I am deeply saddened by the tragic train accident along the Warri–Itakpe corridor near Agbor, Delta State, which claimed the lives of some Nigerians and left many others injured.
My heartfelt condolences go to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives. I also pray for the speedy recovery of those receiving treatment and wish them strength in this difficult time. I extend my sympathies to the people and Government of Delta State over this painful incident. I commend the swift response of the Delta State Government, emergency personnel, and all those involved in the rescue efforts.
This tragedy is a sobering reminder of the urgent need to strengthen safety standards and emergency preparedness across our transportation system. May God grant eternal rest to the departed, comfort the bereaved, and restore good health to the injured. -AA
Despite years of criticism from Obasanjo and others, Atiku remains one of Nigeria's most enduring political figures. His consistency, experience, and leadership qualities have kept him standing where many expected him to fall.
@BashirAhmaad@Bashir Ahmad, are you positing that Kwankwasso didn't exercise due diligence before porting to NDC from ADC? This is what happens when self-centredness overweighs national interest.
Today, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) celebrates a remarkable patriot, institution builder, and visionary leader, Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu, Founder and Founding National Chairman of our great party, as he marks his 67th birthday.
For nearly two decades, Chief Nwosu has remained steadfast in his commitment to building a political platform anchored on democratic values, national unity, inclusion, and principled leadership. Through seasons of challenge and triumph, his conviction that Nigeria deserves a better political culture has never changed.
His legacy is not merely the creation of a political party, but the nurturing of an institution that continues to provide hope for millions of Nigerians who believe in democratic transformation and nation-building.
As he celebrates this milestone, we honour his vision, his sacrifice, and his enduring contributions to strengthening democracy in Nigeria.
On behalf of the National Working Committee, leaders, members, and supporters of the African Democratic Congress, we wish Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu good health, renewed strength, and many more years of impact in service to our nation.
Happy 67th Birthday, Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu.
@emmaikumeh What an interesting time! They became too overbearing, overshot their boundaries as a mere pressure group, arrogantly failed to listen to voices of reasoning and ended up in a contraption where only one person calls the shots. Back to default setting in a cruel way. Ouch!
@HRH_Ujuaku@NigeriaNDCHQ I just read that stanza slowly, carefully and obediently. Something tells me the mobs are been sternly called out. They formed a parallel cult group in ADC, worked against the general interest of the coalition, denigrated party elders but callously projected their king😂😂😂
I am elated at reports of the rescue of 360 persons who were abducted by terrorists in Ngoshe, Borno State.
Even as this brings to an end the ordeal of the abductees and the anguish of their loved ones since they were abducted in March, we are still faced with threats from terrorism and banditry attacks.
I acknowledge the role of the military and all other security agencies that were involved in the safe rescue of the Ngoshe abductees.
I am confident that if provided with the necessary tools and much-needed political leadership, the military will bring to an end the nearly two decades of insurgency.
Even as we savour this rescue, I urge the government and the military to intensify efforts to rescue nearly 100 school children and teachers abducted in Oriire, Oyo State and Mussa, Borno State and all other Nigerians still in the custody of terrorists and bandits.
More importantly, I call for a rejig of our security architecture that places emphasis on intelligence, technology and preemptive actions that nips in the bud terrorist and banditry attacks before they are carried out. -AA
