While Peter Obi stopped in Nise to encourage citizens registering for their PVCs, something unforgettable happened.
A blind man in the crowd began calling out, “Where is Peter Obi?” Peter Obi walked over, held his hand, and said, “I am Peter Obi.”
The man replied, “I heard you were here, so I came. I need help. The place where people with disabilities were cared for during your time as governor has been taken from us. We have been left on our own.”
Peter Obi listened attentively, supported him with a token for his immediate welfare, and assured him the matter would receive attention.
This is why many people speak about the impact of Peter Obi’s leadership with conviction. For them, it isn’t propaganda or political rhetoric, it’s lived experience and visible even to the blind.
Good leadership is remembered long after a tenure ends. It is felt in the lives it touches, especially by the most vulnerable.
It is safe to say that under a Peter Obi presidency, people with disabilities would not be forgotten, but included, protected, and treated with dignity.

My father, Comrade ABC Ubani JP took pictures with several governors of Anambra State including the present governor of the State, but in our family sitting room we only have enlarged pictures he took with Peter Obi, while he served as the governor of Anambra State.
I once asked him, what Peter Obi has done for him that made him practically decorate our sitting room with his pictures.
He first said, that I should snap a picture with a governor first beyond asking him that question.
He went further to say, that before Obi became governor, they (Anambra civil servants) saw hell with respect to worker's welfare, payment of pensions and gratuities. Both my parents were state civil servants, now pensioners.
My father has been a Labour union leader since 1994, so he understood the government-workers faceoff, before Peter Obi practically made life easier for workers in the state.
When he, my father who is now 74 years old retired to the village a few years ago, his portraits with Peter Obi was one of the things he took with him. He moved them from our family house in Awka to our family house in Enugwu-Ukwu, where he is now spending his last days while still serving as the State Secretary of the Nigerian Union of Pensioners, Anambra State, which makes him the longest serving union leader in Anambra state today.
The Comrade as I call him is a prolific writer who wrote so many bulletins against former State govenors of Anambra. When I was much younger he was arrested a few times for some of his controversial releases against governors of the State. I remember my mother, Mrs Rose Ubani searching for days to find where he and his colleagues were being held.
When Peter Obi was first removed from office, which should be around 2007 or 2008, I was about 16 years old. But I remember like it was yesterday my mother calling for us to fast and pray as a family for him to be reinstated, and we did fast - our welfare as a family dependend on that. Graciously, Obi made a comeback. Two comebacks, to the glory of God.
Therefore when you see me defending Peter Obi on this space, it is not for nothing. It is a burden I must discharge in appreciating a man who made the difference in the governance of Anambra State.
No Peter Obi slander will see the light of the day, once I'm here, and I will be here for a very long time!
When I criticise the current governor of Anambra state, is not out of hate, but for the love of Anambra. I criticised his predecessor and I know what it cost me. I do not mind paying a costlier price today.
My loyalty is not to any governor, but to my State, Anambra.
My name is Kingsley Ubani , and I'm just getting started.
I do not have the power to order the Nigerian security agencies to rescue my sister immediately. I do not have the money to pay the ₦40 million naira ransom the kidnappers are demanding before my sister can be released or they will k!ll her.
The only thing I have is my voice. I will use my voice to reach the world to let them know the evils that are happening in Nigeria @NigeriaGov@NGRPresident under the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT without efforts to stop them.
My younger sister must not d!e in the harsh and harrowing custody of the kidnappers. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT must rescue my sister alive and unhurt today.
Today makes it 10 gory Days in the den of kidnappers. She was kidnapped at Kabba, Kogi State, Nigeria, on Monday, 13 April 2026, on her way to Abuja.
I will sacrifice everything I can.
Rukayat Ayoni Lawal will not be used to pay for the gross incompetence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT.
Currently on the Island, and twice this week I've heard someone say "your name rings a bell", of course it will! They put me on blast for a year, and it registered in the consciousness of half of Lagos. Ozumba Mbadiwe that year..🙂↕️
@tochukwudev@_Eastender@leyeConnect To be clear, i said almost all. Ofcourse we can't capture all. So many factors affecting edtech in Africa, reason why edukoya had to pacl up even after raising $3m pre-seed.
We must have a system that can reduce OOSC in sub-saharan Africa and create access to quality education.
@tochukwudev@_Eastender@leyeConnect A handful of them you mean? We can't say same to most of them in surburbs and rural areas. We need a system that will capture almost all certified teachers and making them adopt this system is usually a big problem.
It must be for the African market.
@DoNtHe_KinG@anthropoorlogy This is the problem!
I keep saying, we need to understand our problems and unique ways to solve them. We need to build the infrastructure for modern tech to ride on.
So, a retired military general can rule Rivers State under democracy.
But, a retired military general should not protect his land under democracy?
