Alhamdulillah!
I am delighted to announce that His Excellency, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo has been selected as our Kano NDC Gubernatorial Candidate for the upcoming elections.
Similarly, Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna will contest for the Kano Central Senatorial Seat.
This decision was made in the spirit of equity, fairness, loyalty, and competence — values that remain central to our party and Kwankwasiyya’s progress and unity.
As we proceed with today’s affirmation exercise, I pray for a seamless, peaceful, and successful process. May Almighty Allah grant us resounding victory in the forthcoming elections.
Ameen. - RMK
I commend the @ndlea_nigeria and its operatives for the successful dismantling of a major drug syndicate and a multi-million dollar narcotics production network operating within our country.
The seizure of illicit drugs and chemicals valued at over $360 million, alongside the arrest of key foreign and local collaborators, sends a clear message that Nigeria will not yield its future to criminal networks and narco traffickers.
West Africa is increasingly becoming a major corridor in the global narcotics trade, and this poses a direct threat not just to our security, but to the future of our young people. We must confront this danger with courage, coordination, and consistency.
I urge Nigerians to support our law enforcement agencies by remaining vigilant and reporting suspicious activities within their communities.
I commend the NDLEA for its professionalism, bravery, and resilience. The fight against illicit drugs is a fight for the soul, safety, and future of our nation.

Dear APC members/Stakeholders
Please disregard the purported list of aspirants in the ongoing APC Senatorial Primary Elections currently being circulated on some platforms containing the name of Distinguished @RealMallamSaliu as an aspirant for the Senate seat.
2027: Senator Saliu Mustapha Calls for Peaceful APC Primaries, Backs Gov. AbdulRazaq for Kwara Central Senate.
The Senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Saliu Mustapha, has called on members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across Kwara State to conduct themselves peacefully and orderly during today’s party primaries into various senatorial district positions.
Senator Mustapha urged party faithful to come out en masse to participate in the exercise and exercise their democratic rights in an atmosphere of peace, unity, and mutual respect.
Speaking on the Kwara Central Senatorial District contest, the Senator expressed strong support for the aspiration of the Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, who is the sole contestant for the APC senatorial ticket in the district ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to him, the emergence of Governor AbdulRazaq as the lone aspirant is a clear indication of the immense respect, acceptance, and confidence he enjoys among party stakeholders and members across the state.
Senator Mustapha noted that the development reflects the belief among party leaders and stakeholders that Governor AbdulRazaq deserves such recognition and preeminence in view of his contributions to the growth and stability of the party and the state.
He further wished the Governor and all other aspirants participating in the primaries across the state a peaceful, successful, and rancour-free exercise.
The Senator also appealed to APC members to remain united before and after the primaries in the collective interest of the party and the continued progress of Kwara State.

Congratulations my dear friend and brother, @JosephOTegbe on your appointment as Minister of Power!
Many think energy is just about oil & gas.
No…the real choke point is metallurgy.
You can’t buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens & Mitsubishi are full till 2029. Turbine prices have nearly tripled. Every blade is a single-crystal nickel superalloy grown in a vacuum furnace — 90 weeks, $600k a set. Only 3 companies on Earth can make them. China tried for decades and still can’t match the metallurgy.
As you hit the ground running, my brother work with all stakeholders to:
1. Rehab our idle plants first (no new turbines needed)
2. Lock in long-lead spares & maintenance now
3. Massively scale renewables (solar)
4. Fix transmission & gas supply bottlenecks
5. Build local capabilities & smart global partnerships.
Nigeria is rooting for you. Light up the nation!
BIG ENERGY:
I am pleased to announce that NNPC Limited has successfully completed the River Niger crossing of the OB3 Gas Pipeline.
Executed 2km beneath the riverbed using advanced HDD technology, this milestone unlocks a transport capacity of 2 billion scf/day—strengthening Nigeria’s energy security, power generation, and industrial growth. It also builds on our AKK crossing success and reflects disciplined execution, innovative engineering, and the unwavering commitment of our team and partner, PCE Nig. Limited.
I thank Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his Gas-to-Prosperity agenda, our Board under Chairman Ahmadu Musa Kida, the host communities, and the resilient team at NGIC for their steadfast support and commitment.
The OB3 Pipeline links East to West and connects to the Northern corridor via the AKK Pipeline, unlocking over 500 million scf/day of domestic gas. The AKK will supply power plants, fertiliser, manufacturing, and new industries across Kaduna, Kano, and beyond, driving job creation, economic diversification, energy access, and West African exports.

Today at plenary, I presented the report of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development on the National Food Reserve Agency (Establishment) Bill, 2026 (SB 139).
As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and sponsor of this important bill, I highlighted that the legislation seeks to establish the National Food Reserve Agency to strengthen national food security. It will also empower the agency to serve as a buffer against food shortages by maintaining a strategic grain reserve that can be deployed swiftly during national emergencies.
I am confident that the passage of this bill will move our nation closer to achieving sustainable food security and greater self-sufficiency.
