Insecurity: Nigeria Cannot Continue Like This
I received with deep shock and sadness the tragic death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, who reportedly died while in the custody of kidnappers. Earlier, before this heartbreaking news, I also received disturbing reports of renewed bandit attacks in Sokoto and Kwara States.
The armed bandits reportedly blocked a market route in Sokoto and abducted traders, while terrorists invaded communities in Kwara State, kidnapping scores of citizens and killing innocent people, are heartbreaking and alarming. These incidents are not isolated tragedies; they are clear manifestations of the deepening security crisis confronting our nation.
But particularly painful is the reported death of Major General Rabe Abubakar, a distinguished military officer who dedicated a significant part of his life to defending Nigeria and protecting its citizens. It is tragic that a man who served his fatherland with honour, rose through the ranks of the Nigerian Armed Forces, and retired after years of meritorious service, would meet such a heartbreaking end at the hands of criminal elements. His death is a national tragedy and a sobering indictment of the insecurity that has engulfed our country.
When traders can no longer travel safely to markets, farmers cannot access their farms, communities live under constant fear, and even retired senior military officers are not spared from the menace of kidnapping and violent crime, it becomes evident that our nation is facing a grave security emergency.
Security remains the foremost responsibility of any government. Every life lost, every citizen abducted, and every community displaced represent a painful failure of our collective duty to protect the Nigerian people. The recurring attacks in Sokoto, Kwara, and many other parts of the country demonstrate that insecurity is not only persisting but spreading in both scope and intensity.
I once again urge the Federal Government and our security agencies to move beyond rhetoric and adopt a more proactive, intelligence-driven, technology-based, and coordinated approach to tackling insecurity. We must strengthen our security architecture, improve intelligence gathering, secure our borders, equip and motivate our security personnel, and ensure that those responsible for these heinous crimes are apprehended and brought to justice.
A nation where citizens live in fear cannot prosper. A nation where economic activities are disrupted daily by criminal elements cannot attract investment, create jobs, or guarantee a better future for its people. We must urgently reclaim every part of our country from terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and all criminal gangs threatening our collective existence.
My heartfelt condolences go to the family of Major General Rabe Abubakar, his former colleagues in the Armed Forces, and all Nigerians who have lost loved ones to insecurity. I also sympathise with the families of those killed, those abducted, and the affected communities in Sokoto, Kwara, and across the nation.
The recurring tragedies and embarrassing security failures we continue to witness make the quest for a New Nigeria not only necessary but inevitable. We must build a nation where every citizen can live, work, travel, and pursue legitimate economic activities without fear.

In continuation of my quest to deepen knowledge and impact positively on our society, yesterday June 10th, in London, I held a series of important engagements, including a fruitful meeting with Alex Vines, Director of the Africa Programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).
Our discussions focused on strengthening strategic relationships and fostering a deeper understanding of Africa’s evolving role in global affairs. It was emphasized that Africa must no longer be viewed merely through the prism of statistics or humanitarian concern, but as a serious and equal partner in shaping the future global order, much like India, Indonesia, and other emerging centres of influence.
During our engagement, it became increasingly clear that Africa, and Nigeria in particular, must be placed at the centre of international conversations on partnership, trade, governance, innovation, and sustainable development.
Constructive dialogue and mutual respect remain essential to building meaningful cooperation between Africa and the international community.

Fellow Obidients, the name of this game is POLITICS!
We moved to the NDC when the times were rough and our leaders negotiated their way through.
Firstly we got the Presidential and Vice Presidential ticket OK without a contest..
That was a HUGE sacrifice by the party..
Also, remember that some people registered and have been managing the affairs party before our arrival hence we cannot have it all.
Talking about structure, you may not be aware that Mr Peter Obi has the South East zone locked!
So, if Sen Seriake Dickson gets some zones to himself and others that is not bad either.
In politics, everyone politician need structure hence you cannot relinquish all on the altar of being a good man..
Let's look at the bigger target which is winning the presidential election within the shortest possible time and refrain from the distraction of who got what and who did not get..
On the issues of THEO AND DENNIS appointment as head of media of the NDC, I personally do not see anything wrong in that so long as our interest and objectives aligns..
It is on them to understand the weight of the new role assigned to them and play by their rules. So long as they do not allow their past relationships and association to negatively determine their sense of judgement today I'm game !
It's also good that they are now faced with burden of proof since they are made the Chief Marketers of the product they once criticised badly..
In the US to JAMES DAVID VANCE who was once an ardent critic of President Donald Trump is the Vice President today! That's politics!!
Locally too, the former critics of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are working in his government today startng from Reno Omokri to Daniel Bwala then Omujuwa and his likes..
The most recent is KENNETH OKONKWO of LP yesterday who called Atiku Abubakar unprintable names is today his spokesman .
The game of politics only care about your interest and not emotions or sentiments!
If our leader Mr Peter Obi can work with H.E Engr Kwankwaso, Sen Omo Agege then we should take a lesson from there and do better...
There is no war in the NDC today, let's not disparage the party rather all EYES MUST BE ON THE BALL ⚽

Message to Obidients
I have said that the Obidients are the greatest political resource for Nigeria’s political transformation.
Now, listen
Forget the primaries
Focus on driving @PeterObi to the presidency
30 good legislators would not change Nigeria
1 truly transformative President will change Nigeria.
Focus on Peter Obi. Support NDC. Get to work
I was deeply honoured to host a high-powered solidarity visit from the Igbo Elders Consultative Forum at my residence in Abuja.
The delegation was led by Dr. S. N. Okeke, Chairman of the Ohanaeze Council of Elders for the 19 States and the FCT, alongside former Governor of Enugu State, Okwesilieze Nwodo. The elders expressed strong appreciation for the growing and cordial partnership between myself and His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi under the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). They pledged their unwavering support for the Obi/Kwankwaso ticket and assured the movement of massive electoral backing across the South-East and the wider Southern region.
In my response, I thanked the delegation for their visit and for the opportunity to exchange views on the state of the nation. Reflecting on the historic North-South East political dynamics, I expressed delight at the excellent and productive relationship I continue to enjoy with HE Peter Obi. I also reaffirmed my total commitment to the OK Movement and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), emphasising our resolute determination to deliver victory for the party in the upcoming elections. - RMK
APC MUST GO ! APC MUST GO !! APC MUST GO !!! TINUBU MUST GO
VeryDarkMan and the rest of the ratels chats all over Abuja tonight after arriving from China 😂✊🏽✨
YOUNG PEOPLE CAN CHANGE HISTORY ~~POPE LEO XIV
Me; I’m urging young people in Nigeria to go all out in mass and make history by voting Peter Obi in the forth coming election 2027. Go and get your PVC if you haven’t gotten yours.
Just in: “Oluremi Tinubu, you are the most Uselezz First Lady in The History of Nigeria, You are supposed to be a Mother but over 40 school kids are in the Bush in the Captivity of K!dnappers but you don’t care no wonder you have been unable to born a child” - Activist Sham sodium fumes
INEC gave the APC the login to their database.
Wike’s assistant has revealed how they shut down the IREV. They are running INEC at the backend. Joash Amupitan is compromised!
Any result he declares will be REJECTED!
INEC will set Nigeria on fire. Mallam El-Rufai is in detention. He was arrested for allegedly tapping the cell phone of the NSA. Wike’s assistant has committed a much heavier crime.
Lere Olayinka has compromised INEC server.
If Lere is not immediately picked up by the DSS for publishing a classified information, then Nigerians will take it that INEC is working for the APC. In the meantime, Professor Joash Amupitan MUST tender his resignation.
This is the second time he has been caught showing his partisanship & obvious bias. Amupitan is in close association with the APC.
INEC is far from independent. Delaying the inevitable would only lead to events that may jeopardize the fragile demoCrazy in Nigeria. A compromised umpire cannot conduct a general election. People should know when to quit! 😡
After 2 weeks the school children were kidnapped, govt sent delegates to Oyo state to announce that 1000 forest guards to be recruited.
How long will that take to be done while the children are still in captivity.
Haba Tinubu . We need immediate action. What a bad govt.
Your only valid prayer that God will accept in 2027 election is your massive votes against bad governance.
The only condition God will hear your prayer and chase away Tinubu and APC.
Go Get Your PVC from INEC now if you haven’t.
Praying without a PVC card to vote is a joke!
Who said insecurity in Nigeria cannot be tackled. Let’s give Obi chance and see insecurity as a forgotten issue in Nigeria. Before he came to power in Anambra upper Iweka in Onitsha was a terrible place but Obi sanitized the area. No economic policy can survive unsecured nation
H.E Peter Obi is the known master strategist who foresee what is going to happen tomorrow. Imagine Peter Obi still in ADC, they would have used the shameful APC counting strategy to rig him out in ADC primaries. ADC is now using it in their primaries but Peter saw it earlier.
Peter Obi is the Problem of this country. Whether you like it or not, he’s the reason why APC is performing poorly.
Otherwise, why has he become APC led government’s official response to everything.
300 students kidnapped in their dormitory at 2am.
APC Response: Peter Obi never developed Anambra.
30 soldiers ambushed and killed overnight.
APC Response: Peter Obi did not leave any money when he left office.
200 farmers slaughtered on their own land by bandits.
APC Response: Peter Obi is not popular in the North that’s why bandits and terrorists are killing people.
200 schoolchildren abducted in a coordinated attack that took planning, logistics, and weapons nobody is investigating.
APC Response: Peter Obi will never be president of this country. He does not understand how to play politics.
140 million Nigerians living in multidimensional poverty. The worst poverty figures in the country’s history.
APC Response: Tinubu built men. Peter Obi has no structure.
30 million children are out of school. Thirty. Million. Children.
APC Response: Peter Obi has been jumping from party to party. Very unstable man. He lacks leadership skills.
A church is attacked. 80 worshippers kidnapped in the middle of service.

APC Response: Peter Obi built only 19 roads in Anambra. Not 20.
A mosque is bombed. Scores killed. Body parts recovered from the premises.
APC Response: Peter Obi wears black every day. Every single day. What kind of man wears black every day? He does not understand fashion. He does not understand Nigeria.
The naira has collapsed. Fuel is unaffordable. Food prices have tripled. Electricity is a rumor. Hospitals have no drugs. Universities are decaying. The roads are cemeteries. Corruption has become a celebrated culture.
APC Response: Peter Obi is a stingy man.
Trillions borrowed in two years. More debt than any administration in the country’s history. Nothing to show for it. No roads. No refineries. No power. No jobs.
APC Response: Peter Obi does not have first class. We cannot allow a trader to be president.
Trillions are missing from the Federation Account.
APC Response: Peter Obi and his Obidients are noisemakers. They don’t even have voters cards.
You ask them about the dead soldiers in Borno.
Peter Obi.
You ask them about the exchange rate.
Peter Obi.
You ask them what time it is.
Peter Obi.
At this point Peter Obi is not a man. He is a policy document. He is a budget defence. He is a press statement. He is the commander in chief. He is the official government response to every question this administration does not want to answer. Which is every question.
If a man they rigged out three years ago can live so freely in their heads, then there’s something about that one man that frightens them and one of those things is that they don’t understand how he was a governor for eight years without stealing a kobo.
They don’t understand why he does not share money yet Nigerians are singing his name everywhere they go.
They don’t understand the man. They don’t understand how operates on a class so high. They don’t understand the love. So, it scares them even in their dreams.

Dear Nigerians,
This is a Special Appreciation to all Obidients Worldwide. Wherever you are in this world, just know that WE see you. I don’t think I have done this before, & no thank you will ever be enough!
You are sensitive, I always enjoy your emotional intelligence. Then you are smart, you are loving & kind; you have a special way of showing it.
I come to you like I always do. As one of you, I have just ONE passionate appeal to make.
“Peter Obi is just a man. He is one, not two. He cannot possibly attend to every situation. The man is not perfect, but he is perfect for us.
Supporting him because you believe he has those qualities that other candidates don't possess is the right thing to do. Don’t support because you think you’re better than others.”
The Obidient Movement started small, but we’ve grown so much. We are all equals. As far as I know, no one is bigger than the others.
Just know that you are worthy; every Obidient matter! Again, we started small. “Four People Tweeting” in a room they said! But today? WE ARE LARGE, WE CONTAIN MULTITUDES! 💪
Now we’ve grown so much………….
Nigerians know who we are! Africans know who we are! The world does! Nigeria became a scarecrow of itself. Things got to a climax.
It was time someone made a stand………
We entered the scene, & everywhere changed! Suddenly, people began to ask questions. We achieved the insanely unthinkable. Now pat yourselves on the back, WE DID THAT SHIT!
However, now is the time for unity more than anything else. We need togetherness, not rancor. This is not a sport. We are not in a popularity contest. Nigeria is at stake. Our lives are at stake. Democracy is in mortal danger.
Thugs “masquerading” as elites have taken over our county. The inmates have taken over the asylum. Remember, “we are underdogs.”
We led you in battle, & we are going to lead you in battle again. Nigeria has changed, & generally for the worse. THIS WAS NOT THE DREAM THAT WAS NIGERIA; I don’t know what it is!
We have to band together, not bicker.
There is more that unites us than divides us.
Look around you, you & I not so different.
Look at your neighbor. We are cut from the same strand of DNA. We have a flair for the dramatic, & that’s okay. We are young, we have much to learn. Learn from loss. Learn from Peter. He has fortitude, & fortitude is strength!
From loss comes victory. We are the story of victory, how underdogs finally get to WIN.
But we have much work to do. As your fairy godmother, I'm still in the business of bringing everyone together. I haven’t changed, I’m still the General you know. Let’s bury the hatchet, & heal from the wounds of the past. Let bygones be bygones. MOBILIZATION HAS STARTED!
We have to adopt her model. She puts in so much work. Do kindly look to @D_goodybag. She does exactly what it says on the tin. 👍
This time? We have to triple our efforts. Please go out & preach the OK GOSPEL. Spread the word to all the corners of Nigeria. Let them know that Nigeria is in mortal danger. Tell everyone WHY we fight, & WHAT we fight for.
Do so, FOR THE GLORY OF NIGERIA. 🙏🇳🇬
Dear Mr. Desmond Eliot @DesmondOElliot
Ned Nwoko
Bernard Imasuen @senatorNeda etc.
Stop Complaining about the Evil you Supported and Benefited from❗️
Injustice and Wickedness is Enough to go round❗️
SHAME❗️
May Nigerians Liberate themselves
2027 = Nigeria Would be OK❗️
Don’t expect these wicked and insensitive corrupt politicians to like H.E Peter Obi because he is not among their league.
It’s now left for Nigerians and youths of good will to mobilize and vote for Peter Obi to change the status quo’s.
