Oduduwa Frontiers Hails Tinubu On June 12 Reforms, Progress
As Nigerians observe June 12 Democracy Day, the Oduduwa Frontiers, a civil society organization, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration for what it described as significant strides in economic reform, national security, and institutional stability.
In a statement released Thursday by its National President, Kolawale Adediji Kazeem, the group said Democracy Day not only serves as a reminder of Nigeria’s return to democratic rule but also provides an opportunity to evaluate the country’s development under the current leadership.
Kazeem applauded the administration’s resolve in addressing longstanding challenges through bold policy measures aimed at fostering sustainable growth.
He said: “This day not only marks the significance of our democratic journey but also offers an opportunity to reflect on the transformative progress achieved in the past two years in economic reform, security advancement, and overall stability.
“In the face of numerous challenges, the Tinubu administration has embarked on a series of ambitious economic reforms aimed at revitalizing our economy and fostering sustainable growth. The introduction of the economic diversification strategy has been pivotal in reducing Nigeria’s over-reliance on oil revenues.”
According to the group, efforts to boost agriculture, support SMEs, and promote innovation have contributed to job creation and economic resilience.
“The administration’s commitment to enhancing agricultural productivity, promoting technology-driven enterprises, and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has led to increased job creation and economic resilience.
“Furthermore, the government’s focus on infrastructural development, particularly in transportation and energy, has laid a solid foundation for future growth. The ongoing construction of new roads, railways, and power plants is not merely an investment in infrastructure but a commitment to ensuring that every Nigerian has access to the resources necessary for a dignified life,” Kazeem stated.
Kazeem also pointed to increased collaboration between government and private investors as a key driver of foreign investment, calling Nigeria an emerging market with considerable promise.
He further praised the administration’s security policies, noting a comprehensive strategy aimed at addressing insurgency and other internal threats.
“The safety and security of our citizens remain paramount in the pursuit of national development. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of security challenges, President Tinubu’s administration has taken a holistic approach to enhancing national security.
“Through strategic partnerships with local communities, the establishment of new security frameworks, and the reinforcement of our military capabilities, the government has made significant strides in combating insurgency, banditry, and other forms of violence.”
Emphasizing efforts such as community policing and border security, Kazeem said these initiatives have led to reduced crime in many parts of the country.
“The introduction of community policing initiatives has empowered local populations to take an active role in ensuring their safety, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility. As a result, we have witnessed a tangible reduction in crime rates in several regions, allowing citizens to go about their daily lives with greater confidence and peace of mind.
“The administration’s unwavering commitment to securing our borders has also played a crucial role in curbing illegal activities and enhancing national stability,” he said.
The group emphasized that political stability remains essential for democratic growth, and credited the Tinubu government with encouraging inclusive governance and strengthening the rule of law.
“Stability is the bedrock of any thriving democracy, and under President Tinubu’s leadership, Nigeria has experienced a renewed sense of political and social stability. The administration’s commitment to inclusivity and dialogue has fostered an environment where diverse voices are heard and respected.
“Moreover, the government’s efforts to strengthen democratic institutions have reinforced the rule of law and accountability. The ongoing judicial reforms aim to ensure that justice is accessible to all, thereby enhancing public trust in our legal system.”
As the nation reflects on the significance of Democracy Day, the Oduduwa Frontiers called on all citizens to actively support the country’s democratic journey and the administration’s vision for a better Nigeria.
“As we celebrate this Democracy Day, it is imperative to recognize that the progress we have made is a collective effort, requiring the participation of every Nigerian to uphold the values of democracy.”
“On this June 12, let us celebrate not only our democratic heritage but also the promise of a brighter future under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Together, we can continue to forge a path towards a Nigeria that is economically robust, secure, and stable, a nation that truly embodies the aspirations of its people,” the group said.

The Vice Chancellor of Atiba University, Oyo, Professor Sunday Okeniyi, has enjoined the newly employed staff of the institution to develop the spirit of teamwork, respect, and discipline, which are the hallmarks of every successful institution.
Okeniyi disclosed this during the orientation programme for the newly employed staff of the institution.
While welcoming the newly employed staff, he also congratulated them on their successful appointment into the fast-rising institution. “Your joining us today is not by chance, but by merit, commitment, and the will of God. Atiba University is a citadel of learning and character formation, envisioned to nurture and produce men and women of excellence, integrity, and service. By becoming part of this family, you are now co-builders of this noble vision.”
The V-C said the orientation programme was a deliberate initiative of the management to formally integrate the new staff into the University system. “It is designed to give you a clear understanding of our mission, vision, core values, rules, and operational culture. Our goal is not just for you to work here, but for you to thrive, contribute meaningfully, and leave an indelible mark on the growth and transformation of this University.”
He explained that the university places a premium on academic excellence, innovative research, moral uprightness, and community development. These values define the identity and are the standards the staff must all uphold in their respective assignments—whether as academic staff shaping young minds or as non-teaching staff providing essential support services that make our work possible.
While admitting much needed to be done, Okeniyi said the institution has recorded remarkable progress within a short time. “The future we envision—a future of global competitiveness, leadership in innovation and knowledge, and impact within and beyond Nigeria—requires the collective commitment of every member of staff. That includes you. Your dedication, creativity, and professionalism are needed to propel us forward,” he said.

This Is War, Kill Every Single One Of Them – Fani-Kayode Blows Hot Over Zamfara Mosque Massacre

Speaking via his 𝕏 account, he insisted that the killers should be wiped out, adding that there should be no room for discussions or negotiations.
Fani-Kayode asserted that the killers are terrorists not bandits and described their actions as an act of war.
He wrote: “These are not bandits. Pls stop calling them bandits. They are bloodthirsty killers and terrorists and every single one of them should be wiped off the face of the earth.
“If our people cannot worship God in peace then we have nothing. No negotiation, no discussion, no ransom payments, no rehabilitation.
“This is WAR. Kill every single one of them, wipe out their blood line and decimate their communities and abodes. There is no place on earth for those that slaughter innocent civilians.”
Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has accused Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of failing to address the escalating banditry crisis in the state.
Naija News reports that a deadly attack occurred on Sunday in Oke-Ode, Ifelodun Local Government Area, which left several residents and vigilante members dead.
Speaking via a statement on Monday, the Publicity Secretary of the party, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, described the massacre as “a despicable and senseless act.”
He blamed the governor for the insecurity situation in the state, noting that it is a monumental leadership failure.
Adewara said, “The gruesome videos of the casualties circulating online make it look like Kwara is now at war. Under AbdulRahman’s watch, terror is reigning, kidnappers are taking over rural villages, and nowhere is safe again.”
The opposition party faulted AbdulRazaq’s alleged silence and absence from the affected community, insisting that a responsible leader should have personally visited Oke-Ode to commiserate with victims’ families and give assurances of decisive action.
It further accused the governor of neglecting local vigilantes and security personnel “battling criminals in the bush,” while diverting funds to “footballers and entertainers outside the state.”
The PDP’s criticism comes amid rising concern in Kwara North, where repeated bandit attacks have forced residents to abandon farms, schools, and businesses.

Nigeria @65: Atiku Knocks Tinubu’s Government In Strongly-Worded Independence Day Message; Details Emerge
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has praised Nigerians for what he described as “uncommon patience, endurance, and resilience despite living under suffocating socio-economic and security conditions”
In his Independence Day message to Nigerians, the opposition leader alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) administration had abandoned Nigerians to their fate
Atiku lamented that Nigerians were enduring pains from “raging insecurity, rising food scarcity, mass unemployment, and a dangerous climate of hopelessness all “compounded by the insensitivity of the APC-led administration
In an Independence Day message released by his media office, obtained by Legit.ng, Atiku lamented that Nigerians are enduring excruciating pains from raging insecurity, rising food scarcity, mass unemployment, and a dangerous climate of hopelessness.
The presidential hopeful accused the Tinubu administration of being insensitive to the plight of Nigerians.
Atiku declared: “It is tragic that in a country blessed with immense human and material resources, millions of our people have been reduced to refugees and beggars in their fatherland. Every responsible government holds the welfare and security of its citizens as supreme. But what we have today is an administration that has abandoned its people. Hunger is killing Nigerians, bandits are massacring communities, yet President Tinubu and his cabinet stand by, unmoved and uncaring.”
Furthermore, Atiku called on citizens not to lose faith, reminding Nigerians that the 2027 election provides a clear opportunity to reject bad leadership and reclaim the promise of a better tomorrow.
He said: “The beauty of democracy lies in the power of the ballot. Oppressed and battered as our people may feel today, they will have the chance to sweep away this inept government at the next polls. That is the power no cabal can take away from the people.”
At 65, Atiku noted, Nigeria remains “a giant moving painfully slow on feet of clay”.
The 78-year-old blamed Nigeria’s condition on “a direct result of decades of poor leadership and wasteful governance.”
He bemoaned: “Yet, he urged Nigerians to keep hope alive, insisting that with the right leadership, the country can still rise from the ashes of failed governance to reclaim its rightful place among the comity of nations.”
