The target is PO. It is our duty to resist this and work collectively to ensure that PO remains our candidate on the INEC portal.

Delighted to Return to School of Nursing Sciences, Emekuku, Owerri, Imo State.
In continuation of my itinerant visits to educational and healthcare institutions in the country, yesterday, I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, Holy Rosary Hospital, Emekuku, where I met with the management, staff, and students, and presented a donation of ₦15 million to the institution.
I reminded the students that the world needs them more than they need the world because healthcare is one of humanity’s most fundamental needs. Any nation that truly desires development must invest in the education and training of healthcare professionals, who remain indispensable to the well-being and productivity of society.
I was delighted to inspect the computer laboratory, which I had previously supported, and to witness the remarkable progress the institution has made. It was also encouraging to reflect on other health institutions, such as Iyi-Enu and Borromeo, which I supported over the years and which have now grown into teaching hospitals. Their transformation reinforces my belief that sustained investments in health and education can produce enduring results. I look forward to seeing Holy Rosary Hospital attain the same status.
Our vision must be to build a Nigeria where functional institutions produce competent professionals, where investments are directed to critical sectors that lift people out of poverty, and where every child, regardless of background, has the opportunity to succeed. That is how we will build a nation where the son of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
She’s the kind of woman who if BAT wants to give you 10k for Uber she’ll tell him to give you 1k instead to enter bus and you can trek the remaining distance so you can stay healthy.
Hmmm, every day I see why Peter Obi wouldn’t mind spending billions on education. We have an education crisis on our hands, and the sooner we confront it, the better for our future.
NDC deregistered?
Nobody is disturbing labour party again. None is disturbing AAC. Nobody is disturbing APM. Notice how the heat has suddenly moved to NDC?
The establishment is ignoring the rest because Peter Obi remains the singular threat they dread. The ghost of 2023 still haunts them. They know the true weight of the numbers and how dangerously close they came to the edge. Even forcing them to pull off unprecedented legal gymnastics just to get the courts to overlook the FCT 25% requirement.
It was a logistical and public relations nightmare. They are fully aware that despite commanding state power, vast resources, and a coalition of over 32 governors, Obi retains the exact same explosive potential to disrupt their plans. Only INEC and them know what the numbers they saw in 2023 - the fear is unusual.

Rumors flying everywhere that NDC is Deregistered keh?😂
Una wan see Craze?
If APC & TINUBU try am, there’ll be No ELECTIONS Next year
There’ll neither be a Nigeria, where Tinubu & APC would dream to contest unopposed⚠️‼️
You wanna burn the country? We’ll help you do it✌️
This is deeply troubling.
When those in power begin to use the courts to shrink the democratic space rather than expand it, every Nigerian should be concerned. Democracy only works when citizens have genuine choices, not when one party appears determined to run unopposed.
The APC should have enough confidence in its popularity (as it claims to have) to face opponents at the polls instead of weaponizing the judiciary against the opposition.
Nigerians deserves free, fair and genuinely competitive elections. And this continuous abuse of our institutions for partisan advantage will erode public trust and put our democracy at risk.
NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING
Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party.
The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did.
Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance.
NDC also fielded candidates, and fully participated, in the just-concluded bye elections in Nasarawa and Enugu states.
Candidates for the House of Assembly, House of Representatives, Senate, Governorship, Presidential, and Vice-Presidential positions have been duly nominated, and we are in the process of formally submitting them to INEC in accordance with INEC’s timetable.
The association that filed the complaint is unknown to us. The Peace Movement Party (PMP) is not a registered political party in Nigeria. They claimed, in a motion (not even a substantive suit or appeal), that the court should set aside its earlier judgment on the purported ground that, in 2015, they had sought registration as a political party with the victory sign as their symbol and were denied.
It is important to note that they are not an association applying for registration now under the exercise that started last year. They are also not a registered political party in Nigeria participating in the political process now, as we are.
Furthermore, the court, having delivered a final judgment in our suit against INEC, had become functus officio. The court had also dealt with all related issues concerning associations claiming they wanted to use the same symbol and colours. The court, in its judgment, overruled INEC when those issues were raised, and there is no appeal against that judgment.
Therefore, we are surprised that, on an application by an association claiming that it wanted to register as a political party with the victory sign in 2015—an association that is not a registered political party and is not seeking registration now to participate in the current political process—His Lordship came to the conclusion that they have locus standi, and furthermore, that he has jurisdiction to do what he did.
Accordingly, we have been informed that His Lordship made an order setting aside the court’s earlier decision of December 2025.
There was no order directing our deregistration. However, we are dissatisfied with the decision that has been made, and we have instructed our team of lawyers to immediately proceed to the Court of Appeal to challenge the jurisdiction and propriety of His Lordship’s order.
We assure the general public, and particularly our candidates at all levels, that our party is on course. The NDC has not been deregistered, and we are challenging today’s order at the Court of Appeal as soon as possible. We have no doubt that justice will be done.
We condemn efforts by those who seek to shrink the democratic space and stifle opposition voices and alternatives. Nigerians have a right to a full range of opinions, ideas, and alternatives, and political platforms and candidates should be allowed to participate in the 2027 general election process, which has already gone midway.
