during Obi's administration (2006–2014), the anambra State government funded major upgrades and construction of facilities at existing hospitals in onitsha south, e.g St. Charles Borromeo Specialist Hospital, Onitsha
Holy Rosary Specialist Hospital, Waterside. Fact check me
Peter Obi instead of fully developing public hospitals and medical centers as a sitting governor, chose to work/partner with church-owned hospitals. Emphasis on church owned. Knowing fully well that private is all about making profit.
Let's not forget that he failed to build even one public hospital in the whole of Onitsha South throughout his tenure of eight good years as a governor.
So what makes you think he cares, or can better the health sector in this country if he assumes power?
“He removed fuel subsidy and gave the proceeds to the governors.”
The opposition is deliberately conflating FAAC allocations to state governments with the governors themselves.
This is the height of political mischief, an attempt to exploit public gullibility and distort the facts for cheap political points.
FAAC allocations are statutory revenues distributed to the three tiers of government; they are not personal gifts to governors.
The Hausa people are great pillars that play a vital role in the unity and progress of Nigeria.
The Hausa language, without doubt, has flourished and has become a major language of unity and commerce across the world.
I congratulate the vast Hausa community on the occasion of Hausa Day, which is being celebrated at the historic Daura Palace today.

Nigeria Has Everything It Needs to Prosper
Yesterday, I had the privilege of joining some presidential candidates and their representatives as a guest and panellist at the 66th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Our discussion focused on how to rebuild Nigeria and make it work for its resilient, hardworking, and long-suffering people.
I reiterated my long-held view that the poverty and hunger Nigerians face today are largely the result of years of mismanagement and corruption by leaders entrusted with our commonwealth.
With our vast human and natural resources, Nigeria has no business being associated with extreme poverty and hunger. We have no business importing food when we possess enormous agricultural potential.
With the right investment, policies, and political will, agriculture can become one of Nigeria’s greatest sources of wealth. Northern Nigeria’s vast farmland, in particular, can drive major economic transformation. If countries with fewer resources have transformed their agricultural sectors, Nigeria can feed itself, create millions of jobs, and export food to the world.
On fuel subsidy removal, I remain committed to the position I took in 2023: the subsidy system was riddled with corruption. My approach was to eliminate the corruption, establish the actual subsidy cost, and then carry out a carefully planned, phased removal.
Savings from subsidy removal should have been transparently invested in clearly defined, measurable development priorities, especially agriculture, healthcare, education, poverty reduction, and security. I remain convinced that subsidy removal must deliver real benefits to Nigerians; citizens should not bear higher energy costs while the savings remain unaccounted for or fail to improve their lives. Nigeria must focus its investments on what matters most: food security, healthcare, education, infrastructure, human capital, national security, and unity.
Nigeria has all it needs to prosper. What remains is competent, honest, and purposeful leadership that puts the common good above personal interests.
A New Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK. -PO
A video circulating online allegedly shows youths in Bodinga, Sokoto State, assaulting an imam over claims that he was openly campaigning for Tinubu from the pulpit and telling worshippers that those who reject a Muslim-Muslim ticket should question their faith.
If this allegation is true, it is deeply troubling. Mosques should be places of worship, not political campaign grounds.
2027 is still ahead, but one thing is already clear: the APC and those pushing the Muslim-Muslim narrative have a long and difficult road ahead.
Amnesty International strongly condemns the chairman Kuje Area Council FCT Samuel Danjuma Shekwolo for threatening to chase out from the area anybody who will not join or vote for APC. Authoritatively saying that those who will not vote APC must leave Kuje area council is a call to violence and direct attack on freedom of association and liberty of persons.
No one has the right to make living in a place in Nigeria tied to joining or voting for one political party. The police and other security agencies must immediately halt this plan to use violence on people for their political choices.
The chairman Kuje Area Council FCT Samuel Danjuma Shekwolo is a danger to society and must be held to account for threatening violence on those who may not vote for
APC.
This plan to unleash violence on those who are not supporting APC in Kuje area council will have wider impact and will put lives at risk. People’s right to political choices must be respected and upheld.
