Listen to my interview this morning at News Central, where I discussed my proposal for a practical solution to Nigeria's public education system.
Kindly share your thoughts.
It is impossible to provide Nigerians with 24-hour electricity within four years — Peter Obi
NDC Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi has said it would be unrealistic to promise uninterrupted electricity supply across Nigeria within four years, stressing that the country’s power infrastructure cannot be built overnight.
Speaking on Politics Today on Channels Television on Sunday, July 26, Obi said constructing power plants and upgrading transmission networks require years to complete, making a nationwide 24-hour electricity supply within a single four-year term unattainable.
“24-hour electricity within 4 years is impossible. If you want to build a power plant, it takes about 4 years. Improving transmission lines also takes years.”
Rather than making what he described as unrealistic promises, Obi pledged that his administration would ensure Nigeria can generate, transmit, and distribute at least 10,000 megawatts of electricity within four years.
“But within 4 years, we will ensure we can generate, transmit, and distribute not less than 10,000 Megawatts.”
The former Anambra State governor said this would be achieved through embedded power projects, citing Geometric Power in Aba as a successful model that can be replicated across the country to boost industrial development.
“We will do it through embedded power. Look at what Geometric Power is doing in Aba—we need to replicate that in locations like Kano to drive the industries in Bompai and Sharada.”
Obi also called for the settlement of the trillions of naira owed to electricity generation companies, saying restoring confidence in the sector is essential to attracting investment.
“Today, the government owes generating companies trillions of Naira. We must pay them. Our politics must change; if I don’t deliver what I promise, I will come out and explain to the people what is going wrong.”
Peter Obi don attend countless interviews, and e never shy away from any question. Atiku don attend some too. Sowore sef don try. Buhari as a sitting president did face media.
But e get one man wey dey fear, shy away from, or completely avoid media interviews and live interactions. I no understand why e dey hide.
Maybe e dey fear say e fit fall from chair, sleep off, or the things wey e go talk no go dey coherent.
I no mention anybody name o! Make nobody come cry for my comment section.
I have come to the conclusion that, as a Peter Obi supporter, I cannot agree with a Tinubu supporter - and they cannot agree with me either. 😏
Our ideologies are fundamentally different.
I won’t lie to win elections.
I won’t support ballot-box snatching.
I believe in the rule of law.
I believe a leader should be honest, compassionate and empathetic.
I want a leader who invests in healthcare, education and infrastructure, while also recognizing the importance of saving for the future.
I admire a man who, rather than stealing or borrowing recklessly, chose prudence and savings.
I hate godfatherism.
I cannot stand a leader who believes winning justifies every means.
I would never knowingly support a man with serious criminal controversies hanging over his record.
I would not be comfortable supporting a man whose background cannot be transparently verified.
I appreciate a leader who knows he doesn’t know everything and is willing to learn from others.
I love a leader who knows his numbers and bases decisions on facts.
So you see, our ideologies are very different.
We cannot agree.
Ko possible.
One thing Peter Obi has remained committed to is speaking directly to the people he hopes to lead, not through surrogates, but by engaging Nigerians himself.
Don’t miss his two-hour interview with @AfiaTvOfficial.
"I know what it takes to unite Nigeria... I have been to most troubled parts of the north on humanitarian visits. There's no politician today in Nigeria who has travelled to places I've been by road, from Kafanchan to Katsina, down to Maiduguri to everywhere in Nigeria because I want the country to be together"

All from university research pipelines.
So what exactly are Nigerian universities doing?
We are not running universities.
We are running glorified secondary schools with professors.
Globally, universities are judged by research output, patents, grants, and industry impact, not convocation gowns, social media noise, or strike press conferences.
No patents.
No serious research.
No industrial relevance.
Until our universities become research engines, Nigeria will keep importing ideas and exporting talent.
This must change. Now.
My respect for Peter Obi has doubled.
He did a full one-hour-plus interview with Seun without mentioning Tinubu’s name or discussing Keyamo and the airport saga. He went straight to national issues: making roads safe for motorists, agriculture for all, and improving the economy for everyone.
Peter is their nightmare.
@seunokin: @KwankwasoRM is a big asset to you and you believe he can help you win the election.
@PeterObi: Don't say Kwankwaso is an asset to me. He is an asset to Nigeria. He believes in education and pulling people out of poverty. That's why Nigeria needs the two of us.

An Open Letter to President Donald J. Trump
On the withheld FBI and DEA files concerning President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria
Dear President Trump,
I write to you not as a stranger but as a fellow alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania, and, for what it is worth, as a former tenant of a building that bears your name in Manhattan. I write because a case that should concern every American institution devoted to the rule of law is unfolding in plain sight, and your administration is on the wrong side of it.
On June 1, 2026, a federal court deadline set by Judge Beryl A. Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia required the FBI and the DEA to complete the release of investigative records concerning President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Nigeria. That deadline came and went after years of delay, missed dates, and what the judge herself described as "neither logical nor plausible" justifications for secrecy. The public record already shows what is not in dispute: in 1993, a federal judge in Chicago ordered $460,000 held in a First Heritage Bank account linked to Mr. Tinubu forfeited to the United States government, in a case tied to a narcotics money-laundering investigation. Mr. Tinubu was never criminally convicted; the forfeiture was civil, and the matter was closed without an admission of guilt. But the American people, and 220 million Nigerians, are entitled to see the full file a federal court has now twice ordered released. Continuing to shield it does not protect Mr. Tinubu's reputation. It destroys yours, and it destroys the credibility of the agencies withholding it.
The double standard is what troubles me most. Your administration authorized a military operation to capture Nicolás Maduro, a man who was never on American soil, and had him arraigned in a Manhattan courtroom on narco-terrorism charges. Whatever one thinks of Maduro, the contrast is impossible to miss: a foreign head of state who never set foot in the United States was brought here in chains, while a foreign head of state who was investigated by name inside the United States, whose money was seized by a U.S. court, is shielded from disclosure by the very agencies that investigated him. Nigerians are asking, reasonably, why the rule applied to Caracas does not apply to Chicago.
I am also troubled by whose counsel appears to be shaping your Nigeria policy. Massad Boulos, your senior advisor for Africa, built his fortune running a Nigerian conglomerate and has long-standing commercial ties in the country. A senior American official with deep business interests in Nigeria advising the President of the United States on how to treat Nigeria's leadership is, at minimum, a conflict that deserves scrutiny, not deference. Nigerians did not elect him, and his read of Nigerian politics should not substitute for an honest look at the facts.
Mr. Tinubu's own academic record remains the subject of active litigation in Nigerian federal court, with petitioners alleging the certificate he submitted to Nigeria's electoral commission does not match Chicago State University's own registrar records, while the university maintains he graduated in 1979. I do not ask you to adjudicate that dispute. I ask why a sitting head of state facing serious, court-documented questions about his past in the United States is receiving cover from Washington rather than transparency.
Meanwhile, the security crisis inside Nigeria festers. Illegal mining across the north, much of it run in partnership with Chinese operators, is estimated to cost Nigeria roughly $9 billion a year in stolen mineral wealth, according to U.S. congressional testimony and Nigerian government data. That illicit economy helps finance the banditry and terrorism destabilizing the north, and it thrives because politically connected figures allow it to. A president who tolerates that arrangement while his country burns should not also enjoy the protection of the FBI and DEA.
I do not ask you to convict a man in the press. I ask you to stop blocking a federal court order. Direct the FBI and DEA to comply in full with Judge Howell's ruling, release the files, and let Nigerians and Americans alike see what their own governments have long known. Anything less looks like protection of a foreign leader at the expense of American institutions, and it is not going down well in Nigeria, a nation of 220 million people and one of the world's largest oil producers.
You went to Wharton. You know what due diligence looks like. I am simply asking you to apply it here.
Respectfully, Kio Amachree
THANK GOD HE SURVIVED
On Tuesday, July 21st, Bwos Pam Fom spoke to our team about an attack that had killed two people in his community that same afternoon.
Less than 24 hours later, he became a victim himself.
Fom is from a village approximately 20-30 miles southeast of Jos, the capital of Plateau State — a community he says has suffered dozens of Christian deaths and widespread land seizures at the hands of terrorists.
On Wednesday, July 22nd, Fom had spent the entire day in Jos, comforting a bereaved relative alongside family members and neighbors. On his way back in the early evening, he stopped at his farm to pick fresh corn for his pregnant wife and two children.
He didn’t know armed men were already hiding in the tall grass surrounding the farm.
Within minutes, they opened fire with automatic rifles, forcing the group of five men to scatter for their lives. As he ran, Fom tripped over tangled grass and fell to the ground. Exposed and unable to move quickly, he became an easy target. The gunmen turned their fire on him.
A bullet — consistent with a 7.62x39mm round used in AK-style rifles — shattered his knee and lodged deep in his thigh.
By God’s grace, Fom survived. He is now recovering at a hospital in Jos, but his fight is not over. He needs over N750,000 for emergency surgery to remove the bullet and repair his shattered leg. Without it, he faces amputation — a procedure that will still cost him money he does not have.
With his ancestral village and farms already seized and occupied in previous attacks, Fom is left with an impossible choice: sell the small plot of land his family now lives on, or lose his leg.
You can help.
