A walk through the cemetery
Dead quiet with all laid
Permanently to rest forever
Always worthy a reminder
As it's the final abode
Ground shoveled with emotions
Yet clock still ticking
Just a matter of time;
Turn by turn we get closer
To our final home
How prepared are we?

Indeed, "an inspiration to champion the rule of law, promote democracy and its institutions, and tolerate divergent views."
Yesterday’s ruling by the Supreme Court, which overturned the 2018 decision of the Federal High Court regarding an alleged N3.5 billion fraud case against Melrose General Services Ltd., has brought a long and arduous legal ordeal to a just and welcome conclusion.
As much as this case was between the EFCC and Melrose General Services Limited, it was a proxy war, with Melrose serving as a mere pawn in a larger scheme to victimize and persecute me. It was always clear that this case, just like my CCT case, was a thinly veiled attempt by the Buhari administration to use the EFCC for political gain. The allegations of "Paris Club Fraud" were nothing more than a smokescreen designed to weaken my office as President of the Senate and tarnish my reputation through spurious accusations similar to the Code of Conduct Tribunal, from which I was also acquitted.
As I said at the CCT, this case too was a politically motivated attack, not on corruption, but on the very foundations of our democracy. It aimed to undermine the independence of the judiciary, the separation of powers, and checks and balances—principles I have always fiercely defended. They hoped that by targeting me, they could sow discord within the legislature, turning colleagues against each other, ultimately weakening the institution of the Senate, and silencing dissenting voices.
I am profoundly grateful to Almighty Allah(SWT), the ultimate arbiter of justice, for guiding the Supreme Court to this righteous verdict. I commend the judiciary for their meticulous examination of the evidence and adherence to due process, which has ensured that justice prevailed. I also thank Melrose’s legal team for their tireless efforts in seeing this case to a just conclusion.
Moving forward, we all have to canvass for fairness in the fight against corruption. We should see this verdict as an inspiration to champion the rule of law, promote democracy and its institutions, and tolerate divergent views.

Sustainable Midwifery: Caring for Tomorrow’s World
On the 32nd International Day of the Midwife, I am truly honoured to join highly esteemed Professor @DunkleyBent, @IbuRobin Lim, and Ginger Garcia, in delivering keynote addresses to the Virtual International Day of the Midwife @VIDofM, a 24-hour Conference focusing on midwifery as a vital solution in adapting health systems to combat climate change, as midwives and their practice deliver safe and environmentally sustainable health services and are first responders when climate disasters hit.
The @WellbeingAfrica Foundation #Midwives promote and advocate the standards and frameworks of the International Confederation of Midwives @World_Midwives in our mission as continuous providers of safe, quality and ecologically sound health and wellbeing services, especially in the face of the climate crisis, which carries specific threats for women and girls, as hotter temperatures can lead to pregnancy complications and worsen maternal-health issues including premature births.
Midwives are instrumental in ensuring that health services are more mobile and can urgently reach women, yet a global shortage of nearly one million midwives and a lack of international commitment to invest limits their capacity, while further reinforcing the latest data that every two minutes a woman or girl dies during pregnancy, childbirth or its aftermath.
By replenishing and ramping up investing in midwifery education, training and services, and scaling midwifery-delivered care, we aim to contribute to saving 4.3M women and newborns annually by 2035, and to the Global Midwifery Acceleration Roadmap, jointly developed by @UNFPA, @UNICEF, @WHO, #ICM and global partners, to be launched at the @WorldHealthSmt.
Midwives are the providers of culturally sensitive health care, as leaders in their communities, and emergency responders, representing the single-most effective way to achieve safe motherhood and avoid preventable maternal deaths. Today I celebrate the courage and value of midwives globally, and wish everyone a Happy #IDM2024!

Everyone in Nigeria deserves access to quality healthcare when & where they need it, without facing financial burden.
Achieving this in Nigeria requires policy reforms that guarantee access to essential health services for all citizens, regardless of status.

I am a testimonial to the contribution of HE @bukolasaraki both as Governor & Senate President on the journey of UHC in Nigeria.
His amiable wife, HE @ToyinSaraki
has always supported the course through her @wellbeingafrica commitments.

My first calling as a medical doctor instilled in me a deep desire to improve the lives of others. This is a commitment that guided my past service as Governor of Kwara State, as the former Senator representing Kwara Central, and as the President of the Nigerian Senate between 2015 and 2019.
Some of you may remember the groundbreaking Kwara State Health Insurance Scheme, launched in 2003 under my leadership. This visionary program offered a full year of comprehensive medical services for a modest premium of N200. By 2011, it had reached 10 out of 16 local government areas, demonstrably improving maternal and childcare outcomes.
As President of the Senate, I was proud to champion the integration of a provision from the National Health Act 2014 into the 2018 Appropriation Law. This secured 1% of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund — ensuring sustained financial support for strengthening primary healthcare centres across the 774 local government areas of the country.
Today, as we commemorate #WorldHealthDay, and acknowledge the progress that has been made, we must all also recognize that there is still a lot to be done. Millions of Nigerians do not have access to basic healthcare services, and millions more are struggling with various forms of medical conditions.
This is why, across the board, we must all collaborate to prioritize further investments in our health infrastructure, embrace innovative solutions, and build a system that truly prioritizes the needs of our people.
As healthcare professionals, policymakers, community leaders, and everyday Nigerians, we must all move beyond creating awareness and push for tangible actions and progress for the future and development of our nation.

Dear young Nigerian,
Grow in patience. Most times we appear to be in a hurry to attain certain heights without being adequately prepared for such roles. Be planted so that you can take root. Let patience do a good work in you and through you. Don't rush your process. Embrace it.
