@YusufMBuhari The people are blind. After you profited from the Forex arbitrage(allegedly )that ruined our economy . You are now posing as your people’s saviour… May Allah forgive you…
The former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, wanted to be president and they gave him a platform. When a crisis came in the LP and that was the time for him to show leadership, but he ran away.
– Wike at today's PDP National Convention
The same thing is about to happen in ADC. He about to run away again 😁😁😁
Exposed! Senator Ireti Kingibe Collected $65,000 For A Contract That Never Existed, Dragged To ICPC As Businessman Alleges She Used Her Office To Defraud Him
...She Refunded Only N50m Of N118m, Threatened To Arrest Victim When He Demanded His Balance
Senator Ireti Kingibe, the representative of the Federal Capital Territory in the 10th National Assembly, has been petitioned to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over allegations that she collected $65,000, equivalent to N118 million at the time, from a businessman to facilitate a Federal Government contract that the petitioner alleges never existed, subsequently denied receiving the money, then reluctantly refunded only N50 million, and allegedly threatened to have the businessman arrested when he insisted on recovering the outstanding N68 million balance.
The petition, dated April 27, 2026, was filed by lawyer Elochukwu Obi on behalf of his client, Mr. Nonso Okafor, and addressed to the office of the lCPC Chairman, requesting an urgent investigation to determine whether criminal infractions and abuse of public office have occurred, and seeking the recovery of the outstanding funds.
According to the petition, the arrangement began in October 2024 when Mr. Osereme Christian Omofoma, Senator Kingibe's Senior Legislative Aide, approached the businessman.
The SLA allegedly pleaded with Okafor "to help him raise $100,000 for the Senator to enable her to meet urgent financial needs," promising that the money would be repaid in full or, alternatively, that the senator would facilitate the award of Federal Government contracts to Okafor through
which he would recoup his money.
The petition stated that Okafor was initially reluctant to participate in the arrangement, "especially as he did not have the huge amount of money that was demanded at that time."
However, the SLA allegedly exerted "enormous pressure" on the businessman, who was eventually had to borrow from friends in order to meet up with the cash demand."
Okafor managed to raise $65,000 of the $100,000 initially demanded, borrowing the funds "at exorbitant interest rates," a detail that underscores the financial strain the arrangement placed on the businessman even before the alleged fraud was discovered.
The petition stated that the $65,000 was paid to Senator Kingibe in two tranches in October 2024. The businessman was told that the promised contract award would materialise within a few weeks of payment.
"After the payment, our client futilely waited far beyond the envisaged timeframe for the promised contracts, but nothing
materialised" the petition stated.
After several months of waiting, the petition alleged, "it dawned on our client that there was no contract for him and that he had simply been misled!"
At this point, Okafor began requesting a refund of his money.
When the businessman sought his money back, the senator's response, according to the petition, shifted from evasiveness to outright denial.
"The Senator not only refused to refund the money, but she also began to actively claim that she did not receive any money from our client" the petition stated.
The denial, if accurate, represents a significant escalation, as it would mean the senator was not merely failing to fulfil a
promise but was denying the existence of the transaction itself, despite the businessman having records of the
Unable to communicate directly with the senator after being cut off, Okafor continued to press for his refund through
the SLA, Omofoma.
When Okafor expressed his determination to involve law enforcement, the response from the senator's side shifted again.
"Upon our client's expression of his determination to get the law enforcement involved in the matter, they reluctantly decided to unilaterally pay only N50,000,000 out of the total $65,000 (N118,000,000)" the petition stated.
This payment was made in May 2025.
PRESS STATEMENT: ODUDUWA HALL NOT AVAILABLE FOR PETER OBI’s LECTURE — OAU
The authorities of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, wish to clarify the circumstances surrounding the proposed lecture by His Excellency, Peter Obi, at the University.
The general public is hereby informed that a particular group within the Students’ body extended an invitation to the former Presidential Candidate and two-term Governor of Anambra State to deliver a lecture within the University premises.
The University authorities were not duly informed of the status and calibre of the invited guest until Friday, just a day before the scheduled programme.
It is important to note that events involving high-profile personalities of such standing require adequate prior notification to the University authorities because it will enable the institution to make necessary logistical and security arrangements, including proper liaison with relevant security agencies such as the Nigeria Police and the Department of State Services (DSS), in order to ensure the safety of the guest, members of the University community and the general public.
Consequently, given the short notice and the attendant inability to complete these critical arrangements, the University authorities could not approve the use of Oduduwa Hall for the event as requested by the organisers.
The decision was taken purely in the interest of safety, orderliness and adherence to established protocols governing the use of University facilities, adding that it is not, in any way, a reflection of disregard for the person or status of His Excellency, Peter Obi, whom the University holds in high esteem.
The Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Adebayo Simeon Bamire is, and remains committed to supporting intellectual engagements and hosting distinguished personalities, provided that due process is followed and adequate notice is given.
Members of the University community, students and the general public are therefore enjoined to always comply with laid-down procedures in planning events within the University because we all are partners in progress for the overall development of the University.
Those of you dragging this gentleman online should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves.
If I may ask, what exactly did he do to deserve these utterly ridiculous, image-tarnishing statements? The last time I checked, he has never served in any public capacity to warrant this kind of nauseating judgement. Only his father did.
Even during his father's presidency, I cannot recall a single account of him interfering in the affairs of state. So what, precisely, is his offence?
This gentleman is, first and foremost, a Nigerian citizen, with every right to vote and to be voted for.
You may continue to drag the late President Buhari even in death, because he chose to serve Nigeria in his lifetime. But extending that hostility to a son who has never offended you in any way is perhaps the most foolish thing one could do. Only a fool does that. - Anthony Oyolola
At least tomorrow, when Seyi Tinubu decides to contest for office, there will be many people across the SouthWest who can testify to the jobs & opportunities he got for them.
But what can be said about @YusufMBuhari in the NorthWest during the 8years his father led this country?
@ishaqsamaila5 If it was collapsing why didn’t you criticize the then government? Why is it comfortable to say that now? These guys should stop this silly defense and get to work and alleviate the suffering of the poor…
“Let’s be honest—Nigeria’s economy was already collapsing before Tinubu took over.
Today’s reforms are tough, but necessary to fix years of damage.
Leadership isn’t about comfort—it’s about courage.”

You have fight with someone, people are insulting your father and your friend came out and said here leave his father if you have beef with Seun talk to Seun directly.
Now you’re saying why will he tell them not to abuse your father but abuse you directly. What type of friend is that.
I’m actually confused about Seun sincerely.
❝I go deal with una... Even VDM said this shii - VDM say no insult Fela, insult Seun. What kind of friend will say people should go and insult his friend? Sowore never sleep my house, but VDM don sleep my house. I have known Sowore longer than VDM has been alive.❞

@JohnFanimokun lol when someone wanted to remove subsidy over a decade ago him and his selfish supporters protested against it. If we had gone through that phase we would be witnessing better times now. All this YES men amaze me
"You may abuse Tinubu all you want it is your problem, but he is doing things that governments before him didn't have the political will and the courage to do. E.g the Coastal highway and the Sokoto-Badagary highway. It is Bola Tinubu that is doing it now and you say he has not achieved anything. People are more interested in negativity than the undoubted relief that that road is going to give to our people." — Babajide Kolade-Otitoju
