After the ₦2 million ransom was paid to the second group, on December 2, 2025, something unexpected happened that changed everything.
The young errand boy who delivered food and ran errands for the kidnappers was given just ₦15,000 from the ₦2 million ransom. Feeling cheated and angry, he became frustrated with them. In a moment that would change our lives, he dropped the keys to our chains and handcuffs and walked away, carrying only his gun and the clothes on his back.
The moment we noticed the keys, we quietly struggled to reach them. With trembling hands and pounding hearts, we managed to unlock our chains and handcuffs. We knew this was our only chance. Without looking back, we ran into the thick forest.
For three days, we trekked through the wilderness with little strength left in us. We were exhausted, hungry, dehydrated, and terrified of being caught again. Every step felt like a battle between hope and fear.
On the third day, we finally came across a farmer and his family harvesting beans on their farm. Desperate and weak, we explained what had happened to us. Moved by our condition, the farmer immediately called his son to help us get to the nearest village, Esanlu Esa in Kogi State.
By God's grace, there was an Army base in the village. The soldiers received us, listened to our story, and provided assistance. Later that same day, they helped us reach Ado-Ekiti.
That was the day my nightmare finally ended.
After everything I endured the chains, the hunger, the beatings, the fear, and the uncertainty, I escaped the kidnappers' den alive. It is a day I will never forget for the rest of my life. 💔🙏🏽😭
In a tense live interview on Arise TV, Seyitan Atigarin confronted an APC defender, asking:
“You keep claiming the economy is better. How much is the minimum wage now, and how much does it cost to fill your car tank?”
The clip has gone viral, with many viewers left angry by the response.
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.
To all Media houses - I did not quit. I did not step down. - Correct your headline
I fought for my senatorial ticket to the very end. A flawed primary was conducted and someone else was declared. I reject the narrative that I "quit."
What I did was choose, for the greater good of the party and the nation, to accept a flawed outcome rather than tear the NDC apart when a bigger fight looms.
The 2027 presidential election is the prize that matters in this electoral cycle. I am backing the better candidate in that race. That is where my energy belongs.
Let no media house rewrite history. Correct your headlines. Posterity is watching.
If Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT and his service chiefs fail to track down and secure the release of the abducted Oyo schoolchildren and other kidnapped people, we will have no choice but to occupy Aso Rock Villa this week!
Hello Obidients, you are fighting Omo-Agege, so me that is busy courting thugs in my local government to join NDC I don’t know what I’m doing abi?
Dey play o. Dey play
Today marks another important step towards youth unity, grassroots empowerment, and a better future for Nigeria.
I am pleased to announce that The Noah Movement is ready to work hand in hand with the OBIDIENT Movement in the spirit of unity, progress, and people-centered leadership. Together, we share one common vision — empowering the youths, defending the interests of the grassroots, and building a Nigeria where every young person has a voice and an opportunity to succeed.
This alliance is beyond politics; it is a movement of hope, courage, and collective responsibility. The time has come for young people to stand together regardless of tribe, religion, or background and push for the Nigeria we all deserve.
To every supporter of The Noah Movement and the OBIDIENT family, let us remain peaceful, focused, and committed to positive change. United, our voices are stronger, and our future is brighter.
The youths are ready.
The grassroots are awake.
A new generation of leadership is rising.
