Stop Being Tyrannical And Wicked, Obey Rule Of Law – Soyinka Blasts Buhari
Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has once again on Saturday in an interview with newsmen in Abeokuta, advised President Muhammadu Buhari to stop being tyrannical in his governance and desist from what he described as presidential hooliganism and diplomatic excessive display of Methuselahnic political vendetta.
In his words, the Noble Laureate reiterated his position about the president in 2007 when he was aspiring to be the presidential candidate of his political party before he lost the election to President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He read to newsmen what he wrote then and maintained that the leopard found in Buhari can never change its spots; saying the aged president cannot change his way of life for any reason whatsoever.
He added that, those of them who later supported his 2015 presidential ambition had no choice than to give a trial then, hoping the military khaki was responsible for his harsh and wicked ways of life when he was former military head of states between 1983 and 1985, but concluded they made the greatest mistake of the century.
“In 2007, I wrote this piece about Gen. Muhammadu Buhari: Shall we revisit the tragicomic series of trials that landed several politicians several lifetimes in prison? Recall, if you please, the ‘judicial’ processes undergone by the septuagenarian Chief Adekunle Ajasin.
He was arraigned and tried before Buhari’s punitive tribunal but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his re-trial. Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a single crime, so once again he was returned for trial, only to be acquitted of all charges of corruption or abuse of office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby released? No! He was ordered detained indefinitely, simply for the crime of winning an election and refusing to knuckle under Shagari’s reign of terror.
The conduct of the Buhari regime after his coup was not merely one of double, triple, multiple standards but a cynical travesty of justice. Audu Ogbeh, currently chairman of the Action Congress was one of the few figures of rectitude within the NPN. Just as he has done in recent times with the PDP, he played the role of an internal critic and reformer, warning,dissenting, and setting an example of probity within his ministry.
For that crime he spent months in unjust incarceration. Guilty by association? Well, if that was the motivating yardstick of the administration of the Buhari justice, then it was most selectively applied.
The utmost severity of the Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially reserved either for the opposition in general, or for those within the ruling party who had showed the sheerest sense of responsibility and patriotism. Shall I remind this nation of Buhari’s deliberate humiliating treatment of the Emir of Kano and the Oni of Ife over their visit to the state of Israel?
I hold no brief for traditional rulers and their relationship with governments, but insist on regarding them as entitled to all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of any Nigerian citizen. This royal duo went to Israel on their private steam and private business.
Simply because the Buhari regime was pursuing some antagonistic foreign policy towards Israel, a policy of which these traditional rulers were not a part, they were subjected on their return to a treatment that could only be described as a head masterly chastisement of errant pupils.
Since when, may one ask, did a free citizen of the Nigerian nation require the permission of a head of state to visit a foreign nation that was willing to offer that tourist a visa.? One is only too aware that some Nigerians love to point to Buhari’s agenda of discipline as the shining jewel in his scrap-iron crown.
To inculcate discipline however, one must lead by example, obeying laws set down as guides to public probity. Example speaks louder than declarations, and rulers cannot exempt themselves from the disciplinary strictures imposed on the overall polity, especially on any issue that seeks to establish a policy for public well-being.

OpenAI Launchs Health in ChatGPT for US Users, Integrates Apple Health and Medical Records

OpenAI has officially launched Health in ChatGPT for users in the United States, introducing a new feature that enables eligible adults to securely connect their Apple Health data and supported medical records directly within ChatGPT. The rollout is currently available to users aged 18 and above on the web and iOS platforms.
The feature allows users to import information such as medical records, laboratory results, medications, allergies, fitness activity, sleep data, and other health metrics from Apple Health and participating healthcare providers. ChatGPT can then use this information to provide more personalised explanations and help users better understand their health information.
OpenAI said users remain in control of their information, with connected health data protected through additional encryption and excluded from training the company’s AI models. The company also emphasised that Health in ChatGPT is designed to complement—not replace—professional medical advice or clinical care.
The launch marks a significant expansion of OpenAI’s healthcare ambitions, aiming to help users prepare for medical appointments, understand test results, organise health records, and receive contextual explanations based on their personal data. Support is expected to expand to additional healthcare providers over time.
The rollout comes amid growing discussions about the role of artificial intelligence in healthcare, with experts welcoming the technology’s potential while continuing to stress the importance of consulting qualified healthcare professionals for diagnosis, treatment, and emergency medical decisions.

Tinubu Approves Largest Nigerian Army Expansion in Decades
President Bola Tinubu has approved what is being described as Nigeria’s most significant military expansion in recent decades, authorising the Nigerian Army to grow from eight to 12 divisions alongside the recruitment of 28,000 additional personnel. The move is aimed at strengthening the country’s response to persistent security challenges.
According to the Presidency, the expansion forms part of a broader effort to modernise the Armed Forces through increased manpower, improved troop welfare, enhanced operational readiness, and the acquisition of critical military equipment. The government says the reforms are intended to improve the military’s capacity to combat insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, communal violence, and other security threats across the country.
Under the new structure, four additional divisions will be established in Makurdi, Ilorin, Jalingo, and Benin City. The first phase, covering the creation of the 5th, 9th, and 10th Divisions, is expected to be completed by September 2026, while the second phase, including the establishment of the 83rd Division, is scheduled for completion by December 2026.
Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga said the expansion would improve command and control, decentralise operational decision-making, strengthen border security, enhance the protection of critical national infrastructure, and enable faster military responses to emerging threats nationwide.
President Tinubu also commended the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Ibrahim Shuaibu, as well as officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army for their dedication and professionalism. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to ensuring the Armed Forces remain adequately equipped and prepared to safeguard Nigeria’s sovereignty and protect its citizens.
