WELCOME ADDRESS BY HON. KHAIRAT ANIMASHAUN -AJIBOYE AT THE COMMUNITY LECTURE AND EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM: ENGAGING FESTAC YOUTHS IN THE PROMOTION OF PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT
Good morning to my Fathers, Mothers, Brothers, Sisters, Aunties, Uncles, Teachers, Neighbours, Juniors, Seniors, Our Erudite Professors, Representatives of government agencies and the Fourth Arm! I welcome you!!
Today is a good day simply because the decision to have this event was almost spontaneous. I have resided in Festac Town, down the road from here since 1977 with my great parents, Alhaji Bashiru and Alhaja Aminat Animashaun. We know how our communities were, structurally, culturally and socially! We All testify to how they are today.
Positive Dynamix, Peace and Development Initiative was created in 2015. The idea to create it was borne by me officially on the 9th of September, 2015, over 7 years ago.
The Vision is simply to create a more egalitarian society TO:
1. Encourage girl child education.
2. Promote Peace, Welfare and Safety in our environment and among young people.
3. To educate the youths on dangers of drug abuse and promote moral and ethical values on the society.
4. To ensure equitable development for both rural inhabitants and poor urban dwellers especially women and children.
5. To equip the youths with simple employable skills for them to be job creators rather than job seekers, so they can also lead responsible lives.
These and others were the aspirations of Positive Dynamix, Peace and Development Initiative (PD, PDI) which also gave me the opportunity to register a sister organization in the USA.
One critical addition to the list of what I read was given by a ‘young man’ in Abuja who is knocking on his 40th birthday. He said ma, we should include the drugs issue, I said why, and he responded by explaining to me how they had drugs planted all over their Secondary Schools like they were beautification flowers. The students became drug addicts from the very institution that should have protected them.
I love my people and my communities and it is time for us to show our hidden sincerity and help each other so we can return hope and dignity back to our societies. Only YOU/ME can make the difference!!
I want to use this opportunity to talk about a gentle man, I have never met him in person but I have taken my time to listen to his speeches and to feel the real human in him. That man happens to be the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu! You all recall some of my ‘journeys’ within the last months and some of you may be able to find those prints on the internet, I however assure you that His Excellency, Babajide Sanwo-Olu means well for not just the youths but for everyone! Like my teachers thought me, communication is key! We need to communicate with each other more and more!! That is the way we will get to know one another, that is how we can listen to each other and help solve our community issues with sincerity of purpose and actions. When you hear Sanwo-Olu, think, Good mind, willing and Ready to serve and that he seeks to always do better for Lagosians.
Today we will try to give some form of little support to existing business persons across the wards! Then we will have those that are interested in starting a small scale business to send a 2 pages proposal to your chairman and community leaders who will send them to me. We will create a board that will evaluate, interview and advise but TRUST me that we shall endeavor to be fair and do what we say we will, Allah willing! Remember that.
Kindly be patient as we listen to our Professor who will speak to the topic of today, Engaging FESTAC youths in Peace and Development.
Thank you so much for this opportunity!
Hon Khairat Animashaun-Ajiboye (Mrs).
CEO/Chairman

*Renewed Hope Ambassadors Step Into the Next Phase
Fresh from the successful APC 2026 National Convention, the Renewed Hope Ambassadors National, Zonal, and State leadership gathered in Abuja over the weekend, for its fourth strategic meeting, setting the tone for nationwide grassroots activation ahead of 2027.
Chaired by Governor Hope Uzodinma (Imo State) the Director General and National Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, alongside Deputy Director-General, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State, and Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State as Secretary, the session reinforced one clear direction: One Party. One Message. One Mobilization whilst also laying out a strategic roadmap for the activation of the network across all communities in Nigeria.
Backed by the strength of 31 APC-led states, the Renewed Hope Agenda is taking Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s message of progress and reform to every corner of Nigeria.
From bold economic restructuring to initiatives like NELFUND, the increase in the national minimum wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000, and strategic investments in critical sectors, including PNiCGI, the mission remains clear: helping Nigerians understand both the purpose and the progress of the Renewed Hope vision.
This is coordination at scale. This is grassroots engagement with purpose. This is the next phase of Renewed Hope with One Party, One Message, and One Mobilisation framework

Governor Bago Inaugurates APC Digital Media Sub-Committee Ahead of National Convention.
Governor Umaru Bago has inaugurated the Digital Media Sub-Committee for the forthcoming National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC), scheduled to hold on March 27 and 28, 2026 in Abuja.
Chairing the sub-committee, Governor Bago tasked members with the responsibility of effectively communicating the party’s manifesto to the public.
He emphasized the need to leverage social media platforms to highlight the achievements and ongoing efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting that communication gaps have posed challenges that must now be decisively addressed.
The Co-Chair of the sub-committee, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, echoed the Governor’s position, urging members to project the activities of both the party and the government to a broader audience.
He called for a deliberate and coordinated effort to showcase the party’s achievements and policy direction, stressing the importance of shaping a compelling and consistent narrative across all digital platforms.
Delivering a presentation to the committee, Otega Ogra, SSA to the President on New Media, who serves as Secretary of the sub-committee, outlined strategic focus areas to guide the team’s operations.

VP Shettima Set to Lead Delegation to Zamfara as Governor Dauda Lawal Formally Joins APC
The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has finalized plans to receive Vice President Kashim Shettima for the formal defection and reception of Governor Dauda Lawal into the ruling party, scheduled to take place on Tuesday.
State APC Chairman, Tukur Danfulani Maikatako, disclosed this during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held in Gusau, the state capital. He noted that the Vice President would be joined by the party’s national leadership to mark what he described as a landmark political realignment in the state.
Maikatako expressed the party’s excitement over Governor Lawal’s return, recalling that Zamfara had historically been an APC stronghold and that the Governor was previously a bona fide member of the party before his earlier exit.
“We all know that Zamfara has long been one of the APC’s stronghold states, where the defected Governor was once a bona fide member. Now that he has decided to return home, having been satisfied that the APC remains his second choice after the one he left for obvious reasons,” Maikatako stated.
The Chairman called on all party faithful across the 147 wards in the state’s 14 local government areas to turn out en masse to honour the Vice President’s visit. He emphasized that the event was strategically positioned to bolster the party’s popularity and strengthen its structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a strong appeal for unity, Maikatako urged members to set aside all factional tendencies, stressing that the APC remained one political family with shared goals, particularly the ambition to make Zamfara and Nigeria great again.
Echoing similar sentiments, a former state APC Chairman, Lawal M. Liman, appealed to members to cascade the message to their wards and local government areas. He reinforced the need for cohesion, noting that the party’s collective strength would be critical to achieving success in future elections.
All eyes are now on Gusau as the ruling party prepares for a high-profile political gathering expected to further consolidate its influence in Zamfara State.
