Thought I’d share a little poetry for your timeline.

Only a few people in the past few years can lay claim to shaping the media narrative in Nigeria’s South East. Gaius is one of them.

Yesterday we had a great time catching up and talking about our separate journeys and ideas about telling our own stories.

Ya kpọtụba. 💪🏾

A huge thank you to the Pastor and leadership of RCCG Selly Oak Birmingham, for inviting me to speak about my journey in politics in the UK.

We cannot, and must not afford to be ignorant about our place in politics.

Almost 6 hours later, and a budget has been passed for Derby City Council. It was not the budget we proposed, but it’s a balanced budget nonetheless.

I had the honour of catching up with Gov @alexottiofr & Dep. Gov Ikechukwu Emetu. We discussed their vision for Abia’s development, future ambitions, and my election as a councillor in Derby.

Abia is in very safe hands.

The one reason I’ve never intentionally rewatched Sound of Music is the character of Rolf Gruber.

I found it disturbing how quickly someone close to you would turn on you in service of the overlord. This is what I see in Trump’s America today. It is heartbreaking. And scary.

It was great to catch up with Mrs Caley, the Headteacher of Murray Park Community School.

I look forward to working with you and the team for the benefit of the children and families in the Mackworth and New Zealand ward that the school serves.

From 1st December, our PCSOs will also be empowered to also seize these illegal road vehicles.

We’re creating a Derby people will continue to be proud of.

Big Up to everyone who has made this happen - our Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts and her team, Derbyshire Constabulary, our Derby City Centre Police SNT team, Derby City Council’s communities team, and the council cabinet.

Great news today as 30 illegal e-scooters and motorised bikes were seized in the city centre.

And let’s not forget our partners. From our academic institutions to our businesses, and from community groups to faith leaders, we must 'Big Up' the institutions that make Derby what it is.

And I wanted to 'Big Up' Derby City. This resilient city has experienced its share of ups and downs but has kept on going. It is a city of industry, creativity, community, and pride. It is a city that deserves our support and commitment. Whenever we have the chance, we must 'big it up'.

These individuals perform an almost thankless job daily, yet sometimes political mischief means we only discuss them when we want to draw attention to things that don't go according to plan.

So I wanted to 'big them up' for a change.

I also spoke about how we are addressing these challenges and my hope of returning to update the full council on our progress in the future.

The main focus of my statement, however, was not to talk about my portfolio but to highlight the incredible people who do the work that keeps our city moving.

At the last full council meeting of Derby City Council for the year, I gave my first Cabinet Member statement for my portfolio: Streetpride, Public Safety & Leisure. I spoke about our achievements in what has undoubtedly been a challenging year and environment.

Learning is constant. I’m glad to be at the Association for Public Service Excellence annual seminar with Sam Dennis, Derby City Council’s outstanding Strategic Director of Place.

We’ll be talking about A New Era for Frontline Services.
