If we engage in talkshops as real challenges wreak real havoc in real time, we will fail. The time to strike is now. The time to achieve real results is now."

He said a situation in which 70 per cent of the resources being devoted to the world's poorest countries are being spent and sent back out on overheads and administrative costs, will defeat the purpose and objectives of the organisation where help is needed most., at his UN Headquarters Office in New York City on Wednesday.
"I fought for democracy. I was detained for democracy. I am now President and I am determined to prove that democracy can provide the development that our nation and our continent so urgently demands. "We are done saying too much. We seek much action. We have arisen out of poverty as individuals, but until our people have arisen out of that, we will not rest, even if it requires decisions at home that make me temporarily unpopular," the president affirmed.

Nigeria's Atiku, Obi Challenge Tinubu's Victory at Supreme CourtBarely two weeks after the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal upheld Bola Tinubu's victory in the February 25, 2023 polls, the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party candidate Peter Obi have filed appeals with the Supreme Court to nullify the judgment. Atiku and his party, have filed 35 grounds of appeal, arguing that the lower court committed "grave error and miscarriage of justice" in its findings and conclusion.
