Hunger and the Insensitivity of Mr. President

I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops who visited his office, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.

While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today. More importantly, we must focus on the facts and the measurable outcomes of governance.

Before the present administration assumed office in 2023, an estimated 17 million Nigerians were facing acute food insecurity, primarily caused by insecurity, armed conflict, widespread banditry, and devastating floods. Today, less than three years later, that number has risen to about 35 million Nigerians. Instead of improving the situation, the crisis has worsened significantly under the current administration.

The same trend is evident in poverty. Before this government took office in 2023, Nigeria’s extreme poverty was estimated at 87 million people. Current projections suggest that this number is approaching 140 million people, making Nigeria home to the largest population of people living in extreme poverty anywhere in the world.

No one disputes that this administration inherited serious challenges. However, leadership is measured not by the challenges inherited but by the results achieved. The government must honestly acknowledge that its response has fallen far short of what the situation demanded, with millions more Nigerians pushed deeper into poverty and hunger.

The combination of persistent insecurity, poor economic management, fiscal indiscipline, wasteful public expenditure, and inadequate investment in productive sectors has compounded the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.

A responsible government must prioritise investment in education, healthcare, agriculture, security, and small businesses while pursuing policies that create jobs, expand production, and lift people out of poverty. That remains my commitment to the Nigerian people.

A New Nigeria is Possible. PO

That young man Ibrahim Kaigama who boldly revealed on Channels TV that the Tinubu government paid ₦5 billion to kidnappers for the release of the 400 children and women abducted in Borno, also disclosed that he and certain government officials were among the negotiators, that the kidnappers later called him to say they only received ₦1.9 billion out of that amount.

This confirms Seyi Makinde was right about the Oyo kidnapping and sums up the larger picture of kidnapping in Nigeria: some people have been benefiting from the insurgency. The problem is therefore unlikely to end anytime soon.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

From today, any day you hear about mass Kidnapping, just know that this government knows what is going on. I will never stress myself over anything mass kidnapping in this country again.

My Visit to Ogoja

After visiting the Catholic Maternity Hospital in Ogoja, where I supported the hospital and its School of Midwifery, I stopped at the INEC Continuous Voter Registration Centre at St. Ben’s Demonstration Primary School, Ogoja. I observed the voter registration exercise and the orderly conduct of the citizens who came out to register.

Thereafter, I honoured the invitation of the Missionary Diocese of Ogoja, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), where the newly installed Bishop held his first Synod and unveiled a vision centred on expanding access to education and healthcare through the establishment of a school and a hospital.

In support of this noble mission, I made an initial contribution of ₦5 million. Investing in education, healthcare, and the welfare of the less privileged remains one of the most meaningful ways to build a productive, compassionate, and prosperous society.

I sincerely thank the Bishop and the Diocese for their commitment to serving humanity.

We thereafter proceeded through Okuku, Yala LGA where we greeted the people.

Together, through purposeful investments in people and institutions, we can build a better Nigeria.

I’ve been getting these sorts of comments since 2-3 days due to the Salako issue and I’ve refrained from speaking publicly on it for almost 2 months so as not to take attention off what really matters. The PO Presidency.

I also had to take a quick vacation to America to cool my head.

Now that we are talking about it, I will give a short narration of things that transpired

When news of this substitution started filtering in due to entrants of newly defected APC strongmen in Delta state (You know them), I had to run to H.E Peter Obi late at night to brief him on what and what was going on. The narrative from the new entrants was I lost primaries to justify the substitution. The returning officer wrote a result to favour the said person. I just assumed the right thing was done. That was the legality used by the powers that be in Delta North.

I am not asking for free ticket. All i wanted was the rightful winner being declared as winner.

PO was deeply concerned about all that and stressed that I had to communicate problems “as e dey hot”.

After much deliberation on the way forward and fatherly counsel from PO in the presence of Dr. Tanko, Dr. Mo, Mama Pee, Peter Akah, Esther, Ibrahim, etc, I decided not to pursue my own election matter any longer out of respect for our Principal HE Peter Obi and the journey ahead.

I am not desperate to answer “Honorable” but I’m desperate to see a Nigeria that works for me, you and all our loved ones. Nigeria must work in my lifetime. It’s long overdue.

We will be focused on the NDC Presidential candidate.

I have also spoken to my supporters in Onicha-Ugbo, Ukwu-Nzu, Issele-Azagba, Issele-Ukwu, Obior, Obomkpa, Onicha-Olona, Idumju-Unor and Ezi to keep calm.

I will also do a thank-you tour to my constituents to thank all of them for their support. They are heartbroken but I need to encourage them at this difficult period.

I want to specially appreciate Peter Akah and Caleb Garuba. They had to follow me at the dead of the night, bumper to bumper on this case. They were everywhere with me lobbying on this issue.

This is who NDC is set to declare as candidate due to imposition by the Delta strongman. 👇👇

Thank you all for your attention to this matter.

Dennis Amachree's book on 40 yrs of @OfficialDSSNG has attracted a lot of attention because for his disclosure that the much-feared Gen. Sani Abacha died of "coitus-induced cardiac arrest." (His words on p. 252).

But arguably a bigger disclosure is a validation of the that in order to capture power in #NigeriaDecides2015, @OfficialAPCNg imported "Fulani militias.... from across the Sahel, specifically from Mali, Sierra Leone, & Senegal to tip the scales" in their favour. As he rightly points out, the implications are staggering.

The Mission Hospital That Keeps Hope Alive

I left Enugu early this morning for Ogoja/Yala Local Government Area of Cross River State.

My first stop was the Catholic Maternity Hospital, Moniaya, Ogoja.

This decades-old facility remains virtually the only maternity hospital serving the entire Ogoja area.

Despite its age and the enormous responsibility it bears, it continues to provide care for thousands of women and newborns with limited resources.

Nigeria still ranks among the countries with the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in the world, despite having overtaken countries such as China and India, whose populations are several times larger than ours. This is not just a statistic; it represents mothers, babies, and families whose lives are forever changed by preventable tragedies.

The hospital also operates a Tuberculosis and Leprosy Centre, providing vital healthcare services that are becoming increasingly rare.

To support their commendable work, I made a token donation of ₦10 million and assured them of my continued partnership.

I urge governments at all levels, the private sector, and well-meaning Nigerians to support institutions like this, run by voluntary and faith-based organisations. Investing in healthcare and education is investing in our future. -PO

Strengthening Democracy Through Inclusive Voter Registration

Yesterday, after attending the graduation ceremony of the Millennium College of Nursing Sciences in Awka, I visited an INEC Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) Centre in Enugu.

I was pleased to witness an orderly and well-organised registration process. I also met a number of people patiently queuing to register, demonstrating their commitment to participating in our democracy. I commend the INEC staff for their dedication and professionalism.

I, however, urge INEC to extend the Continuous Voter Registration exercise to at least 90 days before the General Elections to give more eligible Nigerians the opportunity to register and participate in the electoral process.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Why the voter registration exercise should be extended.

As we continue to encourage Nigerians to participate actively in our democracy, I respectfully appeal to INEC to consider extending the voter registration window to the latest practical date that still allows adequate time for the preparation of a credible voters’ register before the 2027 general elections.

Every day, more young Nigerians attain the age of 18 and become constitutionally eligible to vote. They are not just our future; they are stakeholders in our present. It would be unfortunate if many of them were denied the opportunity to exercise their civic responsibility simply because the registration process closed long before the elections.

Moreover, this position is legally supported by the High Court judgment delivered on 22 November 2022 in Anaja Salmat & 3 Others v. INEC (Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1342/2022). In that decision, the Federal High Court held that voter registration should continue until 90 days before a general election to protect the constitutional voting rights of eligible Nigerians.

I appreciate the enormous responsibility placed on INEC to deliver free, fair, and credible elections. I also recognise the need for sufficient time to clean the register and make the necessary logistical preparations. However, our electoral process should, as much as possible, maximise participation rather than limit it.

A democracy is strengthened when every eligible citizen has the opportunity to be heard. I therefore urge INEC to adopt a registration timeline that protects the integrity of the process while ensuring that no eligible Nigerian, especially our young people, is unnecessarily disenfranchised. -PO

Pray for the persecuted Christians in Nigeria. Pray that President @realDonaldTrump will put pressure on the Muslim president of Nigeria to protect innocent Christians who are being butchered by radical followers of Islam. This pastor said, “I know what it means to stand before grieving families whose only crime was refusing to deny Jesus Christ…Now they say I will be next. But I ask the world, what is my crime?”
