Today, May 9th, I attended the 1st convention of my latest party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Abuja, Nigeria. The convention was successful and continued to show the resilience of Nigerians to change
I express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the NDC family, led by the distinguished Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, for inviting us and for the generosity of spirit with which they have accommodated us at this critical moment in our national journey.
I also wish to express profound gratitude to the African Democratic Congress(ADC), particularly Distinguished Senator David Mark, for providing a democratic platform and showing uncommon understanding when the ongoing litigation forced us out of the Labour Party and the New Nigeria People's Party, NNPP respectively. That spirit of solidarity must remain the foundation upon which a better Nigeria will be built.
Today, the most painful aspect of our political existence is that many who once benefited from democratic governance have now become willing accessories to the destruction of democracy itself. Those who once fought for justice now openly celebrate electoral injustice. Those who once spoke against impunity now defend coercion, manipulation, intimidation, and outright political gangsterism, especially against opposition voices. What we are witnessing is not politics; it is a systematic assault on democracy and the will of the people.
Nigeria today stands at a dangerous crossroads. Our democracy is under severe threat. Our nation is drifting without direction, and our people are passing through immense suffering. Across the world, Nigeria is increasingly described as a failing and disgraced nation. This is not the destiny God ordained for our great country. It was not always so, and it must never be allowed to remain so.
Across virtually every recognised indicator of good governance - accountability, political stability, rule of law, control of corruption, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and the separation of powers - Nigeria continues to record alarming failures. The institutions that should protect the people are weakening daily, while the burden on ordinary citizens grows heavier with each passing moment.
Today, over 140 million Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty. Tens of millions of young people remain unemployed or underemployed. Inflation continues to crush families. Businesses are shutting down. Farmers can no longer safely access their farms. Communities live in fear. In this month alone, hundreds of innocent Nigerians have lost their lives to insecurity, while many others have been kidnapped, displaced, or thrown deeper into poverty.
The most heartbreaking question confronting us is this: Who consoles the grieving mother whose child was abducted on the way to school? Who speaks for the father who can no longer feed his family despite working every day? Who defends the young Nigerian whose dreams have been destroyed by a nation that rewards connections over competence and corruption over character?
Our present tragedy is not accidental. It is the direct consequence of years of deliberate sabotage by a political class that prospers by dividing the people and weakening the nation. Nigeria is not a poor country; rather, we are being looted into poverty. We have abundant human and natural resources, yet we remain trapped in deprivation because leadership has failed to place the common good above personal interest.
Our choice as a people is therefore clear: whether to surrender to despair and national decline, or to summon the courage to rescue our country and rebuild it on the foundations of unity, equity, justice, competence, and productivity.
PRESS RELEASE
8th May, 2026
The Kwankwasiyya Movement has taken note of the growing public discussion surrounding the political understanding and possible strategic cooperation between our national leader and His Excellency Peter Obi under the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
While Nigerians across regions, religions, and political divides have largely welcomed the development as a positive step toward national unity and democratic consolidation, it is unfortunate that some commentators particularly from sections of the Northern political establishment have resorted to selective attacks and misleading narratives aimed specifically at discrediting Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
What appears to be troubling certain interests is not merely the possibility of political cooperation, but the enormous national potential such an alliance represents.
For the first time in recent political history, Nigerians are witnessing the realistic possibility of a broad-based political understanding capable of bridging the long-standing regional divide in opposition politics. Senator Kwankwaso commands one of the most disciplined and organic grassroots political structures in Northern Nigeria, particularly across Kano and the Northwest, while Peter Obi continues to enjoy massive support among youths, urban voters, and large sections of Southern Nigeria.
Naturally, the prospect of both leaders working together introduces a completely new political equation one that transcends ethnicity, religion, and regional sentiment.
This explains the panic in certain quarters.
Unfortunately, rather than objectively analyzing the implications of such national realignment, some commentators have chosen to launch targeted attacks against Senator Kwankwaso, portraying him unfairly as ambitious or disruptive, while describing similar political engagements by others as strategic and patriotic.
This double standard is both unfortunate and revealing.
The truth is simple: any honest political observer understands that the coming together of two leaders with proven electoral strength, independent political structures, and massive youth appeal has the capacity to fundamentally reshape Nigeria’s democratic landscape.
Those attempting to dismiss this reality are not engaging in analysis; they are expressing political fear.
It is important to emphasize that Senator Kwankwaso has consistently demonstrated political courage, independence, and commitment to the democratic aspirations of ordinary Nigerians. His political relevance is not manufactured by media houses or sustained by access to federal power. It is rooted in years of service, grassroots connection, and the trust of millions of Nigerians, especially among the youth and lower-income population.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement therefore rejects the ongoing attempt to reduce a potentially historic national political alignment into petty elite propaganda and personality attacks.
Nigeria today faces enormous economic, security, and governance challenges. Citizens are increasingly demanding issue-based politics, national inclusion, competent leadership, and a credible alternative capable of restoring hope and confidence in the democratic process.
Any political understanding that seeks to unite Nigerians across regional and political lines should be encouraged rather than demonized.
We urge commentators and political stakeholders to embrace fairness, maturity, and national interest in their engagements. Democracy thrives through coalition-building, inclusion, and healthy political competition — not through selective hostility and orchestrated narratives targeted at individuals whose growing acceptance threatens established interests.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement remains confident, focused, and fully committed to the democratic future of Nigeria. We believe the Nigerian people deserve a political environment built on unity, mutual respect, and constructive national engagement.
I ask you, my people, to empower me as your president and commander-in-chief. I will be in charge. I have the requirements for correct leadership: character, competence, commitment, compassion, hard work, honesty, humanity, and humility.
What kind of country is this

Sections 63, 138 of Electoral Act Dangerous Will Sabotage Voting at Polling Level - Igini
Section 63 of the 2026 Electoral Act has reintroduced something very dangerous: a ballot paper used for the 2027 election that does not bear INEC’s official manufacturer and security features may be accepted by the presiding officer. By implication, the presiding officer has been given the discretion to accept ballot papers notwithstanding the absence of the official mark, and to count such ballot papers. What that means is that politicians who have access to INEC’s serial and security features could produce their own ballot papers.
