THE 65-YEAR-OLD HYPOCRITE: THE VISIONLESS PETER OBI'S SELF-DISQUALIFICATION
By Izuchukwu Adichie
Peter Obi in 2021: "Anyone above 60 is too old to govern a state. The intensity of the work demands a younger, more energetic leader."
Peter Obi in 2026: "Please give me the presidency at 66."
The man who disqualified others by age now begs Nigerians to forget his own words. If governing a state at 60 was "too intense," then the Nigerian presidency at 66 is a cruel joke. Obi should know that no one contesting for the presidency should be more than 50 years old because of the intensity of the work.
Obi himself set the standard. He argued that governance requires unmatched energy and mental agility. This was the central pillar of his 2021 campaign against Professor Soludo, while he was campaigning for his puppet, Valentine Ozigbo. If a state governorship at 60 was too demanding, what does Obi imagine the presidency requires? Does he believe commanding Africa's largest economy and managing 200 million people is less strenuous?
Socrates declared: "To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom." Obi clearly does not know himself. He disqualifies others but lacks the moral courage to apply the same standard to himself.
Obi must do the honorable thing: publicly acknowledge that his own argument disqualifies him, step aside in favor of a candidate not above 50, and apologize for his hypocrisy.
His eight years as Anambra governor brought decay: collapsed public health systems, deteriorating public schools, and photo ops of the state funds he shared out mercilessly. He graduated with a "pass" in Philosophy—hardly proof of capacity to lead Africa's largest economy. How can a man who struggled with critical thinking now claim to have solutions for Nigeria?
Peter Obi is too old by his own standards, too intellectually deficient by any measure, and too morally inconsistent to be trusted. He will once again finish in a distant third in 2027 if he even makes the ballot.
Nigerians deserve better than a hypocritical wanderer who switches parties as often as clothes and principles as often as the weather.
At 65, running for president is not an ambition. It is self-delusion.
"We have had significant portfolio investments into Nigeria over the last two years. We have received 10 billion dollars worth of portfolio inflows into Nigeria in the first six months of this year alone. Consequently, there is significant interest in the Nigerian markets." — Tilewa Adebajo, CEO, The CFG Advisory.
APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has officially flagged off the construction of a 700km highway today on behalf of President Tinubu.
The road will link Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe and Bauchi-Biu-Maiduguri.
⛔️⛔️BREAKING‼️:
⛔️Iranian state media says it has now "no choice but to obtain the atomic bomb" to remove "the military option for the occupation and partitioning of Iran" from the table, arguing Iran must "absolutely reach nuclear deterrence" before current negotiations can be conducted "from a correct position," per Fars.
⛔️Iran adds the acquisition is not only driven by negotiation leverage but also by Trump's two recent nuclear threats against Iran, including his April warning that "a whole civilization will die tonight" and his May threat of "one big glow coming out of Iran."
⛔️This is also among the most direct nuclear weapons advocacy published on Iranian state media to date.‼️
The allegation that the APC was behind the reported deregistration of the NDC is false.
This video explains the facts and provides the necessary clarification.
Ire oo.
"Peter Obi would have resigned as at the time they were having some of the most catastrophic security challenges in Anambra State. Why didn't he resign then? There are times where people just get up and say things in the name of opposition. You don't just get up and say things just because you feel like saying them." — Governor Abdullahi Sule
So within the APC the "PRESIDENCY" brought a petition to AMBUSH then DISQUALIFY Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR @officialABAT but "MEN MOUNT" for am during the APC presidential screening.

Unpacking and sharing the call by Mallama Hadiza Shehu Malumfashi of the Political Advantage Platform (PAP) - see attached video:
————
“…the value of a Nigerian life should never depend on geography.”
“….questions for the northern establishment, political leaders, elites, influencers, all of us….where is the voice of the north? Where is our outrage? Where is our collective anger? Where is our conscience? Where is the Vice President? Where are our governors? Where are our chiefs and emirs? Where are these senators and representatives?”
“Why do we mobilise so quickly for politics but yet so slowly for human lives?”
“Why do we issue stronger statements about power than about our murdered and abducted citizens?”
“Have we become so accustomed to insecurity that we no longer see the victims?”
“When people stop speaking up, leaders stop listening.”
“No Nigerian life is worth more than the other.”
“The terrorists are the ones attacking our communities, but our collective indifference is what is clearly destroying our humanity.”

Your comments are welcome….
THIS IS THE BIGGEST WIN 🇳🇬❤️
Even Al Jazeera is reporting it — Nigerian security forces record a major breakthrough, rescuing 360 abductees from Boko Haram captivity in Borno State.
A significant victory in the ongoing fight against terr0rism.
Islam is totally against Terrorism. They do not represent Islam, and they should be killed, or crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off on opposite sides or be exiled from the land.

“Where is the money for the subsidy going?” “Why is the government taking loan?” Watch this to improve your understanding. Don’t let anyone misinform you.
Seriake Dickson, the new reigning godfather in Nigeria’s politics for 2027: NDC's key strategic meetings, from primary decisions to decampment receptions, are now being held inside Seriake Dickson’s living room, raising concerns that the national party is functioning as his personal political empire.
As a trained and certified teacher of Islamic Studies, if I teach Hajj to my students and I have the opportunity to use an instructional material like this, I would definitely appreciate it and use it judiciously. These children are fortunate to have teachers who teach them practically in this manner. Such lessons become etched in their hearts and memories, and they are unlikely to ever forget them.
As for the sciences and other subjects, I am sure equally effective instructional materials are also being used. The school appears to be a proper 21st-century institution. That is good for the children. They are receiving an all-round education, enriched with moral guidance alongside professional and academic studies.
Great for them.

Arewa we are our own problem, if our sons can become bandits or Boko Haram and can control any area or village that means those bandits are the government in that village… It’s our sons that are kidnapping and killing us not Igbos or Yorubas.

Kudos to our military men for another successful rescue operation.
They went in search of kidnapped victims and brought them back safely without any casualties. Their courage, discipline, and commitment to protecting lives deserve recognition.
Nigeria is still battling insecurity, but our brave soldiers continue to put their lives on the line every day in the fight to keep citizens safe.
