Kwankwasiya are mixing campaigns with effective voter education. That is commendable and should be adopted in other parts of the country. People should be taught how to vote correctly for NDC and showm the logo.
🚨José Mourinho on Vinícius Júnior returning to the Real Madrid XI:
🎙️ Reporter: “José, since Vinícius received his red card and suspension, Madrid have won 8/8. Now he’s back. Does that change your system?”
🗣️ José Mourinho: “Yes, it changes the team.
“Not because the players who replaced him did badly. Quite the opposite.
“They gave me very good performances.
“Diomande gave us a different edge. He was direct, aggressive and difficult to predict.
“Bellingham gave us the ability to arrive from midfield and hurt teams in different moments.
“Arda gave us quality from the right. He can come inside, combine, slow the game down and then suddenly create something.
“They all deserve credit.
“But Vinícius is back.
“And when a player like Vinícius is available, I am not going to leave him on the bench simply because we have won eight games without him.
“I am starting him.
“I know people will question it.
“They will say, ‘Why change something that is working?’
“Because I am not interested in protecting a winning streak.
“I am interested in making Real Madrid stronger.
“And Vinícius makes us stronger.
“He gives us something that is very difficult to replace: the ability to destroy a defensive structure with one run.
“When he receives the ball and attacks the full-back, the entire defense has to react.
“That changes everything around him.
“Now put Mbappé on the other side.
“Suddenly, the opponent cannot simply concentrate on one threat.
“If they move players toward Vinícius, they leave space for Kylian.
“If they protect Kylian, Vinícius gets isolated against one defender.
“And if both defenders stay wide, Bellingham has space to attack through the middle.
“That is the problem I want to give the opponent.
“I want their coach standing on the touchline thinking, ‘Who do we stop first?’
“And honestly, I don’t care if Madrid fans become angry because Arda doesn’t start every match.
“Arda is a fantastic player.
“But being a fantastic player does not mean you have a guaranteed shirt.
“The same applies to Diomande.
“The same applies to everyone.
“This is Real Madrid.
“You don’t choose the XI to make players happy.
“You choose the XI to win.
“Arda will have his moments.
“Diomande will have his moments.
“Bellingham will continue to be extremely important.
“But Vinícius is not returning to the bench.
“He is returning to the starting XI.
“And I want to see what happens when Madrid have Vinícius, Mbappé and Bellingham attacking the same defense.
“Because the eight wins without Vinícius are a good achievement.
“But they don’t scare me.
“What scares opponents is knowing that now Vinícius is back.
“And when he starts running at them again, they will remember exactly why they were happy he was suspended.”
Arewa has dropped a full track for APC, and it is not a campaign jingle. When the North starts singing against you, the matter don pass rally. 2027 is loading.
Hajia Rahama is indeed a leader! Her command of English is impressive.
I love how confidently she openly challenges @inecnigeria and its staff member, Hauwa Buhari, over the conflicting reports surrounding the opposition party’s primary election in Kano.
Where is Imran U. Wakili?
By his own account, police officers stormed the home of @IU_Wakilii on Thursday, towed his car, seized his younger brother in his place, and ordered him to report to the station. He said he was on his way. Since then, his family has heard nothing. This is what Bola Tinubu's APC government has made of Nigeria: a country where a young man's opinions can cost him his liberty, and where the police take a brother hostage to bring a critic in.
Let me be clear. If Imran is in police custody, the Nigeria Police must say so today, tell his family where he is being held, state the charge against him, and give him access to his lawyer. Holding a citizen in silence is not policing; it is intimidation, and Nigerians see it for exactly what it is. Bola may silence one voice, but he cannot silence a nation that is already hungry, angry, and watching.
As President, I will restore the rule of law, protect every Nigerian's right to speak freely, and ensure that no citizen ever disappears for holding the government to account. Criticism is not a crime.
Free Imran now. -AA
The Nigerian Police reportedly went to the house of this Twitter influencer @IU_Wakilii and when they couldn’t find him, they arrested his brother in his place and towed his car. What exactly is his brother’s offence? Why should an innocent family member be made to suffer for someone else’s alleged offence?
Liability is personal. A person should not be arrested or detained merely because they are related to, or share a family with a suspect.
ARREST IN LIEU IS ILLEGAL. The Nigerian Police must respect the rule of law and stop subjecting innocent family members to intimidation and unlawful detention.
Is being in opposition now a criminal offence in Nigeria? Must people who disagree with those in power be subjected to harassment, intimidation and persecution? Since when did expressing dissent become a crime?

URGENT PUBLIC STATEMENT ON THE DISAPPEARANCE OF IMRAN (@IU_WAKILII)
I make this statement with deep concern as Imran's fellow colleague, associate in the El-Rufa'i Camp, and Convener of the El-Rufa'i Youth Movement.
Yesterday, Imran sent me a statement and specifically requested that I make it public if we became unable to reach him or establish his whereabouts. In keeping with his request, I am making the statement public.
It has now been over 12 hours since I last spoke with Imran. Despite several attempts by members of the El-Rufa'i Camp youth to reach him, all efforts have been unsuccessful.
We are deeply concerned about his safety and whereabouts.
I appeal to the general public and security agencies to assist us in locating him. Anyone with useful information should contact:
X: @ElRufai_Live / @ElrufaiBoys
Email: [email protected]
Phone: +234 808 213 1009
Below is the statement Imran sent to me yesterday, which he requested I publish if we could not find him.
We want to know that Imran is safe. Please help amplify this message.
Signed:
Convener, El-Rufa'i Youth Movement
Imran's statement
"Earlier today, police personnel came to my house looking for me, but unfortunately, I was not around. They told those they met that the matter was urgent and that I needed to report to them. However, I was occupied at the time and could not immediately attend to their request.
After a while, they left, and I thought that was all for the moment. After a while they returned and this time, the situation took a different turn.
When they came back, they arrested my younger brother and towed my car. According to them, I had to present myself before they could release him. The reason they gave was that the car I have been driving for over two years was allegedly a stolen vehicle.
What makes this situation particularly surprising to me is that before I started using the car, my brother has been using it for atleast two to three years. In other words, this is not a vehicle that either of us started using yesterday. Yet, I am now faced with an allegation that has resulted in the arrest of my younger brother.
I am making this public because I am on my way to meet the police now. I believe it is important that people are aware of the situation, particularly because my brother has been arrested in connection with a matter they say concerns me.
I will be going there to understand exactly what is happening and to find out the basis of this allegation.
For now, I do not want to jump to conclusions or make claims about what I do not yet know.
I will provide further updates as the situation unfolds.
Thank you.
Signed Imran U Wakili"

Has this politics gone to this level?
We received some visitors from Abuja. As we are preparing to lodge them, I was told by our contact that all hotels in sokoto have been booked by the state government. I asked if there is any activity that require all the hotels in sokoto to be massively booked.
I was then told that the booking was done to prevent the lodging of those coming for the ADC presidential flag off. I was also infotmed that a particular ministry directed all the hotels to shut down and those who booked should be asked to vacate.
This is a worrisome development in the political history of our dear state. I recall similar episodes took place when Sokoto Advancement forum wanted to showcase and deliver a very historic paper on the menase of drug abuse in sokoto state. It was reported that orders from the above have instructed all the hotels in sokoto not to allow the use of their conference Hall.
While I'm oblivious to the fact that HE in his right senses will not authorise this, I strongly believe that those who allowed this scenario are also very much aware that this act will get more sympathy to those who are being victimized through the instrument of government force and machinery.lets remember that this is a temporary but transient power.
Our trajectory in political history showcased that those who abuse their offices at a later time meet with those whom they abused when the office is no longer. Therefore let's thread with caution as we discharge our moral and public responsibilities.
It is worthy of note that while I do not support any political party as I don't believe or subscribe to their fake ideologies, I do not also support any government action that puts the general masses under unnecessary hardship especially in an attempt to humiliate a political opponent. The politicking is taken too far as far as I'm concerned. I therefore pray to the relevant authorities concerned to thread carefully and reconsider their actions as the aggression may garner more support to those opposition you want to put to shame at all cost.
It is also not fair to impose your political matter on legitimately operating businesses within the state by Coercing them close down their businesses and or flush out existing customers who were there before, simply because a person in the opposition party is coming to launch his campaign in the state. I'm not sure if this is islamic as well.
This behavior has since eroded the peaceful nature we enjoyed as the state with high decorum especially to visitors. My final advice on those who matters in this issue is for them to put a good conscience into their heart in judging themselves and their actions as they also have a limited time stay in that position if God Almighty wills it.
It could 4 years again if they eventually make it. They will then be judged by the history and their various previous aggregates.
May God Almighty continue to bless our state amin.
Be delusional in your Tahajjud… cry for the dua you think is impossible, and keep turning to Allah even when nothing seems to be changing… because your situation may be beyond your control, but it will never be beyond Allah’s power. He is Al-Qadeer
As Governor of Kano State, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso made education a priority. The Obi–Kwankwaso ticket equally places education at the heart of its vision for Nigeria’s future.
BREAKING: Mallam Nasir El-Rufai’s blood sample tested positive for Enterococcus faecium, a bacterium that can cause serious infections. The laboratory report, dated Oct 16, also indicates that the bacterium is resistant to vancomycin, with concerns about a possible bloodstream infection.
On October 22, El-Rufai’s doctor recommended urgent hospital admission, treatment and specialist consultation, warning that the proposed antibiotics might not adequately treat the infection.
Yet, those holding him appear more concerned about keeping him behind bars than ensuring he receives appropriate medical care. When urgent medical recommendations are not prioritised, questions about deliberate neglect become unavoidable, because even convicted bandits are taken to the hospital when the need arises.
What exactly do they want? From denying Mallam Nasir El-Rufai access to his doctor to now refusing to follow medical recommendations, recommendations that even their own doctors agree with.
If you saw Mallam’s picture yesterday, you could tell the man is sick. He is only trying to be strong despite everything he is going through.
What exactly do you want from this man?
