🚨 OFFICIAL: Messi family statement. ❗️
"The Messi family informs that Jorge Messi is currently going through a health situation.
"At this time, he is under medical supervision, recovering and progressing favorably within the condition he is experiencing.
"In light of the reports, rumors, and speculation that have circulated in recent hours, the family wishes to express its deep concern regarding the lack of sensitivity, respect, and discretion with which some individuals have treated a strictly private family matter.
"The family would also like to clarify that only Jorge’s immediate family has real and accurate information regarding his condition. Therefore, any version, statement, or information that does not come directly from the family and its official channels should not be considered valid or truthful.
"At times like these, we ask for responsibility, prudence, and humanity. A person’s health and the peace of mind of their loved ones should not be the subject of speculation or irresponsible media attention.
"We sincerely appreciate the expressions of affection, respect, and concern we have received, and we ask that Jorge’s privacy, confidentiality, and personal space—as well as that of his entire family—be respected throughout this process.
"Any relevant updates will be communicated in due course by the family and through the appropriate channels.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Introducing #ObidientOfTheWeek 🇳🇬
Dear Obidients,
Across Nigeria and around the world, many of you are quietly doing the work - mobilising communities, promoting voter registration, supporting civic engagement, empowering young people, and keeping the hope of a better Nigeria alive.
Too often, these efforts go unnoticed.
And this is why we have decided to change that...
Today, we launch Obidient of the Week, our way of recognising and celebrating Nigerians whose dedication, sacrifice, and service are helping to strengthen both the Obidient Movement and our nation.
This initiative is about shining a light on those who choose action over apathy, service over self-interest, and hope over despair.
Every week, we will spotlight an individual whose work embodies the values of active citizenship, integrity, and commitment to building a New Nigeria.
To all those putting in the work on the ground, online, in their communities, campuses, workplaces, and neighbourhoods: we see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you.
Because movements are built by people.
Because change is driven by citizens.
Because we all believe that a New Nigeria is POssible.
Watch out for our first #ObidientoftheWeek tomorrow!
#ObidientMovement #ANewNigeriaIsPOssible
