So, of all the Igbos that has made impacts in Nigeria, Tinubu nominated Joe Igbokwe for a national honour.
He also nominated Sam Omatseye, who described Obi as a de+ad man through an article he titled obident or obituary before the 2023 election.
Omatseye, separatist and extremist in writing, a media practitioner who cannot hide his preference for Tinubu, and a subtle anti-Ndi Igbo?
Our National honour has become a souvenir under Tinubu.

PRESIDENT TINUBU NAMES 18 SOLDIER-DEMOCRATS OF JUNE 12 STRUGGLE
President Bola Tinubu has named 18 Nigerians as soldier-democrats of the June 12 struggle. There are:
Major General MA Garba
Brigadier General Lawal Jaafaru Isa
Col Umar Farouk Ahmed;
Col Sambo Dasuki;
Col Lawan Gwadabe;
Brigadier Jonathan Ndam Temlong
Col Musa Shehu;
Major General Chris Eze;
Major General Harris Dzarma;
Col Isa Jibrin;
Maj. General Joseph Oshanupin;
Col Olusegun Oloruntoba, Olugbede of Gbede Kingdom)

Brigadier Yahaya Abubakar, the Current Etsu Nupe, who is already the holder of the CFR title.
“Two governors from the South-West once came to me complaining that cattle rearers were destroying farmlands in their states. I asked them what had happened to the grassroots security structures — from traditional rulers to local governments — that were meant to meet regularly, identify the root causes of such problems, and expose criminal elements within their communities. Who destroyed that system? Go back and fix it. Give your people a sense of belonging.
I do not like it when people campaign to become governors, and after being entrusted with the people’s mandate, they fail to perform and begin shifting responsibilities to others.
We have three tiers of government: federal, state, and local. Yet we have practically weakened the local government system. A local government receives about ₦300 million as allocation, and a governor may instruct the chairman to sign that he received the full amount, while only ₦100 million is actually given to him, and the chairman remains silent. Is that how we will continue?”
— Late Muhammadu Buhari
May Allah grant him mercy.
Today, on Airpeace flight P47190, 6:40 AM flight enroute to Port Harcourt from Lagos, we escaped what would have been a fatal plane crash.
We couldn’t land in Port Harcourt, we are back to Lagos.
This is this most horrific flight experience I have had in my years of flying.
I have cried twice already. Once I am stable, I will write about what happened.
Dear Lord, thanks for another chance to live.
My fellow Nigerians,
On this Democracy Day, I extend my warm greetings to every Nigerian at home and abroad. Today is more than a celebration of democracy. It is an opportunity for reflection.
It is a day to slow down and take stock of where we are as a nation, where we have come from, and where we are headed. It is a moment to honestly assess the state of our country, the quality of our leadership, the strength of our institutions, and the role each of us is playing in shaping Nigeria's future.
As we reflect, we must also give ourselves grace and gratitude. To every Nigerian who has refused to give up, who continues to work hard, speak up, raise a family, build a business, serve a community, defend the truth, or simply hold on to hope in difficult times: THANK YOU. Your resilience matters. Your sacrifices matter. Your commitment to a better Nigeria matter.
But reflection must lead to intention.
The Nigeria we desire will not emerge by chance. It will be built by citizens who choose, every day, to take responsibility for the future they want to see. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Nation-building is not the responsibility of government alone. It belongs to all of us.
Today, I invite every Nigerian to make a conscious decision.
Decide to be more engaged.
Decide to be more informed.
Decide to hold leaders accountable.
Decide to support what is right, even when it is difficult.
Decide to contribute, in whatever way you can, to the progress of your community and your country.
The framework (on the principle developed by Chine and Chuba Ezekwesili) is simple:
Reflect on where we are.
Be grateful for how far we have come.
Take responsibility for what must be done.
Act intentionally to create the future we desire.
History has shown that no nation transforms because a few people wished for change. Nations transform when ordinary citizens make an extraordinary commitment to a shared future.
Nigeria still holds immense promise. Our challenges are real, but so is our potential. The task before us is great, but it is not greater than the collective determination of Nigerians who refuse to surrender their hope.
Let this Democracy Day renew our resolve.
Let us slow down and reflect.
Let us be grateful.
Let us take responsibility.
Let us act with intention.
Together, we can birth the Nigeria of our dreams.
Nigeria will be #OK.
Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria.

No matter wetin anybody think about Nnamdi Kanu
One thing wey every civilized society suppose agree on be say:
Justice delayed na justice denied.
Too many years don pass.
Too many court appearances.
Too many arguments.
Too many headlines.
At some point, a nation must ask itself:
Are we looking for justice?
Or are we simply extending a story that should have reached a conclusion long ago?
You fit support am.
You fit oppose am.
But fairness no suppose depend on whose side you dey.
The true strength of any democracy no be how e treat people wey agree with government.
Na how e treat people wey challenge am.
If a man get case, hear am.
If e get answer to give, make e give am.
If e get punishment to face, make e face am.
But let justice move.
Because when cases drag for years and years, everybody lose.
The individual lose.
The system lose.
The country lose.
Nigeria needs lots of healing.
Nigeria needs closure.
Nigeria needs justice wey no dey crawl.
Tinubu my bro, pls wake up and do the needful.
DEMOCRACY IS NOT A GIFT, IT IS A RESPONSIBILITY
A message from Opuda (Alabo) Dumo Lulu-Briggs on the occasion of the 2026 Democracy Day.
It is another democracy day when we celebrate the sacrifices of our heroes past in the enthronement and sustenance of democracy in our country.
For us in Rivers State, democracy has in the last 27 years, since 1999, impacted us in different ways. It carried both promise and pain, sometimes in the same election cycle.
But democracy is the only system where the fisherman in Bille, the market woman in Mile 3, the farmer in Emohua and the teacher in Bori has just one vote, one voice and one stake. Democracy is not perfect but it remains the best form of government.
On a day like this, we only need to remind ourselves that power belongs to the people. It is a day to remind us that we own Rivers State together - Ikwerre, Ijaw, Ogoni, Etche, Ogba, Ndoki, Ndoni, Omuma, Abua, Ekpeye etc.
Our founding fathers fought for the creation of this state so that we and our children can live freely, vote without fear, speak without threat, and build without being inhibited.
Today, the disappointments and weariness in our people’s voices are loud and I understand it. My answer, and I hope yours too, is not to walk away but to reclaim what belongs to us.
Our forebears fought for it and we must not trade that inheritance for division. We have the responsibility to protect and preserve our state.
Rivers State sits on enormous wealth. Our waterways, our blue economy, our brilliant and restless young people who deserve better. Democracy becomes real when the right to choose, the right to demand accountability, and the right to know are guaranteed.
On this day, I urge us not to give up but to renew our faith in the unity and progress of Rivers State. We will disagree without violence, we will compete without hate, we will protect our state, its people, its unity, its wealth and its future.
Rivers State shall rise again.
Happy Democracy Day.
God bless Rivers State.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Yours ceaselessly,
Opuda Alabo Dumo Lulu-Briggs
#DLBLegacy #NDC
I used to defend Senator Dickson before now that the only reason he likes all the NDC activities to happen in his house and to be practically involved is because he doesn't want an infiltration into the party by either the ruling party or co-opposition.
But with Dickson's recent moves, I think I understand the man better.
I now think the actual reason Dickson registered NDC is because he wants to remain in the business of politics as a Sole Administrator through NDC and nothing more.
The Obi and Kwankwaso defection to the party was just an afterthought to give the party a wider reach and greater visibility.
But now, Dickson has started to reason that if he allows a free flow of the movement, it may eventually swallow his grip on the structure.
Dickson would not want a wave of the movement to overshadow its original intention of remaining in political business through NDC.
That is why he is making his position very clear.
But I understand him.
A man who opens a business would naturally want to make profit from it before going on to do charity with it.
The only thing I expected from Dickson was the ability to understand that Nigeria is presently at a crossroads where every political party discussion should revolve around how to improve governance and return Nigeria to her pride of place and glory where she truly belongs.
I expected him to know that no price is too big to pay for anyone who genuinely claims to be fighting for a better Nigeria at the moment.
But I also understand that a businessman will remain a businessman, no matter what is at stake.
That is why my only advice to Obidients is to focus on the bigger picture.
If you go to buy a commodity from a business owner, your primary concern should be how to get that commodity and deliver it home safely. You should have very little concern about how much profit the business owner makes from each commodity.
Peter Obi is the commodity of the Obidients, and what matters most is how to deliver him to the expected destination. Every other thing is a distraction.
I am Ekene Aninze Esq.
To the glory of God, I humbly acknowledge my nomination as the deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 Lagos State governorship election.
Today is a reminder of the endless possibilities that have defined our Lagos. It is my hope that my story continues to serve as a reminder that there is no ceiling to our greatness.
As a woman of faith, I have no doubt that God is the architect of our lives, and for this reason, I thank God for His benevolence and grace, which continue to order my steps along this journey.
I convey my deepest gratitude to our president, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose exemplary leadership has deepened democratic values in our country and under whose leadership our nation is now on a stronger economic footing. My sincere appreciation to the first lady, Her Excellency Sen. Oluremi Tinubu for her encouragement and support.
I thank our governor, His Excellency Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, and Her Excellency Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu; the candidate of our party, Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat; his wife, Mrs Oluremi Hamzat; all the leaders, elders, and great men and women of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State led by our chairman, Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi; and all the executives and party structure from the state to the ward level.
I extend my profound appreciation to the leadership of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), for considering me worthy of this responsibility. I am especially grateful to the leadership of the Governance Advisory Council led by our respected and revered GAC leader, Prince Tajudeen Olusi, for their collective wisdom, which has continued to serve as an anchor for our party in Lagos State.
I appreciate our traditional rulers, community leaders, grassroots mobilisers, women and youth leaders, and countless supporters across the state.
I extend my deepest gratitude to the people of Badagry and especially Badagry West, whom I have previously had the privilege to serve. Their encouragement has remained a constant source of inspiration, strength, and faith.
This moment belongs to all of us, especially our young people, women, and girls. I am grateful for your outpour of support and look forward to meeting you all in the coming days.
It is a tremendous honour to fly the flag of our great party as deputy governorship candidate to our candidate, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat. Together, we shall work to consolidate the model of progressive governance that has distinguished Lagos as a centre of excellence and example to other subnationals.
To every Lagosian, I thank you all. May God bless the people and government of Lagos State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

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.
A new era of true democracy is POssible. -PO
