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.
Earlier today, Peter Obi met with representatives from several diplomatic missions, including the British High Commissioner, and the embassies of Germany, Canada, and France.
Good news: South East Maths Olympiad winners Egejurum Onyedikachi, Onwubiko Chimdiebube and Don-Anele Munachimso have now been invited to participate in International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale happening in Rome from July 2nd - 8th.
They will be competing with students from 153 countries.
I'm confident that they will bring back the Gold medals from each category. We will shine in he world stage.
Their teachers will be going alongside them too.
The cost of this trip for all of them including registrations, flights, tours, hotels etc will be £32,200.
What should we do?
Since I made this post, about ₦530, 500 has been raised through the Nigerian account.
Before the post, there was only ₦500,000 in the management account. That means the support that has come in since then has made a real difference 🙏🏽.
You can also see what has been raised through the GoFundMe when you open the link.
Please keep supporting. Every contribution matters.

I really want the football world to recognize my friend IFUNANYANWANGENE @nanyah_music who lost her life yesterday due to a snake bite. She performed both Manchester United song and Champions League song. She also got a gig from @Heineken to perform in the next season @ChampionsLeague ads after the viral Champions League song that went viral across all social media platforms.
CHS and the entire catholic TWITTER mourns
This was not the plan dear Nanyah
But our hope is that you are with the choir of angels.
May our Lady continue to intercede for you and may you find rest in the bosom of our Lord.
Rest on baby girl. May flights of angels lead you on.
