It is most gratifying that at this critical time, the Almighty God gave you this invaluable opportunity to serve our beloved country, which you have in the last two years, done with utmost loyalty and patriotism. No doubt, your administration is laying a sound foundation for nation building and development across sectors through the implementation of laudable people-oriented policies and programmes in accordance with the Renewed Hope Agenda. I am confident that under your purposeful leadership, Nigeria will fully overcome its challenges, regain lost grounds and take its position as the toast of the world. Most importantly, I am glad that through your leadership, we have had the rare opportunity of joining in delivering the Renewed Hope mandate in the Federal Capital Territory, and we can see people's Hope being Restored and Renewed. Congratulations Mr President

PDP CRISIS: MY POSITION 1. Since after the 2023 General election, the PDP has been wantonly swinging from one part of a slippery precipice to another, owing fundamentally to dishonesty and lack of trust amongst its key stakeholders. To stem this ugly trend, efforts have been made to arrest this pernicious virus of dishonesty and treachery and enthrone fidelity to agreements with a view to stabilizing the party and moving it forward. 2. To this end, a meeting of the G5 was held in Lagos. In that meeting, I made it clear to the Governor of Oyo State, HE. Seyi Makinde, that he was the architect of our problems, pointing out to him that non-adherence to agreements reached was the bane of the party, and that he was the chief culprit of this anomaly. At the end of the meeting, we resolved to bury the hatchet and make progress. 3. As a follow-up to the aforementioned meeting, there was an expanded meeting in Abuja involving HE. Seyi Makinde, HE. Umaru Fintri, HE. Bala Mohammed, HE, Bukola Saraki, and I in Saraki’s guest house. In that meeting, I made it clear that I had no personal problems with HE. Bala Mohammed, except that he hides under the facade of Chairman of PDP Governors Forum to serially renege on agreements. Tensions rose mightily in the meeting and it took all concerned to calm frayed nerves. At the end of the meeting, we came to some resolutions, including: a. That Senator Samuel Anyanwu remains the National Secretary of the PDP in tandem with the Supreme Court judgement. b. All legal matters relating to Rivers State must be withdrawn by the National Legal Adviser. c. The suit on the State of emergency be withdrawn forthwith. d. Nobody should deviate from the agreements so reached. In the light of the foregoing, they pleaded with me to attend the stakeholders’ meeting at the Bauchi Government Lodge, regardless of my many engagements. I attended the meeting and clearly reiterated my earlier concerns, and to this end and in order to resolve all other lingering and pending issues, a committee was formed, headed by HE. Bukola Saraki. 4. It is disheartening to note that even before the Bukola Saraki Reconciliation Committee began its work, the gentleman’s agreement we reached at Saraki’s Guest House was already being crudely violated. To my chagrin, Seyi Makinde had connived with Peter Mba of Enugu State to orchestrate the summoning of the meeting of so-called South-East leaders to recommend that if Ude Okoye was not adopted as Secretary, they would pull out of the PDP. I have since granted an interview to the effect that, that resolution of the South-East leaders can not hold. Again, Seyi Makinde organized some people in the National Secretariat to insist that the Deputy National Secretary should act as National Secretary, in violation of the agreement earlier reached. To attempt to give credence to this farce, a letter was written by the Deputy National Secretary, calling for a meeting of the NEC of the party. Furthermore, the letter confirming the candidacy of the Governorship candidate of the party in the forthcoming Governorship elections in Anambra State, duly signed by the National Secretary, Senator Anyanwu and the acting National Chairman, was portrayed as rejected by the party through a rebuttal letter signed by the National Publicity Secretary, acting on the orders of Seyi Makinde and Peter Mba. All these actions are in complete violation of the agreements reached and would not do the party any good whatsoever. On the 24th of May 2025, in Jos, for instance, a well publicized and properly attended zonal elective congress of the PDP was aborted because the letter inviting INEC to the congress was signed by the Deputy National Secretary of the party. INEC refused to attend because the proper signatory recognized by law, that is Senator Samuel Anyanwu was not a signatory to the invitation notice. This is undeniably distasteful, provocative and annoying, to say the least.

The Supreme Court has made it clear that you cannot have a democracy without a legislature. The Supreme Court has made it clear that you cannot say that there is a government without a legislature. It is unheard of where anybody will say three people will constitute an assembly to make law for the entire State. It has nothing to do with an individual, whether you like this person’s face or not. What is important is that, can three people make law for a State, not to even talk of appropriation.
