Nigerians Bola Tinubu Administration

In a video that has surfaced online, a small group of Nigerians were captured fervently praying for the success of the current president, Bola Tinubu. The inauguration of Bola Tinubu as the 16th president of the federal republic of Nigeria took place on May 29, 2023.

However, with over a month into his administration, the country has been witnessing widespread complaints on social media due to the rising prices of fuel, electricity, school fees, and other essential commodities. Amidst these challenging circumstances, a group of individuals, numbering over 5, were seen in the video holding the president’s official portrait while offering prayers for his success.

My administration experienced hostile handover ― Otti

My administration experienced hostile handover ― Otti

Dr. Alex Otti, Abia state governor, has narrated how his administration experienced a very hostile handover on May 29, 2023, when he took over governance from his predecessor, Okezie Ikpeazu. Otti, while inaugurating a judicial panel of inquiry to recover government properties and funds allegedly looted during previous administrations in the state, lamented that the situation made it difficult for him to hit the ground running.

My administration experienced hostile handover ― Otti

Abia State Governor, Alex Otti He stated this at Abia Government House, Umuahia while also claiming that he assumed office blindly and below ground zero, alleging that he had discovered that the reason for non-cooperation may have arisen from mischief from those who are in the custody of public properties and funds. He said; “Let me reveal that this administration experienced a very hostile handover situation which made it very difficult for us to hit the ground running on the 29th of May, as we had anticipated. We, therefore, assumed office blindly and had to start practically from below ground zero. We are now discovering that the reason for the lack of cooperation might have arisen from widespread mischief by some of those who were given custody of our collective assets and welfare.” “It gives me great pleasure to have you here today for the inauguration of this judicial panel of inquiry into the recovery of public assets. Ordinarily, the desire of this administration would have been to focus on the business of governance and the delivering of the dividend of democracy, without resorting to any form of inquiry into past deeds. Unfortunately, since our assumption of office, about a month ago, we have been inundated with complaints of unimaginable and large-scale malfeasance by very highly placed members of the past government and their patrons. We have also experienced unbridled looting and misuse of government properties and resources. Besides we have been experiencing difficulties in accessing government properties, which would usually be available to continue with the business of governance. “As at now, so many MDAs find it very difficult to perform their day-to-day duties. Even public schools were not spared as part of their lands have been converted to private use. “It is for the foregoing reasons that we came to the conclusion that it would amount to being insensitive and reckless and encouraging bad behaviour, if our administration did not listen to the yearnings of those who elected us, by looking into their complaints. “The government decided therefore to set up this Judicial Panel of Inquiry to ensure the recovery of government funds and properties.” He listed the terms of reference to the panel of inquiry to include;” To receive and examine complaints and memoranda from individuals and corporate entities on the looting and or conversion of Government Properties, funds and related matters and where necessary make recommendations to the government for remedial measures or any other measures as appropriate. “Examine and ascertain whether government moveable and immovable assets and funds or part of it has been illegally acquired, occupied, converted to private use and identify the persons responsibly and further make recommendations for recovery and appropriate sanctions. “Ascertain the extent of allocation and revocation of land in Abia State from May 2015 – May 2023 and determine the propriety of such allocation and revocation. Review the award and execution of contracts from May 2015 to May 2023 and ascertain if they were in conformity with extant laws. “To investigate any other matter incidental or related to the foregoing terms of reference and make recommendations to the government based on their findings.” The Governor further directed the panel to perform its work expeditiously and urged the public to support them with any information that will help in the recovery of looted government properties and funds. Otti also noted that the setting up of the panel should be a guide to officeholders that when they have served out their tenure, the same standards would be used to judge them and urged them not to be found wanting.

How my administration will tackle corruption among judges- President-elect Tinubu

GistReel

President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has promised to tackle corruption among judges in Nigeria by ensuring that they do not live in squalor. He made this known during the inauguration of the Magistrates’ Court Complex in Rivers State, built by Governor Nyesom Wike’s administration and named after a former Chief Judge of the state, Justice Iche Ndu (retd.). Tinubu praised Governor Wike for his efforts in supporting the judiciary in the state but stated that his incoming administration would take a different approach to tackle corruption among judges. “You don’t expect your judges to live in squalor, to operate in squalor, to dispense justice in squalor. This is part of the changes that are necessary in our policy think tank,” he said. He further stated that paying attention to the welfare of judges is crucial in the fight against corruption. “If you don’t want your judges to be corrupt, you got to pay attention to their welfare. If you want fair dispensation of justice, you don’t want them to operate in hazardous conditions. Let’s think value for value,” Tinubu added. Tinubu also highlighted the need for consumer credit to reduce the propensity for corruption. He said, “If I don’t have consumer credit and you want me to pay for the car I needed at once, N5m, N6m, driving temptation to corruption. But if you have consumer credit, then that will reduce the propensity to corruption. We don’t want our judges to play foul, to compromise justice. Not just the books, but do something. And I promise you, we are going to review all of these in our policy think tank.” Tinubu promised to prioritize the welfare of judges and improve their working conditions to ensure fair dispensation of justice. “I believe that by addressing some of these welfare issues, you will help to reduce corruption among the judges. That’s part of the fundamental change we are going to make. We are going to prioritize the welfare of our judges so that they can dispense justice without fear or favour,” he said.

Buhari apologizes to those his administration caused pain

He acknowledged feeling fortunate and satisfied as a politician, having previously held positions such as military governor of Borno State in 1976, Minister of Petroleum Resources in the same year, and Head of State from 1983 to 1985. Buhari also expressed gratitude to the citizens for enduring his eight-year presidency, which began with his inauguration on May 29, 2015. Buhari’s Apology to Those Hurt by His Administration “Those that think that I have hurt them so much, please pardon me,” Buhari said when he hosted a controlled number of guests at the ninth and final Sallah homage held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. “I think this is a very good coincidence for me to say goodbye to you and thank you for tolerating me for more than seven and a half years. “I honestly consider myself very lucky; I was made a governor, minister of petroleum, head of state in uniform, then after three attempts, God, through technology and PVC, I became president. I think God has given me an incredible opportunity to serve as your president. And I thank God for that. “So, please, whoever feels I have done wrong to them, we are all humans. There is no doubt I hurt some people and I wish you will pardon me. And those that think that I have hurt them so much, please pardon me.”  Buhari’s Retirement Plan “I am counting the days. Democracy is a good thing; otherwise, how can somebody from the other side be a president for two terms? From my home town to the Niger Republic is eight kilometers. “I assure you, I have deliberately arranged to be as far away from you as possible, not because I don’t appreciate the love you’ve shown to me, but because I think I’ve gotten what I have asked and I would rather quietly retire to my hometown (Daura, Katsina).”
