TINUBU REPLICATES OBASANJO’S RASCALITY ON STATE ALLOCATION SEIZURE!

On Friday, December 20, 2004, the Supreme Court of Nigeria which is the Apex Court in this country and which also has original jurisdiction to adjudicate on all matters between the Federal Government and any of the state governments and vice versa, delivered a judgment in favour of the Lagos State government in Suit No. SC. 70/2004 between the Attorney-General of Lagos State and Attorney-General of the Federation.

It was a full panel of the Apex Court, presided over by no less an outstanding jurist than the Honourable Justice Muhammadu Lawal Uwais, Chief Justice of Nigeria.

Lagos State government with Governor Alhaji Bola Tinubu at the helm of affairs briefed a team of lawyers under the leadership of the late legal icon, Chief F.R.A. Williams, SAN, the Attorney-General of Lagos State and challenge the action of the Federal Government at the Supreme Court.

 

 Each of the Justices of the Supreme Court unequivocally held that the President does not have the power or vested with the jurisdiction to order the withholding or suspension of any payment of allocation from the Federation Accounts to local governments councils or to state governments on behalf of the local government councils as provided by section 162 (3) of the 1999 Constitution.

 

EXCEPTS OF JUDGMENT AS REPORTED IN (2004) 18 NWLR (PT. 904) 1.

 

At page 91, paragraphs E – H to page 92, paragraphs A – B of the report, the Chief Justice of Nigeria enthused in a very clear and lucid manner that: “Mr. President does not have the power which he claimed to have exercised in his letter to the Finance Minister.”

At page 99 paragraphs (C – D), Kutigi, JSC. opined thus:

“It appears to me that nowhere in the Constitution is the President expressly or impliedly authorized to suspend or withhold the statutory allocation payable to Lagos State pursuant to section 162(5) of the constitution on the ground of the complaints made by the Federal Government in this action or any ground at all.

“If the President has any grievance with any tier of government, he should go to court. He cannot kill them by withholding their statutory allocations. That will be brutal indeed.”

At pages 110 -11 paragraphs G – Uwaifo, J.S.C., held that: “It does not appear to me that there is any power conferred on the President to decide to withhold any allocation on the basis of a conceived breach of the constitution by any of the three tiers.

“It seems to me also that the allocation principle of funds to local government councils in each state is such that the amount payable does not increase simply because a House of Assembly has created more local government areas in the state. To take that into account will simply encourage the proliferation of local government areas for the main aim of earning more revenue. That cannot be right or equitable.”

 

WHY HAS TINUBU WITHHELD OSUN STATE REVENUE ALLOCATION?

 

 Review of a document released by the Office of the Accountant General shows that the total amount yet to be released to the state government stands at ₦46.9 billion as at June 2025.

The stalemate is linked to the controversy in Osun State over who the authentic local government chairmen were – whether of the former APC Administration or the new PDP of Governor Ademola Adeleke!

In March, the State was expected to receive ₦11.9 billion; the amounts for April, May, and June were ₦11.2 billion, ₦11.7 billion, and ₦12.1 billion, respectively.

BU reports have it that the Federal Government had withheld Osun State’s local government allocations since March 2025 due to the Tinubu administration’s insistence that only APC-recognized local government chairmen be acknowledged in the state.

It was gathered that following the alleged “controversial” local government election conducted by the Governor Ademola Adeleke-led administration—which displeased the Federal Government - the allocations meant for the state’s LGAs were subsequently suspended by the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation.

Reports revealed that during the Presidential intervention, the APC-recognized chairmen, with support from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in Osogbo, attempted to open LGA Accounts without the State Government’s input but was blocked by the Osun State government.

A Local Government source has disclosed that their allocations in the state had been withheld for four months as at June 2025. Tinubu is aware that he has neither moral or constitutional justification to withhold any State’s fiscal Allocations because he fought against the anomaly in 2004 and WON AT THE SUPREME COURT

TINUBU’S BRAGADDO DURING 2023 ELECTION CAMPAIGNS!

 

THE presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu in Benin City, Edo State said the seizure of the revenue of Lagos State by former president, Olusegun Obasanjo triggered his intellectual capacity and those of his lieutenants to make Lagos what it is today and therefore, appealed to Nigerians to vote for him, assuring that he will bring prosperity, create jobs and secure Nigerians if elected. (6^th January 2023).

 “Trust me, I am an expert in finding the way where there is no way. I found a way to tame the Atlantic ocean and turned it into a money-making machine. I found a way to stop the killing drainages to channelization and prosperity. I have done many things. I have the power of thinking and doing.”

“Obasanjo seized our salaries, local government monies. Do you call that person a good or a wicked man? So, if he says he endorsed somebody, is it not poison that he is giving to you? One who doesn’t know the way cannot show the way. He is endorsing Obi (Peter) but he doesn’t know the road,” he said. 

 

ADELEKE’S DYNASTY NOW PAYS OSUN STATE WORKERS!

 

A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, has revealed that Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, and his family, including music star David Adeleke (popularly known as Davido), personally funded the payment of workers’ salaries in the state for several months due to withheld local government allocations.

George made the disclosure during an interview on Nigeria FM Info on Saturday, August 16, 2025, while addressing speculations about Governor Adeleke’s alleged plans to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

When asked about the governor’s political direction, George said: “I had had an in-depth discussion with him, and the first time we spoke, he called me and informed me that he would be leaving the party. I was hell-shocked, and I said to him, Your Excellency, please think very carefully. And deeply, too.

Pressed further on whether the governor and his family truly paid workers from their personal resources, George replied: “Yeah. For the last five, six months. They haven’t received a single drop although the Court ruled in their favor”!

George revealed that during the last National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the PDP, Governor Adeleke reaffirmed his loyalty to the party.

“And he came to me. He said, Baba, thank you, sir. I am not leaving this party. So I held him,” George recounted.

 

TINUBU MUST BACK-PEDAL NOW AND GIVE ONTO OSUN WHAT BELONGS TO OSUN!

 

Eight days before he embarked on another international jamboree to Japan and Brazil on Friday 15^th August 2025, speculation was rife that Alhaji Tinubu was indisposed and could not attend several State functions!

But as usual, his spokespersons dismissed the assertion and claimed that he worked from home and it was usual to delegate his Vice to represent him when necessary.

On Friday, President BAT emerged from his cocoon and boarded the controversial USD$100 million dollar jet purchased amidst exceeding poverty/suffering /pain in the land and departed into thin air!

When will he return? Possibly when he has borrowed more money to maintain Presidential status quo!

The State House eventually disclosed that President Bola Tinubu arrived in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, FOR A BRIEF STOPOVER on his way to a two-nation working visit to Japan and Brazil.

At Yokohama, Japan, he will attend the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) from 20^th – 22th August 2025.

The Conference themed, “Co-create Innovative Solutions with Africa,” will explore strategies to drive Africa’s economic transformation, attract private investment, and build a resilient and sustainable continent anchored on peace and human security.

After Japan, Tinubu will proceed to Brazil for the second leg of his working visit.

The timeline of the Japan holiday was unspecified!

 

TINUBU CAN NEVER HAVE PEACE UNTIL HE DOES THE WILL OF GOD AND THE PEOPLE! WILLY NILLY HE MUST RELEASE OSUN’S FUNDS AND BEGIN THE PROCESS TO A PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA!

FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL WAS TASKMASTER’S INSURANCE FOR TWO TERMS!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria.  {Vol. 14. NO 616 10^th August 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL WAS TASKMASTER’S INSURANCE FOR TWO TERMS!

Item ten of Tinubu’s Manifesto during the 2023 Presidential Campaign emphatically emphasized priority to, “establish a bold and assertive policy that will create a strong yet adaptive national security architecture and action to obliterate terror, kidnapping, banditry, and all other forms of violent extremism from the face of our nation.”

Fifteen months into office INSECURITY ESCALATED in outrageous proportions and over 10.000 people were killed, larger numbers injured while multiple thousands are languishing in Internally Displaced Camps across the country!

 

The escalation of insecurity is traceable to the deliberate removal of fuel subsidy on 29^th May 2023, by the Judiciary -proclaimed winner with the clandestine aim of:

 

1)    SECURING SURE SUPPLY OF MONIES FROM SUBSIDY SAVINGS TO BRIBE STATE GOVERNORS AND ENSURE THEIR UNALLOYED SUPPORT FOR A SECOND TERM!

2)    ALSO TO LURE MASSES SUPPORT THROUGH REGULAR DONATIONS IN TIMES OF REGULAR DISASTERS WHICH WERE FALLOUTS OF THE SUBSIDY REMOVAL – NOT HINGED ON ANY FORM OF PALLIATIVE STRUCTURES!

3)    TINUBU IS ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL AND IT IS VERY UNACCEPTABLE!

The strategy of Alhaji was akin to that of the Egyptian Task Master who squeezed sweat and blood out of unfortunate Israeli Captives to build his Empire! (Exodus 5:6-9).

In the Bible, particularly in the book of Exodus, “taskmasters” refer to Egyptian officials appointed by Pharaoh to oppress the Israelites through forced labor.

They were responsible for ensuring the Israelites met their quotas in building projects, such as the cities of Pithom and Rameses and their harsh treatment and excessive demands contributed significantly to the Israelites’ suffering and their cries for deliverance.

 

BOLA TINUBU’S POLITICAL GAME PLAN IS IDENTICAL TO PHARAOH’S WHO MUST KEEP THE PEOPLE IN SERVITUDE TO PERPETUATE AUTHORITY!

1)    He has been an active politician as Executive Governor of Lagos State (1999-2007), the ruling All Progressives Congress Leader (2015-2023), and now Executive President of Nigeria (2023-2025) – positions that gave him absolute administrative knowledge for positive governance.

2)    As an acclaimed “CHICAGO ACCOUNTANT”, he held sway over the Lagos State’s Economy through a massive TAX REGIME in spite of President Obasanjo’s 3-year-blockage of his State’s Federal Revenue Allocations.

3)    He has now  applied the same strategy as President through  a cleverly – manipulated FOUR PRESIDENTIAL TAX REFORM BILLS TO BE FORCED ON THE MASSES – effective from 1^st January 2026 – in spite of massive objections!

4)    In the meantime, Alhaji and his Wife Remi Tinubu have been deceiving the entire Citizenry through their manipulative RENEWED HOPE AGENDA DONATIONS OF FUEL SUBSIDY SAVINGS IN TRILLIONS OF NAIRA!

5)    AND IN ADDITION TO THE SUBSIDY SAVINGS INLAND REVENUE TASKMASTERS WILL SWING INTO OPERATION FROM JANUARY 2026 TO ENFORCE THE NEW TAX REGIME AND ENSURE THAT THERE WOULD BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FUNDS (FROM THE SWEAT AND BLOOD OF THE DOWNTRODDEN), FOR HIM TO BULLDOZE HIS WAY INTO A SECOND TERM!

6)    ALTHOUGH HE PERSONALLY DISCLOSED THAT A WHOOPING SUM OF ONE TRILLION NAIRA WOULD BE SAVED MONTHLY FROM THE SUBSIDY REMOVAL, HE HAS NEITHER GIVEN ACCOUNT OF DISBURSEMENT NOR MONTHLY BALANCE OF THE SAVINGS!

7)     MINISTER OF AVIATION AND AEROSPACE, FESTUS KEYAMO RECENTLY DISCLOSED THAT THE SUM OF NGN712 BILLION NAIRA FROM THE SUBSIDY SAVINGS WOULD BE DISBURSED TO RE-BUILD LAGOS AIRPORT! (Maybe he is the Treasurer of the Special Account which Mr. President has kept secret since June 2023)!

8)     THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SUBSIDY SAVINGS FROM JUNE 2023-AUGUST 2025, SHOULD BE NGN14 TRILLION NAIRA! THIS AMOUNT COUPLED WITH INTENSIVE INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUES (IGRS), DEVOID OF INSTITUTIONAL EXTRAVAGANT EXPENDITURES, SHOULD KEEP THE COUNTRY AFLOAT UNTIL A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM IS ESTABLISHED!

 

QUESTION: Was it not high time Alhaji rendered account of stewardship of the Subsidy Savings and STOP EMBARRASSING NIGERIANS WITH FOREIGN & LOCAL BORROWINGS?

 

COMMENTS:

*Two years as President, Tinubu’s policies have set Nigerians back into the abyss of pain, agony, poverty, catastrophic insecurity and seething anger among a population that has been pushed beyond its limits!

*In spite of the fact that he was knowledgeable of the agony of poverty in the land and the gargantuan insecurity across the nation, he stubbornly refused to introduce the ONE HOUSE (UNICAMERAL) PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THAT WOULD HAVE DOUSED INSECURITY FROM THE ONSET!

* He totally forgot that he aggressively demanded to become President through his political jingle of “Emi lokan” (meaning it’s my turn), but has showed his true color of Pharaoh Oppression by arbitrarily removing THE FUEL SUBSIDY on his inauguration day without a Cabinet in place!

The primary role of the EGYPTIAN TASKMASTER’S was to enforce the will of Pharaoh by imposing heavy labor quotas on the Israelites. They were tasked with making the Israelites work harder, even when they were deprived of essential materials like straw for brick-making!

The Book of Exodus 5:6-9 details how Pharaoh appointed taskmasters to “afflict them with burdens” and how the taskmasters increased their workload by demanding the same number of bricks despite the lack of straw.

PLEASE FIND BELOW EXTRACTS FROM THE PUNCH EDITORIAL BOARD OPINION OF 9^TH JULY 2025, WHICH BUTTRESSES OUR ASSERTIONS!

Title: “Fuel Subsidy Windfall without Impact.”

 

“When President Bola Tinubu ended the fuel subsidy during his inauguration on May 29, 2023, it was hailed as a bold and necessary step toward fiscal reform.

“The move promised to free trillions of naira from an unsustainable subsidy regime, redirecting these funds to critical sectors such as infrastructure, education, and healthcare that have long suffered neglect.

“Nigerians were assured that this sacrifice would translate into real, tangible improvements in their daily lives.

“Yet, two years on, this promise remains largely unfulfilled. Despite a historic surge in government revenues, the average Nigerian has yet to feel the benefits.

“In 2024, the Federation Account Allocation Committee distributed N28.78 trillion to the three tiers of government, representing a 79 per cent increase from the previous year. This was mainly due to the removal of fuel subsidies and adjustments in exchange rate policies.

“State governments saw their allocations jump by 45.5 per cent to N5.22 trillion. Even as recently as May 2025, monthly distributions exceeded N1.6 trillion, marking a 72 per cent increase compared to the same period two years earlier.

“Such an influx of funds should have offered a once-in-a-generation opportunity for states to reset their development priorities and invest in the foundations of growth.

“Instead, Nigerians continue to grapple with dilapidated infrastructure, underfunded schools, inadequate healthcare, and a worsening poverty crisis.

“According to a joint report by the World Bank and Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics, over 129 million Nigerians now live below the poverty line, an increase of 25 million in just one year.

“The World Economic Forum’s 2024 rankings place Nigeria 130^th out of 141 countries in infrastructure quality, underscoring the yawning gap between resources and results.”

 

AND YET NIGERIA REMAINS A DEBTOR NATION!

 

Nigeria’s total public debt rose to N149.39tn as of March 31, 2025, marking a year-on-year increase of N27.72tn or 22.8 per cent compared to the N121.67tn recorded in the corresponding period of 2024.

The figure, released by the Debt Management Office on 8^th August 2025, also reflects a quarter-on-quarter increase of N4.72tn or 3.3 per cent from N144.67tn as at December 31, 2024.

The persistent rise in debt stock is attributed to new borrowings by the Federal Government and the depreciation of the naira, which inflated the local currency value of external loans.

 

UBA SANI’S CAMARADERIE WITH TINUBU BECAUSE OF SUBSIDY MONEY!

 

Media Reports confirmed Uba Sani’s unalloyed loyalty and endorsement for continuity of TINUBU in 2027 whom he claimed bailed his State out of bankruptcy through “large sums of money he appropriated in over two years to revamp the economy, improve the security architecture and re-develop Kaduna State!”

He says “Tinubu is the first Nigerian leader to offer true and direct support to sub-national governments, especially in the wake of economic hardship triggered by fuel subsidy removal”!

 

MRS. ONE BILLION NAIRA DONOR!

 

Wife of the President, Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, has donated N12.9 billion in two years as “humanitarian gesture” to mitigate the hardship and sufferings which her husband inflicted on over 200 million Citizens of Nigeria since 29^th May 2023 through an arbitrary fuel subsidy removal!

Her so-called philanthropy and humanitarian donations which were carried out under the platform of her pet project, the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), or in her personal capacity NO DOUBT AMOUNTS TO LOCKING A GATE WHEN THE ANIMALS HAVE BOLTED!

Let us imagine that fuel subsidy was not removed and Alhaji Tinubu who claimed to be part of the JUNE 12 ACTIVISM at inauguration declared that he would begin the process of changing his government into the ONE HOUSE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM, Nigeria’s Economy would have become exceedingly buoyant and insecurity would have been at its minimal!

NOT GOVERNMENT MONEY!

Mrs Tinubu has consistently said that the funds are not from government coffers but are sourced through her Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI).

QUESTION: Are Donors to Remi’s RHI not her husband’s contractors/cronies?

 

“OFFICE OF THE FIRST LADY HAS NO CONSTITUTIONAL  ALLOCATION.

 

 Remi may claim that her pet project was a personal venture but she is a public figure therefore subject to SCRUTINY AND ACCOUNTABILITY!

“God cannot be deceived, whatever a man sows, that he shall reap…..” (Galatians 6:7-9).

IGBO'S DESERVE A BETTER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE THAN PETER GREGORY OBI!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.

 

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria. {Vol. 14. NO 615 3rd August 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 IGBO'S DESERVE A BETTER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE THAN PETER GREGORY OBI!

The Nigeria Labor Party Presidential Candidate at the 2023 election, Peter Obi, should not be considered as a serious representative of the Igbo Race considering his political antecedents and his current disposition of jumping ship in desperation!

First, he despised his small beginnings with APGA which gave him political relevance as two-term governor of Anambra State, punctuated by an impeachment between March 2006 and March 2014 but defected to the corrupt, ruling PDP mega party at the Federal level shortly before the 2015 General Elections!

Second, not satisfied as a second fiddle to Atiku Abubakar throughout Late Muhammad Buhari’s eight-year tenure – 2015-2023, he again jumped ship to the Labor Party which successfully gave the ruling APC a run for their money by coming third in a manipulated election to Bola Tinubu who garnered only 36.6% to become Nigeria's 16th President!

Third, in another desperate bid, Peter Obi has now joined the collapsed associations of vampires and predators labeled African Democratic Party (ADC), and has promised to spend one tenure of FOUR YEARS if flagged as presidential candidate!

Fourth, though he shows concern about Nigeria’s economic downturn, yet most of his business activities are tied to foreign investments and his accounts secured in OFF-SHORE Islands!

The IGBO’S have always foisted the impression that the Igbos were yet to occupy the number one seat and whereas both Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Major General Aguiyi Ironsi were both Nigerian President and Military Head of State respectively between 1960-1966!

While would Peter Obi in his widest imagination think that the incumbent will hand over power to an opposition candidate without a fight!

Was his decision of one-term presidency a collective Ndigbo strategy?

What stops Peter Obi from waiting until the year 2039, when the North-South rotation would favor him better?

IS PETER OBI NOT COUNTING HIS CHICKS BEFORE THE EGGS ARE HATCHED?

His political colleagues of strange bed fellows have called him out to go before A SHRINE AND SWEAR TO KEEP THE PLEDGE – a suggestion which he vehemently rejected!

GOING DOWN THE MEMORY LANE – EVENTS OF NIGERIA'S FIRST MILITARY COUP ORGANIZED MAINLY BY SOLDIERS OF IGBO EXTRACTION, THE REPRISAL COUP, THE 30-MONTH-CIVIL WAR AND THE PERSISTENT DEMAND FOR SECESSION BY NNAMDI KANU, ARE STILL VERY FRESH IN THE MINDS OF NIGERIANS!

The July 15, 1966 reprisal killings, also known as the “July Counter-Coup,” were a series of retaliatory attacks by Northern Nigerian soldiers against Igbo soldiers and civilians.

These events were a direct response to the January 15, 1966 coup, which was perceived by some as an Igbo-led attempt to dominate the country. The counter-coup resulted in the deaths of many Igbo officers and civilians, further escalating ethnic tensions and ultimately contributing to the Nigerian Civil War.

That first coup targeted prominent Northern politicians and military figures, including the Prime Minister and the Premier of the Northern Region.

The July counter-coup was organized by Northern officers, notably Lt. Colonel Murtala Muhammed, in response to the perceived Igbo aggression and the perceived failure of the January coup to achieve its objectives.

The counter-coup involved widespread killings of Igbo soldiers and civilians in the North while the killings deepened ethnic divisions and mistrust between the North and the East.

Many Igbos fled to the Eastern Region, fearing for their safety, and ultimately leading to the declaration of the Republic of Biafra, and the subsequent 30-month long Nigerian Civil War.

GENERAL AGUIYI IRONSI, NIGERIA’S FIRST MILITARY HEAD OF STATE WAS KILLED IN THE REPRISAL ATTACK!

In January 1967, Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi was giving a befitting State burial in his hometown of Umuahia-Ibeku, Eastern Nigeria with full military honors following his death in the July 29, 1966, coup. The ceremony took place in his hometown, Ibeku-Umuahia, in present-day Abia state.

And on the occasion of the 59th anniversary of his demise this year, Abia State governor, Dr. Alex Otti used the occasion of the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebration held at the Aguiyi-Ironsi Cenotaph, Ogurube layout, Umuahia, to honour the memories and sacrifices of those brave servicemen who died in active duty in different parts of the State in the last one year.

NNAMDI KANU PERSISTENT DEMAND FOR A BIAFRA STATE – IN SPITE OF - “NO VICTOR, NO VANQUISHED” DECLARATION IS ANOTHER ALBATROSS TO PETER OBI’S INORDINATE AMBITION!

Though Nnamdi Kanu is incarcerated and has been on trial for Treason since October 2021, he had made life unbearable for the very citizens he claims to be agitating for “their liberation from Nigeria”- through escalated insecurity situation in the Five Eastern States! There is a blanket weekly BAN on Mondays and Tuesdays trading in all markets with death penalties on defaulters!

Merciless murders of kidnapped victims in spite of paid ransoms has become a norm!

THE NUMBER THREE OBSTACLE IS THE DECEIT BY PDP CHIEFTAIN JERRY GANA OF OBI’S VICTORY UNDER HIS PARTY’S BANNER!

A founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prof. Jerry Gana, has claimed that former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi would defeat any contender in Nigeria’s northern states if he contested on the PDP platform.

Speaking on Arise TV’s Prime Time on Wednesday, Gana said, “I’m a researcher, and I research opinions. In the northern states, Peter Obi under the PDP will defeat any candidate, because our people are very fair‑minded.”

Peter Obi quit the PDP in May 2022 to lead the Labor Party during the 2023 elections.

Reflecting on the PDP’s roots, the Prof. Gana reminded Nigerians of the party’s grassroots strength and its pivotal role in restoring democratic governance.

“Many people have forgotten that the PDP won most of the local governments. When it came to the presidential elections, we won the presidency, we won the Senate, and we won the House. We were totally in control, and that is why we were very delighted that we restored democracy to Nigeria and re‑established civil rule.”

But Prof. Gana totally forgot that Peter Obi’s Labor Party came THIRD with 6,101,633 votes mostly in the SOUTH at the 2023 Presidential Election and garnered few votes from the NORTH!

Gana, who served in key positions during Nigeria’s transition to democracy, including Minister of Information and Cooperation from 1999–2003 under President Obasanjo, also hinted that; “In 2031, it will be the turn of the North. Our people are very fair, and we are building a nation.

Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, won the contest, having scored 8,794,726 votes ahead of Obi; and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who came second, scored 6,984,520 votes.

PETER OBI IS NOT AS PATRIOTIC AS HE IS POSING – HE HAS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS STATCHED AWAY IN OFF SHORE ACCOUNTS BECAUSE HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN NIGERIA LIKE HIS COMPATRIOTS – BOLA TINUBU AND ATIKU ABUBAKAR!

Nigerians are fed up with political charlatans who have kept the Citizens in bondage since independence.

Like 64-year-old Peter Obi, Nigeria is older than most of them who should with historical advantage at the least OPT FOR THE REGIONAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM TRUNCATED THROUGH THE BARRELS OF THE GUNS AND IN GRADUAL PROCESS DEMAND FOR A FULL-BLOWN ONE-HOUSE (UNICAMERAL) ARRANGEMENT THAT WILL ACCOMMODATE EVERYBODY AND USHER PERMANENT TRANQUILITY TO ALL AND SUNDRY!

Peter Obi could still back-pedal and the PATRIOTS to demand for GOOD GOVERNANCE!

“A word is enough for the wise.”

NIGERIA’S RE-BASED GDP IS A HOAX – MASSES ECONOMIC PAINS CONTINUE UNABATED!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria.  {Vol. 14. NO 614 20^th July 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

NIGERIA’S RE-BASED GDP IS A HOAX – MASSES ECONOMIC PAINS CONTINUE UNABATED!

 

The National Bureau of Statistics, (NBS), says the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has hit N372.82trn naira in spite of prevailing and glaring poverty rates across the land!

The government agency on 21^st July, 2025, stated that Nigeria’s economy grew by 3.13 per cent in the first quarter of 2025 from the 2.27 per cent recorded in the same period in 2024.

In nominal terms, the economy grew to N372.82 trillion from N205.09 trillion in the base year of 2019.

During the Goodluck Jonathan’s Administration, the Editorial Board of the Zion B-BC Newsletter in our publication, Vol.2.  No.37 of 27^th April 2014, titled, “NIGERIA’S RE-BASED GDP SHOULD DELIVER DIVIDENDS OF DEMOCRACY!” canvassed and advocated that the politically-crafted Gross Domestic Product (GDP) should not be another hoodwink!

 

OUR FEARS WERE CONFIRMED!

 

Eleven years down the line from Jonathan to Buhari and now Tinubu’s directionless and horrifically- corrupt regime, Nigeria’s Economy has nose-dived from Gross Domestic Product to GROSS DEMONIC PRODUCT!

Within that period, not less than 133 million Nigerians have been classified as MULTI-DIMENSIONALLY POVERTY- STRICKEN by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), to which successive governments had become LAP DOGS!

In 2013, Nigeria’s GDP estimate was put at USD$510billiion dollars or NGN80.3 trillion naira, the highest since 1990 when it was last calculated and catapulted the country’s economy as THE LARGEST IN AFRICA and 26^th globally.

Even at that global economic elevation, a World Bank research revealed that about 100million Nigerians dwelt in abject poverty ON A PER CAPITA OF USD$1.5 dollar or NGN250 NAIRA PER DAY – which exposed that RE-BASED GDP – a total contradiction, a PAPER TIGER!

AND YET - NIGERIA ‘S 2025 RE-BASED GDP BY THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STATISTICS (NBS), PRESENT UPGRADED FIGURES!

 

Speaking during a press briefing, the Statistician General of the Federation, Prince Adeyemi Adeniran, said the economy was rebased from the 2010 base year to 2019.

He added that by ranking the GDP estimates at the 2019 base year, Real Estate ranked third displacing Crude Oil and Natural Gas to the fifth position.

This is due to better coverage of the Real Estate informal sector. The top five activities are crop production (17.58%), trade (17.42%), real estate (10.78%), telecommunications (6.78%), and crude petroleum and natural gas (5.85%) as against crop production (19.62%), trade (15.61%), crude petroleum and natural gas (8.60%), telecommunications (8.25%), and real estate (6.24%) recorded in the previous estimates of 2019.

He added that the exercise began in 2018/2019 as economies are dynamic and change from time to time, influencing household purchase and government thus the need to rebase.

He said the informal sector increased to 42.5 per cent from 41.4 per cent.

He, however, said the rebasing is not instituted or directed by the government to meet any target but maintained that the elaborate data collection activities embarked on by the Bureau led to significant improvements in the coverage of activities such as digital economic activities, water transportation, activities of pension funds administrators, National Health Insurance Authority [NHIA], Nigerian Social Insurance Trust Fund [NSITF], activities of modular refineries, domestic households as employers of labor, informal sector activities, quarrying and other mining activities.

 

He added that in nominal terms, Nigeria’s economy was estimated at N205.09 trillion, representing a 41.1% increase from the previous base year value.

Expo: “Nominal terms” means that the much-publicized Re-Based GDP percentages are insensitive figures to further heighten the terrible hardship, suffering and hyper-inflation already created in the DOLLARIZED ECONOMY to further impoverish the downtrodden!

Whereas, Real term GDP growth in 2024, which portrayed actual costs and inflation rates of goods and services was 3.38%!

Nominal GDP measures the total value of goods and services produced in an economy using current market prices, while real GDP adjusts for inflation by using prices from a base year. Real GDP provides a more accurate picture of economic growth because it reflects changes in the quantity of goods and services produced, rather than just price fluctuations.

Naira depreciation and GDP growth

While the current GDP numbers appear high in naira terms, it is lower when converted to dollars.

 

Using the current N1, 529.53 per dollar rate, the data shows that the economy is worth $243,526,768,148.72 billion in dollar terms.

This shows that Nigeria is still behind South Africa which economy is worth $410,338 billion, Egypt with $347,342bn and Algeria with $268,885bn.

According to economic analysts, what the NBS did this time around is to aggregate all the activities in the economy using basically three approaches: the production approach, the income approach and the expenditure approach.

However, the GDP rebasing still creates a communication gap between Government and Citizens who hear that the economy is bigger, but jobs would still be scarce, inflation may not automatically drop, and living standards may not suddenly improve!

Ultimately, the challenge is not whether the GDP figure is big or small. To the ordinary person the legitimate question to ask would be: How is the bigger economy serving the people? Does it translate into jobs, affordable food, working schools, functioning hospitals, and a better life?

 

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A RE-BASED  ECONOMY AMIDST RISING POVERTY RATE?

 

Despite the rise in the economy as revealed with the current re-based GDP, reports show otherwise.

The World Bank in May 2025 projected that the poverty rate in Nigeria is expected to rise by 3.6 per cent over the next five years.

This was according to the bank’s Africa’s Pulse report, released during the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in Washington, DC.

The NBS’s multi-dimensional poverty index indicated that 63% of persons living within Nigeria (133 million people) are multi-dimensionally poor.

This is in addition to the reduced purchasing power, following the removal of subsidy from premium motor spirit (PMS) also known as petroleum in 2023 and the currency has since lost almost 70% of its value against the dollar.

 

WHAT IS GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP)?

 

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total monetary value of all final goods and services produced within a country’s borders in a specific time period, typically a year or a quarter. It serves as a key indicator of a country’s economic health and is used to gauge the size of its economy and the living standards of its population.

GDP represents the total market value of all goods and services produced within a country, including those produced for consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports (exports minus imports).

GDP helps economists, policymakers, and investors understand the overall economic activity of a nation, track its growth or decline over time, and compare it to other countries.

BUT IN NIGERIA THE PURPOSE OF GDP IS TO HOODWINK THE INFORMAL SECTOR AND COVER UP GOVERNMENT’S CHAINS OF FAILURES!

MR. WALE EDUN SAYS ECONOMY IS ON COURSE!

 

The Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, has described the release of Nigeria’s 2024 rebased Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures alongside the Q1 2025 growth estimate of 3.13%, as clear indicators of economic resilience and the success of ongoing reforms.

 He added that the GDP rebasing, carried out by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), is Nigeria’s first since 2014 and aligns with international best practices and offers a more accurate, comprehensive view of the country’s economic structure, reflecting evolving sectors such as digital technology, entertainment, and professional services. (FALSE – read early paragraphs above for the truth)!

 

THE ADVOCACY FOR CITIZENS - ORIENTED ONE HOUSE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA IS NON- NEGOTIABLE!

 

1.    This demand is gaining momentum daily while the corrupt and dirty politicians are ganging and warming up for the 2027 General Elections!

2.    On another plank, Legislators from all divides are collecting humongous allowances in the guise of amending the 1999 MILITARY PRESIDENTIAL CONSTITUTION!

3.    Mr. President on his own part is looking forward to borrowing more money in Dollars for “INFRASTRUCTURES!”

4.    AND THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS ABOUT TO “REWARD EVERYONE ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS” (Romans. 2:6).

ZION PROPHESIES HAVE NEVER FAILED TO COME TRUE!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria. {Vol. 14. NO 613 20th July 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

ZION PROPHESIES HAVE NEVER FAILED TO COME TRUE!

[President Tinubu Has Lost A Golden Opportunity To Redeem Nigeria Just Like His Predecessor].

The Lord’s Prophet and Editor of the Zion B-BC Newsletter prophesied that Bola Tinubu would be winner among the Four Contestants of the Presidential Election which took place on Saturday 25th February 2023, in the following manner:

“Thus saith The Lord;

1) Make categorical inaugural statement on 29th May 2023, that you will set up a CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY to look into the masses demand for the restructuring of the Nigerian Federation with the DRAFTING OF UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION to pave way for a Parliamentary System of Government.

2) Within your first THREE MONTHS in office, you MUST establish all necessary platforms through which the Presidential System would wind down gradually for all political structures from the Federal through the States and the Local Government Areas to collapse seamlessly.

3) ON MONDAY 22nd OCTOBER 2023, A PRIME MINISTER FOR NIGERIA MUST BE SWORN IN TO ASSUME OFFICE!

“All of the above must be carried out diligently and with precision according to my instructions with a Team of dedicated Patriots that I HAVE already appointed for you even before the foundation of the World!

“Believe in God and you shall be established, believe in His Prophets and you shall prosper.” (Ref. Zion B-BC Newsletter 498th Edition titled “NIGERIA IS NOT ACCURSED TO PRESIDENCY – TINUBU WILL ACTUALIZE THE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM IN SIX MONTHS “, published 11pm. Sunday 26th February 2023, when collation had just begun!)

QUESTION: Did the Alhaji who gambled on “a Muslim-Muslim Ticket” and won obey his CREATOR?

WE are spiritually convinced that the above Divine instructions and many other Zion Publications that followed as REMINDERS, GOT TO HIS TABLE but he just went in the opposite direction like Prophet Jonah. (Ref. The Biblical Book of Jonah).

“GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED, WHAT EVER A MAN SOWS, THAT HE SHALL REAP!” [GALATIANS 6:7].

From the onset of his administration in 2023, the incumbent President of Nigeria flagrantly disobeyed divine command.

King James Version of the Bible, 1 Samuel 15:23 states, “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.” This verse equates rebellion and stubbornness with serious sins like witchcraft, iniquity, and idolatry, highlighting the gravity of disobedience to God’s word.

The verse emphasizes that rejecting God’s word is a severe offense, likened to the practices of witchcraft and idolatry, which were strictly forbidden in the Old Testament. Witchcraft, in this context, is understood as a form of rebellion against God’s authority and a turning to other powers. Similarly, stubbornness is seen as a form of iniquity and idolatry, demonstrating a refusal to submit to God’s will and a preference for one’s own desires.

Therefore, 1 Samuel 15:23 serves as a strong warning against disobedience and rebellion, equating these actions with the gravest of sins. It underscores the importance of submitting to God’s word and following His commands.

“FUEL SUBSIDY IS GONE WAS TINUBU’S RESPONSE TO DIVINE COMMAND!

Although President Tinubu eventually admitted in far-away France that the “fuel is gone” portion in his inaugural speech of 29th May 2023, was impetuously blurted on the spot, he had refused to back pedal!

One of the reasons he adduced to buttress his action was an established fact that Nigeria was by default subsidizing Petrol to its neighbors through the smuggled product!

 However, that rash decision has back- fired because in the 26 Months of his administration the product is still being “subsidized” by Tinubu’s Administration through NNLCL, which fixes its prices, not subject to international competition due to faulty regulation and still being smuggled recklessly!

President Bola Tinubu who spoke with Nigerians during an interactive session in Paris, France in June 2023, claimed that his aides left out the decision for the removal of petrol subsidy from his inauguration speech but that he summoned the courage to say “fuel subsidy is gone”.

The negative outcome of the unthoughtful announcement precipitated long queues in filling stations across the country and the price of petrol skyrocketed.

Other negative implications of the sudden fuel subsidy removal manifested in short term decrease in economic growth but astronomical inflation on all goods and services, increase of MULTI-DIMENSIONALLY POVERTY-STRICKEN Nigerians to over 50 million from 33, increase in fuel smuggling, trans-border crimes, increase in prices of petroleum products and massive loss of jobs in the informal sector!

Tinubu’s main grouse: “Nigeria was tired of feeding smugglers who were benefiting from the petrol subsidy scheme.

“Some countries were bleeding us. Courage was missing,” he said.

HE EVEN LIED AGAINST THE ALMIGHTY GOD IN HIS FLAGRANT DISOBEDIENCE!

“I became an advocate of it — remove this thing (petrol subsidy) BUT GOD GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY WHEN I DANCED AROUND, STRATEGIZE WITH MY TEAM AND WE WON THE PRESIDENCY.

“And the day I was declared winner I fell almost sick with joy.

“The few friends who visited me rejoicing, so I asked the question, you asked me to bring this trophy, this victory what do you do with it?

“I brought it. I won. We must achieve with it. We must change Nigeria with it.

“Then Wale Edun and co started debating, putting my speech together without the question on subsidy.

“I GOT TO THE PODIUM, I WAS POSSESSED WITH COURAGE AND I SAID SUBSIDY IS GONE.

“They thought it was a joke of the century until I called NNPC. We are tired of feeding smugglers and making a few people rich and subsidizing the next-door neighbor.

“I met with the President of the Benin Republic today. I said everybody is equal now, we are friends. We are conjoined twins joined by the hips.

“How we will separate each other is with this fuel subsidy. Let us see whether we will survive or not but we are going to survive you.”

CUSTOMS BOSS CONFIRMS THREAT TO NIGERIAN ECONOMY THROUGH MASSIVE PETROLEUM PRODUCTS SMUGGLING!

In February 2025, the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service (CGC), Mr. Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, expressed concern over the increasing rate of petroleum product smuggling despite the removal of oil subsidy by the federal government, describing the trend as a major threat to the nation’s economy.

He said: “Since the implementation of the fuel subsidy removal by the government, we have observed a very disturbing trend in sophisticated smuggling operations across our borders.

“This is despite the expectations that fuel subsidies are expected to bridge the gap.

“There are lots of disparity that we still experience when we compare the fuel prices in our neighboring countries with what we have here.

“Petroleum prices in Nigeria now are below N1, 000. Despite the fact that this figure seems to be higher, it is significantly lower when compared to other prices in neighboring countries like Benin Republic and Cameroon which goes for around N1700 and N2, 000 respectively in our local currency.”

“Despite our efforts to curb these activities collaboratively across 17 land borders, the lucrative arbitrage economy has continued to incentivize unabated and must be tackled with the deployment of advanced technology.

NIGERIA STILL IMPORTS PETROLEUM PRODUCTS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES BECAUSE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY ACT (PIA).

Nigeria’s current import destinations of refined petroleum products, such as gasoline (PMS) and diesel (AGO), due to its limited domestic refining capacity since Tinubu’s unpopular declaration include but not limited to Belgium, Malta, Netherlands, India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Russia and Tinubu says all is well?

He may remain STUBBORN but it WILL not be for long! “He who sows the Wind shall reap the Whirlwind!”

BUHARI HAS PASSED ON AS “APPOINTED FOR MEN TO DIE ONCE..!” [Hebrews 9:27].

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria.  {Vol. 14. NO 612 13th July 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

BUHARI HAS PASSED ON AS “APPOINTED FOR MEN TO DIE ONCE..!” [Hebrews 9:27].

[Buhari did not die in 2018 as claimed by both Nnamdi Kanu and Former Governor of Ekiti State, South West Nigeria, Ayodele Fayose!].

The immediate past President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, died at about 4.30pm in a London Hospital on Sunday 13th July 2025.

He will be buried in his home town of Daura, Katsina State.

The sad story was broken in a statement on Sunday evening by his former media special assistant, Garba Shehu.

The statement read, “INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAIHIRRAJIUUN.”

“The family of the former President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has announced his death this afternoon in a clinic in London. 

“May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus, Amin.”

President Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s civilian president from 2015 to 2023 after previously leading the country as a military head of state between 1983 and 1985, was known for his stance on anti-corruption and efforts to stabilize the economy.

Further details regarding burial arrangements are expected to be released by the family in accordance to Islamic rites.

His successor Alhaji Bola Tinubu directs all national flags to fly at half-staff for 7 days.

Born on December 17, 1942, in Daura, Katsina State, into a Fulani family, Buhari, who was the 23rd child of his father, ruled Nigeria both as a military and civilian leader.

Meanwhile, the Presidency has reacted to Buhari’s passing.

In a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President, Information and Strategy, President Tinubu has spoken with Mrs. Aishat Buhari, the former President’s widow and offered his deep condolences.

President Tinubu has also ordered Vice President Kashim Shettima to proceed to the United Kingdom to accompany President Muhammadu Buhari’s body back to Nigeria.

Former President Buhari was twice elected Nigeria’s President in 2015 and 2019.

He also served as military head of state between, 31st December 1983, to 27th August 1985.

“I KNOW THE CAUSE OF HIS DEATH!”

News: Sowore Reveals Cause of Buhari’s Death.  July 13, 2025. 

Human rights activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, during the 2023 election, Omoyele Sowore, has revealed the cause of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s death.

DAILY POST reports that Buhari died on Sunday, July 13, 2023, after a prolonged battle with an undisclosed illness.

His death came two years after the end of his administration.

In a post on his Facebook page, Sowore wrote: “Buhari died of (BLOOD CANCER) Leukemia.

EX-PRESIDENT BUHARI’S DEATH DID NOT COME AS A SURPRISE TO NIGERIANS!

Most periods of his eight-year administration were punctuated with bouts of sicknesses which must be treated in London, United Kingdom all at the expense of the taxpayers funds!

The longest one which kept him in London for about Three Months was the only period that he handed over “transient power” to his deputy, Vice President Professor Yemi Osibajo SAN!

Even at that, his fanatical aides were always on hand to counter any negative news in respect of his deteriorating health!

BUT SHORTLY BEFORE BUHARI’S DEATH GARBA SHEHU ADMITTED THAT ASO ROCK ‘RAT INVASION STORY’ WAS FABRICATED TO DISTRACT NIGERIANS FROM BUHARI’S ILL-HEALTH CONVERSATION! July 12, 2025.

In his newly launched book, Garba Shehu disclosed that he deployed some propaganda to cover up the true state of his Principal‘s deteriorating and failing health.

The sordid confessions in the Book: “According To The President” which reveals how he deployed a bizarre but effective distraction tactic at a time when Nigerians were increasingly questioning whether Buhari was physically and mentally fit to govern, has set tongues wagging about how devious and clandestine surrogates could go to cover up for Unpopular and failed Governments!

Garba Shehu, has admitted that the now infamous story of rats invading former President Muhammadu Buhari’s office at the Aso Villa was a carefully crafted media spin to divert public attention from concerns about the president’s health at that time.

It would be recalled that former President, Buhari, had returned to Nigeria on August 19, 2017, after spending nearly three months in the United Kingdom receiving medical treatment.

 His prolonged absence had sparked nationwide speculation about his capability.

Upon return to the country, Buhari’s media handlers stated that he would work from home instead of his official office; an announcement that generated divergent public debates in respect of his capacity to steer the Ship of the nation.

In Chapter 10 of the book, titled “Rats, Spin and All That,” he writes about how a casual conversation about cable damage in the President’s office led to a calculated media maneuver.

“In the few hours after the president’s return, I picked up a conversation in the Chief of Staff’s office, where someone speculated that rats might have caused some damage to the unused office cables,” Shehu recounted.

“As the pressure mounted from reporters demanding an explanation for why the president wasn’t resuming work from his office, I leaned into that speculation. I told them that rats may have eaten and damaged cables and that renovations were ongoing.”

“I got calls from several journalists, including from BBC Hausa, asking what kind of rats we had in the Villa,” Shehu said.

“To get them off my back, I invoked memories of the notorious rats of the 1980s that came with the rice armada from Southeast Asia — rats that could allegedly eat anything.”

While some Nigerians laughed off the explanation, others accused the presidency of covering up the president’s true health status. Yet, Shehu says his mission was accomplished.

“At a later meeting, Minister of Information Lai Mohammed and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo asked why I had gone with that story. I told them it was intentional. I wanted the conversation to shift away from the president’s health. In my view, that spin worked,” he wrote.

However, Shehu noted that both officials disagreed with his assessment, saying the distraction had fallen flat.

The Spokesman also said that Buhari spent a good part of his time on medical tourism abroad and that led to his constant absence from office as President.

NNAMDI KANU’S CLAIM IS UNTENABLE!

Biafra Agitator, Nnamdi Kanu, claimed in 2018 that Buhari was not cloned BUT WAS “DEAD”, and replaced by a “body – double”!

“Luckily for us we have a public picture of Buhari’s finger and palm print officially issued by APC. We also have the palm and finger print of Jubril in an official photograph issued by the government of Nigeria so there is no doubt as to the authenticity of the photos we are going to be analyzing tonight. There have previously been some amateur attempt to explain these features but we are going to use a very simple technique that even a lay person can understand to prove to the world that BUHARI IS DEAD AND REPLACED BY AN IMPOSTOR A BODY DOUBLE NOT A CLONE.” 

The preceding paragraph is a VERY RIDICULOUS CLAIM BY NNAMDI KANU – still resonating on the Social Media –  in spite of Buhari’s Family official announcement that he passed on in a London Hospital  following  protracted illness!

*****If Buhari died in 2018 according to Kanu, then the Man who died in a London Hospital on Sunday 13th July 2025, was “Jibril of Sudan!”

HIS DEATH AFTER  RETIREMENT FROM OFFICE IS A PROPHECY COME TRUE! (REF. ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER VOL.11. NO.468 OF 31ST JULY 2022. http//www.zfbbc1.blogspot.com)

COALITION OF VAMPIRES AND GOVERNMENT BLOOD SUCKERS IN NIGERIA WILL PERISH TOGETHER!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria.  {Vol. 14. NO 611 6th July 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

COALITION OF VAMPIRES AND GOVERNMENT BLOOD SUCKERS IN NIGERIA WILL PERISH TOGETHER!

It is officially in the public domain that all losers at the June 2022 All Progressive Congress (APC), Primaries which produced the incumbent President of Nigeria, have concluded a grand plan in collusion with Opposition Parties to unseat him at the conclusion of a first term in 2027!

The roll call at the unveiling which took place in Abuja on Wednesday 2nd July 2025, include but not limited to the following predators and vampires: former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar; former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi; Labor Party’s 2023 Presidential candidate, Peter Obi; former Governor, Rauf Aregbesola; former Senate President, David Mark; and former Governors Liyel Imoke, Nasir El-rufai, former Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Alhaji Aminu Wali and Chief Tom Ikimi; former Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, former Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, former Minister of Police Affairs, Adamu Maina Waziri and others.

Not bothered about proffering meaningful solution to the unceasing flow of innocent blood of over 10,000 Citizens across the nation in the past 25 months of the incumbent President through failure of SECURITY ARCHITECTURE (like THE GROUP OF PATRIOTS who positively engaged Tinubu in August 2024), the only selfish priority of these BLOOD SUCKERS was how to exchange batons and shed more blood!

As at the time of this publication (6th July 2025), some Governors of the  affected States of incessant blood shedding across Nigeria WERE CLICKING GLASSES AND DINING WITH ALHAJI TINUBU IN FAR-AWAY COUNTRY OF BRAZIL which hosted the 17TH SUMMIT OF BRICS ECONOMIC BLOC to which Nigeria is only an OBSERVER! 

In the Presidential entourage which departed Nigeria Saturday 28th June 2025 en-route the Island of Saint Lucia, were Governors of Zamfara, Benue and Delta States where hundreds of innocent people were massacred in cold blood!

COALITION MEMBERS SERVED DURING MILITARY ILLEGAL ADMINISTRATION OF 30 YEARS!

These desperados who served alongside the military eventually kick- started the nascent Democracy on 29th May 1999, and further subjected the masses to deprivation of socio-economic dividends for selfish acquisition of illicit monies to satiate their very corrupt lifestyles!

Now that they have African Democratic Congress (ADC), as the platform which took them almost two years to establish, how will this association of strange bed fellows sought out the various inordinate ambitions of an array of presidential aspirants who are only in the bloc for the coveted ticket. 

Alhaji Atiku, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, and Aminu Tambuwal are desperately interested in flying the new coalition flag!

Their insatiable thirst for blood money blinded them from realizing that it was time to discard the VERY EXPENSIVE AND SQUADERMANIA PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT FOR A PEOPLE’S FRIENDLY COST-EFFECTIVE AND COST-SAVING ONE-HOUSE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM – in which GRASSROOT participation would be accommodated!

It is worthy to note that none of the names in the above list had SPENT LESS THAN (25 YEARS), QUARTER OF A CENTURY OF POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS – yet they still keep coming back to frustrate NEW GENERATION OF NIGERIAN YOUTHS from venturing into leadership positions!

#END SARS-END POLICE BRUTALITY PROTESTS-2020 AND #END BAD GOVERNANCE YOUTH PROTESTERS – 2023!

Both of the above protests which took place during the past APC Administrations of TEN YEARS from 2015-2023, were handled with MILITARY BRUTALITY BY MUHAMMADU BUHARI AND BOLA TINUBU!

Following the last brutality and massacre of youth protesters by BOLA TINUBU in August 2024, some GENUINELY CONCERNED ELDERS LED BY RESPECTED STATESMAN CHIEF EMEKA ANYANOKU, FORMER TWO-TERM SECRETARY-GENERAL OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF NATIONS – led a powerful delegation with a time table to the incumbent President for him to ACTUALIZE A ONE CHAMBER OF PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WITHIN NINE CALENDAR (9) MONTHS WHICH TERMINATED MAY 2025!

Alhaji Tinubu diplomatically said he was focused on resuscitating the Economy but would visit their requests thereafter! It was just another political LIE on his lips!

But because Tinubu coveted only after the Title and NOT the INTRICATE AND CEREBRAL demands of the exalted office of President, he has been a TOTAL FAILURE IN 25 MONTHS ON THE HOT SEAT!

Various current inflation figures  report show that Nigeria’s urban inflation rate stood at 23.14% year-on-year in May 2025, representing a 13.20 percentage point decline from the 36.34% recorded in May 2024; BUT contrary to Market realities – peppers, tomatoes, onions, yams, potatoes, rice, gari, fish, meat etc, prices have all sky-rocketed to over 400-450% without abating!

And the reason is obvious because the Forex Rate which determines all prices of goods and services in the country remains at between N1,700-N2,000 naira to ONE US dollar – in spite of the officially designated parallel market arrangement!

Tinubu has DOLLARIZED the Nigerian economy to the disadvantage of the POOR and has suffocated the Treasury with avalanche of foreign loans that would be difficult to repay by posterity!

REGISTRATION OF NEW PARTY - ALL DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE (ADA), AS “BUFFER”, IF ADC DID NOT WORK OUT!

Following the Wednesday’s 2nd July 2025 unveiling of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), as the platform of choice for the group of PREDATORS, these gamblers are still planning to form a brand new party as a “buffer”!

According to Rotimi Amaechi, in a television interview, two remaining requirements by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), for the formation of a new Party, All Democratic Alliance (ADA), had been acquired for  submission to complete the process.

And, whereas, the contentious issue of who would carry the COALITION PRESIDENTIAL FLAG to confront Tinubu remains an albatross considering the unbridled and insatiable ambition of all the old foxes who must hold on to EPHEMERAL POWER until death’s inevitable appointment!

However, political analysts have recalled that in the build-up to the formation of the APC in 2014, many of the aspirants were willing to make sacrifices by subduing their ambitions in case they failed to get the party’s nomination.

WILL THESE GREEDY BUNCH OF DO-OR-DIE GROUP YIELD GROUND FOR ONE ANOTHER?

The major hurdle for the Coalition to cross will be how to convince an obsessed ATIKU ABUBAKAR to accept the results of a primary election when conducted to choose their flag bearer which Amaechi and Tambuwal also ambitiously covet!

In the year 2005, ADC was registered as a political party and has always participated in elections. The party surprised political pundits when in the 2019 elections, it came FOURTH, poling 97, 874 votes when it fielded former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Obadiah Mailafia!

PARTY REGISTRATION OF THE BUFFER PARTY- ADA, OBEDIENTS AND 108 OTHER APPLICATIONS UNDER REVIEW BY INEC.

 

Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has confirmed receipt of 110 applications from associations seeking registration as political parties, stating that they are being processed in line with legal procedures and the commission’s regulations and guidelines.

The All Democratic Alliance (ADA)—promoted by a coalition of opposition leaders seeking to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 is listed as number 109. 

However, INEC is reported to be holding onto the application of 104 groups and associations seeking to be registered as political parties.

According to media reports, the104 applications were filed after the 2023 elections to enable more groups take part in future electoral activities as political parties.

The option of ADA, according to sources in the coalition seems safer as there are suspicions that the ruling party may have infiltrated most of the existing parties and could use them to frustrate the bid by the coalition to forge an alliance.

THE DIVERSIONARY ALL PROGRESSIVES PARTY STRATEGY AGAINST THE OPPOSITION’S GANG-UP IS THE ON-GOING UMPTEENTH ZONAL PUBLIC HEARING ON “CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS” ACROSS THE SIX GEO- POLITICAL ZONES TO RE-ASSURE THE PUBLIC OF ITS GOOD GOVERNANCE POSTURE!

Divine Verdict!

Thus saith The GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH: “You Opposition Coalition Parties and Incumbent Government of Tinubu have violated My Laws and Commandments – by murdering My People Who are called by My Name and still have the audacity to rage and blaspheme against Me and My Son!

“You have imagined and plotted vain things and encouraged yourselves that you could further subject My Nigerian Children to incessant bloodshed!

“From henceforth ALL OF YOU WILL PERISH WITH YOUR GENERATIONS!

“My Law Has Not Changed – the soul that sinneth shall die!” (Ezekiel 18:4, 20).
