"Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others change their principles for the sake of their party." Winston Churchill Today, May 9th, I attended the 1st convention of my latest party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Abuja, Nigeria. The convention was successful and continued to show the resilience of Nigerians to change I express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the NDC family, led by the distinguished Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, for inviting us and for the generosity of spirit with which they have accommodated us at this critical moment in our national journey. I also wish to express profound gratitude to the African Democratic Congress(ADC), particularly Distinguished Senator David Mark, for providing a democratic platform and showing uncommon understanding when the ongoing litigation forced us out of the Labour Party and the New Nigeria People's Party, NNPP respectively. That spirit of solidarity must remain the foundation upon which a better Nigeria will be built. Today, the most painful aspect of our political existence is that many who once benefited from democratic governance have now become willing accessories to the destruction of democracy itself. Those who once fought for justice now openly celebrate electoral injustice. Those who once spoke against impunity now defend coercion, manipulation, intimidation, and outright political gangsterism, especially against opposition voices. What we are witnessing is not politics; it is a systematic assault on democracy and the will of the people. Nigeria today stands at a dangerous crossroads. Our democracy is under severe threat. Our nation is drifting without direction, and our people are passing through immense suffering. Across the world, Nigeria is increasingly described as a failing and disgraced nation. This is not the destiny God ordained for our great country. It was not always so, and it must never be allowed to remain so. Across virtually every recognised indicator of good governance - accountability, political stability, rule of law, control of corruption, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and the separation of powers - Nigeria continues to record alarming failures. The institutions that should protect the people are weakening daily, while the burden on ordinary citizens grows heavier with each passing moment. Today, over 140 million Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty. Tens of millions of young people remain unemployed or underemployed. Inflation continues to crush families. Businesses are shutting down. Farmers can no longer safely access their farms. Communities live in fear. In this month alone, hundreds of innocent Nigerians have lost their lives to insecurity, while many others have been kidnapped, displaced, or thrown deeper into poverty. The most heartbreaking question confronting us is this: Who consoles the grieving mother whose child was abducted on the way to school? Who speaks for the father who can no longer feed his family despite working every day? Who defends the young Nigerian whose dreams have been destroyed by a nation that rewards connections over competence and corruption over character? Our present tragedy is not accidental. It is the direct consequence of years of deliberate sabotage by a political class that prospers by dividing the people and weakening the nation. Nigeria is not a poor country; rather, we are being looted into poverty. We have abundant human and natural resources, yet we remain trapped in deprivation because leadership has failed to place the common good above personal interest. Our choice as a people is therefore clear: whether to surrender to despair and national decline, or to summon the courage to rescue our country and rebuild it on the foundations of unity, equity, justice, competence, and productivity.

Declan Rice has more wins than Bruno has games played. That’s nasty.

Alexis Sanchez was tearing this league apart but couldn’t even sniff a nomination for the PFA player of the year award because when you play for the Arsenal you have to work twice as hard to get half the recognition.

Una no know her house 🙄🙄 If na Justice Crack, una go know him GPS

He has a point.. 🤔

“What a Wicked Governor. He Only Installed 4 Street Lights Only Where They’re Doing His Mother’s Burial, While The Rest Of The Area And Streets In The Same Location Are In Total Darkness. Edo Is Shining Indeed.” ~ Edo Residents Call Out Monday Okpebholo

The only reason he won was because Arsenal had a split vote for Rice Raya Gabriel. Genuinely, cant let this happen for PFA POTY. We will think of a way to unanimously agree because that is criminal. Also, it just shows we have multiple top performers in our team.

“The Shinning light from the Southeast” Demola and Somto want finish us in 2023😂😂😂

My brother and my friend. You will win.

MY SPEECH AS THE NATIONAL LEADER OF THE NDC AT OUR INAUGURAL NATIONAL CONVENTION HELD TODAY “First, they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, and then you win.” — Mahatma Gandhi My fellow compatriots, leaders, and delegates. I join the National Chairman and members of the Protem National Executive Committee to warmly welcome you all to our nation’s capital and to this historic venue for our inaugural national convention. Today, I address you with a deep sense of honour, gratitude, and responsibility as we gather for a convention whose primary purpose is to affirm and elect our protem national leadership and further strengthen the foundation of our great party. I use this opportunity to sincerely thank Nigerians from all walks of life for the trust and confidence they have reposed in me and in the leaders of our party, believing in the ideals upon which the NDC was founded — ideals of service, national unity and cohesion, political inclusion, women and youth empowerment, and the protection of democratic values. As you all know, this party is barely three months old, yet no political party in the history of our country has enjoyed this level of acceptance, enthusiasm, and trust from Nigerians within such a short period of time as the NDC has received. You will recall that, in our collective effort to establish an alternative opposition platform that would keep the flames of Nigeria’s multi-party democracy alive, we first sought to register this party as far back as 2017, when I realised that the foundations of my party—the PDP, had been weakened and the ideals compromised. Unfortunately, that effort did not materialise at the time. However, when INEC resumed party registration last year, we revisited and updated our earlier application. Even then, when we encountered bureaucratic bottlenecks that violated our constitutional right to freedom of association, we approached the courts, and in December 2025, judgment was delivered in our favour. That judgment was duly served on INEC, which complied and issued us our certificate of registration in February this year. Following that, I publicly announced my involvement and role in this great party, and we immediately commenced nationwide mobilisation and sensitisation. Since then, Nigerians from every region of our country, North, South, East, and West, have embraced and shared in our vision. I thank the Judiciary for upholding our constitutional rights to freedom of association in the judgment at the Federal High Court that led to the registration of our party. I equally commend INEC and its Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, who obeyed the court judgements in respect of the NDC and the NDP, which was registered later. While INEC and the judiciary did well in the case of NDC and NDP, they should also do well to ensure the survival of multi-party democracy—the survival of PDP, ADC, Labour Party, SDP, NNPP, and all other opposition parties. Nigeria needs a strong party in government and also strong parties in opposition. Let me say that, contrary to propaganda, there is no appeal against the judgement by INEC or by anyone. The judgment has been obeyed and implemented fully, and besides, the timeline for appeal has since passed, and only INEC has the proper locus standi, and they have not appealed. About a week ago, two influential figures in our nation’s political history, His Excellency Peter Obi and His Excellency Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, officially joined our party after weeks of consultations and engagements with me. I thank them specially for their trust, confidence, and partnership, both in the journey so far and in the journey ahead. This partnership represents a unique convergence of political experience, administrative competence, national reach, and a shared hope for the future of Nigeria.

They just zoned the ticket to the South🤣🤣🤣 Again! Follow these guys at your own peril.

Start forming your local NDC support group in your local community. Get together, meet yourselves, appoint a leader amongst yourselves, map out your area It will be very very difficult for an outsider to inflict violence or rig in your community if you organize. We’ve done this before. You can do it again.
