A CAMPAIGN SHOULD REFLECT THE PEOPLE, NOT JUST PARTY STRUCTURES!
It is concerning that the proposed Northwest presidential @officialABAT campaign flag-off in Kaduna is reportedly relying on Keep Kaduna Clean personnel and party executives to fill the gathering rather than demonstrating genuine public participation.
A campaign should be an opportunity to engage citizens, earn their trust, and present a convincing record of achievements—not simply assemble government workers and party state escos loyalists to create an impression of massive public support.
The real measure of a successful campaign is voluntary public participation, not the number of staff mobilised or party officials assembled. Kaduna deserves honest political engagement, accountability, and leadership that listens to the people. This is very unfortunate, @ubasanius can’t have normal citizens except to used party structure and operation keep kaduna clean to be the participants of the northwest campaign flag-off @atiku is coming to rescue us from incompetence government and lack of governance at large. #TinubuMustGo #newchangefornigerians @elrufai@IsaAshiruKudan@omonlakiki@ADCVanguard_@BashirAhmaad@B_ELRUFAI@benmurraybruce

A Caged Lion is Still a Lion: Avenge El-Rufai’s Treatment With Your Votes — Refuse to Be Intimidated
Today marks two hundred and forty-six days since Mallam Nasir El-Rufai voluntarily surrendered himself to an investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, and subsequently the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, on February 18, 2026, a detention that has now stretched through nearly eight months of a man who committed no crime other than refusing to kneel. A lot of people, supporters and even enemies alike, have registered their frustration at a spectacle that has long ceased to resemble justice and has become something closer to a political hostage situation. The campaign is about to start, and the paper tigers know it, which is precisely why the cage has not been opened.
They thought the cage would silence him. They thought the chains would make the people forget. They were wrong. A caged lion is still a lion but more dangerous. The roar does not die because the mouth is behind bars. It echoes louder. It travels farther. It wakes up those who were sleeping. And in Kaduna, across the North, and through every corner of this country where people still believe that leadership is about service and not about swallowing the commonwealth, the people are waking up. They are watching. They are remembering. And they are angry.
Let us be clear. The detention of Nasir El-Rufai is no longer a legal matter. It has become a political circus, and the clowns are not even pretending anymore. A former senator allegedly stood in Zaria and begged the governor to keep El-Rufai locked up until after the 2027 election, until the governor receives his crown, and only then should the lion be released. Read that again. A public figure, in broad daylight, at a political gathering, openly linking the continued detention of a former governor to the electoral ambitions of the incumbent. This is not justice. This is not the rule of law. This is fear wearing the mask of legality. And the mask is slipping.
Who are these people demanding that El-Rufai remain caged? Their records speak louder than any label. They are the ones who have never won anything on their own. They are the political tourists who attach themselves to whoever holds the microphone and the purse then betray them and find another host to leech again. They could not win a ward councillorship without standing on another man’s structure. They have no history of political triumph in and of themselves. And now, terrified that the lion might walk out of the cage and remind the people of what real leadership looks like, they are begging for the detention to continue. Paper tigers. That is what they are. Paper tigers roaring at a lion behind bars because they know that if the bars were removed, they would scatter like leaves in a storm.
Their fear is understandable. El-Rufai’s greatest strength was never in the Government House. It was never in the ministerial chambers. It was never in the boardroom of the APC or the corridors of power. His greatest strength is the people. Not just in Kaduna, though Kaduna knows him best. Across Nigeria, there are people who remember a man who spoke truth to power when it was dangerous. Who stood against the naira redesign policy not because it hurt his party’s chances, but because he saw ordinary Nigerians suffering at the ATM queues, unable to buy food, unable to transport themselves to work. He said it plainly, without fear of the cabal in Aso Rock: the president made a mistake. How many of those now calling him a criminal had the courage to say that? Not one. They were too busy calculating how to position themselves for the next round of appointments.
The tragic kidnapping of Ahmed Abubakar Zakka, his wife, Nafisah, and their infant daughter is a painful and heartbreaking loss it's should remind us of the paintul reality of insecurity lack of incompetence in Kaduna State. Their freedom is a relief, but the circumstances surrounding their release deserve transparency. Public reporting has not established all the details of how they were freed..
If, as the family reportedly maintains, relatives and private individuals raised the money that secured their freedom, the government must not take credit for efforts it did not make. Any disagreement over who paid the ransom or financed their rescue should be clarified with evidence, not political claims.
Governor @ubasanius the people of Kaduna need more than courtesy visits, promises, and headlines. They need security, accountability, and lasting solutions. No family should have to raise enormous sums of money to secure the freedom of their loved ones while living in fear.
The real measure of leadership is not how a government presents itself after a kidnapping, but what it does to prevent the next one.
Kaduna deserves a government that prioritises protecting lives over managing appearances.
After all we have had in kaduna @officialABAT has never been in kaduna for a visit regardless the killing kidnapping and lack of transparency but here you are preparing he's coming for flags off campaign in kaduna, Nigeria deserves leadership built on truth, responsibility, and results. @atiku
Enough of political point-scoring. Let protecting human life come first. Let accountability speak louder than propaganda. Let good governance be measured by results.
A failure Administration of @officialABAT who’s has failed Nigerians citizens, Government of propaganda and corruption lack of credibility and incompetence to deliver the nation at large, @atiku is coming to deliver what you can’t delivered a man for the job to rescue the country and the people of our dear nation. Is time is for every Nigerian citizens to #votethisgovernment out in office and vote new hope for the future our young ones. @ADCVanguard_@POTUS44@ChibuikeAmaechi@elrufai@AWTambuwal
It’s a reminder to every Nigerian, when we let this government re-elect in coming general elections sure I’m telling my dear Nigerians Should have expect more and highe extreme taxes policies will be implemented in this country and that’s where a real hardship in the nation will begin,President @officialABAT@OfficialAPCNg@TSGontweeter they’re not there for the masses their after to go down on people create many taxes policies in the country and brought us a huge number of loans to our future generations, we should have never let this happened. Nigerians only hope is @atiku to bring new digital democracy system,transparent government and engaging for our youth to govern the nation, let’s change the change with the new hope for all Nigerians @ADCVanguard_@B_ELRUFAI@NGNYouthForum@UN@MYANC
“The APC has more problems within than outside. Meanwhile, the opposition is resilient, tough and talking big.”

When warnings like this come from inside the ruling party, they deserve attention.
Today I am in Kafanchan, I sat with the leaders of the African Democratic Congress from all eight Local Government Areas of Zone 3.
I was not alone. The leadership of my Campaign Council and a strong contingent of supporters were with me not as spectators, but as witnesses to a deliberate act of political consultation.
Zone 3 is more than a senatorial zone. It is a living archive of resilience, diversity, and unfinished business. From Jema’a to Zangon Kataf, from Kachia to Kaura, the people of Southern Kaduna have carried burdens that successive administrations preferred to manage rather than resolve. What I encountered this morning was not mere party machinery. It was a gathering of men and women who understand the difference between representation and presence.
We spoke plainly. About security and the right to live without fear. About roads that still isolate communities. About young people whose talents remain trapped by limited opportunity. About farmers who need more than seasonal promises. About the quiet expectation that leadership should finally mean something concrete in their lives.
These conversations matter because power, when it is not grounded in listening, becomes performance. I did not come to Kafanchan to deliver a speech. I came to measure the distance between what we claim and what the people actually experience—and to shorten that distance with intention.
The African Democratic Congress is not building a campaign of slogans. We are building a structure of accountability that begins where governance has too often ended: at the ward, the LGA, and the zone. The leaders who gathered today did not ask for favours. They asked for partnership. They asked whether their concerns would shape decisions, not merely decorate manifestos.
My answer remains the same. The rescue of Kaduna will not be announced from one corner of the state and imposed on the others. It will be constructed through the active consent and participation of every zone. Zone 3 is not an afterthought in this project. It is a co-author.
To the leaders and members of the ADC across Jema’a, Jaba, Kachia, Kagarko, Kaura, Kauru, Sanga, and Zangon Kataf: thank you for the clarity and seriousness you brought to today’s meeting. The work continues. The structure is growing. The commitment is firm.
The people of Southern Kaduna have waited long enough for leadership that sees them clearly. That wait ends with deliberate action.

Since President @officialABAT Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office in May 2023, Nigerians have been asked to endure painful economic reforms in the hope of a better future. Nothing yet to be found,But as the country approaches the 2027 general election, is an important question remains to everyone in the country Are the sacrifices of ordinary Nigerians translating into a better quality of life ?? Rather than how we found ourselves in Economic hardship and cost of living, insecurity and protection of human life, corruption transparency and public accountability, democracy freedom of expression and respect for citizens.we demands all answers first from incompetent governments @officialABAT@TSGontweeter@OfficialAPCNg@ADCVanguard_@adamugarba@atiku@elrufai@UNIDIR@CNNPolitics@UniteSharon@AfricanHub_
Let’s reach every Nigerian!
As 2027 draws near, the people must know the real achievements of H.E. Atiku Abubakar, the leader who has always stood with the masses against the corrupt politicians. We will arm our brothers and sisters with the truth so we can smash every lie and propaganda they throw at H.E. Atiku Abubakar.
His record of fighting for the common man is too long to list at once, but I will keep bringing the facts to you, piece by piece. In 2027, it is Atiku for the people, or nothing!
Part 1
- Infrastructure Facilitation for the North; As Vice President (1999–2007), Atiku attracted and supported critical federal projects, particularly in his home region and beyond:
1- Upgrade of Yola Airport to international status.
2- Establishment of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Yola.
3- Electricity transmission infrastructure linking Gombe through Adamawa to Jalingo.
4- Numerous road projects in Adamawa (Yola–Mubi, Ganye axis, bridges, etc.).
5- During that administration, the Federal Government committed substantial resources, over ₦83 billion at the time, to projects across the Northwest zone, reflecting the collective push for Northern development under a government where a Northerner held the second-highest office.
6 - During Atiku’s time, asphalt roads were constructed from Yola to Mubi.
7- During Atiku’s time, roads were tarred from Jabbi-Lamba to Malabu and Belel.
8- During Atiku’s time, roads were tarred from Ganye to Toungo up to Jamtari.
9- During Atiku’s time, roads were tarred from Jada to Kojoli.
10- During Atiku’s time, bridges were constructed along the Mayo-Belwa, Jada and Ganye road axis.
11- During Atiku’s time, the Federal Technical College Watu in Michika LGA was established.
12- During Atiku’s time, underground petroleum pipelines were laid from Port Harcourt to the NNPC Depot in Yola, Adamawa State.
13- Atiku brought the CGC water project to his hometown, Jada.
14- Atiku launched the affordable health insurance scheme (NHIS) in Jada and in Yola.
15- Atiku was the first to bring GSM mobile communication to Adamawa State.
Security:
- In 2014, during the peak of the Boko Haram crisis, Atiku spent almost one billion naira of his own money to establish the Civilian JTF, who were familiar with Boko Haram tactics and assisted security forces in fighting terrorism.
- Education and Human Capital Revolution
Atiku’s most transformative legacy is in education:
1- Atiku built four primary schools in his hometown, Jada.
2- Atiku built the Government Science Secondary School in his hometown, Jada.
3- Atiku established a scholarship foundation for the less privileged in Jada, and every year he selects indigent students from every LGA in Adamawa State and sponsors them to university for free.
4- He single-handedly founded the American University of Nigeria (AUN) in Yola in 2005, a world-class institution that has become a beacon of excellence in the Northeast, producing graduates with global-standard skills while creating hundreds of jobs through its academy, facilities, and support services.
5- He financed the Northern Education Programme (NEP) at Arewa House, which organized education summits that held Northern governors accountable, leading to doubled enrolments and improved teacher quality across multiple Arewa states.
6- He has awarded countless scholarships to indigent students from Adamawa and beyond, including support for victims of the Chibok abduction.
- Economic Empowerment and Poverty Alleviation:
According to the Nigerian constitution, the Vice President handles the economic affairs of the nation.
During Atiku’s tenure as Vice President:
1- He led the repayment of Nigeria’s foreign debts.
2- Atiku led the federal government’s privatization policy, which created many of Nigeria’s major businessmen such as Dangote, Otedola and the Transcorp Group.
3- He ensured dormant government assets were transferred to private investors, which increased national wealth..
SIX YEARS AFTER LEKKI, THE APC STILL OWES NIGERIANS ANSWERS AND YOUNG PEOPLE A FUTURE.
Six years after the Lekki shooting, Nigeria is still waiting for a clear answer to one devastating question: Who gave the order? Let us also not forget that in October 2020, Bola Tinubu, rather than demonstrating the empathy and compassion the tragedy demanded, suggested that those who suffered casualties during the shooting had questions to answer. He asked: “How were they there? How long were they there? What kind of characters are they?” At a moment when Nigerians were demanding accountability for the violence against peaceful protesters, his response appeared more concerned with questioning the victims than demanding answers from those responsible.
The anger trending across the country today is not a social media performance. It is grief that has been left to harden into distrust. It is the pain of families still demanding answers, and of young people who watched their calls for dignity meet violence and then watched the country move on without the truth they deserve.
The APC has governed Nigeria through these six years. It cannot keep asking Nigerians to remember the dead while refusing to confront the unanswered questions. A government that cannot give citizens confidence that their lives matter has failed one of its most basic duties.
And the hardship young people face today deepens that betrayal. Petrol at ₦1,405 a litre means more than an expensive journey. It means less money for food, school, rent and work. It means a young person can do everything asked of them and still find the door to a decent life shut in their face.
The APC promised renewal. For too many Nigerians, the experience has been rising costs, shrinking opportunity and a future pushed further out of reach. No speech about growth can excuse empty pockets. No anniversary tribute can replace justice. No campaign slogan can erase six years of unanswered questions.
Just this morning, one of my aides told me about a young woman who was forced to resign from her job this month because her salary could no longer cover the cost of getting to work. Her words were as heartbreaking as they were revealing: “The pay no longer covers transport. Everything in Nigeria just dey increase in price. Feels like I'm working for Bolt guys.” Imagine that: a Nigerian who has secured employment, yet can no longer afford to remain employed. This is the cruel reality of an economy in which even those fortunate enough to have jobs are being priced out of earning a living. The policies of this government are stifling not only the unemployed but also hardworking Nigerians whose salaries have become increasingly worthless in the face of rising costs. This is precisely the hardship my Economic Recovery Plan is designed to address, with one overriding objective: to Make Nigeria Affordable Again. My policy response is built around relief people can feel: support tied to fuel refined in Nigeria, with the savings passed on to consumers; more local production to create jobs; protection for minimum wage earners and student support; and funding these measures by cutting waste instead of imposing new taxes.
Young Nigerians deserve the truth about Lekki. They deserve a government that protects life, and an economy that gives work a chance to lead somewhere. Six years on, the APC has had ample time to answer for its record. Nigerians are entitled to ask why the answers and the opportunities are still missing. #LekkiMassacre -AA

We are spreading Atiku’s message of relief and real change to every Nigerian, online and offline. Our resolve is firm: we will not relent until Atiku Abubakar is sworn in as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2027.
Let me advise you, the North. I am a southerner from Rivers State, and I want you to think politically.
Dear North, vote for Atiku Abubakar. Don’t allow other candidates to divide your votes in your own region.
In much of the South, Atiku faces resistance because he is a northerner. In the South-East, many lean towards their own, Obi. In the South-South, the politics of a "southern turn" influences voting as at today. In the Yoruba-speaking South-West, tribal considerations will make them vote "Bola"
So why should you be the one to distribute your votes among southern candidates while they consolidate theirs around their own people.
In 2023, Peter Obi secured significant votes in parts of Northern Nigeria, particularly among Christian dominated communities in the North. Bola Tinubu also won more votes than Atiku in several northern states, including states in the North-West and North-Central.
Meanwhile, Atiku struggled to secure 25% of the votes in most southern states, though he crossed that threshold in Osun State. He also secured at least 25% in some other southern states, including Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta states in the South-South.
Dear North, no be una mumu pass. If other regions can vote strategically for their own, you too can make decisions that protect your political interests.
For 2027, think strategically. Don’t be the only one playing politics with an open hand while others keep their cards close to their chest.

Dear Sir, @atiku
I am bringing to your attention, and that of the Nigerian public, a deeply disturbing statement made by a so called Distinguished Senator, Hunkiyi, in a political gathering, where he was appealing to Governor Uba Sani to continue detaining Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai until after the elections, which raises serious concerns about the politicisation of justice.
If confirmed, this act demands urgent investigation. No politician should be allowed to use state institutions as tools for political persecution or electoral advantage.
Sir, I urge you to bring this matter to the attention of the international community and relevant human rights organisations.
Nigeria cannot afford to turn its judiciary and anti-corruption agencies into instruments of political vendettas. Justice must not be held hostage by politics. Enough is enough!
