By Sunday Dare My work, One Thousand and Ninety-Five Days was born from witnessing Nigerian history close up- not from the sidelines, but within proximity to power over the past three decades. The pages are therefore, more than just a collection of opinion essays written over three defining years in Nigeria’s national life.

When this administration…
By Bayo Onanuga With politicking intensifying ahead of the January 2027 election, opposition politicians have escalated their campaign of misinformation and calumny to diminish the impact and achievements of this administration over the last three years. Two years ago, when the administration was struggling to deal with the unintended consequences of its historic reforms, the campaign would have made sense. But not anymore, as the administration can rightly claim bragging rights for what it has achieved against all odds and why the international community is applauding it for putting Nigeria irrevocably on the path of growth and development. The impact…

By Femi Aremu The recent sponsored attack on the Executive Chairman of the Nigerian Revenue Service (NRS), Dr. Zacch Adedeji, is nothing but a desperate outburst from sore losers who are still battling the reality of their political rejection by APC members in Oyo State during the governorship primary. It is important to state clearly that Zacch Adedeji is too experienced, too exposed, and too responsible a public officer to misuse public funds for personal political interests. Public funds are not personal resources that can be spent recklessly as some people ignorantly allege. Those making these accusations have failed to…
