The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has insisted that President Bola Tinubu does not believe in one Nigeria despite occupying the highest political seat in the country.

Obi recalled how Tinubu once said that he doesn’t believe in the unity of the country.

Recall that Tinubu in an interview with ThisDay in April 1997, said, “I don’t believe in one Nigeria.”

During the military regime, Tinubu was an active member of the National Democratic Coalition, NADECO, a prominent pro-democracy group.

The group which was formed in on May 15, 1994, fought against military dictatorship and ensured the restoration of civilian rule.

Upon the return of civilian rule in 1999, Tinubu became the governor of Lagos State.

Speaking on Arise Television on Thursday, Obi said: “Today we have a President who said he doesn’t believe in one Nigeria but he is sitting as the President. I believe in Nigeria. Yes Tinubu said he doesn’t believe in one Nigeria but I believe in one Nigeria, I’m committed to it and I want that unity.

“This is him saying it, I didn’t say that but you can’t hold what happened when I was barely three or four years old against me, it’s in the past and there are other things that happened subsequently.”

Nigerian striker Noah Abolaji Salaudeen continued his remarkable goalscoring run on Wednesday night, September 9, 2026, scoring twice in a commanding 6–1 victory over Euforija in the Lithuania Cup.

The brace takes Salaudeen’s incredible 2026 record to 39 goals and 13 assists in just 15 appearances, giving him an astonishing 52 goal contributions this season.

Salaudeen has been particularly prolific across both league and cup competitions. He has scored 31 goals and provided 12 assists in 12 league matches, while his three cup appearances have produced eight goals and one assist.

The latest performance further underlines the Nigerian forward’s reputation as one of the most productive attackers currently operating in Lithuanian football.

With his confidence in front of goal continuing to grow, Salaudeen is now setting his sights on maintaining the remarkable standards he has established this season.

“I’m enjoying my football and I’m grateful that the hard work is producing results,” Salaudeen said in a prepared reaction. “But I don’t want to focus only on the numbers. I want to keep improving, help my team win games and see how far I can take this season.”

The Nigerian striker’s current statistics are striking: 39 goals, 13 assists and 52 goal contributions from 15 games.

At an average of more than three goal contributions per appearance, Salaudeen’s extraordinary form is becoming one of the standout individual scoring stories of the Lithuanian season.

For the Nigerian forward, however, the target remains simple — keep scoring, keep improving and continue attracting attention with his performances on the pitch.

39 goals. 13 assists. 52 goal contributions. 15 games. Noah Abolaji Salaudeen is on an extraordinary run in Lithuania.
