Today is “Ask your colleagues if they have a PVC” day.

Their responses might shock you, but don’t give up.

Engage them and try your best to ensure they see how important this is and register for their PVC.

Ask your family members and flatmates if they have a voters card. Their response might shock.

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BY MR. PETER OBI FOLLOWING HIS NOMINATION AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF THE NIGERIAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS(NDC) – MAY 30, 2026

Protocols,

Esteemed citizens of Nigeria,

It is with deep humility that I accept the role of presidential candidate for our party.
I express my profound gratitude to the leaders of our party. His Excellency Seriake Dickson, the National Chairman, National Secretary and the National Working Committee, NWC members and members of our relentless supporters, and the Nigerian populace who have steadfastly kept the spirit of hope alive. I commend those who have made the journey from every region of our nation to convene here in Abuja.

I wish to assert unequivocally: a New Nigeria is Possible. This conviction has united us; it must serve as our compass on the challenging road ahead and sustain us through all trials we may face. This pivotal moment transcends the individual ambitions of Peter Obi; it concerns the essence of our nation and the future of our children. It is about rekindling hope for millions who have faced adversity yet remain committed to Nigeria.

Today, our nation finds itself at a crucial juncture, enveloped in uncertainty. Families are anxious about their safety; parents are concerned for their children's futures; and talented youth increasingly question their prospects in their homeland.

Businesses are struggling, communities are suffering, and an alarming number of citizens have lost faith in the very concept of governance. Yet, I stand before you filled with optimism and strong faith in the resilience of our people, for I firmly believe that a New Nigeria is possible.

UNITY
To realise this New Nigeria, we must first mend the foundational elements essential for the success of any nation.

Nigeria cannot advance while fragmented by ethnic, religious, regional, or narrow political divides. We may communicate in different languages and practise diverse faiths, but we share a singular destiny under one flag. Our diversity should not be a source of division; rather, it is among our greatest strengths.

We should build bridges where others erect barriers, replace mistrust with confidence, division with understanding, and resentment with a collective purpose. A united Nigeria is indispensable. As Will Durant wisely pointed out, "A great civilisation is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." We must never self-destruct. We must heal, unify, and progress together.

INSECURITY
In terms of security, the situation in Nigeria has considerably worsened. The global terrorism impact assessments ranked Nigeria as the 8th most affected nation in 2022, 6th in 2024, and 4th in 2026.
Yet, for many years, Nigeria garnered global recognition as a reliable contributor to peacekeeping, regional stabilisation, and conflict resolution. Our troops have not only displayed bravery but have also shown professionalism, discipline, resilience, and empathy in the most challenging operational contexts. Our officers and personnel have successfully commanded multiple international forthe ces, safeguarded vulnerable civilian populations, monitored ceasefires, reinstated constitutional order, and contributed to rebuilding efforts.

Nigeria became one of the leading contributors of troops from Africa to UN peacekeeping missions and earned widespread admiration for operational effectiveness and leadership in various countries, including Rwanda, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mali, Western Sahara, Congo, Lebanon, Cambodia, Haiti, and Kuwait. At one pointin a Nigeria, Lt. General Isaac Obiakor (rtd) even led global peacekeeping initiatives.

We must address insecurity with resolve and urgency, for no nation can thrive while its citizens live in trepidation. The primary responsibility of the government is to ensure the safeguarding of lives and property.

Don’t say anything, just retweet.💔😢

The anger around the Ojude-oba festival is misdirected. That anger should be directed at the government, the man under whose watch this evil is happening. That He’s still on sit and even campaigning to be reelected, atrocity!

We should be demanding his resignation & step down.

[Deborah Ariyo @DeborahAriyo]

Back on this app because I’m tired and livid at this government.

2027 must be better!

[Deborah Ariyo @DeborahAriyo]

I am one of them and so are you so let us praise the Lord! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾😍😍😍😍

Wahala for every magician disguising as a man of God in this country.

When I wanted to start evangelizing in 2023, I reached out to Temi, she was so helpful. Connected me to a community of believers who evangelize & shared some advice. Followed up with me afterwards.

Thank you, Temi.

In 2024, the Gospel prevails! Evangelism like never before!

[❤️Abake the Bridge❤️ @Tee_Tayme]

I’m so glad I was able to preach the gospel this year.

I preached on the streets, in the train, one on one, with mic and with none. I helped others do the same.

Really emotional because I prayed for this. I prayed for boldness and he gave me this and strength

We go again Jesus

I won’t lie, I thoroughly enjoy the chats @Trevornoah has with his friends before the invited guest on each episode of What Now (podcast).

Interesting & stimulating conversations.

I didn’t think that post would lead to people toasting me but it is what it is.

So, yes I’m single.

If you toast me correct, I’ll give you a listening ear.

All I ask is that don’t be rude. Don’t be disrespectful.

Thank you.

I don’t like pepper that lies.

With the way everybody was sneezing while cooking this noodles, I was expecting that I will be crying while eating it. Lol.

The pepper didn’t live up to the sneezing it caused. Just painted my noodles red to come & be peppering mid 😏😏😒
