This is contained in a birthday anniversary message sighted by the informavores!
He said, ‘To My Beloved Comrades and Patriots of the Nigerian Liberty Movements (NLM) Worldwide”
“As I sit to pen these words, my heart swells with immeasurable gratitude, not just for the personal celebration of my birthday, but for the collective triumph we marked—the one-year anniversary of the Nigerian Liberty Movements (NLM). Yesterday was not merely a day of joy; it was a reaffirmation of the purpose we share, the battle we fight, and the future we envision for Nigeria and its people.
“The overwhelming show of love, unity, and unwavering support from every corner of the world reminded me of the sacred duty we have taken upon ourselves—to restore to our people the dignity that has long been stolen, to break the chains of a system designed to suppress, and to light a path toward true national rebirth. Your messages, your calls, and your relentless reaffirmation of our cause have reinforced my belief that we are not just a movement; we are a force of destiny.
“The Journey of NLM: A Testament to Our Collective Will.
“One year ago, we came together not to form another political group, not to add to the chorus of empty voices, but to be a catalyst for real and lasting change. We did not merely launch a movement—we sounded a clarion call that the days of complacency are over. We declared that Nigeria shall no longer be a playground for mediocrity, that governance shall no longer be the private business of a select few, and that liberty shall no longer be an abstract dream but a living reality for all.
“In this past year, we have faced opposition from those who benefit from Nigeria’s broken system. We have been challenged, ridiculed, and threatened. But here we stand, stronger than ever, growing in numbers, deepening in resolve, and moving closer to the day when true liberty will take its rightful place in our land.
“The Significance of Liberty Day: The Dawn of a New Era.
“Yesterday’s celebration was not just about my birth; it was about the birth of an idea that has begun to take root in the consciousness of millions. As we move toward the formal declaration of Liberty Day, we recognize that this is more than just a symbolic event. It is the pronouncement of a new covenant with the Nigerian people—a day that will mark the irreversible break from the shackles of oppression.
“For too long, Nigeria has been trapped in a cycle where leadership is not about service but about plundering. We have watched the rise of rulers, not leaders—men and women who see governance as an entitlement, not a responsibility. This has been our reality for decades, but Liberty Day will stand as a declaration that a new order is here, an order built on accountability, justice, and a leadership that truly belongs to the people.
“My Gratitude As The Torchbearers of This Revolution to You as The Missionaries.
“I cannot express enough appreciation to every single one of you—our members, supporters, and allies who have given your time, energy, and resources to this cause. You are the true heroes of this movement. Some of you have risked your safety, some have sacrificed your personal comfort, and many of you continue to dedicate yourselves selflessly, not for personal gain but for the hope of a liberated nation.
“To our comrades in Nigeria, who bear the brunt of the failed system daily, your resilience is inspiring. You endure hardships not because you accept them, but because you have chosen to fight for something greater than yourselves. To our members in the diaspora, who continue to champion this cause from foreign lands, your voices echo across borders, reminding the world that Nigeria is not without men and women of honor.
“Yesterday’s outpouring of love was not just for me—it was for us, for the ideals we stand for, for the dream we refuse to let die. I am humbled, I am strengthened, and I am more determined than ever because I do not walk alone. We walk together, hand in hand, unyielding and unstoppable.
A Call to Action: The Road Ahead
“My dear comrades, our journey has just begun. One year is a milestone, but it is not the destination. There is much more to be done. The forces of oppression will not yield easily; they will fight with everything they have. But history has shown that no tyranny lasts forever. The will of the people, once awakened, cannot be subdued.
“Let this anniversary serve as a reminder that we are not here to merely exist—we are here to transform. Let our commitment deepen, our strategy sharpen, and our resolve be unbreakable. The battles ahead will require more from us—more courage, more sacrifice, more unity. But make no mistake: we are closer than ever to the tipping point.
“One day soon, we will look back at this moment, not as a mere memory, but as the beginning of Nigeria’s true independence. We shall tell our children that we stood when others bowed, that we fought when others surrendered, and that we prevailed when many doubted.
“Thank you for standing with me. Thank you for standing for the aggrieved members of Nigerian society.
Thank you for believing in Liberty.
“The movement continues. The victory is inevitable.
*With all my love and unwavering commitment.
He concluded.

I will not be intimidated by any military – Wike
By Wumi Tewogbade (rtd), Abuja
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT)Minister Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday, said he will not be intimidated or blackmailed by any military personnel from doing his job. adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Wike stated this when he went on an unscheduled visit on a plot of land that was allegedly being illegally developed in Gaduwa, Abuja.
According to the Minister, he had earlier instructed the Director Development Control, Muktir Galadima, to go and demolish an alleged illegal development ongoing in plot 1946, Gaduwa district, Abuja, owned by the former Chief of Naval staff, Vice Admiral Awaul Zubairu Gambo.
But when the staff of Development control got to the property to effect the directive of the FCT Minister, they were forcefully driven out of the property by security acting on the former Chief of Naval staff, directives.
So the Director of Development control went to report back to the FCT Minister, who immediately came to see what was going on.
Wike while speaking to journalists said, “You are aware that the land departments and the development control have been mandated to see where the illegal development is going on and land grabbing. And when this was brought to my attention, I did instruct them to make sure that nothing takes place in as much as they did not have any legal paper in terms of regional approval or even the acquisition of the land. And when they came here, I was informed that the soldiers of the former Naval Chief, chase them away and I thought probably they would be acting illegally.
“And so today while I was in the office, while they came to implement the directive that was given to them by myself, I was called that the military have taken over the place and I have to come by myself to see things for myself. It’s really unfortunate. And you heard what the officers said, he was sent by the former chief of Naval Staff”.
The FCT Minister noted that the Naval Chief, should have approached him for discussion instead of taking law into his hands, “And I don’t understand how somebody who attained that position and he said that he has a problem cannot approach my office to say, look, this is what is going on, this is what is going on. But simply because he’s a military man, he could use that to intimidate Nigerians. I’m not one of those kind of persons that will succumb to blackmail or intimidation”.
He said there is no documents to prove, the Former Chief of Naval staff is actually the owner of the property in question.
“And where are the documents. And the Director of Development Control said, look, I was here. I said bring the documents, you don’t have the documents.
“Bring the approval for building, you don’t have it. And how can we continue to allow lawlessness to prevail in this country? What about those who don’t have the military? What about those who don’t have security? It has gotten to a level where when government officials are doing, carrying out their job, you go and bring security to intimidate them. And this government official, I will not accept that”.
He said, “I’ve spoken to the Chief of Defence Staff and I’ve spoken to the Chief of Naval Staff and they have assured me that, please, they have to resolve the matter. And we’re not coming here to have a shootout with anybody to cause chaos and all. But what I can say, I would not allow it to happen.
“The way we have done and carried out our jobs in other areas is the same way it will be done here. We will not allow this illegal development, simply because he was a former Chief of Naval Staff. I would not allow that”.

Digital Economy and eGovernance: Stakeholders Endorse Bill, Demand Institutional Role Definition
By AbdulRahman Obaje
Stakeholders across Nigeria’s digital and technology ecosystem have expressed support for the proposed National Digital Economy and E-Governance Bill 2025, describing it as a vital step toward establishing a comprehensive legal framework that will strengthen digital governance, boost innovation, and accelerate socio-economic development. googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js">
However, they urged the National Assembly to address potential overlaps between the proposed law and the mandates of existing agencies to prevent institutional conflict and regulatory burden.
The submissions were made on Monday during a Public Hearing convened by the Joint Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives on ICT, Cybersecurity, Digital and Information Technology at the National Assembly, Abuja.
Among groups that presented their position was the Network of Advocates for Digital Reporting (NADIR), which commended the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, and federal lawmakers for the initiative.
Presenting NADIR’s memorandum, its Legal Adviser, Barrister Yunus AbdulSalam (SAN), said the Bill represents a significant legislative intervention aimed at modernizing Nigeria’s digital governance ecosystem and regulating emerging technologies. He, however, cautioned that certain provisions appear to replicate functions already assigned to agencies such as NITDA, NCC, and NDPC.
Such duplication, he warned, could “trigger constitutional and institutional disputes, raise compliance costs, and discourage private sector participation and investment.”
He recommended that the National Assembly adopt a “consolidation and amendment approach,” extracting the Bill’s innovative elements and integrating them into the existing Act, rather than creating new regulatory overlaps.
Responding, Chairman of the Senate Committee on ICT and Cybersecurity, Senator Shuaib Afolabi Salisu, said the Bill would enhance Nigeria’s digital competitiveness, strengthen e-governance service delivery, improve transparency, and boost the ease of doing business, particularly in the ICT sector.
He noted that the digital economy currently contributes about 20 percent of Nigeria’s GDP, adding that the passage of the Bill would unlock greater opportunities for job creation, innovation, and revenue growth.
Also speaking, Chairman of the House Committee on Digital and Information Technology, Honourable Adedeji Stanley Olajide, said the engagement reflects Nigeria’s commitment to building a transparent and innovation-driven governance structure. He emphasized that collaboration among lawmakers, regulators, and industry players marked “a new phase in Nigeria’s digital transformation journey.”
Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, lauded the National Assembly for advancing the Bill and assured that stakeholder concerns would be considered to guarantee a balanced outcome. He said the proposed framework seeks to enable seamless data sharing across government institutions and foster stronger synergy with the private sector.
He also highlighted the Bill’s provisions on Artificial Intelligence (AI), describing AI as a strategic tool that could enhance Nigeria’s productivity and global digital competitiveness.
Director-General of NITDA, Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, stressed that Nigeria must adopt a modern digital legal framework to benefit from ongoing global technological shifts. He cited the application of AI in agriculture for real-time access to data on best practices, weather patterns, and input quality as an example of the potential impact on food security.
Stakeholders present at the hearing included the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC), Galaxy Backbone, Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited (NIGCOMSAT), the Nigerian Computer Society (NCS), the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, and the Association of Licensed Telecom Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), among others.
Declaring the hearing open, the Deputy Senate Leader, Senator Oyelola Ashiru, who represented Senate President Godswill Akpabio, described the Bill as a bold step toward aligning Nigeria’s governance and economic policies with global digital realities.
The Bill, if passed into law, is expected to play a transformational role in Nigeria’s digital economy comparable to the telecommunications liberalization policy of 2001.

Comrade Joel Salifu made the declaration at the 2025 Kabba Day Celebration.
The Deputy Governor who represented his boss at the occasion stated:
“I want to categorically tell you that I am an Igala by tribe and from Kogi East. By the grace of God, I am a leader of the Kogi East APC. There is no other person that can deliver the voice of the people of Kogi East apart from Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo and my humble self.”
He stressed that the current administration remains united and resolute in delivering good governance, warning against divisive politics or misinformation.
“If there’s anybody, let them not talk from behind. Whatever message they have, let them not come to confuse you. In this government, I am the leader and voice of the Igala people, and what I will tell you is nothing but the truth; Ododo’s eight years in office is sacrosanct,” he said.
The Deputy Governor further disclosed that the entire Igala nation has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo for their continued leadership, stressing that the people of Kogi East are united behind their vision of renewed hope, and transformational leadership.
“All the Igalas have resolved, united, and have endorsed President Tinubu and Governor Ododo for their second term of eight years in office, to enable them continue the good works they are doing,” he declared.
Turning to the traditional rulers, Comrade Joel Salifu commended the Okun people for their intellectual strength and political maturity.
“My dear people of Okun nation, I know you for being focused, determined, and very intelligent, having produced the largest number of Professors in the state. With that record, nobody should deceive you because of their selfish political interest. Continue to disappoint them,” he urged.
The brief remark was received with cheers, showing the growing rapport between Kogi East and Kogi West senatorial district under the leadership of Governor Ododo, a synergy rooted in unity and collective progress of the state.
