MY MESSAGE TO NIGERIANS ON THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 2027
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
My dear Nigerians,
As the 2027 presidential campaign officially begins, I call on every Nigerian to reflect deeply on the state of our nation and the kind of country we want to leave for the next generation.
Nigeria stands at a critical crossroads. Our people are facing a difficult economic reality. The rising cost of food and essential goods has placed enormous pressure on families.
Millions of young Nigerians are searching for meaningful employment and opportunities, while businesses are struggling with high operating costs and an uncertain economic environment.
At the same time, insecurity continues to threaten communities across the country. Too many families have lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods to terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other forms of violence.
Our farmers need security to return to their farms, our children need safe schools, and every Nigerian deserves to live without fear.
Our education and healthcare systems require urgent investment. Our infrastructure must be improved, our institutions strengthened, and public resources managed with greater
transparency and accountability.
These challenges are serious, but Nigeria is full of hope. We have the people, resources and potential to build a prosperous and secure nation. What we need is leadership with the competence, courage and commitment to put the interests of Nigerians first.
This is why I have chosen to work with His Excellency, Peter Obi, on the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket.
Our partnership is not about region, religion or personal ambition. It is about Nigeria. We believe in a country where government serves the people, where hard work is rewarded, where young people can build successful futures at home, and where every citizen has a fair opportunity to prosper.
To our young people, women, workers, farmers, entrepreneurs and professionals, I ask you to join us in this journey.
Let us move beyond politics of division and focus on the issues that affect our daily lives. Let us demand accountability, competence and results from those entrusted with public office.
The 2027 election presents Nigerians with an opportunity to choose a new direction.
I therefore call on all Nigerians to support the Obi–Kwankwaso ticket and all candidates of the NDC and join us in the task of rebuilding our nation.
Let us campaign peacefully, responsibly and with the national interest at heart.
Together, we can build a stronger nation and Nigeria will be OK. - RMK
My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria
Today, being the 1st of July, 2026, I wish to humbly recall that when I decided to contest for the office of President of Nigeria, I pledged to place Nigeria on the path of unity and national transformation. Now, as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, I will, in the coming weeks and months, provide insights into the roadmap that I am confident will help curb abuse in government, halt the decline in the quality of life of Nigerians at all levels, and usher in an era of unity, peace, sustained progress, and prosperity.
This vision is anchored on a commitment to unity, inclusion, social justice, equity, and the freedom of every citizen to pursue lawful dreams.
Central to this proposed roadmap are significant reforms in education and healthcare, which are at the core of human capital development.
Robust human capital is indispensable infrastructure for national progress. It serves as the fundamental capital upon which daily life, economic expansion, and the delivery of essential public services depend.
These are foundational areas that we must reform with energy and determination if we are to reap the demographic dividend of our youthful population.
From the outset of my presidency, we will establish a task force dedicated to drastically reducing the menace of out-of-school children. We will place greater emphasis on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to support our drive for massive industrialisation, anchored on our agricultural endowments and value addition across value chains organised around industrial parks to be located in development zones across the geopolitical regions of the country.
Funding and improving the equipment of TVET institutions, through partnerships among government, the private sector, and social entrepreneurs such as faith-based educators, will facilitate apprenticeship opportunities in the private sector, similar to the German dual education system.
The situation in which unemployment remains high while Nigerian entrepreneurs establish businesses elsewhere because skilled labour is scarce must be confronted decisively. Doing so is essential for the common good and for facilitating our transition from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one.
Character and civic education, emphasising the values that foster trust - an essential ingredient for enterprise and leadership - as well as shared national values, will receive significant attention within the tripartite approach to governance that we propose.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
PRESS STATEMENT
OBIDIENT MOVEMENT REJECTS THE APPOINTMENT OF THEO ABU AGADA AND DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY FROM NDC LEADERSHIP AND TANKO YUNUSA
The attention of the Obidient Movement has been drawn to the appointment of Theo Abu Agada as Director of New Media and Strategic Communications by the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.
We condemn this appointment in the strongest possible terms.
This appointment is not just insensitive. It is a direct insult to their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, the Obidient Movement, and the millions of Nigerians who have stood firmly behind a movement built on competence, character, justice, accountability, and people-centred politics.
A party that claims to value the Obidient Movement cannot turn around and appoint a man whose public record is filled with repeated attacks, insults, and open hostility towards their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Obidients. You cannot disrespect the largest support base within your political structure and still pretend you are building unity.
Theo Abu Agada has publicly described supporters of their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in insulting terms. He has questioned Peter Obi’s capacity, portrayed him as a threat to free speech, accused his supporters with reckless language, and repeatedly made statements that show clear contempt for the same movement NDC now expects to energise its public communication.
Even worse, he once claimed that Peter Obi had “unleashed his IPOB supporters on Nigerians.” That kind of statement goes beyond political disagreement. It is a dangerous attempt to link their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Obidients to IPOB, and by extension paint the movement with the brush of extremism and terrorism. No serious political party that respects Peter Obi or the Obidient Movement should reward such a person with a sensitive communications position.
Can NDC appoint someone who has publicly insulted and disparaged Rabiu Kwankwaso or the Kwankwasiyya Movement into a sensitive communications position and expect Kwankwasiyya supporters to clap for it? Can NDC reward someone who has repeatedly attacked Kwankwaso and still claim it respects his movement?
If the answer is no, then why does NDC think it can do this to their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Obidient Movement?
The NDC leadership must explain how such a person passed through any serious political vetting process for a sensitive communications role. New Media and Strategic Communications is not a decoration. It is the public voice of a party. Appointing someone with a history of hostility towards their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Obidient Movement into that office sends a very clear message, and the message is disrespect.
This also raises serious questions about the role and effectiveness of Tanko Yunusa as the leader of the Obidient Movement.
What exactly is Tanko doing?
In the Labour Party, he was always seen around the leadership, taking pictures and standing close to Peter Obi, yet the same Labour Party repeatedly disrespected Peter Obi and the movement he was supposed to represent.
In ADC, the same pattern repeated itself. The Obidient Movement was treated with disregard, and its value was undermined.
Now in NDC, the same thing is happening again. The party leadership continues to disregard the Obidient Movement, even though Obidients remain the largest, loudest, and most active stakeholder group in this political alignment. That disregard has now reached their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, directly through the appointment of someone whose public record shows open hostility towards him.
So we ask again: what exactly is Tanko doing?
Is he there to defend the movement, or to take pictures?
Is he there to protect Peter Obi’s political leverage, or to stand in rooms like a mannequin?
Is he there to represent Obidients, or to lock comment sections whenever people ask uncomfortable questions?
Tanko Yunusa must answer a simple question: what the hell is he doing?
The Obidient Movement cannot continue to be treated as a crowd for rallies, online engagement, and political optics, while those who openly insult the movement are put in strategic positions where they will continue the insults.
We demand the following:
1. The immediate reversal of Theo Abu Agada’s appointment.
2. A public explanation from the NDC leadership on how this appointment was approved.
3. A formal apology to their presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the Obidient Movement.
4. A clear commitment from NDC that no individual with a public record of hostility towards Peter Obi or the Obidient Movement will be placed in any sensitive strategic communication role.
5. A full explanation from Tanko Yunusa on what he is doing as leader of the Obidient Movement and why this pattern of disrespect keeps repeating itself under his watch.
The Obidient Movement is not a spare tyre. We are not political furniture. We are not a movement to be used when convenient and disrespected when power is being shared.
If NDC wants the energy, credibility, reach, and sacrifice of Obidients, then it must treat the movement with respect.
Anything short of that is unacceptable.

Prophet of Thoughts
For and on behalf of Obidients, since the leadership of the Movement is sleeping.
Was about to sleep around 2AM few days ago. Saw this white girl IG video and one sharp idea just came to my head.
ASAP sleep left my eyes.
Uploaded the video to GPT & it created the Selar sales page, image creatives, ad copy and even pricing.
TOOK THE OFFER TO KENYA & GHANA
If Peter Obi wins the 2027 election, his first 100 days would probably shake Nigeria in ways many people are not ready for.
Not miracles.
Not overnight change.
But visible disruption.
Here are 20 things most likely to happen early:
1. Government spending will reduce aggressively. Expect fewer convoys, fewer luxury expenses, fewer unnecessary foreign trips.
2. Ministries and agencies may face serious audits. A lot of hidden contracts and inflated budgets could suddenly become public conversations.
3. Subsidy discussions will return immediately. Nigerians may face short-term pain before any long-term structure appears.
4. The naira might react emotionally first before economically. Supporters will celebrate. Investors will watch cautiously.
5. Some politicians who survived on “connection money” may suddenly go quiet.
6. Young Nigerians will become unusually hopeful again. Social media energy alone could change national mood temporarily.
7. There’ll be strong resistance from powerful interests inside government institutions.
8. Expect tension between old political elites and a reform-driven presidency.
9. Federal appointments may become less “godfather based” and more competence focused — at least publicly.
10. ASUU, universities and education funding may receive faster attention than usual.
11. Nigerians abroad may start reconsidering returning home if policies look stable.
12. Corruption cases could increase dramatically in headlines during the first months.
13. Some governors may suddenly become “friends of transparency” overnight.
14. The civil service could experience pressure to digitize operations faster.
15. There may be attempts to cut waste in National Assembly spending, and that alone would create national drama.
16. The stock market may respond positively to stability signals, especially if foreign investors regain confidence.
17. Fuel prices may still remain painful initially, which could disappoint people expecting instant relief.
18. Media attacks against him would intensify heavily once reforms start touching powerful pockets.
19. Nigerians would become more politically divided online than ever before. Supporters and critics would clash daily.
20. The biggest change may not even be money.
It may simply be Nigerians feeling like leadership is finally trying to look responsible again.
A New Nigeria is Possible.
