From what I have seen of the ADC so far, there are no prominent women among its leaders. If they want female votes, they need to come up with a gender equality policy that looks like this

Ayo Akinfe

[1] As from January 1 2026, all Nigerian females will have acess to free breast cancer screening

[2] Our National Assembly will pass a bill making it mandatory that as from 2027, at least one third of all political appointees must be female. Any state cabinet that fails to meet this requirement will not be recognised and have its federal allocation withheld

I look forward to this new ADC alliance holding its first ever party conference. When they do, one of the first motions I expect them to pass is an agreement to place a moratorium on crude oil exploration

Ayo Akinfe

[1] As recently as 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari signed the Deep Offshore Act into law, increasing our dependence on crude oil revenue. Everywhere on planet earth, nations are moving away from fossil fuels

[2] Can someone please explain to me why before this bill was signed in 2019, our National Assembly did not debate imposing a moratorium on oil prospecting and drilling across Nigeria

Sai Baba Buhari was a chant you heard from every Almajiri in northern Nigeria because they saw him as their champion. Our National Assembly should now pass a Muhammadu Buhari Almajiri Act to honour him

Ayo Akinfe

[1] We should create a Nigerian Border Guard and seek to recruit 2m of these Almajiri youths into it. Their first task would be to plant trees across Nigeria’s northern border all the way from Kebbi to Adamawa states. These trees, which shall be painted in Nigeria’s colour will mark our territorial borders. Ultimately, they will be tasked with building fences along our borders

Muhammadu Buhari was the de facto Sardauna, so the best parting gift the APC and ADC alliance could give him would be to reach a consensus on how to bridge the socio-economic gap between northern and southern Nigeria

 

Ayo Akinfe

[1] No matter how you cut it, the main responsibility for getting northern Nigeria out of her current economic morass lies with the Northern State Governors Forum (NSGF). It is not the federal government that is going to create local jobs, it is the state governments but Abuja needs to keep up the pressure on the NSGF to eradicate poverty in their states

By any standards you want to use, the War Against Indiscipline remains Muhammadu Buhari's greatest legacy. If Nigerians are sincere about wanting a better country, they should press President Tinubu to re-institute that policy

Ayo Akinfe

[1] Nigerians like to hide behind the excuse of bad leaders but they are just being dishonest. They know deep down that even if our leaders want to be honest men, we will not let them be honest men. Nigeria’s leaders are a mirror image of the rest of society
