“The Dawn of a New Saga”: DNKI Chairman Momoh Rallies Members on Unity and Electoral Integrity at 2026 Welcome Back Party in Abuja
Cyril Ogar
The Chairman of De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI), Abuja Chapter, Comrade Solomon Momoh, has charged members to embrace renewed unity, deeper humanitarian service, and unwavering commitment to democratic values as the chapter ushered in 2026 with its Welcome Back Party themed “The Dawn of a New Saga.”
Addressing distinguished members, elders, invited guests, and families at the February 14 gathering, in Abuja, the Chairman described the event as more than a ceremonial celebration, calling it a symbolic moment of renewal, resilience, and recommitment to the ideals that define the organisation.
According to him, the new year marks the beginning of a fresh chapter in DNKI’s collective journey — one rooted in brotherhood, legacy, loyalty, and love.
“This gathering is not just to mark another calendar year,” Momoh said. “It represents the rebirth of our shared commitment to unity and service. Through challenges and triumphs, DNKI Abuja Chapter has remained a symbol of solidarity and humanitarian service.”
He commended members who attended with their families, noting that their presence reflects the strength and enduring spirit of the chapter.
Comrade Momoh urged members to keep “all hands on deck” in extending support to vulnerable families and communities, especially in challenging times.
Reaffirming DNKI’s humanitarian mandate, the Chairman stressed that service to humanity must remain the chapter’s watchword, while compassion continues to guide its actions in 2026.
Momoh further called on members to align their humanitarian efforts with national development objectives, particularly in support of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.
He emphasized that while government bears primary responsibility for development, civic organisations like DNKI play a critical complementary role in reducing hardship and strengthening hope at the grassroots level.
On national democratic issues, the Chairman used the platform to express concern over aspects of the proposed Electoral Amendment Bill.
Comrade Momoh appealed to lawmakers to carefully review any clauses that may undermine the collective will of voters or create potential loopholes for electoral manipulation.
“Nigeria’s democracy thrives on the confidence of its people,” he stated.
“The elected cannot and must not be greater than the will of the electorate. Any action that suggests votes may not count risks eroding public trust in our electoral process.”
As the country prepares for the 2027 general elections, Momoh urged lawmakers to act with patriotism and fairness to safeguard credible elections.
He commended members of the House of Representatives for supporting provisions that mandate real-time electronic transmission of election results, describing such measures as critical to transparency, accountability, and public confidence.
Concluding his address, the Chairman reminded members that the dawn of a new saga demands renewed responsibility. He called on the chapter to build a stronger organisation, foster a stronger community, and contribute to a stronger Nigeria.
The evening ended on a celebratory note as members raised a toast to survival in difficult times, unbreakable unity, and a future defined by resilience and hope.

Nigeria at 66: ‘We Must Not Lose Faith in Nigeria’ — FCC Boss Omidiran
Joel Ajayi
The Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Honorable Hulayat Motunrayo Omidiran, has called on Nigerians to use the occasion of the nation’s 66th Independence Anniversary to renew their faith in Nigeria, strengthen national unity and recommit themselves to building a more inclusive and prosperous country.
In her 66th Independence Day message, Hon. Omidiran described October 1 as more than a celebration of freedom, saying the anniversary provides an opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on the country’s journey, acknowledge its progress and challenges, and renew the collective determination to build a nation where every citizen has a sense of belonging.
According to the FCC Executive Chairman, the Federal Character Principle remains particularly important to the quest for national cohesion because equitable representation promotes a sense of ownership and confidence in the Nigerian project.
“Nigeria is a nation of great diversity and
enormous potential. Our responsibility is to ensure that this diversity becomes a bridge that connects us rather than a barrier that separates us. Every Nigerian deserves to feel that he or she belongs to this country and has a role to play in its development,” Omidiran said.
The FCC boss called on government institutions at all levels to remain committed to fairness, equity, accountability and inclusive governance, while urging citizens to support efforts aimed at strengthening national institutions and promoting peaceful coexistence.
“We must not lose faith in Nigeria. The challenges before us are real, but so are the opportunities and the enormous human and natural resources available to us. Every citizen has a responsibility to contribute his or her own quota to building the Nigeria we desire,” she stated.
The FCC Executive Chairman also urged young Nigerians to remain committed to acquiring knowledge and skills, entrepreneurship, innovation, sports and other productive ventures, describing the youth as critical stakeholders in the country’s future.
“As we celebrate 66 years of independence, let us remember that the Nigeria we want cannot be built by government alone. It requires the commitment of all of us – leaders and citizens, young and old, from every part of the federation. Together, we can build a Nigeria where justice, fairness, opportunity and peace are available to all,” she said.
Omidiran reaffirmed the FCC’s commitment to the effective discharge of its constitutional mandate and to supporting efforts that promote equitable representation and inclusive national development across the federation.
The former lawmaker wished Nigerians at home and abroad a peaceful and memorable 66th Independence Anniversary, praying for continued peace, stability, prosperity and progress for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Our differences should never be greater than our common identity as Nigerians. Let us continue to choose unity over division, service over self-interest and hope over despair. The Nigeria of our dreams is possible if we all play our part,” Omidiran said.
“On behalf of the Federal Character Commission, I congratulate all Nigerians on this 66th Independence Anniversary. May this occasion renew our patriotism, strengthen our unity and inspire us to work together for a stronger, more equitable and prosperous Nigeria. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” she added.
