Dear Obidients,
NDC is more like a coalition of the Obidient movement, the Kwankwasiyya group, and the Dickson bloc. We already have the presidential candidate, and the Kwankwasiyya group has the vice-presidential slot, so I believe it is only fair to allow the Dickson bloc to occupy some key positions, especially in the FCT.
Power is negotiable, and dialogue is needed for us to move forward. If you fail to secure a position as an Obidient, Kwankwasiyya member, or even as part of the Dickson bloc, accept it in good faith. The party is superior to individual interests, and balance is necessary.
Politics is all about give and take.
This is my personal opinion.
think we’re mixing up the facts here. There’s a difference between herdsmen and bandits. If they were truly bandits, you wouldn’t even get close to them. Leave those people with their sheep. Even your well-armed soldiers run from bandits, let alone ordinary hunters.
I suggest you use them to get information about the terrorists and free them without no repercussions
Please release these children for the sake of our shared humanity
I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land.
I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. When I first began making that statement, some of these children were not even born. This is a classic example of how the abuse of governance and society today can produce devastating consequences long after the abusers are gone.
It is on the same line that I argue that the loans our leaders take today will hurt our children in the future, as many of them will mature for repayment and consequences long after we are gone.
To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children - sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them. In every one of them, you will find reflections of your own children, your own family, and your own humanity.
No grievance, no hardship, no justification can ever outweigh the sanctity of a child’s life and innocence. Whatever path has led to this moment, there is still room for remorse, for humanity, and for a change of heart.
I therefore appeal to your sense of mercy: release these children immediately. Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families. -PO

We are working very hard to making sure that about 40 senators who lost primary election are reinstated while those won will be dismissed because they are not qualified real APC members—— Akpabio
Breaking: Senate President Godswill Akpabio and APC senators are reportedly making moves to reclaim Senate tickets for former lawmakers such as Ovie Omo-Agege and Ned Nwoko in their respective constituencies.
If successful, the development could trigger fresh political realignments, particularly within the NDC, where some APC primary losers were earlier accommodated with tickets. Their possible return to the APC may create uncertainty within the opposition camp and raise questions about the wisdom of offering tickets to politicians whose loyalty remained divided.
Political observers say the situation underscores the risks of building a coalition around displaced aspirants rather than committed party loyalists.
