President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to return to Lagos after Sallah, possibly remaining in the country for Easter. The convergence of Ash Wednesday and Ramadan on 18 February 2026 is noted as an auspicious occurrence. Discussions are ongoing about the proposed handover of King's College to its old boys, with emphasis on the alumni contributing to national challenges such as insecurity, economic decline, judicial concerns, phantom debts, abandoned projects, youth unemployment, poverty, health and education sector crises, and agricultural failures. The 2027 general election is expected to fall within the Ramadan and Easter period, according to the timetable announced by Professor Joash Amupitan, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission. There is a call for electoral integrity during the holy season. The alumni urge a shift from the administration's "Renewed HOPE" slogan to "Renewed FAITH AND HARMONY", arguing that faith is creative and eliminates uncertainty, unlike hope, which is emotional and aspirational. The King's College motto, "Spero lucem" (I hope for light), is cited in this context. One alumnus, Professor Bayo Ogunlesi, is highlighted as having achieved a personal net worth equivalent to a US$1 trillion milestone, suggesting his potential to contribute to President Tinubu's goal of a US$1 trillion Nigerian economy by 2030. A separate list compiled via a ChatGPT prompt cites $107.18 billion (₦85.74 trillion) in missing public funds from 2014 to 2026, with no prosecutions recorded in the cases listed.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu champions a US$1 trillion economy by 2030 while presiding over a system where $107.18 billion in public funds have gone missing with no one held accountable. If Professor Bayo Ogunlesi can amass a trillion-dollar personal milestone, the question is why public wealth continues to vanish under state watch. The call for old boys to bring solutions rings hollow when the administration they are asked to support has overseen decades of unprosecuted financial disappearances. Faith may inspire, but it cannot audit the treasury.
