There should be a nationwide lockdown until the INEC chairman and every director steps down.
Also an independent audit must be conducted to verify who and who have access to INECโs backend.

Thirty-two months after being incharge and instead of living by his powerful words, he now dumps National Grid that has been performing abysmally under his watch.
Those were the powerful words then that inspired hope among Nigerians who longed for light in their homes, stability for their businesses, and growth for their nation. Yet, while Nigerians are still grappling with that unfulfilled, categorical electoral promise - and without clear communication on the obstacles, if any, we read of provision in 2025 budget about the โฆ10 billion for solar power at Aso Rock, and in 2026 budget another humongous amount for upgrade and maintenance and now we are being scarcitically told that Presidential Villa has planned to be disconnected from the national grid to rely entirely on solar.
It is a gross neglect and deeply worrisome when the seat of power abandons the national grid. One would expect government institutions to lead efforts to strengthen and expand the grid so that other establishments, and ultimately, citizens can benefit. If those in authority disconnect themselves from the system, who then will connect the ordinary Nigerian to reliable power?
Promoting renewable energy, as solar systems do, is commendable and necessary for the future. However, this situation reflects a deeper concern: governance lacking compassion and commitment to the governed. You cannot tell the people to fast while feasting yourself, securing yourself while Nigerians remain unsecured.
Nigerians do not expect 100% fulfilment of promises, but they do expect 100% effort, accompanied by measurable improvements and clear explanations when gaps exist. Leadership must serve the people, not isolate itself from their daily struggles. -PO
My concern with the ladyโs video was about the possibility of ingrained and unconscious offensiveness, which, if widespread, would be problematic for our society.
I do not, cannot and will not respond to every act of direct lunacy here, and there is a lot of it. I make no apologies for that.
I am more worried about unconscious and organic societal patterns that demonise particular demographies. Those are the ones that lead to genocides.
If you reflect on what I am saying, I would be surprised if you disagree.
As a man,
I can cook up to 20 meals.
I do my own laundry, cleaning, and dishes. I even handle my market runs.
Yet you expect me to settle for a woman who canโt do something as basic as cooking?
โdonโt throw a good woman away because she canโt cookโ
You people are crazy.
What they want is a media trial.
A media witch-hunt and jungle trial of an allegation that was fully investigated and adjudicated on by a qualified competent panel in the uk where nobody can buy the judge, lawyers or police.
I will only beg you.
Pls download this document.
Kindly read it and make up your mind for yourselves. It will be clear to you who is telling the truth, who is lying and if there is any justice, who should be in jail.
This is the full detailed record of the whole 3years investigation that was done on me and what the findings were.
I donโt have the political power for this fight- they are more powerful. I donโt have the media power for this fight- they are using strong media houses to destroy me.
I only have my voice, my innocence, my conscience and my God. I can only beg you please read this document, download it, kindly share it and tell everyone else. https://t.co/3tNPyHwyis
This document is not a hatchet job from a compromised media house. This is not some narrative from one side. This is the report written by a panel that had 3 white people as the judges over me a black man accused of a crime of rape in which I was totally exonerated by them.
Because this story is everywhere now,
And because there are powerful people in media and politics in Nigeria who are trying to completely destroy my life and my reputation;
I can only beg you all to please share this post and make this tweet go viral so that everybody gets a fair chance to actually see the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Please retweet this- I have nothing else to defend my name.

There should be simplicity in post-exam services like this. There's nothing bad if these students can carry out services at the comfort of their rooms.
JAMB: A Plea for Compassion.
While passing through Amawbia, in Anambra State recently, I noticed a large crowd of students gathered outside the JAMB office - some even perched precariously on the fence. The scene was striking and may likely be the same in some other states across the country. Troubled by what I saw, I stopped to speak with a few of the students. They explained that they were there to make changes to their course or institution choices. I found this surprising, as such services are ordinarily processed at JAMB-designated CBT centres. When I inquired why they werenโt using those centres, their response was disheartening: most of the CBT centres had stopped offering the service, leaving them with few or no alternatives.
Further investigation revealed that out of 28 JAMB-approved centres ( CBTs)in Anambra State, 17 have been blacklisted. Sadly, many of the affected centres were not even informed of the specific reasons behind this action. The explanation given was the vague phrase: โunder investigation.โ
The consequences of this are far-reaching. Students are now forced to travel long distances - sometimes from remote parts of the state - just to access basic services at the JAMB state office. From my interaction with the students, I learnt that many have made up to five unsuccessful trips before being attended to. What is more troubling is the sharp increase in the cost of processing these changes: a service that should ordinarily cost around โฆ1,500 at accredited centres now costs up to โฆ15,000 at the JAMB office - often padded by unofficial fees.
These young Nigeriansโalready grappling with immense pressureโnow face even greater financial, physical, and emotional strain. The challenges they confront have prevented many from transferring to their preferred institutions, placing their academic futures at serious risk. To make matters worse, several universities have already begun their post-UTME screening, leaving these students further disadvantaged and uncertain about their prospects.
This is happening at a time when the country is grappling with severe economic hardship, rising insecurity, and high youth unemployment. That students and their parents must suffer so needlessly is both unjust and avoidable.
While JAMB may have valid reasons for blacklisting some centres, one must ask: could a more humane and transparent approach not have been adopted? Is it not possible to allow these centres to continue offering essential services under close monitoring, pending the outcome of investigations?
Education remains the hope of our nation. We must not allow bureaucratic bottlenecks and opacity to derail the dreams of our young people. I appeal to JAMB to reconsider its position and embrace a more compassionate and efficient response that makes the welfare of the students a priority. -PO
@jon_d_doe@officialEFCC I completely agree with you on this.
A review of the civic education syllabus can also take care of this. Making it a compulsory subject along side English and Mathematics.
My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is Sacrosanct
One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship.
It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.
I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent.
Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldnโt be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.
I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation.
In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word.
My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity.
If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.
I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal.
We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances.
Forty-eight months is enough for any leader who is focused and prepared to make a meaningful difference. In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to:
sanitise our governance system;
tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation;
catalyse small businesses as engines of growth ; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve.
Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors.
These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
