What exactly is Nigeria’s problem that Peter Obi can’t solve?

You guys realize you don’t need to be a genius to fix our problems?

Firstly, fire the defence chiefs. All of them. Promote new ones.

Unleash hell on the bandits. All of them. Use the might of the. Nigerian army.

This automatically frees up food movement from the Middlebelt and North to the rest of the nation.

Food prices start crashing. Then you move to economy.

Cushion the energy cost by restoring, partially, the subsidy.

That breaths life into the economy for the time being.

Then prioritize production by increasing energy output.

Moving from 5kwh to 11kwh like Peter promised will increase our productivity.

Start audacious agricultural programs in the vast expanse of the north and increase our export.

Commission, for real this time, actual refineries so that our oil production can reduce energy cost.

Diversify ports. Open ports in other places in the nation.

All these will are just off the top of my own head.

Then enforce zero based budgeting. Increase fiscal transparency and prudence.

Finally, consequences. Punish corruption with worst of consequences.

You will see foreign businesses come in when there’s trust.

You guys make fixing Nigeria look like an impossible mystery.

This same economy was growing at 6.2% yearly under Jonathan and we considered him a failure.

That’s what you all think Peter can’t fix?

OBI'S INTERVIEW WITH RUFAI OSENI
I write not to persuade anyone nor to make you feel I owe you an explanation, far from it. I write only because I can write and certain issues concerning my principal concerns me.
I have read different posts that represent different thoughts and I feel a lot of these thoughts are misguided and misleading. If at this point, a person still needs an interview to form an opinion about Peter Obi's intellect, then not much attention needs to be paid to such a person.
I have witnessed elections in Nigeria and I have seen candidates come and go but one thing that is different in today's Nigeria is the fact that for the first time, we are seeing a candidate who comes to Nigerians and the world at large as who he is. He is not pretending, he is not lying and he is not acting. He simply comes to you as @PeterObi .
More than any other candidate, this man has been scrutinized and almost stripped bare naked. Some people are so obsessed with him that if they could know the size of his scrotum, they wouldn't mind verifying it's veracity.
Peter Obi despite not being the president has done more for modern Nigeria than even the president. Just last week, he was at the EU, addressing delegates., the next day he is in another continent. He works round the clock to prove to the world that it is not yet gloom for Nigeria and that there is still hope.
While many people would like to judge him as regards the @ruffydfire interview, I feel the man didn't do badlyand all that we are seeing are just attacks by pained political enemies. When you come up with vague excuses like 'Perer Obi likes deflecting', the question to you is, all the questions he has answered in the past, what was the outcome? His ideas have been stolen and his policy statements used by the same people in government. A good example is the issue of Band A. He gave a brief about it in an interview and now it has been adopted without him getting any credit. So if the man has decided not to let the cat out of the bag anymore, kindly let him be.
There is no way, you can claim a man who speaks with delegates in European union and gives lectures and addresses in ivy league universities has a low IQ. It is basically impossible to state such except you are an imbecile yourself.

More than any politician in modern day Nigeria. Peter Obi has constantly put himself out there. Plain and simple for people to see. Those who love him, knows who he is and those who just dislike him will continue on the path of mischief. But only time separates the chaff from the wheat perfectly and may time wrought judgment on all those who peddle lies against the man known as Peter Obi.

[naijaPatriot @jollynony]

Peter Obi is no longer putting his ideas out in public.

I think I know why.

Grab a coffee it’s another long one.

Come with me to 2022 when Peter Obi made the racket of the subsidy regime mainstream. He said it was a criminal enterprise and he would tackle the criminality, and if it continued to be unsustainable he would remove it.

He compared Nigeria to Pakistan who have a similar population, as many cars, but consume 20million ltrs/day, while operators in Nigeria claimed subsidy money for 60 million ltrs/day.
He asked, “Who is drinking the rest?”
He made it easy for us to understand.

Stay with me here. He importantly made a commitment that the money saved would be visibly channelled into critical areas of development, “… and people will see it!”

Now here’s the rub. Because he has been open about his plans, and people trust him, he had inadvertently softened the ground for the heartless variant of subsidy removal that Tinubu did.

I submit that the lack of resistance that people showed was because the idea was popularised by a trustworthy person.

Tinubu seized the idea and warped it. He removed its human face so that it was the already rich, who had originally benefited from the corruption in the subsidy regime, that still landed on their feet. The rest of us were left holding the bag like suckers!

Then came May 29, 2023, inauguration day, when we heard, “Subsidy is gone!”
A thoughtless, soulless pronouncement of a king who forced himself on the people exerting revenge for not showing him love.

That’s how I see it — a power move against the people.

“You refused to vote for me, yet I am president and your life is like clay in my hands. Who’s crying now?”

How else could I make sense of it? Was it rank stupidity? You and I know that no one is that stupid.

Maybe it was pure conscienceless greed, where the only thing that mattered was the money that will not be paid as subsidies but can go to buying patronage and extending power.

Do you see how good ideas can be thoroughly corrupted in the hands of someone whose character and motivations are at odds with the people they’re meant to serve?

Now when we complain, his supporters will say, “Did your Messiah not say subsidy was bad and had to go?”

So yeah, I think Peter Obi has stopped softening the ground for their callousness to land without resistance.

Let them generate policies entirely on their own so people will judge them on execution and the impact on people’s lives.
No more heartless spins on good ideas that have been “marketed” by a trustworthy person.

PO now insists that we must vote on the merits of the character of the person making the promise.

Consider this. When Dangote declared that he would build Africa’s largest refinery, even people who were doubtful knew one thing — fail or succeed he would give it a good go.
It wasn’t the same kind of farting in the wind as, “If I don’t give you power after 4 years, don’t vote for me.”

Once people knew the site of the proposed refinery, they rushed to buy adjoining lands on the strength of the character and antecedents of the man Dangote.

So guys, Peter Obi is no longer popularising ideas. None of these ideas are rocket science, as he puts it, anyway. If you say you’re going to build a house, build it. It’s as simple as that.

Sure there are issues that will arise. Things that people don’t anticipate, problems are a constant in every project. But building a house is a known craft. The engineering is not esoteric.

Neither is large scale electricity which has been around for a century.

In recent times, similar countries as Nigeria have ramped up theirs — Egypt 28k MW, Indonesia 60k MW. Peter Obi had to visit them to see if they were using juju — they weren’t.

So when the man who conquered greed says I will generate and distribute 10k MW — I’d sooner believe and trust his commitment than the guys who have never seen a ₦1m they could steal and left it alone.

[Nostalgic Naija @NostalgicVibeNG]

This man is so consumed by power and presidential vanity that he’s naming a publicly funded road after himself complete with his full title: “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.”

The road is barely 10% complete. Yet the giant signpost is already up. One can almost picture him cruising past it, grinning at his own name, whispering, “This is my legacy.”

In my adult life, I’ve never seen anything this brazen in a democracy. This is the kind of behavior you expect from Saddam, Gaddafi, or other dictators desperate to etch their names into permanence.
In actual democracies, roads and monuments are usually named after leaders after they’re gone not while they’re still alive and the project is half-finished.

Only a pathological toponymic narcissist adds “President” and “GCFR” to a road sign.

Bola Tinubu just did exactly that.

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

Nigeria earned a whopping $6.5 billion from Oil Windfall. When will @officialABAT account for the “Profit oil” accrued to Nigeria as a result of the US-Iran War? Taiwo Oyedele should tell Nigerians how much was realized from Cost oil?

[Lekan Olayinka @lekan_olayinka1]

Good morning, Blessing @BlehisBack.

I wish you hadn’t blocked me; I would have responded better.

You say I will answer to God.

But that is the actual reason I engage you. Do you know this God? Do you answer to Him?

Blessing, if you knew God, would you have said the things you did in the past few weeks?

Blessing, do you know the gravity of what you did and why people rightly oppose you on it?

It is not because you support BAT, or hate Peter Obi.

It is because you play with the real suffering of Nigerians by giving Tinubu a moral platform when he is the source of their nightmare.

You constantly compare Tinubu with Peter Obi, and each time you claim he is astronomically more intelligent and competent than he is.

That right there is a shockwave against many Nigerians.

If you say the man who is ravaging them with unprecedented poverty, insecurity, and hellish living conditions;

is better than the man who objectively has integrity, empathy, compassion, a record of political uprightness, and statistically proven governance that only enriched lives-

then you are telling them the architect of their suffering is somehow justified in the hell he is unleashing on them.

Blessing, that is what you have done. You have called evil good.

Do you know what Scripture says about that?

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20

Blessing, I will even steelman your argument.

Let’s say you localize Tinubu’s “intelligence” to the economy.

You are here telling Nigerians that the man whose policies have wiped out the middle class is intelligent?

Blessing, the man you praise, deducted around 34 trillion naira, 41% of federal revenue, before it landed in the federal accounts.

This man awarded around 15 trillion naira in unbidded contracts to a man with whom he has affiliations.

Blessing, the reforms of the man you praise have now brought the number of Nigerians in poverty to 129 million.

That’s like the whole of:

Germany (84M)
Netherlands (18M)
Belgium (12M)
Austria (9M)
Denmark (6M)

not being able to afford food.

Blessing, you praise that man, and you are a Christian.

That is why people keep mentioning your name.

It is as though your heart is cold and dark, and you will praise evil even as it crushes millions with silent pain.

Finally, you put Tinubu on a moral pedestal that is like stamping their heads mercilessly into the dust.

You put him beside Peter Obi. Now, no one says you should like him.

But imagine someone poisons the well of a town, and 3,000 children and women drink from it, killing them all.

Corpses litter everywhere. Bodies bloated and black, flies hovering over their cold, dead eyes.

Then there is another man in the same town who actually adopted 16 homeless children and raised them healthily.

Imagine comparing these because the man who killed 3,000 by poisoning the well built a bus stop for drivers to load passengers.

That is what you do with Tinubu and Peter Obi.

This man is overseeing the death of your fellow Nigerians at the hands of terrorists.

Like, he literally does not care.

Blessing, girls your age and peers are being raped by dirty, drugged bandits in turns.

One called her father not to bother paying the ransom.

She had already been violated by them and would kill herself.

Tinubu’s Defence Chief calls those who do that their brothers and sons.

You praise the man responsible for that. Children are in captivity now. Babies.

You praise the man who could not spare 10 minutes to visit those slaughtered in Jos.

Again, you will say you will not vote for him.

But you praise him, and constantly compare him with an objectively good and clean man whose government transformed lives.

Peter has donated around 300 to 500 million naira to schools and hospitals.

You, Blessing, compare that to a man whose son wears a 340 million naira Richard Mille while a teacher was beheaded in captivity.

That, Blessing, is the reason many see you as almost soulless.

I am sorry for the harsh term. But that is what it looks like.

Lastly, you said I will answer to God. I will, indeed.

But the question is: you, with these things you proudly, boastfully, and defiantly support, do you know that God?

Perhaps, maybe it is something to think about.

Have a nice day.

[Mayor Of Calabar @Uno_009]

Rufai Oseni: “You keep criticizing President Tinubu over the removal of fuel subsidy. What would you have done differently?”

Peter Obi: “I never criticized President Tinubu for removing the fuel subsidy. In fact, I have always maintained that I would have removed it as well, but in a more organized and strategic manner.

I would not have announced its removal on inauguration day. My first step would have been to engage stakeholders and operators in the petroleum sector, knowing fully well that there are significant irregularities and corruption surrounding the subsidy regime.

The subsidy would still be removed to establish the actual amount being spent and to address issues related to exchange rate deregulation. However, these reforms must go hand in hand with a serious fight against corruption.

The key question is: since the subsidy was removed, what tangible benefits have ordinary Nigerians seen? Despite the removal, the country has continued to borrow heavily, even more than it did when the subsidy was still in place.”

-Presidential candidate, peter Obi

This is wisdom at its finest. This is the kind of leader that would make Nigerians proud to call him their President, a man who speaks with clarity, understands the issues, and offers solutions to it.

From personal observation, I have come to doubt the academic acumen of most Nigeria professors. It seems their professorial status was achieved thru copy and paste. Because how could any sensible intellectual "professor" be in politics with a performance below below average. Lacks critical thinking skills as displayed in their buccal displacement. It's the same Naija professors that colludes with politicians to rig elections and damage democratic process. I don't rate professors in Naija. Of course there are exceptions: Professor Nnenna Oti and such like her (is there anyone in her category, I will like to know)

Yesterday, I joined my brother, the Governor of Ebonyi State — His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru — alongside other progressives in Abakaliki to stand with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

The time has come for us to unite. Enough of the politics of lamentations.

Ndi Igbo, we must move from the alliance of protest to the alliance for progress — an alliance for prosperity. We must unite. We must not waste our votes again.

Progressives are working together for a renewed and prosperous Nigeria.

Oshiomole said it was four people tweeting in a room.

El'rufai said Obi won't get 200 votes in KADUNA

Deji said he won't win a state.

Atiku mockingly said the youth should go and vote him.

They said he had no structure.
But he insisted Nigerians are his structures.

What happened afterwards? He won 12 states including Lagos and the FCT, he won all military formation where election could not be rigged including the Aso Rock.

He was rig out in Lagos, Bayelsa, AKWA IBOM, Rivers and do many other state.

They had to glitch the IREV to prevent the whole world from seeing how much Obi disgraced them at the polls.

They assigned him 6.1m votes despite not having structures or any institutional backing or support from any big politians.

They now want you to believe he cannot win this time that Bola Tinubu incompetence has been exposed.

Obi will win 2027 election in a land slide, but strategies must be put in place to ensure that our vote count this time.

Celebrating Global Excellence in Our Youth.

I am immensely proud to see the official tweet from former U.S. President @BarackObama , celebrating the incredible brilliance of our own Njideka @AkunyiliCrosby . Her exceptional talent has brought our shared history to the global stage through the unveiling of the first joint portrait of President Obama and former First Lady @MichelleObama .

This monumental achievement is a powerful reminder to Nigerian youths of what is possible when talent is met with hard work and discipline. Njideka, who is also the daughter of our late Dr Chike and Prof. Dora Akunyili, embodies the very best of the excellent Nigerian spirit.

As the great philosopher Aristotle rightly noted, excellence is not an accident; it is a habit, the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution. Njideka's global success proves that true greatness comes from this consistent, daily dedication to one's craft.

I urge our young people to look up to
individuals like her as true role models. Success is not found in shortcuts, but in the relentless pursuit of excellence, honouring one's roots, and using your gifts to make a global impact. If we remain committed to merit and hard work, the new Nigeria we desire will be built by such exemplary minds.

With focused and hard-working youths, a new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

This latest assault on our democracy must not be allowed to stand. The court-ordered deregistration of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and other opposition parties is nothing short of a brazen attempt to strangle Opposition and hand Nigeria over to a one-party state by judicial fiat.
I have fought for democracy my entire adult life. I stood on the streets for #BringBackOurGirls, I have spoken truth to power under different administrations, and I entered partisan politics because I believe in a Nigeria where citizens have real choices and not a predetermined outcome. Today, I condemn in the strongest possible terms the Federal High Court judgment that seeks to deregister ADC, Accord Party, Action Alliance, Action Peoples Party, and Zenith Labour Party.

Section 225A of the Constitution was never intended to be a weapon for eliminating opposition voices. The judiciary is once again showing that it is willing tool for perpetuating injustice instead of enforcing justice.

To INEC and the forces behind this judgment, Nigerians have endured too much economic hardship, insecurity, and broken promises to now accept the death of democracy. This democracy we now enjoy was made possible by the sacrifices of a lot of Nigerians, some of whom paid the ultimate price. They gave their lives for Nigeria to be a democratic nation.

To my fellow citizens, this is not a time to be silent. This is not about ADC or any single party. This is about whether Nigeria will remain a democracy or slide into authoritarian rule where only one voice is permitted. Raise your voices. Demand that INEC respects the will of the people and that the judiciary stops being used as a tool for political elimination.

Democracy is not a gift from those in power; it is a right we must defend every single day. I stand with every Nigerian who believes in choice, in competition of ideas, and in a future where no one can simply deregister the opposition out of existence.

[Sam Amadi @SamAmadi]

Confusion on Deregistering ADC and Others

One of Nigeria’s enduring problem is low level of conceptualization in its institution building and reform. We have a habit of not thinking through the problems before crafting solutions based on prevailing notions or legal transplants from abroad. This problem of comprehension and conceptualization is mostly caused by lawyers who advise on institutional reform without much depth in social science analysis and logic.

What does the Constitution mean by providing for de de-registration of political parties? Why should political parties be de-registered?

Many people often argue that political parties are associations and therefore should be subject to administrative and judicial constraints. The notion is that the formation of political parties derives from the broad constitutional guarantee of the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of association in Section 40 of the Constitution.

It is true that political parties are a form of civil society. They are voluntary association. But with a difference. They are associations whose activities include “canvassing for votes in support of a candidate for election to the office of President, Vice-President, Governor, Deputy Governor or membership of a legislative house or of a local government council” as defined by Section 229. This means that political parties are associational group with a difference: they canvass for votes to form government. That makes them ‘governmental’ and therefore regulatable. Part of the regulation is what Section 225 of the Constitution and many sections of the electoral law provide. Leading US election theorist, David Schultz puts it clearly in his book, Election Law and Democratic Theory (2014), “Conceptually, ordinary language or usage of the term political party seems to assume that in fact they are somehow different from these other entities in term of their purposes. For-profit corporations are there to make money, unions to advocate for the rights of workers, and political parties to advocate for candidates and political causes of their choosing”. Political parties are a special category of associations that requires different regulation from other civi associations not engaged in political activities.

There are condition to be met before a voluntary association can be registered to canvass votes and form government. Similarly, there are conditions to be met to remain a registered political parties. Section 225 of the Constitutions provides the condition for de-registering parties. The first is when parties fail to meet the conditions of their registration. The main grounds for de-registration are as follows:

(b) failure to win at least twenty-five percent of votes cast in-
(i) one State of the Federation in a Presidential election, or
(ii) one Local Government of the State in a Governorship
election.
(c) failure to win at least-
(i) one ward in the Chairmanship election,
(ii) one seat in the National or State House of Assembly
election, or
(iii) one seat in the Councillorship election.

The main power about these provisions is that a party can only be de-registered based on performance in an election, not based on offices it occupies. This means that it is the votes of electorates that determine whether a party would continue or de-registered. It is not the office it occupies. If a party does not win electoral votes in an election in the categories mentioned, it should be de-registered, whether candidates defect to or from it.

What determines de-registration is amount of votes a party got, not how many elected offices a party occupies. Where a party did not meet these requirements of voting after a general election but receive defected official, it still does not meet the requirement and should be de-registered. In the vein, where a party meets the voting requirement but its elected officials decamp or defect to other parties and it does not have an official in elective public office, it meets 1/2

[Nigeria Democratic Congress @NigeriaNDCHQ]

The Federal High Court judgment deregistering the ADC, Accord, APP, ZLP and other opposition parties must be condemned by all and sundry.

We stand in solidarity with these opposition parties and call on every Nigerian to resist the attempt by the rudderless APC to drift our nation into a one-party state.

Sustainable Success Is Built on Competence, Integrity, Discipline and hardworking.

On Saturday, I had the privilege of interacting with young entrepreneurs, professionals, business leaders, and members of the emerging generation at the This Generation Conference hosted by Summit Bible Church in Abuja.

Our discussion focused on what it takes to thrive in the marketplace despite prevailing economic challenges. I shared insights from my years in business and public service, emphasizing that sustainable success is built on integrity, competence, discipline, and a commitment to creating value for society.

I reminded participants that no nation develops by consumption alone. Nations progress when their citizens are productive, innovative, and committed to excellence. Our young people must resist the temptation of shortcuts and instead embrace education, skills acquisition, entrepreneurship, and ethical leadership.

The future of Nigeria depends largely on the quality of leadership and enterprise this generation is willing to build. We must move from a culture of sharing poverty to one of creating prosperity through production, innovation, and responsible governance.

I left encouraged by the energy, intelligence, and determination of the young people I met. Their questions, ideas, and aspirations reaffirmed my belief that Nigeria’s greatest resource remains her people.

Together, through hard work, integrity, and purposeful leadership, we can build the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
