LAGOS STATE_ : REAFFIRMING COMMITMENT TO PEACE, ELECTORAL INTEGRITY AMID POLITICAL INTIMIDATION
Yesterday, 12th November 2026, I arrived in Lagos from Abuja to attend the commendation service of my very dear elder brother, Chief Sir Okey Ezibe, KSC, which took place at Our Saviour’s Church, Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, as part of the activities leading to the funeral of the distinguished businessman and people-builder.
At the close of the service, I proceeded to Oregun to join our supporters and participants at the Lagos State edition of our ongoing series of town hall meetings across the country.
Earlier, I had been informed that a group of thugs had mobilised to attack participants who arrived early for the meeting. Let me reiterate that the political violence being enabled by certain political actors against our supporters is an ill wind that blows no one any good. Anarchy consumes everyone. We will remain law-abiding, even in the face of extreme provocation.
Despite the disruption and the concerns surrounding the event, we proceeded with our town hall meeting. As usual, participants raised important questions and concerns about reviving the economy, reducing the high cost of living, tackling endemic corruption, addressing insecurity, caring for vulnerable citizens, and protecting the integrity of our elections.
In my remarks, I emphasised that the first responsibility of any government is to secure the country and unite its people around a shared purpose. I also outlined our commitment to policies that will reduce the cost of living, improve the welfare of Nigerians, and aggressively invest in critical areas of development, particularly healthcare and education, while addressing poverty and the needs of vulnerable citizens.
On the forthcoming elections, I reminded participants that protecting the integrity of the electoral process is a shared responsibility. Every effort must be made to ensure that votes are properly protected, from the polling unit through ward collation to the final collation and declaration of results.
Our party, the NDC, will also fulfil the responsibility to deploy competent agents to polling units to observe and document the process.
I encouraged our people to eschew violence while remaining peaceful, vigilant, and resolute in defending their democratic rights.
I thank the organisers of the town hall meeting for their efforts. My appreciation also goes to our candidates in Lagos State for their continued dedication and to the good people of Lagos State for their participation and commitment to peaceful democratic engagement.

God has a sense of humour.
The emergence of Peter Obi has exposed our collective hypocrisy as a people. Especially people of faith who claim to love righteousness. No one who calls on the name of the living God should be a supporter of Tinubu.
If we indeed love righteousness, we should be loud and proud about our support for Peter Obi. Thankful for those who are bold because they have not eaten from government coffers.
God has answered Nigerians by giving us a presidential president indeed—A person with the Capacity, Competence and Compassion to move Nigeria forward.
It is now left to us. God has plated his part!
About three years ago, an elderly couple who had lived most of their lives in the United States returned to Nigeria to retire and launch a business.
Three months after their arrival, they shared a testimony in church, expressing that Nigeria was the best place to be, berating
the experience of people who complained about Nigeria.
Fast forward to January 2026, I was contacted by the husband for business consultancy. He complained all through our discussion of how it is difficult to do business here. Then, I know that the reality of Nigeria has
GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Good day, Mr President.
I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.
I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.
Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.
Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.
The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.

The energy at Alimosho was unmistakable and the message was clear: Lagosians are ready for a new direction.
Alongside His Excellency, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, we connected with the people and witnessed their enthusiasm and determination to make their voices count.
This is what people-powered politics looks like.
Not politics from behind closed doors. But leadership that shows up, engages, listens, and stands with the people.
Together, we can build a Lagos that works for everyone.
The people are ready. Lagos is ready. I am ready.
