Nothing’ll Stop Tinubu’s Swearing In—Coalition
The Coalition of All Progressives Congress (APC) Support Groups has stated that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, swearing is unstoppable and sacrosanct.
Convener of the event, Niyi Adebayo stated this yesterday at the press conference, held in Abuja, adding that Tinubu is an unstoppable president-elect. He said, “Tinubu is the winner of the 2023 presidential election. We have all paid our dues for Asiwaju to be elected and we will not allow those who did not work for him to take over. We will make an impact in his government, we will be part of his administration.
“We the genuine support groups for Asiwaju, have now been subjected to intimidation and unwarranted humiliation by those who were initially against the emergency of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. “So all the support groups are now in the hands of those who do not want the progressive to lead this country even as Asiwaju stands for progressive. Some people initially were against but immediately they lost the primary election they regroup and today they are not with the ones in charge of all the support groups of our party.

Buhari didn’t initiate any project in Bayelsa – Diri
The Governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, said on Tuesday that the outgoing President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), did not initiate any new project in any part of the state throughout his eight years in office.
He stated this at the inauguration and handover ceremony of the Federal Secretariat Complex in Yenagoa, which is named after former President Goodluck Jonathan, whose administration started the project in 2011. Diri said, “While it is good that the Federal Government completed some of the projects started by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, we want to place it on record that for the past eight years, we never saw one new project in Bayelsa State.”
He pointed out that the Federal Government had witnessed first-hand the comparatively high cost of executing infrastructural projects in the state, stressing that the cost of constructing a kilometre of standard road in Bayelsa could be used to construct four or more kilometres of the same grade of road elsewhere in the country.
