Tinubu reviews clemency list, drops high-risk offenders, orders secretariat’s relocation

President Bola Tinubu has approved a revised list of individuals to benefit from his constitutional prerogative of mercy, granting pardons and sentence reductions to selected convicts. The review followed consultations with the Council of State and public criticism of the initial list released earlier in October. According to the Presidency, the review was conducted under Section 175(1) and (2) of the 1999 Constitution, which empowers the president to grant pardons and exercise clemency. Individuals convicted of serious crimes, including kidnapping, drug trafficking, human trafficking, fraud, and illegal possession of firearms, were removed from the list. Some offenders previously slated for pardon had their sentences reduced instead of being fully released. The Presidency said the review considered the seriousness of offences, impact on victims, national security concerns, and Nigeria’s international obligations. The final list has been sent to the Nigerian Correctional […]

 Nigeria’s Economy Grows But Poverty Still Rising – Report

A new economic report reveals a difficult reality for Nigeria: while the national economy is showing signs of recovery, the number of people living in poverty continues to increase. The report by Quartus Economics states that Nigeria's economy began to stabilize and grow in 2024. It credits this improvement to the "bold but necessary" reforms implemented by President Bola Tinubu in 2023, primarily the removal of the costly fuel subsidy. However, this economic growth has not yet translated into better living conditions for many citizens. The report highlights that the damage from the previous decade (2014-2023) was severe. During that time, the economy shrank significantly in dollar terms while the population grew by over 40 million people. This combination of a smaller economy and a larger population pushed an additional 65 million Nigerians below the poverty line. The report concludes […]

Senior Lawyer Agbakoba Backs Tinubu’s Removal of Service Chiefs

A prominent lawyer, Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has publicly supported President Bola Tinubu's decision to replace the country's service chiefs. In an interview on Channels Television, Agbakoba described the president's move as "wise and timely." This endorsement comes amidst public rumors of a suspected coup plot, though the military has denied these claims. President Tinubu announced a major reshuffle in the military's top leadership on Friday. The changes are part of an effort to strengthen Nigeria's security architecture. Agbakoba, a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), praised President Tinubu's decisiveness. He contrasted this with the previous administration, stating that former President Muhammadu Buhari was often reluctant to make such tough personnel changes. "You have a president who is prepared to take tough decisions," Agbakoba said. He added that if the coup rumors were true, then replacing the service chiefs […]

Northern Christian group urges US to reconsider Nigeria sanctions

The Northern Christian Youth Professionals (NCYP) has appealed to the United States government and its lawmakers, including Senator Ted Cruz, to reconsider the move to label Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged Christian persecution. In a statement on Wednesday, the group said that while it acknowledges the reality of Christian killings in parts of northern Nigeria, such a designation could harm ongoing national efforts to promote peace and unity. The NCYP warned that the proposed action, though well-intentioned, might undermine President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s initiatives aimed at fostering inclusivity and reconciliation across religious and ethnic lines. The group praised President Tinubu for appointing Christians, especially from northern Nigeria, to key administrative and security positions. According to the NCYP’s National Public Relations Officer, Christian Oda, this demonstrates the president’s commitment to fairness and national unity. “This conviction is […]

Tinubu’s Reforms Deepening Poverty, Says Peter Obi

Former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying its much-publicised economic reforms are failing to lift Nigerians out of poverty. Obi’s comments followed a World Bank report released on October 8, 2025, which revealed that 139 million Nigerians now live below the poverty line—an increase from 87 million in 2023. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Obi described the figures as a “heartbreaking reflection” of how poorly the government’s policies have performed. “What this means is that in two years under the watch of the APC regime, over 50 million Nigerians were sent into poverty,” Obi wrote.“This is a heartbreaking reflection of how deeply our nation is failing its citizens.” He expressed concern that instead of treating the report as a wake-up call, the government dismissed it, […]
