Public officers must always bear in mind the cliche that power is transient. They have limited time to make their modest contributions & bow out for others to continue. No one can annex public office as a personal chattel. That’s why I recoil from the razzmatazz of public office

Arrived my new office punctually this morning, which is key to motivate the workforce. It is a new challenge which I always wanted to experience. Whilst my law offices continue to run at full throttle with capable hands, I take this short leave of absence to serve my fatherland.

My official portrait

The case of Senator Elisha Abbo is very straightforward: the Police MUST IMMEDIATELY take three steps: 1. Arrest him (no formal complaint is needed with the evidence on tape) 2. Obtain his statement (if he’s willing to make one) and that of the victim 3. Arraign him in court.

As we celebrate, I urge that we don’t do so wildly as to put us or others in harm’s way. I also urge all our supporters to be magnanimous in victory and not to taunt those who lost. Those who fought us with ideas are not our enemies. They are just patriots with different ideas.

Fully back to my beat this morning in court. When you are are a professional in politics and not a professional politician, you seamlessly switch to your primary address after discharging your political assignment.

PRESIDENT-ELECT, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

Dear Atiku and Obi, make that famous call NOW……

Today, as from 11am, I will have the honour and privilege to appear before distinguished Senators in the Upper Legislative House to be screened as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. 🙏🙏

Last Friday, my long-time friends and brothers, the consummate actors, Osita Iheme, MFR and Chinedu Ikedieze, MFR, (otherwise globally renowned as ‘Aki and Pawpaw’) paid me a courtesy call in my office in Abuja.

I am 55 today.

I regret to announce that my driver, Mr. Yohanna Shankuk, died yesterday in Abuja as a result of the protests. A vehicle that saw advancing protesters at Berger roundabout, made a U-turn, took the one-way back and ran over him as he was making his way on foot to my private office

Now, since they think the issues of Nigeria are three buttons, a pair of sneakers and a long tie, let’s help make them the real issues!

Earlier today, I submitted a petition to the Dept. of State Services (DSS) against Mr. Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed to rein them in for their conducts and utterances which bother on incitement & treasonable felony. A call for peace & national healing does not amount to weakness

1.) Eedris Abdulkareem just released a song, ‘jagajaga reloaded’, where he waxed the following lyrics, “where Festus Keyamo sef? He don dey chop with cabal o”. I laughed out so loud and even danced to the rhythm too. But there’s a small story behind this poor attempt at blackmail

1. As one of the Ministers entrusted with the welfare of Nigerian workers, I politely urge @DStvNg & @StarTimes_Ng to extend all EXISTING subscriptions by at least one month, free-of-charge, as their own contribution to ease the pains of Nigerian workers at this time of lockdown

He’s a miracle-working God💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻. He’s a miracle-working God💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻He’s the Alpha and Omega, 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻He’s a miracle-working God!💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

That young, radical & restless lawyer of yesterday who grew up right in the eyes of the nation is 50 years old today. From the detentions, trials & tribulations, to the successes, breakthroughs and triumphs, I remain irrepressible and dogged in pursuing anything I believe in

Anthony Joshua needs our love & support more now in order to bounce back. As his native country, Nigeria must support him in good times and in bad times. Ali was ‘The Greatest’, not because he was not defeated, but because he came back 3 times after defeats to reclaim his crown.

This is EXACTLY how to pay the last respect to a leader and a friend. Thank you, Mr. President.

This is the first time in my entire life that I am seeing people who came 2nd & 3rd in an exam both claiming they took first and then agreeing to protest together to the examiner to record that both of them took first, yet they are not seeing the contradiction in their actions 🙄

Let’s not mislead the younger ones that a candidate can be President of Nigeria by doing well in only a part of the country & coming up so short in other areas with large voting blocks. Tell them about UPN (1979) & CPC (2011). The North must always have a handshake with the South

I got a surprise birthday gift today👇

Somewhere in Enugu, one handwriting, different polling units! And multiple cancellations!! Yet, they seek to take the moral high ground when talking about rigging!!

I went straight from the court to congratulate Mr. President at home for the well thought out and incisive judgment of the Court of Appeal affirming his victory in the 2019 Presidential election.

The nightmare of PDP since 2003! The demystifier of old power-blocs! The slayer of the corrupt! The friend of the poor! The one the thieves love to hate! My guy!

The stunning comeback of Anthony Joshua reaffirms the fact that winners are not those who are too strong to fail or fall; it is rather those who possess the ability to dust themselves up and rise again each time they fail or fall, because failure sometimes occur even to winners

This morning, I woke up and remembered the African proverb: WHAT AN OLD MAN CAN SEE SITTING DOWN, A YOUNG MAN CAN’T SEE EVEN IF HE CLIMBS THE HIGHEST IROKO TREE. Good morning, Lagos. Good morning, Nigeria.

Those who can’t stomach defeat & prepare for another day & those who think today’s victory will last forever are our problem. Be ready to win some & lose some. Those defeated today may bounce back tomorrow & those victorious today may end up later in infamy. Only time will tell.

All the frenzies about New Year is needless. God only created NIGHT & DAY. All the subdivisions into years, months & weeks are human creations. So, don’t wait till a new year to make resolutions to pursue your dreams. Serve God, aid humanity & pursue your dreams on a DAILY BASIS

I was there when ⁦@officialABAT⁩ took his Oath of Office as the 16th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria at about 10:40am

A man who claims to be a democrat refuses to congratulate the winner of an election, even after highest court affirmed it. Rather, he takes a swipe at ALL democratic institutions. That’s the hallmark of a bad loser. It appears the DUBAI STRATEGY turned out to be the DUBAI TRAGEDY

THE INCIDENT INVOLVING VALUEJET AND KWAM 1: I have received reports from all the relevant Aviation agencies regarding the altercation between the staff and crew of ValueJet and Kwam 1 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Tuesday, August 5, 2025. I have also received video footages of the incident. From all the details so far received, my preliminary impression is that it was obviously a case of temporary loss of sanity and control on both sides which could have led to serious fatalities. Contrary to what the agents of Kwam 1 has said, he CONSTANTLY moved his position on the tarmac to ACTUALLY BLOCK the aircraft from taxiing to take position on the runway for take-off. This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE behaviour. The issue of whether he was carrying water or alcohol is not even in issue at this point. It is the physical blockage of the aircraft from taxiing that is the reprehensible conduct here which akin to a hostage situation. The actual video footage showing this recalcitrant behaviour is hereby attached. On the other hand, NO AMOUNT of provocation should make the Captain and Pilot of an aircraft begin to taxi without ensuring that the security personnel have safely moved an unruly passenger away that is standing in front of an aircraft. Both sides breached standard SAFETY PROTOCOL as required by the INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANISATION (ICAO). I have noted that the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has temporarily suspended the license of the Captain and the Pilot pending full investigation. I commend them for their proactive action. However, I have also questioned their sense of justice in only acting against one party and not the other party. What applies to the goose must also to the gander. That is one of the tenets of Justice I have preached all my life. I will not sit idly by and allow this to pass. IN THE CIRCUMSTANCE, I HAVE ALSO DIRECTED THE NCAA TO PLACE KWAM 1 on a NO-FLY list pending further and full investigation, just like the Captain and Pilot. ALL AIRLINES, both domestic and International should IMMEDIATELY be informed of this directive and anyone who flouts this directive risk withdrawal of their operating licence.

Yesterday, I completed my documentation at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, preparatory to my inauguration today as the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

To all BATIST, well done for a good job today. Kindly refrain from propagating unofficial results, but so far our projections remain unassailable. Our agents must remain vigilant and all lovers of @officialABAT should remain calm as we await official announcements of the results

Commendable humility and civility: Kwara Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq, on queue at the airport carrying his own sling bag across his shoulders

The Eagle has landed!!

Happy birthday to @officialABAT, the only man in Nigeria to democratically scheme to remove a sitting President, democratically scheme to install another President and democratically scheme to become a President himself. It couldn’t have been by his own prowess, but by the Grace of God

Those so-called overnight Social Media ‘activists’ who oppose the Social Media Bill should first stop blocking those who irritate them with insults, unblock all those they have blocked and apologise to them. You can’t be intolerant and ask others to be. Practice what you preach.

Dangote visits President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and congratulates him on his resounding victory. This is already a moving train. Finally, finally, the JUNGLE MATURES

PRESS STATEMENT: DECISION TO WITHDRAW CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST MS. COMFORT EMMANSON AND TO ADDRESS RELATED MATTERS 1. In the last 48 hours, I have been in consultation with critical stakeholders in the Aviation Sector and those involved in the unfortunate incidents regarding the unruly behaviours of certain individuals at our airports of recent. 2. Though regrettable, we think valuable lessons have been learnt by all sides to these incidents and airport security protocol, especially, have been well highlighted for the travelling public. If nothing at all, the episodes have undoubtedly helped to raise public awareness about appropriate conduct within the aviation space. 3. As highlighted in my previous statements on the last two incidents, clear wrongs were committed by both the offending passengers and staff of the airlines involved from all the evidence available to us and those available to the public. It is clear that all the actors involved cannot continue to highlight the injury or injustice done to them without acknowledging their own equal culpability. 5. Therefore, after reviewing the entire incidents, including appeals made by well-meaning individuals and remorse shown by the actors, the following decisions have been reached: THE CASE OF IBOM AIRLINE AND MS. COMFORT EMMANSON (a) In the case of the unruly passenger, Ms. Comfort Emmanson, on the Ibom Airline on Sunday, the 10th of August, 2025, I have conferred with Ibom Airline to withdraw the Complaint against her today. When the Police took her Statement in presence of her lawyer, she exhibited great remorse for her conduct. (b) Subsequent to the withdrawal of the complaint by the Complainant, the CP of Airport Command and the Police Prosecutor will immediately take the remaining steps to facilitate her release from Kirikiri Prisons within this week. (c) I have also conferred with the leadership of the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) and have appealed to them to lift the life-time flying ban imposed on her, to which they agreed. The details of the resolution will be made public by the AON subsequently. THE CASE OF VALUEJET AND WASIU AYINDE MARSHALL (KWAM 1) (d) In the case of KWAM 1, the NCAA is to reduce his flight ban to a one-month period. FAAN will also work with the music star with a view to engaging him as an ambassador for proper airport security protocol going forward. (e) Having publicly demonstrated penitence, the NCAA is also to withdraw its criminal complaints against KWAM 1 earlier lodged with the Police. (f) In the case of Captain Oluranti Ogoyi, and the co-pilot, First Officer Ivan Oloba of VALUEJET, the NCAA is to restore their licenses after the same period of one-month ban after undergoing some mandatory professional re-appraisal. The details will be announced by the NCAA. AIRLINE OPERATORS, AVIATION AND OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES 6. I have directed all relevant Aviation agencies in collaboration with other complementary agencies outside aviation to IMMEDIATELY begin a retreat NEXT WEEK to properly retrain and prepare our Aviation security personnel on how to deal with errant and disruptive passengers and how to deescalate potentially explosive situations. The retreat will be fully covered by the Press with the opportunity to ask all the relevant questions. 7. The Airlines will also have their own session when the conduct and attitude of their staff towards members of the travelling public will be in full focus. FINAL COMMENTS 8. These above decisions were taken by Government and the airline operators purely on COMPASSIONATE grounds as Government will never pander to base sentiments, politically-motivated views or warped legal opinions when clear encroachment of our laws are involved. 9. We are also sending a CLEAR MESSAGE that we take safety and security in the aviation sector very seriously and we have decided to draw a line after these clemencies.

ON THE MOVE AGAIN: TWO PORTFOLIOS IN TWO MONTHS! Just been redeployed to the Ministry of Labour and Employment to work with my long-time big brother, H.E, Chris Ngige. Thank you, Mr. President for finding me versatile enough to move around. Always ready to serve in any capacity💪

The President-elect, @officialABAT taking a stroll on the streets of Paris this evening (about an hour ago) with Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.

Attending the 2023 Spring Meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington DC, United States as a delegate

I deliberately waited for the end of this investigation before commenting on this unfortunate case of our daughter, Mmesoma Ejikeme. She’s a brilliant girl, judging by her actual score of 249. The nation should be careful not to destroy her. What she needs is counselling, correction and guidance. She obviously did not know the weight and gravity of what she was doing. As teenagers, most of us made juvenile mistakes that never came to light. The parents should encourage her to do a public apology to JAMB, to her family and to Nigerians after which she should be allowed to get her admission based on her actual scores. Anyone still pushing other narratives over this issue is not helping her and her family. It is time to close this very unfortunate chapter and move on. This is my plea.

God Almighty has just shown us that PMB became President in 2015 because He alone decreed it. Those who felt they made him President in 2015 & planned to ‘unmake’ him in 2019 have all lost power one by one yet PMB is still standing strong and will finish his 2nd term by His Grace

This is PMB’s certificate issued directly by Cambridge, UK, when he applied for it a couple of weeks ago & tendered in court. The contents tally with the one issued by WAEC. The biggest dummy that the Opposition sold to its supporters since 2015 has collapsed like a pack of cards

Special thanks to ⁦@officialABAT⁩ and ⁦@KashimSM⁩ for finding me worthy to lead the line in the APC 2023 Presidential Campaign Council as Official Spokesperson. I am humbled because both great leaders have been reputed to possess the uncanny ability to nurture mentees

God has allowed COVID-19 to afflict the human race only to redirect our steps back to Him. We have so distorted God’s Word to suit our own human weaknesses and satisfy our greed, even in supposed Holy Places. We should collectively ask for forgiveness & it will all end in praise

Oshodi in 1999 and Oshodi currently. Evidence of transformative leadership. It is time to begin to put down the records. #The jungle is maturing!

Okay, some requested for him to stand and dance. Now, due to popular demand by his detractors who are having buckets of tears since morning, we serve you the ‘standing version’ of the dancing CITY BOY!! For those who are depressed by his fitness, we say, ‘it is what it is!!’ 😁😁

For the records.

With my Urhobo brother and my Senator from my Senatorial District (Delta Central), the brand-new Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Òmó-Agege. To God be the glory.

Baba na baba!!

Thank you, Mr. President. On my honour, I promise not to disappoint.

We are rocking at the Lagos rally and I am with the delectable and beautiful daughter of Buba Galadinma who is for PMB all the way!!

Mischief makers are twisting the issues . Let me be CLEAR: nobody should be punished for insulting public officers; nobody can be punished for criticizing govt. But if you post FALSE stories that can turn citizens against one another or lead to an uprising, YOU MUST BE PUNISHED

Walking out just to grandstand and cover their shame at their poor showing; not man enough to face the process. Nonsense!

It is quite sad that we have pushed ourselves to the point in this country that when any public appointment is announced, most Nigerians would first research the tribe of the appointee before they research his academic qualifications and competence for the job!

Guess who read the weather report today? Yes, you guessed right! On a visit to one of my agencies today, the Nigerian Meteorological Agency, they ambushed me with the request to present the weather report for today and I gladly obliged! Enjoy it! 😊😊

From the responses by Chicago State University, ATIKU’s journey to Chicago and back has been a journey to nowhere, a fruitless exercise and an odyssey in self-humiliation. President Tinubu and Nigerians deserve an unreserved apology from him

Today is my birthday and I got the best birthday surprise from ⁦@officialABAT⁩. He dispatched this letter personally signed by him to me around 12 midnight!

You don’t buy this with money! Thanks to all the PASSIONATE and COMMITTED supporters of PMB who pulled this through without getting a dime from him, including myself!

We understand some States’ Selection Committees are considering only indigenes for the 774,000 jobs. That’s unacceptable. Anyone who is resident in any LGA in the country, irrespective of tribe, is qualified. It’s one country in which we all live. The NDE coordinators should note

The Eagle has landed!!! 😎😎😎

PETER OBI’S DREAM TO BE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA ONE DAY HAS JUST DIED A NATURAL DEATH Having confirmed the authenticity of what is now known as the Peter Obi ‘Yes-daddy’ audio, I think the real culprit here are the so-called ‘men of God’ who allowed themselves to be used by an unscrupulous politician to seek to inflame religious passions in our dear country in the name of politics. So, when they were telling their hapless adherents that they heard the voice of the Lord, it was actually Peter Obi’s telephone calls they heard and not God’s voice. This is deceitful, shameful and disgusting. Imagine a so-called ‘man of God’ comparing notes with a politician as to what he said or what he would say on the pulpit in order to get him votes. I hope this sufficiently embarrasses the ‘men of God’ in Nigeria to forthwith desist from using the pulpit for politics and the Church-goers to stop being teleguided by their self-serving ‘men of God’. As for Peter Obi who declared an election a ‘religious war’ in a multi-religious and multi-ethnic country like ours, the real God has just exposed him and his dream to be Nigeria’s President one day has just died a natural death. ‘Yes-daddy’ is now permanently etched in the consciousness of the nation and we will NEVER forget!

Hahahahahaha. Make una come see! Jungle don mature for here! 😂😂😂😂

Earlier today, I engaged my counterpart in charge of Aviation in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on the sidelines of discussions by both Presidents before the breakthrough in negotiations.

My personal view is that another total lockdown would be counterproductive. Before defeating the virus, we must learn to live with it all around us & practice the skills of avoiding it like a landmine. Practice makes perfect. We cannot perfect those skills by locking ourselves up

"A northerner does not need a Yoruba or Igbo candidate.’’ - PDP’s Atiku Abubakar. "Church, it is time to take back your country." - LP’s Peter Obi "Though tongues and tribes may differ, our diversity is a promise for prosperity." - APC’s @officialABAT. NIGERIANS, VOTE WISELY

For me, this is Photo of the Year. It has overtaken Dino’s Ajeku Iya posture.

Have you noticed that ALL Twitter Senators are finally out of the Upper Chambers? It tells us that the world of REAL politics in Africa is not yet played on social media. Social media has not had a SUBSTANTIAL impact on our politics. REAL politics is different from Social Media

Earlier today, I was drafted to assist in the negotiations with my brothers and comrades in the NLC and TUC and to the glory of God, we reached some agreements which have resulted in the suspension of the proposed strike action. We have just ended the meeting at exactly 10:40pm. Here’s a copy of the agreement and some light-hearted moment after signing the agreement

Some days ago, an ‘OBIdient’ entered my DM and thought he had ‘finished’ me, so he decided to published our convo earlier today. It wasn’t long ago that other ‘OBIdients’ advised him to take it down. So, I decided to post what they took down as there is no hiding place for us all

Earlier today, I met my counterparts in the FCT and Foreign Affairs Ministries to jointly resolve issues involving our Ministries. The first is to jointly work with the FCT Ministry to resolve the issue of the FCT indigenes who need to be compensated and relocated before the construction of the 2nd runway at the Abuja airport can commence in earnest. The contractors have been mobilised to move to site. The second is to work with the Foreign Affairs Ministry to resolve the issue of the resumption of Emirates Airline flights to Dubai/UAE and the related issue of resumption of issuance of Dubai visas to Nigerians. We are presently making progress on these issues

The most damaging campaign in which Peter Obi is engaged is always citing what China & other great countries did all these years to become great whereas these countries didn’t do all these in the last 3 years. They did these during the same period his party destroyed our future

Live pictures from Plateau!! The crowd is electrifying!!! 💪💪💪💪

Finally! Thank you @Gatwick_Airport. We expected this on the first day of the arrival of one of our most important local airlines @flyairpeace, but better late than never. We look forward to working with you to ensure seamless operations by @flyairpeace from your airport. The Government of Nigeria fully supports our local operators.

I really don’t know why there’s so much fuss about the Madagascar recipe. Why heavily criticize what a country has discovered to make people recover NOW from the illness, whilst we continue to wait for the almighty vaccine from the @WHO? Or is it because it is an African country?

We toil together, work together and share light moments together. However, we are always guided by the fear of God, the interest of the nation and the vision of Mr. President

Irrespective of our political affiliations, I pray for everyone this December. May the Almighty God bless us abundantly and preserve all of us to see the new year. Say amen.

New nickname alert for ⁦@officialABAT⁩ : THE LAST MAN STANDING! 😊😊😊

ON THE QUEUE EARLIER TODAY AT MY POLLING UNIT NO. 17, WARD 2, UVWIE LGA OF DELTA STATE

When you get your predictions 90% correct in the strategy room! That’s an ‘A’ grade

After elections are over, winners must not ignore criticisms of their opponents and the public. While all may not have merit, they should sift through them and accept the ones with some sprinkling of truth, because what is at stake is not personal ego, but the good of our country

He’s back!!!

Mrs. Amina Zakari of INEC is a lady from a town in Sudan & is related to Jibrin Al Sudan who is the body-double of PMB. She arrived on the same flight with Jibrin Al Sudan and was smuggled to INEC the next day. Or, how else can we connect a woman from Jigawa to a man from Sudan?

Peter Obi & Labour Party cannot even come to court & ask to be declared winner straightaway; they have to first fight PDP in order to prove they came second, before they can have the temerity to face @officialABAT. So, there is no room for cooperation b/w Labour & PDP in court.

At times like this, it’s not a sign of weakness to speak in a cautionary tone to the over-excited ones. Almost all wars in Africa have been triggered by post-election crises. If we don’t restrain ourselves & follow constitutional means to address issues, we shall all be victims

“I am not going to make the mistake of attempting a third term or whatever term. Besides age, I swore by the Holy Book I believe in that I will go by the constitution and the constitution says 2 terms.” *President Buhari on Friday, 22/11/2019.*

Today, in my mum’s village, Ilaro, Ogun State, the VP made a surprise random visit to the home of an underprivileged Nigerian. The opposition PDP has always criticized such acts of the VP, like going to markets to mix with market women, as ‘humiliating’. Do you agree with them?

I saw this and laughed out loud. This is so apt!!

The S/Court has been firm & resolute so far regarding pre-election cases & Election Petitions. I commend their lordships. As a party, we have to look at our own internal party mechanisms that make us give our victories needlessly away to the opposition & take appropriate actions

The same revered & exalted S/Court of Nigeria that nullified APC’s victory in Zamfara State has affirmed the victory of APC in Imo State. That is judicial neutrality at its VERY BEST. I quickly dropped this here before our usual bad losers begin to cry foul & change the narrative

*Atiku’s people: ‘Atiku is coming’ *Obi’s people: ‘Obi is coming’ *They’ve both arrived at the doorsteps & are arguing who is really entitled to step in. *But the door has been firmly locked by @officialABAT. Confusion! *Na the matter we dey try settle since February 25!😁😁

When the then opposition led by @officialABAT and @MBuhari were defeated in 2003, 2007 and 2011, they did not call for an end to democracy neither did their supporters tear their passports. They got up, dusted themselves, reached out, formed a broad coalition and unseated the PDP

APC = 22 STATES + Nationwide Solid Structures + Social Media PDP = 13 STATES + Nationwide Fractured Structures+Social Media APGA = 1 STATE One State Structure + Social Media? Labour Party = Social Media (Consisting of mostly of catfishes (See their comments underneath👇)😁

Happy Birthday to a big brother and Philanthropist Extraordinaire, Alhaji Aliko Dangote. Your greatness is not in your wealth, but in your humility and provision of social services to those affected by adverse circumstances. May God Almighty continue to replenish your purse.

I have come to the conclusion that there is no amount of persuasion we can make in the media (be it social or orthodox media) to woo those who did not vote for us to believe in us other than good governance that @officialABAT has promised. Immediately after swearing-in, the talk must stop and the work must begin!

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a mental health disease that involves a pattern of self-centered, arrogant thinking and behavior and a lack of empathy and consideration for other people. The affected persons are often cocky, manipulative, selfish, patronizing and demanding

Lagos Walk for ⁦@officialABAT⁩ happening now. We told them to brace up for the maturity of the jungle, they thought we were joking; this is yet just a simple walk for Asiwaju by an appreciative populace that have witnessed the transformation of Lagos under his leadership.
