United for the Future of Delta State
Following the conclusion of the NDC governorship primary election in Delta State, I have continued consultations with leaders and stakeholders of our great party in the spirit of unity, inclusiveness, and collective progress.
I recently held fruitful engagements with His Excellency Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, former Deputy President of the Senate, Rt. Hon. Victor Ochei, former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, and my fellow aspirants, Deacon Ken Pela, Hon. Barr. Ejaife Omizu Odebala, and Rt. Hon. Chief Napoleon Gbinije. Our discussions focused on strengthening our party and advancing the progress of Delta State.
I am pleased to report that we are united by a shared vision to build a stronger, more formidable NDC capable of providing purposeful leadership and delivering real development for our people. While we entered the primary as contestants, we have emerged as partners working toward a common goal.
The maturity, cooperation, and commitment demonstrated throughout these engagements reaffirm that the NDC remains one united family. Our focus now is to deepen party unity, expand our support base, mobilize our people, and work together toward victory.
I sincerely thank our party leaders, stakeholders, supporters, youths, women, and all members of the NDC for their continued support and dedication. Let me assure every party member and every Deltan that we will continue to consult, collaborate, and build bridges across all divides as we work to Reset Delta.
The future is bright, and together we shall succeed.

Peter Obi’s recent engagement with the European Parliament underscores one of the strengths of his candidacy: his ability to build relationships that can advance Nigeria’s interests on the global stage.
In today’s interconnected world, a president’s credibility abroad directly impacts a nation’s ability to attract investment, secure trade partnerships, access development financing, and strengthen diplomatic ties.
Obi’s engagements with European institutions, Western policymakers, investors, and leaders across Africa position him as a bridge between Nigeria and the international community.
As president, these relationships could help restore confidence in Nigeria, attract foreign direct investment, expand export opportunities, deepen cooperation in education, technology, healthcare, and energy, and strengthen Nigeria’s voice in global affairs.
His interactions with other African leaders also align with the vision of greater regional integration, economic cooperation, and collective growth across the continent.
More importantly, Obi consistently presents Nigeria not as a nation seeking aid, but as a strategic partner with enormous human and economic potential. This approach can foster stronger bilateral relations based on mutual respect and shared prosperity, helping Nigeria reclaim its leadership position in Africa while earning greater influence and respect around the world.
His candidacy therefore represents not just a change in leadership, but an opportunity to reconnect Nigeria with the world, unlock international partnerships, and create the conditions for economic growth, job creation, and national development.

MALAM AMINU KANO'S IDEOLOGY AND THE EMANCIPATION OF THE TALAKAWA: FROM THEORY TO REALITY THROUGH KWANKWASIYYA AND THE EMERGENCE OF THE OK MOVEMENT
Introduction
The political history of Nigeria cannot be adequately discussed without recognizing the contributions of Malam Aminu Kano, one of the greatest advocates of social justice and popular democracy in Africa. Throughout his political career, he dedicated himself to the emancipation of the Talakawa—the ordinary people whose voices were often ignored by the ruling elite.
Malam Aminu Kano believed that government should serve the masses, protect the vulnerable, and create opportunities for all citizens regardless of family background, social status, or ethnicity. His philosophy inspired generations of politicians and activists who continue to advocate for a more just and equitable society.
The Talakawa Philosophy of Malam Aminu Kano
The cornerstone of Malam Aminu Kano's ideology was the belief that political power should be used to uplift the common people. Through the Northern Elements Progressive Union (NEPU), he challenged feudal structures and elite domination, advocating education, political participation, economic empowerment, and social justice.
His vision was revolutionary for its time. He sought a society where every citizen could maximize his or her potential and where leadership was measured by service to the people rather than privilege.
Although Malam Aminu Kano became one of the most influential political figures in Nigeria's history, circumstances and political realities denied him the opportunity to fully implement his vision through sustained executive power. Nevertheless, he succeeded in laying the ideological foundation for future generations committed to the cause of the Talakawa.
Kwankwasiyya: Reviving the Aminu Kano Legacy
Decades after Malam Aminu Kano's struggle, Senator emerged as one of the strongest political heirs to the Talakawa philosophy.
Through the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Kwankwaso revived and adapted many of Aminu Kano's principles to contemporary realities. His administration placed significant emphasis on education, infrastructure development, healthcare, youth empowerment, and social inclusion.
The slogan "Making the son of nobody become somebody" became a practical expression of the Talakawa philosophy. Thousands of young Nigerians from disadvantaged backgrounds benefited from educational opportunities, scholarships, skills acquisition programmes, and public service opportunities.
For many observers and supporters, Kwankwaso transformed what was once an ideological aspiration into a practical governance model, demonstrating that political power can be used as a tool for mass empowerment.
Historical Alliance Between the Core North and the South-East
One of the most important but often overlooked aspects of Nigeria's political history is the strategic alliance between the Core North and the South-East. Long before contemporary politics, leaders from both regions recognized that national unity and political stability could only be achieved through cooperation and mutual respect.
During the struggle for independence, the partnership between and Northern political leaders helped shape the emerging Nigerian state. Despite differences in geography, culture, and religion, they shared a common vision of a united and prosperous Nigeria.
The First Republic witnessed significant collaboration between political forces from Northern Nigeria and the Eastern Region, demonstrating that national leadership could transcend ethnic and regional boundaries. These alliances contributed to nation-building efforts and reinforced the principle that Nigeria's strength lies in its diversity.
The Second Republic and subsequent democratic transitions also witnessed important bridges between Northern and South-Eastern political actors. One of the most remarkable examples was the statesmanship of , whose commitment to national unity earned him respect
STOP WHATSOEVER YOU’RE DOING AND READ THIS:
We may have been reading this situation all wrong in the Obidient movement.
The attacks on Peter Obi from Atiku's camp seem to go far beyond the usual bitterness over Obi walking away from Atiku and the ADC alliance. There appears to be a deeper political calculation at play.
The story making the rounds is that an independent poll allegedly commissioned by Atiku showed something many thought was impossible: Peter Obi is gaining serious ground in parts of Northern Nigeria where conventional political wisdom said he had little chance.
If that story is even remotely accurate, then the panic suddenly makes sense.
How else do you explain the relentless ethnic and religious attacks? Why spend so much time demonizing Obi instead of selling Atiku's vision?
Why the obsession with a candidate who supposedly has no path to victory?
The more they attack Obi, the more they reveal what truly worries them: the possibility that the old political playbook is no longer working.
Nothing terrifies career politicians more than a candidate who starts breaking barriers they were convinced could never be crossed.
Peter Obi is the next president of Nigeria
My DM is filled with people who have PVC but couldn’t find their PVC credentials on the INEC website. Even people who voted in the FCT election months ago!
What kind of daylight disenfranchisement is this @inecnigeria?
What is going on 💔
No teleprompter
No prepared script
No notes
Clear thought & conviction
Articulate & Straight to the point
PO spoke confidently about 🇳🇬 & the future he envisions
This is what competence look like
This is the kind of leader we deserve
🇳🇬 will be OK 👌
If the insecurity is being sponsored against Tinubu, is it not Tinubu's responsibility to track the sponsors and expose them?
Are we saying Nigerians should keep dying because of Tinubu's ambition to remain president?

I do not think many Gen Z Africans have seen an African leader this confident, articulate, and eloquent on the world stage.
Imagine, just imagine for a second, that it was Bola Tinubu, Yoweri Museveni, Cyril Ramaphosa, Paul Biya, Teodoro Obiang, Denis Sassou Nguesso, Emmerson Mnangagwa, or Alassane Ouattara sitting there. The shame I felt while even writing this paragraph 🙈
Just look at the admiration on the faces of the parliament members. Look at how they listened to him. You need to see the respect in that room and how confidently they asked him questions because they knew he could answer clearly and intelligently.
This is what happens when competent leaders are given a chance.
Peter Obi is not just the man Nigeria needs. He represents the kind of leadership Africa desperately needs if we are ever going to regain respect on the global stage.
A leader who can speak clearly, think clearly, answer questions without embarrassing himself, and represent his people without making the continent look like a retirement home for tired politicians.
This is why most career African politicians do not want him to succeed. His presence alone exposes them. His clarity exposes their emptiness. His competence exposes their mediocrity.
Peter Obi is the standard they are afraid of.
Currently happening in Abuja Now.
What a protest....Big statement made....

Alhaji Ibrahim Hussain Abdulkareem (Ziter) has been a father figure to all, especially the youths of Kaduna State.
With him as governor, we can expect massive development and real youth involvement in governance something the youths of Kaduna have been praying for.
