The tragic death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar in the captivity of bandits is a heartbreaking national tragedy and a stark reminder of the urgent security challenges facing our country.
It is disturbing that a man who dedicated his life to serving and defending Nigeria could become a victim of banditry. His death should not be treated as just another statistic but as an answer wake-up call for stronger and more decisive action against those terrorist bandits and all those behind them.
May Allah forgive his shortcomings, grant him Aljannatul Firdaus, comfort his family and bring lasting peace and security to our nation. Ameen.
Nigerian lawmakers have called for strong diplomatic and economic action against South Africa 🇿🇦 over renewed xenophobic violence.
They urged Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to engage South African authorities and demand better protection for Nigerians.
The House also proposed measures such as suspending diplomatic ties, trade, and aviation agreements, as well as restricting South African businesses operating in Nigeria 🇳🇬.
The attacks have sparked widespread pan-African outrage, with calls for the Pan-African Parliament to strengthen efforts against xenophobia.

@narendramodi The Indian prime minister has never condemned the United States for for starting unprovoked war against Iran.
He is looking for gap to promote Hindu hatred on Islam.
EID EL-FITR: “A RENEWAL OF FAITH, A REAFFIRMATION OF UNITY, AND A CALL TO HIGHER PURPOSE”
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
I extend my warmest felicitations and heartfelt congratulations to the Muslim Ummah in Kaduna State, across Nigeria, and around the world, as we celebrate Eid el-Fitr, the blessed festival that marks the completion of the sacred month of Ramadan. With profound gratitude to Almighty Allah, we acknowledge His boundless mercy in granting us the strength, discipline, and spiritual awareness to observe the fast and partake in the deep blessings of this holy period.
Ramadan is far more than a ritual of abstinence; it is a sacred journey of inner renewal. It calls us to a higher consciousness; one rooted in humility, restraint, and devotion. Through fasting, prayer, charity, and reflection, we are reminded of our accountability to Allah and our responsibility to one another. The Qur’an teaches that fasting is prescribed so that we may attain righteousness. Thus, the true essence of Ramadan lies not merely in its observance, but in the transformation it inspires within us: the purification of the heart, the discipline of the self, and the elevation of our moral conduct.
Over the past month, we have sought to embody the enduring virtues of patience, compassion, generosity, and humility. We have experienced hunger and thirst, not only as acts of devotion, but as reminders of the struggles faced by the less privileged among us. We have given in charity, extended kindness to neighbours, and renewed our commitment to justice and mercy. As we celebrate Eid today, we must ensure that these virtues do not recede into memory but remain alive in our daily lives, shaping our actions and guiding our relationships.
This year’s Ramadan carries a unique and powerful symbolism. It coincided with the Christian season of Lent, a rare convergence that underscores the shared spiritual values of sacrifice, repentance, and devotion among people of faith. While Muslims mark the completion of Ramadan with joy and thanksgiving, our Christian brothers and sisters continue their solemn observance. This moment offers a profound opportunity to deepen interfaith understanding, strengthen mutual respect, and reaffirm our commitment to peaceful coexistence.
Kaduna State stands as a testament to the beauty and complexity of diversity. Ours is a land where different cultures, traditions, and religions meet and interact. This diversity must not be a source of division, but a foundation for unity. It calls upon us to embrace tolerance, uphold justice, and work collectively for the common good. Eid el-Fitr, therefore, is not merely a celebration; it is a moment of reflection and renewal; a call to strengthen the bonds that unite us and to build a society anchored in peace and harmony.
The teachings of the Prophet Muhammad SAW (Peace Be Upon Him) remind us that the best among us are those who are most beneficial to others. This timeless guidance compels us to extend the spirit of Ramadan beyond personal devotion into the broader sphere of social responsibility. Our compassion must transcend boundaries, and our actions must reflect a sincere commitment to the welfare of all members of society. When we uphold integrity, fairness, and respect, we lay the foundation for enduring peace and collective progress.
These values continue to guide our administration in Kaduna State. We recognise leadership as a sacred trust; one that demands accountability, compassion, and unwavering dedication to the well-being of our people. Since assuming office, we have prioritised the restoration of peace and security, working closely with security agencies, traditional institutions, and community leaders to ensure that our citizens can live and work in safety and dignity.
I joined well-meaning Nigerians in today in London to welcome President Tinubu ahead of his historic visit to Windsor Castle tomorrow. We hope his engagement will yield meaningful benefits for our dear, Nigeria, across security, economic growth and national stability. 🇳🇬 🇬🇧
North Korea withdrew from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 2003 and conducted nuclear tests in 2006. It now possesses ballistic missiles and several nuclear warheads that threaten the entire US mainland and could wipe out major cities like New York and Los Angeles. Yet, the US has not threatened war, focusing instead on Iran.
@NWDCOfficialNg North West Development Commission should intervine for the interest of North West people. BOI in kaduna gave us offer letters since last year but they refused to release fund! While our counterparts in other parts, especially south west are receiving without any delay.
