Presidency Speaks On Reducing Tinubu’s Salary By 50% And Scrapping First Lady’s Office Amid Nationwide Protest—–The presidency has disowned a statement circulating on social media purporting President Bola Tinubu as announcing a 50% reduction in his salary and scrapping the First Lady’s office, among other measures.
Bayo Onanuga, the Senior Special Adviser on Media and Strategy to President Tinubu, issued a statement on Saturday dismissing the alleged presidential broadcast as “totally false” and a product of “mischief makers.
Onanuga said, “Please ignore the text of an alleged broadcast said to have been made by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
It is totally false. It is the handiwork of mischief makers, people bent on sowing confusion and chaos in our country. Please ignore it. President Tinubu has not made any broadcast.”
The broadcast, which had been widely shared on social media platforms, falsely claimed that Tinubu was implementing drastic measures to address Nigeria’s economic challenges in the wake of a planned nationwide protest by citizens over economic hardship.
It also falsely claimed that President Tinubu was planning to sell some presidential aircraft and restore fuel and electricity subsidies.
Other measures include the purported reduction of the number of ministers, mandating the use of locally manufactured products by government officials, and prohibition of foreign medical trips for government personnel.
This comes days after President Tinubu’s meeting with traditional rulers at the State House, where he addressed concerns about the planned protests and the state of the nation’s economy.
During the meeting with the traditional rulers led by the Sultan of Sokoto and the Ooni of Ife, Tinubu had said, “We’re not afraid of protests. Our concern is the ordinary people, and the damages that will be done.

A Nigerian woman, Ngozi, has said she would marry another woman for her husband if they are not able to have children after ten years of marriage and it’s been medically certified that the fault is from her.
She equally said that she will suggest getting pregnant by another man if the fault is from her husband and if he refuses, then the marriage is over.
Ngozi, who stated this in a Facebook post on Tuesday, said if one truly loves a spouse, he or she would want them to have a child even if it’s from another man or woman.
“10 yrs of marriage and no child…Medically certified the fault is from me, I will marry a woman for my husband or support him to marry another and then adopt a child of my own!!,” she wrote.
And if the fault is from my husband, I will suggest getting pregnant by one mgbada or everybody go find their way!!!
I think it’s utter selfishness to use your awilo and spoil another person reggae just because of marriage!!!
“I will not ADOPT when am sure I can get pregnant and carry my child to full term just because my Spouse is unable to biologically have one”
“I think that’s too much of a sacrifice to make”
Why will I adopt another blood when one of us can make a baby”? If we have no child after 10 years of marriage and the fault is from my husband, I will suggest getting pregnant by another man – Nigerian woman says

Lagos launches probe after overhead water tank kills woman

The Lagos State Government has announced plans to launch an investigation into the tragic death of 30-year-old Cynthia Oguzie, who was reportedly killed when an overhead water tank collapsed onto her apartment in the Lekki area of the state.
The spokesperson for the Lagos State Safety Commission, Adewunmi Okoh, confirmed the development to PUNCH Metro on Wednesday during an interview about the heartbreaking incident.
Ekwutosblog reported on Wednesday that a short video viewed by our correspondent showed the victim lying motionless on her bed. However, a woman in the background could be heard insisting that she was still alive.
Another video captured the collapsed water tank and the wreckage of the building, while additional photos showed Cynthia Oguzie’s lifeless body in what appeared to be a hospital setting.
Oguzie had reportedly moved into the Lekki apartment just two months before the tragic incident.
A Facebook user who identified himself as the victim’s brother, Chukwuebuka Nathaniel, shared details of the incident on his page, blaming the tragedy on substandard construction.
“Beware of Lekki buildings and their water stands,” he wrote.
“This is how they sent my sister to her early grave. Thank you, so-called Lekki landlord, and your engineer, for doing this type of water stand,” he added.
Reacting to the incident, Mrs Okoh told our correspondent that the commission’s investigative team was prepared to be deployed to the scene to conduct a thorough investigation.
To facilitate the process, she urged the deceased’s brother to provide the exact address of the building, noting that it would help the commission trace those responsible for the tragic incident.
“We need details of the incident. We will escalate the matter to the DG. And the officers in charge will take the matter over. They will investigate the incident,” Okoh informed Ekwutosblog.
The commission, which was established to uphold public safety, has investigated several similar incidents in the past, including the case of a young man who died after jumping into a melting pot and has issued sanctions upon the completion of such probes.
Meanwhile, efforts by our correspondent to reach the bereaved brother, Nathaniel, were unsuccessful, as calls and messages sent to him on Facebook had not been responded to as of the time this report was filed.
