I have met a lot of people that voted Peter Obi the last time and will be voting PBAT next year.
I have also met a lot of people that voted Peter Obi last time but will sit out this election because Peter Obi hasn’t been as inspiring as he was in 2023 and they do not consider the alternatives as better.
I haven’t met a single PBAT supporter that is now supporting Peter Obi or any other candidate( this is my reality)
I believe this administration hasn’t lived up to certain hype but I cannot deny that it’s been reform minded. Helping correct structural issues that have plagued this country far too long.
For example, the recent passage of the state policing bill is by no means a mean feat. That this administration makes it look easy or don’t blow their trumpet so loudly does not diminish the huge significance of the bill and the tireless work that they put into it.
The implementation of the Nigeria Payments System Vision 2028 ( championed by CBN) is another policy that has gone under the radar(I believe we should all read about the policy) . This is one policy that will revolutionize our financial system for good. One that will birth several financial innovation and products. There is no eradication of poverty without financial inclusion and it appears CBN is on an articulated agenda towards a sustainable path.
For some of us, there are enough reasons to stick around this current administration. The alternatives aren’t as inspiring and simply do not have what it takes to out perform this current administration.

What did you even grab from the gibberish she typed not to talk of laughing at it?
APC has unleashed some recognisable set of PR machine since last year and they'll do more during the campaign seasons. Here are some :
1. Full blown APC supporters: these ones are very easy to recognise. They wear their tag like Amour. They're standing on that mandate with their full might
2. Tribalism geng( APC's most successful weapon): surprisingly, it doesn't involve the "Ronu geng" alone. They're active players from the other two major tribes. I call them the instigators. Their job is to come here and instigate tribal discourse. Sadly, many people have fallen for this one on here.
3. The former obidient geng: you'd have seen people tweeting about how they supported Obi and the obidient movement pre 2023 election and now they've suddenly seen the light in Tinubu's administration. They're exactly the ones in this category. They want to give the illusion that people are pulling their support away from the obidient movement.
4. The Fencists: this group always claim they're political neutralists, they claim they don't have any candidate but do not be deceived because if you wake them up from their sleep, they'll manage to squeeze 5 solid paragraphs criticizing Obi. They offer zero smoke for the ruling party. Even if they try, it'll always start with this 5 words "Tinubu is a failure but..." and ends with more paragraphs criticizing Obi.
5. Atikulates: I don't have much to say about these guys cuz they've been exposing themselves lately. As you've seen, they're all solidly behind APC.
6. The defeatist: these ones are always fostering a pessimistic mindset that leads to giving up easily. Their main purpose is to encourage voters apathy so it'll be easy for the electoral body to rig numbers in favour of APC.
One of their most recent work is "without the coalition, Tinubu second term is sure"
These are the ones I can recognise, you can add yours. Also note that more will be coming up after the primaries and into the campaign season.
Fellow Nigerians, good morning.
I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.
Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.
We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.
More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.
We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.
Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.
Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.
Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.
And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.
There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?
Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
