Alhaja Tai, otherwise known as Montai plays big in construction business both in Lagos and across Nigeria.
Her group Sanwo-Olu Ambassadors was amongst the first group that started Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu Campaign right ahead any other support groups in Lagos.

“I strongly commend our amiable, visionary, hardworking, compassionate and forthright Governor, who I always call, Mr Sellable for keeping in track with the developmental blueprint that our leader and mentor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu designed about 20 years ago, and impressively this has consistently put the state in its deserving mega status”
Elemesho further hailed the Lagos State current infrastructure milestone noting that the efforts and commitments to provide safe and affordable means of mass transportation in the state will improve the value chain of business while also giving opportunities to the citizenry to predict their journey times.
“I believe that the Lagos Mass Rail Transit (LMRT) red and blue lines train projects will help the transport sector because of the traffic in Lagos. My greatest joy also is that the people of Lagos love love it because it will enable them to meet up various activities and predict their journey times. It will also reduce the rate of accidents on our major roads.
“I also use this opportunity to thank President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his leadership. I want to also thank him for the origin of modern Lagos that he created and started for us. But more importantly, I want to thank him that he helped us in Lagos to have a man that is capable of sustaining and championing his dreams and aspirations for a greater Lagos, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is indeed competent and undoubtedly a blessing for Lagos State” Elemesho stated.
President Bola Tinubu will hold first presidential chat since assuming office on Monday night.
Accoding to a statement released by presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, the chat will be broadcast at 9 p.m. on the stations of Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN).
All television and radio stations are requested to hook up to the broadcast.
“The first Presidential Media Chat with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be broadcast at 9 p.m. on Monday, December 23, on the Nigerian Television Authority and Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria.
“All television and radio stations are requested to hook up to the broadcast,” the statement.
The US President-elect took to the stage AmFest in Phoenix to talk about his contact with the Russian leader.
He told the crowd: “President Putin has said he want to meet with me as soon as possible.”
Trump went on to brand the war “horrible” and stated it needed to end. It is not known whether or not this meeting will take place in person. His comments at the event in the US come as Putin met with another world leader.
Putin held talks in the Kremlin today (December 22) with Slovakia’s prime minister, Robert Fico, in a rare visit to Moscow by an EU leader since Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Fico arrived in Russia on a “working visit” and met with Putin one-on-one. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russia’s RIA agency that the talks would focus on “the international situation” and Russian natural gas deliveries.
Visits and phone calls from European leaders to Putin have been rare since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine, although Hungary’s PM Viktor Orban visited Russia in July. Orban’s visit drew condemnation from Kyiv and European leaders.Fico’s views on Russia’s war on Ukraine differ sharply from most other European leaders. The Slovakian PM returned to power last year after his leftist party Smer (Direction) won parliamentary elections on a pro-Russia and anti-American platform. Since then, he has ended his country’s military aid for Ukraine, hit out at EU sanctions on Russia, and vowed to block Ukraine from joining NATO.
Stanley Alieke, the counsel for popular controversial rapper, Darlington Achakpo, aka Speed Darlington, said the singer has been granted bail after nearly a month in police custody.
Alieke disclosed this on his Instagram handle on Monday.
“Apki has been granted bail by the court,” he wrote without including much information.
The rapper was arrested on November 27 while performing at a show in Owerri, Imo State.
His arrest was connected to an alleged abuse of Afrofusion star, Damini Ogulu popularly known as Burna Boy.
Darlington’s counsel, Deji Adeyanju also confirmed that Burna Boy was responsible for his arrest.
Darlington had taunted Burna Boy over his affiliation with the embattled United States rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs who is facing multiple charges for sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
This prompted his first arrest. On his arrival, Speed Darlington swore never to back down on calling out the Grammy award winner because of his association with the embattled Diddy.
Earlier, Darlington’s lawyer, Adeyanju said that the singer would be arraigned within 48 hours or be released on bail.
