The march to restore prosperity and better days to our beloved nation took a firm and decisive step forward today at the National Secretariat of our great party, the African Democratic Congress.
This is more than a political journey; it is a national movement rooted in hope, renewal, and the collective resolve to save Nigeria from despair. I call on all Nigerians, regardless of region, faith, or background, to join us in this noble cause. Together, we will restore the promise of our nation and bring good times back again. -AA
I join family, friends and well wishers in celebrating Alhaji Musa Halilu Ahmed (Dujiman Adamawa), on the occasion of his 50th birthday.
Musa is a mentee in whom I am well pleased. His philanthropy, humility and commitment to humanity continue to inspire many.
As he mark’s this golden milestone, I pray that the Almighty Allah grants him more years in good health, peace and impactful service. -AA
Even as we welcome the Supreme Court’s firm affirmation of David Mark and the leadership of our great party, the African Democratic Congress, let no one be lulled into complacency. The road ahead remains long in our cause to take back and rescue our country.
This victory belongs to Nigerians, the courageous millions who refuse to surrender their future. We thank them, and we urge them to remain steadfast, because the struggle is far from over. As we press on, let this truth guide us: eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. –AA
Yesterday, upon my arrival from Ibadan after the National Opposition Summit, I proceeded directly to the wedding of my godson, Cross Okonkwo @crossda_boss , and Chinonso Okonkwo, here in Abuja. The occasion provided yet another opportunity to reflect the strong bond between our families. I wish the couple a very happy and fulfilling married life. -AA
At today’s National Opposition Summit in Ibadan, Oyo State, we spoke with one voice, fearless, and unmistakable: the time has come to forge a united opposition, bound by purpose and driven by the sacred duty to defend and sustain our democracy.
This is not a choice; it is an obligation we owe to Nigeria and to generations yet unborn.
I extend my profound gratitude to our gracious Chief Host, Governor Seyi Makinde, and to the resilient and warm-hearted people of Oyo State for providing the ground upon which this historic resolve has been rekindled. Oyo state has a history of being present when the politics of Nigeria is to be defined. -AA
This afternoon, I met with the Coalition for Democracy Movement, led by Dr. Jibril Shehu Mustapha, who outlined their nationwide structure and their commitment to supporting our cause, especially as it is the most credible, and also to protect the sanctity of the vote.
I highlighted growing concerns about election manipulation, especially at collation centres, and stressed the need for effective countermeasures, while expressing gratitude for their support and commending their consistency.
I assured them that their sacrifices will not be forgotten, and that history will remember their role in defending democracy. -AA
The reports from the spokesperson of our great party, which exposes the plans of the government and its agents to revoke the licence of Rainbow Event Centre for the singular offence of hosting the African Democratic Congress convention slated for today, Tuesday, April 14, 2026, is a shameful and cowardly abuse of public office.
Let it be said without equivocation: coercing a private business owner to deny a lawfully registered opposition party the use of a venue is not governance. It is not politics. It is the naked conduct of a regime that has lost the argument, lost the people, and now reaches for the boot because it has nothing else left.
The ADC has paid every fee. The ADC has signed every contract. The ADC has broken no law. Our only offence is that we are organising, we are growing, and we are preparing to retire this failed government at the ballot box in 2027.
This is how democracies are strangled, not in a single dramatic blow, but in a thousand petty, vindictive acts against opposition parties, against free assembly, and against the sacred right of citizens to choose their own leaders. To the international community, and every democratic partner of Nigeria: take note of what is being done here tonight, and in whose name.
We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. We will not bow to this creeping tyranny, and we will never bow to the petty tyrants behind it.
The convention will hold. The ADC will rise. And Nigeria will rise with it. -AA
This afternoon, I had a productive engagement with the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, His Excellency Richard Montgomery.
We discussed practical strategies to strengthen bilateral cooperation in areas of mutual benefit to both Nigeria and Britain. -AA
Happy birthday, Aliko, @aliko_dangotegcon . Few Nigerians have shaped our private sector with the vision, grit, and discipline you bring to everything you touch, from building Africa’s largest industrial enterprise to lifting millions through your generosity. Your story is proof of what is possible when ambition meets purpose. On this special day, I wish you good health, and many more years of impact. -AA
