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.
@victorawa14320@frmarcellinus every well meaning Nigerian and anti rigging crusader shud team up with neighbors n like minds in the same polling unit..make sure you all go with GOOD WALKING STICKS that's all. move around with the WALKING STICKS..the thugs can't operate when they know people are ready for them
In 2023, the Kwankwasiya movement under the Rabiu Kwankwaso ideology and the NNPP exported ballot boxes and result sheets in their thousands to INEC collation centers in Kano State.
The videos are all over social media.
They did not just escort ballot papers, they turned up in their numbers, and stayed up till past midnight to ensure their votes were counted.
We need a replica of Kwankwasiya movement round the 36 states of Nigeria in 2027.
Nigeria will be OK ✌️
@BOGbadams ..i keep saying this, on election day, my friends and i will all go with our voters cards, water bottles, comfy running shoes and GOOD "walking sticks" we are going to only return home after we get a snap of the final form at the ward collation center (even if it's the next day)
Open Apology Letter to the Obidient Movement
My Dear Obidient Family, I come before you today with a heavy heart, deep humility, and no excuses. Some time ago, in a moment of frustration and immaturity, I wrote and released a resignation letter as Director of Mobilization. In that letter, I allowed deep frustration & personal emotions to cloud my judgment. I made statements that subtly and unnecessarily dragged Peter Obi, a man I still respect for his vision, integrity, and sacrifice for this nation. That was wrong. It was childish, and beneath the standard I should have upheld, especially as someone who once held a leadership position in this movement.
I take full responsibility. No one forced me to write it. No one edited it. It came from me, and it was a mistake. I deleted the letter afterwards, but I know deletion does not erase the damage, the disappointment, or the loss of trust many of you felt. I understand why some of you no longer respect me the way you once did. You had every right to feel let down.
To Peter Obi himself (fondly called PO): Sir, I am sincerely sorry. My words were not a true reflection of the values of sacrifice, accountability, and constructive criticism that you preach. I failed in that moment. To every single Obidient, the ones who stayed grinding, the ones who defended the vision even when it was tough, the ones who felt betrayed by my actions, I am deeply sorry. You are the real heroes of this movement. Many of you are young people full of hope and fire for a better Nigeria. You didn’t deserve to see internal cracks turned into public drama. I let you down.
I am not writing this because I want something or a position in the movement as I’m enjoying private life. I am writing it because it is the right thing to do. Leadership is not only about when the road is sweet and smooth; it is also about owning up when you mess up. I own this fully. I am committed to rebuilding trust through consistent actions, not just words. But I also know trust is not demanded, it is earned back slowly, if at all. Thank you for reading this.
Whether you accept my apology or not, I respect your feelings and your right to hold me accountable. The love I have for a better Nigeria has not changed. You all know me. My respect for the Obidient spirit remains. I am sorry truly.
With humility and hope for forgiveness,
Your brother in this struggle,
Morris Monye.
Oya come let’s hug. 😊
@iamHSDickson NDC should capitalize on the fall out of the shambolic APC primaries and consider micro zoning across the country. consider candidates from areas perceived to be marginalized by APC godfathers and support them for consensus arrangement. Just ensure a just and transparent process.
I ask you, my people, to empower me as your president and commander-in-chief. I will be in charge. I have the requirements for correct leadership: character, competence, commitment, compassion, hard work, honesty, humanity, and humility.
Dear Nigerians,
PAY ATTENTION. Because, we have a lot of work to do. The results of several polls conducted on the streets are shocking.
Nigerians are experiencing what we call “Voter Fatigue.” Many are tired of the system, they have logged out mentally & physically. The APC are aware of this, & they are capitalizing on it.
Bola Tinubu is getting a lot of sympathy votes. Given the choice to choose between Asiwaju & Atiku, many Nigerians are choosing Agbado.
This is why the APC are fighting tooth & nail to make sure that Peter Obi is not on the ballot.
You don’t see them attacking Atiku. They have done their polls & findings. Peter Obi is leading among the trio. Between himself & Asiwaju, he leads, but this time, it's with a narrow margin.
Voter Fatigue is the major reason for this trend.
People are tired of voting in a system that always changes for the worse. The APC has done a lot of work out there. And if the trend continues, it will play to their advantage.
Their mobilization is second to none. We have to leave the social media & take the message to the streets. Nigerians are experiencing Voter Fatigue, & it’s worse than Voter Apathy. People are tired of voting. They see Tinubu & Atiku as a case of the lesser evil. If both are presented without Obi, they will choose Asiwaju.
Peter Obi won the last election hand’s down. The APC saw his numbers & panicked. Then they started their campaigns from day one.
They are leaving nothing to chance. Their first strategy is to keep Obi off the ballot If that fails, they will move to Plan B. Plan B is vote buying, heavy mobilization, INEC, & the Judiciary.
PLEASE, WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO!
We must stage a “10 Million Man March” this time. Our mobilization must be 5x bigger than 2022/2023. We must knock on doors, educate & sensitize the market women & transporters.
Things are not what they seem. We have no one to convince here on Twitter. People’s minds are made up. The work is out there on the streets.
People who are hungry will not necessarily vote WISELY. They will vote for money & rice this time. The APC has done their homework.
Let’s start ours today. GET TO WORK! 🙏🙏
@_Nsznn every voter carry a "walking stick" to the polling unit, 2 × 2 model of walking stick is the best, after that, we all escort the results to the coalition centre and we sleep there, we only leave when we have copies of the correct results duly signed at the ward coalition centres
@Nedumcity_ the sad reality is that the state govt will most likely arrest this man for "vandalism" than even making any attempt to fix this structure which is a huge risk for the pupils of the school..
Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, SAN, a law professor from University of Jos, was nominated by President Bola Tinubu on Oct 9, 2025, confirmed by Senate Oct 16, and sworn in as INEC Chairman on Oct 23, 2025, succeeding Mahmood Yakubu.
INEC's April 10, 2026 statement by Chief Press Secretary Adedayo Oketola explicitly denies the Chairman owns or operates any X account, calling claims "baseless" and citing impersonators.
The joashamupitan account, created 2022, links to Amupitan's Yahoo email (est. 2006), phone numbers (registered 2009-2011 under his name), UNIJOS email for 2FA, WhatsApp, and OPay account—all matching his verified identity per public digital records and archives.
Fact-based conclusion: The account's two-decade digital footprint aligns precisely with Amupitan's personal details, contradicting the official denial.
Also, Peter Obi is not a “lesser evil”.
I am again begging us all to have moral clarity.
The man who said if anyone finds N5 that he embezzled should come forward and he’d leave the race:
That man is not a “lesser evil” I am begging you guys.
The man who has donated more money to education and health from his own purse more than the CapEx for health by the government is not a “lesser evil”.
The man who left no debt but actual surplus in the treasury of the state he governed is not a “lesser evil”.
The man who has successfully without any corruption led as:
Chairman of Fidelity Bank Plc
Director of Fidelity Bank Plc
Chairman of Next International Nigeria Ltd
Chairman of Guardian Express Mortgage Bank Ltd
Chairman of Future View Securities Ltd
Chairman of Paymaster Nigeria Ltd
Chairman of Chams Nigeria Plc
Director of Chams Nigeria Plc
Director of Data Corp Ltd
Director of Card Centre Plc
Independent Non-Executive Director of Nigeria LNG Ltd:
Is not a “lesser evil”.
The man who went to Egypt to study how to make power constant for you is not a lesser evil.
The man who said he wouldn’t tax you unless he has prospered you isn’t a lesser evil.
The “lesser evil” bifurcation came when we wanted to choose between a corrupt incompetent Buhari and a corrupt incompetent Atiku.
I don’t really like politics Twitter. But I’m saying this so we all have moral clarity.
I am begging us all. Please, let’s dump these contrarian virtue signaling.
I am begging.
We are up against vicious people. These are the people who have witnessed around 5 generals and colonels die and nothing is moving them.
I am begging you all, please.
Yes, the account joashamupitan existed on X. It belonged to Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan (current INEC chairman, account ID 1567086242164101120, created September 2022). He changed the username to Sundayvibe00 today (now protected and labeled "Parody Account") after 2023 pro-APC posts resurfaced. X username history is verifiable via the account ID.
@Admiral_Cyborg ..i keep saying this, this man is not hustling for re-election, he wants absolute dictatorship..he wants us to become like North Korea where only 1 man decides everything..the APC slaves don't mind as long as dey can get rice while singing/standing "on the mandate"
