A Faithful Father in the Faith at 85
On behalf of my family, I join millions of believers and well-wishers across the world in celebrating your 85th birthday, Papa Kumuyi.

As you mark this milestone, I pray that Almighty God grants you continued good health, renewed strength, and greater wisdom to keep impacting lives and advancing His Kingdom.
Happy 85th Birthday, Papa Kumuyi. May your light continue to shine brightly. -PO
Dear Young Nigerians,
One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.
In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.
Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.
Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.
Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.
Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.
At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.
We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.
I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.
Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.
The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Enough is enough. The killings, abductions of innocent Nigerians, and the unleashing of terror on our people cannot continue. These senseless killings and heinous crimes must stop.
Terror does not ask for your tribe, faith, region, or political affiliation before it strikes. Our response must be stronger than our divisions.
Today on Politics Today, I called on all Nigerians to put aside political, ethnic, and religious differences and stand united against the common enemy threatening our collective future.
Criticise what must be criticised. Demand accountability where it is due. But above all, let us stand together.

“Elections have not even started and INEC is already rigging in favour of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. How can INEC close voter’s registration 6 months before the general elections ?”
~ Verydarkman says
“K!dnappers k!dnap people in this day and age, take them to the bush, stay there for 1 month, feeding them, phoning their family to come and bring money.
Often a time if the abdvcted person is sick, they allow doctors to treat the person and go back but the only person who don’t know where they are is police…..”
- Peter Obi speaks on worsening insecurity.
Tinubu has to regret ever daring to punish and reducing purchasing power of Nigerians. When we cried he brought Rice because his plans for us is to end up at Boudillon gate. INEC network must work today ! Go and get your PVC! And Vote Peter Obi massively!
Tinubu must regret his wickedness against us !
They will always hate social media because it’s reveals their secrets
If not for social media media how would we all discover that media aide to politicians have all your electoral data
And you want us the trust INEC
Please release these children for the sake of our shared humanity
I am deeply shocked and heartbroken by the condition in which these abducted school children are, as seen from their flagellated bodies. It is a painful reminder of the depth of insecurity in our land.
I have always made it clear that the society we abuse today will take its revenge on our children tomorrow. When I first began making that statement, some of these children were not even born. This is a classic example of how the abuse of governance and society today can produce devastating consequences long after the abusers are gone.
It is on the same line that I argue that the loans our leaders take today will hurt our children in the future, as many of them will mature for repayment and consequences long after we are gone.
To those holding these children, I make a direct appeal to your conscience. Remember that these are innocent children - sons and daughters of people who have placed their hopes, dreams, and entire future in them. In every one of them, you will find reflections of your own children, your own family, and your own humanity.
No grievance, no hardship, no justification can ever outweigh the sanctity of a child’s life and innocence. Whatever path has led to this moment, there is still room for remorse, for humanity, and for a change of heart.
I therefore appeal to your sense of mercy: release these children immediately. Let them go. Return them safely to society to reunite with their families. -PO
This is a call to the attention of @inecnigeria regarding one of its staff members in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State, who is allegedly collecting ₦1,000 from Nigerians before releasing their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
In the theater of the absurd named Nigeria, some people actually believe that the police is truly interested in either investigating, or prosecuting the obvious crimes that have been committed by these miscreants..🇳🇬🤔
An aide to the FCT minister has insiders within @inecnigeria who can break the laws and release voters information to him,
While the APC chieftain INEC chairman is still seated in office pretending to be a neutral electoral empire?
Nigeria is in serious Trouble and if we are serious about 2027 elections this must not be allowed to slide❗️
@inecnigeria is the Weapon fashioned against Nigeria and only Nigerians can help ourselves ❗️
INEC is manipulating the Voter Register.
INEC is manipulating the Voter Register.
INEC is manipulating the Voter Register.
INEC is manipulating the Voter Register.
INEC is manipulating the Voter Register.
They are systematically deleting the Voter Registration of certain demographics. Kindly rush to their portal & check to make sure that your CVR Registration is still valid & is found.
RETWEET MASSIVELY & SPREAD THE WORD!
To @SecRubio:
PLEASE REPOST.
@PeterObi is the best candidate for president of Nigeria, but he is destined to lose to the orrupt Tinubu unless the voting system is reformed from violence and corruption to free and fair elections. Will you enact diplomacy to help? cc: @WhiteHouse
