Together Towards the New Nigeria That Is Possible
On this June 12, Democracy Day, I had useful meetings with my partners in the building of the New Nigeria that is Possible: our great party’s National Leader, H.E. Senator Seriake Dickson, and our party’s Vice Presidential candidate, H.E. Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso. The NDC, as a party that is barely four months old, despite the challenges, remains the party of the future, and the fruitful discussions at the meetings clearly underscore this fact.
The leaders and members of a committed political family must be willing to make sacrifices and show tolerance and accommodation, even in difficult circumstances. This shared understanding is essential for building trust, strengthening unity, and sustaining the vision we collectively hold for national transformation.
We are all committed to this goal. The NDC remains the vehicle that will convey Nigeria through purposeful, compassionate leadership, with firm commitment to productivity and democratic ideals towards the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
My People,
What Nigeria needs is someone that will actually care. What politics destroyed, let love restore. Love & empathy left the country’s leadership. It is time they got back in the fight.
We have to reimagine Nigeria from scratch. We must guarantee its right to change. But for Nigeria to change, we must change minds.
There was a time when honor & morals meant something. Those years are long gone, but we can dream again. We have to restore the throne of good men. People whose hearts are in the right place. It seems unfair that Nigerians are going through both psychological & financial trauma at the same time. It’s been a while since my people were happy, like genuinely happy.
It feels odd because Nigerians are almost a Lost Generation. We are this close. We were some of “The Happiest People on the planet.” Those years are long gone, but we can smile again.
“Children must be supervised” is not for Nigeria
Nigerians are some of those who were abandoned by their country. Many have abandonment issues. The children of Nigeria have no sheltered life. Many are left to their own devices. Nigeria has changed, & generally for the worse. Nothing is ever what it seems!
And despite all of these, a man still cares.
There is much to tell. We need three miracles. One for victory, & one for freedom. The last? I will keep close to my chest. A fight for freedom starts in the shadows. We will see this through.
God is with us. One with God is majority.
In our experience, the line between bravery & cowardice is so thin that you can’t see through it. The line between courage & cowardice is almost invisible. When fear & survival rules? paranoia is the result. In our case? We choose to be fearless. We are those that finally stood up to the bullies. They see courage & confuse it with the Mob. We should leave Nigeria the way it is? Are we supposed to massage your egos?
I know how much he has sacrificed for us. And he is not giving up. When things go awry, our minds quickly search for something to blame.
Sometimes, we look for someone to take the blame. Sometimes there is no one to take to fall. In his case? He is rage under control. He is above anything aggressive. They all want a pound of his flesh. He is bold, I give him that.
He defeated greed right in the belly, & they hate him for that. In a place ruled by crooks? The innocent is the one receiving the most abuse.
He sees all our efforts. He is grateful for all that we do. You know what? From here on out, let’s commit to togetherness. We are a family. Let’s stay under one roof by the fireplace, telling bedtime stories. Sometimes the miracle never comes. We don’t defy the odds. But it’s up to us to find a way. In a way, we feel like we know one another. I know it sounds crazy, but there is nowhere else I’d rather be but here, with you.
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW…………….
He is the unifier. He brought us together for a cause. He became a conversation starter. He is surrounded by haters & admirers alike. They wish to have his type of grace; just a tiny slice.
They actually wish they can be like him, & walk in his shoes. If only they could have a taste of his type of stardom, perhaps they would calm down. Much of the vitriol is born out of envy.
“Must he always be the crowd’s favorite?”
But there can only be one Peter. It’s DEEDS, not words! Good name is better than gold. I am completely thralled by the kind of man he is.
He makes himself very easy to sell. Then he has his own sound—there is a ring to it. He was something quite unexpected. He entered the scene & everything changed. Suddenly, people began to ask questions. I suppose I can have the night to myself. I will soirée & take it all in.
Peter Gregory Obi is the best shot at our survival, & he doesn’t even waver. Not for a second! He believes he can really save us. He actually does all he can. Although dirt is thrown at him, & blackmail falls on him. Still he rises beautifully & defiant to dazzle our dreams. 😭
Despite Three Years of Tinubu's Food Emergency, Nigeria hungriest ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.
In celebrating his supposed successful three years in office, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu listed some achievements in the agricultural sector, firstly, his declaration of emergency on food security in July 2023, followed by the acquisition of 2,000 tractors and 9,000 farming implements, stated as Nigeria's largest agricultural mechanisation programme.
Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria's hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria's hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure had since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026. Consequently, Nigeria is now classified among the world's most hungry or food-insecure nations in the world, with the World Bank forecasting that 33 million Nigerians could experience severe hunger.
In fact, Nigeria has the highest number of hungry people in the world.
I have always maintained that Nigeria have no reason to be seen among the hungriest nations in the world when we have fast, uncultivated land in the north, which is our greatest asset today.
We must transparently invest in Agricultural production, which will guarantee food security, but create huge employment.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Farmers must be able to return to their fields securely; students must be able to learn without fear; communities must be able to rest peacefully; and investors must regain their confidence in Nigeria.
Our strategy will be intelligence-driven, technology-enhanced, proactive, and community-focused. We will fortify our security institutions, enhance operational coordination, support our courageous personnel, and tackle the underlying causes of insecurity—name, ly poverty, unemployment, and marginalisation.
HEALTHCARE
Regarding health, Nigeria is currently ranked 157th globally, placing it in the lower echelon of healthcare worldwide. Primary healthcare, the cornerstone of our medical system, remains severely underfunctioning, al with only 10% to 20% of approximately 30,000 primary healthcare centres operational.
As a result, Nigeria suffers from one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world. Furthermore, health insurance coverage in Nigeria hovers around a mere 10%, in stark contrast to countries like Indonesia, which boast over 90% coverage. This situation is regrettable.
I pledge that within four years, our health insurance coverage will more than double to over 20%.
Within these four years, we will increase our healthcare budget to a minimum of 10% of our GDP, up from the current level of below 5%. We will invest heavily in and support our healthcare institutions to ensure the massive training of our healthcare workers, including nurses and other professionals. We shall also adequately staff our medical facilities.
In four years, there will be a fully functional and properly managed primary healthcare centre in all 8,809 wards across the nation. By the conclusion of our term, Nigeria will ensure that at least 50% of its 30,000 primary healthcare centres are fully functional, properly manned, and dedicated to serving the populace.
EDUCATION
Education will remain at the forefront of our national revival, as no country can grow beyond its educational system. Nations that have transformed successfully have done so through sustained investment in human capital. Our children are not burdens; they represent our most valuable assets. We will invest heavily in schools, teachers, technology, and vocational training, ensuring that education equips our youth not only to seek employment but also to generate it. We must pivot Nigeria from a cycle of shared poverty to one of collective prosperity through knowledge, innovation, and productivity.
HUNGER AND AGRICULTURE
In 2023, when the present government took office, Nigeria ranked 109 out of 150 nations on the Global Hunger Index.
And by 2025, our ranking further plunged to 115th, placing us among the hungriest nations globally. Currently, the World Food Programme estimates that over 35 million Nigerians will face acute hunger and food insecurity this year. This is unconscionable, given our vast expanses of uncultivated land.
Rice remains the most consumed food in Nigeria. To illustrate our level of unproductivity, let us compare our capabilities with those of leading rice-producing nations. India is the largest producer of rice, yielding approximately 200 million tonnes of unmilled rice.
Bangladesh is the third largest producer, producing around 60 million tonnes of unskilled Rice, while Vietnam is the 5thproducinges about 42 million tonnes. Let us consider the land-to-population ratios:
India has a landmass of 3,287,263 square kilometres. Distributed across its population of 1.4 billion people, this equals roughly 2. 34 Square meter per person.
Bangladesh, with a landmass of around 148,460 square kilometres and a population of 170 million, has less than 1 square metres per person.
Vietnam’s landmass covers 331,000 square kilometres. Divided by a population of 102 million, it yields about 3.25 square metres per person.
Today, I held meetings in London with some stakeholders in British politics and business community, including Lord Jonathan Marland, the Chairman of the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC).
The discussion with Lord Marland held particular importance as it centred on prospective trade opportunities, economic advancement, and the promotion of small businesses throughout Nigeria.
It is clear that fostering a robust economy and generating employment, as evidenced by rapidly growing nations like China, Indonesia, and Vietnam, necessitates a concerted effort to prioritise support for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.
As I have consistently asserted, our micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) serve as the driving force behind economic growth, and it is imperative that we provide them with vigorous support to enhance development and create significant employment opportunities, particularly within the agriculture and manufacturing sectors.
A New and revitalised Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Thirty-two months after being incharge and instead of living by his powerful words, he now dumps National Grid that has been performing abysmally under his watch.
Those were the powerful words then that inspired hope among Nigerians who longed for light in their homes, stability for their businesses, and growth for their nation. Yet, while Nigerians are still grappling with that unfulfilled, categorical electoral promise - and without clear communication on the obstacles, if any, we read of provision in 2025 budget about the ₦10 billion for solar power at Aso Rock, and in 2026 budget another humongous amount for upgrade and maintenance and now we are being scarcitically told that Presidential Villa has planned to be disconnected from the national grid to rely entirely on solar.
It is a gross neglect and deeply worrisome when the seat of power abandons the national grid. One would expect government institutions to lead efforts to strengthen and expand the grid so that other establishments, and ultimately, citizens can benefit. If those in authority disconnect themselves from the system, who then will connect the ordinary Nigerian to reliable power?
Promoting renewable energy, as solar systems do, is commendable and necessary for the future. However, this situation reflects a deeper concern: governance lacking compassion and commitment to the governed. You cannot tell the people to fast while feasting yourself, securing yourself while Nigerians remain unsecured.
Nigerians do not expect 100% fulfilment of promises, but they do expect 100% effort, accompanied by measurable improvements and clear explanations when gaps exist. Leadership must serve the people, not isolate itself from their daily struggles. -PO
The era of negotiations & pampering of terrorists is over. I expect every state governor, along with all state security chiefs & military commanders, to launch a full-scale war against terrorism. We must not provide terrorists or any violent groups a chance to survive in Nigeria.
My car left Lagos at 5am. It has just arrived Asaba after 8pm. It had no breakdowns. It made Benin at 10.30. That was a 3hour drive in the 80s. But the real news is that it took 6hours to cross Benin. From police trying to extort money to terribly bad roads detty Dec got dirty
Insecurity and the Crisis of Accountability in Nigeria
Yesterday, a disturbing video emerged from Kwara State in which suspected terrorists arrested by security forces claimed that ammunition and logistics were supplied to them by government officials. This allegation, now circulating widely, demands nothing less than an immediate, transparent, and independent investigation.
Over the years, trillions of naira and billions of dollars have been continuously collected by the government in the name of security. Yet insecurity has only expanded across the country, and in an increasingly brazen manner.
This type of news fallout goes to give credence to the much-referenced quotation of late military leader General Sani Abacha that “Any insurgency that lasts more than 24 hours, the government is involved.”
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo reinforced this point even more directly when he said: “Before I left office, Nigeria could identify and locate anyone who committed any crime anywhere in the country. Today, with technology such as drones and improved tracking tools, we can easily locate and remove them. But we are not doing that. Why are we negotiating with terrorists?”
The government controls telecommunications, intelligence systems, and even financial trails, yet kidnapping, banditry, and terrorism continue to thrive. This reality raises serious questions for those in power.
Between 2010 and 2015, under President Jonathan, Nigeria built one of the most advanced police communication and tracking infrastructures in its history. These systems were specifically designed to track criminal movements, particularly those of terrorists, monitor communications, and facilitate rapid response.
We must therefore begin to ask:
Where are these pieces of equipment, and why are they not being used? Why do terrorists’ confessions so often implicate government officials?
In cases such as the St. Mary’s Catholic School attack, about 100 children were released just days ago, and government officials celebrated. Yet no terrorist was arrested, no punishment announced, and, to this day, no clear update has been given on the more than 200 children and teachers still in captivity.
Why have we not deployed the equipment already at our disposal to trace these terrorists and rescue the remaining abducted schoolchildren?
When insecurity persists on this scale, day after day, it points either to complicity or to a failure of leadership. No society should accept either.
A government that truly makes human life a priority does not pamper insecurity; it eliminates it. The foremost responsibility of any government is the protection of life and property. Nigeria needs leaders of competence, transparency, and capacity - leaders who will end this insecurity once and for all.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
