Truck driver compares security checkpoints across Northern Nigeria, from Kaduna to Lokoja, Kogi State, with those in the Eastern part of the country, as he documents his entire journey, including the task force officers he encountered along the way.
“I didn’t go to National TV to please the government; I only went there to tell the truth. I don’t have to respond to those att@cking me on social media because other Nigerians have spoken on my behalf. I’m 82 years old, and I’m not afraid of anyone.”

Those Seeking to be Addressed as “His Excellency” Must Behave Excellently
Yesterday, I joined other presidential candidates to sign the first National Peace Accord for the 2027 Presidential Elections.
My signing of the accord is a reinforcement of my continued commitment to insisting that we, as candidates, must conduct ourselves in a way that reflects the office we aspire to. Leaders must eschew all forms of violent rhetoric and rein in their followers to do the same.
The next elections must be strictly based on the issues that matter to Nigerians: unity, insecurity, pulling people out of poverty, reducing the number of out-of-school children, and restoring hope to the long-suffering people of our country.
Our supporters must see that we have all committed to free, fair, and credible elections based on issues and devoid of rancour.
Those of us wishing to be addressed as “His Excellency” must behave excellently, and, more importantly, the process of attaining public office must be excellent.
We take very seriously the commitment of INEC to free, fair, and credible elections, as well as the pledge by law enforcement agencies to remain unbiased throughout the electioneering process.
I call on my supporters to remain firm, determined, and peaceful.

NOBODY SHOULD TAKE THE BODY OF CHRIST FOR GRANTED!‼️
To the agents of the devil in our nation 🇳🇬, in the name of Jesus, the Lord rebuke you, and the devil that spoke through you and everything that you represent.
The Body of Christ is here, and will be here for a very long time. So, repent, have a change of mindset, and turn away from every opposition against the Church. The Church of Jesus Christ will continue to stand, prevail, and advance in the power of God! 🔥👏
Tinubu and Wike are intentionally destroying Abuja.
Children are now trekking miles with yellow jerrycans for water before dawn instead of going to school, while Maitama, Wuse, Asokoro, and Guzape are reduced to scavenging from wheelbarrows as boreholes run dry.
With water reportedly diverted for private construction and pipes destroyed by unplanned building, people are forced to drink and bathe less, even missing school runs.
Here’s a thread of our sustained reporting on the failure of Abuja's water supply under Wike.

Yesterday, I continued my trip to Kogi State. I travelled to Onugba Ukoh in Olomaboro Local Government Area. There, I visited Mater Spei Model Nursery and Primary School, a facility made possible by the generous support of international donors.
It was a privilege to lay the foundation stone for the planned Mater Spei Secondary, Technical, and Vocational School. This significant undertaking is designed to enable young people from the local and surrounding communities to pursue their education while simultaneously gaining the technical and vocational expertise necessary for them to become self-sufficient and contributing members of society.
I extend my sincere appreciation to the proprietor and management for their visionary leadership, foresight, and dedication to investing in the education of our youth. I also conveyed my commitment to supporting this commendable initiative.
The imperative for continuous and strategic investment in education across our nation cannot be stressed enough. In a context where approximately 20 million Nigerian children are not enrolled in school, every endeavour to broaden educational access warrants encouragement and backing.
Education serves as the bedrock upon which we can construct a nation characterised by productivity, innovation, and prosperity. It is the platform from which an individual from humble beginnings can achieve prominence, irrespective of personal connections.
