Questions

Let me be clear: Abuja is not just for indigenes. Abuja is Nigeria's capital — YOUR capital, OUR capital.

The Igbo woman selling in Wuse Market — she's Abuja. The Hausa okada rider in Kubwa — he's Abuja. The Yoruba civil servant in Garki — she's Abuja. The Gbagyi farmer whose land was taken — he's Abuja.

This question about indigeneship is the exact distraction they want you focused on while they steal from all of us.

My agenda puts indigenous rights at the CENTER — full compensation for ancestral lands, legal protection against displacement, a Land Rights Tribunal. Show me ONE so-called 'indigene' politician who has fought for indigenous people the way I'm committed to fighting.

You know what that criticism really means? It means "She can't be controlled." "She won't play the game." "She'll actually do what she promised."

Let me ask you something: How's it working out electing politicians who've NEVER fought for anything in their lives?

Track record speaks: Co-convened #BringBackOurGirls and kept it alive for 1,000+ days. Led #NigeriansMarchAgainstCorruption. Stood in #EndSARS when it was dangerous. Founded Citizens Hub, empowering thousands.

The best leaders didn't come from political dynasties. They came from the struggle: Nelson Mandela, Václav Havel, Wangari Maathai.

Let me be very clear: I am not running AGAINST Senator Ireti Kingibe. I am running to REPRESENT the hopes and aspirations of Abuja citizens.

Senator Ireti is a colleague, a woman I respect. Yes, Peter Obi is my principal. And here's what's important: Peter Obi supports BOTH of us. Because democracy is strengthened when citizens have OPTIONS.

This is not about conflict between two women. This is about giving the people of Abuja the power to choose their own representation based on who they believe will fight hardest for them. Let the voters decide.

I didn't leave the ADC because of disappointment or conflict. I left to honor a commitment and follow where the movement is going.

When I joined the ADC, it was to support Peter Obi's presidential ambition. After the 2023 elections, as we looked ahead to 2027, Peter Obi chose the NDC as the vehicle for this vision.

My decision to join the NDC wasn't about hero worship — it was about strategic alignment with where millions of Nigerians are already heading.

I don't suffer incompetence or corruption quietly. Some call that confrontational. I call it accountability.

I've been told I'm "too direct," "too outspoken," "too uncompromising."

The Senate doesn't need more people who "get along." It needs people who get RESULTS.

The Federal Capital Territory Senate election is on Saturday, February 14, 2027.

Voter registration is ongoing. Make sure you're registered, know your polling unit, and mark your calendar!

I'm running for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Senate seat in the National Assembly.

The FCT Senator represents ALL residents across the six area councils: AMAC, Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje, Kwali, and Abaji — all 3.5 million of you.

The New Democratic Congress (NDC) is the political party I'm contesting under. It's the party Peter Obi chose as the vehicle for the movement toward competence-based, character-driven governance in Nigeria.

The NDC represents where millions of Nigerians — across tribes, religions, and regions — are placing their hope for 2027.

Money matters in elections, but it's not everything.

When 100,000 volunteers knock on doors, register voters, and share our message, that's more powerful than billboards. Look at Peter Obi's 2023 campaign — massively outspent by the establishment, yet created the largest grassroots movement in Nigeria's history.

Our currency is credibility, track record, and commitment to service. Those things can't be bought, only earned. And I've spent 21 years earning them.

Electoral fraud is real, and we're not naive about it. Our strategy is fourfold:

1. Massive voter education — teaching people that their vote is worth more than any handout.
2. 100,000 polling unit volunteers — monitoring the process and reporting irregularities in real-time.
3. Civil society & international observer partnerships for transparency.
4. Aggressive legal action — we will pursue EVERY documented case of fraud.

I'll continue fighting for citizens — my commitment doesn't depend on holding office. But we're not planning to lose.

With your help, we won't have to worry about "what if we lose." We're going to shock them in 2027.

The Seven Pillars are my legislative agenda for A Better Abuja:

1. Security — "Nobody Should Fear For Their Life In Abuja"
2. Economic Empowerment — "Your Hustle Must Pay"
3. Infrastructure — "Water, Roads, Light, Healthcare Are Your Rights"
4. Education — "No Child Left Behind"
5. Maternal Health — "Pregnancy Is Not A Death Sentence"
6. Land Rights — "They Can't Just Bulldoze Your Home"
7. Transparency — "You Will See Where Every Kobo Goes"

Each pillar has a specific bill, measurable outcomes, and transparent tracking. Read the full agenda →

1. Equitable FCT Budget Allocation — Abuja generates billions that should benefit residents, not disappear into unaccountable projects.
2. Public-Private Partnerships with development agencies (World Bank, EU, AfDB) and private sector.
3. Grassroots Mobilization — 100,000 committed citizens providing hands-on support.
4. Federal Government Grants for security, infrastructure, and healthcare.
5. Smart Resource Management — complete transparency prevents waste and corruption.

First 100 Days: All seven bills drafted, consulted, and introduced. Implementation agencies established. Budget allocations secured.

First Year: 10 community policing centers operational. 50 boreholes, 2 major roads complete. 10 PHCs upgraded. 50 schools renovated. 25,000 youth trained.

Years 2–4: Full rollout across all 62 wards. All targets met or exceeded. Monthly progress reports published.

Hard numbers, not rhetoric:

• 500,000+ residents with clean water (verifiable by location)
• 50+ PHCs upgraded (site visits, before/after photos)
• 200+ schools renovated (photographically documented)
• 100,000+ women served through maternal health programs
• 50,000+ scholarships awarded (recipient list published)

Every metric will be publicly tracked, independently audited quarterly, and community-verified. If I say 500,000 people got water, you can visit those communities and SEE the boreholes.

1. Community Monitoring Committees — citizens tracking execution in their own areas.
2. Digital Transparency Platform — all budgets published in real-time. Anyone can see where every naira goes.
3. Independent Civil Society Auditing
4. Monthly Public Reporting — no hiding behind bureaucracy.
5. Legal Consequences — prosecution, not just administrative slaps.

Yes! Remote volunteer opportunities include: social media management, phone banking (call voters from anywhere), content creation (writing, graphics, videos), research and fact-checking, fundraising, and database management.

Absolutely not! Most of our volunteers are first-timers. We provide a 2-hour orientation, training specific to your role, ongoing mentorship, and all resources.

You don't need experience — just passion for A Better Abuja.

Whatever you can give! Even 1 hour a week makes a difference. You can share posts on social media (5 minutes daily), phone bank from home (1 hour weekly), or attend one event per month.

There's no minimum commitment. Every contribution counts.

Donation methods: Bank transfer, card payment, mobile money, USSD. All donations tracked and published monthly.

We'd rather have 10,000 donations of ₦1,000 than 10 donations of ₦1 million. Because when thousands of people invest in a campaign, thousands of people fight to protect that investment. Small donations from many people = people-powered campaign.

We publish monthly financial reports showing all donations and expenditures. Complete transparency is a core principle.

You can choose to have your name published for recognition, or remain anonymous. Your choice, your privacy respected.

Multi-pronged approach:

1. Enhanced community policing on all major routes
2. Mandatory registration and GPS tracking of all commercial vehicles
3. Undercover "one chance" task force targeting known hotspots
4. Designated safe taxi ranks at major locations
5. Partnership with ride-hailing companies for data sharing
6. Quick-response teams with 5-minute target response time

Rural security strategy:

1. Community policing partnerships with local vigilantes and traditional rulers
2. Technology-driven surveillance in high-risk areas
3. Quick-response teams stationed in each area council
4. Intelligence gathering through trusted community networks
5. Improved road access for security and emergency vehicles

No community should be too remote for protection.

4. Retroactive compensation for past land taken without payment
5. Legal penalties for government officials who violate these rights
