Deji Adeyanju said he is bigger than Peter Obi.
Deji finished Law School at 45 years old and is now a charge-and-bail lawyer for VDM.
Peter Obi became Governor at age 44.
One day, we will place a curse on disrespectful people like Deji Adeyanju.
The truth is, we cannot defeat this government while we remain divided and distracted.
We must unite irrespective of our religion, ethnicity, region or background. This is bigger than Peter Obi as a person. It is about Nigeria, it is about our future and the future of generations yet unborn.
We believe Mr. Peter Obi can help us achieve the Nigeria we desire. Let’s give him a chance and see what is possible.
Nigeria will be OK.
People always ask me where the tan suit came from. I think it’s time the truth finally came out.
Tune in to the series finale of Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness on @HBOMax.
The grassroots work continues across the FCT.
Today, we took the movement to Gwagwalada, Kwali and Bwari Area Councils, engaging our Area Council, Ward and Polling Unit Coordinators as we strengthen our grassroots structures and build the machinery needed for the political work ahead.
This is beyond meetings and mobilization. It is about building a people powered movement capable of taking back the future of Nigeria from those who have failed Nigerians.
From the wards to the polling units, we are organising, mobilising and preparing. The people are ready and we are ready to stand with them.
2027 is about reclaiming Nigeria.
Nigeria will be OK.
Sometimes we’re carrying burdens, weighed down by trouble, living worried. We're trying to fix it all in our own strength. The Scripture says, “Cast your burdens on the Lord, release the weight of it, and He will sustain you.” If you’ll release the burden, quit trying to figure it all out, losing sleep, letting your mind work overtime, then God will carry you.
I am an lgbo man married to a Yoruba woman! Igbos do not hate Yorubas.
Neither do Yorubas hate Igbos.
Politicians are using tribe as an excuse to cover their evil
They dont like you whether Igbo or Yoruba.
They only care about their pockets. Be wiser.
After visiting the Area Councils across the FCT and engaging directly with our people at the grassroots, one thing is becoming increasingly clear, the people are angry, concerned and ready for a change.
There is a strong desire for better leadership and a government that truly works for the people. The support for the Obi/Kwankwaso project is growing but we must not take anything for granted.
Let’s keep pushing.
Let’s keep engaging.
Let’s keep mobilising.
The journey is not easy but there is hope we cannot stop now.
Nigeria will be OK.
Empowering the People Through Purposeful Representation
Yesterday in Awka, I witnessed another inspiring demonstration of what purposeful representation can achieve through the empowerment programme organised by Professor Lilian Orogbu.
What I saw was remarkable: vehicles, tricycles, motorcycles, refrigerators, grinding machines, and other productive assets being distributed to constituents - not merely as gifts, but as tools for creating livelihoods, strengthening families, and promoting self-reliance.
Prof. @Oby_Orogbu has consistently demonstrated that public office should be about service. Her interventions in education, infrastructure, scholarships and human development reflect a commitment to leaving her constituency better than she met it.
Whenever she invites me to an event, it is almost invariably to commission a school, inspect a road, support a scholarship initiative, or participate in a project that directly benefits the people. This is the kind of public engagement we must encourage in our country.
As I said yesterday, if she has achieved this much as a first-term legislator, one can only imagine what even greater impact she can make with more experience and responsibility in the National Assembly.
I commend Professor Lilian Orogbu for her courage, commitment and compassion. I also commend the people of Awka North and South Federal Constituency for supporting a representative who continues to demonstrate that leadership is about service, sacrifice and measurable impact.
Nigeria will progress when public office becomes less about what leaders receive and more about what they give back to the people.
With clear leadership, a new Nigeria is POssible.

Credentialling in public and private endeavours, require full disclosure. No portion of critical personal or work history may be left vacant on work applications. If so, the credentials are deemed to be incomplete and therefore, unacceptable. How come INEC is bending its own rules on the omission of primary and secondary school qualifications on the EC9 Nomination Form for the APC candidate for the Nigerian presidency?
As a matter of public record, the documents published by INEC recently pursuant to its revised timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 General Election tells a sad story of public institutions becoming complicit in acts of deception. Quo Vadis INEC. Where is your independence and impartiality?
“They don’t want Peter Obi because they know that his lifestyle is the kind of leadership Nigeria desperately needs if we want to move forward as a nation.”
~~ Atiku Isah, NANS President
2027 will NEVER be a repeat of 2023. The political, structural, and lived realities have shifted decisively, and they favor Peter Obi.
In 2023, Peter Obi ran essentially alone. The Labour Party had a negligible national structure: virtually no sitting governors, senators, House of Representatives seats, and almost no local government control. He still secured over 6.1 million votes (25.4%), winning 11 states plus the FCT, finishing a close third behind Tinubu’s 8.79 million (36.61%) and Atiku’s 6.98 million (29.07%), while Kwankwaso took 1.5 million on the NNPP.
That performance, built on street credibility, the Obidient movement, and personal integrity rather than patronage machines, already upended the old APC/PDP duopoly. It was the first active three-horse race.
Fast-forward to today. The landscape is transformed.
Atiku and the ADC are a shadow of PDP’s 2023 strength. In 2023, the PDP still controlled roughly 10–13 governors plus substantial senatorial, House, state assembly, and local government structures. The ADC today holds a fraction of that with far less than 10% of comparable organizational depth. A sitting governor as Vice Presidential Candidate with the largest revenue allocation in the country got only 800k more votes than Peter Obi. Ongoing litigations and uncertainty over whether the ADC even remains firmly on the 2027 ballot further weaken the platform. Atiku is no longer running on the bigger, more entrenched vehicle he had last time.
The APC enters 2027 without the Buhari-era residual goodwill, and without the same elite cohesion (no Buhari, no El-Rufai factor). Many governors have little tangible delivery beyond high-profile projects that do not translate into broad economic relief. Hardship has intensified for ordinary Nigerians through lied subsidy removal, exchange-rate unification, soaring living costs, and elevated debt servicing. Public debt has ballooned in naira terms amid heavy borrowing; inflation peaked while the naira’s depreciation and cost-of-living pressures remain acute. A repeat of the Muslim-Muslim ticket compounds the problem for a large segment of the electorate. Sentiment-driven voters from 2023 who felt the immediate pain of reforms are far less likely to repeat their choice. Contractors, businesses, and households feeling the squeeze add further headwinds.
Obi’s position is fundamentally stronger. The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), promoted by figures such as Senator Seriake Dickson, has attracted significant names absent from Labour’s 2023 effort. Peter Obi brings an unmatched personal brand, reputation for integrity, and the Obidient base. His running mate is now Rabiu Kwankwaso, who was himself a 2023 presidential contender who mobilized the Kwankwasiyya movement nationwide and delivered 1.5 million votes concentrated in the North. This creates a broader “OK” (Obi–Kwankwaso) coalition with deeper reach, more coordination, and wider elite buy-in across regions than the solitary 2023 LP ticket.
Where Obi once had almost zero governors, senators, or local chairmen and still nearly forced a runoff dynamic, he now enters with expanded networks, bigwig support, and a more solid organizational spine.
The difference is decisive: 2023 was Obi versus entrenched machines with almost no institutional backing of his own. 2027 pairs his proven vote-pulling power and movement energy with Kwankwaso’s northern machinery, a fresher party platform, and a ruling party weighed down by three years of difficult reforms and visible public discontent.
Proper planning, credible polling-unit agents, volunteer networks, transparent fundraising, and disciplined coordination will convert that advantage into victory.
Those insisting 2027 will simply replay 2023 are ignoring the data, the economic lived experience, the ticket realignments, and the organizational upgrades. The numbers, the structures, and the mood have moved.
2027 is Peter Obi’s to win.

Building a New Nigeria Through Education, Healthcare, and Responsible Citizenship
Yesterday, I visited Faith Foundation College of Nursing Sciences, Nsukka, where I was delighted to witness the remarkable progress of the projects currently under construction.
The proprietor shared something deeply encouraging. He revealed that it was my initial support to the institution, particularly my earlier donations, that gave them the confidence to commence many of the projects now taking shape.
In continuation of my commitment to improving healthcare and supporting the training of quality health professionals, I presented the institution with an additional cheque of ₦10 million to support the ongoing projects and assured them of my continued support until the vision is fully realised.
Thereafter, I joined the participants at the 68th Annual Conference of Anglican Youths at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, Nsukka, where I encouraged the young people to embrace their responsibility in building a new Nigeria.
I reminded them that the Nigeria we desire cannot become a reality unless they actively participate in shaping its future. I urged them to reject politics based on tribe, religion, or language and instead insist on electing leaders of proven character, competence, capacity, integrity, and ethical values.
Our future depends not only on the leaders we produce but also on the standards we demand. Together, we can build the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
