STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

ATIKU ABUBAKAR'S LATEST CLAIMS ARE BASELESS AND DISTRACTING

The attention of the Presidency has been drawn to the unfounded allegations made by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who claims to be the subject of an EFCC investigation regarding unsubstantiated financial dealings involving Lagos State.



These claims, circulated through his media office, are false and reflect a troubling pattern of relying on social media gossip over substance. It is disheartening that a politician of Atiku's stature would lend credibility to baseless social media speculation to remain politically relevant.



President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains focused on addressing critical national challenges and advancing his administration's agenda for Nigeria's growth and stability. The President has neither the time nor the inclination to engage in petty political distractions.



Atiku's allegations are infantile and a transparent ploy to deflect from his political setbacks. His repeated attempts to drag the Presidency and now the Lagos State Government into fabricated controversies reveal a desperate bid for attention amid his fading attempt to cobble a coalition.



Since his defeat in the 2023 presidential election, the former Vice President has failed to rise to the dignified role of an elder statesman. Rather than contributing constructively to the national discourse, he has chosen the path of divisive rhetoric and unfounded accusations.



We urge Atiku Abubakar to redirect his energy toward initiatives that foster unity, economic progress, and democratic stability—qualities Nigeria urgently needs.



Lastly, the former Vice President should know that the EFCC, as an independent institution, operates within its statutory mandate without external influence. Any insinuation otherwise is a disservice to the agency's professionalism and the rule of law.



The Presidency remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the pursuit of national development—priorities that demand our undivided attention.

President Tinubu has instructed a Manhunt for the individuals responsible for the murder of hunters in Edo. Expressing his shock at the heinous act on Thursday, he has called on the police and other security agencies to carry out prompt and comprehensive investigations and to bring the suspects to justice.

In a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, President Tinubu expressed his condolences to the families of the victims. He promised them that those responsible for these crimes would not be permitted to spill the blood of innocent Nigerians without consequences.

The statement reads: “President Bola Tinubu has condemned the murder of travelling hunters intercepted by local vigilantes in the Uromi community of Esan North Local Government of Edo State.

“The President, who expressed shock at the dastardly act on Thursday, directed Police and other security agencies to conduct swift and thorough investigations and punish the suspected culprits.

“President Tinubu commiserated with the families of the affected victims and assured them that criminals would not be allowed to shed the blood of innocent Nigerians in vain.

“The President noted that jungle justice has no place in Nigeria, and all Nigerians have the freedom to move freely in any part of the country.

“President Tinubu commended the Edo State governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and community leaders in Uromi for their swift response to avert the escalation of tension.”

I sent the kids to get snacks for a game we wanted to play. They got back with this as one of the things they bought.

I was troubled and asked them to go trash the milk/chocolate stuff inside, and told them not to ever buy it ever again! I gave them valid reasons which they understood and even asked I showed other parents.

I may be old school but this feels weird. Crazy shots chocolate/ milk thingy for kids? Of all pack you chose Injection syringe? What are you promoting?

When we say a shot is crazy inside a syringe does it mean well? Can a malaria injection be termed crazy shot? What about c0dine? Isn't that a crazy shot?

Are kids being pushed to get used to taking crazy shots in forms of sweets so they don't feel strange when they see the main crazy shots in future?

Funnily this isn't a Nigeria product from the label! What exactly do this people take us for? Malo?

Does anyone feel same or I am just an over thinking parent

When Nigeria go be like Ghana

Its time we show the world that we are real(NIGERIANS)

Victor Osimhen: I didn't walk out on my teammate Victor Boniface and some others out of disrespect; I was just frustrated after the final whistle.

“Victor Boniface tried to calm me down, but at that moment, I didn’t want to hear anything. I walked away not out of disrespect, but because I was hurting. I give it my all every time I step on that pitch, not just for myself, but for my team, for Nigeria, and for the fans who believe in us,” Osimhen revealed.

He continued, “We needed that win. We needed those points. Now, we have to fight even harder to qualify for the World Cup. It’s not over, but we can’t continue making the same mistakes. I just want us to be better, to do better, because Nigeria deserves nothing less.”

“I can’t lie; I was so frustrated. That match against Zimbabwe? We should have won it. We had the lead, we controlled the game, and then, just like that, we let it slip.

“When I scored, I felt relieved. I thought, ‘Yes, this is it. We’re taking the three points home.’ But football can be cruel. A last-minute equalizer, just seconds away from victory, shattered everything. The whistle blew, and I just couldn’t hold back my emotions at that moment,” He added.
