The President should’ve led that delegation to Oyo. The Nigerian government isn’t showing enough commitment to rescuing the kidnapped Oyo school children and teachers. It’s worrisome. Under Jonathan: 1 abduction, global outrage. Under Buhari: 10 in 8 years. Under this government: already more in 3 years.”
— Peter Obi, NOIRETV

Sad: Our Children Are Now Pawns in a Deadly Ransom Economy
It’s heartbreaking to report yet another bandit attack on a school, barely three weeks after over 40 schoolchildren and their teachers were abducted and are still languishing in the forest.
The security situation in Kogi State has taken another tragic turn with a brutal bandit attack on Government Secondary School, Iluke, in Kabba-Bunu LGA. Armed bandits disguised in military uniforms invaded the school during an ongoing WAEC examination, killed the Vice Principal, Mr. Gani Anifowose, and attempted a mass abduction of students.
Reports from the scene indicate that local security personnel and vigilantes actively resisted the attackers and frustrated their abduction attempt.
Making educational institutions soft targets is a direct assault on the nation’s future. It creates a psychological barrier to school enrolment and worsens Nigeria’s out-of-school children crisis, disproportionately forcing young girls out of formal education due to fear. There is nothing more heartbreaking for a nation than being unable to protect its children.
My heartfelt condolences go to the family of the Vice Principal, who lost his life while gallantly defending the children entrusted to his care. May God grant his soul eternal repose.-PO

This is why they’re all attacking him: Obi is down to earth.
Regardless of age, he freely associates and interacts with ordinary Nigerians.
The Obidient HQ received a delegation from the European Union Fact-Finding Mission. They were hosted by Dr. @YunusaTanko, and the engagement was highly productive, focusing on election integrity and the party’s preparedness for next year’s elections.
Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election and 2027 NDC presidential hopeful, Peter Obi, has challenged President Bola Tinubu’s administration to provide a detailed account of how borrowed funds have been utilised amid Nigeria’s rising public debt profile. Obi alleged that the country’s total debt has climbed to about N200 trillion, increasing by over N100 trillion within three years, and argued that the pace of borrowing has outstripped previous administrations.
Citing Budget Office figures, Obi claimed the federal government borrowed N11.89 trillion between January and September 2025, exceeding its projected borrowing target, while only a fraction of the funds was reportedly allocated to capital projects. He questioned the destination of the remaining funds and called for greater transparency and accountability in public finance management.
The remarks have intensified debate over government borrowing, fiscal sustainability and the balance between financing development and managing Nigeria’s growing debt burden

Contractors Payment Compliance Act
There is a need for a strong, enforceable law to be enacted that compels every tier of government (Federal, State, and Local) to pay contractors all due invoices within 30 days, with mandatory interest (at least at the prevailing Central Bank of Nigeria Monetary Policy Rate plus 5%) on any delayed payment.
Contractors will deliver on their work only for governments to delay payments for months or years, pushing many businesses into distress and liquidation. A Contractors Payment Compliance Act will make it mandatory for government to pay within 30 days, with automatic interest on delays. No more using contractors as unwilling bankers!
The persistent delay in government payment to contractors constitutes a major obstacle to economic growth, infrastructure delivery, and job creation in Nigeria.
Today, I walk through something wey words no fit fully capture.
Standing side by side with Baba Olusegun Obasanjo and my brother Aliko Dangote, I take another look at wetin vision, courage and persistence fit build.
This refinery no be small project.
E be like city inside city.
As we dey waka through the massive structures, pipelines and facilities, one thing keep ringing for my head:
One man’s dream fit become national asset.
People dey always talk about wetin Nigeria no get.
Today, I see wetin Nigeria fit become when ambition meet execution.
The love from workers and visitors wey stop to take pictures, gist and share moments with us reminded me of something important:
People still dey hungry for hope.
Not the hope wey politicians dey promise every election season.
The hope wey you can touch.
The hope wey you can see.
The hope wey stand physically before your eyes.
As Baba, Dangote and I stood together for photographs, I no just see three men.
I see three different journeys.
Different paths.
Different convictions.
But one lesson:
Never underestimate wetin one determined human being fit achieve.
Nigeria still get challenges.
Plenty.
But days like this remind me say possibility still dey alive.
And sometimes, seeing is believing.
Peter sued Deji for billions of naira for defamation. Deji disappeared and never lied against PO again.
He sued Bayo for billions for defamation. Bayo disappeared and never mentioned PO for almost eight months.
Peter Obi has again slammed a ₦5 billion defamation lawsuit against Kenneth Okonkwo.
A fly that doesn’t listen will go down into the grave with the corpse!
When you see multitude of politicians hating a particular politician especially in Nigeria where political morality is zero, you should know that that particular politician is special. Peter Obi is a special breed of politician. His type is not common in Nigeria. Let's rally round him and put him in Aso Rock come 2027. Let's see what he's made of. Go and get your PVC.
“I never expected the journey to a New Nigeria to be an easy one. The forces, who had over the years, lived off the old order, are bound to fight back, as is being experienced now… I will never give up on this journey until victory is achieved.”
— HE Peter Obi.
