Today, I led the National Working Committee of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), to inaugurate the National Campaign Council for the Osun State Governorship election coming up on August 15, 2026.
The inauguration marks the commencement of our coordinated efforts to secure another resounding victory for our great party in Osun State. The distinguished members of the Council have been carefully selected based on their proven experience, commitment and capacity to deliver results. I have no doubt that they will work tirelessly with all stakeholders to ensure a successful campaign.
As we begin this important assignment, I charged members of the Council to remain focused, united and disciplined in carrying out their responsibilities. Our campaign must be issue-based, people-centred and reflective of the values of the APC, while taking our message of good governance, development and the Renewed Hope Agenda to every community across Osun State.
I call on all our members, supporters and the good people of Osun State to rally behind our party and our candidate as we work together towards a decisive victory on August 15. With unity, hard work and the support of the people, we are confident that the APC will once again emerge victorious.
God bless the APC, God bless Osun State, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Today, I had the honour of meeting with Engr. Aliyu Mohammed (Kombat), one of Gombe State’s most outstanding young entrepreneurs and a shining example of purposeful youth leadership.

Kombat’s strong sense of responsibility, his visionary outlook, and his readiness to support any cause that is sincerely committed to the development of Gombe State.
Indeed, this kind of noble intention and selfless dedication is exactly what our society needs from its youth. It is the foundation upon which a prosperous and united future can be built.

It was an honour to accompany my leader, @HEInuwaYahaya, CON, to the official flag-off of the Akwanga–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe–Biu–Maiduguri Super Highway in Akwanga, Nasarawa State.
This strategic project, launched on behalf of President @officialABAT, GCFR, by the @OfficialAPCNg National Chairman, Prof. @nentawe1, is a vital part of the Renewed Hope Agenda, focused on connecting Nigeria’s coastal, savannah, and Sahel regions through modern infrastructure.
As rightly noted by our leader, @HEInuwaYahaya, "this super highway is a legacy project with a far-reaching impact set to boost trade, reduce travel time, enhance security, create jobs and strengthen unity by connecting communities and markets across multiple geopolitical zones."
I also joined His Excellency, @HEInuwaYahaya, at the commissioning of the Akwanga Underpass and dualised township roads by Governor Abdullahi Sule, commendable projects that reflect purposeful leadership and a commitment to improving the lives of the people.
These milestones reinforce our collective resolve to support visionary leadership and sustainable development for the progress of our nation and the prosperity of our people.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE ARSENAL FAMILY FOR WINNING THE PREMIER LEAGUE.
It has been 22 good years since Arsenal won the premier league trophy, but today we won it again after a long, long wait that seems like an eternity.
I strongly believe we will continue to win it more often because the squad is very strong and ready to fight for trophies.
First premier league trophy of the Emirates Era.

Congratulations to all of us.
