Sheikh Jingir’s Statement on the Muslim-Muslim Ticket Belongs to Him, His Belly and His Pockets – Yusuf

The statement reeks of religious bigotry, and a leader of that stature, given the length of time he has been an Islamic cleric, should know that just a word from him can sink Nigeria. It is unacceptable.

SENATOR FRANCIS FADAHUNSI’S INCENDIARY RHETORIC AHEAD OF THE OSUN ELECTION

I wish to express my deep regret, and profound concern regarding the recent inflammatory comments and threat-laden rhetoric attributed to Senator Francis Fadahunsi in the lead-up to the Osun State election on Saturday.

As a high-ranking lawmaker representing the people in the National Assembly, Senator Fadahunsi carries a solemn constitutional and moral responsibility to promote peace, uphold democratic norms, and foster unity. It is therefore alarming and unacceptable that a distinguished senator would deploy intimidation, incendiary remarks, or political threats capable of heightening tensions, instilling fear in voters, and potentially inciting electoral violence in Osun State.

Elections are meant to be a celebration of democratic franchise - a peaceful exercise through which citizens freely choose their leaders without intimidation, harassment, or coercion. Resorting to threats of force or disruption undermines the integrity of our electoral process, disrespects the electorate, and threatens the fragile peace of the state.

I therefore respectfully demand that Senator Fadahunsi retract these harmful statements and tender an apology to the peaceful people of Osun State.

All political leaders, stakeholders, and party loyalists across party lines must exercise the utmost restraint, moderate their language, and recommit themselves to peace and democratic decorum.

The relevant security agencies must closely monitor inflammatory statements and ensure equal protection for all citizens, election officials, and voters before, during, and after the polls.

The democratic mandate belongs to the people, and no individual, regardless of status or political office, should attempt to subvert the will of the people through fear or coercion.

I urge the good people of Osun State to remain calm, peaceful, and resolute as they exercise their constitutional civic duty at the polls.

Getting elections right is a necessary step towards a New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO

By Making Excuses for Unverified Certificates, We Are Planting Poison in the Soul of Our Society

A nation that tolerates unverified academic credentials at any level of leadership, regardless of who is involved, risks destroying the very standards upon which a society is built. The issue is not about an individual. It is about standards, accountability, and the values we choose to pass on to the next generation.

We cannot continue to excuse blurred, missing, questionable, or unverified credentials simply because they belong to someone we support. The process through which people attain positions of responsibility matters greatly. How we get into leadership is as important as what we do with leadership.

If we normalise the abandonment of basic verification today, tomorrow we may have professors who never attended a university, doctors who never studied medicine, and judges who never studied law.

That is the dangerous precedent we must never allow. Nigeria cannot sacrifice its future on the altar of today's transactional politics. We must build a society where truth is not partisan, standards are not negotiable, and accountability applies equally to everyone.

History will judge us not only by those we defended, but by the principles we were willing to defend. We must choose truth over convenience, standards over sentiments, and the future over political expediency.

A New Nigeria is possible, but only if we are willing to do the right thing, even when it is inconvenient. -PO

I am deeply concerned by the comments made by Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir at an event in Kano this weekend.

At this critical moment in our nation’s history, statements that promote division and disunity must be firmly discouraged. It is particularly troubling to hear such rhetoric from a religious leader of Sheikh Jingir’s stature and influence.

Let it be clearly stated: the good people of Kano do not endorse or support these divisive remarks.

Political and religious leaders alike carry a solemn responsibility to uphold truth, foster unity, and advance reconciliation. We must not lend our voices to utterances capable of undermining the very foundation of our nationhood.

The 2027 general elections will be an opportunity for Nigerians to reward good governance with resounding support and to reject poor performance at the polls. This administration has earned the latter.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. - RMK

Nigeria Failed to Do a Transitioning From Country to Nation - Ezekwesili

Now, we don’t even have the full set of parameters that define a country, and it is depressing. Nigeria struggles on a number of the parameters that the UN uses to define a country.

Building a New Nigeria Through Education, Healthcare, and Responsible Citizenship

Yesterday, I visited Faith Foundation College of Nursing Sciences, Nsukka, where I was delighted to witness the remarkable progress of the projects currently under construction.

The proprietor shared something deeply encouraging. He revealed that it was my initial support to the institution, particularly my earlier donations, that gave them the confidence to commence many of the projects now taking shape.

In continuation of my commitment to improving healthcare and supporting the training of quality health professionals, I presented the institution with an additional cheque of ₦10 million to support the ongoing projects and assured them of my continued support until the vision is fully realised.

Thereafter, I joined the participants at the 68th Annual Conference of Anglican Youths at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, Nsukka, where I encouraged the young people to embrace their responsibility in building a new Nigeria.

I reminded them that the Nigeria we desire cannot become a reality unless they actively participate in shaping its future. I urged them to reject politics based on tribe, religion, or language and instead insist on electing leaders of proven character, competence, capacity, integrity, and ethical values.

Our future depends not only on the leaders we produce but also on the standards we demand. Together, we can build the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
