Chidi Odinkalu, CGoF

Nasir @elrufai has caused to be issued on his behalf a tissue of untruths, #halftruths & falsehoods concerning his brutal persecution of his critics as @GovKaduna. To help his memory, here is a litany of #bodybags of critics who have suffered at his hands premiumtimesng.com/regional/nwest…

Abuja land looter Nyesom Wike was caught bragging about his power over the president and the judiciary. “He even said the president can’t do anything to him, and no judge in 2025 Nigeria would dare convict him of any stupid corruption,” an official said. gazettengr.com/exclusive-nyes…

Edo is working....

#WhiskeyWike said the same in 2022, no?

Collaboration, compliance, and creativity are the pillars for a stronger civic space in Nigeria. The call now is simple: scale policy to action — and let no CSO be left behind. #SouthEastRegionalConference2025 #SERC2025 #CivicSpace

Glad meeting Prof. Chidi Odinkalu at #SERC2025. Prof. Chidi is someone who's an inspiration to many young activists like us, and we are proud of the work he's done and still doing. I learnt today that he drafted the #FOI bill and has for 18 years worked on it until it was passed.

At the ongoing #SERC2025 on compliance by @Globalrightsng, Prof. @ChidiOdinkalu reminds participants that NGOs aren't personal property, they represent a collective civic responsibility & to achieve meaningful impact, we need to forge unconventional alliances that bring together.

The welcome remark by Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, Chair of the Global Rights Governing Board, was nothing short of a charge — sharp, clear, and necessary. He offered a brief history of Global Rights' journey, then swiftly turned our focus inward: @ChidiOdinkalu reminded us: 📌 NGOs…

Professor @ChidiOdinkalu concluded by saying that CSOs are collaborative efforts and not individual achievements. Establishing an NGO should be for common good and not for personal aggrandizement.

Professor @ChidiOdinkalu talked about collaborations and partnerships. He argued that CSOs are not more patriotic than government officials working hard to make Nigeria a better place for all of us. Therefore, we need to engage regularly to foster collaboration and cooperation.

Professor @ChidiOdinkalu argues that #CSOs in #Nigeria should look into local philanthropy as experience has shown that the business sector in Nigeria are partners in progress.

Professor @ChidiOdinkalu argues that CSOs should practice what we preach including starting our programs on time. He further argues that both churches and mosques are part of the CSOs in Nigeria and should be part of the regional conferences.

The #FieldMarshall goes home.... If you are in SE #Nigeria in the middle of August, pls consider joining us to pay a special homage to unquestionably one of the greatest sons of the region ever, Christian Chukwuemeka Chukwu, MFR.🙏💔🙏

In a normal human setting, a man who is perpetually drunk shouldn't be allowed to handle state files, just as he's not legally allowed to handle a steering wheel. Both the file & the steering wheel can be nuclear bombs in his hands. It's the reason Nyesom Wike is unfit for office

The colleagues at @GazetteNGR say "@GovWike goes berserk...."? I thought that was his standard mode - Wike's default mode is berserk #promax. gazettengr.com/exclusive-nyes…

Yesterday, @PoliceNG officer was administering teargas happily on protesters & didn't mind adding a volley or two of bullets for good measure. Today, he is retired & on the receiving end of the same treatment from ppl who were his colleagues yesterday. #BeKiafu!
