BIRTHDAY FELICITATION TO AN ICON OF FEDERAL CHARACTER, EQUITY, AND NATIONAL INCLUSION

Victor Monday Olajide

On behalf of the National Executive Council, State Coordinators, and the entire membership of the APC Initiative for Good Governance (APC-IGG) and the Asiwaju Again – Renewed Hope Support Initiative 2027, I, Ambassador Musa Muhammed Tsoken, joyfully extend our warmest and most heartfelt felicitations to a distinguished son of Taraba State, an accomplished labour leader, a bridge-builder, and a dedicated public servant.

COMRADE BOBBOI BALA KAIGAMA  
(Tafidan Mambilla)  
National Commissioner, Federal Character Commission (FCC) – Representing Taraba State

Today we celebrate not merely the gift of another year, but the remarkable life of service, principled struggle, and unwavering commitment to equity, justice, fairness, and national cohesion that define the man and the mandate of the Federal Character Commission.

Born on 17 September 1962 in Kakara village, Sardauna Local Government Area on the Mambilla Plateau of Taraba State, Comrade Kaigama has traversed a distinguished trajectory of integrity and impact. A chartered town planner with a Bachelor of Science degree in Urban and Regional Planning from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, and a Master of Business Administration in Project Management Technology from the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, he combined professional excellence with deep grassroots advocacy.

His labour activism remains a landmark chapter in Nigeria’s industrial relations history. As two-term Chairman of the Taraba State branch of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), later National Vice President, and subsequently National President of both ASCSN and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) from 2013 to 2019, he stood resolutely for the rights, dignity, and welfare of Nigerian workers. Under his leadership, the TUC evolved into a more strategic and constructive force for national development while remaining a firm voice for equity and social justice.

In August 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, appointed him Federal Commissioner representing Taraba State on the Federal Character Commission—a recognition of his proven capacity, integrity, and deep understanding of the principles of fairness and inclusion. The Senate confirmed this appointment in November 2025. In this exalted national role, Comrade Kaigama continues to advance the constitutional mandate of the Commission: ensuring equitable distribution of public offices, opportunities, and socio-economic infrastructure across Nigeria’s diverse federating units.

A true son of Taraba and the Mambilla Plateau, he has consistently carried the aspirations of his people with dignity and distinction to the national stage. He remains a voice for the voiceless, a defender of the underrepresented, and a bridge-builder whose life’s work embodies the very ideals of federal character and national unity.

As you mark this new age, we join your family, the people of Taraba State, the labour movement, and well-wishers across the nation in praying that Almighty Allah (SWT) grant you sound health, profound wisdom, continued strength, long life, and greater grace to discharge your responsibilities with even greater distinction in the service of Taraba State and our beloved nation, Nigeria.

We in the APC Initiative for Good Governance and the Asiwaju Again – Renewed Hope Support Initiative 2027 are immensely proud of you. Your elevation and continued service inspire us all.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday, Your Excellency!  
May this new year of your life be filled with divine favour, renewed energy, and greater impact.

Signed:

Ambassador Musa Muhammed Tsoken, CWSA, FPPA, FCIPDM 
NCE Islamic Studies/Social Studies (FCE Yola); B.Sc. Social Studies Education (TSUJ); M.Sc. Human Security and Counter-Terrorism (TSUJ); Ph.D. Human Security and Counter-Terrorism (TSUJ) (In-view)  

National President, APC Initiative for Good Governance (APC-IGG)  
National Coordinator, Asiwaju Again – Renewed Hope Support Initiative 2027

NIGER DELTA YOUTH MOVEMENT (NDYM) ISSUES A THUNDERING CALL TO HONOURABLE CHURCHILL OYINKEDITON: THE TIME FOR TRANSFORMATIVE LEADERSHIP IN SOUTHERN IJAW CONSTITUENCY 1 IS NOW!

Image
By Comrade Amb victor M Olajide (JP) In a bold, unapologetic declaration rooted in the unyielding spirit of the Niger Delta struggle, the Niger Delta Youth Movement (NDYM) today issues a powerful and irresistible summons to the distinguished Honourable Churchill to immediately contest for the Bayelsa State House of Assembly seat in Southern Ijaw Constituency 1 during the forthcoming general elections. Honourable Churchill is not just a leader; he is the living embodiment of credible, people-centred governance. With a lifestyle forged in integrity, a passion for youth empowerment that has already lit fires of ambition across our communities, and an iron-clad commitment to delivering life-changing projects, he stands as the perfect vessel for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in the creeks and riverine territories of Southern Ijaw. His hands have touched the vulnerable, his vision has uplifted the aged, and his heart beats in rhythm with the aspirations of eve...

OPEN LETTER TO THE HONOURABLE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC ACCOUNTS

Image
TARAKIRIVOICE IS A BLUNDER, AGENT OF DISASTER Distinguished Honourable Members, I, General Ebiae (Rtd), writing in my capacity as a representative of **The Winds of Positive Thought for All Ex-Agitators (WPTEA)**, a duly registered and peace-loving body of former agitators committed to the sustainable development of the Niger Delta, hereby bring to your kind and urgent attention a matter of grave concern. It has come to our notice that a certain group operating under the name “Tarakirivioce Newspaper” has continued to inundate the Office of the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), High Chief Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro, Ph.D, as well as your distinguished Committee, with petitions and publications relating to alleged events of 2021, which occurred under previous administrations long before the current leadership assumed office. These actions, in our considered view, constitute deliberate and unwarranted distractions designed to divert the attention of the ...
