It's time for Nigerians and Africans to show total respect and support to the @POTUS and @DOGE leadership for this timely revelation. Indeed, this is victory for righteous leadership and true democracy.
Again,will Nigerians remained silent after this immense discovery that @OfficialAPCNg , @officialABAT ,@MBuhari ,@KashimSM all complicit in the killing and insecurity of the people of Nigeria since 2014? They must be held accountable. It is now time for all Nigerians to rise up on behalf of the many souls that Boko Haram, ISWAP, herdsmen, bandits have destroyed. The many business and properties wasted, and the increasing poverty and hunger in the land.
The time is now!!
How Hired Thugs Obstructed My Visit to Benue State
Yesterday, I attended the opening of the national campaign office of an opposition presidential candidate, Governor Seyi Makinde in Abuja. My presence was intended to demonstrate that politics can and should be conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect and civility. As Governor of Anambra State, I made it a point during electioneering to welcome visiting opposition members personally, provided they acted within the ambits of the law.
Guided by that same commitment to decency over partisanship, I travelled to Benue this morning, arriving at approximately 9:00 a.m. on a purely humanitarian mission: to visit the grieving families affected by the horrific killings in Yelwata, where over 270 people were massacred.
Regrettably, our convoy was prevented from proceeding to the community by thugs chanting, “Peter Obi, go back.” It was deeply distressing to witness such hostility. I came to Benue not for partisan politics, but to mourn with our people, to listen to families who have lost loved ones, and to offer comfort at a moment of unimaginable sorrow. That a mission intended purely to show solidarity, compassion, and support could be obstructed in this manner is deeply alarming.
At a time when our nation should be united in grief and resolute in preventing further bloodshed, we must reject any action capable of deepening our divisions. The people of Benue - and all Nigerians - deserve to sleep without fear. They deserve to travel without fear. They deserve to cultivate their land without fear. Above all, they deserve a country where the state places the protection of human life far above political expediency.
Although we were unable to reach the community today, our thoughts and prayers remain steadfastly with the victims, their families, and the entire Yelwata community. We shall continue to work until the primary responsibility of government - the safeguarding of every Nigerian life - is restored. Until then, we cannot truly say we have built the nation our people deserve.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Do you know that the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu generated more reaction from Arewa Twitter than the recent revelation of a northern senator sponsoring terrorism?
Stinking hypocrites!!!
Today, the Delta State NDC gubernitoral candidate for the 2027 election, Deacon Chris Iyovwaye welcomed over one thousand Ika North APC members into NDC.
APC is dead!
NDC is the party.
Nigeria is OK ✌️
A man detained for demanding freedom is not a criminal. He is a mirror showing the world what injustice looks like. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu#BiafraNow@UN@AmnestyOnline
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has spent years in detention for a "crime" no court can properly define. Silence is complicity. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu @HumanRightsWatch @UN
You cannot cage an idea. You can only delay its arrival. FREE MAZI NNAMDI KANU. #XTuesday #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu @amnesty
A quashed charge does not disappear because a government wants it to. The law was bent to keep one man in chains. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu @ICC_CPI@UNHumanRights
Every day Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains detained is a day Nigeria's justice system stands on trial too. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu #XTuesday @AmnestyNigeria
He asked for nothing but self-determination for his people. That should never be a crime anywhere in the free world. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu @UN_HRC
Abducted from Kenya. Tried under contested law. Still standing. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's resilience should shame his captors. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu @amnesty@HRW
If Nigeria has nothing to hide, let Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's trial be fully transparent, fully fair, and fully public. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu @NigeriaGov
Millions of Biafrans are still waiting for one word: FREEDOM. Say his name today. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu #XTuesday
A government that fears one man's voice this much has already told you how powerful that voice is. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu @UN@amnesty
Justice delayed for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is justice denied to every Biafran still hoping for a homeland. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu #BiafraNow
The world watched Nelson Mandela's imprisonment become a global cause. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's should be no different. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu @UN_HRC@amnesty
Detained. Denied. Determined. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has not broken, and neither will we. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu #XTuesday
No lawful basis. No fair trial. No excuse. FREE MAZI NNAMDI KANU NOW. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu @ICC_CPI @HumanRightsWatch
Today we speak. Tomorrow we speak louder. Until Mazi Nnamdi Kanu walks free, this voice does not rest. #FreeMaziNnamdiKanu #BiafraNow #XTuesday
Do you know how brazen you have to be to come out and disrupt the free movement of the presidential candidate of the NDC, Mr. Peter Obi, and still, in the same act, wear a uniform or clothing with the APC logo?
Like, they know they are coming to do this thing, but they still feel nothing will happen to them. They still wear APC clothing to come and disrupt the legal movement of another citizen.
That is how brazen the APC is, and this is the low they are trying to take Nigeria to.
Everyone must wise up in 2027 and see clearly that if we allow the APC to come back, Nigeria will never recover from it in the next 50 years.
Happening now: Governor Alia of Benue State that cannot protect his people is mobilizing thugs to stop Mr Peter Obi the presidential candidate of the NDC. #nigeria#politics
I’m not quite sure how we can collectively curb this rascality going on everywhere in the country.
It must be curbed with immediate effect as it’s a cancer to society.
Look at Benue state as a case study.
“We did not proceed because we cannot behave as rascally as the government. We would have confronted them. I call on the government to stop this anarchy; it consumes everybody.” — Peter Obi
We arrived in Benue this morning at about 9 a.m. with His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, with one simple and deeply human purpose: to visit the victims and families affected by the horrific massacre in Yelwata, where over 250 people were reportedly killed. We came to mourn. We came to console. We came to stand with our fellow Nigerians at a moment of unimaginable pain. But, unfortunately, we were stopped from reaching Yelwata.
What makes this particularly disturbing is the information that has been reliably communicated to us concerning what happened. We were informed that different groups had allegedly been organised and positioned at various locations, beginning from the airport and along the route towards Yelwata, with the apparent intention of preventing Mr. Peter Obi from reaching the community.
The Governor's SSA on Youths was involved in organising some of these groups, with individuals were carrying knives, clubs and firearms. Whether one supports Mr Peter Obi or not, no responsible government should ever allow political differences to degenerate into the obstruction or intimidation of a peaceful presidential candidate, particularly one travelling to visit victims of a massacre.
INEC has flagged off the campaign period. Mr. Peter Obi is a presidential candidate participating in Nigeria's democratic process. At such a time, every security agency has a duty to protect him, just as it has a duty to protect every other candidate and every Nigerian. So what happened today raises a fundamental question: Where was the government? Where were the security agencies? Why should a presidential candidate require a struggle simply to reach Nigerians who are grieving? And, most importantly, why would anybody want to prevent a condolence visit to people who have lost their loved ones?
This is bigger than Peter Obi. This is bigger than the NDC. This is bigger than Benue. This is about the kind of country we are becoming. If government machinery can allegedly be mobilised to obstruct a peaceful visit by a presidential candidate, then we must have the courage to say that something has gone terribly wrong with our democracy. Government is not supposed to be an instrument of intimidation. Security agencies are not political weapons. Public office is not private property. And the people of Nigeria are not subjects to be controlled.
I find it deeply troubling that while citizens are crying for protection from terrorists, bandits and other violent actors, political energy can allegedly be directed towards stopping a presidential candidate from visiting the very people who have suffered such violence. That is not leadership. That is a failure of priorities.
The people of Yelwata do not need political calculations. They need security. They need justice. They need compensation and rehabilitation. They need their government to stand beside them. And Nigerians need a political system where candidates can travel freely, citizens can associate freely, and security agencies protect everyone impartially.
We cannot continue like this. Nigeria deserves better than political thuggery. Nigeria deserves better than intimidation. Nigeria deserves better than a government that appears more interested in controlling political movement than protecting human lives.
Today, we were prevented from reaching Yelwata.
But the suffering of the people cannot be blocked by barricades. Their pain cannot be silenced by thugs. Their dead cannot be erased by politics.
The Nigerian people are watching. And history will remember not only those who were killed, but also how those in positions of authority responded when their people needed them most.
This is the Nigeria we must change. A Nigeria where government protects, rather than intimidates. A Nigeria where security serves the people, rather than political interests. A Nigeria where every life matters. And a Nigeria where, when tragedy strikes, leadership does not stay away. Leadership shows up. -DrMo
@yeripros I have told Nigerians to prepare more than the Iranians did.
@OfficialAPCNg and @officialABAT is bringing war in 2027.
But guess what, the West he is depending on for support will abandon him when Nigerians revolt.
