Never support extremists because it is convenient today, because they will still demand your support when it is most inconvenient and if you deny them they will feel betrayed & evolve into terrorists and terrorism to unleash violence & mayhem on you and your community. Be warned.
This is democracy in action. It is not perfect, but a work in progress. All political parties should be building their internal democracy like the APC. It will not be perfect initially, but would get better with each iteration. Hopefully other political parties will also show us their own process of sponsoring candidates for the general elections. Kudos to the APC.
This must be a joke. For a politician that has no party loyalty, what stops him from decamping to another party to contest for his second term. We have just seen him decamp to two political parties in an election cycle, which should be some sort of record for a presidential candidate.

OPHK TROOPS NEUTRALISE OVER 50 ISWAP TERRORISTS, RECOVER SOPHISTICATED WEAPONS DURING FAILED ATTACK ON BUNI GARI
Troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) have once again demonstrated overwhelming combat superiority, decisively crushing a large-scale, coordinated attack by ISWAP terrorists on Headquarters 27 Brigade at Buni Gari and the Buni Gari Checkpoint in the early hours of Thursday, 8 May 2026. The assault, launched at approximately 0200 hours under the cover of darkness by a large number of terrorists from multiple axes, was met with devastating firepower, tactical brilliance and resolute determination by troops who held their ground and inflicted catastrophic losses on the attackers. No fewer than 50 terrorists were neutralised, while a large cache of arms and ammunition was recovered from the fleeing remnants.
The terrorists initially launched their assault from the western flank before pushing additional forces from the southern flank along the Ganinga Junction axis and later from the south-western flank in a desperate attempt to encircle own troops. However, troops held their ground with exceptional discipline and tactical composure, employing indirect fires to attrit the enemy while executing an offensive-defensive battle that systematically degraded and dismantled the assault from all axes. The terrorists were met with such devastating resistance that they retreated in confusion, evacuating some of their killed and wounded as evidenced by trails of blood along their escape routes. At no point was any part of the camp breached, as the integrity of the location remained fully intact throughout the engagement. Exploitation of the general area confirmed the recovery of 10 terrorist corpses within the immediate vicinity, while human intelligence reports indicate that over 20 additional bodies were scattered across bushes around Gashua, Azare, and Kamuya along the terrorists' withdrawal routes.
The Air Component Command of OPHK played a decisive and complementary role in the engagement, providing persistent Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) coverage that enabled real-time situational awareness and accurate target acquisition. In a synchronised air–land operation, precision air interdiction strikes were conducted on confirmed terrorist positions and fleeing elements, accounting for an additional 20 terrorists neutralised as aircrafts pursued retreating insurgents along their escape corridors. Subsequent human intelligence confirmed scores of additional dead bodies along the withdrawal routes, further underscoring the magnitude of the defeat inflicted on the terrorists.
Items recovered from the engagement include 8 x AK-47 rifles, 2 x General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMG), 2 x Rocket-Propelled Grenade (RPG) tubes, 5 x RPG bombs, 3 x RPG chargers, 2 x boxes of 7.62mm ammunition, 2 x fully loaded magazines, 9 x bandoliers of 7.62mm ammunition, and 3 x Improvised Explosive Device (IED) canisters. The volume and variety of weapons and ordnance recovered further expose the scale of the terrorists' offensive intent and the totality of their failure.
Regrettably, 2 gallant soldiers paid the supreme price in the course of the engagement. Their sacrifice embodies the highest traditions of service, courage, and unwavering commitment to the defence of the nation. Operation HADIN KAI honours their heroism and the bravery of all personnel who stood firm in the face of a determined but ultimately futile enemy assault. These failed attacks further underscore the growing desperation of terrorist elements who continue to suffer devastating losses under sustained operational pressure. OPHK remains resolute and battle-ready, maintaining operational dominance across the Theatre and ensuring that terrorists are denied freedom of action in any part of the North East.
He should have been faster in grabbing what is his. Kwankwaso is not Datti. He is very ambitious. The only reason he is with Peter Obi is because he did not get a better deal from APC and ADC. He is the kind of VP that will work towards getting his principal impeached so that he can become president. He is also the kind of running mate that will take up an appointment with the eventual winner while his principal is still in court fighting for possible overturn of election result.

@seyikanbai@dontomzy14 Any day anybody ever asks me to choose between them and another person, I will choose the other person. I find it arrogant and disgusting when I hear that phrase being used in movies.
