While in Akwa Ibom, I paid a courtesy call to the Government House in Uyo, where I was warmly received by my dear sister, Her Excellency Senator Akon Eyakenyi, Deputy Governor of Akwa Ibom State.
Our meeting provided an opportunity to lay the foundation for the forthcoming Memorandum of Understanding between the Federal Government and Akwa Ibom State under the Renewed Hope Cultural Project.
The initiative reflects President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision of working with states to harness their cultural and tourism assets, create economic opportunities and support the broader diversification of our economy.
I appreciated the warm reception, From what I experienced during my visit, Akwa Ibom is ready for tourism, with tremendous potential to attract visitors, create jobs and drive economic opportunities. I must commend the leadership of the state, ably led by His Excellency, Governor Umo Eno, for the work being done to position Akwa Ibom for greater growth. I look forward to returning soon for the signing of the MoU and to taking this partnership forward.

Wike lampoons Rotimi Amaechi over Amaechi’s ridiculous claim that President Tinubu’s policies made him unable to buy the drugs to save his old mother. Amaechi has shown how terribly low he can go to play his politics. Such a man cannot be entrusted, along with his boss, who has a box full of corruption and money-laundering cases, to pilot the affairs of our country. In any way, we need not worry. Amaechi had said that his principal, Atiku Abubakar, is unelectable.
Hon. Abdulazeez Abubakar Kaka @Abunaah , Zonal Director Youth Mobilization Northwest Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), and Zonal Coordinator, City Boy Movement Northwest, Nigeria, attended the UN Youth Townhall Side Event organised by the UN Youth Office in collaboration with the Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations during the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
At the engagement, Hon. Kaka spoke on the importance of youth empowerment, inclusion and creating meaningful opportunities for young people to participate in leadership, entrepreneurship, skills development and community transformation.
He emphasised that young people should not be viewed merely as beneficiaries of development, but as active participants and partners in building stronger communities and nations. He also highlighted the need for programmes that equip young people with the skills, opportunities and platforms required to become self-reliant and contribute meaningfully to society.
His participation at the global youth platform provided an opportunity to connect the experiences and aspirations of young Nigerians, particularly those from the Northwest, with broader international conversations on youth development and empowerment.
From the grassroots to the global stage, empowering young people means investing in the future.

North Central Mobilises Votes for President Tinubu, plans grand rally in Lafia
Leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress from Nigeria’s North Central region have launched the North Central Grassroots Mobilisation Movement to support President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima's re-election in 2027.
At the movement’s inaugural meeting, held at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation in Abuja on Friday, Senator George Akume, CON, commended the movement’s national coordinator, Arc. Sonny S.T. Echono, for bringing the forum to fruition.
He said the North Central has the overriding objective of delivering the highest regional vote total for President Tinubu.
Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State also commended the initiative as timely and observed that the challenges ahead of the 2027 election were gradually receding, adding that the latest voter register indicated strong support for the APC in the North Central region.
He expressed confidence that the region would deliver the highest number of votes for the President and other candidates contesting under the APC platform.
He noted that the political strength of the North Central, which currently boasts the SGF, the National Chairman of the APC and several key political appointees, was significantly stronger than it was ahead of the last election.
He said the region would leverage the North Central Grassroots Mobilisation Movement for Tinubu/Shettima to take the party’s message to the grassroots and mobilise support across the region.
Arc. Echono said the conversation was no longer simply about whether President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would win the North Central but about the region positioning itself to deliver the highest number of votes to the President in the 2027 election.
Echono commended the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, the North Central Governors’ Forum and other critical stakeholders across the region for their steadfast commitment and support for the Renewed Hope Administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He said the forum would serve as a formidable launchpad and strategic mobilisation platform, bringing together political leaders, grassroots actors and other stakeholders across the North Central under a shared vision and common purpose ahead of the 2027 elections.
Information Minister, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, described the movement as the first of its kind.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the forum resolved to intensify mobilisation of support for President Tinubu in 2027, to deliver the region’s highest vote total.
It also agreed to organise a grand rally in Lafia, Nasarawa State, alongside a medical outreach programme, the establishment of a Reconciliation Committee and the organisation of town hall meetings across the region.
The forum resolved that the Minister of Information would collaborate with State Commissioners for Information, State Publicity Secretaries and state publicity committees to increase awareness of the initiative, with the support of the state governors.
