@Iyoaiye_ Peter Obi isn’t just a politician, he’s a mindset. Zero tolerance for waste, deep knowledge of the economy, and genuine care for ordinary Nigerians. The only leader who makes the youth believe Nigeria can actually work. We are not tired. #PO is the answer.
@MasterBolaji olodo like you. so where is the money he removed from the subsidies? and he is still borrowing more than the senegal that is still paying subsidies.

Obi + Kwankwaso in NDC
That’s North + South, grassroots + data, experience + energy.
Add the Obidients movement + Kwankwasiyya base and you’ve got a real coalition, not just slogans.
Nigeria needs politics that works for everyone.

State visits by Leaders are not tourism, and diplomacy is not a fashion parade. Every foreign trip undertaken by a government must deliver measurable benefits to the people, including investments, technology transfer, trade agreements, factory expansion, industrial partnerships, and job creation.
During President Trump’s recent visit to China, the American delegation reportedly included a few top government officials, and many of the biggest figures in global business and technology:
Consequently, huge trade deals worth several billion dollars including about 200 Boeing orders were achieved.
The list of the entourage included
1. Donald J. Trump – President of the United States
2. Marco Rubio – Secretary of State
3. Pete Hegseth – Secretary of Defence
4. Elon Musk – CEO, Tesla & SpaceX
5. Jensen Huang – CEO, Nvidia
6. Tim Cook – CEO, Apple
7. Larry Fink – CEO, BlackRock
8. Stephen Schwarzman – CEO, Blackstone
9. Kelly Ortberg – CEO, Boeing
10. Brian Sikes – CEO, Cargill
11. Jane Fraser – CEO, Citigroup
12. Larry Culp – CEO, General Electric
13. David Solomon – CEO, Goldman Sachs
14. Sanjay Mehrotra – CEO, Micron Technology
15.Cristiano Amon – CEO, Qualcomm
16. Dina P. McCormick – President of Meta
17. Ryan McInerney – CEO, Visa
18. Michael Miebach – President, Mastercard
19. Jim Anderson – CEO, Coherent
20. Jacob Thaysen – CEO, Illumina
That is how serious nations approach diplomacy, by aligning foreign policy with economic expansion, industrial growth, innovation, and national productivity.
I hope that lessons can be learned from these recent visits comparing them with the President of Nigeria’s recent state visit to the United Kingdom.
A large entourage of politicians, aides, and government officials travelled, yet Nigerians are still asking a simple question: what exactly did Nigeria bring home?
Which factories are coming to Nigeria?
What power, technology, manufacturing, agricultural, or industrial agreements were secured?
How many direct jobs will this visit create for Nigerian youths?
What investments were attracted?
What measurable economic outcomes can the ordinary Nigerian point to?
The delegation reportedly included:
1. President Bola Tinubu
2. Senator (Mrs) Tinubu
3.12 governors
4.9 ministers
5.7 members of the National Assembly
6. Over 20 senior State House staff
7. Over 30 security personnel
8. Over 10 domestic staff
9. Several supporters and associates
It is not enough to ride horses, wear matching uniforms, attend royal banquets, and release glossy photographs. Symbolism without substance cannot feed hungry citizens.
Today, Nigeria is in decline, battling serious insecurity, food insecurity, unemployment, a weakened naira, declining industrial productivity, and worsening poverty.
At a time when millions of Nigerians struggle daily to afford food and survive economic hardship, every kobo spent on foreign trips must produce tangible national value: investments, factories, jobs, exports, infrastructure, and economic opportunities.
Nigeria needs leadership that is focused less on optics and more on productivity; less on ceremony and more on measurable economic results.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Peter Obi and Tinubu are not the same, no matter how many times you people chant it like a prayer.
Peter Obi outranks Tinubu in almost every measurable aspect of life, education, career, business credibility, family stability, global respect, public acceptance, governance record and personal discipline.
One is admired across the world for competence and prudence. The other is defended mainly through propaganda, intimidation and “every politician is bad” coping mechanisms.
Dislike Peter Obi all you want politically, that is your right. But trying to reduce him to the level of people who normalized criminality, state capture and dysfunction will never stand.
Nigeria has been arguing about “restructuring” for 50 years now because we are afraid to say the real word:
Aburi.
Aburi wasn’t about secession.
It was about power leaving the centre.
Nigeria briefly admitted the truth in 1967: the centre was too strong, the regions too weak.
The solution on the table was simple devolve power so no group needs permission from the centre to feel safe. That admission scared the centre, so it was diluted.
Every federalism argument since then is Aburi pretending to be something else:
State police? Aburi.
Resource control? Aburi.
True federalism? Aburi.
What we call “unity” today is just fear of decentralization.
Nigeria is more centralized now than under military rule, yet we keep lying to ourselves.
We didn’t reject Aburi because it would break Nigeria.
We rejected it because it would change who controls power.
Until that is confronted honestly, every constitutional conference, national dialogue, and restructuring committee will keep circling the same unresolved question:
How much power is the centre willing to let go?
