Yesterday, the Labour Party in Abia State successfully conducted its primary elections for the 2027 Governorship, National Assembly and State House of Assembly positions. I am humbled to have emerged as the Governorship candidate with 368,230 votes.
I sincerely thank the Labour Party Election Primary Committee, INEC officials led by the Abia State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof. Sylvia Agu, and our party leaders for ensuring a peaceful, transparent and rancour-free process. I also congratulate all our candidates who emerged across the State.
This marks the beginning of the real work ahead. Being chosen as candidates means we must now contend, campaign and convince the people. Election is about service and responsibility, and at the end of the day only the best will win.
I urge all our candidates and supporters to reach out to Abians everywhere, both within and outside the party, so that together we can build a stronger Labour Party and deliver greater progress for our State and Nigeria.
On a solemn note, I regret to announce the passing of the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 9, Umuahia, AIG Kanayo Uzuegbu. He was a good man and his loss is deeply felt. May his soul rest in peace.
With unity, discipline and commitment, we will consolidate on our achievements and continue to serve Ndị Abia with integrity.
Yes and every citizen gets housing, health care, food and education. Whether youre a child, with disability, a senior, marginalized- your society has come together to ensure everyone is taken car of, this is a functional society.
Abuja does not have a State of Assembly and gets the shorthand when it comes to legislation specifically for the Abuja people. There is a need for #AbujaBillsForAbujaPeople
If I clinch the NDC TICKET to run for the FCT Senate seat and get voted by the good people of FCT Abuja, some of the bills I will be proposing include the following:
1)Abuja Residents Security Bill
2)Abuja Residents Empowerment Bill
3)Abuja Infrastructure Bill
4)Free Maternal Health Bill
5)Indigenous Rights and Land Protection Bill
6)FCTA Accountability Bill
7)Abuja Education Bill
ONE: Nobody should fear for their life in Abuja.
Abuja Residents Security Bill—community policing in every neighborhood. Solar streetlights in high-risk areas. Quick-response emergency teams. You should not be afraid to come home at night.
TWO: Your sweat must pay. Your hustle must count.
Abuja Residents Empowerment Bill—mandating quotas for youth- and women-led businesses in government contracts. The Rent Control component of my Bill will protect you from unjust rent hikes. Double taxation elimination, Skills Empowerment spending that empowers Abuja residents with real skills. Access to Capital mandates that ensure a portion of Abuja taxes is used to provide microloans to support businesses.
THREE: Water. Roads. Light. Healthcare. These are not favors—they're your rights.
Abuja Infrastructure Bill clean water for residents through solar-powered boreholes.
Roads in Abaji, Kwali, Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje and the neglected parts of AMAC - FIXED.
Primary Healthcare Centres are upgraded with an adequate number of doctors, medical supplies, and reliable emergency services.
Schools renovated.
This is not optional. This is your right.
FOUR: Pregnancy is not a death sentence.
Free Maternal Health Bill,
Comprehensive care for every pregnant woman, regardless of how much money you have.
Mobile clinics reaching rural communities.
Maternal waiting homes near health centers. 100,000+ women served.
No woman should die giving life.
FIVE: They can't just take your land and bulldoze your house.
Indigenous Rights and Land Protection Bill—
Full compensation for ancestral lands.
Land Rights Tribunal.
No demolitions without proper notice and fair payment.
Affordable housing for middle- and low-income families.
Your dignity is not negotiable.
SIX: You will see where every kobo goes.
FCTA Accountability Bill—
every budget, every contract, every demolition order.
You will SEE it.
TRACK it.
QUESTION it.
The minister will be mandated by law to engage Abuja residents before drafting budgets or spending.
Your needs must be captured in the budget.
FCTA will no longer see bloated and inflated contracts used to enrich corrupt politicians.
When everything is in the open, the thieves have nowhere to hide.
SEVEN: I will fight for an Abuja Education Bill — No Child Left Behind.
EVERY CHILD DESERVES QUALITY EDUCATION. NOT JUST THE ONES WHOSE PARENTS CAN AFFORD PRIVATE SCHOOL.
Public schools renovated with proper classrooms, libraries, science labs, and sports facilities. Scholarships covering tuition, WAEC, NECO, and JAMB fees for indigent students. Teacher recruitment and training programs. Competitive salaries to attract and retain quality teachers.
ICT training centers in all the area councils for training youth in digital and coding skills. Universal access to quality primary and secondary education across all six area councils.
A BETTER ABUJA MEANS EDUCATION IS NOT A PRIVILEGE FOR THE RICH. IT'S THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY CHILD'S FUTURE. AND I WILL FIGHT TO GUARANTEE IT FOR EVERY ABUJA CHILD.
This is Engr Esosa Iyawe.
He rode on Peter Obi's popularity to win a place in the House of Reps, Representing Oredo.
After a while he defected to the APC.
Now that APC has denied him return ticket he has defected to the NDC.
He wants to ride Obi's popularity a second time.
I will be campaigning against him personally in 2027.
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

“Enough is enough! Prepare for 2027. While you’re praying and defending yourself, be alive to see them voted out. Anything you can do to defend yourself, do it. Self defence is not a crime. Don’t let any vagabond kill you when you have purpose to fulfill”

Nigerians: "We want our votes to count"
GEJ:"Okay, I respect your rights. Choose who you want but I'm a better choice & here's factual evidence"
Nigerians: "Choose Buhari/APC"
*Suffers hell*
Nigerians:"GEJ was weak. Why did he respect our rights? He should have forced us"
