I have watched videos showing what appears to be a state-sponsored blockade and attack on NDC presidential candidate @PeterObi as he attempted to enter the state capital to carry out legitimate campaign activities.
I strongly condemn these acts of political brigandage by agents of the state government and the Tinubu regime. This is totally unacceptable.
No candidate should be prevented through violence, intimidation or state-sponsored thuggery from campaigning freely anywhere in Nigeria. Those behind these cowardly attacks are toying with fire and threatening the democratic rights of all Nigerians.
They must desist immediately before it is too late
I am deeply disturbed by the attack on the convoy of our presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as he travelled to Benue State.
The deliberate mobilisation of unruly elements to block and attack his convoy and prevent him from entering Makurdi marks another dark day for our democracy.
Authorities must remember that the Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to freedom of movement. This right applies even more strongly to Mr Obi, a former governor and leading opposition figure.
The Benue State Government must, as a matter of urgency, ensure that those responsible are swiftly identified and prosecuted. It must also guarantee the safety and free movement of our candidate and his entourage.
I further urge the President to caution state governors, particularly those in his party against any actions that could undermine the sanctity of our democracy.
I also call on the international community, including diplomatic missions and election observation groups, to take note of this incident and to urge Nigerian authorities to uphold the rule of law, protect opposition leaders, and safeguard democratic freedoms. - RMK

The Cowardly Rev. Father, Unfortunate Governor of Benue, Hyacinth Alia, and the Miserable Bunch of Losers in the APC are not just scared they are absolutely disgusting. Lol
At this point, everybody should prepare for war or whatever it is these demons are cooking.🙌🏻

BREAKING NEWS: Cure for sickle cell disorder is now available at sickle cell foundation Nigeria, LUTH. You can get it as a Nigeria 🇳🇬.
The Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria (SCFN), in partnership with Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), offers bone marrow transplantation (also called stem cell transplantation) as a curative treatment for sickle cell disorder (SCD). This is established as a known cure for eligible patients, and the program has been active and performing procedures in Nigeria since around 2024.
“This Morning Around 4:30am, Near Fagba Railway In Lagos, I Encountered 4 Police Officers. They Had Stopped About 3 Cars On The Railway, But None Of Them Stopped Me. I Had Already Driven Past Them When I Suddenly Heard a Loud Noise At The Back Of My Car. One Of The Officers Picked Up a Stone From The Ground And Threw It At My Car, Hitting It And Breaking My Rear Chrome. I Stepped Down From The Car And Noticed The Officer Appeared Drunk. I Asked Him Why He Would Do That As a Professional Police Officer. Instead Of Responding Calmly, He Became Aggressive And Started Fighting Me”. ~ Man Cries Out
I congratulate my friend and brother, @AlikoDangote, on the remarkable achievement of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery reaching its full 650,000 barrels per day capacity.
More importantly, it is transformational for Nigeria and Africa. Supplying up to 75 million litres of PMS daily changes our energy narrative and conserving foreign exchangez
With domestic refining now firmly underway after decades of reliance on imports, pressure on the foreign exchange market should ease significantly. I am optimistic that the naira will strengthen meaningfully, and trading below ₦1,000/$1 before year-end is increasingly within reach.
Aliko is not stopping here. He has embarked on an additional $12 billion expansion to increase refining capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day, alongside 2.4 million tons of polypropylene and 400,000 metric tons of Linear Alkyl Benzene for detergent production. Work has already commenced in earnest.
Congratulations once again, my brother. Nigeria is proud of you 🏭🙌🏾… F.Ote💲
The Senate committed a COUP against our Democracy and the Nigerian people yesterday.
Let me again remind the Senators that it is not wise to play with fire.
It simply is not wise.
Transparency is always better.
My fellow Citizens, let nobody deceive or confuse you.
What all well-meaning Nigerians want passed by the National Assembly @nassnigeria - @SenateNGR and @HouseNGR as @inecnigeria Reform is a Bill which legally mandates electronic transmission of polling units results in real time and without any CONDITIONS attached.
What we want is what the members of the House of Representatives have already passed with this simple and HONEST text:
“Clause 60(3): “INEC shall electronically transmit election results from polling units to the INEC Result Viewing Portal in real time and such transmission shall be done simultaneously with the physical collation of results.”
Period!
No ifs, no buts, no whataboutism and no provisos.
The proviso below that the Senate added to Clause60(3) :
“If electronic transmission fails or becomes impossible to use, the signed Form EC8A shall be the primary source of election results”
IS A GRAVE DANGER TO OUR DEMOCRACY.
It will permanently damage the same Transparency that we as Citizens are demanding for in all our Election Results.
Your vote and mine CAN NEVER COUNT with such deceptive and ill-intended proviso by the Senate.
The Senators know what they are doing.
They simply don’t want TRANSPARENCY.
Transparency through electronic transmission of results in real time at each polling unit will END their opportunity to RIG our elections.
Fellow Nigerians, know this for real, @SenateNGR is determined to hijack Nigeria’s Democracy and continue with their Bad Governance that is perpetuating Poverty among Nigerians and killings across our Land.
We, the Citizens of Nigeria and not politicians are the REAL OWNERS of Democracy.
We must collectively stand to defend our rights to TRANSPARENCY.
Our Girls Guide motto when we were in Secondary School is:
Be Prepared. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
Getting @alexottiofr re-elected should be a strategic southeast project, not only for Abians alone.
When I met with Otti I told him that for too long Igbos have boasted they can changed Nigeria. This is time to prove it by changing Abia. He is doing it. He has to be protected.
If any firm associated with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is collecting federal taxes, then it's an abhorrent affront on all Nigerians
It's corruption in the public space
This one I will track and talk
Wow. This is really worrying.
This tweet should be everywhere.
I don’t know why this facts revealed in this tweet here doesn’t really bother anyone.
I’m sharing in hope more people will see.
The President, Ministers, Governors, Senators, House of representatives members and every other public official work for Nigerians!!!
Everyone of you!! And all of you are and should be made accountable to the people of Nigeria!!!
You people better WAKE UP
Nigerians are waking up to yet another terrorist attack on a church in Kwara state. We have a tone deaf President, a callous and irresponsible Government surrounded by the worst set of lunatics whose sycophancy and deception have made this country unbearable for the People!!!
Nigeria is turning into a crime scene. Bandits storm churches to kill and abduct Christians. Children are kidnapped from schools. A Brigadier General is shot dead. Every day brings fresh chaos yet the government remains silent.
How did we get here? And must outsiders come to fix what our leaders refuse to confront?
Which way Nigeria? We need safety, accountability and real action, not silence.
