I wish to express my profound appreciation for the privilege, which you have bestowed on me, of leading our great party, the African Democratic Congress, into the next elections as its Presidential Candidate. I am truly humbled and excited by this singular honour. We demonstrated that while democracy is being strangled and squashed by the ruling party and its oppressive and anti-democratic government, democracy is alive and well in the African Democratic Congress. In our party, members are allowed to express their views, to have ambitions and to contest for elective positions in a free, fair and transparent process. Our great party is a coalition built through hard work, immense sacrifices and compromises, guided by our determination to rescue our country’s democracy which is facing its greatest threat since the return to democratic rule in 1999. As I speak, virtually all opposition political parties in the country have leadership crisis engineered by the APC government, the INEC and elements in the judiciary. And opposition figures continue to be harassed and intimidated, including those languishing in detention, such as Mallam Nasir El-Rufai who distinguished himself as a public servant, including as a Minister and two-term Governor of Kaduna State. He has been in detention for three months despite court orders granting him bail. He has been denied the right to celebrate two important religious holidays with his family in addition to being denied the opportunity to be by his mother’s side as she took her last breath. All because he is a leading opposition figure! This kind of cruelty must stop. The government continues to harass, intimidate and coerce opposition politicians to join the APC using the security agencies as well as the agencies which were set up by a previous government to fight corruption. Under this government, once a person joins the APC, the harassment ceases and the charges against them magically disappear. This abuse of power must stop. Great care was taken to ensure that due diligence was done in the process of forming this coalition. Yet the government and the INEC continue to undermine it, even trying to deregister it. Let me warn that any further attempt to interfere in the affairs of the party by the Presidency, INEC and judiciary will be fiercely resisted. Enough is enough. I congratulate my fellow contestants for this ticket to represent our great party in the elections scheduled for early next year. I know that you are driven by your patriotism and commitment to a better Nigeria and improved life for our people. I know that, like me, you are deeply concerned about the rapid descent of our country into economic disaster, catastrophic insecurity, extreme nepotism, political intolerance and the drive towards a one-party state by the current government and its party. I thank you for your healthy participation in this democratic process. I must state at this juncture that this is not the time to celebrate. No one was defeated because we are one party and we all need to recognise the fierce urgency of the moment. Therefore, we have to unite, as we pledged before this process, to work to pull our country and our people out of the destructive grip of a corrupt, incompetent and polarising APC government. I thank the primary elections Committee for organising peaceful, free, fair and transparent primaries. I thank the various leadership organs of our party, the various stakeholders, and volunteers for their hard work and dedication and all our party members and supporters for their efforts, patience and conduct during the process. With the primaries behind us, the real hard work is about to begin. We have to prepare to campaign hard to win the next general elections in order to begin the difficult process of rescuing our country and its long-suffering people from this government.

@DearS_o_n Don't forget yoyr Dad too.

When the money finally comes, don't forget your Mom. That woman deserves the world and more.

@boye4christ2006 The message is clear but the story seem like old nollywood movies 😂

If you’re in the UK 🇬🇧, kindly take note. I just finished speaking to someone now on the phone who was denied Post study visa in the UK 🇬🇧. What happened? He said “home office sent him an email that he worked more than 20 hours in a company”. He was given some few days to respond to the allegations and when he responded, his post study visa was denied. He explained to me that the company use to pay it to his account details without using his NIN though he said he suspect some Ghanaians who are full staffs in the company might have reported to home office. At the moment, he has been given 14 days to leave the UK 🇬🇧. Therefore company is under serious investigation as well by the home office. One thing is certain, he’s leaving UK 🇬🇧 this week 💔💔💔. As an international students in the UK 🇬🇧, DON’T WORK MORE THAN 20 HOURS. A word is enough for the wise.

Use everything at your disposal to win against women. Don't pity them, they'll not pity you.

It took me 35 years to realize that the cheat code to win in life is just confidence.

Dating a broke girl is self harm, she will slow down your progress while feeling entitled to your money

@kepukepunews The daughter is very right abd correct. You are simply not her biological dad, but you only overplayed your role. A man started a family and not joined a family.

I married a s!πgle M0ther who has a 3 year old daughter. I promised her I would take care of her and her ch!ld. We later have 3 ch!ldren of our own. No one could tell if I was not the father of my stepdaughter. I love her and trained her at the best university. She’s now a medical doctor and 27 years old. When she told me she was getting married, I was the happiest man. I paid for everything that would make the wedding successful. The hall, food, and dr!πks, wedding cake, engagement party, reception, and everything. So a few days before the wedding my daughter told me she would want her biological father to walk her down the aisle and her mother supported her. This was the father who didn’t offer any assistance to the child all these years, they met again 6 months ago. After 24 years of my sw£∆t, he wants to reap where he didn’t sow. I didn’t argue with my wife and daughter, I called all the vendors I paid to and C∆πcelled the arrangement and collected my money. I told my daughter to tell her father to p∆y for those things if he wants his daughter to marry on that day and I travelled out of the country. They are now calling me a w!!cked man. What’s your opinion on my actions – A Nigerian man has come forward to share how he C∆πcelled his daughter’s wedding because the groom’s father wanted to take his glory, sparking debate online.

@instablog9ja The funny thing is 0ffline this lady is giving a guy she loves money.

@Kene_Nnewi More women offline will do anything to he 2nd wife to a man. Forget what you see online. There's scarcity of men.

F!ghting over a married man in 2026? While their mates are out there working hard to better their future.. Nawa o.

@Chisomxoxo_ The problem is Nigeria are bothered about everything except bad government. Leave people alone and allow couples/partners to enjoy their relationship in whatever way. In my opinion nice picture and good partners.

I find this disrespectful. This is meant to be private not done in the public. What do you think?

Britain colonized Singapore. Singapore is now richer than Britain. Africans are responsible for their own suffering.

@buffys They support Manchester United or Chelsea FC.

what’s a sign of low intelligence?

@boye4christ2006 You guys still see N500 million of 2009 as the same with N500 million in 2026. Money that can't buy a house in most part of Abuja and Lagos.

Rejected ₦500M contract because of British Passport. My friend who has COS as a Civil Engineer in the UK 🇬🇧 refused a ₦500M contract in Nigeria because of his visa. He’s going to spend One year in Nigeria for the project which will disrupt his visa. If you’re in his shoes , would you accept or reject it?

@WorldlyHQ The mentally that people thinks that heaven us up and hell is down is so funny. Especially when we know the earth is spherical and not flat.😂

Is this real angel?

@Madridghost1 Only Nigerians make a fool of themselves when they go abroad. This should stop in 2026 pls.

Things that choked me after moving from Uk to Canada as a Nigerian living abroad 🇬🇧🇨🇦

@instablog9ja Even if Canada decides to give citizenship within 6 months. I can't leave the UK for Canada. E get why.

Lady laments after making a discovery about living in the UK compared to Canada

@PastorMarvy The heat in Nigeria is a joke compared to the heat currently in London (UK). Everything isn't about forming boss.

I find it extremely funny when an African raised in Africa is complaining about UK heat. Who are you forming for?
