Nigeria Cannot Become a Killing Field

What is happening to our country?

In recent days, deadly attacks have struck Benue, Plateau and Niger States, three contiguous states in Nigeria’s North-Central region.

In Mangu, Plateau State, at least 23 people were officially reported killed in the Jwak Maitumbi attack, while residents put the toll above 30. More than 45 houses were reportedly destroyed. In Borgu, Niger State, recent attacks reportedly killed over 40 people and abducted more than 100, though the figures remain contested.

This comes amid continuing violence in Benue, where communities face repeated killings, abductions and the destruction of homes and livelihoods.

Nigeria is not officially at war, yet citizens are being attacked in their villages, abducted after prayers, driven from their homes and stripped of their farms.

What is happening in Benue, Plateau and Niger is similar to what is happening elsewhere in the country, with some attacks even going unreported. The violence across these states must no longer be treated as isolated incidents. It is a national security emergency requiring urgent and coordinated action.

I urge governments at all levels to wake up to their responsibility and take urgent and decisive action to end this madness once and for all.

Government must protect vulnerable communities, improve intelligence and rapid-response capabilities, rescue abducted Nigerians, and arrest and prosecute those responsible.

We cannot keep counting bodies after every attack. We must prevent these attacks before they happen.

Protecting lives and property is the most basic duty of government. Nigerians deserve nothing less.

Nigeria must not become a killing field. -PO

@omotomilola KOH brings nothing to the table. If you actually listen to his interviews, it becomes painfully obvious that he doesn't understand the core issues.

[nopsman @Nopsman1]

@KAA_Truths If you had written an open letter inviting all the presidential candidates for an interview, nobody would bash you. You know BAT and Atiku won’t show up, which is why you chose to single out Obi.Invite them all, and let it be on record if Obi refuses to show up.

[nopsman @Nopsman1]

@TheAjakeManger Any public debate this guy participates in will be disastrous for him. He simply doesn’t have the capacity. it has all been packaging.

[nopsman @Nopsman1]

@MamaPee__ You’re witnessing a genius campaign strategy in HD. Tinubu and Atiku will stick to the traditional media that Gen Z and millennials consume less of, while Peter Obi will meet them in their own space, TikTok and other digital platforms.

@spongersteven @NigeriainfoFM @drobafemihamzat Anything they say is the opposite.

[nopsman @Nopsman1]

@JLemon007 @1danfulcreation @FBI Nigerians in the USA should start protesting. We need to know the truth.

[nopsman @Nopsman1]

@Samuelobineze @1danfulcreation @FBI Are you not worried that the FBI has a file on your president?

MY ADDRESS TO MARK THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 2027 PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGNS

21 August 2026

Dear Compatriots,
Members of the Press,

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,

Wednesday, 19 August 2026, marked the official start of the campaign period for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections.

There is no doubt that this is a defining moment for our democracy. This moment gives Nigerians the opportunity to assess the records, ideas, and plans of those seeking their mandate to lead their country at a time of grave uncertainty in our rapidly changing world.

I consider myself quite privileged to be one of those seeking your mandate to deal with these challenges facing our country.

I enter this contest with one firm conviction: Nigeria can work, and Nigeria must work.

Nigeria faces several serious challenges. Some of them are indeed of existential proportions.

According to the IMF, 63%, or over 140 million Nigerians, live at or below the national poverty line, while humanitarian agencies estimate that 35 million people will need food assistance during the 2026 lean season. About 3.6 million Nigerians remain internally displaced, largely because of conflict and insecurity. Each year, millions of young people enter the labour market, yet too many struggle to find productive opportunities. Weak infrastructure, unreliable power, insecurity, and the excessive cost of doing business continue to burden households and constrain enterprise.

These are more than statistics. They reflect the daily realities of Nigerian families, farmers, workers, students, and businesses.

Yet I do not believe Nigeria lacks the ability to overcome these challenges. We have the people, resources, market, talent, and enterprise. What we must do now is turn these strengths into security, productivity, and shared prosperity.

LEADERSHIP MUST DELIVER RESULTS

My successful private-sector experience, studies in institutions of repute on policy and business matters, and my service as Governor of Anambra State have shaped my understanding of public leadership. Government must manage resources responsibly, set clear priorities, and measure the outcomes of its decisions. Public office is not a reward; it is a responsibility to the people.

In Anambra, I prioritised the foundations of long-term development: education, healthcare, infrastructure, fiscal discipline, and institutional capacity. I do not present that record as perfect, but as an experience from which Nigerians can draw their own conclusions.

Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso brings a different but complementary governing experience.

As Governor of Kano State, he focused strongly on education, technical training, scholarships, infrastructure, and human-capital development. His administration’s investments in education and skills showed an understanding that the people are a state’s most important long-term resource.

Our experiences are different, but our conclusion is the same: Nigeria must invest in its people and manage public resources with discipline.

BUILDING AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS

Nigeria needs more than reactive reforms. We must focus on the questions that matter:

Are Nigerians better off than they were four years ago? Can they afford food, education, and healthcare? Can businesses produce, expand, and create jobs? Can young people find productive work? Can farmers work safely and get their produce to market?

Are you OK?

@BlazeRegent Newspaper Headline; Obi and others sign peace accord. TINUBU, ATIKU ABSENT. When you read it what comes to your mind?

[nopsman @Nopsman1]

@BabajideOtitoju @krativity You're getting feedback from your viewers and you think everything is political. Records are there and the receipts will be brought out. Go for a retreat and watch all your programs again and you'll see how much you have changed.

[nopsman @Nopsman1]

@udenshi_Aliba @asemota I was very lucky. One night, when they couldn't kill the number one and they came for his brother who fled and didn't tell me. Something just told me to go to that popular cyber cafe to chill. That saved my life. Na that time I know say i no belong here. I left everything.

[nopsman @Nopsman1]

@udenshi_Aliba @asemota I was in BDPA. This group were deadly. Infact the most deadly.
