President Tinubu: Anambra visit and the petals of inclusive leadership, by Fredrick Nwabufo
President Tinubu: Anambra visit and the petals of inclusive leadership, by Fredrick Nwabufo
In botanical terms, inclusive leadership is like a flower of which beauty proceeds from the anatomy of each petal or the leaves of its corolla. It takes different parts to form a whole, and there is no stronger force than a united people.
President Bola Tinubu has steadily demonstrated a rare rallying quality; pulling together and not setting asunder. Whether north, south, east, or west, he has remained consistent as an even-handed arbiter, dealing graciously and honourably with everyone.
On May 2, he visited Katsina State, where he made bold and decisive declarations against banditry and terrorism in the North-West zone. He reiterated his resolve that Nigeria would never succumb to the designs of terror and asked the military to intensify its efforts to remove the vestiges of the menace.
The President visited Enugu State on January 4. The visit, his first port of call in the year, underscored the importance accorded to the South-East zone, as well as the President’s genuine effort at bringing all Nigerians together.
In Enugu, President Tinubu interacted with a melange of leaders in the South-East, listening, taking note of their concerns, and ending with a fine lexical smorgasbord of unity, hope, and compassion.
In Anambra, his second visit to the South-East in 2025, the President reprised his accustomed nationalistic aspect – not a performance or a contrivance, but an organic and time-honed disposition.
President Tinubu paid a visit to Anambra State on Thursday, May 8. He was received with flourish, elegance, and exceeding excitement — an undisputed affirmation of the Igbo saying, “Nkea bu nke anyi” (He is our own).
It was a carnival in the streets of Awka as the President’s convoy entered the city, a welcome deserving only of a well-striped warrior — Dike. The President was honoured with the foremost traditional title — Dike Si-mba of Anambra — mighty warrior/hero.
Earlier, he had inaugurated the Emeka Anyaoku Institute of International Studies and Diplomacy at Nnamdi Azikwe University; the new Government House, and Solution Funcity.
Speaking at Ekwueme Square, a stadium, where an open meeting was held with an array of South-East leaders, opinion moulders and other citizens, President Tinubu thanked the people of Anambra for the warm welcome and their support.
“I know our diversity will lead to prosperity.
“South-East, I salute your enterprise, your innovation, and commitment to progress,” the President said.
In his address, Governor Chukwuma Soludo thanked the President for honouring the state by visiting. He said the last state visit by any President was in 2012.
He commended the President for having the courage to take tough decisions that were already turning around the economy and encouraged the President to stay the course.
The governor said his support for President Tinubu was rooted in ideology and principle and described the President as the “Professor of Federalism.”
Chief Emeka Anyaoku, former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, also thanked the President, underscoring his expansiveness, accommodating, and fatherly disposition.
The significance of the President’s domestic trips is the exigency of solidarising, as well as of building bridges and fostering unity. Nigerians across the country can see, feel, and hear their President in the flesh. He comes to them with words of hope, encouragement, understanding, compassion, and action.
The President has shown time and time again that he is the leader that Nigeria sorely needs at this time to mend the fault lines, the fissures, and to disentangle the national antinomy.
Leadership is by example. It is in the doings. It is in the results. Little wonder Nigerians across all artificial aisles are rallying towards the President. The ability to bring people together, regardless of any unnatural boundaries, is the great stuff of leadership.
President Tinubu epitomises this outlier quality of leadership.

Excitement as Zamfara Under Governor Lawal Begins Airlift of Pilgrims at Zamfara Airport
There is palpable excitement in Zamfara State as the administration of Governor Dauda Lawal officially commenced the 2026 Hajj airlift for pilgrims from the Gusau Airport (GIA). In a historic move aimed at easing the pilgrimage process, the state government announced that the first batch of pilgrims who departed for the Holy Land today, Friday, 15th May 2026.
This milestone marks the fulfillment of Governor Lawal’s promise to make direct departures from Zamfara a reality, eliminating the need for pilgrims to travel to other states for airlift. However, the state government has issued a strict advisory to the public regarding conduct at the airport. To ensure security and facilitate the smooth coordination of the airlift operations, escorting pilgrims to the airport is strictly prohibited.
Family members and friends wishing to bid farewell to their loved ones are directed to do so only at the Hajj Camp. The restriction, according to officials, is a necessary measure to prevent congestion and maintain order at the airport premises. Officials confirm that the airlift is now underway at Gusau International Airport. The development has been met with widespread praise from intending pilgrims, who expressed relief at being able to begin their spiritual journey directly from their home state.
The Zamfara State Government extended its sincere gratitude to Governor Lawal for his commitment, emphasizing that the direct airlift reflects a new chapter of convenience and efficiency for the state’s annual Hajj operations.

Dr. Chris Okafor Declares Grace Nation Is In The Season Of Signs And Wonders
Dr. Chris Okafor Declares Grace Nation Is In The Season Of Signs And Wonders
…Reaffirm that when disobedience occurs, God’s Kingdom withdraws; serving with sincerity and fervor leads to triumph
~By Sunday Adeyemi
The metamorphosis of Grace Nation into a terrestrial paradise is palpable, with multifaceted miracles manifesting daily, as it has evolved from a church into a comprehensive movement where the all-powerful hand of God operates in diverse dimensions
The 14th of May 2026 midweek Prophetic Healing Deliverance and Solutions service was a testament to the power of faith, witnessing remarkable displays of miraculous healings, deliverances, and solutions. God’s omnipresent hand was visibly manifest, touching lives and restoring health, notably in the case of a man afflicted with body pains for 26 years, who, after being prayed for by the Generational Prophet, experienced instantaneous relief.
During the midweek service, a notable miracle took place when an 11-year-old boy who was born mute spoke for the first time. Furthermore, a woman carrying twins for an extraordinary period of 2 years was suddenly delivered; labor ensued immediately after she received prayer, necessitating her hospitalization. In a stunning display of divine intervention, growth ceased, and a woman testified to the efficacy of the Generational Prophet’s prayers, which had been offered on her behalf a few weeks earlier. Specifically, her business-related struggles seemed insurmountable until her tricycle, which had lain dormant for weeks, suddenly sprang to life without any mechanical intervention.
Marital obstacles hindering the two brides-to-be were removed, as many expectant mothers were blessed with miracle babies. It is evident that Grace Nation is undergoing its phases of astounding Signs and Wonders.
Generational Prophet Dr. Chris Okafor, in his teachings on ‘Dealing With My Daddy’s Devil,’ points out that the sins of fathers can weigh heavily on their children, and unless one actively works to break this cycle, generational battles will inevitably continue from one generation to the next
*How to Deal with Your Daddy’s Devil*
To successfully address the issue of generational curses or strongholds in your family, it is necessary to understand the underlying spiritual principles and technical aspects. Knowing the source and method of entry of the devil into your bloodline, as well as the reasons behind its establishment in your father’s house, is vital. By understanding these key concepts, you will be able to make positive changes and effectively deal with these generational battles
*Breaking Free from Generational Conflict.*
In order to overcome the devilish influences of your father, serving your Lord and Savior in truth and spirit is essential; this empowers and elevates you above all earthly struggles
A strong prayer life is crucial for spiritual well-being; the devil commonly uses the depletion of one’s prayer life as a tactic to dominate the lives of God’s spiritually vulnerable children
Hence, the sole legitimate approach to terminating the devil’s influence within one’s family lineage involves authentic devotion to God, necessitating a superior force to dislodge an entrenched inferior spirit, with Generational Prophet of God Dr. Chris Okafor underscoring adherence to covenant principles as pivotal in transcending intergenerational curses
The midweek Prophetic Healing Deliverance and Solutions (PHDS) took place at the International Headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide, situated in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
