"Ali Modu Sheriff Started the Boko Haram in Borno State. He provided funds & had a governorship reelection deal with them in 2003--Femi Falana challenged him to Sue.

[Dr Yunusa Tanko @YunusaTanko]

This is Hajiya Naja’atu Muhammad from kano publicly alleged that Ali Modu Sheriff was involved in the creation of Boko Haram. Whether people agree with her or not, those statements are on record.

His Excellency Peter Obi was the only governor who criminalized terrorism irrespective of religion or ethnicity.

Regarding the claim that Peter Obi chased Northerners out of Anambra, His Excellency Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has publicly stated that the allegation is false and should not be attributed to H E Peter Obi.

Public discussions should be based on verified facts rather than repeating allegations that have been disputed or are unsupported by credible evidence.

Greetings, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT.

This is a kind reminder that you are yet to act on our demands.

Your Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, who is being accused of massive corruption, is still holding sway in that position.

Worsening Leadership Crisis in the Country Now Evident

The ultimate cost of uncompassionate leadership, as evident in the country today, is turning citizens’ frustration into deep, volatile resentment. It is even more traumatising when the leader presiding over that collapse demonstrates clear incapacity and a lack of compassion.

The government and people of Oyo State, more than 50 days after the abduction of the schoolchildren without any tangible effort toward their rescue, should rightly feel bitter and abandoned.

Since this unfortunate incident, I have spoken publicly about it twice, including appealing directly to the kidnappers to release the children. I also called the Governor twice to assure him of my solidarity, understanding that this issue is not just an Oyo problem but a Nigerian tragedy.

On Friday, July 3, I decided to travel to Ibadan with Prof. Pat Utomi to express solidarity with the Governor, as more than 50 days had elapsed without the rescue of the children and with numerous others still being held captive across the country.

During our two-hour meeting, I shared my experience in addressing insecurity as Governor of Anambra State. I recalled how President Olusegun Obasanjo, and later Presidents Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, would personally call us several times whenever we faced major security challenges.

But, to my utmost shock, I discovered that, contrary to my assumption that they had been in regular communication over the matter, Governor Seyi Makinde had not received a single call from President Bola Tinubu.

I remember the only case of a school kidnapping during President Goodluck Jonathan’s era - the Chibok girls. It drew local and international attention. Even though the security agencies provided almost daily updates on their efforts, Nigerians and the rest of the world were outraged that it took President Jonathan over two weeks to call the then State chief Executive.

I vividly recall that the current President, Bola Tinubu, led a team of vocal critics who called for President Jonathan’s immediate resignation over the incident, citing his delay in calling the state governor. That call for IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION should actually be the case in this matter.

Today, under President Tinubu, there have been more than 13 school kidnappings, yet the President has found it difficult to call the affected state’s chief executive after more than 50 days (over 7 weeks). This is outrageous. I suspect the same may also have been the case in other school kidnapping incidents.

I cannot imagine any issue more important than the lives of our kidnapped children, their teachers, and the many other Nigerians being held captive across the country. It is now an indisputable fact that governance has completely collapsed under this administration.

The situation reflects a total lack of capacity and compassion, compounded by glaring insensitivity.

Amid such an apparent display of incompetence, the President should either resign or, at the very least, abstain from seeking re-election for the sake of our dear country. This call is patriotic, not political. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Chidi Anselm Odinkalu, CGoF @ChidiOdinkalu]

In his haste to accomplish the kinds of things no judge can do - unless he is corrupt - Isa Hamma Dashen purported to set aside his own judgment of 10 December 2025 on the belated application of a person whom he was not prepared to make party to the case.

He should be made to disclose how he was procured to do that because that is not judging. That is vandalism.

https://t.co/ZJrMG9JjwO

[Chidi Anselm Odinkalu, CGoF @ChidiOdinkalu]

To understand how scandalously corrupt this ruling of 26 June by Isa Dashen of @FederalHigh is, you have to read his original judgment of 10 Dec 2025.

On pages 20-21 of that judgment, the judge determined that the Peace Movement Party (PMP) did not arise in the case & was both "belated" & an "impermissible afterthought".

On the issue of logo, he held explicitly that the Constitution "does not empower INEC to reject a logo merely because it resembles that of an existing party."

5 months later, the same judge empowered himself to reject a party merely because a person not party to the case alleged that its logo resembled that of a non-existing party.

Grand Corruption: Nigeria’s Greatest Threat.

The recent report from the IMF consultation further raises concerns about the scale of grand corruption under the Tinubu government. The IMF now reveals that about N8.83 trillion in expenditure undertaken in 2025 is not reflected in the budget. This expenditure is not budgeted and is therefore not under legislative oversight or administrative scrutiny. This is horrible.

N8.83 trillion is as follows:

1.About 2% of our GDP.

2.Over 35% of Nigeria’s 2025 N23.96 trillion capital project budget. In fact, the amount is more than the actual released capital funding for 2025.

https://t.co/Hta3LViCB8 is more than the entire combined budget for education (N3.52 trillion) and health (N2.38 trillion).

If such an amount is properly used and accounted for, it could transform Nigeria’s public health and education sectors. It could create hundreds of cottage industries that can provide jobs for thousands of graduates and build a solid foundation for economic development. But we cannot account for it. This is not an isolated incident.

This is a pattern of grand corruption that has become part of this administration.
We have a lot to worry about regarding the state of corruption under President Tinubu. The sort of corruption that is ingrained in total disregard of elementary rules of public finance management poses a grave danger to national security and the stability of the Nigerian state. The capture of the Nigerian state and the plunder of its resources are actions that undermine the basis of state stability and deepen poverty and state failure.

This recent revelation proves that the APC government is grossly corrupt, incompetent, and insensitive. With the growing poverty and the urgent need for significant upgrades to social and physical infrastructure, a responsible and responsive government would ensure that N8.83 trillion is prudently utilised to address these gaps. But not the Tinubu administration.

A few days ago, I called on President Tinubu to resign from office for incompetence, lack of capacity, lack of compassion, and failure to improve on his campaign promises. Some people thought perhaps the call was excessive. But with the daily revelations of pervasive corruption in this administration and its total lack of commitment to the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens, the only reasonable action is for President Tinubu to resign from office. The collapse of elementary forms of due process under Tinubu and the increased evidence of rampant looting of Nigerian public finances reinforce the need for greater accountability. It is now time for Nigerian citizens to rise within the law and hold this administration to account.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Who is an Obidient?

An Obidient is any well-meaning Nigerian from all walks of life, all tribes, all faiths, all regions, who desires a new and better-working Nigeria. It is not limited to those shouting “We are Obidient” on social media. It includes the quiet teacher in Kano, the farmer in Zamfara, the trader in Onitsha, the doctor in Lagos, the student in Maiduguri, the civil servant in Abuja, and every citizen tired of business-as-usual.

Obidient is a movement of conscience, character, and competence. It is bigger than any individual, any handle, or any tribe.

Its goal is simple: deliver purposeful leadership through the presidency of Mr. Peter Obi in 2027 so Nigeria can finally work for its people.

The road to 2027 will not be easy. Those who benefit from the old Nigeria know they cannot stop Peter Obi from being on the ballot. So they have shifted to 4 main distractions:

1. Infiltration: Ex-Obidients to spread insults, tribal bigotry, and attacks on well-meaning Nigerians, also attack Peter Obi’s character and integrity.

2. Internal Party Crisis: Using NDC Party officials, candidate lists, and campaign council list issues to cause unnecessary drama.

3. Legal & Institutional Harassment: Court cases, arrests of allies, and attempts to distract us from issue-based campaigns.

4. Media Propaganda: Malicious stories against Obi’s family, associates, issues around fundraising, and fake links to scandals or security threats

We see every trap clearly. Now we respond with wisdom, discipline, unity, and unstoppable youth energy.

What We Do as Obidients

Remember Who We Are
We are well-meaning Nigerians fighting for a better Nigeria through the presidency of Peter Obi. This is our identity: no tribalism, no hate, only hope and solutions.

1. Stay Locked on the Goal:
Primary mission: Make Peter Obi President in 2027.
Secondary mission: Support good candidates who share the same values. No distraction.

2. Stop Energy Wastage:
No more brother-against-brother quarrels. Save your fire for the real enemies of progress. Quarreling is their weapon; unity is ours.

3. Sell Peter Obi Everywhere:
Take our beautiful product (competence + integrity + a working Nigeria) to every corner: to campuses, markets, TikTok, streets, villages, and cities. Market it with creativity and passion!

4. Every Obidient Matters:
No one is bigger than the other. The best Obidient is not the loudest complainer; it is the one bringing real solutions to any problem that can block our 2027 success.

5. Respect Party Supremacy Through Our Leader:
We stand with Peter Obi. What is comfortable for him in the party is comfortable for us. If the party deviates, we call it back respectfully. Peter Obi’s presidency is NON-NEGOTIABLE.

6. Control the Narrative:
Organize our facts. Debunk every propaganda immediately on social media and offline. Build strong voices that replace lies with truth, data, and evidence.

7. Prepare for Ground Victory:
Build polling unit volunteers and vote-protection teams across all 180,000+ polling units. This is not only an online movement; it is a serious ground movement. Let’s get ready starting today.

Our Winning Strategy for 2027

a. Massive voter registration
b. Issue-based campaigns on jobs, security, education, and the economy
c. Strong grassroots structures in every ward and polling units
d. Smart national alliances.

Fellow well-meaning Nigerians, this is not about one man. It is about rescuing our country. Peter Obi is currently the best vehicle for that rescue. Let us protect the movement by protecting our values. We will win by matching distraction with focus, division with unity, and propaganda with truth.

We deeply value the friendship and strategic alliance with Vice President Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and the entire Kwankwasiyya movement. Their discipline, grassroots strength, and shared commitment to good governance add tremendous value and numbers to the actualization of Peter Obi’s presidency.

Yours, Focused Obidient

GANG OF THIEVES: The IMF has revealed that @officialABAT and his gang of thieves cannot properly account for public spending worth about 2% of Nigeria’s entire GDP, roughly ₦8.8 TRILLION.

UN’s Warning on Northern Nigeria’s Food Crisis

The recent report from the UN about the impending food crisis in northern Nigeria is disheartening, more so because it is avoidable. Northern Nigeria is the nation’s food basket, and nothing short of incompetent and irresponsible leadership could have created this tragedy.

In a recent post on my X handle, I urged our national leaders to reassess their priorities and address the dire circumstances facing our citizens. I called on the Federal Government and state leaders to move beyond mere political discourse and make transparent, upfront investments to secure agricultural corridors, support smallholder farmers with accessible resources, and collaborate vigorously with organisations like the World Food Programme (WFP) to bridge funding gaps before this crisis escalates and claims more lives, especially those of children.

A prosperous Nigeria, free from hunger, is achievable, but it requires leadership that prioritises the welfare of its citizens.

I am deeply troubled by the latest report from the UN’s World Food Programme, indicating that northern Nigeria is experiencing its most severe hunger crisis in nearly a decade. Over 17 million people in nine northern states face crisis-level hunger, with more than 35 million Nigerians nationwide at risk during this challenging season.

The fact that over 10,000 residents of Borno State have entered “catastrophic” hunger conditions represents not only immense human suffering but also a profound national failure. Nigeria should not rank among the world’s hungriest nations, given its abundant resources, particularly the vast stretches of fertile, uncultivated land in the North.

This food crisis stems from two critical structural failures: insecurity and farmers’ inability to access their lands. Banditry and insurgency have turned agrarian communities into displacement zones. Until we secure our agricultural areas, we cannot secure our future.

Our global hunger ranking continues to worsen because of our proclivity for adopting superficial measures that do little to boost agricultural productivity or transform rural infrastructure. We need to adopt policies that address the structural barriers to agricultural productivity and transform our land resources into agro-industrial output. We can overcome hunger and poverty if we urgently shift our focus from consumption to production.

A New Nigeria, devoid of hunger and mass poverty - a Nigeria where we transform our arable land into productive acreage - remains attainable, but it demands leadership that prices the lives and livelihoods of the Nigerian people above grandiose road dualisation projects.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

What Truly Should Be Our Priority Now as Leaders of a Nation?

This question has become necessary, given where we are today as a nation and where we are supposed to be.
While completing my INEC nomination form yesterday, Section E, Question 1 caught my attention. It asks: “Have you ever been adjudged a lunatic or been declared a person of unsound mind?” The answer is either Yes or No. That question got me thinking: Can we, as the political leaders of today’s Nigeria, truly say we are exhibiting the characteristics of a sound mind?

When Nigerians, including children and security personnel, are being abducted into the bushes, citizens cannot travel safely on our highways, several million Nigerians are uncertain where their next meal will come from, and several billions are being siphoned frivolously through non-existent agencies and projects, should politics really be our primary preoccupation?

A sound-minded leadership would have declared these existential challenges a national emergency and immediately mobilised all relevant institutions, security agencies, experts, community leaders, and other critical stakeholders to confront them with urgency and resolve. At a moment like this, the survival, security, and stability of Nigeria must take precedence over every other consideration. This is a time for decisive action, not political calculation or the pursuit of partisan advantage.

Further in the same Section E, Question 6, was: “Have you ever presented a forged certificate to INEC?” Again, the answer is either Yes or No. This raises another important question: Why shouldn’t INEC, in the interest of ensuring that our leaders are exemplary in following the rules and to strengthen public confidence in our electoral process, publish the academic certificates and credentials submitted by every candidate seeking elective office?

Transparency strengthens democracy and builds public trust. Nigeria’s problems are too serious for politics as usual. It is time for leadership defined by competence, character, capacity, compassion, and commitment to service.

My Stance on Road Development

There is a pertinent reason I have consistently advocated that we should refrain from initiating new road construction projects until we have thoroughly rehabilitated and maintained our existing road network. Instead of undertaking new ventures and dualization projects that offer marginal benefits, our primary focus ought to be on repairing the critical roads already in place.

Consider, for instance, the Asaba–Benin Road. This thoroughfare is a vital artery within Nigeria's transportation infrastructure. Travellers traversing from Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Rivers, Imo, Ebonyi, Cross River, Abia, Enugu, and portions of Benue and Kogi States to Lagos are compelled to utilise this route.

Despite its significance, substantial sections of this road are in a lamentable condition. It has become a major impediment, precipitating persistent traffic congestion and inflicting undue hardship on travellers, businesses, and transport operators.

Regrettably, this situation is not unique; it reflects the reality on many of our busiest national highways.

Our efforts should be directed towards the reconstruction and maintenance of our current road infrastructure before we announce plans for new road projects. The Nigerian populace requires functional and motorable roads, not merely projects that garner public attention.

Efforts aimed at superficial improvements for political gain should not supersede the urgent need to address the condition of our existing, critical roadways.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Nigeria Democratic Congress @NigeriaNDCHQ]

The Presidential candidate of our party, His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi, CON, has bemoaned the deplorable condition of Nigeria’s road network.

Our candidate emphasised that it is pertinent for the ruling party and its leaders to refrain from initiating new road construction projects until they have thoroughly rehabilitated and maintained our existing road network.

We completely agree with this position and are calling on the ruling government to, as a matter of urgency, repair all our major roads and stop subjecting Nigerians to unnecessary suffering and hardships.

Delighted to Return to School of Nursing Sciences, Emekuku, Owerri, Imo State.

In continuation of my itinerant visits to educational and healthcare institutions in the country, yesterday, I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, Holy Rosary Hospital, Emekuku, where I met with the management, staff, and students, and presented a donation of ₦15 million to the institution.

I reminded the students that the world needs them more than they need the world because healthcare is one of humanity’s most fundamental needs. Any nation that truly desires development must invest in the education and training of healthcare professionals, who remain indispensable to the well-being and productivity of society.

I was delighted to inspect the computer laboratory, which I had previously supported, and to witness the remarkable progress the institution has made. It was also encouraging to reflect on other health institutions, such as Iyi-Enu and Borromeo, which I supported over the years and which have now grown into teaching hospitals. Their transformation reinforces my belief that sustained investments in health and education can produce enduring results. I look forward to seeing Holy Rosary Hospital attain the same status.

Our vision must be to build a Nigeria where functional institutions produce competent professionals, where investments are directed to critical sectors that lift people out of poverty, and where every child, regardless of background, has the opportunity to succeed. That is how we will build a nation where the son of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody.

Engaging Tomorrow’s Leaders at Madonna University

Yesterday, I continued my engagement with future leaders in the country. I was at Madonna University, Okija Campus, where I had the privilege of interacting with students at the NextGen Mentorship & Leadership Initiative on the theme: “Beyond Now: Raising the Next Generation of Leaders.”

The session was highly engaging, with students asking thoughtful and probing questions. Their concerns reflected the frustration of many young Nigerians who feel constrained by poor governance and widespread corruption, which have denied them opportunities to realise their full potential. However, I was equally encouraged by their optimism and determination to be part of the solution.

I reminded them that leadership is the greatest determinant of a nation’s progress. A true leader must possess the character, competence, capacity, and compassion to make sacrifices for the good of the people. Nigeria’s future depends on leaders committed to safeguarding lives, investing in education, creating opportunities, and building effective institutions.

I encouraged the students to take their education seriously, to prepare themselves for leadership, and to see themselves not merely as spectators but as agents of change. Through active participation in the democratic process, they have the power to enthrone leaders with integrity and the capacity to propel our nation forward.

As part of my ongoing commitment to education, I presented a cheque of ₦15 million to the university to support its educational mission. Investing in education remains one of the most effective ways to develop the human capital necessary for national progress.

Together, by raising a new generation of responsible and visionary leaders, we can build the Nigeria of our dreams that is POssible. -PO
