@SaharaReporters Let it not be like Chicago drug case. Forfeiture in a criminal case is an establishment of guilt and imprisonment is part of the punishment.
What Truly Should Be Our Priority Now as Leaders of a Nation?
This question has become necessary, given where we are today as a nation and where we are supposed to be.
While completing my INEC nomination form yesterday, Section E, Question 1 caught my attention. It asks: “Have you ever been adjudged a lunatic or been declared a person of unsound mind?” The answer is either Yes or No. That question got me thinking: Can we, as the political leaders of today’s Nigeria, truly say we are exhibiting the characteristics of a sound mind?
When Nigerians, including children and security personnel, are being abducted into the bushes, citizens cannot travel safely on our highways, several million Nigerians are uncertain where their next meal will come from, and several billions are being siphoned frivolously through non-existent agencies and projects, should politics really be our primary preoccupation?
A sound-minded leadership would have declared these existential challenges a national emergency and immediately mobilised all relevant institutions, security agencies, experts, community leaders, and other critical stakeholders to confront them with urgency and resolve. At a moment like this, the survival, security, and stability of Nigeria must take precedence over every other consideration. This is a time for decisive action, not political calculation or the pursuit of partisan advantage.
Further in the same Section E, Question 6, was: “Have you ever presented a forged certificate to INEC?” Again, the answer is either Yes or No. This raises another important question: Why shouldn’t INEC, in the interest of ensuring that our leaders are exemplary in following the rules and to strengthen public confidence in our electoral process, publish the academic certificates and credentials submitted by every candidate seeking elective office?
Transparency strengthens democracy and builds public trust. Nigeria’s problems are too serious for politics as usual. It is time for leadership defined by competence, character, capacity, compassion, and commitment to service.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
With the weight of support for his presidency by Nigerians, Obi cannot subordinate his presidency bcus of party loyalty. He will disappoint far more people than you. More people will replace you as we move forward
My leader @PeterObi, unfortunately this is where we part ways. My support for you was largely based on the efforts that I have seen from you in fighting for democratic, free, and fair elections.
However, your pattern of resigning from political parties solely because of external pressure (PDP, LP, and now ADC) is uncharacteristic of a leader with the ability to fight for what is right. You cower in the face of pressure and you run for soft landing else where. This is not the type of leadership Nigeria needs given its dire situation, and certainly not the type of politics that we need going into 2027.
My hate for Tinubu is bigger than my love for a better Nigeria at the moment. So I will align with whom I believe can end Tinubu. Best wishes.

A Unified Message to All As you are all now aware, His Excellency Peter Obi is going to be our new presidential candidate and the face of this movement. We call on everyone to vigorously market and promote our candidate with honour and facts. We will not attack or abuse any other candidate, and we expect the same courtesy in return. If you abuse Peter Obi or attempt to tarnish his character, be ready we will respond accordingly. We prefer peace, but if it is a fight you bring, we are more than ready to meet it. To my dear Northern brothers and sisters: Do not come to my page with religious or tribal attacks. They will not work here i won't tolerate it. We who support this movement believe Nigeria belongs to everyone Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Christian, Muslim, and all others. Our strength lies in our unity, not in division. The unity of our nation is what we dream of and will continue to fight for. My reasons for supporting Peter Obi are clear: his outstanding track record as Governor of Anambra State and the positive plans he has for my region the Northern Nigeria. No one can stop or intimidate us. As true Kwankwasiyya, we do not fear challenges we welcome them as opportunities to prove our determination and strength.Peter Obi and Kwankwaso represent our new project for a New Nigeria. We will take this message to the markets, homes, chambers, streets, and every corner of this country. We will campaign with passion and sell this vision to our people. To all supporters of this movement: This is our moment to show Nigerians that love, respect, and unity can be stronger than religion or tribe. Let us promote this movement across every platform and every community. Let us grow together as one.
One Nigeria Must Be OK.

TINUBU'S MAN AT THE UN: Nigeria's seat at the world's most important table — handed to a serial business arsonist with criminal tax charges pending in Federal High Court
Senator Jimoh Ibrahim presented his credentials to UN Secretary-General António Guterres on April 20. He is now the face of 220 million Nigerians at the United Nations.
Look at the wreckage he carries with him.
▪️ NICON Airways. Acquired. Collapsed. Roughly 300 workers left without wages from May 2007. The National Industrial Court awarded them ₦1.5 billion in 2013. Ibrahim appealed. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal in 2017. As of 2024, ex-staff say ₦808.7 million in salary arrears remains unpaid — plus ₦8.1 million in pension contributions deducted from workers' paychecks and never remitted. Stolen. From their own people.
▪️ Air Nigeria. Taken over 2010. Grounded by 2012. The National Assembly's Joint Committee on Aviation said on the record that Ibrahim diverted a ₦35.5 billion government intervention loan into his personal company. The Senate ordered the CBN Governor to recover the funds. Never enforced.
▪️ NICON Insurance. Acquired. Gutted. From national market dominance to less than 1% of its pre-privatization client base. FIRS sealed the offices in 2016 over ₦182.7 million in unremitted taxes. Then filed a 10-count criminal charge against Ibrahim personally — for ₦4.86 billion in unpaid taxes and producing forged Tax Clearance Certificates. That charge sits in Federal High Court Abuja today. The man Tinubu just credentialed at the UN is a sitting criminal defendant.
▪️ AMCON. November 2020, the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria seized 12 named properties from Ibrahim over a ₦69.4 billion debt. AMCON called him "recalcitrant and unenthusiastic."
▪️ AerSale Inc. sued him in U.S. District Court in New York for more than $7.68 million on aircraft leases he personally guaranteed. Yes — that New York. Where he now lives with diplomatic immunity.
▪️ Newswatch magazine. The crown jewel of Nigerian investigative journalism. Founded by Dele Giwa, Ray Ekpu, Dan Agbese, and Yakubu Mohammed. Giwa was murdered by mail bomb in 1986 for the work. The other three kept it alive for 25 more years. In May 2011, Ibrahim signed a Share Purchase Agreement for 51% of Newswatch — ₦510 million owed by close of business that day. He never paid a naira. He installed himself as chairman, evicted the founders, sued the men he had displaced, shut the magazine down in 2012, and registered shell companies to keep the name alive after a court ordered him to stop. Justice Ibrahim Buba ruled his actions "unjust, unfair, and unlawful" and issued a perpetual injunction.
Dan Agbese died in November 2025. Yakubu Mohammed died in January 2026 — still in court, still fighting for what was stolen from him. Ray Ekpu is the last man standing.
They died fighting Jimoh Ibrahim. And now he sits in the chair at the UN.
Why does this matter beyond Nigeria's shame?
Because the United Nations is where the genocide story will be fought. Because Ibrahim is now Tinubu's voice on Security Council questions while Trump's CPC framework moves through Congress. Because every Foreign Service officer and congressional staffer in New York will be reading Olumhense and https://t.co/8G9cm6zcJT within a week.
When international press ask hard questions about the slaughter of Christians, the man at the microphone will be one who stole pension money from his own workers and watched the founders of Nigerian journalism die in courtrooms trying to get back what he took.
You don't send Jimoh Ibrahim to the UN to do diplomacy. You send him to absorb scrutiny that would otherwise stick to Aso Rock. He is a heat shield. A man this radioactive is useful precisely because the noise around him drowns out the signal from Borno, Plateau, and Benue.
Look at the pattern Tinubu just exported:
Beijing — Lt. Gen. Dambazau. Caliphate general. Buhari's interior man during the Sahel jihadi flood. Publicly accused of profiting from Boko Haram. Never sued his accusers. Never investigated.
Mexico — Reno Omokri. Shambassador. Notorious political prostitute who flips his loyalty and his advocacy to the highest bidder. He once called Tinubu a drug lord. Today he calls him "Christ-like." He was once one of the loudest voices raising the alarm on the Nigerian Christian genocide. Today he calls it a hoax. The price was the title.
Berlin — Femi Fani-Kayode. Same mold. Different country. A man who has worn every jersey in Nigerian politics and rented out his pen to whoever was buying that week.
New York / UN — Jimoh Ibrahim. The man Sonala Olumhense, dean of Nigerian columnists, calls "an insult in real time."
This is not a diplomatic corps. This is a regime exporting its most useful liars at the precise moment Trump is asking who is accountable for the slaughter.
Honest governments send their best people to the UN.
Tinubu sent the man whose victims are still dying in court.
That tells you everything.

For the record, the youths arrested by the Nigerian Army and labeled as suspected bandits are actually the indigenous youths and vigilantes from our community. This is why we can't defend ourselves. Whenever our youths try to protect us, they get arrested and disarmed.
Anytime this happens, the community faces attacks again, with many killed, because our defenders are locked up.
These are not the real terrorists; they're still in the bushes and mountains planning their next attack, while the military, knowingly or unknowingly, helps them by disarming our people.
The Nigerian Army should do a serious investigation and stop arresting our people whenever they try to defend their communities from terrorists! 🤲🏽
@Pharmacio001@ADCVanguard_ Same story that ruined 2023.
The results of 2023 election should teach you better. Obi won several states but you only won Kano.
Degree and age do not command acceptability. Obi's political idelogy is world class and far more acceptable to Nigerians.
Fulani terrorists continue killing our youths in Plateau State. The new trend is attacking them at mining sites to kill and seize the minerals.
During the farming season, it was farmers being attacked and their crops destroyed. Now it is mining sites, with the minerals stolen.
What exactly do the Fulani want from Plateau State? This needless loss of lives must end. We’re tired of burying our people, our Youths, and our children!🙇🏻♀️
