2027: Nigeria is sinking – Yunusa Tanko

Published on

By

The National Coordinator of Obidient Movement Worldwide, Yunusa Tanko, says Nigeria is sinking in all ramifications.

Tanko made this statement on Thursday in an interview on Arise Television monitored by GONG-NEWS.

He also said that the Obidient Movement and every Nigerian youth have confidence in the former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to take Nigeria to its glory if given the opportunity to pilot the affairs of Nigeria as president.

Tank added that Nigerian youths are not weak but strong, determined, and ready to take action, adding that they remain a vital force.

“We have confidence in Peter Obi who have shown resilience determination. The issue is about you drowning in a river or an ocean with a two edged sword. It’s either you grab it or you drown.

“So for anybody who may be thinking otherwise, it is the opportunity for him or her position, because Nigeria is actually sinking, and we are seeing it with our naked eyes. So you either go with the coalition and build a viral and united country, or we all suffer for it.

“So at this time, I think it is better for those who want to take that particular decision, to take it together, who His Excellency, Mr Peter OBI, is leveraging on seriously, are also a backup, and they are watching, and they are ready to take their action. So anybody can do anything, but he has the people to answer to.

“Remember, you are seeing what is happening in the country where members of the Federal House of Representatives, going back into their homes have been beaten to a point of stupor. Not to say that we are supporting violence, but it’s a political example of what you may expect if you decide to run against the will of the people,” he said.

FG begins N4bn payment of outstanding BEA scholars’ allowances

The federal government has commenced the payment of N4 billion in outstanding allowances owed to beneficiaries of the Bilateral Education Agreement, BEA, scholarship programme studying abroad.   According to TheCable, the ministry of education confirmed that the Central Bank of Nigeria has remitted the approved funds to Nigerian embassies and missions for immediate disbursement to eligible scholars. In a statement issued on Wednesday by Boriowo Folasade, director of press and public relations, the ministry said the payment represents 50 per cent of the approved outstanding obligations for 2025. Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, said efforts are ongoing to clear the remaining balance. “The funds have already reached embassy accounts, and affected missions are expected to begin immediate payments to beneficiaries,” the statement said. The ministry advised affected students to monitor their accounts as payments begin to reflect. The federal government said the development reflects the commitment of President Bola Tinubu to the welfare and academic success of Nigerian students studying overseas. The BEA scholarship programme was established through agreements with countries including China, Russia, Algeria, Hungary, Morocco, Egypt and Serbia. Under the arrangement, host countries provide tuition and accommodation, while Nigeria pays allowances covering health insurance, medicals, books, transport and feeding. Last year, the federal government discontinued the programme for new applicants following allegations of fraud and concerns that the scheme had deviated from its original purpose. TheCable had earlier reported that delays in stipend payments left several Nigerian scholars stranded abroad, with some reportedly facing eviction and financial hardship. The ministry reiterated its commitment to meeting obligations to Nigerian scholars and sustaining policies aimed at improving education and human capital development.
