Tinubu cries out:’ enemies are trying to set me against Buhari’
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has raised the alarm over a plot by
some people to pit him against President Muhammadu
Buhari.
Tinubu said this in a statement by his media office while
responding to a report by an online medium.
The medium had claimed that Tinubu accused Buhari of
moving against the party by helping Senator Bukola
Saraki to emerge as Senate President.
However, Tinubu said he had never made a public
statement about the National Assembly since Saraki and
Yakubu Dogara emerged as Senate President and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively.
The former governor of Lagos State said he could never
insult the President or castigate a government that he
helped to form.
The statement read, “The story first published on an
online news site and later parroted by other online news
outlet is an example of irresponsible journalism. This
story has no source. It is a blatant fabrication to serve
the interest of its sponsors. Tinubu has not spoken about
the Senate election. This story is a perverse fiction. Not
journalism.
“He has never said these lies so wrongly attributed to
him. There is no chance he will ever utter such words
against President Buhari, a man he worked very hard for
to become President, along with millions of Nigerians who
voted. Tinubu would not accuse the President of plotting
his own injury. If anything, he is alarmed by how this may
impair the government’s substantive reform agenda.
“It is a mischievous attempt to drive a wedge between
Tinubu and Buhari. There is no need to try to put words
in Tinubu’s mouth. He will talk when and if it is
necessary. His major preoccupation now is how
Nigerians can support President Buhari and his
administration to achieve the reform and change
promised during the election.”
Tinubu’s media aide, Mr. Sunday Dare, also denied
reports that Saraki visited Tinubu in Lagos recently.
Dare said Tinubu had been in France since last week and
was going to London before returning to Nigeria. He,
therefore, stated that it was impossible for Tinubu to be in
two places at once.
He said, “The story about Senator Saraki visiting Bola
Tinubu at his home in Lagos is a total fabrication. It’s a
lie. During the time alleged in the story, Asiwaju Tinubu
was overseas in France to condole a family friend. Thus
it’s physically impossible for Tinubu to have received
anybody at his home in Lagos.”
In a separate statement, a group, the Patriotic Northern
Coalition for Justice, Peace and Equity has advised the
APC to be wary of some politicians within the party
plotting to undermine and marginalise Tinubu.
The national coordinator of the coalition, Alhaji
Babangida Sule, said Tinubu remains the leader of the
party and a force to reckon with in the South-West.
Sule warned that any attempt to marginalise Tinubu
could destroy the party.
He said, “Politicians are already strategising for 2019 and
they will stop at nothing to achieve their aim. Some of
them are in the APC and we have discovered that part of
their aims is to undermine the party’s chieftain, Bola
Ahmed Tinubu, because they see him as a stumbling
block.
“But we the Patriotic Northern Coalition won’t allow them
because we are still grateful to Tinubu for what he did for
the North in the 2015 general election.”

PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES OTEGA OGRA ON ELECTION TO WORLD FEDERATION OF ADVERTISERS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES OTEGA OGRA ON ELECTION TO WORLD FEDERATION OF ADVERTISERS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated his Senior Special Assistant on Digital Engagement, Strategy and New Media, Mr Otega Ogra, on his election to the Executive Committee of the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA).
The election took place today at the organisation’s Annual General Meeting, held during the Global Marketing Week Conference in Stockholm, Sweden.
President Tinubu described the development as a significant step for Nigeria’s growing influence in global communications.
He noted that Mr Ogra’s emergence as the only representative from West Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa on the Executive Committee reflects the depth of Nigerian expertise and the contribution of a new generation of young Nigerian professionals to global industry standards.
Mr Ogra was elected to the Executive Committee on the platform of the Advertisers Association of Nigeria (ADVAN), underscoring the role of Nigeria’s organised advertising and marketing industry in shaping representation at the global level.
The WFA is the leading global body for advertisers, representing over 150 multinational and Fortune 500 companies, alongside national advertiser associations across more than 60 countries, with a combined annual marketing spend running into hundreds of billions of dollars. Its Executive Committee is the organisation’s highest decision-making body, responsible for setting priorities and guiding global policy on responsible advertising, media transparency, sustainability, and the evolution of digital ecosystems.
President Tinubu noted that Mr Ogra’s election is both a personal distinction and a strategic opportunity for Nigeria and the African continent, placing them at the centre of global conversations on brand trust, platform accountability, innovation and the future of marketing and communications.
The President commended Mr Ogra, who also serves as Vice President of ADVAN, for his sustained contributions to strengthening Nigeria’s marketing and communications ecosystem, drawing on a career spanning leadership roles across the banking, manufacturing, and public sectors.
“Otega’s election reflects the growing recognition of Nigerian expertise and affirms our capacity to contribute meaningfully to the frameworks shaping global markets,” the President said.
President Tinubu added that the achievement aligns with his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, particularly in advancing the creative economy, strengthening digital governance, and positioning Nigeria as a competitive hub for innovation and enterprise.
Josh Faulks, CEO of the Australian advertiser association (AANA), and Simon Michaelides, Director General of the UK advertiser association (ISBA), also join the leadership team.
Current members of the executive committee, David Wheldon, President and Philip Myers, Deputy President, who is also the Chief Institutional Affairs and Corporate Communications Officer at Ferrero, continue in their current roles, as do all regional vice presidents.

PRESS STATEMENT
For Immediate Release
NASRE RAISES ALARM OVER ALLEGED THREAT BY PETER OKOYE (MR P) AGAINST BAYO ADETU IN COURT, WARNS OF CONSEQUENCES
The leadership of the Nigerian Association of Social and Resourceful Editors (NASRE), led by Comrade Femi Oyewale, expresses concern over an alleged threat issued by popular Afrobeat artist Peter Okoye, widely known as Mr P, against journalist and NASRE Directorate member, Mr Bayo Adetu.
The incident reportedly occurred at the Ikoyi High Court during proceedings in the ongoing legal dispute involving the music duo P-Square and their elder brother, Jude Okoye. Eyewitnesses present in court stated that Mr Peter Okoye drew the attention of Justice Alexander Owoeye to Mr Adetu’s presence, noting that he was formerly P-Square’s publicist but now works with his brothers. The remark reportedly generated reactions in the courtroom.
It is further alleged that after the court session, Mr Peter Okoye confronted Mr Adetu in the presence of others and said, “You, Bayo, I will set you up.”
NASRE views this alleged statement as inappropriate and unacceptable. Any language suggesting harm or intimidation directed at a journalist performing lawful duties raises serious concerns regarding press freedom, safety, and professional ethics.
We state unequivocally that should anything happen to Mr Bayo Adetu or any member of his family, Mr Peter Okoye will be held accountable. Such statements, when directed at a media professional, are taken with utmost seriousness.
NASRE will not tolerate any form of intimidation, harassment, or threat against its members. We are fully prepared to activate all lawful media and legal channels to protect our members and safeguard the integrity of the profession. Mr Peter Okoye must be aware that utterances of this nature carry consequences and he will be held responsible for any outcome arising from this matter.
We therefore call on Mr Peter Okoye to retract the alleged statement and issue a public apology to Mr Bayo Adetu. We also urge all parties involved in the ongoing matter to conduct themselves with restraint, respect, and strict adherence to the rule of law.
The safety of journalists remains paramount, and the media will not be silenced.
