1. Success does not have a story based on rituals but steady, constant and evolutionary inventions
2. The ability to desire is also most likely the same ability to acquire. Never play games but when you have to, make your own rules.

Nigerians, GATHER HERE!
I have curated the now deleted powerful tweets of @DOlusegun, Tinubu’s Aide on Social Media, for your viewing pleasure. Screenshot & blast it on WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, & Instagram. These are straight from the Villa.
Yesterday, 8th September, following the unfortunate incident in Benue State, where our delegation was prevented from proceeding to Yelwata to visit displaced Nigerians and families affected by the recent attacks, I proceeded to Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, where I visited an IDP camp housing over 500 displaced persons.
The situation in Mangu is deeply disturbing. Over 45,000 people have reportedly been displaced, while more than 20 communities have been sacked by terrorists. These are Nigerians who want nothing more than to return to their ancestral homes, rebuild their communities, cultivate their farms, and live their lives in peace and dignity.
As I have always maintained, as long as there is one displaced Nigerian, all Nigerians are displaced.
I therefore urge the government to do more to secure these beleaguered communities and restore the confidence of our people. The right to life, safety, dignity and livelihood must be protected for every Nigerian, irrespective of where they live, their ethnicity, religion or political affiliation.
Our displaced citizens must not become forgotten Nigerians. They are citizens of our country whose homes, livelihoods and futures have been disrupted. Government must create the conditions for their safe and dignified return, secure their communities and support them to rebuild their lives.
I concluded my visit by offering my modest support to the displaced families as a gesture of solidarity, compassion and shared humanity.
The New Nigeria we seek must be a country where every citizen can live, work, farm, raise a family and pursue their dreams in peace and security.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Power is not served a la carte. To usher in the New Nigeria, you must first grab power.
Your gentleman politics should end now. You have the power to make them tremble & pee in their pants; use it! The road ahead is rough.
THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO ENTERTAIN FEAR!
The events of today have shown that removing Tinubu from power solves our problems 70%.
We have seen what happened in Benue State today. How a so-called Rev. Fr. (the governor) used his thugs to stop Peter Obi from entry.
It’s good that this is happening now so everyone will know what we’re up against.
The APC are afraid of what Obi represents; an egalitarian society, where equality, equity, & justice rule. A Nigeria where the children of nobodies will become somebodies without knowing anybody. They are scared of that!
Hunger, lack of food, is a means of control. The APC understands the power of chains, they want you in it & in check, hungry & beggarly; on your knees defeated. They want you to constantly depend on handouts.
They are scared of the man who came third.
Peter Obi is the reason Nigeria is relatively peaceful today. He has the capacity to shut down the country, but he won’t do that. His love for you trumps his ambition. He doesn’t want any harm to come your way. It is obvious the APC are the sponsors of the terrorism going on. They pull all the levers of power.
It is so because that is the power you gave to them. Their authority is what you say it is.
They fear unity, they will challenge any attempt to unite Nigerians. What Peter Obi represents is dangerous, it has the capacity to end impunity & criminality for good. They see in him, the capacity to galvanize Nigerians toward nation-building. One nation, under God, moving with a shared purpose. The APC cannot have that!
They would rather see the country burn to rule over its ashes. One candidate is Awol, hidden away in an undisclosed location, no one knows where he is. Meanwhile, Nigeria's official presidential jet is parked somewhere in Europe, accumulating debt on your behalf. In contrast, another candidate is traveling across Nigeria, doing his best to help citizens get started.
Yet, despite his efforts, he faces constant attacks from the government in power.
The government is truly unwise. The more you persecute Peter, the more Nigerians will rally to his cause. History is replete with examples.
In a place where anarchy rules, the innocent is the one receiving the most abuse. In a place where peace reigns, only the guilty is afraid.
They fear the candidate who supposedly came third, & now something has to give. We must activate every directorate of the OK Movement.
People must organize a welcoming party on the ground in every state, ready to welcome Peter Obi & mobilize for his protection. We have many powers we haven't even used. Fear is the enemy; they rule through fear. When people fear you, they will come to respect you.
This is not the time to cower; our mothers gave birth to no cowards. Once we lose our sense of fear, we are free. My People, there is a battle ahead. Ready yourselves, BE PREPARED! 💪
Protesters???
The SA on youth to the governor was with the thugs. The security personnel didn’t even flinch. They attacked our convoy with harmful weapons and you dare call them protesters????? My equipment was destroyed in the process of trying to get away from them. What were they protesting for? Is Peter Obi one of the bandits that attacked over 200 plus of their people the other day? Don’t piss me off!!!
How Hired Thugs Obstructed My Visit to Benue State
Yesterday, I attended the opening of the national campaign office of an opposition presidential candidate, Governor Seyi Makinde in Abuja. My presence was intended to demonstrate that politics can and should be conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect and civility. As Governor of Anambra State, I made it a point during electioneering to welcome visiting opposition members personally, provided they acted within the ambits of the law.
Guided by that same commitment to decency over partisanship, I travelled to Benue this morning, arriving at approximately 9:00 a.m. on a purely humanitarian mission: to visit the grieving families affected by the horrific killings in Yelwata, where over 270 people were massacred.
Regrettably, our convoy was prevented from proceeding to the community by thugs chanting, “Peter Obi, go back.” It was deeply distressing to witness such hostility. I came to Benue not for partisan politics, but to mourn with our people, to listen to families who have lost loved ones, and to offer comfort at a moment of unimaginable sorrow. That a mission intended purely to show solidarity, compassion, and support could be obstructed in this manner is deeply alarming.
At a time when our nation should be united in grief and resolute in preventing further bloodshed, we must reject any action capable of deepening our divisions. The people of Benue - and all Nigerians - deserve to sleep without fear. They deserve to travel without fear. They deserve to cultivate their land without fear. Above all, they deserve a country where the state places the protection of human life far above political expediency.
Although we were unable to reach the community today, our thoughts and prayers remain steadfastly with the victims, their families, and the entire Yelwata community. We shall continue to work until the primary responsibility of government - the safeguarding of every Nigerian life - is restored. Until then, we cannot truly say we have built the nation our people deserve.

The NDC Presidential Candidate, H.E. Peter Obi, today attended the official opening ceremony of the campaign office of the APM Presidential Candidate, H.E. Seyi Makinde, in Abuja.
Mr. Peter Obi joins the Governor of Oyo State and candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in the forthcoming presidential election, His Excellency Seyi Makinde, as he flags off his presidential campaign today.
He harped on the need for unity and love, particularly given the contentious nature of politics.
MY ENGAGEMENTS ACROSS THREE STATES-KOGI, BENUE, AND ENUGU
After my engagements in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Friday, 4th September, and yesterday, 5th September, I travelled to Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State. There, alongside our Kogi East Senatorial Candidate, High Chief Peter Ameh, I met with stakeholders and our party faithful.
I reaffirmed our commitment to addressing the major challenges facing our people, especially insecurity, healthcare, education, employment, and poverty alleviation. I also assured our large base of supporters that these issues would remain central to our efforts.
We urged our supporters to remain dedicated to the democratic process, turn out in large numbers to vote, and, above all, safeguard and defend their votes from the polling unit through the final declaration of results.
I also made brief visits to Otukpa in Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State and Obollo Afor in Enugu State. During these stops, we continued engaging with our people, including traders operating along these routes. I heard their concerns and assured them that, under my leadership, they would have a government that recognises their difficulties, prioritises their welfare, and provides an environment in which their businesses can grow.
Across all these engagements, the concerns expressed by our people remain essentially the same. They seek security in their communities, meaningful employment opportunities for our youths, access to properly functioning hospitals and schools for their children, and the means and resources to lead decent, dignified lives.
These are not excessive demands. They represent the basic expectations citizens hold of a government dedicated to their welfare.
Following these engagements, I travelled to Okpo, Olamaboro LGA, Kogi State, where I participated in the 65th birthday celebration of a highly respected servant of God, Evangelist Sunday Oguche. I also had the privilege of engaging with guests at the event and members of the church.
Evangelist Oguche is not merely a preacher of the Gospel; he is also a dedicated community builder who has committed himself to serving God and making a positive difference in the lives of his people.
I extend my heartfelt prayers and very best wishes to him as he marks this significant milestone. May God continue to strengthen him, grant him sound health, and bless him with many more productive years in His service.
I ended the day with a courtesy visit to His Royal Majesty, Igwe Willy Ezugwu, Eze Ka Eze I of Ideke Land, and Eze Ogbozalla III of Opi Kingdom, Nsukka, Enugu State.
His Royal Majesty is a true Nigerian with a profound belief in the future of our country. He graciously offered prayers and bestowed his royal blessings upon me. I am profoundly thankful for his fatherly counsel, encouragement, and prayers.
As we move forward on this journey, our message remains unequivocal: Nigeria can succeed, and government can be made to serve its people.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
The urgent need for Nigeria’s rebirth to reclaim her lost glory as the Giant of Africa and restore her rightful place in the comity of nations is a burden that has robbed patriotic Nigerians of sleep.
We have, therefore, resolved to know no rest until this burden comes to fruition in the triumph and leadership of His Excellency, Peter Gregory Obi, and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, whom we believe God has chosen for this task, through the vehicle of the NDC, ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
For us, the people of Rivers State, this burden has, over time, metamorphosed into excruciating pain. We are the Treasure Base of the Nation, yet we remain among the most despised and neglected under the present administration. Our collective wealth is plundered by a few, while the overwhelming majority of our people continue to bear the consequences.
For this reason, we are compelled to be at the forefront of this mission as we join hands to:
PURSUE, OVERTAKE AND RECOVER ALL.
Yesterday, by the special grace of God, the NDC in Rivers State became the first to host our Party’s Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, His Excellency Peter Gregory Obi and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the incoming President and Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to a Town Hall Meeting with the people of Rivers State.
It was an engaging and historic interaction, featuring a robust question-and-answer session in which critical issues confronting our people and nation were discussed. It was an opportunity to articulate the pathways through which we can emerge from this wilderness of despondency, neglect and plunderous setbacks when they assume leadership of our great nation in 2027.
No doubt, when hunger comes, even the blind will run, and the deaf will hear the cries of their stomachs. Sadly, this has become the painful reality of Nigeria today.
It was this reality that brought out a multitude of Rivers people, irrespective of political affiliation or divide, to receive those they believe represent a new possibility for our nation, the possibility of leaders with the vision, capacity and courage to confront Nigeria’s seemingly perpetual challenges.
Three things stood out clearly:
We must get the politics right.
We must get governance right.
And we must get the economics right.
We must build an economy strong enough to lift Nigerians out of the poverty that is destroying the fabric of our society and diminishing the hopes of our people.
As the Leader and Governorship Candidate of the Party in Rivers State, I am deeply grateful to Almighty God for the success of this historic Town Hall Meeting.
I sincerely appreciate our Presidential Candidate, His Excellency Peter Gregory Obi, and our Vice Presidential Candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, for giving us the honour and opportunity to be the first State to host them in this important engagement with the people.
I also appreciate every Rivers citizen who came out, irrespective of political affiliation, to participate in this defining moment. Your presence, your questions, your concerns and your hope for a better Nigeria are a powerful reminder of the responsibility before us.
The journey has begun.
The burden remains.
The mission is clear.
To Pursue.
To Overtake.
And to Recover All.
May God grant us the wisdom, courage and strength to see this mission through.
To God alone be all the glory.

Sooo..
It seems there’s a new attention and validation seeking method some people in the movement have now learned…
Throw a public tantrum…and draw negative and unwanted attention to the movement and PO…..for any number of flimsy reasons…
Everybody starts to react…
Phase 2: your clique starts to shout “PO should reach out to him !!! Everybody is important….etc etc”
Phase 3: Because….optics matter and because PO is who he is, he either reaches out actually…or some of the lieutenants do….
Phase 4: validation affirmed. Cue apology and all that sweet stuff…
It started with one person…it has become a pattern…
But it has to stop.
The next person who does that nonsense expecting the same thing to play out the same way will be in for a pleasant surprise.
Control your emotions and stop being a nuisance!!!
@Drmopaul and @ziter001 we appreciate what you do behind the scenes but let’s not inadvertently enable and encourage bad behaviour please.
Adults should conduct themselves accordingly. It is also part of the ethos of movement.

Peter Obi, in the company of the NDC National Chairman and other party executives, arrives in Port Harcourt, where he was warmly received by the NDC Governorship Candidate for Rivers State, Dumulu Briggs.
As the campaigns begin, the presidential candidate of the NDC, H.E. Peter Obi, and the vice presidential candidate, Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, met with some of the NDC’s gubernatorial, senatorial and other candidates today at the Obidient Movement Headquarters.
A President and the Endless Question of His Past
As a citizen of no other country, who has never sought foreign citizenship even when doing so became fashionable, my loyalty to Nigeria and my faith in her destiny remain unshaken.
Yesterday, 30th of August, being Sunday, I fervently prayed for our nation and for those entrusted with the solemn responsibility of leadership. I found myself deeply saddened by the direction in which our country is heading.
It is profoundly embarrassing that we have reached a point where a sitting President is asking a foreign court to withhold records concerning his past, particularly records relating to matters of legitimate public interest.
Leadership, in my humble view, demands the courage and humility to confront one’s history — to acknowledge mistakes, provide candid explanations where questions arise, and, where necessary, apologise and seek forgiveness. True authority is strengthened, not diminished, when a leader accepts responsibility rather than seeks to shield uncomfortable aspects of the past from legitimate scrutiny.
This becomes particularly important when questions concern educational credentials. Issues surrounding foundational schooling — primary and secondary — should not remain unresolved or be addressed primarily through legal proceedings. Nigerians deserve clear, credible, and verifiable explanations, especially when such had been submitted in the past.
My deepest concern is the example this sets for more than 200 million Nigerians, particularly the over 30 million young people in schools. The nation’s highest office should exemplify integrity, accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership.
An imperfect past is part of the human condition. What matters is the willingness to confront it with humility, honesty and deep apology, to make amends where necessary and, when circumstances so demand, to place the interests of the nation above personal ambition.
When will our political class fully appreciate that individual ambitions are temporary, while the nation endures? The Presidency is an office held for a season; the moral standards established by those who occupy it can influence generations.
Nigeria is greater than any one person, and the integrity of the Republic must always come before the interests of the individual.

ABIA AND THE MIRACLE OF RESILIENCE
Being the Text of a Broadcast by Governor Alex C. Otti, OFR, on Thursday, August 27, 2026 to Mark the 35th Anniversary of the Creation of Abia State
1. Umunnem ndi Abia, I come to you this morning with an elation of gratitude, thankful, firstly to the Almighty God for His blessings upon our land in the last 35 years. May I also congratulate you, dear brothers and sisters, as we relish the joy of this remarkable anniversary in our evolution as a people bound by a common heritage, defined by the resilience of our spirit and hope in the promises that tomorrow holds. Individually and collectively, every one of us has uniquely contributed to shaping the character of our State, drawing its identity and laying out the map of its future. Fellow Abians, you owe it to yourself to be proud of the contributions you have made in the building of this community of endless possibilities. Our joy on this momentous occasion does not come from a place of vanity, it is firmed on the conviction that a new epoch is upon us, our moment has arrived and with gratitude, we shall seize the opportunities of our day to create a better world for those coming after us. Our race is never about outrunning others, it is pushing ourselves harder each day, asking tough questions and refusing to settle for less than we deserve.
2. The radiance of our dear State draws from the light lit by the brilliance of foresight and the prodigious intellect of our father, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, CON, who served as our first democratically-elected Governor; over the last 27 years, my predecessors, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, Chief Theodore Orji, CON, and Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, MON, have exerted themselves in the service of our people, contributing to its socio-economic and political evolution. We owe them a debt of gratitude for their contribution to our development. On a day of immense historical significance like this, we are obliged to also remember the efforts and commitments of the military administrators whose steady leadership helped in the maintenance of peace and social stability in the early years. The foundations laid by Air Vice Marshal Frank Ajobena, CON, Brigadier General Chinyere Ike Nwosu, Commander Temi Ejoor, Colonel Moses Fasanya and Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Obi offered great hopes about the immense potential that our young State held at the time. Their investments in infrastructure and commitment to public order greatly shaped the construct of our economic and social experiences as our identity began to emerge. Like all of us, our past leaders may not have been perfect, but we must never lose sight of their efforts at building a political entity that answers to the aspirations of all who share in its heritage.
