Tinubu’s $516M Road Request + Nigerian Army Food Goes Viral + President Ruto Mocks Nigerian English

Adebayo Adelabu resigned as Minister of Power in a rapid midweek sequence and returned to Ibadan to launch another gubernatorial bid—his third after past losses to Seyi Makinde—drawing enthusiastic crowds but mixed, often skeptical, reactions online. In another development, people online are questioning Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s request for a $516 million external loan—presented by Godswill Akpabio—to fund parts of the Sokoto–Badagry highway, with concerns focusing less on the project’s benefits and more on repayment, long-term debt, and its impact on future generations. In Edo State, Seyi Tinubu and the City Boy Movement met with Governor Monday Okpebholo, who praised the group as purposeful, as they begin outreach to youths across all 18 local government areas before expanding regionally. In another story, a video by content creator and activist Justice Crack has sparked reactions after he shared images of the abysmal meals served to Nigerian soldiers in Maiduguri and members of the Nigerian Air Force. The statement contrasts poor conditions reportedly faced by Nigerian soldiers with a report that the federal government spent over ₦604M on reintegrating terrorists under Operation Safe Corridor. Kenyan President William Ruto responded to remarks by President Bola Tinubu, who had claimed Nigerians are better off than Kenyans with Ruto criticising Nigerians’ ability to speak English. In our Good News Report, President Tinubu welcomed a new major feat in Nigeria's aviation sector, with the recording a safety score of 91.45%, the highest ever recorded by the country in an audit by the International Civil Aviation Organisation. Under Milestones, we celebrate Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno on his 62nd birthday, with the President describing him as a diligent apostle driven by people-focused leadership.
