Former Presidential Aide Addresses Claims Of Tinubu Moving Nigeria’s Capital To Lagos
A former presidential spokesman, Josef Onoh has dismissed claims that President Bola Tinubu is planning to relocate Nigeria’s capital to Lagos.
Naija News understands that one Mohammed Bello Doka had in an opinion article presented a narrative of regional favoritism and stealth relocation of Nigeria’s capital through administrative and budgetary decisions.
However, speaking via a statement, Onoh said that Doka’s claims are laughable and ludicrous.
He argued that while concerns about equitable development are valid in a federation, the facts were misrepresented.
Onoh said it was more painful that the wrong narrative was reposted and promoted by former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai whom he said he has high respect for despite negative perceptions that surrounds him.
He lamented that the over-packed media handlers of President Tinubu have failed in positively defending and promoting his policies to Nigerians and the world as a whole in a respectful manner expected from the office of a President.
Onoh countered the claim that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has “quietly transferred” key departments to Lagos, shifting real power there, noting that he had in a previous publication responded to same exact false insinuation by Senator Ali Ndume and once again compelled to make clear that In 2024, the CBN relocated specific departments (e.g., Banking Supervision, Financial Policy and Regulation) to its Lagos office as part of a decongestion plan for the overcrowded Abuja headquarters (occupancy exceeded safe capacity by over 50%).
“This involved redistributing 1,533 staff across Abuja, Lagos, and understaffed branches nationwide for safety, efficiency, and better oversight, most commercial banks are headquartered in Lagos. The CBN’s official headquarters remains in Abuja; this is internal restructuring, not a power grab,” he said.
The chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Taiwo Oyedele, has reiterated that the new tax reforms will commence on January 1, 2026.
He stated this while addressing newsmen following the visit of the National Tax Policy Implementation Committee (NTPIC), chaired by Joseph Tegbe, to President Bola Tinubu at his residence in Lagos.
He promised that the reforms under the new tax laws are intended to provide relief to Nigerians and stimulate economic growth.
Oyedele stated that the reforms aimed to promote economic growth, inclusivity, and shared prosperity.
According to Oyedele, “The plan to commence the two remaining new laws on the 1st of January 2026 will go ahead as planned on schedule because these reforms are designed to provide relief to the Nigerian people.
“Bottom 98 per cent of workers will see either no PAYE tax or lower taxes to be paid; small businesses, 97 per cent of them, will be exempted from corporate income tax, VAT, withholding tax, and large businesses will see a drop in the taxes that they pay.
“The whole idea is to try and promote economic growth, inclusivity, and shared prosperity for our people. We are actually excited at the progress we are making, and we are looking forward to January 1, 2026.”
The South East Renewed Hope Agenda (SERHA) Ebonyi State Chapter has distributed Christmas food items to residents of Ebonyi State as part of efforts to support vulnerable households and cushion the impact of prevailing economic challenges during the festive season.
Speaking at the distribution ceremony, the National Coordinator of SERHA, Belusochukwu Enwere, described the initiative as a practical demonstration of compassion, solidarity and people-centred governance.
He said the gesture was aimed at putting smiles on the faces of Ebonyi residents and reaffirming the commitment of the Renewed Hope Agenda to the welfare of Nigerians at the grassroots.
According to Enwere, Christmas is a season that underscores love, sacrifice and sharing, particularly with the less privileged. He noted that the distribution of food items reflected the true spirit of the season by extending a helping hand to families and individuals in need.
He said: “The Renewed Hope Agenda, under the visionary leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is anchored on inclusiveness and restoring hope to Nigerians.
“This initiative aligns perfectly with the President’s commitment to cushioning the effects of economic challenges and ensuring that no Nigerian is left behind.”
Enwere described Ebonyi State as a critical part of the South East, commending the resilience, industrious nature and commitment to progress of its people.
The SERHA coordinator said the food distribution was both an appreciation of the people’s support and a reassurance that their welfare remains a priority under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Enwere expressed appreciation to stakeholders who contributed to the success of the programme, including SERHA coordinators, volunteers, community leaders, traditional rulers, women and youth groups, as well as security agencies.
He also commended the Ebonyi State leadership of SERHA for its support for President Tinubu and its efforts to strengthen the Renewed Hope Agenda in the state.
He encouraged beneficiaries to receive the food items in the spirit of goodwill and to continue supporting government policies and programmes targeted at sustainable development, economic empowerment and social stability.
As Nigerians celebrate Christmas and prepare for the new year, Enwere called for renewed unity, peace and collective commitment to progress, stressing that a stronger South East and a more prosperous Nigeria can be achieved through shared effort and cooperation.
He concluded by wishing the people of Ebonyi State a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, praying for good health, peace and renewed hope for all Nigerians.

A Nigerian man who recently went viral after crying out that his wife abandoned him with their three-month-old baby has gone to plead with her family, but the outcome was not what he expected.
An update has surfaced online concerning the man, whose story gained attention after he claimed his wife left him following a what he described as a ‘little misunderstanding’, leaving him alone with their infant.
In the viral video shared by @GeneralSnow on X (formerly Twitter), the man visited his wife’s family house days after she left, hoping they would help mediate and encourage her to return home with their baby.
However, the visit allegedly ended on a negative note.
It was reported that his wife and members of her family refused to hear him out and instead asked him to leave the house, warning him not to return.
The incident has sparked fresh conversations online, especially given that the child involved is still very young.
Reactions have been mixed, while some sympathised with the man, others pointed out that the woman’s side of the story has not been heard.
One commenter wrote, “We still haven’t heard the woman’s side,” while another said, “This whole situation is sad, especially for the baby.”
Many believe the situation calls for calm dialogue and proper family mediation rather than actions that could deepen the crisis.

President Bola Tinubu on Friday joined Muslim worshippers at the Lekki Central Mosque in Lagos for Jumat prayers.
The president was accompanied by Nuhu Ribadu, National Security Adviser, and his chief of staff, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.
Tinubu was received at the mosque by Engr. Obafemi Hamzat, deputy governor of Lagos state, alongside members of the mosque management.
The visiting Imam, Dr Salahudeen Arriyadhi, commended the president for what he described as the developmental projects being executed by his administration.
“You cannot satisfy everyone at the same time. Allah was happy with leaders who listened to the cries of his followers but unhappy with leaders who do not attend to the needs of the led. We are praying for you, and you will succeed,” Arriyadhi told Tinubu..
In his sermon titled ‘Unity in Diversity’ and ‘Remembering the Day of Judgement’, Arriyadhi said human diversity in colour, tribe, religion, language, and nation was deliberately ordained by Allah.
“Diversity is a sign of Allah’s Wisdom. If Allah had wanted every one of his creations to be one, he would have created them one. Diversity in religion and tribe should not be a source of problems,” the cleric stated.
He urged Nigerians to view their differences as a foundation for harmony, learning, and unity.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has officially married Queen Zaynab Ngohemba, the former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.
The union was formally celebrated in Benue State, where Queen Zaynab was welcomed into the Dajoh family home.
Union Confirmed by Family Member
The announcement of the marriage came via a social media post by Abraham Double-d Dajoh, a member of the Dajoh family.
In the celebratory message, he confirmed the union between the high-ranking government official and the former Olori of the Ife Kingdom, describing it as both “beautiful” and “uncommon.”
Warm Welcome into the Dajoh Family
Queen Zaynab was officially ushered into the Dajoh family home in Mbakor, Benue State, amid cultural fanfare.
The family emphasized their joy, signaling a new chapter for Senator Akume’s household.
“We, the entire Dajoh Family, happily join our daddy, uncle and brother, His Excellency, The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. George Akume Jugu Dajoh, in welcoming his new and uncommon wife,” the post read.
Appreciation for Supporters
The family extended gratitude to Akume’s political associates and supporters, encouraging them to remain loyal and continue supporting the SGF as he embarks on this personal journey.
“We appreciate and thank the fans and supporters of Sen. Akume for always standing by him. We enjoin every one of you to continue to support his Excellency even in this beautiful union with Queen Zaynab,” the post added.
Queen Zaynab’s Cultural Reception
Previously known as Olori Wuraola during her 17-month marriage to the Ooni (which ended in 2017), Queen Zaynab was welcomed into her new home with deep cultural reverence.
The family highlighted the importance of ancestral roots in Mbakor and Benue State, celebrating her arrival in the “seat of leadership of the Tiv nation.”
Timing of the Marriage Clarified
Contrary to rumors suggesting the wedding took place on December 24 in Gboko, Akume’s spokesperson, Yomi Odunuga, clarified that the marriage is over a year old.
“I can confirm the marriage. However, contrary to the rumor that the marriage was concretized in Gboko on Christmas Eve when the couple appeared together at an event to celebrate Christmas, it was actually a marriage that is over a year old,” Odunuga said.
Political and Social Buzz
Akume, a former Governor of Benue State and current key figure in President Bola Tinubu’s administration, has made headlines with this union.
Queen Zaynab, a prominent humanitarian and former royal, has now entered the political and social limelight alongside the SGF.
The announcement coincided with the festive period, with the Dajoh family extending warm wishes for a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to Nigerians.
Insists tax reform not for quick revenue, targets growth, fairness
The Federal Government has insisted that there will be no delay in the commencement of implementation of Nigeria’s new tax laws, despite recent controversy over alleged alterations to the legislations.
Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, gave the assurance on Friday after presenting an update on the implementation of the tax reform Acts to President Bola Tinubu at his Lagos residence.
Oyedele was accompanied to the meeting by the chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Zacchaeus Adedeji, and the chairman of the National Tax Policy Implementation Committee, Joseph Tegbe.
Oyedele said the government remained fully committed to the agreed implementation timeline, noting that two of the four tax reform laws had already taken effect.
“As you are already aware, there are four of those laws, and two of them have already commenced,” he said. According to him, the Nigerian Revenue Service Establishment Act and the Joint Revenue Service Establishment Act both took effect on June 26, 2025.
He added that the remaining two laws — the Nigerian Tax Act and the Nigerian Tax Administration Act — were scheduled to commence on January 1, 2026, as originally planned.
Oyedele welcomed the intervention of the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee, which recently concluded its work on allegations of alterations to the tax reform bills.
“We welcome the statement by the National Assembly, House of Representatives committee today on the findings and the work around the allegations about alteration,” he said.
He stressed that the Federal Government would work with the National Assembly if any further action became necessary but made it clear that the implementation timeline would not be affected.
“The plan to commence the two remaining new laws on the first of January 2026 will go ahead as planned, on schedule,” Oyedele said.
He explained that the reforms were deliberately designed to ease the tax burden on Nigerians rather than to generate immediate revenue for government.
According to him, the bottom 98 per cent of workers will either pay no personal income tax or pay lower taxes under the new regime, while about 97 per cent of small businesses will be exempt from corporate income tax, value added tax and withholding tax.
Oyedele also noted that large businesses would benefit from reduced tax obligations, describing the reforms as pro-growth and inclusive.
“The whole idea is to promote economic growth, inclusivity, as well as shared prosperity for our people,” he said, adding that the government was encouraged by the progress made so far and was looking forward to January 1, 2026.
Responding to questions on government readiness and revenue expectations, Oyedele said preparation for the reforms began from the moment the bills were submitted to the National Assembly in October 2024.
He explained that the bills spent nine months in the legislature before being passed in June 2025, while the period since presidential assent had been used for capacity building, system upgrades and public sensitisation.
“This kind of reform is a work in progress,” he said. “You never get to perfection. You get better as you go along.”
He added that the early commencement of two of the laws was intentional, to allow institutions time to get ready, including the establishment of new structures required for effective implementation.
On revenue projections, Oyedele said the reforms were not targeted at short-term revenue gains.
“The plan, the intention for this tax reform is not immediate revenue generation,” he said, explaining that government expected revenue to grow organically as economic activity expanded and the tax base widened.
He also pointed to the removal of what he described as wasteful and distortionary incentives, as well as improved tax compliance and fairness, as key long-term benefits of the reforms.
The chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Taiwo Oyedele, has reaffirmed that the implementation of the new tax reforms will commence on January 1, 2026.
Oyedele assured that the reforms under the new tax laws are intended to provide relief to Nigerians and stimulate economic growth.
He disclosed this while addressing journalists following the visit of the National Tax Policy Implementation Committee, NTPIC, chaired by Joseph Tegbe, to President Bola Tinubu at his residence in Lagos.
According to Oyedele: “The plan to commence the two remaining new laws on the 1st of January 2026 will go ahead as planned on schedule because these reforms are designed to provide relief to the Nigerian people.
“Bottom 98 per cent of workers will see either no PAYE tax or lower taxes to be paid; small businesses, 97 per cent of them, will be exempted from corporate income tax, VAT, withholding tax, and large businesses will see a drop in the taxes that they pay.
“The whole idea is to try and promote economic growth, inclusivity, and shared prosperity for our people. We are actually excited at the progress we are making, and we are looking forward to January 1, 2026.”
Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has been applauded for his leadership style and achievements in the last six and a half years, which have been described as superlative and proof that the “Otooge” struggle has continued to yield a huge success.
According to a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Abdullateef Gidado Alakawa, who is the Chairman, Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority (LNRBDA), “Kwara APC became a formidable and sought-after party to everyone following the Governor’s records of performance”.
He spoke in Ilorin, the state capital, at the end-of-the-year meeting/launch with critical stakeholders, including nine National Assembly members (both serving and former), top officials of government, captains of industry, and party leaders.
Governor AbdulRazaq was in attendance. Also present were the Deputy Governor, Kayode Alabi; Senator Salihu Mustapha (Kwara Central); Speaker, Kwara State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Yakubu Salihu Danladi, DG NOA, Alhaji Issa Lanre Onilu, among others.
“This is a gathering of eminent kwarans from all walks of life. At the instance of His Excellency, we are all here gathered at the Kwara State banquet hall to celebrate unity, achievements, the fruits of Otooge struggle, and the success that has come from the collective sons of Kwara, who, in different ways, have contributed to the throne of the new system and modern Kwara, ” he said.
“Your Excellency, we thank you for putting this occasion together. And to every attendee this afternoon, it is our struggle, our contributions, our understanding, and the sacrifices that have given us the Kwara that we are all proud to say is our state, today.
“During that struggle, nobody gave us a chance, nobody believed us. But we thank God for the driver that was divinely given to us from the top through the Almighty Allah.”
The party chieftain said Kwara APC remains a party to beat under the watch of Governor AbdulRazaq, where many people, he noted, prefer to pursue their political aspirations.
He said, while some people doubted the capacity of this administration to perform big and deliver on its campaign promises, Governor AbdulRazaq has proved the doubting Thomas wrong.
While pointing out the strides of the administration in many sectors, such as education, road, agriculture, health, and social investment, Alakawa said all this serves as a major shift from what Kwara used to be.
Hon. Alakawa equally commended the Governor’s approach to addressing the security challenge and promoting religious harmony, saying no amount of blackmail by the opposition party can deny the administration its deserved credit.
“For those who thought that the Otooge struggle in 2019 was a mistake, they have got it wrong. Some said it was a calculated mistake or an accident,” he said.
“Whereas in 2023, under the full leadership of our Governor, Kwarans repeated that (electoral success). This has shown that the Otooge struggle in 2019 was not a mistake.”
Cabinet members took turns to showcase the achievements of the administration in their respective offices.
Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, Dr Segun Ogunsola, spoke on the Urban Renewal project across the state and the Kwara Smart City at Alalubosa, saying about 40km of the land has been cleared to house the state university of education.
Commissioner for Health, Dr Amina Ahmed El-Imaam, said Governor AbdulRazaq has achieved greatly and changed the narratives in the health sector, citing the increasing number of healthcare facilities and improved access to good medical treatments.
She also mentioned the 83 newly upgraded Primary Health Care Centres across the state, which the government just inaugurated to meet the health needs of citizens.

The Zamfara State parallel House of Assembly, under the leadership of Hon. Bashar Aliyu Gummi, has condemned the way and manner Governor Dauda Lawal is misapplying state resources to sponsor attacks on his predecessor and Hon Minister of State for Defence, Bello Mohammed Matawalle.
The Assembly explained that they learnt that Governor Dauda is always witch-hunting Minister of Defence, Bello Matawalle, through character assassination.
The house further blamed the Governor for abandoning his constitutional role and duties for his personal agenda of remaining in office beyond 2027 by trying to paint the minister black since his assumption in office in 2023, which formed part of the reasons we were at loggerheads with him due to our refusal to join him in the dirty job.
The condemnation was contained in a statement signed by the factional Speaker of the state’s parallel House of Assembly, Hon Bashar Aliyu Gummi and made available to journalists shortly after the sitting of the members in Gusau.
The lawmakers who charged Governor Dauda to ensure full security coverage of the lives and properties of the citizens, lamented that he is said to be spending billions of Naira from the taxpayers’ money just to fight Matawalle’s 2027 governorship bid.
While vowing to investigate and make public the money syphoned by the state government for misplaced priorities such as the governor’s personal agenda and fight against the minister, the members counselled him to turn his attention to the security situation that bedevilled the state.
They noted that having campaigned and won election using the phrase ‘We will end insecurity immediately after swearing in,’, therefore, Governor Dauda has no excuse whatsoever to give over his failure in this regard.
They also expressed dismay in the Governor’s continued refusal to either visit victims of bandit attacks or send assistance to such victims to cushion the impact of their miserable situation.
The factional Zamfara State House of Assembly has, however, vowed not to relent in calling for accountability and obedience to the rule of law in the state until the right things are done.
In their separate contributions during the plenary, members described Matawalle’s tenure as more committed and serious on security.
They noted that Dauda is jittery about Matawalle’s popularity and acceptance, which is causing fears in Dauda.
The lawmakers also expressed worries over the escalation of insecurity throughout the state without any concerns from the Governor or his agents, citing recent attacks in Keta, Maru and parts of the Bungudu local government area,s where many residents were abducted, with the government remaining silent in all.
The House unanimously commended the effort of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, his ministers of defence, Christopher Musa and Bello Mohammed Matawalle and all military personnel involved in the fight against banditry and criminal activities and prayed that the efforts would be sustained until peace is fully restored in all parts of the country.

In a statement shared on his official X handle, Senator Tambuwal explained that the operation was conducted through cooperation between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the United States.

He assured constituents in Sokoto South that he is in active discussions with relevant security authorities to obtain full details of the operation and to ensure that all necessary safeguards are upheld.

He stressed that the protection of civilian lives remains paramount and central to all legitimate security operations.
Senator Tambuwal also commended the courage and professionalism of Nigeria’s military and security forces, noting their continued sacrifices in confronting terrorism and banditry, often in collaboration with international partners under extremely challenging conditions.
He further called on community leaders, traditional institutions, and residents to support security efforts by sharing credible information and resisting misinformation capable of heightening fear or tension within communities.
According to him, unity, vigilance, and cooperation with lawful security efforts remain essential to overcoming terrorism and securing lasting peace in Sokoto State and across Nigeria.

He said in his X post:
“As a northern Muslim, if you truly reject ISWAP, then a bomb hitting their camp should not trouble you. A strike ordered under President Trump through the United States of America is not an attack on Islam. It is pressure on extremists who have murdered Muslims across the North. “What we are seeing now are tears from ISWAP supporters. They cry for terrorists, not for the Muslims buried by them. That says everything you need to know.”
