Got my PVC yesterday after years of trying. I woke up as early as I could(4am), prepared and left home, got to the location. To my greatest surprise I met a multitude of people eager to get theirs too, we then wrote our names down and then had to wait for them(Inec) to resume...
“2027 election is settled”
Some residents of Oyo State have expressed support for an APC candidate after receiving 1kg sachets of semovita during an outreach event.
Good morning, everyone.
To all those paid agents engaged in a campaign to demarket His Excellency, Peter Obi, my name is Dr. Yunusa Tanko, and I stand firmly by these words.
Thank you.
Rotimi Amaechi will be the running mate to Atiku, other names like Okonjo Iweala, Akinwunmi Adesina and others are distractions.
Amaechi is heavily loaded with funds and someone must assist Waziri with campaign funds like Okowa in 2023.
They’ll lose though.
I have noted with grave concern the escalating wave of insecurity that has engulfed our beloved nation. Once again, Nigeria is bleeding profusely. From Zamfara, Borno, Sokoto, Katsina, and Kwara to Oyo and several other parts of the country, our citizens can no longer sleep with both eyes closed.
Banditry, kidnapping for ransom, terrorism, communal clashes, and armed robbery have tragically become daily occurrences. What is most alarming is the audacity of these criminals, who now brazenly hold live sessions on social media to taunt the authorities and terrorise the public.
This is totally unacceptable and not befitting of a sovereign nation like ours.
As someone who has served this country at various levels, including as Governor of Kano State and Minister of Defence, where we confronted and significantly reduced security challenges through decisive leadership and community engagement, I remain convinced that insecurity is not insurmountable. What we lack today is not resources, but the requisite political will and sincerity to confront this menace head-on.
The current approach has clearly failed. Despite massive budgetary allocations to the security sector, the situation continues to deteriorate rapidly. Innocent lives are being lost daily, families are displaced in their thousands, and our economy is suffocating under the heavy weight of fear and instability.
We cannot continue on this dangerous path. Nigeria’s security architecture requires an urgent and comprehensive overhaul.
Additionally, to safeguard our socioeconomic wellbeing, the government must prioritise the provision of quality education, modern infrastructure, accessible healthcare, reliable electricity supply, and essential agricultural inputs. This approach will strengthen local food production and reduce over-reliance on imports for food security.
We must immediately prioritise the welfare and motivation of our gallant security personnel, strengthen intelligence gathering, enhance community policing, and, most crucially, tackle the root causes of this crisis; poverty, mass unemployment, and poor governance through massive investment in quality education, skills acquisition, and job creation for our teeming youth. - RMK
