In the political arena, the adage "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" is often wielded as a shield against potential adversaries. However, for President Bola Tinubu, it seems the true enemies may not be those openly opposing him, but rather those who remain silent in the face of critical issues.

The ongoing Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) strike present a crucial litmus test, revealing the concealed adversaries that surround the Nigerian President.

Democracy Day vs Judiciary: Real enemies of Nigeria emerging in court - ITREALMS

The guilty, they say, is always afraid. This assertion cannot be truer in the face of near-direct fisticuffs taking place at the Abuja Appeal Court venue of the ongoing Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT. Since real trials began on May 30, the Respondents have been objecting to every move made in court by the Petitioners to prove that HE Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not win the election.

But as much as one could feel nauseated over the pursuit of technicalities by the second and third Respondents (Tinubu & Shettima) and fourth Respondent (APC) as the only ingredient of proving that they won the election, the actions of the first Respondent (Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC) in leading this quest is outrightly disgusting.

Our achievements are real says Buhari

ITRealms:

President Muhammadu Buhari has said his Administration has recorded concrete achievements which are there for all to see, contrary to the opposition's statement that the administration is running on propaganda and lies, reports ITRealms.

The President, who was represented by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made the assertion at the opening of the two-day Nigeria Governors' Forum Conference for Media Handlers of States' Chief Executives in Abuja on Monday.

''For our Administration, our achievements are there for all to see. We are delivering in the broad areas that formed the plank of our policies: Security, fight against corruption and the economy, which includes the massive provision of infrastructure, ease of doing business and agriculture, just to mention a few,'' he said.

Providing facts and figures, the President listed the Administration's achievements in ending subsidy and yet ensuring the availability of petroleum products; in raising power generation, transmission and distribution, in the massive provision of infrastructure; in tackling insecurity and making a success of the agriculture revolution, among others.

''Those who accused this Administration of 'propaganda and lies' in the fuel supply sector, for example, did not tell Nigerians that whereas they paid between 800 billion and 1.3 trillion Naira as 'subsidy' yearly in their time, without making the products available even at regulated prices, this Administration is not paying any subsidy, yet all products are currently available at competitive prices and fuel queues are now history. In their time, they paid subsidy of 3.7 billion Naira daily in 2011; 2.2 billion Naira daily in 2012 and 2013, and 2.5 billion Naira daily in 2014, all for products that were never available.

''Those who accused this government of 'propaganda and lies' also said we have not achieved anything in the power sector. Comment is free, facts are sacred, as they say. When this Administration assumed office on 29 May 2015, available power on the grid totalled 2,690MW, transmission capacity was around 5,000MW and distribution capacity was 4,000MW.
