This morning, I joined other patriots to attend a birthday lecture titled: Weaponization of Poverty as a Means of Underdevelopment: A Case Study of Nigeria, organized in honour of former Governor Rotimi Amaechi at the Continental Hotel in Abuja. It was a great and thought-provoking event. -AA
I am heartbroken by news of the tragic accident that claimed the lives of 21 Kano State athletes returning from the National Sports Festival in Abeokuta.
These young men and women who have been cut in their prime represent the very best of our nation; dedicated, talented, and full of promise.
Their untimely passing is a profound loss not only to their families and the people of Kano but to the entire country.
It is imperative that we put in place and enforce safety measures to stem accidents and prevent loss of lives.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, the Kano State Government, and Nigeria’s sporting community.
May the souls of the departed rest in peace, and may the injured recover swiftly. -AA
If God empowers me enough to be there for people I have never met globally, imagine how much I show up for those that I call friends and family. Grace Enough. 🐝
My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of adversely impacted by the tragic flooding that led to the loss of no less than 21 persons, several missing and thousands displaced in Tiffin Maza and Anguwan Hausawa communities in Mokwa Local Government Area of Niger State.
Media reports indicate that the extent of the destruction; homes, farmlands, schools, and vital infrastructure is dire.
The tragic situation in Mokwa serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for comprehensive and proactive flood management strategies across the country, especially with the forecasts of more flooding in the rainy season, which is just beginning.
I commend the efforts of emergency responders and urge both state and federal authorities to intensify relief efforts and implement sustainable solutions to prevent such tragedies in the future.
I stand in solidarity with the people of Niger State, especially those mourning loved ones. May the souls of the departed rest in peace, and may those who are still missing be found and be reunited with their families. -AA
Yesterday, I paid a condolence visit to Kashim Imam over the loss of his elder brother, Alhaji Ahmed Imam. I pray that the Almighty Allah will forgive his sins and grant him Aljannah Firdausi. -AA
