“To this end, court proceedings bordering on fraud and obtaining under false pretence has been served today at the instance of TMN on the Labour Party and the party’s felony confederates.”
Raises Alarm Over Insecurity
Beyond politics, Agada devoted a significant part of his address to the worsening insecurity situation in parts of the country.
He expressed concern over the continued captivity of schoolchildren, teachers and other citizens reportedly abducted by terrorists and bandits.
“It is saddening that since May 15, 2026, 46 Nigerians involving tender school children and their teachers, including a 19-month-old baby, little Christiana Akanbi, have been kidnapped by terrorists,” he lamented.
According to him, many of the victims continue to endure harsh conditions in captivity while their families await their return.
“It is sickening that since then to date these innocent Nigerians have been sleeping in the jungle bush under the rains at night and hoping against hope of rescue.”
To draw national attention to their plight, he announced that The Movement Nigeria would hold a candlelight vigil in Oyo State on June 10.
The event, he said, would serve as a platform for citizens to demand stronger efforts toward the rescue of abducted persons not only in Oyo State but also in Niger, Kwara, Borno and other affected parts of the country.
Call for National Unity
Concluding his address, Agada called for greater collaboration among political parties, labour organizations, civil society groups and ordinary Nigerians in addressing the country’s challenges.
He thanked the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress, the Young Progressives Party and other stakeholders for supporting the humanitarian initiative on behalf of kidnapped Nigerians.
With his formal declaration now made and his campaign machinery officially unveiled, Agada has become one of the earliest major contenders to publicly signal his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election, setting the stage for what promises to be an intense political contest in the years ahead.
