Yesterday, I had the honour of hosting my brother and partner, His Excellency Peter Obi, at my residence in Abuja.

I warmly welcomed him back from his highly productive international trip, and we engaged in frank and productive discussions on key partisan and national issues.

Our party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), remains united. As leaders, we must continue to demonstrate maturity by making the necessary sacrifices and tolerating our differences in pursuit of our shared goal.

We are resolute in this mission, and together, we shall ensure that Nigeria is OK. - RMK

I can see some peddling the narrative saying because president Tinubu had over 10 million votes against osifo he will have the votes in the next election!

Such narratives are a rabid pretext to miscalculation

Please retweet this post and take a screenshot for the world to see that Nafiu Bala resigned as at Aug2025 and there was ZERO controversies about his resignation UNTIL someone sinister decided to later use him to forment chaos in the ADC.

If anything happens to first Niger bridge hold Nigerian police, custom and road safety responsible.

Why would you station over 10 check points within 200meters to the bridge thereby causing serious holdup on the bridge.

The way the bridge vibrated yesterday with lots of heavy-duties on the bridge was scary!

This should not be treated with kids glove!

Celebrating the 2025 Ofala Festival of the Obi of Onitsha

Yesterday, I had the honour of attending the 2025 Ofala Festival of His Majesty, Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe (Agbogidi), in Onitsha, Anambra State.

The Ofala Festival remains one of our most cherished cultural celebrations, and I have had the privilege of attending it often since my secondary school days at Christ the King College, Onitsha. It is a time when the people of Onitsha come together to honour their revered monarch, celebrate unity, showcase rich cultural heritage, and give thanks to God for life and progress.

It was truly heartwarming to behold the vibrant display of tradition that has stood the test of time and continues to define the identity of our people.

I deeply commend His Majesty, Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe, for his exemplary leadership, wisdom, and commitment to preserving our traditions. His reign continues to inspire a sense of unity and progress among the people.

May the Almighty continue to bless him with long life, wisdom, and good health, and may the land of Onitsha continue to flourish in peace, prosperity, and joy.

Happy Ofala Festival to all sons and daughters of Onitsha, at home and in the diaspora. May our culture and unity continue to thrive. -PO

Lest we forget, If I Don't Give You Constant Electricity in The Next 4 Years, Don't Vote For Me For Second Term

The impact is too glaring for Nigerians to forget the promise of Mr. President while campaigning on 22nd December 2022 that: "If I Don't Give You Constant Electricity in The Next 4 Years, Don't Vote For Me For Second Term".

For a nation already stated to have more people living without electricity than anywhere in the world, there could not be any more firm comforting political promise than this.

Yet APC and its current Government have presided over more national grid failures and power outages than any government in our history. There are now repeated blackouts despite billions in power investments.

Over the years, billions of dollars have been spent on the power sector in Nigeria. In fact, Nigeria has spent more on power generation with little or no increase in supply, than countries like Vietnam, Egypt, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. Yet, while some of these nations have proudly doubled their electricity generation, and distribution by adding tens of thousands of megawatts to transform their economies and increase their GDP, Nigeria has barely crawled from 4,500MW to 5,000MW.

With a GDP of about $200 billion, Nigeria has the capacity to significantly boost its economy if it invests properly in electricity. Generating even a bare minimum of 10,000MW could raise our GDP by about 50%, which will unlock industrial growth, and create millions of jobs. But rather than focusing on this, which will improve our economy, we are focused on coastal roads that will contribute far less to our economic growth, while factories shut down, jobs disappear, businesses collapse, and ordinary Nigerians live in darkness.

Mr. President, it is time to prioritise generating and distributing more electricity to power businesses, especially NSME, which will create jobs and grow the economy.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

MISSION V ACCOMPLISHED

Congratulations D’TIGRESS, you did it.
You played like true queens of the court, fearless, fast, and unstoppable.

Again, you’ve made Nigeria proud, you’ve made Africa proud, and you’ve made history by being the AfroBasket champions 5 times in a row.

To the players, thank you for giving us your absolute best, for pouring your heart into every game, and for showing the world what Nigerian excellence looks like. Your prowess on the court was exceptional.

And to Coach Wakama, thank you for your leadership, strategy, and belief in this team, you guided them like a true champion maker.

Congratulations Queens @DtigressNG, you are indomitable. -PO

My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is Sacrosanct

One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship.

It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.

I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent.

Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn’t be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.

I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation.

In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word.

My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity.

If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.

I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal.

We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances.

Forty-eight months is enough for any leader who is focused and prepared to make a meaningful difference. In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to:

sanitise our governance system;
tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation;
catalyse small businesses as engines of growth ; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve.

Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors.

These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

In November 2022, while campaigning in Delta State, the then APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu, now the President, berated the other Presidential Candidate (Peter Obi), he was ashamed to call his name, saying "Na statistics we go chop all I want is to put food on the table of Nigerians”.

Now 2 years into his 4-year tenure, Nigeria is classified as one of the hungriest nations in the world with millions of Nigerians not knowing where their next meal will come from.

President Tinubu is now overfeeding Nigerians with wrong Statistics from wrong unemployment figures, wrong inflation figures, and now GDP rebasing, all to put a positive spin on our deteriorating economic and household conditions.

Governance is not a rocket science, it's not a gamble, like I have always reiterated, it requires sincerity of purpose, character, competence, capacity and compassion.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Nwoke Agulu (Anyafurugo ) @OkoyeCardinal]

This is a response to Wike's question. He asked if Peter Obi ever shared food when he was a Governor.

This is evidence of Mr. Peter Obi personally serving food during his tenure as Governor.

Why does JAMB expire in 1 year?

A student scores 320 in JAMB but doesn’t get admission.

Next year, same student must pay to write again — not because they failed, but because JAMB expires in one year.

WAEC lasts for life. SAT lasts 5 years. Why is JAMB the exception?

Thank You All

From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank everyone for the outpouring of goodwill and birthday wishes I received worldwide. I remain deeply grateful to all who marked the day in one way or another, not to mention Nigerian youths, the Obidient family and the members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, renowned for their apostolate to the poor.

As for me, while I deeply appreciate the gestures of celebration, I must once again reiterate that I do not personally celebrate birthdays. I recall vividly when I turned 50, during my time as Governor. Many institutions and individuals approached me with elaborate plans for the occasion.

One institution generously offered to build a house for me in the village. When I asked for the estimated cost, they said it would be ₦120 million. I humbly requested that the funds be redirected to build classrooms in three educational institutions at Agulu, Ekwulobia and Abatete. They obliged—and the impact was far-reaching.

Another group had budgeted ₦20 million for a lavish party. I graciously asked them to consider using the funds to purchase desktop computers for schools. Their eventual donation of 200 desktops was distributed to schools across the state, enhancing learning for many students.

In a similar spirit of redirection, another organisation—whose intention had originally been to celebrate me—ended up donating buses, which we distributed to institutions in need, including one that went to the legendary Old Rangers Association.

This has been my consistent approach over the years. On each birthday, I use the opportunity to redirect goodwill towards causes that uplift others.

As I turned 64 years old yesterday, I must confess that the current state of our nation makes the idea of personal merriment even more difficult to contemplate. The scale of suffering and deprivation among our people weighs heavily on the conscience. This is why I have once again requested that all those who wish to celebrate me should instead channel their resources towards helping the poor or supporting our struggling health and educational institutions.

On my part, I have chosen this day to renew my personal commitment to continue supporting the institutions of state in the best way I can, especially those that directly serve the people.

Providentially, I was in Rome, at the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs, and my birthday coincided with this visit. I used this sacred opportunity, as I always do when I am in Nigeria, to remember you all in prayer. I especially prayed for our beloved country, Nigeria—that God may touch the hearts of our leaders, and awaken in them the realisation that public funds are meant for the public good.

May we all find strength and grace to keep striving for a more just, compassionate, and equitable society.

Thank you, once again. -PO

Fellow Nigerians, please remember Mr Emmanuel Chukwu, the man that gave up his over $85 million investment to save over 1000 Nigerians in Liberia during the 1989 Liberian War.

He was promised compensation but bureaucracy sat on his file up till now.

Non of the people he helped has come to say thank you and it’s sad.

His wife is permanently blind as a result of the aftereffect of their loss.

He’s from Enugu State but currently living in Lagos where his wife is battling terminal diseases.

Please, remember this honest and true Nigerian. He deserves recognition and honour while he’s alive.

Dear @DavidHundeyin

I have followed your work and often appreciated your insights, but your comparison of Brexit to Nnamdi Kanu’s struggle for Biafra exposes a glaring bias and a fundamental misunderstanding of self-determination.

You seem eager to paint Kanu in a negative light while ignoring historical precedents where nations and peoples have exercised their right to self-determination.

If the UK had the right to leave the EU without being labeled as extremist, why is Biafra’s call for independence different?

The USSR, Czechoslovakia, Sudan, and even the UK itself (with Scotland’s referendum) have all undergone peaceful separations.

Ireland had to fight a brutal war to break free from British rule.

Why then should Igbos be condemned to remain in an arrangement that stifles them?

Your attempt to label IPOB as a terrorist group follows the same script used against Nelson Mandela, who was once called a terrorist for fighting apartheid.

You do not understand even a fraction of the struggles Igbos face daily, yet you dismiss their legitimate desire for freedom.

Instead of pushing a biased narrative, perhaps you should stick to discussing topics you actually understand. I am convinced that your knowledge of the Biafran desire to break from Nigeria is shallow.

Best wishes,
Preacher
