THREAD: An Open Letter to Mr. Peter Gregory Obi
Former Presidential Candidate, Labour Party, 2023 General Election
1/12
Dear Mr. @PeterObi,
I write this with all humility and with a heart burdened by both hope and fear for the future of our great nation Nigeria. #PeterObi#ADC
@PeterObi 12/12
Mr. Obi, we cannot afford to lose you to miscalculation.
The glory of this country, its dignity, its future, and the dreams of millions of young Nigerians rest on the decisions you make right now.
You are our hope. Act now, sir. We are watching. We are praying. We trust you
@PeterObi 11/12
But here is the urgency: under the amended electoral law, no candidate can defect after the primaries.
This is a calculated trap. If you do not win the ADC ticket, your options collapse. You must make the right move BEFORE the primaries shut that door permanently.

This is why the combination of yourself and Kwankwaso is not merely strategic. It is essential.
Kwankwaso pulls the North. You pull the Southeast, South South, and parts of the Southwest. Together, you do not just compete. You overwhelm.
@PeterObi 7/12Yes, the APC and the incumbent have overwhelming machinery: governors, the judiciary, the military, and INEC. But that machinery has limits.When rejection is massive and widespread, rigging becomes impossible. When the people rise in overwhelming numbers the machinery buckles

I must also speak plainly about your current position.
If you remain in the ADC, the chances of you emerging as its presidential candidate are slim. Time is not on your side. The window for strategic action is narrowing. Please do not allow yourself to be cornered.

I fear we are on the verge of repeating the tragedy of 2023. The potential coalition of Atiku, Kwankwaso, and others that could have removed the incumbent is being weakened by personal ambitions.
Each of them wants the seat for themselves, not for Nigeria.
@PeterObi 4/12
We believe under your leadership there would be real transformation in health, education, the economy, and every sector of national life.
Every young Nigerian who still dares to hope, hopes in you.
This is why I write today with an urgent and humble appeal.
@PeterObi 3/12
Then you emerged.
With your emergence came a resurgence of hope. You are a man of integrity. You speak with vision, clarity, and purpose. And more than that, you act on what you say. You are not merely a politician offering promises. You are a leader offering proof.
2/12 Nigeria has suffered under bad leadership for decades. This has not only drained our resources, it has stolen hope from her people. Young Nigerians, the largest portion of our population, had largely given up on this country.The dream of a better Nigeria had become illussion
@SirJarus@AskMichaelTaiwo@olorunwababs 6. I'm excited to share that I have commenced at my place of work.
In the background, keep showing up and following people that have track records of success. You will win too.
@SirJarus, @AskMichaelTaiwo, @olorunwababs
1. The journey of strength and resilience, I would say.
I lost my dad, who was my sole financial support at age 14 .
It seems my dream has fallen apart as I literally do not know how I would progress with my academics...
@SirJarus@AskMichaelTaiwo@olorunwababs 5. In obedience to his instruction, refined my application packages which successfully landed me a job with an NGO centred on Infectious Disease research.
Mr. @SirJarus do not just stopped at advising me, he supported me financially which I can never forget in life.
@SirJarus@AskMichaelTaiwo@olorunwababs 4. Post graduate NYSC period was really a tough time where almost all job applications returned with rejection.
It was after this experience that I sought out counsel from Mr. @SirJarus who advised me to refine my CV and keep applying...
@SirJarus@AskMichaelTaiwo@olorunwababs 3. I graduated top of my class in 2024 with a First-Class honours in Microbiology from Futminna.
Afterwards, I enrolled for NYSC. I was intentionally following people with track records of solid success. The likes of Mr. @SirJarus, Dr. @AskMichaelTaiwo,.......
@SirJarus@AskMichaelTaiwo@olorunwababs 2. Faced with this sad reality, I refused to give up on my dream of becoming one of the leading researchers addressing Antimicrobial Resistance.
This passion keeps me going during my undergrad studies. I coupled part time teaching job alongside my studies.
