The false perception created around northern leaders as less educated is false. Watch the oratory, here.

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors should not have to beg for what has already been agreed upon. The Federal Government signed a deal on the Professional Allowance Table, and now it wants to abandon it. This is not governance; it is betrayal. Our resident doctors are the last line of defence in hospitals that are already collapsing. They work gruelling hours, in impossible conditions, for pay that insults their sacrifice. And now, the government seeks to take away the little that was promised? The Tinubu administration must demonstrate commitment to the issues: 19 months of unpaid Professional Allowance arrears; promotion arrears gathering dust; a Medical Residency Training Fund stuck in bureaucratic limbo; and a government that treats its doctors as an afterthought and remains unconcerned as they flee the country in droves. Every doctor Nigeria loses to the UK, Canada, or Saudi Arabia is a failure of leadership, not a failure of patriotism. You cannot ask people to serve a nation that refuses to honour its own word. I stand with NARD. Pay what you owe. Honour what you signed. Or explain to 200 million Nigerians why their hospitals will go dark on Tuesday. -AA

The rock upon which Nadeco was even built is hating northern Nigeria, there is nothing democratic about NADECO. As NANS VP I attended their meeting in 1998, in attendance were their top guys like Beko Kuti, Chima Ubani, and so many others , everyone took time to lambast northern Nigeria as if that was what they are fighting and not for democracy. My self and my other comrades from the north got woked up that one of us stood up and registered our displeasure that we thought this meeting is for democracy and how to have it in Nigeria not a meeting of throwing tantrums at northern Nigeria, they felt embarrassed and changed tone and never invited us again, we were just young men in our early 20s. From then my impression of NADECO changed and I always knew it was an organisation built by opportunist using propaganda as their corridor controls the nations media to get power. Now that their chieftain and one of their financiers is President all can see they are actually anti democracy.

The hunter you speak of has no jurisdiction in this forest. ADC is not lost, we are simply not following unlawful whistles. Besides, don't forget, the forest hides that which hunts the hunter.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has carefully reviewed the recent interview granted by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash Amupitan, and finds it necessary to respond, in order to correct several legal and factual misrepresentations. While the Commission seeks to present its position as one anchored in law and neutrality, the substance of the Chairman’s own statements reveals a fundamental misapplication of both constitutional principles and judicial directives. First, the Chairman’s repeated assertion that INEC is merely acting within the confines of a “multi-party constitutional order” is, with respect, a deflection from the central issue. The question before Nigerians is not whether Nigeria remains a multi-party state in theory, but whether the actions of INEC in practice are undermining the ability of opposition parties to freely organize and function. The ADC has not alleged the abolition of multi-party democracy in form; rather, it has raised concerns about actions that, in effect, weaken it. The Chairman’s reliance on the existence of multiple parties as proof of neutrality does not address the specific conduct under scrutiny. On the issue of the Court of Appeal’s order, the Chairman places heavy reliance on the doctrine of status quo ante bellum, suggesting that it requires a rollback to a particular point in time and a suspension of party activities. This interpretation is both selective and legally flawed. The preservation order, by its nature, is intended to prevent actions that would irreversibly alter the subject matter of litigation, not to paralyze the internal functioning of a political party. The Chairman’s attempt to define the “status quo” by tracing the controversy to internal party developments in July 2025 is an administrative interpretation that INEC is not empowered to make. That determination lies strictly within the jurisdiction of the courts, not the Commission. Furthermore, the Chairman’s claim that holding congresses or conventions would “render proceedings nugatory” is an overreach. Internal party processes, conducted in line with the party’s constitution and the Electoral Act, do not extinguish or prejudice pending judicial proceedings. On the contrary, democratic continuity within a political party is presumed under the law unless expressly restrained by a competent court. No such explicit order prohibiting congresses or conventions has been cited. What exists are general preservation directives, which cannot be expanded into a blanket prohibition on party governance. The assertion that INEC is restrained from monitoring congresses due to an injunction equally exposes a critical misunderstanding of its role. INEC’s duty to monitor is statutory and triggered upon proper notification. A party’s decision to proceed with its internal processes does not depend on INEC’s participation. By conflating its monitoring function with the validity of the processes themselves, INEC effectively places itself above the law, assuming a veto power it does not possess. The Chairman also references conflicting communications from different factions within the ADC as justification for inaction. However, the existence of internal disputes does not suspend a political party’s constitutional rights. Indeed, such disputes are commonplace in democratic systems and are routinely resolved without administrative paralysis. INEC’s role is not to arbitrate these disputes or to freeze party activities pending their resolution, but to maintain neutrality and allow due process to run its course. 1/2

This is to notify all members of the ADC that despite the illegal actions of @inecnigeria, the ADC congresses will continue as follows:

This afternoon, I joined other leaders of the Coalition ADC at a World Press Conference led by our National Chairman, Sen. David Mark, on the threat posed by the partisanship of the electoral umpire. As our National Chairman assured: this attack on our democracy will not stand. Dictatorship lives, but only for a short time. -AA

Had Tinubu allowed PDP, LP and NNPP to thrive without placing and financing moles to fight them, there wouldn’t have been Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso sitting under one roof today. As a Hausa proverb wisely cautions, when digging a trap, do not make it so deep that if you fall into it, you cannot climb out.

You disrupted traffic on your way to the airport, took a whole team to Plateau, only to gather the people like sardines at the airport and address them. So what was the point of all that trouble if you weren’t going to enter the city to sympathize with the people?

The youth are coming home. One by one. State by state. 2027 is a movement, not a campaign. Welcome, @dawisu. -AA

Today it's Sani @Waspapping_, tomorrow it could be you or me. We may not support his views, but silence is not an option. His arrest is a clear injustice and attack on freedom of expression. Free Waspapping now! #FreeWaspapping

Happy birthday to Dr. Aslam Aliyu (Gimbiyar Kauran Namoda), a steadfast political ally. May Almighty Allah grant you long life, good health and continued success. -AA

In APC, you simply cannot register as an APC member with a fake NIN or false information. This is how serious political organizations build integrity and public trust in the digital age.

@HAHayatu Our politicians are unbelievable!

Irony is he was the PDP convention chairman just three months ago last November.

This is me with a broken arm,bruises all over my body and battered vehicle all in defending our mandate in 2023 against APC when I was PDP yola north local government returning officer but today we are been betrayed by the same person that the military almost took my life. We are Atikated and we will deliver come 2027.

My heart goes out to every trader and family affected by the devastating fire at Singer Market in Kano. The anguish of losing one’s means of livelihood in such a tragic manner is profound, and I stand in solidarity with all who have been impacted. I commend the ongoing efforts of the Kano State Government to provide immediate on-the-ground intervention and support to victims. Such actions offer hope in a period of deep distress. I urge that these efforts be expanded to ensure comprehensive relief, rehabilitation, and stronger preventive measures to safeguard our markets. In times like this, leadership must translate compassion into sustained action. -AA
