A CLASSIC VICTORY: TY BURATAI HUMANITY CARE FOUNDATION HAILS 135 SPECIAL FORCES FOR HEROIC RESCUE OF 86 KIDNAP VICTIMS
The TY Buratai Humanity Care Foundation writes to commend the exceptional gallantry and professionalism displayed by the officers and men of the 135 Special Forces Battalion Forward Operating Base, Buratai, Borno State, in the successful counter-insurgency operations of 9 November 2025.
This was Contained in a statement Signed by the chairman of the Foundation Ibrahim Dahiru Danfulani Sadaukin Garkuwan Keffi/Betara Biu and made available to the Press.
The unit’s swift and coordinated response to the terrorist attack at Dutsen Kura, their decisive pursuit to Mangari, and their ability to overpower an enemy ambush underscore a high level of combat readiness and courage. The heroic rescue of 86 kidnapped victims is a monumental humanitarian achievement that deserves the highest praise.
The personal leadership of the Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel YM Abdullahi, was pivotal. His gallantry in leading the Quick Reaction Force from the front, his tactical brilliance in neutralizing an ambush, and his relentless pursuit directly forced the terrorists to abandon their captives and assets. This is leadership of the finest order.
In a related operation, which interdicted a major logistics network and arrested 29 suppliers in Mangada, demonstrates excellent intelligence utilization and a strategic blow to the terrorists’ capabilities.
The synergy and commitment shown in these twin operations are a testament to the standards of training and esprit de corps in the Nigerian Army. The TY Buratai Humanity Care Foundation and its grand patron Amb Lt Gen Tukur Yusufu Buratai Rtd CFR convey their profound gratitude to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen W Shuaibu NAM, Lieutenant Colonel YM Abdullahi and his gallant troops. Their success is a classic model of effective counter-insurgency.
The foundation is confident that such victories will continue under the CDS and the COAS strategic guidance.

It’s an honor and a privilege to be with you today, surrounded by such compassionate hearts, all gathered for a cause that means so much to us at Primus Charity Foundation, and I believe, to all of us.
To the women from the Bariga and Shomulu community, thank you for joining us today. To the medical team, officers and officials, we appreciate your presence today. Today, we are here not just as individuals, but as a community united by love, faith, and a shared purpose.
Our mission today is simple: we are here to give back. To give back to the women who have given so much—whether in raising children, caring for their families, or being steadfast in the face of the hardest of trials. We’re here to offer you access to medical care and supplies that may assist your daily needs. We want to show you the love and dignity you deserve, and to remind you that you are not forgotten.
I want to take a moment to speak directly to any widows who may be here today: I want you to know that your journey, your grief, your healing is seen. You are not invisible. You are not forgotten. And you are loved—by this community and by a God who holds every tear, every pain, and every memory in His hands. In your grief, He promises to be near. In your weakness, He promises to be strong. You are not walking this road alone.
Thank you for being here, thank you for taking the time out of your day to come. May God bless each and every one of you, and may He continue to guide us as we serve others in His name.

BREAKING: Ambassador Ajadi Resigns from NNPP, Joins PDP, Says Move Is ‘Strategic, Patriotic’
BREAKING: Ambassador Ajadi Resigns from NNPP, Joins PDP, Says Move Is ‘Strategic, Patriotic’
Nigerian politician, businessman, and social reform advocate, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has officially resigned from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), describing the move as “a strategic and patriotic step toward rebuilding Nigeria’s unity and hope.”
The announcement came on Monday, November 10, 2025, during a press briefing where Ajadi formally presented copies of his resignation letter to journalists, signaling his official withdrawal from the NNPP and alignment with the Peoples Democratic Party.
In the letter, which was formally addressed to the Ward Chairman, NNPP Chairman of Obafemi Owode Local Government, the Ogun State NNPP Chairman, the NNPP Southwest Chairman, and the National Chairman of the party, Ajadi stated that his decision came after deep reflection on Nigeria’s political direction and the need to work within a broader platform capable of driving genuine national transformation.
“My decision to join the Peoples Democratic Party is both strategic and patriotic,” Ajadi declared. “I have great respect for the NNPP and what it stands for, but at this point in Nigeria’s history, I believe the PDP offers a wider and stronger platform for national reconciliation, youth empowerment, and true federalism.”
Ajadi, who was the NNPP governorship candidate in Ogun State during the 2023 general elections after stepping down as a presidential aspirant in solidarity with Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who later became the party’s presidential candidate, clarified that his exit from the NNPP was not borne out of animosity but guided by conviction and renewed purpose.
“There is no bad blood between me and my former party,” he said. “I remain grateful for the opportunity to have served under its banner. However, as Nigeria continues to grapple with economic hardship, unemployment, and leadership challenges, it is time for like-minded patriots to close ranks and rebuild trust in governance.”
Political observers have described Ajadi’s defection as one of the most strategic realignments in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections, a period expected to reshape Nigeria’s political alliances and ideological coalitions.
Beyond politics, Ambassador Ajadi is renowned for his humanitarian and youth development efforts. Through the Olufemi Ajadi Foundation, he has provided training, micro-grants, and support to widows, artisans, and small-scale farmers across several states in the South-West, Northern, and Southern regions. His social campaigns and media engagements have long promoted youth inclusion in governance, entrepreneurship, and peaceful coexistence among Nigeria’s diverse ethnic and religious communities.
He has also been a consistent voice for press freedom, security reform, and good governance, often emphasizing the need for responsive leadership and civic accountability.
“Nigeria is at a crossroads,” Ajadi noted. “We need leaders who can listen to the people and act selflessly. I am confident that my entry into the PDP will strengthen the party’s grassroots base and reawaken hope among ordinary Nigerians.”
Party officials in South-west described Ajadi’s defection as a “boost to the PDP’s democratic family,” praising his record of integrity, youth mobilization, and social impact as assets that will enrich the party’s vision.
Reaffirming his commitment to national service, Ambassador Ajadi pledged to work closely with PDP leaders at all levels to promote transparency, peace-building, and inclusive governance.
This is not just about party politics,” he reiterated. “It is about rekindling the faith of Nigerians in democracy and ensuring that our people begin to feel the real dividends of good governance.”
