I have never been prouder of Nigerians. They are asking the right questions and they are taking the right actions. They are not relenting.

"The issues of President Bola Tinubu's alleged forgery of certificates and documents and forfeiture of $460,000 linked to heroin trafficking in the United States is not going away anytime soon. Here's Barr. Kalu Kalu submitting a petition to the European Commission in Brussels on this and Tinubu’s threat to our constitutional democracy.

Speaking Truth to Power. "No Barabas." The redemptive voices are rising. Soon, "the come shall come to become." A new and vastly transformed Nigeria is Possible.
I am deeply happy that Peter's name is on the ballot box. The Federal House of Representatives will hear his name and he will deliver 100%.
We will give him our support 🙏
The increasing use of federal institutions to disrupt governance in opposition states in Nigeria is condemnable. As I said in my last newsletter, no government is above scrutiny but when institutions like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are utilised to witch hunt specific states or public office holders, it indicates that their investigations are selective and erodes public trust in these institutions.
The “freezing” of an official state government account without due legal process goes beyond the powers vested in the EFCC by the laws of our land. And the timing of the action suggests that this is just another attempt by the federal government to unduly influence the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State.
Federal institutions must remain faithful to their constitutional mandate by acting with fairness, professionalism and political neutrality at all times. We therefore call on all Nigerians, civil society organisations and the international community to remain vigilant. Democracy cannot thrive where our institutions are perceived as instruments of political intimidation. Protecting the independence and credibility of our institutions is essential to preserving public trust and safeguarding Nigeria's democracy. The rule of law must prevail over the rule of politics.
Any presidential candidate that is too big to appear for an interview on television will never serve Nigerians well.
Such persons will be too big for the people!
Especially those that will never debate!
Those who fall victim to effort to use emotion to create a gap between us and them, the complicit middle, may have a greater query on judgment day. They are like those who take refuge in neutrality in the face of a moral crisis in Dante’s Inferno.

“When I joined Barcelona, I was told not to drive flashy cars to training. After I argued with Pep Guardiola and asked for the same freedom on the pitch as Messi, he benched me for four games. The next day, I parked my Ferrari right outside his office… and four months later, he sold me.”😂💔

Claude Ake, one of the true greats of Pol. Sci to come out of Nigeria pointed to a characteristic of the state in post colonial Africa to place its survival above existential needs of citizens. The current order in Nigeria exemplifies that. Sadly this is why progress has stalled
On the democratic space and extant reality in Nigeria I stand with John Cardinal Onayekan and the Catholic Bishops. Those who think shrinking the space for competition of thought either do not understand the essence of democracy, or are mischievous.
