A NEW DIMENSION OF TOXIC POLITICS This morning, Peter Obi arrived at the airport at 7 a.m. to board his flight to Enugu. There, he saw our girls. The Nigeria U-17 Flamingos. Young, proud, and fresh from representing this country. With joy, he asked to greet them. To welcome them home. To tell them, "Well done, Nigeria is proud of you." But he was stopped. NFF officials told him not to come close, because if he did, they would lose their jobs. Let that sink in. In Nigeria today, greeting our own daughters has become a sackable offence. Shaking hands has become a political crime. Showing love has become a risk. This is not politics anymore. This is fear. This is not the first time. In Uyo, on March 25, 2025, the same thing happened. Government officials greeted the players. Peter Obi was blocked. What are we teaching these young girls? That some Nigerians are too dangerous to say hello to? That love for country must pass through political approval? A nation that fears a greeting has lost its soul. The Flamingos did not play for APC. They did not play for Labour Party. They played for Nigeria. Every Nigerian has the right to celebrate them. A New Nigeria cannot be built on intimidation, fear, and division. It must be built on unity, respect, and shared humanity. If we cannot greet our children together, how can we ever build a country together? A New Nigeria is POssible.

A NEW DIMENSION OF TOXIC POLITICS IN NIGERIA The new dimension of toxic politics that Nigeria has developed since 2025, I arrived at the airport at 7 a.m. this morning to board my flight to Enugu. There, I saw the Nigeria Under-17 girls' team, which had just arrived and was preparing to board its vehicle into town. With genuine joy and enthusiasm, I asked my Protocol Officer, Jackie Wayas, to find out whether I could greet and welcome the team. I was informed that officials of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) had refused and had requested that I not approach them because, if I did, they would all lose their jobs. Regrettably, this is not the first time I have been subjected to such treatment. On March 25, 2025, I was in Uyo for the World Cup qualifier. The governor warmly received me and welcomed me at the VIP stand. Following the match, other government officials went to greet the players, but I was again prevented from doing so. I was told by the officials that they would lose their jobs if I proceeded. It is deeply troubling to witness the extent of toxic politics into which our nation has descended since 2025. Each year appears to bring further deterioration. This reflects how deeply Nigeria has been affected. The new Nigeria we aspire to build must have no room for hostility, intimidation, or discrimination, regardless of political affiliation. It must be a Nigeria in which unity, mutual respect, and our shared humanity take precedence over political differences. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
