20-10-20 #WeWontForgetOurHeroes

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Yesterday, I had the honor of visiting Benue State, traveling from Makurdi, the state capital, to Gboko, where I paid a courtesy call on the revered Tor Tiv. I am profoundly grateful to His Majesty for the gracious welcome and for the opportunity to discuss the development, peace, and welfare of our people.

I particularly commend the Catholic Bishop of Gboko, Most Rev. Father William Avenya, for his steadfast dedication to education. During my visit to the College of Nursing Sciences established under his leadership, an institution I have supported since its inception, I pledged an additional ₦10 million to help strengthen its operations. Supporting education and healthcare is an investment in our collective future.

We then proceeded to Yelwata, where we stood in solidarity with the people and families affected by the tragic massacre. The pain endured by these families, especially the children who lost their parents, is profoundly distressing. To address some of their immediate needs, I committed ₦5 million for the construction of a borehole to improve access to clean water, as well as ₦10 million to support the education of children orphaned by the massacre.

No child should be forced to let the tragedy that has affected their family determine the course of their future. Although no financial contribution can restore the lives lost or remove the suffering endured by their loved ones, we have a responsibility to do everything within our power to renew hope, preserve dignity, and create opportunities for those affected. Education must continue to serve as a bridge to a brighter future for these children.

The day concluded with a town hall meeting held as part of our continuing engagements across the country. I was joined by my elder brother and NDC Vice Presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as well as other candidates of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Benue State.

These engagements enable us to hear directly from our people, gain a clearer understanding of their concerns, and consider practical responses to the challenges facing our communities and nation. We are firmly of the view that leadership begins with listening and must ultimately be judged by the meaningful difference it makes in people's lives.

I remain firmly persuaded that leadership exists to serve. We must increase our investment in education, healthcare, security, and human development. Our goal must be to build a country in which every Nigerian, regardless of personal circumstances or place of birth, can live with dignity and realize their full potential.

I would like to express my appreciation to the Governor of Benue State, His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia. Before my visit, I sent him a message, and he personally returned my call to assure me that I would receive a warm welcome in the state. This exemplifies the true essence of statesmanship: placing humanity and mutual respect above political differences.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the people of Benue State for their warm reception and hospitality. May God continue to bless Benue State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

A NEW DIMENSION OF TOXIC POLITICS IN NIGERIA

The new dimension of toxic politics that Nigeria has developed since 2025,

I arrived at the airport at 7 a.m. this morning to board my flight to Enugu. There, I saw the Nigeria Under-17 girls' team, which had just arrived and was preparing to board its vehicle into town.

With genuine joy and enthusiasm, I asked my Protocol Officer, Jackie Wayas, to find out whether I could greet and welcome the team. I was informed that officials of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) had refused and had requested that I not approach them because, if I did, they would all lose their jobs.

Regrettably, this is not the first time I have been subjected to such treatment. On March 25, 2025, I was in Uyo for the World Cup qualifier. The governor warmly received me and welcomed me at the VIP stand. Following the match, other government officials went to greet the players, but I was again prevented from doing so. I was told by the officials that they would lose their jobs if I proceeded.

It is deeply troubling to witness the extent of toxic politics into which our nation has descended since 2025. Each year appears to bring further deterioration. This reflects how deeply Nigeria has been affected.

The new Nigeria we aspire to build must have no room for hostility, intimidation, or discrimination, regardless of political affiliation. It must be a Nigeria in which unity, mutual respect, and our shared humanity take precedence over political differences.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY

Good day, Mr President.

I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.

I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.

Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.

Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.

The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@tutututuulip And of course, all you have to do to deserve such a man is to just *exist* because posessing female parts apparently makes you special.

Bunch of awful, mediocre, self-immersed, boring people who have never been told that you actually need to work to get whatever it is you want.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

As for me, whenever Nigeria calls me, I will answer. It's my home and there's nothing I can do about it. It's a trash country, but it's my trash country. I don't have another one. But having said that, I won't be jumping up and being a hero like I did in 2023. Not because I have a problem with lighting myself on fire and suffering alone, but because I saw firsthand that it does not work.

You people want heroes, but heroes are not what you need. All a hero is in Nigeria is a dead guy that becomes a symbol for late night igbo-smoking and rhythmic swaying to a fake-deep Burna Boy tribute soundtrack. A hero is a completely useless thing in Nigeria. What you people need is a full-spectrum nationwide rebellion that is so vicious, bloody and violent that it will alter the entire course of West African history.

What you don't need is another individual hero who will end up dead or in jail so that you will tweet "Free XYZ" or enthusiastically smoke igbo while singing along to the posthumous Burna Boy tribute song. So never ask me to "come back and lead" anything. When I come back, it will be the same way I left Abuja - arm in arm with thousands of my contemporaries marching down Shehu Shagari Way in unison.

It won't be to become yet another useless Nigerian hero symbol that cannot change the price of garri in the market.

Celebrating My Eldest Brother at 75

Today, 30th August 2026, I celebrate my eldest brother, Dominic Ositadimma Obi, who turns 75. I celebrate him not merely because he is my elder brother or because of his age, but because he is an exemplary human being.

When I was Governor of Anambra State for eight years, he never came to my office or the Governor’s Lodge for a day seeking favours, as many might have expected. He is a planner and contractor who builds homes for people, yet not once did he ask me for a government contract.

Whenever we met, he would warmly embrace me and tell me that he was fine. He would then solemnly remind me to keep doing what I promised the people and never bring a bad name to the family and my community. He would tell me that whatever difficulties he was going through, many others were worse off, and that I should do my best for society.

I later came to understand that this was not peculiar to him alone. My family members had actually held a meeting and resolved that none of them would take advantage of my position as Governor. They decided that whatever good name I was building for the Obi family and Agulu must be protected. The same principle extended to my children.

Today, at 75, my beloved brother remains deeply concerned about Nigeria. Whenever we speak, he is full of prayers and good wishes. He constantly reminds me that if I have the opportunity to serve Nigeria, I should do so with honesty, integrity, and the interest of the people at heart.

Brother Dom, I thank God for the gift of your life and for the example you have set for our family. Your integrity, humility, contentment, and sense of responsibility are qualities worthy of celebration.

May God Almighty, who has graciously been with you all these years, grant you good health, His abundant grace, and blessings.

Happy 75th birthday, my dearest brother. -PO

I hear you breathe a single bad word about Osagyefo Nkrumah, you are my enemy forever.

It's very simple.

Senior Man, Mr Peter Obi, today again paid visit to Paradise College of Health Science, Technology and Administration, and also Fountain of Hope Orphanage in Uke, Nasarawa State.

When a sitting vice president who's also a revered & prominent Yoruba man exercised his right to a presidential ambition, it wasn't Obidients who distributed this poster across the SW.

They rubbished a sitting VP because he dared contest against their lord voldemort

[KWEKU THE HUSTLER @Urchilla01]

Nigetians should be aware that the @benuestategovt under governor @HyacinthAlia is plotting to bring harm to H.E. Peter Obi while he's on a visit to IDP camps in the state.

H.E. Peter Obi @PeterObi remains a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with the constitutional right of free movement and association. It is also the duty of governor @HyacinthAlia to offer protection to indigenes and visitors in the state. This APC governor superintends a state that has turned into a gigantic IDP camp, but still prioritises partisan politics over the lives and wellbeing of the people under his leadership.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Yesterday, I travelled from Abuja to Jos, Plateau State, to condole with and show solidarity with Governor Caleb Mutfwang and the people of Plateau State over the recent senseless killings in the Bokkos area of the State.

From the state capital, I traveled to Bokkos and spent time with the victims, the displaced children and others.

What has happened in these communities is very saddening and utterly unacceptable.

Nigerians should not be killed or forced to flee their homes when we are not at war. Every life is precious, and no Nigerian, regardless of where they live should have to live in fear or uncertainty.

My deepest condolences go to the families and communities who have suffered tragic losses. No words can truly capture the pain and devastation that such senseless violence brings.

My heart is with the people of Bokkos, the displaced children, women, and entire communities, during this difficult time.

Earlier, the Obidient Movement had built a borehole to provide clean water for the IDP camp and the community, and we continued the support yesterday with the sum of 7.5 million naira to help in providing facilities for the displaced children, provide continuous education and on going needs of those affected.

Now, more than ever, leadership and compassion are essential. I stand in solidarity with Plateau State and remain committed to supporting all efforts toward peace, justice, and healing.

May the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace, and may the people find strength, comfort, and unity as they rebuild their lives.

A new Nigeria is POssible!

It's pretty obvious that @elonmusk has intentionally refused to attend to @HundeyinDave's complaints about his h@cked @DavidHundeyin account. That man pays a heavy subscription fee and has over a million followers, yet he gets no protection, probably because his recent political stand doesn't sit well with the people at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
