Afenifere Leader Blasts APC: “They Deceive, Manipulate Figures, and Conceal the Truth!”


The Leader of the Yoruba Socio-Cultural Organization, Afenifere, Oba Oladipo Olaitan, has taken a strong swipe at the All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing the ruling party of deceiving Nigerians and manipulating facts for political gain.

Speaking during an interview on Sunrise Daily on Channels Television, Olaitan said the APC has mastered the art of misleading the public.

“APC is good at what they know how to do — deceive people, manipulate figures, conceal issues. That’s their job, and they know how to do it,” he said.


He questioned whether Nigerians truly feel safe under the current administration, noting that insecurity and distrust have worsened.

Olaitan also revisited allegations that during the previous administration, foreign nationals — particularly from the Fulani ethnic group — were allegedly brought into Nigeria to disrupt peace and influence power.

“The last administration before the current one… just because they wanted to rule by hook or crook, they allegedly imported foreign nationals — Fulanis to be precise — to destroy the nation if they couldn’t get power,” he alleged.


The Afenifere leader further criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, recalling his campaign remark that it was “his turn” to rule Nigeria.

“If anybody has that type of mindset, nothing good can come out of him,” Olaitan stated. “When he said it was his turn, what that means is — it’s either me or nobody else.”

His comments have stirred conversations nationwide, reigniting debates about the credibility of the ruling party and the state of governance in Nigeria.

Inflation dropped to 20.1% from 24.5% earlier this year

Foreign investors are regaining confidence


He urged Nigerians to remain patient as reforms take root, praised Uzodimma’s leadership, and thanked Imo residents for their continued support.

Peter Obi Questions Govt’s Priorities Amid Remi Tinubu’s Birthday Donation Appeal
In a statement shared on his X handle, Obi congratulated Mrs. Tinubu on her birthday and commended her for urging well-wishers to donate toward the completion of the long-abandoned National Library in Abuja, rather than spend on celebratory cakes or newspaper adverts.

However, the former Anambra State governor noted that the appeal, though well-intentioned, was a stark indictment of the state of governance in Nigeria.
“What kind of country must beg for charity to build the very temple of knowledge?” Obi asked. “What kind of leaders waste trillions on luxury and vanity, while the National Library, our intellectual furnace, remains abandoned in the capital?”

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday heard a suit filed by the Osun State Government against the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF) over the handling of local government funds.

Justice Emeka Nwite presided as both parties made their appearances.

The Osun government accused the CBN and the AGF of plotting to divert allocations meant for local governments into private accounts allegedly managed by individuals impersonating government officials. According to the state, this violates Nigeria’s Constitution and public finance regulations.

The government further argued that the alleged move undermines ongoing Supreme Court cases on the control and management of local government funds in Osun State.

The dispute arises from political tensions between APC and PDP officials following conflicting court rulings on the validity of the October 2022 local government elections.

The case continues, with stakeholders closely watching its outcome due to its implications for financial transparency and constitutional governance in Nigeria.

Subsidy Savings Used for Nationwide Road Projects — Presidency.

President Bola Tinubu has disclosed that funds saved from the removal of fuel subsidy are being used to develop critical road infrastructure across Nigeria.

Speaking through the Minister of State for Finance, Doris Nkiruka Uzoka-Anite, at the opening of a National Conference on Public Accounts and Fiscal Governance in Abuja, Tinubu said the reallocation of subsidy funds also supports social safety programmes and targeted economic reforms.

The conference was organised by the Public Accounts Committees of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, with the theme: “Fiscal Governance in Nigeria: Charting a New Course for Transparency and Sustainable Development.”

President Tinubu reiterated that although the removal of fuel subsidy was a tough decision, it was essential to free up financial resources and redirect them toward projects that would benefit more Nigerians.

Also speaking at the event, Senate President Godswill Akpabio—represented by Senator Abdul Ningi—urged the Public Accounts Committees to enforce their constitutional mandate and address the growing disregard for legislative summons.

House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abass also raised concerns about Nigeria’s ongoing fiscal management challenges, revealing that over ₦300 billion flagged in audit reports remains unaccounted for.
