Osinbajo Hailed for his quiet exit from office
A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Prof Sola Adeyeye has commended former Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo for bowing out of office quietly without the usual pomp common with politicians in this part of the world.
The former Chief Whip of the 7th Senate stated this on Sunday in Abuja.
This is just as the ex-lawmaker flayed what he called the snide remarks which greeted a viral video of Osinbajo, alongside his wife, Dolapo, arriving at the presidential wing of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos from Abuja shortly after the conclusion of the handing over ceremonies in the nation’s capital last week.
Speaking in Abuja, Sen Adeyeye said, “I have received, for the umpteenth time, a video of the arrival of Prof and Mrs Osinbajo at the Lagos airport. The arrival was without the pomp and pageantry that holders of exalted political offices receive in Nigeria. Along with the video are tendentious and silly snide remarks.
“It would have been easy for Yẹmí Osìnbàjò to do what most politicians periodically do. He could have instructed some of his staff and supporters to organize an impressive crowd to await his arrival at the airport.
“For far less than ten million nairas, he could have distributed bales of Ankara along with snacks and some chicken change to singing women and noise-belching men.
“Needless to say, the capacity of a politician to stage such shows is directly correlated with the extent of his involvement in crude, appropriative, cash-and-carry politics,” he said even as he asked God’s grace to come upon the Professor of Law and his family members.
“May God bless Yẹmí Osinbajo for not embracing the wayward exhibitionism that often defines the thoughtless populism of the Nigerian political class. His job as Vice President has been done. A hallmark of the Christian life he professes is to be able to truthfully say with Apostle Paul, ‘I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things, I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Philippians 4:12-13,’ he added.
According to him, “Osìnbajo does not need a red carpet. The real losers are not Yẹmí and Dọlapọ Osinbajo but those whose superficiality makes them define a leader by the carpet on which he walks.”
On social media as well as in the viral video, the former Vice President suffered some cruel remarks from the public, with some describing his decision to vie for the APC presidential ticket as an act of disloyalty to Bola Tinubu who would go on to pick the ticket and eventually won the February 25 presidential election.

National grid collapses again
Distribution load figures released at 3:12 p.m. on December 29, 2025, showed that electricity supply to the country’s power distribution companies fell drastically, indicating a widespread system failure.
The national electricity grid collapsed again this afternoon with power supply across most parts of the country dropping to near zero.
Distribution load figures released at 3:12 p.m. on December 29, 2025, showed that electricity supply to the country’s power distribution companies fell drastically, indicating a widespread system failure.
Data from the Distribution Companies (DisCos) revealed that only two operators received electricity at the time of the collapse. Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company recorded a load of 30 megawatts (MW), while Abuja Electricity Distribution Company received 20 MW.
All other DisCos were allocated zero megawatts. Benin, Eko, Enugu, Ikeja, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Port Harcourt and Yola electricity distribution companies all recorded 0 MW, pointing to a nationwide outage affecting major cities and regions.
In total, electricity distributed nationwide stood at just 50 MW, far below normal
normal operating levels and grossly insufficient to sustain power supply to homes, businesses and critical services across the country.
The latest incident adds to a series of grid collapses recorded in recent years, which have often resulted in nationwide blackouts and prolonged efforts to restore electricity supply.
The recurring failures have continued to raise concerns about the fragility of Nigeria’s power infrastructure and the reliability of the national grid.
