Thank YOU, good people of Kaduna! 😁
What an awesome time it was to come into your midst!
Ever remember my visit to our Sisters in Malale last October.

Today, your young ones& women @ our Town Hall meeting in Arewa Hall &our visit to Central Market made my heart sing💃🏾🇳🇬✅👍🏾🙏🏾
WE shall surely get the #NewNigeriaOfOurDream.

It takes a people who are TIRED of Mediocrity & Failure to use the Power of their Votes to terminate bad leadership.

In Akure 2days ago, a women said:
“We are no longer interested in their 3 mudus of rice. We want Good Government”
The Women Leader of a Market said to me during our #WalkOfWomen #Walk4Naija; “Madam, You no dey run alone. All of us wey sabi wetin you fit do to better our lives and our country, dey run with you. When you win, Nigeria go win”.

The JOY of going into the midst of the people😁

Unconstitutional action! You, Mr President @MBuhari are a grave danger to our fragile Democracy. What happened to the Constitutional provision 292 on Discipline of Judges? Nigerians will not allow you the license to imperil our Democracy.
WE shall #Fight4Naija.
It is OUR DUTY.
There are only but a few Nigerians today that are not shocked and embarrassed at the case made against the CJN but come on, Mr President @MBuhari , you have GROSSLY ABUSED the principle of Separation of Powers in our Democracy by FAILING TO FOLLOW DUE PROCESS. Reverse that ABUSE.
You know what’s worse, @NGRPresident @MBuhari , it is the fact that observers of your usual nepotistic instincts could already predict where you were headed with the Judiciary. You DIVIDE your people too much by your words and actions. WE have had enough of such poor Leadership.

Three hours ago, I arrived far flung Cabo in Mexico where our Albert Einstein’s Genius100 Visionaries meeting is holding.

#Fight4Naija
I was delighted to read reactions of real patriots to my announcement that I’ve decided to withdraw from the 2019 Presidential race& end my membership of Allied Congress Party of Nigeria- ACPN.

#Fight4Naija
I have also seen the reaction of ACPN leadership to my decision. Fortunately, they have divinely helped me by making the Nigerian public now fully understand why I had to swiftly depart from their midst.

Following the reactions of Nigerian citizens at home and abroad to the 2019 Presidential Debate held on Saturday 19 January 2019, and after extensive consultations with leaders from various walks of life across the country over the past few days...
I have decided to step down from the presidential race and focus on helping to build a Coalition for a viable alternative to the #APCPDP in the 2019 general elections.
This coalition for a viable alternative has now more than ever before become an urgent mission for and on behalf of the citizenry.

❤️🔔✝️THREAD ~ about my Jesus the Good Shepherd oil painting, sheep, and what all of this has to do with Obama, politics, communism/socialism, corruption, and MAGA. I will number these & on last tweet I'll use /end thread/ This will be long. First, these were our guinea fowl.
(2) I say "were" because when we had to sell our hobby farm, we sold or gave away all of our animals. In previous tweets, I talked about how hard it was to have to sell our "house", but I didn't mention that it was a much bigger loss. Tore our hearts in two to let go of animals.
(3) I have to confess, I'm not much of a farm girl. I didn't know the first thing about any of this. I enjoyed the beauty of the countryside alone. But one day we were infested with ticks. One thing led to another, and I was talked into getting guinea fowl (they eat ticks)

Hi guys, some of you need to dissent/ decline wrt the #manels youve been put on, at the @skochgroup event
- @SkochSameer pls check.
- Guys on manels include @nitin_gadkari @ManishTewari @ashwani_mahajan @iam_anandv @prasanna_s @prasanto @nixxin @AnupamSaraph @pavanduggal + others
2. Does this reflect lack of #merit or prevalence of #sexism that @skochgroup has found only 4 women of worth, out of 46 speakers?

- The 4 women: @ShamikaRavi @rachnakhaira @navikakumar, Yamini Aiyar

- How are the 42 men feeling?
cc @SkochSameer @SreenivasanJain @ManishTewari
3. Today began with @skochgroup declaring that only 4 women were found #meritorious, to speak on tech.
But 42 men were worthy.
They celebrated this #inequality, with a full page ad in Indian Express.

Reform-leaning politicians have always had serious opposition from the political elite, who wish to perpetuate the status quo. Today, Kayode Fayemi is the political barometer for governors/public leaders who wish to implement system-wide reform in the system.
#EdReform #Kaduna
Educational reform in Kaduna state in the last few days has generated the usual bickering that permeates the political divide. The conversations that my generation needs to have regarding education are many, but should be beyond the childish politicking that's pervasive so far
The dangers of politicizing our educational system is that 1) children suffer 2) our future is endangered 3) we keep losing our competitiveness as we fail to raise a new generation of thinkers with the skills & resources required to better their lives, add to nation's prosperity
