Why I Stand Proudly as an Obidient!

In 2019, during the election campaign, Peter Obi attended Sunday Mass at Fr. Ejike Mbaka’s church. Seizing the moment, Fr. Mbaka pressed Obi to donate, hoping to leverage the campaign spotlight. Obi, with his trademark humility and principle, calmly responded, “Show me a project you want me to support.” Mbaka had none to offer, and Obi, true to his values, declined to donate. For this, he was vilified, branded with unprintable names, and labelled “stingy.”

Yet, this same man—denied his mandate by INEC—has since traversed Nigeria, quietly empowering communities with donations to hospitals, schools, and countless noble causes. Where others see politics, Obi sees people. His actions speak louder than the noise of his critics: a leader who gives not for applause but from conviction.

No politician can sway me with promises of what I already possess in abundance. My unwavering support for Peter Obi stems from his rare and consistent character—a blend of competence, compassion, unshakable integrity and his knack for numbers and statistics. He is not just a politician; he is a true Nigerian leader who genuinely cares for the people.

With pride and resolve, I declare my support for Mr. Peter Obi’s 2027 presidential ambition. He represents hope for a Nigeria where leadership is defined by service, not power. Join us in building a nation led by a man who walks the talk—because Obi is not just a choice, he is a movement. New Nigeria is PO-ssible ✊🏽 #ObidientForLife

Instead of representing Nigeria at the international stage as the giant of Africa, Tinubu chose to sign a deal just for Ogun, something the state governor and a minister or VP could have done. Misplaced priority.

Where Is Nigeria’s President?

The dynamic President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, delivered a remarkable address at the 81st United Nations General Assembly. The international community has commended his leadership and the substance of his address. It is a reminder of what leadership can produce when competence, capacity, compassion, commitment and character come together in the service of a nation.

Against this background, many are asking: Where is the President of Africa’s most populous nation, a country of more than 200 million people - more than Ghana - whose leader has been absent from the global stage for three consecutive UNGAs?

Nigeria’s President, who ought to be representing the country and providing leadership for Africa at the international level, has not attended any of these three global gatherings. Where is he, particularly at a time when the country faces significant challenges, both domestically and internationally?

Although our Vice President, Kashim Shettima, was present, the question remains: Where is the President? Let us continue to pray for his return and for his leadership in addressing the many challenges confronting the nation.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@Justice_Crack @Odogwu_cc Nigerians in diaspora, you can sponsor a vote for OK ticket. This is a genius idea.

Use 10% of what you send home every year as upkeep for your loved ones in Nigeria to nudge them to vote right.

If Nigeria becomes OK, the monthly billing on you will drastically reduce.

To all Nigerians in the diaspora, even though you may not be able to vote directly, you can still support someone back home to participate in the election.

You can support at least 10 people to exercise their civic responsibility—and you can even do more. If you live in the diaspora, you have seen how good governance can work, and you understand the kind of Nigeria many of us want to build at home.

Join Obidient Connect. Let’s support civic participation and work towards a better Nigeria in 2027.

Nigeria must be OK. 🇳🇬

MY VISIT TO DELTA STATE

On Thursday, 24th September, I joined our Governorship Candidate in Delta State, Deacon Chris Iyovwaye, other Delta State candidates, our party leaders, and members of our party for the launching of the NDC campaign office in Asaba, Delta State.

It was another opportunity to continue to spread our message and commitment to a better Nigeria. We must unite, secure our dear nation, and move it from consumption to production, create jobs, and pull our people out of poverty.

I sincerely thank our Governorship Candidate, other leaders, and members of our party in Delta State for their commitment to a better Delta State and Nigeria. I also sincerely thank the good people of Delta State for the wonderful reception and hospitality accorded to us.

A New Nigeria is Possible, and Nigeria will be OK. -PO

HE Peter Obi, why do you like to understate your achievements? You told Nigerians that you left 150M USD in the banks, but Alex Otti just confirmed that it was actually 155M USD. It’s ok to brag Sir, you are uncommon.

[Dr C. C Obiefule 🎱 @OcularPriest8]

Dear Peter Obi, there is no politician like you. Thank you for making it easy to support you. Whenever they bring up Soludo’s distraction and we ask them how much their former governors left in the coffers for their successors, their jaws drop in shame.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Yesterday, I spoke with ARISE News on the Anambra debt question and other issues affecting our nation.

In the interview, I clarified the facts surrounding the multilateral development funds accessed by Anambra State, the financial position I left behind in 2014, and the urgent need to focus on the hardships confronting Nigerians rather than on political distractions. I am Sharing this interview to correct factual details, clear all doubts, and put the issues in their proper perspective.

I have said this before, and I believe it is important to remind Nigerians of my position as we approach 2027.

Peter Obi has my support for the presidency.

But my position is clear, I am not supporting the idea of Peter Obi becoming somebody else’s Vice President.

The day Peter Obi accepts a Vice Presidential position, I will walk away from his corner. I have said this plainly, and I stand by it.

My concern is not about personalities. It is about the kind of leadership Nigeria needs and the direction in which we want our country to go.

I have also argued that we should begin to rethink the age of those seeking executive office. The Nigerian presidency should not become a retirement home for politicians.

I believe there should be a serious national conversation about limiting presidential and gubernatorial candidates to those aged 70 or below.

Nigeria needs leadership that is focused on the future, not simply another cycle of political succession.

These are principles I have stated publicly, and Nigerians should judge them for themselves.

ON THE ANAMBRA DEBT QUESTION

I have remained silent over the past few days because I have been grieving the loss of my very dear elder brother and friend, Chief Okey Ezeibe. However, the time has come for me to address some of the matters that have occupied public discussion in recent days.

I respectfully urge everyone to concentrate on the existential challenges confronting Nigeria and the hardships endured by its citizens, rather than on the needless distractions that have become widespread in our politics.

I wish to assure the public that I have no disagreement with my dear elder brother, Governor Soludo, or with any governor in Nigeria. I am not seeking the office of governor in any state, and I will not seek that position again, even if the Constitution is amended.

Accordingly, I appeal to governors to support whichever presidential candidate they choose while also permitting and assisting other presidential candidates and contenders for other offices to campaign freely and without interruption in their states. Ultimately, voters should be allowed to determine whom they wish to serve them.

Regarding the multilateral funding inaccurately described as “debt owed by Peter Obi” in Anambra State, I wish to state unequivocally:

As Governor of Anambra State, I did not approach any financial institution to borrow funds or issue a bond on behalf of the state. Indeed, at his farewell ceremony, the then Director-General of the DMO, Abraham Nwankwo, appointed me chairman and declared that, during his 10 years in office, I was the only state governor who had not approached him for a loan facility.

When I left office, the Anambra State Government owed no unpaid salaries, gratuities, or pensions. Neither did it owe any contractor or supplier who had completed work that the government had verified and certified.

Regarding development financing from the World Bank, these are concessionary development-support funds secured by the Federal Government for states selected by it to address specific needs. Repayment is spread over 25 to 30 years.

The Anambra State Government must therefore differentiate among three separate figures: the total amount approved for the multiyear development program; the amount Anambra State actually drew during my tenure; and the funding balance outstanding when I handed over on 17 March 2014.

The government has combined these distinct categories, added them together, and described the resulting US$123.77 million as “loans left by Peter Obi.” That is an incorrect application of public-sector accounting.

The eight facilities identified were primarily World Bank and IFAD development programs negotiated by the Federal Government, with participating states receiving access to the funds through subsidiary arrangements. They were not conventional commercial loans that I personally secured during my tenure.

This does not suggest that Anambra had no repayment responsibilities; rather, each facility must be examined in light of its approval, effectiveness, drawdown, and repayment record.

The clearest contradiction appears in the government’s own figures. It states that the original facilities amounted to approximately US$123.77 million and that US$92.35 million remained outstanding in June 2026. However, the DMO’s published records showed Anambra’s total external debt at approximately US$18 million when I began my tenure in March 2006, about US$30 million in March 2014, when I left office, and approximately US$45.15 million as of 31 December 2014, nine months after my departure.

The Anambra State Government must therefore clarify how a state whose recorded external debt was about US$30 million in March 2014 and US$45.15 million in December 2014 could supposedly have inherited US$123.77 million from Peter Obi, who left office in March of that same year.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

On the day I left office, I left more than US$150 million as the dollar component of my investment in Anambra State as governor. I hereby provide documents that can be verified with the various banks. Had it remained untouched, this investment was expected to provide Anambra State with approximately US$10 million in annual income.

Even if their assertion were accurate—which it is not—that Anambra owed US$123 million, the government could have used the US$10 million generated annually from my savings to reduce the debt. It has now been 13 years since I left office, which would amount to US$130 million. The debt should have been fully settled by now.

Had they retained the funds I left in the bank, including the compound interest on the principal and the additional income, the total would be approximately US$335 million today. If they had chosen to repay the US$92.35 million funding, the entire amount would have been covered, leaving approximately US$242 million to be reinvested. That sum would have generated about US$20 million annually for Anambra State.

Let me reiterate that, when I left office, I left Anambra State in a strong financial position—the strongest of any state in Nigeria—and I stand by that position.

Through this clarification, I wish to state categorically that I will neither engage nor trade words with anyone regarding my tenure in Anambra State. My focus will now be on issues affecting the suffering Nigerian masses, which is the reason for my presidential ambition.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
