I am deeply saddened by the tragic boat mishap that occurred earlier today in the Gorau community of Goronyo Local Government Area, Sokoto State, which has reportedly claimed the lives of 41 people.
The loss of so many lives in a single incident is profoundly painful and heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy.
I commend the rescuers and everyone who took part in the emergency response for their courageous efforts to save lives and assist the victims.
I also urge the relevant authorities to promptly and thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident, and to strengthen safety measures on our waterways to prevent the recurrence of such a devastating tragedy.
I extend my heartfelt sympathy to the people and Government of Sokoto State, and I pray for the peaceful repose of all those who lost their lives. - RMK
@vanguardngrnews If the president wanted, that means even if the masses voted for Adeleke you will announce APV candidate as the winner this is not democracy but total RUBBISH.
If the president had wanted to win Osun election at all costs, I would be involved, and I would have been there, and Governor would have known that it would have been different.

These newly surfaced clips of my interactions with Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola are yet another reminder that my commitment to the struggle for justice, democracy, and the liberation of Nigeria did not begin today. Long before many of those now occupying positions of power found their voices, I was already on the frontlines of the June 12 struggle, standing with Nigerians against military dictatorship and demanding that the people’s mandate be respected.
The irony is striking: many of the opportunists, enablers, and pretenders who either opposed, ignored, or later hijacked that democratic struggle are now in positions of authority and seek to suppress those who remained faithful to its ideals. They may wield state power today, but history has shown repeatedly that repression cannot extinguish a just cause.
These clips are not merely historical artifacts; they are evidence of consistency. They show a young activist standing with the democratic movement when it was dangerous to do so, and they connect directly to the same principles that continue to guide the struggle today.
Those who now deploy the machinery of the state against dissent should remember that every generation produces its oppressors and its resisters. The oppressors enjoy temporary power; the resisters ultimately inherit history.
They will be defeated. The cause of justice endures. The struggle continues. #TakeItBack #Sowore2027 #SoworeForPresident
Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan dropped a TRUTH BOMB:
“The problem in Africa is our electoral system. People manipulate elections to remain in power at all costs.
”This is the ROOT of our continent’s pain!Leaders don’t serve, they scheme. They rig, buy votes, suppress opposition, and twist constitutions just to sit tight forever. No real accountability. Just recycled failure: poverty, youth unemployment, brain drain, and billions stolen while the people suffer.
It’s not about parties or tribes. It’s a BROKEN SYSTEM designed for self-perpetuation from Nigeria to Kenya, Uganda to Zimbabwe.But enough! Africa’s youth are awake. We demand independent electoral bodies, biometric voting, real-time results, enforced term limits, and leaders who fear the ballot box, not the people.
Power belongs to USnot to any “godfather” or dynasty.
