Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has blasted President Bola Tinubu over the state of the country, saying his government has failed Nigerians.

Obasanjo stated this on Monday while speaking at the 7.0 Presidential Youth Mentorship Retreat, themed ‘African Youth Renaissance’, at the Youth Development Centre, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

He stated that Tinubu’s incompetence has killed many businesses in the country.

The former President was reacting to the hardship facing Nigerians under the present government.

The Continental Overseer (South West, Nigeria & Middle East) of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Johnson Odesola, has defended the church’s General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, over allegations that former President Olusegun Obasanjo allocated oil wells to some prominent Nigerian pastors during his administration.

Odesola, in an opinion article published on Impact Nigeria on Tuesday, challenged the founder and president of the Ministers’ Prayer Network, Rev. Mosy Madugba, to provide evidence to support his allegation.

Madugba had alleged in a sermon circulating on social media that Obasanjo allocated oil wells to Adeboye, the Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, and the General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi.

Former Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited Group Chief Executive Officer Mele Kyari appeared before the Senate Committee on Public Accounts on Tuesday, months after lawmakers threatened to compel his appearance over alleged financial irregularities.

Kyari arrived at Hearing Room 4 of the National Assembly with a delegation of oil company officials.

His appearance came amid an ongoing Senate investigation into alleged financial discrepancies and unresolved audit queries in the accounts of the NNPCL between 2017 and 2023, reportedly involving more than N210 trillion.

The audit queries, which were forwarded to the committee by the Office of the Auditor-General for the Federation, had prompted lawmakers to demand explanations from the former NNPCL boss and other officials of the company.

The committee, chaired by Senator Ibrahim Dankwambo, representing Gombe North, had resolved to invoke its constitutional powers to compel Kyari’s appearance following his alleged failure to honour several invitations.

The Presidency has urged Nigerians to study the past and current manifestoes of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC and judge the party by the promises it has kept since 2023, when it assumed power.

The Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, gave the charge on Tuesday in Abuja at the unveiling of the APC manifesto, titled ‘From Reforms to Prosperity’. He described the manifesto as a binding pact with the electorate.

“A manifesto, in its strictest sense, is simply a contract between the people and their leaders. It is an inviolable contract, and we take the strict interpretation of what a manifesto represents as gospel under this administration,” he said.
