I’ve been in Jos for like 5 days now and I have a lot to say.
Firstly, I never knew a people could be this nice and kind and respectful.
I almost felt sick because I never knew people could still be like that.
Lagos has fried my brain. People call you Sir while offering every service to you.
From the suya guy to the super market attendant to the local restaurant to every single person.
I’ve never seen this before in my life. In Lagos, the way I know the food in a restaurant would be good is if the woman is rude.
I never trust the food of a polite food seller in Lagos.
But I’m here where everyone treats you with respect.
Then things are cheaper. The uber that will normally cost 10 million naira here in Lagos is 2,500 here.
I’ve never seen life lived like this before. I see clear road everywhere.
I’m not scared of holding my phone carelessly.
Hotel is cheap with free WiFi. Omo. Jos na place.

@GuningNan @_Thrixian @_TheTime_isNow_ Ask about their three year's in office... They did more than what you guys are celebrating in Plateau State

LET'S HATE HIM FOR DECAMPING TO APC & ALSO FOR THE INSECURITY BUT DID HE FAIL IN OTHER TASKS HE IS MEANT TO DO FOR THE STATE?
Let's see... It's justifiable to dislike him for the insecurity cos that's his first mandate, but taking us to 9th most developed state in the country? Worth an applause 👏
Gov. @CalebMutfwang over the past three years, has executed projects from infrastructure, security, healthcare, and education in Plateau State.
Make we check-make am... What & what has he achieved so far?
1. Revitalizing Operation Rainbow: Mutfwang upgraded the state-owned security outfit and trained more personnel for grassroots security.
2. Oga also established a toll-free emergency communication center. I'm sure not everyone knows this.
3. Mutty created the Ministry of Livestock Development, Veterinary Services, and Fisheries.
4. He also rehabilitated 111 kilometers of urban roads across the Jos and Bukuru metropolis to ease traffic. We all know dis one!
5. Initiated the construction of 380 kilometers of farm-to-market roads under the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAMP).
6. Currently revamping the Rwang Pam stadium to a more classy look and increasing it's worth. Hillstation Hotel too is getting a new look at the moment.
7. Procured Toyota Coaster vehicles and introduced subsidized metro-buses to ease daily commuting for residents. And for the first time in a long time, the train system started working in the state. Some of us have never seen a train in motion until Mutfwang came.
8. Slashed tuition fees by 50% for Plateau indigenes studying in state-owned tertiary institutions. Also, he increased state scholarship funding by 300% to support students' educational pursuits.
9. Upgraded the College of Education, Gindiri, into a full degree-awarding institution. Kudos to that.
10. Mutfwang constructed and renovated classrooms across all 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs). Still in progress I heard.
11. He also distributed subsidized tractors to farming communities across the state through the Plateau Agricultural Development Programme.
12. Initiating the cultivation of 900 hectares of land in Barkin Ladi, Mangu, and Riyom LGAs, specifically targeting internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the state.
13. Commenced the clearing of massive, long-standing backlogs of civil service gratuities, death benefits, and unpaid pensions dating as far back as 1986.
14. Heard billions were awarded for the Langtang North Water Project and completed the Yelwa Club Water Treatment Plant in Jos South to resolve years of water scarcity.
I can't remember all but I believe he's done a few projects and has achieved a lot so far. Sentiments of DECAMPING to APC aside, he is still in love with the state.
Let's give him his roses 🌹... He did well. We need him to do more.
Insecurity is the No. 1 issue presently. And he's working on it. However, if insecurity persists, there will be no people to enjoy all these achievements.

@aonanuga1956 Good. Use the same energy to find the kidnapped school children...

The IGP crack team has arrested Ifechukwu Dennis who originated the fake voice that he passed on to his gullible targets as President Tinubu’s voice. Dennis was arrested in Benin. The police will issue an official statement.

AJE@Riddwane
A tech expert has just traced the origin of the fake AI voice note attributed to President Tinubu and revealed the true identity of suspected mastermind of the fake voice note: IFECHUKWU DENNIS. @OfficialDSSNG @PoliceNG

1. Fobur road.
2. Abbatoir road.
3. 16+ km roads in Mikang.
4. 5+ more faculties in PLASU.
5. Pushed for FCE to become FUE.
6. Gave Tudun Wada people in drought water tank.
7. Rehabilitating a water plant.
8. Plapoly received 200M.
9. Defected to the APC so that plateau will be closer to the Federal Government.
10. Plateau Hotel and Hill Station.
11. Plateau is 9th best performing state in Nigeria.
I don really forget the rest of the things wey my eyes see yesterday, but for now, na messenger I be.
King👑Jay⚡@BigCigarr
All of a sudden Una start dey hype Mutfwang wey no do any single project but Una dey against people wey dey post Kaduna state governor project..e no fit better for una oh
English

@EeevaJames gaskiya! Mediocrity is our problem in Plateau State. Compare Plateau State with other states that has less IGR and FAAC to our state you will know that the man has perform below average.
English

Mutfwang brought in metro buses/train.
He introduced drones and other security technologies to strengthen the security architecture of Plateau State. He provided a water tank for the people of Tudun Wada, who had struggled with water shortages for years. There are also ongoing road construction projects across several communities in the state.
So, with all these accomplishments achieved in less than three years and despite the huge debt inherited from Lalong are you really saying these are not achievements? Mutfwang supporters kindly list some that I skipped.

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BY MR. PETER OBI FOLLOWING HIS NOMINATION AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF THE NIGERIAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS(NDC) – MAY 30, 2026
Protocols,
Esteemed citizens of Nigeria,
It is with deep humility that I accept the role of presidential candidate for our party.
I express my profound gratitude to the leaders of our party. His Excellency Seriake Dickson, the National Chairman, National Secretary and the National Working Committee, NWC members and members of our relentless supporters, and the Nigerian populace who have steadfastly kept the spirit of hope alive. I commend those who have made the journey from every region of our nation to convene here in Abuja.
I wish to assert unequivocally: a New Nigeria is Possible. This conviction has united us; it must serve as our compass on the challenging road ahead and sustain us through all trials we may face. This pivotal moment transcends the individual ambitions of Peter Obi; it concerns the essence of our nation and the future of our children. It is about rekindling hope for millions who have faced adversity yet remain committed to Nigeria.
Today, our nation finds itself at a crucial juncture, enveloped in uncertainty. Families are anxious about their safety; parents are concerned for their children's futures; and talented youth increasingly question their prospects in their homeland.
Businesses are struggling, communities are suffering, and an alarming number of citizens have lost faith in the very concept of governance. Yet, I stand before you filled with optimism and strong faith in the resilience of our people, for I firmly believe that a New Nigeria is possible.
UNITY
To realise this New Nigeria, we must first mend the foundational elements essential for the success of any nation.
Nigeria cannot advance while fragmented by ethnic, religious, regional, or narrow political divides. We may communicate in different languages and practise diverse faiths, but we share a singular destiny under one flag. Our diversity should not be a source of division; rather, it is among our greatest strengths.
We should build bridges where others erect barriers, replace mistrust with confidence, division with understanding, and resentment with a collective purpose. A united Nigeria is indispensable. As Will Durant wisely pointed out, "A great civilisation is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." We must never self-destruct. We must heal, unify, and progress together.
INSECURITY
In terms of security, the situation in Nigeria has considerably worsened. The global terrorism impact assessments ranked Nigeria as the 8th most affected nation in 2022, 6th in 2024, and 4th in 2026.
Yet, for many years, Nigeria garnered global recognition as a reliable contributor to peacekeeping, regional stabilisation, and conflict resolution. Our troops have not only displayed bravery but have also shown professionalism, discipline, resilience, and empathy in the most challenging operational contexts. Our officers and personnel have successfully commanded multiple international forthe ces, safeguarded vulnerable civilian populations, monitored ceasefires, reinstated constitutional order, and contributed to rebuilding efforts.
Nigeria became one of the leading contributors of troops from Africa to UN peacekeeping missions and earned widespread admiration for operational effectiveness and leadership in various countries, including Rwanda, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mali, Western Sahara, Congo, Lebanon, Cambodia, Haiti, and Kuwait. At one pointin a Nigeria, Lt. General Isaac Obiakor (rtd) even led global peacekeeping initiatives.
We must address insecurity with resolve and urgency, for no nation can thrive while its citizens live in trepidation. The primary responsibility of the government is to ensure the safeguarding of lives and property.

On the Record: NDC Primaries... A Better Abuja Is Inevitable | #AishaforSenate2031
As the dust settles on the NDC Primaries, I want to set the record straight: I did not quit, I did not drop out of the race. I stayed to the end. I also do not intend to litigate a process that was never truly allowed to happen, I share my truth because the people of Abuja deserve the truth.
Why I Ran
I came into politics from a deep conviction: that to drive the transformation we hope to see, it is not enough to complain from the outside. You must step into the ring with your convictions and fight to get into the positions where decisions are made with the weight of the law.
I understood what I was getting into. I knew that the quality of our politics has not yet risen to the occasion, that values-based candidates do not easily emerge by merit in a system built to resist them. But I made a decision going in: I would not compromise my values. I would stand for what is right. I did not leave advocacy to go into politics. I took advocacy into politics.
The Campaign We Built
I ran a campaign I am truly proud of. Our ground game was on point. We had grassroots credibility, the kind you don't manufacture in a backroom. The SAY-Nation volunteer network was formidable, so formidable that the process had to be taken out of the open and resolved through a clandestine affirmation behind closed doors.
Street by street, ward by ward, conversation by conversation, we built something real. To every volunteer who knocked on doors, every supporter who argued our case in market squares and motor parks, every young person who believed that this time could be different: I see you, and I am deeply grateful. You showed Abuja what a people-powered campaign looks like.
The Process That Wasn't
What was billed as a primary was, in truth, a predetermined outcome dressed in procedural formalities. The primaries were repeatedly postponed. Venues were changed at the last minute. Guidelines of the party were not followed. Delegate based process was introduced to be conducted at a central location instead of the direct primaries to be conducted at Local Government headquarters. When the moment came, the contest was not decided by delegates in the open; it was affirmed in a closed room, away from the people whose voices it was supposed to reflect. The party will indeed go on to release statements upon statements about the free and fair nature of the Abuja FCT primaries. They are entitled to their voice, but the facts that transpired when litigated by conscience and the guidelines of the electoral act do not reflect justice and fairness.
Why I Didn't Escalate
I ran to win. But when the process was subverted, I made a choice: I would not exhaust myself in a grievance process designed to wear people down. I chose instead to extract every lesson this experience had to offer.
I now understand the architecture of the system in ways no textbook, no punditry, no amount of outside observation could ever teach. That knowledge is worth more than any petition I could have filed. I leave this process with something far more valuable than a ticket; I leave with clarity.
It is important to note that this account reflects my experience in the Abuja FCT Senatorial race. It does not speak to what transpired in other states, nor do I claim to understand the specifics of those contests. Every state had its own dynamics, and I will not generalise from my experience.
On the NDC
For now, despite its shortcomings, the NDC remains the only party that has given the better Presidential candidate in the 2027 electoral cycle a platform to run. To everyone within the party working to make this possible, I am grateful. Transformation does not come from outside alone. It must also be fought for within.
A Better Abuja Is Inevitable
This is not the end. What we built, the network, the credibility, the grassroots trust, cannot be taken away in a backroom.

I just came back From 2027.
Omo, as Tinubu was handing over to Obi,Gbajabiamila was shedding tears.
Wike was granting interviews, lamenting how they will challenge the elections in court.
Akpabio didn't win his reelection.
Nigerians home and Abroad were Jubilating and celebrating...
Welcome to the future
English

My reasons for supporting Peter Obi are simple and I believe every honest Nigerian should understand it.
1. I believe we must allow the South to finish its 8 years.
2. I believe the only strong candidate who can defeat Tinubu is Obi.
3. I believe we can only defeat him through a strong alliance between the North and the Southeast.
4. I believe Peter Obi is a good man and he'll try his best to rescue Nigeria from this mess.
That's why I support Peter Obi, and Insha Allah I will make sure I enlighten as many people as I can to vote for him.
So help me God!

English

As a photographer, I have learned that the most powerful people are often those who understand people, culture and history beyond the camera moments. Being part of Peter Obi’s envoy to South Africa gave me the opportunity to witness that firsthand.
Listening to him speak about his long-standing relationship with South Africa, from his early business engagements with South African Breweries, to witnessing Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, and living in the same neighborhood at the time with Mandela, showed a man who genuinely understands the importance of relationships, diplomacy and African unity.
What stood out the most was his belief in what Africa can become if we begin to work together intentionally as one continent. Conversations like these make you understand what his kind of presidency would mean for Nigeria, stronger economic partnerships, better international respect, healthier relationships across Africa, and a country that is once again seen as a serious and trusted voice on the global stage.
For me, it was more than a trip. It was a reminder that leadership is also about experience, exposure, relationships and the ability to connect Nigeria to bigger opportunities across the world.
#NigeriaWillBeOk

@PeterObi @PhiladamsD I believe in you my leader
I feel so pained that I voted Tinubu in 2023,
You see this 2027, it Obi or nothing for me. 🤨

If Peter Obi wins the 2027 election, his first 100 days would probably shake Nigeria in ways many people are not ready for.
Not miracles.
Not overnight change.
But visible disruption.
Here are 20 things most likely to happen early:
1. Government spending will reduce aggressively. Expect fewer convoys, fewer luxury expenses, fewer unnecessary foreign trips.
2. Ministries and agencies may face serious audits. A lot of hidden contracts and inflated budgets could suddenly become public conversations.
3. Subsidy discussions will return immediately. Nigerians may face short-term pain before any long-term structure appears.
4. The naira might react emotionally first before economically. Supporters will celebrate. Investors will watch cautiously.
5. Some politicians who survived on “connection money” may suddenly go quiet.
6. Young Nigerians will become unusually hopeful again. Social media energy alone could change national mood temporarily.
7. There’ll be strong resistance from powerful interests inside government institutions.
8. Expect tension between old political elites and a reform-driven presidency.
9. Federal appointments may become less “godfather based” and more competence focused — at least publicly.
10. ASUU, universities and education funding may receive faster attention than usual.
11. Nigerians abroad may start reconsidering returning home if policies look stable.
12. Corruption cases could increase dramatically in headlines during the first months.
13. Some governors may suddenly become “friends of transparency” overnight.
14. The civil service could experience pressure to digitize operations faster.
15. There may be attempts to cut waste in National Assembly spending, and that alone would create national drama.
16. The stock market may respond positively to stability signals, especially if foreign investors regain confidence.
17. Fuel prices may still remain painful initially, which could disappoint people expecting instant relief.
18. Media attacks against him would intensify heavily once reforms start touching powerful pockets.
19. Nigerians would become more politically divided online than ever before. Supporters and critics would clash daily.
20. The biggest change may not even be money.
It may simply be Nigerians feeling like leadership is finally trying to look responsible again.
A New Nigeria is Possible.
