Nigerians aren't asking for much. We just need a country that actually works for all of us.
Combined, the economic reforms of Atiku Abubakar and the unyielding project execution of Rotimi Amaechi offer Nigerians the best path forward.
Let’s break the cycle of failure and make Nigeria rise again.

The Ticket That Will Fix Nigeria's Deep Divisions 🇳🇬
More than any other thing, politicians and political leaders have the greatest responsibility of uniting us as a people. The reasoning behind this is simple; politicians have divided us along ethnic, regional and religious lines more than any other group since independence.
The challenge with this division is that execution of policies and projects as well seeking solutions to the myriad of issues that bedevil us as a people is only done through the dirty lens of ethnicity and religion, robbing the nation of the best plans and the best minds, while opening up our flanks to external factors that accelerate our downfall.
The politicisation of insecurity is guaranteed in this type of environment. As a result, citizens suffer endlessly under the debilitating effects of insecurity while leaders blame their opponents or an entire tribe for the security lapses.
Never have we brazenly been so divided as we have by this present administration. Conversation has shifted under the direction of the incumbent from the impact or non impact Governmental policies and plans to the puerile issue of which regions' turn it is to be President.
The holding of an office does not necessarily benefit the generality of the people of that region. It mostly benefits those who are close to the holders of the office in question.
What benefits the people is the policies, plans and projects of the Government in power.
We are in a crisis of Government at the moment. Issues concerning the home base of the President are treated with a different standard compared to the rest of the country.
The last administration returned us to a January-December budget cycle.
This administration has the record for the most budgets run in a year, with the lowest cash backing releases ever. Ethnic and Regional biases have been amplified to the high heavens under this administration, as a means to retain political power.
This is where the ADC's A-Team comes into play. If we agree that uniting people and building consensus goes beyond mere platitudes, then the ADC has fielded the only ticket capable of uniting Nigerians.
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar GCON has by his actions over the past 6 decades demonstrated a strong belief in the unity of Nigeria. As a politician, he counts amongst his close allies Nigerians of diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds. His educational scholarships cuts across tribes and regions, targeting vulnerable children who would otherwise have found it difficult to get quality education. As a businessman, his businesses are spread across the country, all having positive impact on their local communities. As a politician and Vice President, he championed economic reforms that benefitted the entire country in real time.
Rotimi Amaechi as Governor did not prioritise one section of Rivers State over others. He gave each community, each LGA, the same quality and standard of projects. His RSSDA overseas scholarship scheme deliberately targeted children of the less privileged and brought so many families out of poverty. As Minister, his projects were spread across the country, so much so he was accused of "abandoning his people." Wagon Assembly plant in Kajola, Ogun State, University of Transportation in Daura, Katsina, Inland Ports in Baro, Niger State, Kaduna, Kaduna State, Onitsha, Anambra State, Ibadan, Oyo State, Railway Yard in Agbor, Delta State etc.
Individually, these two individuals have demonstrated an understanding of the deep divisions that exist and have effectively utilised governmental power in a sincere attempt to heal these divisions. Collectively, they will do more.
The A Team is forged for this very moment. This is Nigeria's most dynamic Presidential ticket ever.

ATIKU – AMAECHI 🇳🇬
Excuses Won’t Fix Nigeria. Execution Will.
Imagine running a business. You interview a new guy who says, "I can't tell you what I'll do until I get the job." Then you review your current manager, and he says, "I’m still trying to understand the problem, so give me 4 more years to fix it." You’d kick them both out of your office!
So why accept it for Nigeria?
The competition is a choice between an ongoing wreck and a future trainwreck. Atiku–Amaechi is the only ticket running on a proven track record of actual results.

ADC PRIMARIES 📍
13 DAYS TO GO!! 🇳🇬
Four years ago, one man stood on stage and declared, "Don't vote for me if I am not qualified; judge me by my performance."
He presented the receipts:
- Over 1,780 km of rail, Nigeria's first deep seaport, 300+ new schools, and 160 health centers.
- Over 40,000 direct jobs created at the state level and 11,000 direct maritime and rail jobs nationwide.
- Frameworks that ended insecurity at the state level and the national maritime sector.
Rotimi Amaechi possessed the track record from Rivers State and the Ministry of Transport to scale success from Day 1. Yet, the political class chose "sentiment" over "demonstrated capacity," prioritizing "whose turn it was" over the only candidate treating the presidency as a duty of service to deliver results for all Nigerians.
Now, we are paying the price through stalled projects and economic drift.
Every time you encounter heightened insecurity on our highways, rising food costs, or persistent power grid failures, remember that 4 years ago, we lost the opportunity to break the cycle of failure.
Amaechi remains the most qualified because he has already done at the state and federal levels what others only promise to do.
With years wasted, Nigeria cannot afford to prioritize "potential" or "political patronage" over "performance" again.
To move forward in the next cycle, we must start voting for results.
We are back again, please don't be tired of us:
HOW NIGERIA ADDED TERRITORY WITHOUT WAR, LITIGATION, AND THE UNSUNG HEROES.
With the important announcement of the accession of United Nations to the nation’s request for the extension of the country’s Continnental Shelf a few days ago, no one should be in doubt any longer about the rising capacities of Nigeria in the emerging geopolitical equation, globally.
Adnan Rashid Nasser Al-Azri, chairman of the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS), who disclosed the development said following a successful submission, Nigeria’s continental shelf had now been extended from 200 nautical miles to 220 nautical miles.
The government of Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu promptly acknowledged this and praises the UN for acceding to the nation’s request.
The continental shelf of a sovereign state comprises the seabed and subsoil of the submarine areas that extend beyond its land territory to the outer edge of the continental margin.
The effort to extend, as much as possible, Nigeria’s continental shelf began with a submission on 9th May, 2009 following new rules of engagement in accordance with Article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982.
According to the Convention, Littoral States that pass the test of appurtenance qualify to make applications backed by geological and geophysical data to the United Nations.
On that day, Nigeria made a submission for an extended Continental shelf to the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS), the UN body made up of twenty-one experts from all over the world charged with the responsibility of examining and approving all applications for an extended continental shelf. According to the country’s Ministry of Justice, Nigeria's submission had teething problems right from the onset. The UN Subcommission appointed by the CLCS to consider Nigeria’s submission after its initial examination queried so many aspects, including the qualifier test of appurtenance and requested for more data and information in order to proceed with the consideration.
From the time the submission was made in May 2009, the project virtually came to a standstill because of lack of funds, and the UN Subcommission kept sending invitations to Nigeria to submit the data it requested, and also respond to the queries it posed, but the country could do none of these because there were no funds to conduct the data collection surveys.
This lull spurred the Nigerian Senate at its sitting on 14th February 2013, having recognized the causes of the delays, to make resolutions, asking Government to fund the project and constitute an independent technical body to manage the Extended Continental Shelf Project and to cut out bureaucracies of government.
When President Muhammadu Buhari came in 2015, the Project was at a standstill, and when he was briefed on 4th November 2015 by the National Boundary Commission, he immediately constituted the High Powered Presidential Committee on Nigeria’s Extended Continental Shelf Project (HPPC) on 5thNovember 2015.
He named the then Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami to chair the committee, with Surveyor Aliyu Omar as Member/Secretary. Other members of the Committee included Professor Lawrence Awosika (the Chairman of the UNCLCS at that time, himself a Nigerian), Mr. Lufadeju Aderinola from the Department of Petroleum Resources, Dr. Regina Folorunsho from the Nigerian Institute of Oceanography, Rear Admiral Chukwuemeka E. Okafor, the Hydrographer of the Nigerian Navy, Mr. Victor John from the Federal Ministry of Environment, Mr. Zachariah M. Ifu from the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Director General, National Boundary Commission, Dr. M. B. Ahmad.
@Magixlamy_@SoprialaMembere@jamilausuf Your papa's papa is mad
Your generation is mad and so unfortunate...
You abused and blocked me so I can't see it... stinking coward
Very low low animal, you can't engage people constructively because you lack the capacity to do so...
Please get yourself a bed at yabaleft 😂
If the political and business leaders of Rivers State begin to deliberately and sincerely invest in the younger generation, then over the course of the next 2 decades we’ll be able to get things right, if not…..
My people, you are always my priority. YOU are the ones that need to be compensated. No other deal can justify the lives taken unjustly. Families lost their loved ones while they were trying to exercise their rights and this is acrid. Our mandate was stolen from us and we must

I have signed Executive Order No. 14 of 2023 on the Facilitation and Management of Presidential Transitions. The new Executive Order puts in place a legal framework for the seamless transition of power from one Presidential Administration to another.
Let's be reminded that the N100 notes are still valid. They were not redesigned. Come Feb 1, (if the CBN doesn't extend), you can still use your N100 notes to transact business. The only challenge is that you will need a lot of N100 notes to pay for transactions. Be guided.
