I had the honour of representing my mother, the First Lady of Anambra State, Dr Nonye Soludo (@nonyesoludo) as she received the National Leadership Conference 2026 Award for Excellence in Social Impact Leadership.
It was a proud and special moment to receive this recognition on her behalf and to see her dedication to service, particularly through the Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo Initiative, recognised in this way.
I have had the privilege of seeing firsthand the heart, discipline and commitment she brings to this work, and the genuine desire behind it to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
This recognition also belongs to the incredible Healthy Living team, the volunteers, coordinators, partners, health workers, teachers and community leaders whose collective efforts continue to extend the initiative’s impact across Anambra and beyond.
Mum, I am immensely proud of you and all that you continue to do. It was truly an honour to stand in for you.
Thank you to the GOTNI Leadership Centre for this recognition, and to everyone who continues to be part of the Healthy Living journey.

The 2027 General Elections are now in full view. But what do most Nigerians actually know about them?
1 Presidential Election, 28 State Governorship Elections and National Assembly and State Assembly Elections across the 36 States.
On 12th September 2026, @inecnigeria released its final list of Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates. The list contains 18 Presidential candidates, down from the 19 candidates contained in the earlier list released on 1st August 2026.
Then, there is the question of who is on the ballot - Sixteen men and two women for the Presidential Election, with four women also listed as Vice-Presidential candidates. None of the Presidential or Vice-Presidential candidates declared a disability.
All this and more in the video on the road to the 2027 elections. Are Nigerians prepared?

Can the Economic and Financial Crime Commission
(EFCC) simply hand a Nigerian over to a foreign government for prosecution?
The recent extradition of two Nigerians to the United States has brought this question to the fore. My latest commentary examines the concept of
This is so funny to have an AI prompt in a tweet, but all I get from this is that you can see his intentions from the prompt he used. It means that his true intentions were to handle the matter diplomatically but be clear. He does not want to offend and beyond mocking him for using ChatGPT or Claude, there is a more important thing to learn. If I was the other person going back and forth I would see this as an inadvertently exposed sign of respect even in the face of disagreement. He does not want to cuss you out online. He wants to be diplomatic. That has to count for something.
THE FIRST DAY
There is something profound about walking through the doors of an institution you have just been entrusted to lead. My first day as President of the Nigerian Bar Association began not with ceremony, but with continuity.
Together with my predecessor, Afam Osigwe, SAN, the 32nd President of the NBA, I toured NBA House, where he took me through the National Secretariat and introduced me to members of staff. Then came the farewell and the quiet realisation that the baton had truly changed hands.
I returned to the office, and we began with prayer. Then, we got to work.
An interactive meeting with the staff of the National Secretariat as we begin translating the vision of this administration into action.
My first day in office reminded me of something I have always believed:
Leadership is not the moment you receive the baton. It is what you do with it after you receive it.
