An associate of Ahmad Isah, popularly known as the “Ordinary President,” has debunked rumours circulating on social media suggesting that the renowned human rights advocate has been arrested and taken to prison.
The associate who has worked closely with Isah for over 16 years, described the reports as “false, misleading, and completely unfounded.”
According to the associate, Ahmad Isah is alive, well, and taking a well-deserved rest after nearly two decades of continuous public service to vulnerable Nigerians.
“For 16 years, Ahmad Isah has dedicated his life tirelessly to fighting for the oppressed, the marginalized, and the voiceless. Throughout this period, he has rarely taken a break, except during moments of personal grief or following incidents of violence,” the associate said.
He said that contrary to the rumors of arrest or imprisonment, Isah made a deliberate decision to temporarily step away from public life to rest and recuperate.
“At 4 a.m. while others slept, he was already awake, preparing to champion the cause of justice. From early morning broadcasts to late-night interventions, his commitment has been unwavering. Even the strongest warriors must take time to heal and renew their strength,” the associate added.
The public was urged to disregard the rumors and instead offer prayers and support to the “Ordinary President” during his period of rest.
“Ahmad Isah is not missing. He is not broken. He is not defeated. He is only resting, so that when he returns, he will be even stronger in the fight against injustice,” the statement concluded.
The associate also called on media organizations and the public to verify information before spreading it, especially concerning individuals who have dedicated their lives to public service.
Ahmad Isah is widely known for his human rights advocacy through the popular radio and television program Brekete Family, which provides a platform for ordinary citizens seeking justice.
