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

Dear Nigerians,
It is deeply concerning that a sitting state party chairman of the APC, in Edo State Jarret Tenebe, was reportedly accredited as an “election observer” during yesterday’s Ekiti State governorship election.
Election observation is supposed to be anchored on neutrality, independence, and strict non-partisanship. It exists to protect public confidence in the electoral process by ensuring that those who assess elections have no political stake in the outcome. When that standard is blurred, the credibility of the entire exercise is called into question.
The idea that a senior political actor actively involved in party leadership structures can be placed in an observer role during an election where political interests are directly at play raises serious concerns about conflict of interest. Even if framed as party representation or civic engagement, it still contradicts the spirit of impartial electoral oversight.
INEC’s accreditation process is meant to safeguard trust in elections. However, when politically exposed individuals are granted observer status, it sends a troubling signal that the boundaries meant to protect neutrality are not being strictly enforced. This not only fuels suspicion but also weakens public confidence in the integrity of the process.
Democracy is not only about ballots and results; it is also about the systems that ensure fairness and transparency. When those systems appear compromised or inconsistently applied, the legitimacy of outcomes no matter who wins becomes harder for citizens to accept.
For Nigeria’s democracy to grow stronger, election observation must remain strictly in the hands of independent and non-partisan actors. Anything less risks turning a democratic safeguard into a political tool. #EkitiDecides2026 #GetInvolved @YIAGA
This man is is Emperor Jarret Tenebe, the current chairman of APC in Edo State.
In May 2025, Ahmed Tinubu appointed him as the Governing Board Chairman of the Federal College of Agriculture, Akure (FCA) as a thank you for all his previous riggings.
In March 2026, he successfully translated his interim leadership into a unanimous 4-year term, during the state consensus congress, securing his position as the ultimate administrator of the ruling party in Edo State until 2030.
You can't even challenge this, because that's what the drvggie in aso Rock said.
In June, 2026 he has served as one of the INEC observers for the jus concluded Ekiti election, which saw APC as the winning party.
This is against INEC Guidelines for Election Observation, accreditation in which observers are strictly required to be independent, neutral, and non-partisan.
These men are eating off the future of the youths who protect them.
Amupitan is here to deliver APC in 2027, but he too will be shocked.
They can do all their local anyhowness, that rotten fish head will be replaced 2027
NDC presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, this morning donated ₦10 million to Mother of Christ Specialist Hospital in Enugu State following the fire incident that affected parts of the hospital a few weeks ago.
In Support of Healthcare Delivery and Human Dignity
Today, I visited the Mother of Christ Specialist Hospital, Enugu State, which was recently affected by a devastating fire incident. During the visit, I inspected the damaged sections of the hospital, including the children’s ward, and made a donation of ₦10 million to support the ongoing renovation efforts.
I commend the Reverend Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the hospital management for their commitment to healthcare delivery and service to humanity. Their sacrifice and dedication, often carried out with little recognition, remain invaluable to our society.
Healthcare and education are among the most critical needs of any nation. No meaningful development can occur where these sectors are neglected. It is, therefore, imperative that we continue to support institutions and individuals working tirelessly to provide quality healthcare and educational services to our people.
I encourage the management not to relent in their noble mission despite the challenges they face. As a society, we must collectively invest in and strengthen facilities for healthcare, education, and poverty alleviation.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Tales of two Eastern governors.
Both are Technocrats, in same field, while one retired as the Governor of all banks the other retired as the chairman of a single bank.
While both serve in the same administration, One doesn't talk about the presidency, the other brags and insists of how he would influence the relection of PBAT .
While they both have children,
One has his son creating new dance steps wearing only apante, the other doesn't have his children disgracing his state.
While they both have predecessors, one keeps dragging his innocent brother, who didn't steal from states account, while the other allows his those who ruined his state walk freely
While they both have the responsibility to govern their different states, one has successfully chased fake dibias & pastors out of his state leaving the real ones to operate, while the other is successful projecting a 25yrs development model for his state to to the world.
