I honestly feel like we should be working together, @mreazi. Over the past two years, nobody in Nigeria has moved the needle for the football ecosystem more than I have. I’ve built grassroots tournaments, 5 Aside events, Corporate Competition, celebrity matches, female football matches and school cups completely from scratch.
Last year we had 16 schools compete at our University games: we scaled our crowd pull from less than 1,000 to packing out a 5,000-capacity stadium, creating a platform that launched local talent straight into Nigerian clubs and European leagues.
I see what you’re building with BetPawa and your 1v1 vision, and I know I’m your guy. This is me shooting my shot to join the team. All I ask is for 5 minutes of your time to show you what I bring to the table.
I am grateful that his excellency Mr Peter Obi came to appreciate the medical team who gave their services to me free of charge on the #65Freeadenotonsillectomy surgery initiative .
Mr Peter Obi will be a caring president to all Nigerians you can take that to the bank.
The promise by his excellency of Donating an Anesthetic Machine which is running into millions to the hospital to enable perform more surgeries for all specialities was touching to me
I pray God will open our eyes to see the President we need is the one that will love the people enough to transform the health sector. That man is Peter Obi, he is a detribalized man.
I am deeply grateful to all who supported me.
I am most grateful to my 86year old pensioner father who asked me where I was going to get funding and when I said it’s me and my friends gave me some funds to support me and told me to make sure there were no complications.
I said “ Daddy there will be no complications “ I have carefully selected the best in lagos to work with me
Now I want to do cataract surgeries for free, I don’t know how I will do it but it will be done.
I learnt from Mr Peter Obi the importance of money: impact lives generationally I.e legacies that outlive me
I thank Nigerians for all your prayers and publicity.
A President and the Endless Question of His Past
As a citizen of no other country, who has never sought foreign citizenship even when doing so became fashionable, my loyalty to Nigeria and my faith in her destiny remain unshaken.
Yesterday, 30th of August, being Sunday, I fervently prayed for our nation and for those entrusted with the solemn responsibility of leadership. I found myself deeply saddened by the direction in which our country is heading.
It is profoundly embarrassing that we have reached a point where a sitting President is asking a foreign court to withhold records concerning his past, particularly records relating to matters of legitimate public interest.
Leadership, in my humble view, demands the courage and humility to confront one’s history — to acknowledge mistakes, provide candid explanations where questions arise, and, where necessary, apologise and seek forgiveness. True authority is strengthened, not diminished, when a leader accepts responsibility rather than seeks to shield uncomfortable aspects of the past from legitimate scrutiny.
This becomes particularly important when questions concern educational credentials. Issues surrounding foundational schooling — primary and secondary — should not remain unresolved or be addressed primarily through legal proceedings. Nigerians deserve clear, credible, and verifiable explanations, especially when such had been submitted in the past.
My deepest concern is the example this sets for more than 200 million Nigerians, particularly the over 30 million young people in schools. The nation’s highest office should exemplify integrity, accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership.
An imperfect past is part of the human condition. What matters is the willingness to confront it with humility, honesty and deep apology, to make amends where necessary and, when circumstances so demand, to place the interests of the nation above personal ambition.
When will our political class fully appreciate that individual ambitions are temporary, while the nation endures? The Presidency is an office held for a season; the moral standards established by those who occupy it can influence generations.
Nigeria is greater than any one person, and the integrity of the Republic must always come before the interests of the individual.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
It was an absolute pleasure working with @_bedge on HE Peter Obi’s campaign portraits.
Bedge is a long-standing and highly regarded photographer whose work has received international recognition, including features in publications such as British Vogue. Working with someone who has spent years mastering his craft was a privilege.
It also speaks to something Peter Obi consistently emphasizes: the ability to recognize expertise, bring the right people together, and allow everyone to contribute their best towards achieving the desired outcome.
That is exactly what Nigeria needs. A country where competence comes first, where we bring the best hands to the table and work together to get the job done. We need a leader with the capacity, compassion, competence and physical stamina to move around, listen to Nigerians, understand their challenges and solve problems.
Nigeria needs the best man for the job and that man is Peter Obi.

Nigeria Has Everything It Needs to Prosper
Yesterday, I had the privilege of joining some presidential candidates and their representatives as a guest and panellist at the 66th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Our discussion focused on how to rebuild Nigeria and make it work for its resilient, hardworking, and long-suffering people.
I reiterated my long-held view that the poverty and hunger Nigerians face today are largely the result of years of mismanagement and corruption by leaders entrusted with our commonwealth.
With our vast human and natural resources, Nigeria has no business being associated with extreme poverty and hunger. We have no business importing food when we possess enormous agricultural potential.
With the right investment, policies, and political will, agriculture can become one of Nigeria’s greatest sources of wealth. Northern Nigeria’s vast farmland, in particular, can drive major economic transformation. If countries with fewer resources have transformed their agricultural sectors, Nigeria can feed itself, create millions of jobs, and export food to the world.
On fuel subsidy removal, I remain committed to the position I took in 2023: the subsidy system was riddled with corruption. My approach was to eliminate the corruption, establish the actual subsidy cost, and then carry out a carefully planned, phased removal.
Savings from subsidy removal should have been transparently invested in clearly defined, measurable development priorities, especially agriculture, healthcare, education, poverty reduction, and security. I remain convinced that subsidy removal must deliver real benefits to Nigerians; citizens should not bear higher energy costs while the savings remain unaccounted for or fail to improve their lives. Nigeria must focus its investments on what matters most: food security, healthcare, education, infrastructure, human capital, national security, and unity.
Nigeria has all it needs to prosper. What remains is competent, honest, and purposeful leadership that puts the common good above personal interests.
A New Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK. -PO
Today marks the official nationwide kickoff of the presidential campaign for all political parties.
For Peter Obi, the ask is simple: give him four years, not eight. His ambition is not about clinging to power for eight years. It is about using four years to lay the foundation for a New Nigeria strong enough to outlive any one administration.
Four years of discipline, competence, accountability and purposeful leadership can change the direction of our country.
Today, the journey to laying the foundation for a New Nigeria begins.

I was invited to a Space as guest speaker with @ruthietalks2 and her team.
One of the speakers asked me why I was supporting someone over 60 years old in the person of Peter Obi suggesting that young people in Nigeria should go for a younger candidate
I replied that among all the candidates, Peter Obi has the CV that all young people should aspire for. As a young person, that should be the trajectory you should aspire for if you want to be a business or political leader. Amongst the current lineup of candidates, he is the most qualified.
The conversation of grooming a young person can start now as we head towards 2031 but as for 2027, he is the most qualified candidate.
Please hear Peter Obi’s CV
Campaign starts today and this is why I’m supporting Peter Obi.
I will also be supporting and posting various candidates too in the NDC. It will be a marathon race.
Let us all support them.
Adeleke cannot force Osun people to vote Tinubu.
He can pledge support to him, and it’s his choice.
We will also not allow Adeleke to rig in favor of anyone in 2027.
Leave us to face Tinubu with our PVCs.
