    Tunji Disu to be Sworn in Wednesday as 23rd IGP

    President Bola Tinubu will, on Wednesday, at the Council Chamber of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, administer the oath of office and allegiance to Olatunji Rilwan Disu as the substantive 23rd Inspector-General of Police, IGP.

    This is sequel to the unanimous ratification of his appointment as the IGP by the Nigeria Police Council on Monday.

    A release by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the ceremony will take place during the Federal Executive Council meeting, scheduled for the same day.

    Onanuga further revealed that the meeting of the Nigeria Police Council, which took place at the State House, was presided over by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and had in attendance Vice President Kashim Shettima, state governors and the Chairman of the Police Service Commission, retired DIG Hashimu Argungu, in accordance with the constitution.

    Others in attendance were the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume; the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; the Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila; the Minister of Police Affairs, Senator Ibrahim Gaidam; the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike; and the head of service, Mrs Esther Didi Walson-Jack.

    The President appointed Disu as the new police chief, following the resignation of the former Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.

    Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who spoke glowingly about the Acting Inspector-General of Police, commended Disu for his exemplary services as a policeman, especially when he served as the Commander of the Rapid Response Squad in Lagos State between 2015 and 2021, where his tenure earned him and the RRS recognition for excellence in crime control.

    Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, commended the President’s appointment of Disu, noting that it was based on his excellent career record.

    Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, also lauded Disu for his professionalism.

    Disu served in Wike’s home state of Rivers as Assistant Commissioner, Criminal Investigation Department, and Officer-in-charge, anti-kidnapping unit, between 2014 and 2015. He later served as Commissioner of Police in the FCT Command when Wike became the minister.

    Wike commended him for his efficiency as a crime fighter and for ensuring the command’s strategic impact in addressing security concerns within the territory.

    Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State seconded the motion endorsing Disu’s appointment.

    Disu was born on April 13, 1966, in Lagos State and joined the Nigeria Police Force on May 18, 1992, as a Cadet Assistant Superintendent.

    He rose through the ranks with multiple qualifications in public administration, forensic investigation, criminology, security, legal psychology, and entrepreneurship-credentials that reflect his commitment to knowledge-driven, modern policing.

    The Acting Inspector-General has held critical operational, investigative, and strategic command positions nationwide. His last position was as Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Special Protection Unit and the Force CID Annex, Lagos.

    Tinubu Congratulates Niger Gov Mohammed Umaru Bago on his 52nd Birthday

    President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Mohammed Umaru Bago, Governor of Niger State, on his 52nd birthday and lauds his courage, diligence, and commitment to the state’s development.

    A  statement issued by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the President celebrates with Governor Bago, his family, friends, and political associates on the special occasion, which provides another opportunity for appreciation, reflection, and more alignment with the service of the state, nation, and citizens.

    President Tinubu acknowledges the transformative leadership that the governor has provided in the state, especially on health, education, infrastructure, and the revolution in the agricultural sector that has earned him the epithet “farmer governor’’.

    The President believes that Governor Bago’s experience in the banking sector over the years and his service to the nation as a member of the House of Representatives have prepared him for the onerous, dynamic, and purposeful responsibility of repositioning the state and lifting many out of poverty.

    President Tinubu prays for the well-being of the governor, his family, and the state.

     

     

  • Elections in FCT, Kano, Rivers: Tinubu Calls For Orderliness, Restraint

    Elections in FCT, Kano, Rivers: Tinubu Calls For Orderliness, Restraint

    It is election day in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Kano and Rivers States tomorrow, Saturday, February 20, 2026, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on voters, security agencies, and officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct themselves in an orderly manner during the polls.

    Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, revealed this in a statement on Friday.

    INEC will conduct elections in the six area councils of the FCT and bye-elections in the Ahoada East II and Khana II State constituencies of Rivers State, and in the Kano Municipal and Ungogo constituencies in Kano State.

    President Tinubu urged all eligible voters to come out and vote without fear, emphasising that the democratic process thrives best in an atmosphere of calm, tolerance, and mutual respect.

    He appealed to political parties, candidates, and their supporters to shun violence, inflammatory statements, and actions that undermine the credibility of the process.

    He cautioned against any form of high-handedness, intimidation, or actions that could disenfranchise voters or erode public trust, stressing that security personnel are present to protect lives, property, and the sanctity of the ballot.

    President Tinubu appealed to the Commission to take all necessary measures to bolster voters’ confidence by ensuring timely accreditation, smooth voting processes, accurate collation, and prompt transmission of results, in line with the 2026 Electoral Act.

    “Fellow Nigerians, I assure you that the Federal Government under my administration will continue to support institutions responsible for delivering free, fair, and credible elections.

    “To all residents of the FCT, Kano and Rivers, I commend your civic consciousness. I am confident that these elections will reflect the will of the people and further strengthen our democratic journey as a nation,” the President added.

     

     

  • Tinubu Signs Electoral Amendment Act into Law

    Tinubu Signs Electoral Amendment Act into Law

    Few days after the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, released the timetable for the 2027 general elections, President Bola Tinubu, Wednesday, signed the Electoral Act, 2022 (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Bill 2026 into law. 

    This signing ceremony which took place at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, aa about 5:00 pm on Wednesday, and witnessed by principal officers of the National Assembly, effectively ended months of deliberation and controversy in the National Assembly.

    The law sets the framework for Nigeria’s 2027 election. 

    However, the amendment bill did not enjoy easy voyage at the National Assembly as members, in both Chambers, rancoured over electronic transmission of election results, with some Reps staging a walk-out after bitter debate.

    Debate on the bill was particularly contentious at the senate with serious dispute over Clause 60(3) which mandates the transmission of polling unit results.

    Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe (ADC/Abia South) had opposed a proviso allowing manual transmission when electronic systems fail, arguing that reliance on Form EC8A in such cases could undermine electoral credibility.

    An initial claim by the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, that the division request had been withdrawn triggered vehement objections from opposition senators. Efforts to restore calm failed as tensions escalated, leading to heated exchanges and a brief face-off between Abaribe and Senator Sunday Karimi.

    Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, who had moved a motion to rescind the bill’s earlier passage, clarified that Abaribe’s demand for a division vote was in order. In the end, 55 senators supported retaining the proviso for manual transmission as a backup, while 15 opposed it.

    The Senate also highlighted technical inconsistencies in the bill, noting issues in clauses 6, 9, 10, 22, 23, 28, 29, 32, 42, 47, 51, 60, 62, 64, 65, 73, 77, 86, 87, 89, 93, and 143, which affected cross-referencing, numbering, and internal coherence.

    These discrepancies, combined with debates over Clause 60, delayed the bill’s passage and necessitated detailed clause-by-clause consideration.

    The House of Representatives also experienced its fair share of disruption.

    Hon. Francis Waive, Chairman of the House Committee on Rules and Business, had moved a motion to rescind the December 23, 2025 approval of the bill. Despite protests from several lawmakers, House Speaker, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas declared the motion carried. And the chamber was plunged into chaos. Members later moved into a closed-door session to deliberate further.

    The dispute between the chambers primarily revolved around the electronic transmission provision. The House had originally mandated real-time transmission of results from each polling unit to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Result Viewing Portal (IReV) immediately after Form EC8A is signed and stamped.

    The Senate initially rejected this approach, prompting criticism from civil society and election reform advocates. After negotiations, the upper chamber agreed to electronic transmission while allowing manual collation as a backup in case of network failures.

    To reconcile the differences, a conference committee was formed to harmonise both chambers’ versions even as civil society groups urged lawmakers to uphold the House’s position, stressing that real-time electronic transmission is key to credible, transparent elections.

    The debates also addressed the 2027 election timetable. Concerns were raised that strict adherence to the 360-day notice requirement could push elections into the Ramadan period, affecting voter turnout, logistics, and inclusiveness.

    2027: Tinubu Appoints Gov. Uba Sani as Renewed Hope Ambassador/Dep. Director-General

    President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, as Renewed Hope Ambassador and deputy director-general for party outreach, engagement, and mobilisation.

    A release by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the appointment is with immediate effect.

    Onanuga said, the President, as the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), appointed Governor Sani to the role for his salient leadership and organisational abilities.

    The governor’s responsibilities will include working in close collaboration with the director-general of Renewed Hope Ambassador and the party hierarchy, particularly the national chairman of the APC, to ensure harmony, inclusiveness, and strategic coordination across all levels of mobilisation and engagement architecture.

    President Tinubu, Onanuga continues, expects the Renewed Hope Ambassador and deputy director-general to galvanise, promote and disseminate the party’s programmes and policies, including milestones and achievements, thereby strengthening public confidence and reinforcing the message of Renewed Hope nationwide.

    In a letter conveying the appointment of Governor Sani, President Tinubu wrote: “The overall objective of your appointment is to ensure that the entire citizenry is aware of, understands, and ultimately supports our party and its candidates at all levels for broad national acceptance in the 2027 election. Preparation is critical and essential to achieving this outcome, and your leadership will be central to guiding this process effectively and strategically”

     

     

     

  • Tinubu in Adamawa, Assures Nigerians of More Prosperity; Praises Fintiri, Nuhu Ribadu

    Tinubu in Adamawa, Assures Nigerians of More Prosperity; Praises Fintiri, Nuhu Ribadu

    President Bola Tinubu, on Monday in Yola, Adamawa State, said his administration will sustain the ongoing economic reforms for the benefit of Nigerians, with a greater focus on the inclusion of citizens and their empowerment to achieve more prosperity.

    The President, who was on a one-day official visit to Adamawa State, expressed happiness that the reforms were steadily yielding results across the country, with major transformations in many states, particularly in education, health, and infrastructure, and praised Governor Umaru Fintiri for delivering excellent service to the people.

    “That is the consequence of us working together, and we will achieve more macroeconomic successes. We will achieve more for this country. We are investing heavily in agriculture and human capital development. We must be able to feed ourselves, feed the country.

    “While we continue to encourage our governors, I must say, the solidarity that exists between the federal government and subnationals is extremely encouraging. Things that I don’t have to remind you, you’ll do it, you are carrying the people along. Please continue to do so.”

    President Tinubu noted that the repositioning of the economy through the right policies enabled greater allocations to the states to carry out major projects that directly impacted people’s livelihoods.

    The President commended Governor Umaru Fintiri for effectively utilising the allocations for the benefit of the people through the construction of roads and educational institutions.

    “You’re reflecting the true commitment of a government of the people, by the people and for the people. You’re truly a reflection of who we are as a people united to achieve for our great nation.

    “Umaru Fintiri, I’ve seen a tremendous amount of renewal, commitment from you in investments in the education of our children, and I commend your vision and commitment to the development of Adamawa State,” he said.

    While applauding the Governor for delivering tangible and socio-economically impactful projects. President Tinubu said an eight-lane road and an underpass that will ease mobility and stimulate commerce, and the modern high court built by the government will strengthen the administration of justice.

    President Tinubu urged state governments to channel more resources into the fight against poverty, particularly in improving the quality of education for children.

    The President thanked the traditional rulers for keeping the people working together for harmony and peace.

    “To all the title chiefs, to the traditional leaders, to religious faith leaders, thank you for keeping the peace, working together for Adamawa, working in harmony with one another, encouraging the spirit of togetherness. It is not easy to endure macroeconomic changes and the dynamics in our politics, but I thank all of you.

    The President praised the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, for providing strong leadership.

    “National Security Adviser, the son of the soil, Nuhudeen Ribadu. I must say it clearly here that you’re doing an excellent job, and we are seeing the result. With you, we will defeat the bandits and terrorists. You’re a good National Security Adviser; honest, bold, courageous and committed to the job,” the President added.

    Governor Fintiri thanked the President for accepting the invitation to visit the state and commission projects.

    “We are honoured to receive you on your first visit, and we appreciate the privilege of having you here today to commission a few of our projects, which include a model school – one of the twenty- one model schools built across 21 Local Government Areas of the state. This project cost us N24.8 billion.

    The expanded Galadima Aminu with overhead bridge, underpass, and dualised Gimba road, which was already reinforced with concrete water drains on both sides, cost N15.6 billion. The expanded and remodelled state High Court Complex A and D costs N5.5 billion, and the newly constructed office complex here in the Government House costs us N6.3 billion, respectively,” he said.

    The governor commended the President’s laudable reforms, assuring him of the state’s and the indigenes’ support.

    Five governors attended the event: Agbu Keffas of Taraba State; Babagana Zulum of Borno State; Caleb Muftwang of Plateau State; Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, and Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State. Some ministers and other top government officials also attended the event.

     

  • Statecraft and Nigeria’s Dangerous Diplomatic Lacuna, By Kingsley Moghalu

    Statecraft and Nigeria’s Dangerous Diplomatic Lacuna, By Kingsley Moghalu

    Over the weekend I read a news story in @MobilePunch about how several countries’ authorities have expressed unease about the prospect of receiving new ambassadors from Nigeria virtually 1 year to the end of tenure of our current President, @officialABAT. If true (and such concern would be logical based on standard diplomatic practice), this should not be a surprise.

    To be announcing ambassadorial appointments nearly a year to the end of an elected government’s tenure, when the practice is that receiving countries must issue a formal “agreement”, a formal decision by the receiving country to accept credentials from the individual named as Ambassador – a process that takes several weeks to months at the earliest- does not indicate serious and responsible governance. Even if not publicly stated, receiving countries will whisper their unease through various channels. For Nigeria to be in such a situation is bad for the image of our country, once regarded as a medium power in world politics and the undisputed numero uno in Africa.

    Our political leaders, most of them not famous for deep thinking or particularly knowledgeable about governance and diplomatic practices, and existing as we do in our own parallel universe in Nigeria in which we assume the rest of the world functions the way we do or don’t , are not sensitive enough to these kinds of things. The result is that our country loses out both on substance (e.g. the diplomatic lacuna in strategic capitals like Washington DC which contributed without question to the US military intervention against terrorists in Nigeria), and brand-wise. If the Nigerian leader did not consider the appointment of Ambassadors in a timely manner important, as obviously was the case, then he should have allowed those appointed by his predecessor to remain at post for his first term of office. By recalling the ambassadors in 2023, Tinubu left a dangerous lacuna that no leader conversant in statecraft should expose his or her country to.

    We have all seen that there are limits to the prioritization of political buccaneering over hands-on governance and statecraft. The question is: have we learnt any lessons? Although the ambassadorial list has several decent people, the calibre and quality of several ambassadorial nominees range from the pedestrian to the ridiculous. This politicization of governance, in which political considerations are the overriding motive behind most decisions by a government, has led to the death of merit in the governance of Nigeria. We all are the losers.

    The Seattle Seahawks routed the New England Patriots 29–13 to claim their second Lombardi Trophy.

    A statement by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the President also congratulated Michael Onwenu, who played for the other side, the New England Patriots, and is regarded as one of the most dominant offensive linemen.

    President Tinubu commended all the players for the pride and honour that they have brought to their country of descent, especially Emmanwori, Nwosu, and Maye, who raised Nigeria’s flag after winning the Super Bowl with the Seahawks.

    The President stated that these players and their accomplishments affirm Nigerians’ global reputation for excellence and talent.

    Full text of Tinubu’s Address to 2nd NEC: We Shall Overcome

    ADDRESS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR, AT THE SECOND EDITION OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMIC COUNCIL (NEC) CONFERENCE, STATE HOUSE, ABUJA

    9 FEBRUARY 2026

    Protocol

    • Distinguished Vice President and Chairman of the National Economic Council,
    • Your Excellencies, State Governors and Deputy Governors,
    • Honourable Ministers,
    • Members of the National Assembly,
    • Development Partners, Private Sector Leaders,
    • Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

    I am pleased to address this Second Edition of the National Economic Council Conference at a critical moment in Nigeria’s development journey.

    I commend the National Economic Council, under the leadership of Vice President Kashim Shettima, for sustaining this vital platform for strategic dialogue, policy coordination, and collective action across national and subnational governments. NEC remains a cornerstone of fiscal federalism and economic governance in our country.

    The theme of this Conference — “Delivering Inclusive Growth and Sustainable National Development: The Renewed Hope National Development Plan 2026–2030” — speaks directly to our national aspirations. It reflects our resolve to move from recovery to transformation, and from narrow growth to one that is inclusive, resilient, and sustainable.

    Nigeria stands at a defining crossroads. We face inherited structural challenges, including macroeconomic imbalances, infrastructure deficits, unemployment, poverty, climate vulnerabilities, and limited fiscal space. Yet, our people possess the resilience, creativity, and determination to overcome these realities.

    Since the inception of this administration, we have undertaken bold and necessary reforms to stabilise the economy, restore confidence, and lay the foundation for long-term growth. These reforms are instruments for delivering prosperity, dignity, and opportunity to all Nigerians.

    We have recorded notable achievements that reflect our commitment to cooperative federalism and inclusive development. First, states and local governments now receive increased and more predictable FAAC allocations, improving their capacity to pay salaries, invest in infrastructure, and deliver social services.

    Second, we have strengthened macroeconomic stability through improved revenue performance, stronger public financial management, and enhanced fiscal coordination.

    Third, we have prioritised infrastructure development across transportation, power, digital connectivity, housing, and irrigation as a catalyst for inclusive growth.

    Fourth, we have expanded social investment and human capital programmes targeting vulnerable households, youth, women, and small businesses.

    The Renewed Hope Ward Development Project further demonstrates our commitment to grassroots inclusion through a bottom-up approach to national development. These successes reflect strong collaboration among federal and state governments, development partners, and the private sector.

    The Renewed Hope National Development Plan 2026–2030 marks the next phase of our national journey. It is evidence-based, realistic, and anchored on inclusive, balanced, and environmentally sustainable growth.

    The Plan prioritises economic diversification and productivity; human capital development; sub-national competitiveness based on comparative advantage; private sector–led growth; and climate resilience. Its success will depend largely on effective implementation at the state and local government levels, making NEC central to aligning national priorities with sub-national realities.

    This Conference has reinforced collaboration, shared accountability, and a focus on practical solutions and measurable outcomes. We must move decisively from declarations to implementation through data-driven decision-making, peer learning among states, and innovative financing models.

    Nigeria’s diversity is our strength. When every state grows, Nigeria grows. When growth reaches the poorest households, national stability is strengthened. When development is sustainable, our children inherit hope.

    The task before us is demanding, but the opportunity is historic. The Renewed Hope Agenda is a national compact — a promise that the sacrifices of Nigerians will lead to a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous nation.

    I am confident that the resolutions of this Conference will accelerate inclusive growth and sustainable national development.

    On this note, I hereby declare open the Second Edition of the National Economic Council Conference.

    Thank you, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

  • Tinubu to Nigerians: We’ll Overcome Terrorism, Banditry

    Tinubu to Nigerians: We’ll Overcome Terrorism, Banditry

    President Bola Tinubu, Monday, declared that Nigeria will defeat terrorism and banditry, describing the security threats as “unacceptable” and alien to the nation’s core values.

    A statement issued in Abuja by the Special Adviser on Information and Starategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the President made the declaration while opening the  Second National Economic Council (NEC) Conference at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja.

    In his speech, President Tinubu assured Nigerians of his administration’s resolve to strengthen the country’s security forces and restore peace across affected communities.

    “I promise you here that I’ll play my part,” he said. “Seven zones of mechanisation are coming. I promise Nigerians that this will be delivered, and I am here again to further find ways to strengthen our security forces and defeat terrorism.

    “That, I promise you, is what has kept all of us sleepless at night, but I assure you we will win with determination and resilience. We will overcome this unacceptable terrorism and banditry. It’s not part of our culture. It’s foreign to us.”

    The President described insecurity as an economic hindrance, stressing that all hands must be on deck to find an immediate solution.

    He particularly commended the governors of Borno, Katsina and Kaduna states, as well as others, for doing “so much to defend our freedom, liberty and our commonwealth,” he added.

    Welcoming state governors, ministers, members of the National Assembly, development partners and private sector leaders to the two-day conference themed “Delivering Inclusive Growth and Sustainable National Development: The Renewed Hope National Development Plan 2026–2030,” President Tinubu described the gathering as a reflection of collective dedication to national progress.

    He praised the National Economic Council, chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima, for sustaining a vital platform for policy coordination and strategic dialogue.

    “I am pleased to address the second edition of the National Economic Council Conference at a critical moment in Nigeria’s development journey. NEC remains a cornerstone of fiscal federalism and economic governance in our country,” he said.

    Highlighting the key achievements of his administration thus far, President Tinubu said the economic reforms undertaken since inception have helped stabilise the economy and restore confidence.

    “I must say again at this juncture, the monetary policy that we have embarked on since the reforms has yielded positive results and gained recognition around the world,” he noted.

    He commended the Central Bank of Nigeria under Governor Yemi Cardoso for restoring confidence in Nigeria’s monetary policy.

    President Tinubu said state and local governments now receive increased, more predictable federal allocations, enhancing their capacity to pay salaries, invest in infrastructure, and deliver social services.

    He added that infrastructure development across transportation, power, digital connectivity, housing and irrigation has been prioritised.

    The President also highlighted expanded social investment and human capital programmes targeting vulnerable households, youth, women and small businesses, alongside grassroots-focused initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

    “The Renewed Hope Ward Development Project further demonstrates our commitment to grassroots inclusion through a bottom-up approach to national development.

    “These successes reflect strong collaboration among the federal and state governments, development partners and the private sector,” he said.

    In the Renewed Hope National Development Plan 2026–2030, President Tinubu explained that it represents the next phase of Nigeria’s national journey, anchored in inclusive, resilient, and environmentally sustainable growth.

    “The Plan prioritises economic diversification and productivity; human capital development; subnational competitiveness based on comparative advantage; private sector-led growth; and climate resilience.

    “Its success will depend largely on effective implementation at the state and local government levels, making NEC central to aligning national priorities with sub-national realities.

    “This Conference has reinforced collaboration, shared accountability and a focus on practical solutions and measurable outcomes.

    “We must move decisively from declarations to implementation through data-driven decision-making, peer learning among states and innovative financing models,” he said.

    President Tinubu told the conference that while the task before the nation is challenging, the opportunity is historic.

    He expressed confidence that resolutions from the conference would advance agricultural diversification, including dairy farming, livestock investment and ranching.
