Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,
After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cupโat a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absentโI felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.
You are more of stakeholders in Nigeriaโs future than I am. I am 64 years old; by Godโs grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.
It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.
In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18โenough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nationโs future.
I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.
You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.
If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.
Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.
I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.
My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Rufai Oseni: โYou keep criticizing President Tinubu over the removal of fuel subsidy. What would you have done differently?โ
Mr Peter Obi: โI didn't criticize Tinubu for removing the subsidy. I said I would have removed it, but in an organized manner. I wouldn't have announced it at my inauguration. I would have first sat down with operators in the industry because we know there is a lot of crim!nality around the subsidy.
I would remove it to determine the exact amount being spent on subsidy and also address the issue of exchange rate deregulation. But in doing these things, the most important thing is to fight corruption head-on. Since the subsidy was removed, what has been the impact on the average Nigerian? We have even borrowed more money than we used to when subsidy was still in place.โ
โ NDC presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi.
BEFORE YOU SLEEP
Sadly, one of the abducted schoolchildren kidn@pped in Oyo State, Ahoro Esinele, has reportedly died.
Days ago, photos of her in captivity showed she was already seriously ill. Last night, the kidn@ppers reportedly appeared on a TikTok live stream and announced her death, telling her mother they no longer had her child.
They may not have used a weapon, but captivity k!lled her. The hunger, beatings, cold nights, fear, and terrible conditions were too much for her young body to survive.
Her heartbroken mother said through tears: โI knew it. She was not very strong. On the day they were abducted, she only managed to go to school. Unfortunately, she never returned home.โ
No parent should ever experience the pain of a child leaving for school and never coming back alive.
Pray for her soul ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
