What if Buhari is truly out of the 2019 race?

by Alexander O. Onukwue It would certainly make the political atmosphere in the country very interesting if President Muhammadu Buhari decides against running for a second term in 2019. “Baba Buhari hasn’t told us what he wants to re-contest in 2019”, said Aisha Alhassan, the Minister of Women Affairs commenting on her support for former...

“The Night King can’t cross the wall and come South” | Osinbajo visits Benue in Buhari’s stead; Twitter reacts

It would appear Nigeria’s president has reverted to type following his return to the country: Cancelling Federal Executive Council meetings, declining to visit areas of disaster/humanitarian crisis, working from home etc. Like Trump’s penchant for disappointing the American people with every new law and each new tweet, President Buhari walks in his shoes on a...

[The Presidential Blog] Osinbajo finally denies “medical tourism” comments

We sort of predicted this already. When yesterday we learnt that ‘the Vice-President said that medical tourism has cost Nigeria billions of dollars and “we want to stop that trend because it is draining our reserves”, we knew a disclaimer was on its way from the Office of the Vice-president. He could not possibly have asked... Read More

The Thread: These are the problems with NBC’s new rules

This administration appears to be preoccupied with hate speech. Recently, Osinbajo said that “hate speech is a species of terrorism” and leaders will be doing a “grave disservice” to maintain silence about it. As if it had predicted the Vice President’s tough stance, the National Broadcasting Commission had already issued new rules on the 10th... Read More

Governor Fayose, Femi Fani-Kayode, Yemi Osinbajo, CNN | Here are the winners and losers from President Buhari’s return

President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence from the country had begun ruffling feathers from the moment he sent the Senate an official notice handing his government over to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to “coordinate” while he received treatment in London.

[The Presidential Blog] Bayo Omoboriowo is posting about Buhari again | You know what that means right?

We found a corollary between our President’s presence and his personal photographer’s activities. It’s proven. When President Buhari took his first medical leave in January, we only became certain he was coming back return when we found that Bayo Omoboriowo was in the same town he as scheduled to land in. And we weren’t wrong. We wrote... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] It’s official! The Presidency, as a unit, is confused

Earlier today, we reported that the Acting President was going to swear-in two new ministers-designate – Stephen Ocheni and Suleiman Hassan – only for President Buhari’s spokesperson, Garba Shehu to debunk the report as false via his Twitter handle. So, a little misunderstanding right? We immediately reported the story since we had published the earlier... Read More

YNaija Editorial: Yes please, the Presidency may approach the bench immediately

When three weeks ago, Babatunde Raji Fashola decided to take on the National Assembly by himself over the cuts made to his Ministry of Works’ Budget, it was beyond embarrassing. Not only on account of the way that he sparred with members of the legislature in an almost personal manner but also because as the governor... Read More

Fayose knows everything about Buhari’s health status. We should listen to him

Whose report shall we believe? Governor Ayodele Fayose‘s gloom-ridden assertions or Acting President Yemi Osinbajo‘s good news. President Muhammadu Buhari has been out of the country for health-based reasons for 66 days and counting and Nigerians have been largely kept in the dark on the state of his health. Up until Osinbajo‘s recent feedback, the... Read More

5 totally dramatic moments to expect during Donald Trump’s second trip overseas #G20Summit

The first time Donald Trump travelled overseas in his capacity as America’s leader, we had ourselves a jolly good time. The 45th POTUS shoved another world leader, looked dumb as they come dancing to Arabian tunes, got swatted on the hand by his own wife and failed at his infamous handshake game by the 39-year-old...
