The United Nations has never had a woman serve as Secretary-General since its founding in 1945. With António Guterres’ tenure ending in January 2027, there is growing global momentum for the UN to have its first female Secretary-General and our own @AminaJMohammed stands out as a highly qualified and experienced candidate who could make history as the first woman to lead the United Nations.

Pantami Presents Certificate of Return to His Excellency Dankwambo!
The Governorship Candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Gombe State, Professor Isa Ali Pantami, CON, on Thursday evening presented his Certificate of Return to the Leader of the PDP in Gombe State, His Excellency Senator Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo, PhD, OON (Talban Gombe), at his residence in Abuja.
The visit was part of Professor Pantami's consultations with senior leaders of the party following his emergence as the PDP governorship candidate for the 2027 election. Before the visit, he had also presented the Certificate of Return to the Chairman of the PDP in Gombe State, Major General Amnon Kwaskebe (Rtd.), and other party stakeholders.
Senator Dankwambo, who currently serves as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Accounts, is widely recognised for his contributions to the education sector during his administration as Governor of Gombe State between 2011 and 2019.
His administration established the Gombe State University of Science and Technology, Kumo; the College of Education, Billiri; the Gombe State Polytechnic, Bajoga; and the Gombe State College for Legal and Islamic Studies, Nafada. It also established the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Gombe State University and the School of Nursing and Midwifery in Dukku. During his tenure, the state's performance in national examinations improved significantly, with the pass rate rising from about two per cent in 2011 to 92 per cent by the end of his second term.
Receiving Professor Pantami, Senator Dankwambo congratulated him on his emergence as the PDP governorship candidate and thanked him for the visit. He wished him success in the forthcoming election and expressed confidence that he would emerge victorious, In Sha Allah. He added that presenting a credible, tested and widely accepted candidate gives the party a strong advantage because such a candidate enjoys broad public acceptance. Senator Dankwambo concluded by praying that Almighty Allah grants the party success and victory.
Professor Pantami also brings a strong record of public service to the race, having facilitated more than 241 projects and programmes across Gombe State.

Following the successful day at Arafah, the peak and most significant rite of Hajj, millions of pilgrims have moved to Muzdalifah, where they will spend the night in prayers, supplications and remembrance of Allah. At Muzdalifah, pilgrims rest under the open sky and gather pebbles that will be used for the symbolic stoning of the Jamarat.
May Allah accept the Hajj of all pilgrims, grant them safe completion of the sacred rites and return them home in peace with renewed faith and blessings.
I see courage, and political calculation in Prof. Pantami’s defection to the PDP. Now that Pantami will be on the ballot, it becomes a clear path to Gombe State Government House, in sha Allah.
I hope Pantami’s administration will serve as a model for other states to …

Those who insulted Professor Pantami for joining our great party, the APC, should not now be seen insulting him for leaving the party to join the PDP, unless, of course, if it was never really about his choice of political party, but something else entirely.
The Day of Arafah is unmatched in virtue. The Prophet says: “There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of Arafah. For those not on Hajj, fasting on this day expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year, as he ﷺ said, “I hope from Allah that fasting on the Day of Arafah will expiate the year before it and the year after it”. It is the day Allah perfected the religion with the verse, “This day I have perfected for you your religion”, and the best du’a is the du’a of Arafah: “La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah…”
May Allah answer our prayers, heal our sick, forgive our parents and loved ones, bring peace and blessings to Nigeria, and admit us into His mercy.
