Denmark’s richest businessman and Chief Executive Officer of Bestseller, Anders Holch Povlsen, visited President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday at the State House in Abuja.
Naijaonpoint reports that the Special Adviser to President Tinubu, on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, made this known in a post via his 𝕏 handle.
Povlsen, who also chairs the Bestseller Foundation, was accompanied by Denmark’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Jens Hansen, and other senior Danish officials.
Also present were the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani.
Onanuga wrote, “Denmark’s richest man, Mr Anders Holch Povlsen of BESTSELLER & BESTSELLER FOUNDATION, visited President Bola Tinubu at the State House, Abuja, Tuesday, October 28, 2025.”
In other news, former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has asserted that Tinubu’s administration is allergic to accountability and fearful of citizens’ voices.
Ezekwesili, in a post on X titled ‘A Memo To Nigerians: A Call to Collective Voice on the Shrinking Civic Space and Erosion of Citizens’ Rights in Nigeria’, accused Tinubu’s government of stifling civic freedoms and eroding citizens’ rights.
The former Minister also urged Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to publicly apologise to EiE Nigeria’s Executive Director, Yemi Adamolekun, and another activist, Ms Nafziger.
According to Ezekwesili, the latest wave of action against citizens by the state security agencies reflects a deeply troubling trend of shrinking civic space and state intolerance of dissent.
Ezekwesili cited three “disturbing cases,” including the harassment of Adamolekun during a peaceful memorial for #EndSARS victims, the police clampdown on protesters supporting Nnamdi Kanu, and the repeated arrest of Sowore despite a valid court order granting him bail.
She urged Nigerians to rise in defence of their democratic rights, stressing that sovereignty belongs to the people and not to government officials.
