*A Call to Reconciliation and Healing for Nigeria* My fellow Nigerians, We stand at a crossroads in the history of our beloved nation. A point where division has deepened among us in ways we have never seen before. Trust between the people and their leaders has eroded. Tribes that once lived as neighbors now struggle to coexist peacefully. Religion, meant to uplift the spirit, has become a source of separation. Politics divides families and communities. Greed and evil have taken root in many hearts. Too often, the focus is on personal gain at any cost, oppressing the weak, exploiting the vulnerable, and speaking ill of our own country. This path leads only to greater pain and possible collapse! We cannot continue this way and expect a better future. Great nations are built on genuine love, mutual trust, and shared commitment. It is time for us to choose a different road, one of reconciliation, mediation, and national healing. To our leaders at all levels, please know that before any meaningful progress can be made, you must win the hearts and minds of the Nigerian people. True leadership is not about power or position alone; rather it is about restoring confidence through fairness, empathy, and visible care for the welfare of every citizen. Without the people's trust, even the best policies will fail. History shows us this truth time and again. Colonial policies that divided us, the painful wounds of the Nigerian Civil War, and the post-war efforts at unity under the banner of “No Victor, No Vanquished” all remind us how fragile our nation can be, and how strong it becomes when we choose healing. To every Nigerian, old and young, let us come together for a sincere national conversation. We need a gathering of minds and hearts where leaders, elders, youth, traditional rulers, religious leaders, and ordinary citizens can speak openly, listen deeply, and work toward genuine reconciliation. We must address the hurts of the past, confront present injustices, and build bridges across ethnic, religious, and political lines. To our young people especially, you are the hope and future of this nation. Do not inherit the divisions of yesterday. Be intentional about learning our full history, the good and the painful, so you can avoid repeating its mistakes. Choose integrity over quick money. Choose service over selfishness. Choose unity over tribalism. Groom yourselves to become leaders who value truth, compassion, and the common good. The Nigeria you build will be the one your children inherit. Nigeria is more than lines on a map drawn by colonial hands. We are a rich tapestry of over 250 ethnic groups, diverse languages, faiths, and cultures. Our strength has always lain in our diversity when united by a common purpose. Let us recommit to the ideals that brought us independence: one indivisible nation, where justice, equity, and opportunity belong to all. The time for blame and bitterness is past. The time for healing and rebuilding has come. Let love replace hatred. Let trust replace suspicion. Let commitment replace selfishness. Through sincere dialogue, forgiveness where it is due, and deliberate actions for unity, we can forge a stronger, more peaceful, and prosperous Nigeria. We owe this to ourselves, to our ancestors, and to the generations yet unborn. Together, let us rise! Nigeria, heal! Nigeria, unite!! Nigeria, shine!!!

THE WINNING TEAM ✌🏻✌🏻💪💪

The most capable of them all

At the Gen Z town hall, a young woman told us that in the local government area she has lived for most of her life, the road by her house has needed repairs for about 15 years. She said that certain areas, the so-called "less developed" ones, seem to be left behind whenever development in Lagos comes up, and asked what plans we have for them. It was a powerful question that goes beyond just one road. It is about how neglect occurs and how it is felt. When that happens residents conclude they don't matter, whether because of demography or geography. No area of Lagos should ever feel that way. Her question also speaks to how devolution is key to effective government. No meaningful progress is possible without devolving power to local governments and building their capacity as real partners in governing, not emasculated subordinates. Now more than ever, it's time for a new way for Lagos. We cannot keep allocating huge resources on new contracts, many of which never get proper scrutiny, while neglecting the infrastructure we already have. My government will: 1. Fund, equip, empower and energize the works departments in our local governments, and coordinate them with the state agency, so that fixing a road no longer has to wait endlessly on Alausa. 2. Emphasize effective management to ensure we get the full benefit from existing infrastructure, even as we insist that government must be more judicious when we invest in new projects. No part of Lagos will be left behind under my watch. Ó ti yá; ọ̀nà tuntun yá. FD.
