TINUBU’S 2027 CAMPAIGN COUNCIL: A POLITICAL REHABILITATION CENTRE FOR THE TAINTED AND A DECONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC SERVICE NEUTRALITY

Aare AmerijoyeAugust 24, 2026

There is something profoundly disturbing about the composition of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 Presidential Campaign Council. At first glance, it is simply an electoral machine: 286 names, dozens of directorates, zonal coordinators, ministers, governors, legislators, technocrats, former office holders and political operatives assembled to prosecute the President’s re-election campaign. But look closer and another...

TINUBU’S PRETENTIOUS TOKENISM TO RESTRUCTURING AND THE TIGHTENING NOOSE AGAINST FISCAL FEDERALISM

Aare AmerijoyeAugust 24, 2026

There is something almost theatrical about the Tinubu administration’s claim to be quietly restructuring Nigeria. It is the politics of tokenism masquerading as transformation: create regional development commissions, rename institutions, inaugurate boards, issue grand speeches about regional integration and then invite a gullible public to applaud what is essentially bureaucratic multiplication without a coherent philosophy...

APC’s 2027 CAMPAIGN COUNCIL: A PORTRAIT OF A GOVERNMENT LOSING ITS MORAL COMPASS.

Aare AmerijoyeAugust 23, 2026

The APC’s 2027 Presidential Campaign Council should not be dismissed as another routine list of political appointees and campaign operatives. It is a political document, a revealing portrait of the values, priorities, sensitivities and political calculations of the government seeking another mandate. And on that score, its composition deserves the most searching public scrutiny. At...

ROTUS ODIRRI, STOP DELUDING OUR EARS

Aare AmerijoyeAugust 22, 2026

TINUBU’S SUBSIDY REMOVAL IS NOT WORKING, AND ATIKU’S RELIEF IS NOT POPULISM Aare Amerijoye DOT.B Night after night, Rotus Odirri climbs onto ARISE television and pours the same anaesthetic into the national ear. Subsidy removal is working, he chants. Atiku’s promise of relief, he sneers, is populism. It is a smooth performance. It is also...

ATIKU’S PETROLEUM INDUSTRY POLICY: WHEN THE FACTS CHANGE, ECONOMIC POLICY MUST CHANGE.

Aare AmerijoyeAugust 22, 2026

There is something particularly puerile about the argument that Atiku Abubakar cannot legitimately propose a different petroleum-policy framework in 2026 because he advocated subsidy reform before 2023. That argument misunderstands both economics and history. Economic analysis rests heavily on the principle of ceteris paribus—other relevant conditions remaining equal. But the relevant conditions in Nigeria’s petroleum...

ATIKU TO TINUBU: YOU’RE THE IGNORAMUS IF YOU THINK SUFFERING IS ECONOMIC POLICY Says Tinubu removed subsidy, retained the racket and handed Nigerians the bill Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has fired back at President Bola Tinubu, describing his attack on Atiku’s proposed petroleum-sector intervention as the insolent sermon of a failed economic experimenter who...

WHEN POLITICAL RIVALRY OVERSHADOWS A DEBT OF GRATITUDE.

Aare AmerijoyeAugust 21, 2026

A statement attributed to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar about Chief Olusegun Obasanjo raises profound questions about friendship, political rivalry, loyalty and the complicated nature of Nigerian politics. According to Atiku, he once intervened to save Obasanjo’s life while both men were facing difficult circumstances under the Sani Abacha military regime, yet years later, their...

Subsidizing Production, Not Consumption: Shedding Light on Atiku’s Fuel Policy Proposal

Aare AmerijoyeAugust 21, 2026

By Kunle Oshobi When Atiku Abubakar recently indicated that a subsidy would return under his administration, the announcement was, predictably, met with a mixture of alarm and relief, alarm from those who remember the fiscal drain of the old subsidy regime, and relief from Nigerians still adjusting to the cost of PMS at market price....

YOU DO NOT DEFEAT POVERTY BY EMPOWERING CARTELS. WE CANNOT SOLVE ONE CRISIS BY DEEPENING ANOTHER. APC IS ONLY POPULAR AMONG THE POLITICIANS, NOT THE SUFFERING NIGERIAN MASSES.

Aare AmerijoyeAugust 21, 2026

Aare Amerijoye DOT.B Two men have risen to answer Atiku Abubakar. Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, and Usman Buhari Ali of the Leadership and Transparency Network in Nigeria, both insist that Nigerians deserve to see the numbers behind Atiku’s promise on petrol subsidy. On that narrow point they...

THE FGN FALLACY OF “NO ALTERNATIVE”: NIGERIA NEEDED ECONOMIC REFORM, NOT ECONOMIC SHOCK THERAPY

Aare AmerijoyeAugust 21, 2026

The argument that Nigeria had no alternative whatsoever in 2023 but to simultaneously abolish petrol subsidy and effectively float the naira is clever advocacy, but it is not serious economics. It confuses the existence of a fiscal crisis with the proposition that one particular method of treating that crisis was the only possible treatment. Yes,...
