Q: Why did you leave Peter Obi few weeks to the presidential election? Yunusa Tanko: The group did not want me. You don't stay where you're being tolerated. You go to where you're being appreciated. I respect Peter Obi, but since they don't want me, people who want me picked me up from the dustbin and made me a bride. That's what happened.

The ability to import cheap South African wines doesn't make one a guru in economics. Peter Obi's performance as governor of Anambra State was at best mediocre, and he calls Lagos his home. That shows he's benefiting from the quality of leadership provided by President Tinubu in Lagos. - Vice President Shettima spoke today at the APC presidential campaign rally in Ondo State

I take exception to that nonsense. Don't you dare say that about me. Reward who? Reward who? That's a civil servant. She's a level 17 officer and has worked in INEC all of her life. She was Lagos State admin secretary – didn't Peter Obi win there in 2023? - Segun Showunmi angrily reacted to a journalist who asked him if his wife, Oluyemi Titilayo Adeyemi-Showunmi, was rewarded due to his inclusion in the APC campaign council, after INEC redeployed her from Lagos Admin Secretary to head Electoral Operations ahead of 2027 presidential election.

If we didn't take a decision on the day I took over, we would be using wheelbarrow to move our naira because it would have been valueless. You're talking of N1300 to a dollar. Huh, huh, it still has pocketable value. If we had left it, it would have been a wheelbarrow when you go to the tomato market. Going by history, I have been a comfortable man, I don't know the pain of the market, but I share your pain. I share the difficulty, and that's why I decided to take away the responsibility of school fees from parents through NELFUND. - President spoke at the State Dinner Reception organised by the Akwa Ibom State Government

This government doesn't express itself properly. It sees every suggestion and contribution it does not like as an attack, and it doesn't have good spokespersons. Let's look at the good side of the reforms. GDP in Q2 2026 was at 4.48%. It's not as high as it was under the Yar'Adua/Jonathan government, but during the Buhari years, the economy grew by 0.9%. Today it's at 4.5%. That's progress. Inflation is down from 30% to 14.6% and is projected to be 12.5% by the end of the year. That is progress. GDP per capita in dollar terms has gone up since 2023 by 47%. If we continue at this rate, by the end of next year, GDP per capita will be back to where it was in 2005. Our reserves are at $55 billion, and yes, a lot of it is driven by portfolio flows, which are volatile, but we are lucky that there is a war in the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices are high. Investors would like to stay in Nigeria because of that and the high returns, and therefore we get the portfolio flows. We are also making progress in terms of diversification. 20% of our exports are coming from the Dangote Refinery. There are clearly foundations being laid for stability. It's not the end, but the first step towards stability. I'm not a fan of politicians, but we need to give credit to President Tinubu's administration for bringing us back from the brink. — Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, speaking today at the Oxford Global Think Tank conference convened by Arunma Oteh.

I believe I'm talking to majority of the Christians here. My wife is a Pastor. She taught me in the Bible that once upon a time, there was Moses and Pharaoh. Pharaoh was a magician... - President Tinubu narrates the biblical story of Moses and the Pharaoh to his audience, using it to insist that Nigeria will not return to subsidy, just as Moses didn't return to Egypt.

Even though I've been asked by Pastor Paul Enenche not to campaign here, I already told him some weeks ago at the Idoma Hall of Fame event that I was coming to use it as an opportunity...even in the Church when he preaches, he talks about bad governance. That is politics. So, commissioning a project like this is not something we'll just come and thank God and go. No, it's not going to work. FCT Minister Nyesom Wike replies Pastor Paul Enenche

They claim state governors have more money, that the state governments have been collecting more money from the Federation Account. I’m not arguing with that. Yes, the quantum of the money, yes, we have more money, but has it translated to fighting hunger in our society? The answer is no. - APM Presidential Candidate Governor Seyi Makinde said Oyo State’s dependence on FAAC dropped from over 80% when he assumed office in 2019 to 65% by 2022, but later returned to almost 80% due to the removal of fuel subsidy by President Tinubu and his voodoo economics.
