@ruffydfire Weldone Mr Oseni Rufai. I am truly proud of you.

[oseni rufai @ruffydfire]

I will like to thank you all for your messages of support and calls too numerous to respond to.

I am embarrassed and emboldened by your love!

A lot of people ask what is my conviction in fighting for a better Nigeria and I tell them history!

I have read through the times of Pa Michael Imodu and the 1945 strike and I saw the betrayal he faced from fellow Nigerians he fought for.

Some Nigerians and the National Youth Movement sided with the colonial government over Pa.Imodu, the Daily Service, a newspaper wrote a lot of scathing articles against Pa. Imodu, the Nigerian Conservative elite the benefitted from the colonial government sided against the Nigerian workers but Pa .Imodu was dogged! Even the workers he fought for, stood against him and sided with their oppressors, the colonial masters! Like we all know, It takes a trained mind to see oppression, a lot of people side with their own oppressors!

I am not surprised that people support the evil and ills of society because it benefits them. There’s a convenience about not talking when you have a morsel of Eba in your mouth!

For me my convictions are clear, the Love of Country, God and welfare of the left behind are my priorities! For those benefitting from the ruination of Nigeria, we will never agree and we ought not to. My convictions will always be about the betterment of my country, I am human and I don’t see my self as better than Pa.Imodu or any other patriot but I have always argued that my country is worth speaking up for, and I know the forces of special interests is transient. I am happy to be in this moment of history and there is no place I will rather be, than at this inflection point of national consciousness.

I am not here to impress you or agree with you but here to speak to the betterment of a country so blessed but so poor. I am not perfect, I will make my mistakes, I will surprise myself,sometimes otherwise, I will have my ups and downs but I can always assure you that the priority to speak truth to power will be my strength!

I am not oblivious of those that benefit from the ruination of our country, I leave them to their conscience if they have one but for me I will continue to be in the vanguard of helping the poor and amplifying the conversations!

I DEY KAMPE!!!!!

I LOVE YOU!

It fills my heart with Joy to see young people stepping up to disrupt the old order, offering themselves to the service of the people. Young people who are not slaves waiting for crumbs to fall from the highly elevated position of their slave masters.

I am for Peter Akah.
Go Peter @Peter4Nigeria

Professor Joash Amupitan must step aside. Retweet massively, don’t say anything.

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan is a renowned APC member. His X (formerly Twitter) account from 2022 has surfaced, & he openly supported Tinubu at the last election.

His account name was recently changed. Joash Amupitan has locked his X Account. A partisan INEC Chairman has no business presiding over our elections, & he must resign immediately.

@joashamupitan was recently changed to @Sundayvibe00. The account is now private.

I expect the ADC to take this up immediately.

Meet Engr. Ikechukwu Monday, (MNSE, FNSE). He is the expert, the brain behind some of the wonders you see in Abia state. Here is the handle, go & follow him @hikemann. Monday is the Commissioner for Power & Public Utilities.

We all know he won’t go back empty-handed. The reason is simple: “he was poached from General Electric as an engineer to head the Power & Public Utilities Ministry in Abia state.”

A power & energy expert with vast experience in Gas & Steam Turbines. He is an Alumnus of the Federal University of Technology Yola & Roehampton Business School, London.

Former roles include:

Engineering Manager at Sulzer (Netherlands), Gas Turbine Specialist at GE (Africa & Middle East), Obajana Cement & Granite Services.

He is driving electricity access, solar initiatives, mini-grids, transformer distribution & water scheme rehabilitation under Gov. Alex Otti.

He is dedicated to powering businesses, lighting up Abia, & improving lives in the state.

Alex Otti has simplified governance. If he succeeds in pulling the state away from the National Grid, Abia will become the first Nigerian state to achieve Energy Autonomy since independence. In fact, it would become the first to achieve Energy Security since 1914.

He has made other sub-nationals look like jokes. He sent his commissioner for works to the Netherlands to negotiate the energy deal.

He didn’t have to fly abroad himself. He is right there in Abia facing the business of governance

No excuses, no sharing of rice. Just reliable electricity, infrastructure & industrialization 👏

Thank You All

From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank everyone for the outpouring of goodwill and birthday wishes I received worldwide. I remain deeply grateful to all who marked the day in one way or another, not to mention Nigerian youths, the Obidient family and the members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, renowned for their apostolate to the poor.

As for me, while I deeply appreciate the gestures of celebration, I must once again reiterate that I do not personally celebrate birthdays. I recall vividly when I turned 50, during my time as Governor. Many institutions and individuals approached me with elaborate plans for the occasion.

One institution generously offered to build a house for me in the village. When I asked for the estimated cost, they said it would be ₦120 million. I humbly requested that the funds be redirected to build classrooms in three educational institutions at Agulu, Ekwulobia and Abatete. They obliged—and the impact was far-reaching.

Another group had budgeted ₦20 million for a lavish party. I graciously asked them to consider using the funds to purchase desktop computers for schools. Their eventual donation of 200 desktops was distributed to schools across the state, enhancing learning for many students.

In a similar spirit of redirection, another organisation—whose intention had originally been to celebrate me—ended up donating buses, which we distributed to institutions in need, including one that went to the legendary Old Rangers Association.

This has been my consistent approach over the years. On each birthday, I use the opportunity to redirect goodwill towards causes that uplift others.

As I turned 64 years old yesterday, I must confess that the current state of our nation makes the idea of personal merriment even more difficult to contemplate. The scale of suffering and deprivation among our people weighs heavily on the conscience. This is why I have once again requested that all those who wish to celebrate me should instead channel their resources towards helping the poor or supporting our struggling health and educational institutions.

On my part, I have chosen this day to renew my personal commitment to continue supporting the institutions of state in the best way I can, especially those that directly serve the people.

Providentially, I was in Rome, at the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs, and my birthday coincided with this visit. I used this sacred opportunity, as I always do when I am in Nigeria, to remember you all in prayer. I especially prayed for our beloved country, Nigeria—that God may touch the hearts of our leaders, and awaken in them the realisation that public funds are meant for the public good.

May we all find strength and grace to keep striving for a more just, compassionate, and equitable society.

Thank you, once again. -PO

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

In November 2022, while campaigning in Delta State, the then APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu, now the President, berated the other Presidential Candidate (Peter Obi), he was ashamed to call his name, saying "Na statistics we go chop all I want is to put food on the table of Nigerians”.

Now 2 years into his 4-year tenure, Nigeria is classified as one of the hungriest nations in the world with millions of Nigerians not knowing where their next meal will come from.

President Tinubu is now overfeeding Nigerians with wrong Statistics from wrong unemployment figures, wrong inflation figures, and now GDP rebasing, all to put a positive spin on our deteriorating economic and household conditions.

Governance is not a rocket science, it's not a gamble, like I have always reiterated, it requires sincerity of purpose, character, competence, capacity and compassion.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
