My very dear Aisha Yesufu @AishaYesufu ,

Now that you have permitted me to speak about your journey into politics and the recent non-primary process, I shall.

First, hearty congratulations, Aisha, on your exceptional, standard‑setting run for the FCT Senate seat.

In just a few weeks, you showed what becomes possible when a selfless, sensible, competent, and courageous citizen steps into politics for the right reasons. You embodied everything Nigeria desperately needs more of in public office.

You should be immensely proud. You played by the rules, fought with integrity, and stayed the course until the entrenched barriers that routinely shut out citizens like you reared their familiar head. No reasonable observer is in doubt: what happened to your aspiration is the very disease that continues to cripple governance in Nigeria and across Africa.

Your experience is yet another reminder that until citizens collectively dismantle these systemic barriers, good governance will remain elusive.

I have often spoken publicly about your rare character, your courage, competence, and unwavering commitment to accountability and justice. Long before electoral politics, you earned national relevance through sacrifice and fearless citizenship. You spoke when silence was safer. You stood firm when retreat would have been easier. You have consistently shown that active citizenship matters, which is why I call you one of the greatest occupants of #TheOfficeOfTheCitizen.

At a time when many seek office for privilege, you stepped forward to serve, to legislate, and to institutionalize the values you have long demanded from outside government. Your aspiration symbolized the possibility that principled citizens can transform advocacy into governance.

No honest observer can deny your consistency, patriotism, and resilience. You are one of the most selfless and courageous minds your party- the National Democratic Coalition (NDC)- could have offered in 2027. Yet you asked only for a level playing field and were denied even that basic fairness.

It is therefore baffling that the NDC leadership failed to guarantee a transparent and credible internal process. Political parties are the gatekeepers of democracy. When they fail to practice democracy internally, that becomes a red flag and I hope your party NDC takes the right turns necessary to reclaim that ground. Nigerians yearning for a new political culture are watching, and parties that claim to champion democratic renewal must embody the values they proclaim.

The lesson here is bigger than you, Aisha. It is about whether Nigeria is ready to open political pathways for ethical, competent and capable citizens. Until that answer becomes “yes,” our democracy will continue to recycle mediocrity while excluding excellence.

Aisha, I know you will always hold your head high. You may not have secured the ticket, but you have earned something far more enduring. You have earned the confidence and admiration of countless Nigerians who now better understand the cost of our broken political culture.

Nigeria will yet be grateful that you chose not only to speak as a citizen, but to step forward and offer yourself for public service by running for the Senate.

Your journey has only just begun. We are many that are cheering you on!

Blessings and hugs always. 💜🫂✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾

In terms of population, FCT has more population than 10 States and in terms of land mass, FCT is bigger than 8 states

There is no reason why FCT cannot have 3 Senators and at least 6 House of Representatives Members

Yesterday, May 19th, in Abuja, I attended the Presidential screening organised by our party, which took over two and a half hours. They carefully reviewed all my documents, including my degree certificates, NYSC credentials, and age declarations.

During the process, I also addressed questions regarding my vision for a new Nigeria and the type of leadership our nation urgently needs right now. Following this, I was cleared and received the presidential nomination form I had previously paid for.

I would like to commend the screening committee, led by former governor Sam Egwu, for their thorough and professional approach. Additionally, I appreciate our party's leadership for upholding the democratic process.

A New Nigeria is POssible. - PO

But who's going to 'parade' all your senior officials pocketing several millions of naira weekly from their unholy alliances with federally-back smugglers and gunrunners?

Who? And when are you going to?

I don’t like posting these videos but that’s trying to escape from the reality Nigeria is today. This is what everyone must see.

VIDEO: Nigerian police officers gun down another unarmed student in Calabar. They were only asking for better living and schooling conditions.

Not a terrorist. Not a bandit. Not a kidnapper. A student.

I never thought a day will come in this country where a civilian will be arrested for speaking about the food giving to the Nigerian Army.

Please get your PVC.

You all think Akpabio is the only devil in NASS? You people are not paying attention to BENJAMIN KALU.

APC reps were passing a bill, no soft copies, no hard copies, only 2 copies, one with Kalu and the other with the APC rep sponsoring the bill.

An amendment to the ELECTORAL ACT o!

Dear Local Government Chairmen and Councilors across Nigeria…….when will community building stop being an afterthought?

I saw a park in my community here in the Uk 🇬🇧 , and I don’t think you need much to recreate something similar.

The whole play ground is less than two plots of land, safe playgrounds, sports areas all from council tax. Why is ‘no community’ normal here?

Our kids deserve more than just school. As @sam_adeyemi said, to change Nigeria, we need those who’ve seen better.

I do t want to believe that you all think that community building is all about sharing rice …

This video of a Nigerian undergraduate in Jos being tortured by terrorists is one too many and should spark protests across the country against the APC.
