Yesterday, while in Washington, D.C., I had the privilege of meeting with a group of young Nigerian professionals — medical doctors and other healthcare professionals, educators, lawyers, engineers, technology experts, entrepreneurs and business leaders.
It was an engaging and encouraging conversation about Nigeria, the challenges before us, and the kind of country we must work together to build.
Our discussions centered largely on good governance and the urgent reforms Nigeria needs today. I reminded them that, important as our economic, political, and institutional reforms are, the most important reform Nigeria needs is the reform of leadership itself.
No nation can rise above the character, competence, capacity, and commitment of those entrusted with its leadership.
Nigeria is blessed.
We are not lacking in intelligent people. We are not lacking in natural resources. We are not lacking in hardworking and innovative young people. What we have lacked for far too long is leadership that genuinely puts the people first and treats public resources as a sacred trust.
We need leadership that strengthens our institutions, invests seriously in education and healthcare, supports businesses and entrepreneurs, creates jobs and opportunities for our young people, and gives every Nigerian a reason to believe that hard work can still lead to a better life.
Meeting these young Nigerians in Washington once again reminded me of the extraordinary talent our country has produced.
Across the world, Nigerians are making remarkable contributions in medicine, technology, engineering, law, education, business, and many other fields. Our diaspora should never be seen as people who have simply left Nigeria. They remain an important part of Nigeria and must be partners in rebuilding our country.
We must build a Nigeria where our young people do not have to leave their country in order to fulfil their dreams, and where those already abroad can confidently return, invest, contribute and participate in our national development.
That Nigeria is possible.
But it will not happen by accident.
It will require responsible and compassionate leadership, stronger institutions, prudent management of our resources, and, above all, citizens who refuse to give up on Nigeria.
I remain convinced that our greatest resource is not beneath our soil; it is our people.
If we get leadership right, we can get Nigeria right.
We must continue to believe. We must continue to work. And we must continue to demand a country that works for everyone.
A New Nigeria is POssible. - PO

WHY I AM RUNNING
Good Morning, Rivers State,
I address you today with humility, gratitude and a clear sense of duty. We are children of the same soil. Whether we come from the riverine communities or the upland communities, whether we were born here or have built our lives here, we share the benefits when Rivers State succeeds and the consequences when it fails. I am asking for your trust because I believe political power must return to public purpose.
For too long, political conflict has consumed attention that should have gone into jobs, schools, healthcare, safer communities, working infrastructure and stronger businesses. The cost of this crisis is not only found in economic estimates. It is found in postponed government decisions, weakened citizens' confidence, projects delayed or abandoned, businesses that did not expand, young people who waited too long for opportunity, and communities that watched politics become louder than governance.
I do not believe that our people are condemned to fear, factionalisation or permanent quarrel. We can disagree without making enemies of one another. We can compete without violence. We can protect the dignity of every community without turning government into the property of any godfather, faction or private political estate. **Rivers State belongs to the people.**
Rivers State possesses much of what it needs to succeed: human resources, energy and gas, ports and waterways, industrial experience, including enormous potential in tourism, blue economy, agriculture, culture and creativity, and the commercial strength of Port Harcourt. Our challenge is conversion, turning these assets into reliable power, productive firms, safer movement, skilled work, stronger local businesses, better public services and more secure household incomes.
That is why I am running: to move Rivers State from politics without purpose to disciplined and committed public work; from sharing poverty to creating prosperity; and from a State known mainly for oil and gas to a State respected for what its people built, produced and became.
** Rivers State belongs to the people. It needs a Reset.**
We must return to the proper rules and habits of good government, from fear to purpose; from conflict to competence; from noise to work; from political connection to fair opportunity; and from public wealth that is difficult to see in people's lives to a government that can be judged by clear results.
Reset is not revenge.
For me, Reset Rivers State has six clear implications:
▪︎ We must reset politics so that it becomes peaceful, civil and purposeful;
▪︎ We must reset government so that institutions are honest, predictable and competent;
▪︎ We must reset the economy so that production, services, logistics, enterprise and exports matter more than dependence on monthly allocation;
▪︎ We must reset opportunity so that work, finance, markets and advancement do not depend on political connection;
▪︎ We must reset trust through fairness, truth, continuity and respect for the rule of law;
▪︎ We must reset our commitment to the environment so that clean water, monitoring, emergency response, remediation and resilience are treated as public safety and economic justice.
Our vision is long term but remains honest about what one administration can do. We will lay the foundation for moving Rivers State from the current approximation of a US$20bn economy to one that will become a US$200bn economy in fifteen years.
We will lay the essential foundations for safer politics, honest public finance, more reliable power supply, better logistics, serviced industrial land, thriving tourism sector, employer-linked skills, stronger farms and fisheries, cleaner and safer communities, and projects prepared well enough to attract serious finance and reach operationalisation.
APC has nothing to campaign with,
No Road
No school
No hospitals
Just NELFRAUD and COASTAL FLOOD which only exists on Paper.
APC is Evil
They are going out
