𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜 𝗔𝗠 𝗥𝗨𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗦 — 𝗢𝗕𝗜𝗢𝗠𝗔 𝗠𝗚𝗕𝗘𝗢𝗝𝗜

Today, the race for the 2027 general election kicks off, with the ban on campaigning lifted. I am on the ballot, having been nominated by my party, the Youth Party, to contest to become a Member of the House of Representatives, representing Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency.

𝗠𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗻 𝗭 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. While we all played a role in getting to where we are today, I believe it is time we take control over our future, as those who rule us today may likely not be here to see the consequences of their misrule.

The late Buhari ruled with an iron fist, devalued our naira to the worst ever, allowed corruption to thrive, borrowed massive sums and increased our national debt, inflation became worse under him, and we all collectively suffered for his bad decisions and leadership. Buhari is late today; he is not here to suffer the consequences of his bad leadership. We, the youths, the younger generation, are left to fix the mess the late President left for us. This is our sad reality. And the sooner we take charge of our future and shape it the way we want for ourselves, our unborn children, and our children’s children, the better for us.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀; a Nigeria where peace and justice shall reign, and where we have hope that our tomorrow will be better than our today.

I am calling on 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀, whether or not you are from my local constituency, to join me in this race. We worked hard and ended SARS and their rascality in 2020; 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟳. As a 28-year-old Nigerian, I am on the ballot because, in 2016, Hon. Tony Nwulu, who represented Oshodi/Isolo Federal Constituency II, Lagos State, in the 8th National Assembly, introduced the “𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗧𝗢𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗢 𝗥𝗨𝗡” 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹, which reduced the age requirement to run for national offices. Despite being from a different state and geopolitical zone, his bill, now passed, has benefited me and a lot of young people who can now run for office despite being young.

My point is that, whether or not you are from my state or local constituency, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗜 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀. I am looking forward to working with you on this race and look forward to our victories in January and in the House!

𝗧𝗢𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟:

1. 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 from ₦77k to a fixed amount of “at least minimum wage multiplied by 2.5.” Under my proposed bill, corpers currently serving and yet to serve will earn a statutory minimum of ₦175k.

2. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝗶𝗷𝗮𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁, a federal health insurance program that will allow you to get treatment during emergencies, and the federal government will cover 50% of your medical expenses while allowing you flexible repayment for the balance. No more cries for public donations during emergencies and urgent health issues.

3. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗻𝘀 for our struggling students who want to continue their studies, up to ₦5 million per student throughout their stay in school, which can be repaid flexibly with just a 2% interest rate per annum!

4. 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝟯𝟱 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗻𝘀 at no more than 5% interest per annum. Your business thrives while our economy thrives!

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲!

Unpopular opinion, but we should extend the death sentence to embezzlement of public funds🤷🏽

"Fourth defendant, in count one, you, Gift Raphael, are hereby sentenced to seven years imprisonment.
In count two, four, six, and eight, you, Gift Raphael, are hereby sentenced to death by hanging or through the administration of a lethal injection. You shall be hanged by the neck until you are dead. May the Lord have mercy on you."

@channelstv As someone running for House of Representatives in 2027. I assure you, I will move that bill.

Stealing money meant for public good is the worst criminal offense you can commit because indirectly you kill more people than someone who kills one!

@Litweddingng @channelstv Stealing public money meant for your hospital and roads and to give you a better life is not the same as not paying taxes bro. Dont bring politics into it.

[Obioma Mgbeoji @Obioma]

@Scarzoni @channelstv I am surprised that anybody will oppose it. Embezzlement literally is destroying everyone’s future.

@Onye_Game @instablog9ja Most of what we have to today are just women who hate men for no reason. That's not feminism.

@instablog9ja Everybody should have the right to inherit property regardless of gender. Welldone to the government.

@MobilePunch After 1000 light years, lol.

[Obioma Mgbeoji @Obioma]

@vanguardngrnews As it should be.

[Obioma Mgbeoji @Obioma]

@vanguardngrnews "Nigeria is a democratic country" that's far gone from us, there's nothing democratic about this country anymore, especially when the leaders don't even respect the law.
