All is set for the launch of ‘One Decade of Progressive, Impactful Leadership in Nigeria’: a book by Hope Uzodimma, Imo state governor

The special guest of honour is President Bola Tinubu

Venue of the event is the renovated Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre, Owerri

When Tinubu resigned from Mobil to join politics, invested his hard earned money to change the politics of Nigeria. When the military truncated the democracy, and Tinubu was on the list of those to be kpaied. And Tinubu jumped on a motorbike to escape to Benin Republic and then, Europe.

When Tinubu was raising funds for NADECO to fight the military and bring back Democracy. When TINUBU’s house was bombed in Ikoyi. When Tinubu eventually returned, became Lagos Governor and Obasanjo withheld the Lagos LGs allocation. When Obasanjo declared election as do or kpai and set PDP hooligans against the Jagaban. When Tinubu became the only Progressive standing in the SW. Hmmm

When Tinubu launched a counterattack against the PDP and retrieved all the lost grounds in the West and part of Midwest. When Tinubu became the only key that could open the Villa door to Buhari. When Tinubu was openly ostracized and demonized by the Villa Cabal. When Tinubu mentees were used against him in Abuja. When Tinubu was treated like a l***r! Chai!

When TINUBU’s properties were burnt down and his life was directly hunted by the EnSars terrorists….”catch him, he’s in London, get him he’s in France” and Tinubu was picking the calls of his arsonists saying “I remain the Asiwaju of Lagos”! When Ipob leader was on a live radio urging his members to get Tinubu….

When Tinubu remained unperturbed and went to meet Buhari “I will run for President”. Charismatic Jagaban!

When the powers that be were fighting the Jagaban , a man with no political appointment! When all those he helped to power failed him and only Number 4 Man stood with Tinubu the way Ruth stood with Naomi!

And when Tinubu defeated the enemies within at Eagle Square. And when the enemies within teamed up with enemies without to stop Tinubu, confiscated naira, hid petrol, frustrated Tinubu’s campaign! And when Tinubu defeated both the enemies within and enemies without!

Now that Tinubu is not just fulfilling destiny, he is breaking the shackles of backwardness and institutionally rooted poverty, you are shouting, thinking he can be sabotaged! Far from it! If you fail to succumb to God’s Will, you will all end up like Pharaoh and hi

JUST IN: President Bola Tinubu has instructed the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, to Immediately begin the construction of two hostels, each with a capacity for 300 students, at the Nigerian Law School in Abuja.

President Tinubu has also issued instructions to build the road that connects the Body of Benchers Secretariat in Jabi District to Nile University.

Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo has called for a swift and thorough investigation into the altercation involving ValueJet staff and Wasiu ‘Kwam 1’ Ayinde at Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on 6 August.

Minister Keyamo stated that video footage and agency reports describe a concerning episode in which Kwam 1 repeatedly positioned himself on the tarmac, blocking the aircraft from taxiing into position for take-off. He condemned the conduct as dangerous and likened it to “a hostage situation,” underscoring that the content he carried—water or alcoholic beverage—was beside the point.

However, the Minister also faulted the crew’s response, noting: “No amount of provocation should make a Captain begin taxiing an aircraft without ensuring the security personnel have safely removed an obstruction. Both parties clearly violated safety protocols as set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).”

In response, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has already suspended the pilot’s licence pending investigation, a move Minister Keyamo acknowledged but criticised as imbalanced. “What applies to the goose must also apply to the gander,” he remarked, emphasising the need for fairness in enforcement.

Consequently, Keyamo directed that Kwam 1 be placed on a no-fly list until the investigation concludes. He instructed the NCAA to alert all domestic and international airlines that failure to comply with the ban may result in licence withdrawal.

The Minister concluded by affirming the importance of preventing such dangerous confrontations and ensuring that all airport activity remains secure and orderly.

Is the six-month blacklist for Kwam 1 justified or too harsh?
