June 12: Tinubu serious about laying foundation for balanced Nigeria
Maharaj Ji who made this known in a statement to mark this year's Democracy Day in Nigeria, noted that there is a need for some Nigerians to give Tinubu his due respect.
He declared that Nigerians should rally around President Tinubu and equally ignore those bent on distracting the President from moving Nigeria forward.
He frowned at the alleged series of comments on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, by some Nigerians including Hakeem Baba Ahmed's.
'President Tinubu is not a saint, but he is certainly more serious than the entire ruling elites of the nation about laying critical administrative foundation for realistic, fair, and balanced economic growth in Nigeria.
'There is a very big difference between President Bola Tinubu and Bola Tinubu. The former is the current occupier of the highest office in Nigeria, while the latter is a regular citizen of Nigeria.
'If he has any axe to grind against the person of Bola Tinubu, he should wait till after Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's tenure as President of Nigeria expires. So long as Bola Ahmed Tinubu exists as President of Nigeria, Hakeem Baba Ahmed must give him his due respect as President, not as his political colleague or as his Muslim comrade.
'President Tinubu is the winner to save the race, whilst Atiku, El-Rufai, Kwankwaso, Aregbesola, Pat Utomi, Pastor Ayodele, Oyakhilome, are asked to cooperate with our President in the anti-corruption drive,' he stated.

During a visit to the UK by the President of Kenya, a pipeline of trade and investment deals worth over £1bn to the UK economy were agreed which will deliver on this government's commitment to boost jobs and prosperity back in the UK, as part of the government's Plan for Change. This includes the launch of a tender for a major urban redevelopment project in Nairobi which has been inspired by the regeneration of London's Kings Cross. The Nairobi Railway City project has already provided opportunities to UK businesses with British architecture firm Atkins UK chosen to design the central rail station and public square. The Government of Kenya is exploring funding the project through finance mobilised by the UK's Export Credit Agency, UK Export Finance, which will create UK jobs in engineering, technical and legal services. Both countries also agreed stronger cooperation to disrupt the air, land and sea routes used by organised crime groups to prevent illegal migrants transiting through Kenya in attempts to reach Libya and other countries before travelling on to Europe. Four of the top ten countries for Small Boat arrivals in the UK are near neighbours of Kenya (Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia). Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, said: "Through our shared history and values the UK and Kenya have always had a close connection." "Now we are building a shared future; a modern, innovative and respectful partnership which is delivering real benefits – boosting growth and creating jobs for both Kenyans and the British people. We're going far, together." The UK and Kenya have also committed to increased defence and counter terrorism collaboration, including joint training and the creation of a new counter insurgency, terrorism and stability operations centre. Defence sales worth over £70m were agreed during the visit supporting manufacturing jobs in County Durham, Northamptonshire and Surrey. Kenya hosts the UK's most significant military footprint in Africa, including a facility that trains 3,000 UK troops a year. The UK's world leading financial services sector will also benefit; Lloyd's of London will announce today that they will be joining the Nairobi International Finance Centre, which will deepen the partnership between two leading financial centres providing access to up to £500m of insurance market potential in Kenya and the East Africa region. The two countries also committed to explore the potential of a bilateral digital trade agreement. Dubbed 'Silicon Savannah', the value of Kenya's tech sector is projected to reach £11.5bn by 2032. A digital trade agreement will open up opportunities in the sector for UK Plc. Distributed by APO Group on behalf of United Kingdom Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
