Yoruba,Male, MPPA.RT is not endorsement. Voice of reason, frown at stupid behaviour & political rascality of all kinds. Views are mine and not my organisations.
The people critiquing Obi here do not understand his tweet and it is a shame that some of them if not all are graduate. When he tweet about not wearing mourning cloth but instead Agbada, it is not about literally the physical atire Tinubu and others wore to the event. Peter Obi is talking about the whole atmosphere that ought to be a sober reflection , a solemn moment, but instead what we saw was pageantry like display and reflection as if they are in celebration mood. It is a metaphoric use of words to describe the event.
What we saw yesterday with children lining up by the road side inside the rain and also the event that led to it was disgusting and disappointing.
Guys, this is the notorious Samagi, a terrorist responsible for terrorizing Sayaya under Matazu Local Government Area (LGA) in Katsina State, was neutralized today.
I just googled why UK PM, Keir Starmer resigned, and I almost choked with laughter
Declining popularity
Unrest in his party
Cost of living crisis
Appointee controversies etc
Our Leaders are stealing a living, they'll be watching the BBC this morning and won't be able to believe their luck 😂
Peter Obi has called for the resignation of Tinubu.
Watch Agbado members in collaboration with ADC members attack Peter Obi.
ADC boys will never attack Peter Obi.
Nigeria has an illiterate majority, and they keep deciding the fate of the literate minority.
This is what happened in 2015 and it’s gotten worse ever since.
Even during the era of military rule, we rarely witnessed this level of rascality in our courtrooms. Today, the sanctity and dignity of Nigeria’s courts appear to be under increasing assault, and both you and I know where this culture of impunity originates.
Justice should not be reflected merely in judicial pronouncements; it must also be evident in the conduct of those who appear before the courts and swear to uphold their sanctity and authority.
Ichabod.

Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility
This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.
The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.
Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.
During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.
At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.
I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO
I think as at June 22nd 2026, any Nigerian home and abroad that says they don’t know who they will vote for OR who says “They are all the same” should not be taken seriously.
Ignore such a person.
"One thing that particularly impressed me was how INEC made the voting process easier for registered voters. Many people believe that if they do not have their PVC with them, they cannot vote. However, at each polling unit, INEC printed and pasted the names of all registered voters on the wall for easy access.
This meant that a voter could simply go to the list, locate their name, and write down the last six digits of their PVC number. They would then proceed to the accreditation point, provide those six digits, and the BVAS would retrieve their details for verification. Once successfully accredited, they could proceed to vote."
The above maybe commendable, but anyone can go and copy any name and vote, especially if there are not strict checks from the staff holding the BVAS or if they are compromised .
Damn!! 39 years ago. Someone who held the AEPC at the time had an annual “high spending” of roughly $250,000. 39 years ago. And Obi keeps stating these things publicly. A man with that level of historical integrity, in a country like ours, deserves a chance to lead Nigeria, at least once.
