Earlier this week I spoke at the Law Week conference of the NBA Ikeja. We had an engaging discussion on Law, Governance and the Ballot following a keynote delivered by HE Babatunde Fashola, former Governor of Lagos State. These are issues of great relevance, especially in light of recent, very concerning developments at the nexus of politics and the judiciary.
Many of us may by now be aware of a reported ruling by a Federal High Court in Lokoja, purporting to set aside its own earlier judgement, which had directed INEC to register the NDC.
While this may appear to be an unsettling development, we remain steadfast, confident and resolute. Come what may, we will be on the ballot in 2027, and the people will exercise their democratic right of choice.
Our party leadership has issued an official statement in response to this which can be found at https://t.co/d1Y7ZIfzo7

#OTiYa!
With profound humility, gratitude, and a clear sense of purpose, I accept our party's nomination to serve as its candidate for Governor of Lagos State in 2027.
I am deeply grateful for the confidence our great party has placed in me and for our shared belief that Lagos deserves much better—inclusive leadership that works for everyone.
The real work begins now. Together, we will build the Lagos that we know is possible.
My friends, it’s time - O TI Ya!
Lagos doesn’t need a quick patch. Lagos needs a transformation.
I’ll be joining @UnkleAyo to talk about what moving Lagos forward really means.
This Saturday, 13th June.
10:00 AM.
The time to take Lagos forward is now.
Join us.

Join us. Let’s build. #Lagos#ÓTIYÁ#Obidient
@Karigwe@funsodoherty Absolutely. We’d be happy to.
Now more than ever, Lagosians deserve open, honest conversations about the future of our state and the kind of leadership we want to build together.
Looking forward to engaging with you and the community. Please send us a DM so we can coordinate.
Leadership is about service, not status. It’s not about who looks or acts like a typical politician.
Lagos can work far better than it does today, for the average Lagosian. What it needs is that person who will govern well, for the people, not someone who just makes the loudest noise.

We talk about roads, power, water, housing, education, health, transportation and the cost of living because they affect our quality of life. But Lagos doesn’t change just because our complaints are loud; it changes because we’re involved.
Your PVC isn't just a card, it’s your seat at the table.
It’s the way to ensure the future of Lagos isn't decided without you.
Phase 3 of the Voter Registration started 4th of May, 2026 and it's still ongoing.
Don't just watch the future happen. Participate. Decide. Create it.
Had a good conversation with HE @peterobi.
Shared vision. Same drive to fix a system that has failed too many.
The road to a new Nigeria will be birthed through united voices and well-governed states.
Here's to the work ahead.

One form. One mission. One movement.
Last week, I picked up the NDC expression of interest form for the Lagos State Governorship election.
Advancing our promise to Lagos, - right principles, right path, right process.
#OTiYa#ItIsTime#NDC
I had a very productive and inspiring meeting with the National Leader of the NDC.
Our discussions were frank, constructive and aligned around a shared purpose, that will lead to a better Lagos, and a better Nigeria founded on competence, inclusion, accountability and service to the people.
I left even more convinced that meaningful progress is possible when leaders unite around principles, purpose, and the public good.
