Southerners have called you a "Terrorist" Terrorist Sympathizer" and all sorts of terrible names. You have never for once attempted to take legal actions. But a fellow Northerner telling you the truth is where you draw a line. You can't bully anybody and Shame on you.
PUBLIC NOTE As a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I have personally submitted a formal petition against Bilkisu Umar to the appropriate authorities concerning what I believe to be a sustained and continuing pattern of personal targeting, online harassment, repeated references to me, derogatory commentary, vulgar abuse and, most recently, the extension of the dispute to my identity as a husband and father. The material available to me documents relevant publications spanning at least August 2020 to September 2026, representing approximately six years of repeated public references to me. The attached evidence schedule contains 28 identified posts, with their respective dates and descriptions. I want to make my position clear from the outset that I fully recognise the right of every Nigerian to criticise public officials, politicians, public personalities and other persons participating in public life. I am not asking the authorities to criminalise legitimate criticism or disagreement. My complaint concerns the pattern, persistence, personal nature and escalation of the conduct documented in the evidence, particularly the circumstances in which my wife and family have repeatedly been introduced into commentary concerning me. The conduct documented in my petition includes: Repeatedly naming and referencing me on X. Tagging my X account in publications. Quoting or commenting on my posts. Repeated commentary concerning my professional and political activities. Personal criticism extending beyond discussion of my public activities. Derogatory and insulting references to me. Allegations and insinuations concerning my motives and professional activities. Vulgar personal abuse directed at me. Continued references to me over a prolonged period. Continued engagement despite my decision to remain silent. Continued engagement even after I expressly asked that the conduct stop. Most recently, a direct reference to my status as a father and husband, thereby bringing my family circumstances into the exchange. I respectfully submit that the Respondent should be given the opportunity to provide whatever lawful explanation she may have. The purpose of my petition is not to prejudge that explanation, but to ensure that the facts and evidence are properly examined by the competent authorities. I recognise that freedom of expression is an important constitutional right and that criticism of public figures is ordinarily part of democratic discourse. Accordingly, I am not asking the authorities to investigate the Respondent merely because she disagrees with me, criticises a government, opposes a political party or expresses an unfavourable opinion about my public activities. My request is narrower and straightforward that I ask the competent authorities to examine the cumulative conduct, including its persistence, personal nature, vulgar abuse, repeated references to my private family circumstances and the continuation of the conduct following my express request that it stop. I respectfully leave the final legal classification of the conduct entirely to the competent investigating and prosecuting authorities after a proper examination of the evidence. I have chosen to pursue this matter through lawful and institutional channels, rather than through retaliation or a prolonged social-media confrontation. I believe every citizen is entitled to seek the protection of the law when they believe their rights or those of their family may have been infringed. My petition therefore asks for investigation, preservation and examination of the relevant evidence and whatever lawful action the competent authorities consider appropriate based on the facts established.

I stopped taking that guy seriously a long time ago. We’ve seen Southerners on X call him all sorts of names, even “terrorist,” yet I’ve never seen him respond by threatening them. His strength seems to be directed at his own people, and tomorrow he’ll still come back asking for their votes. Make it make sense! 😂 We’re here watching closely to see how everything unfolds.
Bashir Ahmed is responding to a genuine reply by threatening to "Involve Authorities". 😂🤣 His fall off should be a lesson to many people here. Make judicious use of your opportunity. Any one with proper planning in Buhari's administration has accepted his faith and moved on but he is still here, doing everything to get the attention of people who will never rate you. From a Personal assistant to a Special assistant. For 8 years you where in the corridors of power. Bashir you have had your time, allow Tinubu and his cronies to enjoy their own. THE DON'T WANT YOU!

PRESS STATEMENT Nigeria @ 66: David Mark Felicitates Nigerians, Calls for Renewed Commitment to National Unity Former Senate President and National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Alechenu Bonaventure Mark, GCON, has felicitated with Nigerians as the nation marks its 66th Independence Anniversary, urging citizens and leaders alike to renew their commitment to the unity, peace, stability and development of the country. Senator Mark, in a goodwill message to Nigerians, described the attainment of independence from British colonial rule as a defining milestone in the nation’s history and a testament to the resilience, courage and enduring aspirations of the Nigerian people. He said that, 66 years after independence, the occasion should not merely be a celebration of the past but an opportunity for sober reflection on the journey so far and a renewed determination to build a Nigeria where justice, equity, security and prosperity are accessible to all. According to him, Nigeria possesses enormous human and material resources capable of transforming the country into a prosperous and globally respected nation, stressing that the challenge is to harness these resources responsibly for the common good. “At 66, our nation has every reason to celebrate, but we must also reflect deeply on our journey as a people. Independence was not simply the termination of colonial rule; it was the beginning of our collective responsibility to build a nation founded on justice, unity, peace and shared prosperity. “Nigeria belongs to all of us. Our diversity should remain a source of strength, not division. We must continue to promote national unity, mutual respect and inclusion, while ensuring that every citizen, regardless of ethnic, religious, political or geographical background, has a sense of belonging. “The Nigeria of our dream is possible if we place national interest above personal and sectional considerations. We must strengthen our democratic institutions, uphold the rule of law and create an environment where our young people can live, work and realise their potential in their own country.” Senator Mark acknowledged the sacrifices of the nation’s founding fathers, past leaders, members of the armed forces, security agencies and millions of ordinary Nigerians who have contributed to the survival and growth of the country over the decades. He called on political leaders to see public office as a solemn trust and an opportunity to serve rather than a platform for personal enrichment, urging all Nigerians to remain committed to democratic values and peaceful coexistence. The ADC National Chairman also urged Nigerians not to lose faith in the country despite the challenges confronting the nation, stressing that the strength of Nigeria lies ultimately in the resilience and determination of its people. He expressed optimism that with visionary leadership, responsible citizenship, institutional reforms and a renewed spirit of patriotism, Nigeria can overcome its present difficulties and fulfil its enormous potential. Senator Mark congratulated Nigerians at home and abroad on the 66th Independence Anniversary and prayed for peace, stability, prosperity and greater unity across the country. “As we celebrate Nigeria at 66, let us renew our faith in our country and recommit ourselves to the task of building the Nigeria we desire and deserve. The journey may be challenging, but together, with courage, sacrifice and sincerity of purpose, we can build a nation that future generations will be proud to inherit. “Happy Independence Anniversary to all Nigerians. May God continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Signed: Kola Ologbondiyan, Special Adviser,Media and Publicity to the National Chairman, African Democratic Congress (ADC)

PRESS STATEMENT TMG: Zulum’s Arrest of Citizens Is a Gift to Tinubu, Reckless Abuse of Power — ADC PCC — Intimidation, Arrests Won’t Stop Nigerians From Voting Out Tinubu in 2027. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has condemned the arrest of members of the “Tinubu Must Go” (TMG) movement in Maiduguri, Borno State, by the administration of Governor Babagana Zulum, describing the action as a reckless abuse of power and office. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Director of Media and Publicity of the ADC PCC, Kola Ologbondiyan, described the arrests as an attempt to intimidate and silence citizens expressing opposition to the government. “The arrest of members of the Tinubu Must Go (#TMG) movement in Maiduguri by the state governor is reckless and a total abuse of power and office. It is a welcome gift for President Tinubu,” Ologbondiyan said. He alleged that some state governors were now engaged in a race to impress President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the expense of the rights and welfare of ordinary citizens. “What is in vogue among some of these current governors is a race to impress Tinubu at the expense of ordinary citizens,” he stated. Ologbondiyan stressed that Nigerians have the constitutional right to express their political preferences and opinions, including calls to vote for party and candidate of their choice in 2027. He maintained that expressing the slogan “Tinubu must go” or “Tinubu must leave” constitutes a form of political expression and, in itself, does not amount to a criminal offence. The ADC PCC spokesman further alleged that the arrests were intended to intimidate members of the ADC and other opposition groups ahead of the 2027 general elections. He, however, insisted that arrests, harassment and intimidation would not deter Nigerians from exercising their franchise. “The intimidation of citizens through arrest and other unlawful means will not deter the people from voting out President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the January 16, 2027 election,” Ologbondiyan said. The ADC PCC therefore called on Governor Zulum to ensure the immediate and unconditional release of those arrested and to guarantee their safety. The council also urged the authorities to ensure that no harm came to the detainees, recalling what it described as a similar incident in Minna, Niger State, a fortnight earlier. “Zulum should know that in a few months, he will be an ordinary citizen, and no amount of intimidation and harassment will deter Nigerians from voting out Tinubu, Ologbondiyan added. The ADC PCC also appealed to the international community, particularly the African Union (AU), European Union (EU), British High Commission and United States Embassy, to take note of what it described as the growing use of harassment and intimidation against citizens exercising their democratic rights. It urged the international community to support efforts to protect Nigeria’s democratic space and safeguard citizens’ fundamental rights. Ologbondiyan recalled that when the All Progressives Congress (APC) was in opposition, its members openly criticised and attacked the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. He said Jonathan, despite the criticism directed at his government, did not order the arrest of citizens merely for exercising their right to free speech.

If this was in Northern Nigeria, you will never hear the end of it. You will be seeing post about how Northerners are useless and supporting bad government. Until we realize the whole of Nigeria is not working, we will never get it right. RIP

PRESS STATEMENT 2027: Atiku Will Not Be an Absentee President, ADC PCC Assures Nigerians The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has assured Nigerians that its presidential candidate, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, will provide a physically present and responsive presidency when elected sworn into office on May 29, 2027. The Council said Atiku would not be an “absentee President” who is unavailable when the challenges confronting Nigerians require a presidential attention. Director of Media and Publicity of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Kola Ologbondiyan, gave the assurance on Monday in Abuja while receiving the leadership of the Atiku Unity Movement (AUM), led by its leader, Hon. Francis Eburuwe. Ologbondiyan said Atiku had consistently demonstrated an understanding of Nigeria’s economic and social challenges and had proposed policy interventions aimed at addressing them. He recalled that during the 2023 presidential campaign, Atiku advocated a phased approach to the withdrawal of fuel subsidy, arguing that the process should not impose excessive pressure on Nigerians. Contemporary reports from the 2023 campaign also documented that position. According to him, the experience of the past three years has reinforced the need for a presidency that is accessible, responsive and capable of taking timely decisions in the national interest. “The country needs a President who understands the challenges confronting Nigerians and is physically available to respond to the demands of governance. “Nigeria cannot afford a situation in which there is uncertainty over who is effectively directing the affairs of government at critical moments. The country requires firm and focused leadership,” he said. Ologbondiyan said Atiku’s commitment to governance would be anchored on confronting the nation’s economic difficulties, improving the welfare of citizens and restoring confidence in public institutions. He also said the ADC presidential candidate’s recent economic proposals were focused on reducing the burden of rising energy and living costs. Atiku has publicly proposed a production-based intervention for petroleum products refined in Nigeria, with a fixed spending limit, National Assembly approval and independent audits. Earlier, the leader of the Atiku Unity Movement (AUM) delegation, Hon. Francis Eburuwe, said the group was fully committed to the Atiku project and determined to mobilise Nigerians around what he described as the need for a change in the country’s political direction. Eburuwe said the movement would take the message of Atiku’s candidacy to Nigerians across the country, expressing confidence that an Atiku administration would address the challenges facing the nation and improve the welfare of citizens. He pledged the movement’s support for the ADC presidential campaign and called on its members to remain committed to grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections. Signed: Kola Ologbondiyan Director, Media and Publicity ADC Presidential Campaign Council.
