MY VISIT TO PORT HARCOURT
Yesterday, after attending Daily Times at 100th in Abuja, I travelled to Port Harcourt for a rousing reception from our party members, led by our Governorship Candidate in Rivers State, Chief Barr. Dumo Lulu-Briggs. The leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) is to attend the NDC Obi-Talks, a Port Harcourt Town Hall.
The town hall provided an opportunity for an open and engaging conversation with the people. Our questions and answers centered on issues that directly affect the lives of Nigerians, including jobs, healthcare, education, security, and economic opportunity.
I reiterated my commitment to investing in the three critical areas that accelerate the development of every nation: education, healthcare, and pulling our people out of poverty.
We examined the experiences of countries that once faced challenges similar to those confronting Nigeria today, and how competent, purposeful, and compassionate leadership transformed their fortunes.
From Bangladesh and its remarkable progress in rice production, to Indonesia and the growth of its SMEs, and India’s efforts at pulling millions of its citizens out of poverty, the lesson is clear: countries succeed when leadership is competent, accountable, focused, and committed to the welfare of the people.
My greatest elation today came from the renewed commitment I saw among the good people of Rivers State to participate massively in the 2027 elections and, more importantly, to ensure that their votes are counted and the people’s mandate is respected.
Let it be recorded that this time around, the people of Rivers State will vote, and their votes MUST count.
Only leaders who emerge from a free, fair, and credible electoral process can truly be called Excellencies. Rivers State can and should set the pace for excellent, free, fair, and credible elections in 2027.
I sincerely thank our Vice Presidential Candidate, His Excellency Senator Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso; our host and Governorship Candidate in Rivers State, Chief Barr. Dumo Lulu-Briggs; his team; the Rivers State Working Committee of the NDC; the National Working Committee led by our National Chairman, Senator Cleopas Moses Zuwoghe; and all our friends, supporters, and well-wishers who joined us for this important engagement.
Our task is to rescue Nigeria, rebuild our institutions, and restore hope to our people.
A New Nigeria is Possible, and Nigeria will be OK. -PO
I dare say Peter Obi is more popular than Wike in Rivers State. What a bold move to start from the state of a man who said his life is over if Obi wins the Presidential elections.
@HAHayatu@grok The journalist has little or no knowledge about anything, even with Ai and free internet he couldn't even research before interviewing, he would've given him the accurate size of the Sambisa if not that he's there to massage the ego of Apc and his money bag journalism.
I heard a dream and Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not on the ballot of 2027 presidential election
It was between Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi
Fellow Nigerians rejoice, Apc is coming to an end.
Do not be afraid to sow without immediately seeing the fruits. The sowing belongs to you; the growth belongs to God. No gesture carried out in the name of Christ is useless.
29,000 out of that 30k is likely government official car purchases
Yesterday someone told me Nigeria has only 250k Netflix paid subscribers I didn't believe it. Turns out it's even less than 200k🤣. South Africa has 1-1.5M. we are in apocalyptic poverty.
I love Anambra people for their kindness, but truth be told the whole of Onitsha has no pavement in 2026, 4 - 6 storey buildings without elevators or water system
Money is supposed to actually make life easier but Anambra money seems to be otherwise abi the money na audio?
