- Tinubu urged to stay focused on ‘renewed hope’ agenda amidst legal challenges and distractions
- Call for inclusive governance and transformation of Nigeria’s economy
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been encouraged to stay focused on his ‘renewed hope’ agenda for Nigeria despite his administration’s ongoing legal challenges and other distractions. Challenges include presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) contesting Tinubu’s victory at the Supreme Court, as well as the controversy surrounding Tinubu’s Chicago State University Certificate.
A 2023 APC Presidential Campaign Council member, Ginika Tor, emphasized that Tinubu should maintain his determination to pursue his agenda and address issues of inclusive governance, even amid these distractions.
Ginika Tor, also the President of the Omalegwuoku Progressive Initiative for Tinubu/Shettima, called on the president to continue transforming Nigeria’s economy, enhancing security, and promoting political inclusion. She also urged Tinubu to include competent progressives who share his development ideology and have worked diligently to support his government.
She also appealed to people from the eastern region to embrace peace, emphasizing the need to progress together and support the administration’s efforts to reach its goals.
Atiku’s team blasts BBC over report on Tinubu’s Chicago certificate
Special Assistant on Public Communications, to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Mr Phrank Shaibu, has said the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, erred in its ‘fact-check’ report claiming that there was no evidence that President Bola Tinubu forged his Chicago State University certificate.
Shaibu, in a statement in Abuja, on Wednesday, alleged that the report was part of “a hatchet job, “ aimed at turning the tide in Tinubu’s favour adding that, “the outrage it had solicited from the generality of Nigerians was enough evidence to show that the BBC goofed.”
The Atiku aide said the BBC’s move was unsurprising as it was in line with a previous statement he had issued wherein he had revealed that the Tinubu administration was set to unleash its full propaganda programme.
