In Nigeria today, the political elite will go to great lengths to frustrate and suppress young people who dare to rise — especially those bold enough to present themselves as credible alternatives to the recycled, failed leadership the country has endured for decades.
Recently, Youth President Amb Aliyu Bin Abbas had his X (formerly Twitter) account reported and targeted — a move he describes as a clear attempt to silence his voice and diminish the growing influence of a new generation determined to speak truth to power.
“But while they may succeed in disrupting platforms, they will never succeed in disrupting purpose,” he declared.
“You may block my access to digital spaces, but you can never block my direct relationship with the God I serve — Allahu Nūr as-Samāwāti wal-Arḍ (Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth). I have no power or strength of my own, but I stand firm, leaning wholly on the power and might of Almighty God,” Abbas said.
He emphasized that his journey is not fueled by wealth, privilege, or political backing, but by divine purpose, conviction, and an unshakable belief in a better Nigeria.
“History has shown time and again: truth suppressed today will rise louder tomorrow. So let them block, report, and conspire — but know this: you cannot stop what God has ordained,” he added.
