Lokoja Judgment: An Unnecessary Serious Setback for Nigerian Democracy

Today was an exceptionally busy day. I left Lagos in the early hours for Emekuku, where I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, an institution I have consistently supported over the years. It was gratifying to inspect projects funded through my previous interventions, including the school’s computer laboratory. Such investments reaffirm my belief that education remains one of the strongest foundations for national development.

From there, I attended the 80th birthday celebration of the Emeritus Archbishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Dr Anthony Obinna, whose commitment to justice, peace, and the common good has inspired many, before proceeding to Madonna University for another engagement.

It was at Madonna University that I received the court news of the Lokoja court rulings through my brother, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

Every Nigerian committed to the country’s progress should be deeply concerned. This judgment represents another setback for our democracy and the institutions upon which our future depends.

It is regrettable that some who claim to champion democracy now appear determined to weaken the very institutions that sustain it. In doing so, they are undermining public confidence and endangering the future of millions of Nigerians.

The legislature and the judiciary are increasingly being drawn into this pattern of institutional decline. Democracy cannot thrive where institutions lose their independence and credibility.

Those who seek to weaken Nigeria’s democratic foundations will not ultimately prevail. When a similar situation recently affected the ADC, I condemned it without hesitation. I do so again today because my position has always been guided by principle.

My concern is not about who becomes President. My concern is that Nigeria works. Our politics must move beyond the quest for power and focus instead on building a united nation founded on justice, strong institutions, the rule of law, and equal opportunity. That is the Nigeria we owe ourselves and the one we must leave for future generations.

I therefore urge all well-meaning Nigerians to rise above partisan interests and defend our democracy. The survival of our institutions is inseparable from the survival of our nation. It's when we work together that a new Nigeria of our dream is made POssible. -PO

Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,

After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.

You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.

It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.

In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.

I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.

You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.

If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.

Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.

I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.

My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Dear Nigerians,

This is a Special Appreciation to all Obidients Worldwide. Wherever you are in this world, just know that WE see you. I don’t think I have done this before, & no thank you will ever be enough!

You are sensitive, I always enjoy your emotional intelligence. Then you are smart, you are loving & kind; you have a special way of showing it.

I come to you like I always do. As one of you, I have just ONE passionate appeal to make.

“Peter Obi is just a man. He is one, not two. He cannot possibly attend to every situation. The man is not perfect, but he is perfect for us.

Supporting him because you believe he has those qualities that other candidates don't possess is the right thing to do. Don’t support because you think you’re better than others.”

The Obidient Movement started small, but we’ve grown so much. We are all equals. As far as I know, no one is bigger than the others.

Just know that you are worthy; every Obidient matter! Again, we started small. “Four People Tweeting” in a room they said! But today? WE ARE LARGE, WE CONTAIN MULTITUDES! 💪

Now we’ve grown so much………….

Nigerians know who we are! Africans know who we are! The world does! Nigeria became a scarecrow of itself. Things got to a climax.

It was time someone made a stand………

We entered the scene, & everywhere changed! Suddenly, people began to ask questions. We achieved the insanely unthinkable. Now pat yourselves on the back, WE DID THAT SHIT!

However, now is the time for unity more than anything else. We need togetherness, not rancor. This is not a sport. We are not in a popularity contest. Nigeria is at stake. Our lives are at stake. Democracy is in mortal danger.

Thugs “masquerading” as elites have taken over our county. The inmates have taken over the asylum. Remember, “we are underdogs.”

We led you in battle, & we are going to lead you in battle again. Nigeria has changed, & generally for the worse. THIS WAS NOT THE DREAM THAT WAS NIGERIA; I don’t know what it is!

We have to band together, not bicker.
There is more that unites us than divides us.

Look around you, you & I not so different.
Look at your neighbor. We are cut from the same strand of DNA. We have a flair for the dramatic, & that’s okay. We are young, we have much to learn. Learn from loss. Learn from Peter. He has fortitude, & fortitude is strength!

From loss comes victory. We are the story of victory, how underdogs finally get to WIN.

But we have much work to do. As your fairy godmother, I'm still in the business of bringing everyone together. I haven’t changed, I’m still the General you know. Let’s bury the hatchet, & heal from the wounds of the past. Let bygones be bygones. MOBILIZATION HAS STARTED!

We have to adopt her model. She puts in so much work. Do kindly look to @D_goodybag. She does exactly what it says on the tin. 👍

This time? We have to triple our efforts. Please go out & preach the OK GOSPEL. Spread the word to all the corners of Nigeria. Let them know that Nigeria is in mortal danger. Tell everyone WHY we fight, & WHAT we fight for.

Do so, FOR THE GLORY OF NIGERIA. 🙏🇳🇬

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.

I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.

Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.

We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.

More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.

We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.

Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.

Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.

However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.

Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.

And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.

There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?

Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Everybody must understand why👇🏾

Tinubu Must Go!!!

[Ibrahim H Abdulkarim @ziter001]

Dear Esteemed Members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC),

Fellow patriots and nation-builders,

As we stand at this critical crossroads in Nigeria’s history, one truth rings louder than ever: Peter Obi is the perfect candidate to defeat the APC and Tinubu in 2027 and to finally deliver the Nigeria of our dreams.

Why? Because he is the president Nigeria can actually afford.

Unlike other aspirants weighed down by heavy political baggage, Peter Obi carries none of the burdens that have crippled previous leaderships:
*No large family obligations draining public resources
*No army of political associates demanding contracts and favours
*No expensive lifestyle or taste for luxury that turns governance into a personal ATM
*No cabal waiting to hijack the Villa
*No long list of enemies to fight or decades-old grudges to settle
*No foreign liabilities or diploma controversies
*No belief in marabouts or supernatural powers dictating policy
*No interfering First Lady or First Family turning the seat of power into a family enterprise
*No Weakness that comes with old age

He comes clean, focused, and ready to work for Nigeria and not for himself or a small circle of cronies.

But Peter Obi is not just “affordable” PO is highly effective. His agility and energy are unmatched. He moves across the country with ease, listens to the people, and makes decisions without drama.

He will:
1. Ruthlessly cut the cost of governance so that every kobo works for the people
2. Spend government money wisely, strictly on priorities that matter
3. Channel massive resources into human capital; education, health, and lifting millions out of poverty
4. Place National Unity for Prosperity at the very top of his agenda; one nation, one destiny, shared progress
5. Our institutions will be strengthened and made truly independent, free from interference by any arm of government.
6. True separation of powers will return: Federal, State, and Local Governments will function as genuine partners, not rivals.
7. Security agencies will be fully empowered, properly funded, and focused on protecting every Nigerian’s life and property.

This is not just another campaign promise. This is Peter Obi’s proven track record speaking for itself, a man who has governed before with integrity, frugality, and results.

ADC members, the moment has come. The people are tired of recycled politics, expensive governance, and broken promises.
They are hungry for a leader they can trust, afford, and be proud of.

Let us rally behind Peter Obi, the man who can defeat APC/Tinubu not with money or machinery, but with character, compassion, competence, and a clear vision.

Together, we will build the Nigeria of our dreams: secure, united, prosperous, and truly for all.

A president we can afford🤝
Peter Obi for President 2027!

[Bolaji Abdullahi @BolajiADC]

WHY AMUPITAN MUST RESIGN NOW.

The recent revelation linking a pro-Bola Ahmed Tinubu tweet of 2023 to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Amupitan, is not merely disturbing, it is a grave affront to the integrity of our electoral system.

In a democracy, the umpire must be above suspicion. He must not only be independent, he must be seen, beyond any reasonable doubt, to be independent. That is the minimum standard required of anyone entrusted with the sacred duty of conducting free and fair elections.

However, more troubling is the desperate attempt to tamper with digital records, to erase evidence of his previous partisanship.

This is not a trivial matter. It is a calculated assault on truth and accountability.

A man who manipulates records to save himself cannot be trusted to safeguard the mandate of millions.

Over the past few days, it has been repeatedly revealed that Professor Amupitan, by his conduct, his utterances, and now by incontrovertible digital evidence, has fallen far below the standard expected of an electoral umpire. The referee cannot be running around in the shirt of one of the teams he’s supposed to officiate in a match.

This is why Professor Amupitan must resign.

Now. Anything less is an insult to the Nigerian people and a dangerous precedent for our democracy. Relying on this evidence, ADC will be updating our petitions to all relevant institutions, including to foreign governments and the Nigeria Bar Association, NBA.

We will also renew and escalate our civil disobedience action until the INEC Chairman leaves office.

We, members and leaders of the ADC, and other well-meaning Nigerians, lovers of democracy, are saying that our democracy must not be killed. We say NO to a one-party system and for that today we’re calling out Nigerians who believe in unity, peace, and security of our country to join us as we defend democracy in our land.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Let us reflect, sincerely and without sentiment.

In the past few days, the President has reportedly approved ₦3.3 trillion as a “full and final” payment for debts in the power sector. Yet, this is not the first time such approvals have been made.

On May 17, 2024, ₦3.3 trillion was approved for the same purpose. On July 25, 2024, another ₦4 trillion bond was approved to settle similar debts. There have also been other approvals in between, all targeted at addressing the same power sector liabilities.

This raises a fundamental question: were the previous approvals mere announcements without execution?

₦3.3 Trillion Again? Nigeria’s Power Crisis Without End

During the 2023 campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a clear promise: that if he failed to deliver stable electricity, Nigerians should not re-elect him. Today, the reality is that power supply has worsened, to the extent that there are even discussions about disconnecting the Presidential Villa from the national grid.

Each time legitimate concerns are raised, what we see appears more like policy pronouncements than measurable progress.

Now, again, we are confronted with another ₦3.3 trillion approval to settle power sector debts.

These debts were largely accumulated under successive administrations of the All Progressives Congress between 2015 and 2025. This raises serious concerns about accountability, transparency, and effectiveness in public financial management.

It is important to note that government institutions and agencies, including the Presidential Villa owe a significant portion of these debts. Year after year, budgets were made and funds appropriated. Why then were these obligations not settled when due? And from what source will this new payment be made? Are we resorting once more to borrowing to service inefficiencies?

Key questions remain unanswered: How did the debt accrue? What is the actual total debt in the power sector? Which components of the debts are due to operators’ inefficiency and should be borne by them? Why have previous approvals not translated into tangible improvements? Who are the real beneficiaries of these repeated payments?

Is the ₦3.3 trillion approved on April 6, 2026, the same as the ₦3.3 trillion approved in May 2024, and how does it relate to the ₦4 trillion bond approved in July 2024?

Nigeria must move beyond recycled announcements and confront the power sector crisis with sincerity, transparency, and decisive reforms.

Until we do so, we will remain trapped in a cycle of debt and darkness.

But with discipline, accountability, and the right leadership, a new Nigeria is still possible. -PO

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Yesterday defenders of democracy, today's destroyers, What a shame.

What an irony of history, that the acclaimed defenders of democracy and human rights who claimed to have fought for democracy during the era of General Sani Abacha now find themselves worse than the man they opposed.

Today, General Sani Abacha, once presumed face of oppression, will be remembered as seemingly more democratic and more respectful of human rights than the so-called champions of activism from the NADECO days. Power indeed reveals character.

Sunday Jackson spent months detained over what was widely considered an act of self-defence. His case only moved forward after external advocacy including pressure linked to U.S. Congressman Riley Moore.
This isn’t a story about foreign heroes.
