[The Presidential Blog] There is more rejuvenation going on in the Aviation sector

[The Presidential Blog] Is the Minister of Defence going to address this allegation of abduction at all?

We know it’s the Defence minister we are talking about. Mansur Mohammed Dan-Ali – not so much of a talker him. Last time we remember him saying something to the country, it was to deny an allegation in December that he had directed Gen. Abayomi Olonisakin and Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas to retire. At least he... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] All the allegations leveled against President Buhari’s officers

One thing the pastors have obviously omitted in their 2017 prophecies is the fact that this is the year of pro-active participation in governance by citizens. We led the way here when we prepared a must-do list for the President and we had even given him pointers earlier on how we’d like to be impressed... Read More

President Muhammadu Buhari is currently in another one of his closed door meetings. This time with Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki.

[The Presidential Blog] Are we moving the Presidency in 2017?

Honestly. Because it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand. First it was the jaw-dropping NGN 1.05 billion allocated for presidential travels in 2017 and now we hear the Federal Government is proposing to spend NGN 2.38bn in 2017 on fueling and maintenance of the presidential jets. The same Presidential jets we thought we’d agreed to... Read More

[The Presidential Blog] The President didn’t reunite with Obasanjo afterall

Yesterday should have been the first time President Buhari and his ex-buddy and former President Olusegun Obasanjo after their sudden fallout in November.

To say that there is a general feeling of discontent in Nigeria with the Federal Government will be an understatement. Nigerians are literally floating; living one day after the next and barely surviving on scarce good news. Optimism is waning. The goodwill that brought in a Buhari and President is out of supply. Barely two... Read More

If there’s anything we’ll never ever forget after this administration of the President Muhammadu Buhari, it is all the blaming. Along with recession, the slow response syndrome and #TheOtherRoom.
