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

The fact that he has his voters card to flaunt is the biggest flex here…
Everyone Please Make it a duty call to Go and get your PVC first thing tomorrow morning 👏
Your going to church is important but don’t forget prayers without work is dead dear brethren…..
Nigeria has to be OK.
Let me tell you what Tinubu wants to do.
They’ll just collect the data and present it as a KPI, key performance indicator, to prove the Nigerian economy is growing and MSMEs are booming. Meanwhile, in reality, those exact same businesses are suffocating.
You all think these politicians are daft abi? You’re literally handing them the tools to use against you.
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
Personally, I think online political discourse in Nigeria is largely a distraction. Ignore the Akara and Kuli Kuli talk and focus on the main issue of judicial overreach and unfairness. That was how we focused on Agbado and 50 million Youth and ignored potential INEC malfeasance.
The target is PO. It is our duty to resist this and work collectively to ensure that PO remains our candidate on the INEC portal.

Am so tired of listening to gaslighters who refuse to admit that Peter Obi is an impressive man who has millions of fans because he deserves admiration and a chance to run Nigeria.
Nobody is a saint. And I’m sure PO has weaknesses and has made mistakes. But even if all of the criticisms his enemies throw at him are true, he still has a MUCH better character, reputation, track record and modus operandi than Tinubu.
PO has never been fined for drug dealing in America or anywhere else. He has a very frugal lifestyle. And he possesses genuine entrepreneurial skills.
He got rich long before he became a governor via honest hard work and without resorting to corruption and crime.
Lagos Calabar coastal road= 750km
China rural roads built= 16,000km
Cost of coastal road= $11 billion
Cost of the china rural roads built= $12.1 billion
Time of project execution for coastal road = since March 2024 till date
Time of completion of china rural roads= 4 months.
I just say let me let you know.
Never did I think anybody would be worse than Buhari. Tinubu's Government is a tragedic disaster this nation might not recover from in decades to come.

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.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
