@jrnaib2 Ruth is that nobody Markets Peter Obi like you and your likes. In an attempt to demarket him and bring him down, you end up amplifying him. Please continue in that trajectory.

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BY MR. PETER OBI FOLLOWING HIS NOMINATION AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF THE NIGERIAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS(NDC) – MAY 30, 2026

Protocols,

Esteemed citizens of Nigeria,

It is with deep humility that I accept the role of presidential candidate for our party.
I express my profound gratitude to the leaders of our party. His Excellency Seriake Dickson, the National Chairman, National Secretary and the National Working Committee, NWC members and members of our relentless supporters, and the Nigerian populace who have steadfastly kept the spirit of hope alive. I commend those who have made the journey from every region of our nation to convene here in Abuja.

I wish to assert unequivocally: a New Nigeria is Possible. This conviction has united us; it must serve as our compass on the challenging road ahead and sustain us through all trials we may face. This pivotal moment transcends the individual ambitions of Peter Obi; it concerns the essence of our nation and the future of our children. It is about rekindling hope for millions who have faced adversity yet remain committed to Nigeria.

Today, our nation finds itself at a crucial juncture, enveloped in uncertainty. Families are anxious about their safety; parents are concerned for their children's futures; and talented youth increasingly question their prospects in their homeland.

Businesses are struggling, communities are suffering, and an alarming number of citizens have lost faith in the very concept of governance. Yet, I stand before you filled with optimism and strong faith in the resilience of our people, for I firmly believe that a New Nigeria is possible.

UNITY
To realise this New Nigeria, we must first mend the foundational elements essential for the success of any nation.

Nigeria cannot advance while fragmented by ethnic, religious, regional, or narrow political divides. We may communicate in different languages and practise diverse faiths, but we share a singular destiny under one flag. Our diversity should not be a source of division; rather, it is among our greatest strengths.

We should build bridges where others erect barriers, replace mistrust with confidence, division with understanding, and resentment with a collective purpose. A united Nigeria is indispensable. As Will Durant wisely pointed out, "A great civilisation is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." We must never self-destruct. We must heal, unify, and progress together.

INSECURITY
In terms of security, the situation in Nigeria has considerably worsened. The global terrorism impact assessments ranked Nigeria as the 8th most affected nation in 2022, 6th in 2024, and 4th in 2026.
Yet, for many years, Nigeria garnered global recognition as a reliable contributor to peacekeeping, regional stabilisation, and conflict resolution. Our troops have not only displayed bravery but have also shown professionalism, discipline, resilience, and empathy in the most challenging operational contexts. Our officers and personnel have successfully commanded multiple international forthe ces, safeguarded vulnerable civilian populations, monitored ceasefires, reinstated constitutional order, and contributed to rebuilding efforts.

Nigeria became one of the leading contributors of troops from Africa to UN peacekeeping missions and earned widespread admiration for operational effectiveness and leadership in various countries, including Rwanda, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mali, Western Sahara, Congo, Lebanon, Cambodia, Haiti, and Kuwait. At one pointin a Nigeria, Lt. General Isaac Obiakor (rtd) even led global peacekeeping initiatives.

We must address insecurity with resolve and urgency, for no nation can thrive while its citizens live in trepidation. The primary responsibility of the government is to ensure the safeguarding of lives and property.

@instablog9ja Till this very moment, all your shalayeing has not fetched you anything more than gutter supervisor

[Ikediya @AsaduKenneth2]

@U_Rochas Your hatred on Peter Obi is because he led a revolution that destroyed your Chimaroke. He has since moved on to other things, but you have refused to move on too.

[Ikediya @AsaduKenneth2]

@Big_marvis @TOmuabor Two things were evidenced here
1. A proper idiot
2. A kid
Number 1 is likely the most appropriate.

[Ikediya @AsaduKenneth2]

@HighChiefOkoro All APC supporters should be apprehended. You all are terrorists

[Ikediya @AsaduKenneth2]

@PoojaMedia You people went and celebrated your Eid in a grand style never in a low key and you want to rub it in on those children by having Ojude Oba again while they still languish in the bush in the hands of terrorists. Pooja, you are a dev!l

[Ikediya @AsaduKenneth2]

@MFaarees_ What's happening here???

[Ikediya @AsaduKenneth2]

@Omo_olodun How people wan know wetin dey happen????

[Ikediya @AsaduKenneth2]

@Maibitil_ These two persons you just mentioned will be the end to ADC and Atiku's political struggles. Just a one court case and it will be over

[Ikediya @AsaduKenneth2]

@U_Rochas Here is a testament that you all are not interested in Atiku winning elections. You are all interested in him winning the primary so as to burn his dollars during the campaigns.
Evil souls.

[Ikediya @AsaduKenneth2]

@ChibuikeAmaechi You see eeeerrr. My love for Peter Obi has tripled.
See me see story for ground wey I for dey now.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

My final engagement before leaving Capetown for Johannesburg yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting two distinguished former leaders, President Ian Khama of Botswana and President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, before departing Cape Town for Johannesburg yesterday.

This meeting was an opportunity for me to express my heartfelt appreciation for their positive comments on the recent immigration issues in the region and their continued advocacy for peace and unity among African nations.

Both Mr Khama and Mr Mbeki continue to hold significant respect across the continent due to their remarkable contributions, both during and after their presidencies.

During my audience with Mr Mbeki, I also reconnected with my good friend, former Ekiti State Governor Dr Kayode Fayemi, who delivered a keynote address at the Thabo Mbeki Africa Day lecture, focusing on the themes of rebuilding unity and revitalising institutions throughout the continent.

This event was organised by the Thabo Mbeki Foundation. -PO

@OurFavOnlineDoc There is no way you will support APC and not be an evil soul

@onlyone_success I hate the fact that Frank will cry again because I love him so much.

@atiku This tweet is never about Arsenal and football. It is all about you and elections. But you are wrong.
