Nigeria is gradually becoming a nation where human lives no longer seem to matter to those in authority. Every day citizens wake up not knowing where the next att@ck, kidn@pping, or massacre will happen. Nobody feels safe anymore not in the villages, not on the highways, not even in their own homes.
People were mas_sacred in Benue, and after the noise d!ed down, nothing happened. People were k!lled in Jos, and still nothing meaningful happened. Citizens are kidn@_pped daily across different parts of the country, ransoms are paid, families are destr_oyed, yet government continues behaving as though insecurity is just another normal headline.
Even our traditional rulers are no longer respected or protected. A traditional ruler was k!dn@pped and murd_ered, and up till today, where is the justice? Where are the arrests? Where are the results? The only thing Nigerians keep hearing are press conferences, promises, “we condemn the attack,” and endless condolence messages. Enough of all these empty statements.
This is 2026. Technology has advanced beyond excuses. Phones can be tracked. Bank accounts can be monitored. Locations can be traced. Security agencies can quickly locate citizens who criticize government online, yet somehow k!dna_ppers and terro_rists continue to operate freely for years without consequences. That contradiction is what angers Nigerians the most.
The truth is painful: government appears more aggressive against dissent than against cr!m!nals. If you speak against those in power, they can find you within hours. But when innocent people are abducted or slaugh_tered, suddenly the system becomes weak, slow, and helpless.
A nation where citizens are constantly looking over their shoulders, wondering who will be k!dna_pped next or which community will be att@cked next, is a nation dangerously failing in its primary responsibility. Security is the first duty of government, not propaganda, not press conferences, and not repeated condolences after every tragedy.
Nigerians are tired. Tired of speeches. Tired of promises. Tired of staged sympathy. Tired of watching cr!m!nals operate with confidence while innocent citizens live in fear.
Enough is enough. Nigerians deserve protection, justice, and real action not another condolence message after the next mass_acre.

PRESS RELEASE
RE: ULTIMATUM TO MR. PETER OBI BY THE AFRICAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (ADC)
Our attention has been drawn to the recent statement released by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) concerning the resolutions of the Coalition and our role within it.
We wish to restate our position clearly. While we remain fully committed to the vision of the Coalition and acknowledge the adoption of the ADC as the coalition platform, it is on record that His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi aligned with the coalition’s position after the Anambra State Governorship Election, extending to the 2027 General Elections. This adoption and pronouncement were made publicly by the party. We are therefore concerned as to why the resolution is now being altered midway into the agreement.
H.E. Peter Obi, as a leader with a broad constituency, has always taken time to consult widely before making major political decisions. He did so before joining the coalition, and he must also do so before responding to any ultimatum.
As the Obidient Movement, being part of the main consulting bloc, we are particularly concerned about how the party intends to zone its presidential ticket. Considering that the presidency is currently held by the South, issues of equity and fairness must guide such decisions if the party truly aims to secure victory in the 2027 elections.
We are equally interested in how the party zones its principal offices within the coalition, as this will ensure justice, fairness, and inclusivity — factors that will enable us to mobilize effectively across the country.
It must be emphasized that H.E. Peter Obi is not desperate to be President of Nigeria. His ultimate mission is to see Nigeria work — to lift people out of poverty, to improve the economy, education, healthcare, and security. These were the reasons he joined the coalition in the first place targeted towards good governance which are the core values of the Obidient Movement
