Yesterday was a momentous day. I had the privilege of standing alongside my principal, Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, at the All Progressives Congress (APC) 8th National Convention in Eagle Square, Abuja. The energy in the square was electric, and it was an honour to be part of this pivotal moment in our party's journey. The convention was a validation to the party's commitment to unity, progress, and the development of our great nation.

We are progressives!

Yesterday, we held stakeholders' meetings across the eleven wards in Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State. As instructed by my principal, Governor @OfficialOAU, we visited the eleven wards to notify them of the forthcoming Local Government Council elections, conveying the Governor's message to them to organize meetings and choose representatives who will best serve their interests.

We emphasized the importance of considering capacity, competence, and character in their selection. The Governor's administration prioritizes the people's decision above any personal interest, ensuring that it's truly time for the people to choose their preferred representatives.

Juma'at Kareem!!

Today, let us reflect on the importance of togetherness.

It is important to know that the believers in their mutual kindness, compassion, and love are like the body; when one limb aches, the whole body responds with sleeplessness and fever.

May Allah unite us in love, compassion, and harmony.

Amin!!!

My journey hasn't been without its challenges, but it's in those moments of trial that I've discovered my strength and resilience. Every obstacle, every failure, and every success has shaped me into the person I am today.
