BREAKING: Opposition Planning To Truncate My Swearing-In, Tinubu Raises Alarm

Published

on

In the statement issued Saturday in Abuja, the President-elect noted that those who have taken to the streets protesting against his mandate are fixated on having an Interim National Government ING.

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Nigerian President-elect, has raised an alarm.

He raised alarm over alleged plots by some aggrieved partisans to truncate the transition process, particularly his expected swearing-in on May 29.

Tinubu in a statement by his Director, Public Affairs and Minister of State Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo SAN also warned the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and that of the Labour Party LP, Mr Peter Obi against taking to the streets while also pursuing their cases in court.

In the statement issued Saturday in Abuja, the President-elect noted that those who have taken to the streets protesting against his mandate are fixated on having an Interim National Government ING.

Part of the statement reads; “We have watched with great concern the condemnable activities of some persons and groups who are desirous of truncating our democracy.

“For reasons best known to them, these persons have remained embittered that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was declared winner of the 2023 General Elections. Repeatedly, but unfortunately, these misguided individuals have called for either the cancellation of the results or that the President-elect should not be inaugurated on the 29th of May, 2023.

“We wish to reiterate and emphasise that these positions are not in tandem with our constitutional provisions or our electoral laws. We would have taken these as mere wishful thinking, however, because of their implications for national security and public order, we have therefore considered it necessary, if not expedient, to call them to order.

“We are aware of the intentions of those engaged in these treasonable and subversive acts. We also know those involved in the many plots being contrived to undermine the transition in particular and democracy in general. They are fixated on an Interim Government. They have done it in this country before and it threw the country into avoidable crises for many years and they want to do it again. They are bent on delegitimizing the new government. Some have made treasonable insinuations and openly called for military take-over. It is for these reasons that they are desperate to incite the people against the incoming Government.

“It is perplexing to see that those contesting the results want to be in the courts and on the streets at the same time. However, if their intention is to truncate the inauguration of the President-elect and Vice-President-elect, they should immediately bury the thought. It is gratifying to note that the President has set in motion steps for the actualisation of the swearing-in ceremonies. In this regard, the Presidential Transition Council has remained focused and committed to its Terms of Reference in respect of organizing a hitch-free handover”.

The statement noted that on many occasions after the declaration of Tinubu as the winner of the election, his public speeches and utterances have centred on reconciliation, forgiveness and a greater vision for Nigeria.

It added that the President-elect knows those who are sponsoring violent protests against his mandate as well as their sponsors from within and outside Nigeria and shall be working closely with the security agencies to apprehend them and bring them to book

“He has pledged fairness as the basis for his present and future engagements. He has unequivocally stated that he would not accord favour to those that supported him, and neither would he mistreat those who did not vote for him. This is statesmanly and patriotic. We all watched the President-elect as Governor of Lagos for eight years. He never undermined any person or tribe. He championed people-oriented policies. It is common knowledge that he is a welfarist and a pacifist. This is even more so that millions of citizens have spoken through the ballot box in his favour.

“By being declared winners, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima are legally entitled to be inaugurated into office as provided for by law and as we have practised since 1999, whilst those who feel otherwise have the right to seek legal redress in court. Why should their situation be different from what we have practised since 1999?

“Those who are dissatisfied with the declaration must conduct themselves within the ambits of the law. Nigeria is not a lawless country and should not be portrayed as such no matter the frustrations as presently being exhibited by some bad losers.

“Those who are stoking the embers of hate, division and falsehoods as well as peddling misleading narratives through some compromised media outlets should detract from such. It amounts to campaigning after elections. Hate speeches, fake news and propaganda at a time like this are needless because Nigerians have already made their choice. Those who are bent on scuttling the process will ignite the fire of destruction and run away. But they should not even start.

“We simply wish that peace reigns in the country. It does not make sense that some persons who should know better are encouraging violence and are so determined to achieve that.

“We know these persons and their sponsors from within and outside Nigeria and we shall be working closely with the security agencies to apprehend them and bring them to book. Our concern is that everyday Nigerians who are unaware of the evil intentions of these persons should not be used as cannon fodders. Enough is enough. Their continuous determination to dare us should cease forthwith. We are not lacking in capabilities and capacities. Our silence should not be taken for cowardice. We should come together for the peace of our beloved country. It is better”, Keyamo added.

FROM ENTRIES TO SPOTLIGHT: THE SOUNDOUT LIVE EDITION 2 JOURNEY

Published

on

What began as an open call for emerging musical talent in Delta State has evolved into a competition that is now entering one of its most decisive stages. SOUNDOUT LIVE Edition 2 has moved from its initial launch, through the release of its official competition beat and the submission of entries, to the current voting phase, bringing participating artists closer to opportunities for recognition, exposure and career development.

Organised through a collaboration between SOUNDOUTTV and COBYL CITY LTD, the second edition was created to provide emerging artists with a platform to put their creativity and performance ability before a wider audience. With a prize package valued at over ₦900,000, the competition was positioned from the outset as more than a search for a winning performance; it was an opportunity for participating artists to gain exposure and access to professional development opportunities.
The journey took its first major creative turn on 1 August 2026 with the release of the official SOUNDOUT LIVE Edition 2 competition beat. Produced by Berry IV for COBYL CITY LTD, the beat became the common musical foundation for contestants, giving each participating artist the same starting point while leaving room for individual interpretation, delivery and creativity.

With the beat released, the competition moved from anticipation to participation. Artists were required to build their entries around the official instrumental, recording either a freestyle or an original song and presenting their performances according to the competition’s submission guidelines.

Entries were shared on social media while tagging SOUNDOUTTV and were also submitted through the designated official channel, giving contestants their first opportunity to place their work before the competition’s audience.
The initial submission deadline was set for 14 August 2026, but the submission window was subsequently extended to 18 August, allowing the competition to accommodate the continued flow of entries before moving into its next phase.
With the extended submission period concluded, SOUNDOUT LIVE Edition 2 has now progressed into its current voting stage, shifting the focus from entry submissions to audience participation.

Voting is being conducted through the official SOUNDOUT LIVE voting platform. Each individual voter may cast a maximum of 33 votes for a single contestant, while contestants may receive an unlimited total number of votes provided they come from different supporters and comply with the competition rule.

The current stage gives the audience an active role in the competition. Beyond watching the performances, supporters now have the opportunity to stand behind their preferred contestants and contribute to the momentum of their journey as the competition progresses. For the contestants, it is another opportunity to turn the work they have already put forward into meaningful audience engagement.
The entries are in, the performances have been heard, and the competition has reached the stage where the audience gets to have its say.

Whose performance caught your attention? Which contestant left an impression? Now is the time to stand behind the artist you believe deserves your support. Visit the official SOUNDOUT LIVE voting platform, cast your votes and make your voice count. The talent has taken the stage; now, let the fans decide.

Focox AT Officially Signs with Lucky Lisiano Records in Landmark Deal That Redefines Artist Empowerment

Published

on

In a move that is already sending shockwaves through the Afrobeats and global music communities, rising force Focox AT has officially signed with Lucky Lisiano Records (LLR). The contract is being widely described as one of the most artist-favorable deals ever put on paper — a rare, heavily enriched agreement that prioritizes the artist’s long-term ownership, creative control, and financial upside in ways rarely seen in modern label partnerships.

Based in Warri, Nigeria, Focox AT brings a distinctive sound and unfiltered energy that has been building momentum across the continent. Lucky Lisiano Records, headquartered in the United States, recognized the unique opportunity and moved decisively. The resulting partnership is being called “promising and unique” by both camps — a genuine bridge between Warri’s raw creative fire and LLR’s international infrastructure.

Under the new agreement, Focox AT will begin the partnership with two singles, followed by a full EP scheduled for release in the new year. Both artist and label have expressed strong excitement about the road ahead, describing the union as a true meeting of vision rather than a standard transactional signing.

There has also been growing talk of Lucky Lisiano Records establishing a physical headquarters in Nigeria, though no official timeline has been confirmed. Industry observers note that such a move would mark a significant expansion for the U.S.-based label and further solidify its commitment to African talent. With the first single expected August 14th 2026 and the EP locked in for mid 2027, both sides are already looking ahead. The consensus is clear: this partnership is built for impact. 2027 is shaping up to be a year of serious momentum.
