Fellow Nigerians,

 

In the journey of life, challenges are inevitable. We are often faced with moments that test our faith, our strength, and our resolve. 

 

But it is in these very moments that we discover who we truly are—not in our comfort, but in our struggles. It is with this understanding that I reach out to you today with a simple yet powerful message: Don’t Give Up Now.

 

Greatness is not born out of perfection; it is forged in perseverance. 

 

The most successful individuals in history were not those who never stumbled, but those who refused to remain on the ground when they fell. They pressed on. They endured. They rose again. And so can you.

 

As a public servant and a proud son of our great nation, I have witnessed the unyielding spirit of Nigerians. 

 

From the woman who sells at the market to feed her family, to the youth striving to create opportunities in the face of economic hardship, to the physically challenged who pursue excellence despite limitations—you are all warriors in your own right. Your resilience is the soul of Nigeria.

 

The image of a determined athlete with a prosthetic leg, running with purpose, is not just a metaphor—it is a reflection of our collective reality. 

 

Life may have taken something from you, but it can never take away your will unless you allow it. 

 

That will—the decision to keep moving forward—is what separates dreams that fade from dreams that become reality.

 

Let us remember: Our nation needs your strength. Our communities need your voice. 

 

Your family needs your hope. Whatever you are going through—whether personal, financial, physical, or emotional—do not give in to despair. 

 

Do not let temporary setbacks become permanent defeats. Let your perseverance be louder than your pain.

 

As a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and as someone deeply committed to the development of our people, I assure you that your efforts are not in vain. We are building a society where opportunities are not a privilege of the few, but a right of the many. Your contributions—no matter how small they may seem—matter.

 

So, I urge you today: Stand tall. Push harder. Keep going. Your story is not over. Your best days are still ahead. You are stronger than your struggles, and your breakthrough may be just one step beyond your current challenge.

 

Don’t Give Up Now.

 

God bless you,

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Monday can be better 

 

It all depends on your perspective 

 

#HAPPYNEW WEEK

 

 

I am glad when it’s Sunday. It’s time to let go, relax, see through the eyes of my maker and hear from him.

 

At that point, I have no worries, pain or stress of tomorrow. The only person I see is God and he owns by path and tomorrow. 

 

Brethren, it’s time to go to church. Let’s go and praise our God for what He has done and tell Him our needs. He is faithful and Just to forgive our past and bless us.

 

To us Fathers, it’s our day. May God keep us and help us to keep doing our duties. 

 

I wish you a splendid blissful Sunday

 

Happy Father’s Day!

 

JAF CARES ALWAYS🙏🤝❤️

 

 

Beloved sons and daughters of Irele and Okitipupa,

In the eternal rhythm of life, there lies wisdom in knowing when to pause. Just as the earth rotates in divine timing, so must we allow ourselves the grace to rest, to reflect, and to realign.

 

This weekend, I urge youstep back, breathe deep, and let your soul inhale peace.

Even destiny, in its grand urgency, pauses to gather strength.

So shall you.

 

May this sacred interlude renew your energy, sharpen your vision, and steady your spirit for the greatness ahead.

 

From my heart to yours

breathe, rest, and rise again.

JAF

🇨🇦EID-EL-KABIR: JAF FELICITATES MUSLIMS, SEEK PEACE, UNITY AND PRAYERS FOR PROGESS🇳🇬

 

As Muslims celebrate another great moment of Eid-al-Adha, JAF extends heartfelt congratulations to all Muslim faithfuls across Ondo State and most importantly to Muslims from Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency.

 

In his goodwill message to the good people of his Constituency, he urged Muslims to continue to pray for transformative steady progress that will cut across religious line and a concrete unity that will ensure peace and progress without segregation.

 

“We need prayers, peace and unity to progress. We need to accommodate one another in love to achieve greater opportunities. We need to be our brothers keepers always. It’s a time to show love to everyone and be sacrificial. I wish we can think of others in all we do and touch lives as we live daily.”

 

He wish Muslims Brothers and Sisters a great and wonderful celebration. He urged them to forgive when offences arise and to pursue peace wherever they live and seek the progress of the land as the period teaches us the essence of sacrifice, obedience, love and total submission to the will of Almighty Allah.

 

“Let the celebration continue. May Allah accept all our prayers and may we be alive to celebrate more and more Eid-el-Kabir”

 

Happy Eid-el-Kabir!
