I’m giving away 1M naira, fully sponsored by me! To enter, just say one good thing you love about my mentor @elrufai in the comments. I’ll pick the winner at random. My love and support for Malam is unconditional. @B_ELRUFAI @BashirElRufai @HafizBayero
True leadership is not measured only by the positions held or the power exercised, but by the number of lives touched, opportunities created and people empowered along the way.
Mallam Nasir @elrufai's words reflect a philosophy of leadership that goes beyond personal achievements. To raise people, give them opportunities and watch them rise, even beyond your own accomplishments, is one of the greatest legacies any leader can leave behind.
Because true greatness is not threatened by the success of others; it takes pride in creating it.

Where is Imran U. Wakili?
By his own account, police officers stormed the home of @IU_Wakilii on Thursday, towed his car, seized his younger brother in his place, and ordered him to report to the station. He said he was on his way. Since then, his family has heard nothing. This is what Bola Tinubu's APC government has made of Nigeria: a country where a young man's opinions can cost him his liberty, and where the police take a brother hostage to bring a critic in.
Let me be clear. If Imran is in police custody, the Nigeria Police must say so today, tell his family where he is being held, state the charge against him, and give him access to his lawyer. Holding a citizen in silence is not policing; it is intimidation, and Nigerians see it for exactly what it is. Bola may silence one voice, but he cannot silence a nation that is already hungry, angry, and watching.
As President, I will restore the rule of law, protect every Nigerian's right to speak freely, and ensure that no citizen ever disappears for holding the government to account. Criticism is not a crime.
Free Imran now. -AA

I am concerned by reports regarding the whereabouts of Imran U. Wakili and the circumstances surrounding his reported arrest by the police. While the full details remain unclear, every citizen is entitled to personal liberty, fair treatment and the protection of the law. Law enforcement must be conducted within constitutional limits, with due process and respect for fundamental rights.
I urge the relevant authorities to clarify the situation, establish Imran’s whereabouts and ensure that the circumstances surrounding this incident are properly addressed. Our democracy depends on institutions that uphold the law while protecting the rights and freedoms of every Nigerian. In a democracy, the freedom of speech and expression is sacrosanct.
Any government that is intimidated by the statements of its citizens is simply highlighting its own lack of confidence and insecurities. We anxiously await answers and expect Imran to be free and well. Sadly, this shameless acts of intimidation against opposition voices continues to be only policy position of certain governments, especially the Kaduna State Government of the day.

A NEW GENERATION, A LEGACY OF ACTIVISM AND IDEOLOGY! ❤️
Alhamdulillah! I am delighted to announce that God has blessed the Maikudi family with a beautiful new addition.
With immense joy and gratitude, I welcome our newest family member, Muhammad-Sanusi Ibrahim Maikudi! ❤️
As @ElrufaiGirls and @Safreenarrhh rightly put it, “Another Omcrade from three generations of activism and politics!”
A new generation, born into a legacy of activism, political consciousness and ideological conviction.
An El-Rufaist ideologue, a Sufi, and undoubtedly a new addition to a family whose history is deeply rooted in activism and public engagement.
May Allah grant him good health, wisdom, righteousness and a life of purpose. May he grow to uphold the values of knowledge, courage, service and humanity.
Welcome to the world, little Maikudi. The legacy continues! ❤️

256 DAYS @elrufai IN DETENTION.
16 February - 30 October 2026.
All we ask for is justice, fairness, and due process. No one is above the law, and no one should be denied their fundamental rights. Justice must prevail!

The Nigerian Police reportedly went to the house of this Twitter influencer @IU_Wakilii and when they couldn’t find him, they arrested his brother in his place and towed his car. What exactly is his brother’s offence? Why should an innocent family member be made to suffer for someone else’s alleged offence?
Liability is personal. A person should not be arrested or detained merely because they are related to, or share a family with a suspect.
ARREST IN LIEU IS ILLEGAL. The Nigerian Police must respect the rule of law and stop subjecting innocent family members to intimidation and unlawful detention.
Is being in opposition now a criminal offence in Nigeria? Must people who disagree with those in power be subjected to harassment, intimidation and persecution? Since when did expressing dissent become a crime?

Information reaching me indicates that one of our own, fellow El-Rufaist @IU_Wakilii, has reportedly been arrested.
When are we going to outgrow this culture of intimidation? Nobody should be subjected to intimidation for their views or political association.
We demand transparency, respect for his fundamental rights, and his immediate release if there is no lawful basis for his continued detention. Justice and due process must prevail. 💯

Some statements are remembered because of the circumstances that gave birth to them.
When Mallam Nasir El-Rufai was Governor of Kaduna State, he made his position on banditry very clear. He refused to entertain the idea of negotiating with people responsible for killing innocent citizens, kidnapping families and destroying communities.
His words were strong, his position was uncompromising, and his approach attracted both support and criticism.
But one thing should never be forgotten: behind every security debate are real people, families who lost loved ones, communities that were displaced and citizens who simply wanted to live without fear.
Leadership is not just about how strongly you speak against a problem; it is also about the results people experience under your watch.
And perhaps the bigger lesson is that the safety of ordinary citizens should never become a political talking point. It should remain a responsibility that every government must answer for.
