GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY Good day, Mr President. I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office. I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target. Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world. Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government. The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

SALVATION MINISTRIES: CELEBRATING FAITH, VISION AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF GOD’S WORK Following several meetings and engagements in Abuja yesterday, I travelled to Lagos in the evening to continue with additional meetings. Early this morning, I journeyed from Lagos to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, to attend the dedication service for the newly completed Global Headquarters and Cathedral of Salvation Ministries, under the leadership of Senior Pastor David Ibiyeomie, a respected man of God and prominent Christian leader. The ceremony was a significant celebration of faith, worship and gratitude. I was especially struck by the vision, magnitude and architectural excellence of the new cathedral, which can accommodate more than 100,000 worshippers. This achievement represents a major milestone for the ministry and reflects the dedication, commitment and perseverance necessary to realise such an ambitious vision. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Pastor David Ibiyeomie, his wife and the entire team on this outstanding accomplishment. I also commend the Salvation Ministries family for its steadfast commitment to spreading the Gospel of Christ. -PO
