The love of country must always be greater than the pain of disappointment or disagreement.
As we mark Democracy Day, let us remember that the progress of our democracy has often depended on men and women who chose principle over personal interest, nation over self, and reconciliation over division.
May we find the courage to make those same choices today.
Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria.

@funsodoherty@UnkleAyo Sir you didn't win the election on popular votes by members in Lagos. It will be dishonourable to steal from the back end. It is our wish that you won but you didn't commit grassroot engagement or did you visit any LGA in Lagos before the Primaries.
I pray you keep your honour.

What June 12 Should Mean to Us Nigerians
Today, we observe a day that should mean a great deal to us as a people who cherish democratic principles. Every year on June 12, the conversation inevitably turns to a critical assessment of the state of our nation. It serves as an annual benchmark for asking important questions: Are our elections today as transparent as they were in 1993? Is the social contract being honoured? Are the institutions of governance truly serving the people?
Ultimately, June 12 is a powerful blend of reflection and aspiration. It honours a fractured past while serving as a constant and foundational reminder of the immense power inherent in the collective democratic will of the Nigerian people.
For us in Nigeria, June 12 is not merely a date on the calendar; it is the emotional and structural bedrock of our modern democratic identity. Officially recognised as Democracy Day, June 12 carries deep historical, political, and social significance, representing both a monumental tragedy and the ultimate triumph of the collective will of the people.
To understand what June 12 means to Nigeria, one must examine its history, its evolution, and its enduring symbolism.

Kenneth Okonkwo said Peter Obi wanted money.
Peter Obi's response was like: "I don dey collect shishi." π
Then he dropped a demand letter with conditions that looked almost impossible to satisfy like Nassir Elrufia bail conditions.
A N5 billion damages claim, public apology, withdrawal across every platform, equal prominence, written undertaking, and a seven-day deadline.
At that point, it stopped looking like a settlement letter and started looking like a boarding pass to court.
The point seems clear: Peter Obi does not appear interested in collecting Kenneth Okonkwo's money. He appears interested in testing Kenneth's allegations before a judge.
Compare it with the Deji matter. The demands were far less aggressive and did not involve money as damage claims. That suggested room for settlement.
This one feels different.
If Kenneth Okonkwo says he has evidence, then the courtroom may be the place where that evidence is finally examined.
As things stand, the only settlement in sight appears to be a court hearing.
Unless Atiku becomes President and decides to issue Kenneth Okonkwo a presidential pardon as a political messenger
