Hypocrisy knows no gender. Rarara's actions and statements have been deeply disappointing to me, and I believe he has failed to stand with ordinary Nigerians during these difficult times. I hope that karma catches up with all those supporting him.

ADC PICKS RT. HON. CHIBUIKE ROTIMI AMAECHI AS ATIKU’S RUNNING MATE.

The National Leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), after extensive consultations with party leaders, coalition partners, youth and women stakeholders, and representatives of all geopolitical zones, is proud to announce that the Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has been selected as the Vice-Presidential Candidate of our great party for the 2027 Presidential Election.
This recommendation follows the successful conclusion of the ADC Presidential Primaries, in which Rt. Hon. Amaechi emerged as the runner-up, earning widespread support from party members across the federation and demonstrating his enduring appeal as one of Nigeria's most experienced and respected political leaders.

The proposed partnership between His Excellency Atiku Abubakar and Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi represents more than a political alliance; it is the coming together of two tested statesmen with the experience, national reach, and leadership capacity required to rescue Nigeria from its current challenges and reposition the country for a new era of prosperity, security, and inclusive development.

Rt. Hon. Amaechi brings to this ticket one of the most comprehensive public service records in contemporary Nigerian politics. His experience spans all major pillars of democratic governance. He served with distinction as Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, making him one of the longest-serving legislative leaders in Nigeria's Fourth Republic. He subsequently served two terms as Governor of Rivers State, where he oversaw significant investments in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and public sector reforms. At the national level, he served as Minister of Transportation, leading some of the most ambitious transportation and rail modernization initiatives in Nigeria's history.

Few political leaders in Nigeria today possess such extensive and balanced experience across both the legislative and executive arms of government. This depth of experience will be invaluable in supporting the next ADC administration from day one.

Beyond his impressive credentials, Rt. Hon. Amaechi strengthens the ticket strategically. His political influence across the South-South and wider Southern Nigeria, his reputation as a reform-minded administrator, and his proven ability to build coalitions across political, ethnic, and regional lines make him uniquely positioned to complement the candidacy of Atiku Abubakar.

Together, Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi embody a truly national ticket—one that bridges regions, generations, and political traditions. Their combined experience in governance, economic management, public administration, party organization, and nation-building offers Nigerians a credible and compelling alternative capable of restoring confidence in government and accelerating national development.

At a time when millions of Nigerians are demanding competent leadership, economic revival, job creation, security, and national unity, the Atiku-Amaechi ticket sends a clear message: the ADC is prepared to govern, prepared to unite the nation, and prepared to deliver results.

The leadership of the ADC is confident that this partnership will energize our growing coalition, inspire hope among Nigerians, and provide the leadership necessary to build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The ADC therefore calls on all party members, coalition partners, civil society organizations, youth groups, women leaders, and Nigerians of goodwill to join us as we embark on this historic journey to renew our nation and secure a better future for generations to come.

Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi

I so much welcome this announcement. He is the best for the job in the current ADC as we have it. He is a household name from South to North, and he will compliment H.E @atiku on the ticket. I can't wait for the campaign to start! Let's go ADC! 🤝

Major-General Rabe Abubakar: The Wounds We Share

I have just read the statement by the Katsina State Government confirming the passing of Major-General Rabe Abubakar, rtd, a former military spokesman, while in captivity. Even though the statement says that “the deceased… died a natural death from complications of diabetes and hypertension,” this does not erase the horror of the circumstances in which he spent his final days. What haunts us is not only the manner of his passing, but the tragedy of a life of service ending in the hands of criminals who have exploited the dysfunctions of our society.

What happened to the General is a tragedy of immeasurable dimension. To return from a career that required putting one’s life on the line for one’s country, only to become a captive of ragtag criminals, is a fate no patriot deserves. It is a cruel reminder that this weather of insecurity is one we all breathe and feel. It bears our names, our faces, our families, and the histories of service behind its victims.

There is no dignified way to avoid the truth that, as a nation and as a government, we have let down the General and many others who have met similar fates. This does not take away from the efforts I know were ongoing to secure his release or rescue, nor from the renewed operations and proactive steps being taken to confront these criminal networks. But grief must never be managed with denial. Something more radical, more coordinated, and more sustained must be done to break this chain of tragic events. Contrary to the assumptions of some, nobody is immune.

What happened to the General is a cautionary tale for all of us in government today. The General, who once served in one of the most protected institutions in the country, could never have imagined such an ending. That is why it remains baffling when anyone assumes that those in public office are insulated from the failures and fractures of the nation. The same roads, the same communities, the same future, and the same consequences await us all.

As a northerner, I am doubly troubled by the direction in which our region has been dragged. No honest person can claim ignorance of how we got here. If we are even more honest, we must admit that the untrained, abandoned, and hopeless children on our streets are being turned into cannon fodder for present and future dysfunctions. Even if banditry and terrorism are defeated, a vulnerable demographic left without education, discipline, opportunity, or hope will remain available for other invidious agendas against the Nigerian state.

This is the part that should frighten us most. We once spoke of building human capital. Today, too many of our people are trapped in the desperate arithmetic of survival.

The government has the primary and non-negotiable responsibility to protect lives and property. But no government policy, however well designed, can fully overcome a society that refuses to confront parental irresponsibility, the abandonment of children, hostility to education in some communities, and the casual normalisation of neglect. Security is not sustained by bullets alone. It is sustained by schools, families, values, livelihoods, justice, and a population civilised enough to reject the temptations of nihilism.

And yet, we cannot afford to lose hope. Despair is exactly what these criminals want to manufacture. They want citizens to stop believing in the possibility of order, to stop trusting the state, and to stop imagining a country that can still be rescued. We must refuse them that victory. We must mourn the dead, demand better from the living, and insist that the Nigerian state still has the duty and capacity to reclaim every inch of its authority.

May Allah forgive him, grant him Aljannatul Firdaus, and comfort his family. My condolences also go to all families who have lost loved ones to this madness. May their grief not be in vain, and may our country find the courage to end this tragedy.

This barbaric act must stop, and we must act now

[Hon. Mohammed Bello El-Rufai @B_ELRUFAI]

Press Release: Our father, Mallam Nasir @elrufai, is still being held by the ICPC. Today, 15 May 2026, we witnessed two distinct yet equally serious attacks on his basic rights. First, his personal Doctor visited the ICPC at about 3pm to discuss the results of medical tests recently conducted on our father. Officials at the agency blocked the doctor from seeing him, claiming that written permission from the ICPC Chairman was required. This directly flouts a clear court order granting Mallam Nasir El‑Rufai unrestricted access to his doctors.

Second, his wife, Aunty Aichatou, brought his evening meal at around 7pm as she normally does. ICPC personnel turned her away, saying they had orders not to permit food deliveries after 6:30pm. This arbitrary rule is no less offensive than blocking his right to medical care.

These acts are an outright assault on the rule of law and a clear violation of our father's constitutional and human rights. No lawful detention justifies denying medical access or refusing basic family care based on an arbitrary curfew fixed by the ICPC. Shame on them as an institution.

We demand that all his constitutional rights be fully respected. We will no longer accept this pattern of intimidation dressed up as protocol. The ICPC must abide by the very laws it claims to enforce.

Court case that died at it arrival

[Mal. Imran U. Wakili (PULLO) 👑 #iSTANDWITHELRUFAI @IU_Wakilii]

BREAKING: Goodluck Jonathan’s team appeared in court once again as, for the second consecutive sitting, INEC lawyers failed to appear over the case involving the former President.

Counsel to Goodluck Jonathan pleaded with the court to strike out the case due to the repeated absence of the parties prosecuting the matter.

However, the Judge declined the request, stating that in the interest of fair hearing, the Plaintiff and INEC should be given one final opportunity to be properly served.

The matter has now been adjourned to Friday, 15th May, by 9:00am.

This is how politics is played at the top with respect but you see us wey dey down & less privileged, we attack & insults ourselves till stupor.

Disagree but be respectful 🙏🏻🇳🇬

“My supporters don’t engage in f!ghts on social media. The real clåsh is between supporters of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi. The Obidients insist on ‘Obi or nothing,’ while Atiku’s supporters say ‘Atiku or nothing.’ But the question is, do they have the numbers? I’m confident I will win the ticket, which is why I remain calm, so I can bring everyone together.”

This judgement is a big win for ADC

To be frank, if INEC had not first derecognised David Mark, many us would not even have known about Nafiu’s case. We all know he has no case, but the courts and INEC made a mountain out of a molehill in order to cause chaos in the leading opposion party.

But INEC, whether rightly or wrongly, relied on the court of appeal’s order for parties to maintain status quo ante bellum, in consequence of which INEC derecognised David Mark-led NWC.

The ADC therefore went to the supreme court, seeking the vacation of the order.

In a unanimous judgment, the five-member panel of the supreme court headed by Justice Mohammed Garba faulted the order of the court of appeal which asked parties in the suit to maintain status quo ante bellum, effectively restoring David Mark.

Looking at INEC’s tight election timetable, the ADC deliberately went to the supreme court to get a decision and know its fate before the deadline. Those arguing that ADC politicians should go to another party should know that no opposition party is immune to the ruling party’s meddling, either through the courts or the electoral umpire.

With the party’s leadership now restored, the ADC can officially engage with INEC. At a time like this, leadership is crucial for any political party. Once conventions, congresses and primaries are over, parties often run almost on autopilot.

Returning the case to the trial court (as long as Mark NWC is restored) is a fair deal.
