UPDATE:
PDP, NDC and ADC Governorship Candidates Arrive at Enugu Prison to Visit Detained NDC Members and Hon. Bright Emeka Ngene
Three opposition governorship candidates in Enugu State, representing the NDC, PDP and ADC, have arrived at Enugu Prison to visit recently detained NDC members accused of cyberbullying after recording a video during an att@ck at an NDC event. They also visited Hon. Bright Emeka Ngene, a member of the Enugu State House of Assembly who has been serving a seven-year prison sentence.
Speaking during the visit, Sir Christian Chinyeaka Ohaa, the NDC governorship candidate, called on elder statesmen in Enugu State to intervene and prevent the state from descending into chaos.
He urged Governor Peter Mbah to allow the people to freely exercise their democratic rights by voting without intimidation of opposition parties and their supporters.
Ohaa also spoke about Hon. Bright Emeka Ngene, a Labour Party member representing Enugu South Urban Constituency in the Enugu State House of Assembly, who has been serving a seven-year prison sentence over a case dating back to 2017 concerning community development funds.
Recall that Ngene was sentenced to seven years in prison in 2024. Despite being incarcerated, he also won the recently concluded election.
“Bola, when I proposed targeted support to ease fuel costs, you called me ignorant of economic policy. You are like a dull student who copied his classmate's answer, you have done it so blindly that the classmate's name at the top of his exam paper and then demanded marks for original thinking. You copied my production subsidy proposal, nothing wrong about that, you Stripped away the part that makes it work and handed Nigerians a 30-day discount. You see why it is good to go to school?”

In @OfficialAPCNg think, the vehicles will swim across the river.
@GRVlagos and I have a plan to connect every community, Island and islet in Lagos State by road and bridges before the end of our first term in Lagos State.
It is absurd that there are communities you cannot get to except by canoe or boat in this big 2026!
If we all work together, we can Make Èkó Great Again.

As Premuim times has gone this length to investigate Obi’s certificate can they also do the same for other presidential candidates!
Can they also call the primary school and secondary schools attended by other presidential candidates
Stay on issues, Hon. Commissioner @tokunbo_wahab. Do the job that you are paid to do. Nobody wants to know that you regularly visit Hard Rock Cafe in VI every last Friday of the month and go to Eko Hotels afterwards with a light-skinned lady. That's your personal life; we don't care what you do with it.
Where Is Nigeria’s President?
The dynamic President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, delivered a remarkable address at the 81st United Nations General Assembly. The international community has commended his leadership and the substance of his address. It is a reminder of what leadership can produce when competence, capacity, compassion, commitment and character come together in the service of a nation.
Against this background, many are asking: Where is the President of Africa’s most populous nation, a country of more than 200 million people - more than Ghana - whose leader has been absent from the global stage for three consecutive UNGAs?
Nigeria’s President, who ought to be representing the country and providing leadership for Africa at the international level, has not attended any of these three global gatherings. Where is he, particularly at a time when the country faces significant challenges, both domestically and internationally?
Although our Vice President, Kashim Shettima, was present, the question remains: Where is the President? Let us continue to pray for his return and for his leadership in addressing the many challenges confronting the nation.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Mr Peter Obi does not care who you are, he will tell you the truth live and direct. This was Mr. Peter Obi disagreeing with President GEJ on the venue chosen at the flag off of the 2nd Niger Bridge, because he wanted more of the common people to be involved in the whole thing. He’s always looking out for his people.
You don’t get his type twice in a generation.

ON THE ANAMBRA DEBT QUESTION
I have remained silent over the past few days because I have been grieving the loss of my very dear elder brother and friend, Chief Okey Ezeibe. However, the time has come for me to address some of the matters that have occupied public discussion in recent days.
I respectfully urge everyone to concentrate on the existential challenges confronting Nigeria and the hardships endured by its citizens, rather than on the needless distractions that have become widespread in our politics.
I wish to assure the public that I have no disagreement with my dear elder brother, Governor Soludo, or with any governor in Nigeria. I am not seeking the office of governor in any state, and I will not seek that position again, even if the Constitution is amended.
Accordingly, I appeal to governors to support whichever presidential candidate they choose while also permitting and assisting other presidential candidates and contenders for other offices to campaign freely and without interruption in their states. Ultimately, voters should be allowed to determine whom they wish to serve them.
Regarding the multilateral funding inaccurately described as “debt owed by Peter Obi” in Anambra State, I wish to state unequivocally:
As Governor of Anambra State, I did not approach any financial institution to borrow funds or issue a bond on behalf of the state. Indeed, at his farewell ceremony, the then Director-General of the DMO, Abraham Nwankwo, appointed me chairman and declared that, during his 10 years in office, I was the only state governor who had not approached him for a loan facility.
When I left office, the Anambra State Government owed no unpaid salaries, gratuities, or pensions. Neither did it owe any contractor or supplier who had completed work that the government had verified and certified.
Regarding development financing from the World Bank, these are concessionary development-support funds secured by the Federal Government for states selected by it to address specific needs. Repayment is spread over 25 to 30 years.
The Anambra State Government must therefore differentiate among three separate figures: the total amount approved for the multiyear development program; the amount Anambra State actually drew during my tenure; and the funding balance outstanding when I handed over on 17 March 2014.
The government has combined these distinct categories, added them together, and described the resulting US$123.77 million as “loans left by Peter Obi.” That is an incorrect application of public-sector accounting.
The eight facilities identified were primarily World Bank and IFAD development programs negotiated by the Federal Government, with participating states receiving access to the funds through subsidiary arrangements. They were not conventional commercial loans that I personally secured during my tenure.
This does not suggest that Anambra had no repayment responsibilities; rather, each facility must be examined in light of its approval, effectiveness, drawdown, and repayment record.
The clearest contradiction appears in the government’s own figures. It states that the original facilities amounted to approximately US$123.77 million and that US$92.35 million remained outstanding in June 2026. However, the DMO’s published records showed Anambra’s total external debt at approximately US$18 million when I began my tenure in March 2006, about US$30 million in March 2014, when I left office, and approximately US$45.15 million as of 31 December 2014, nine months after my departure.
The Anambra State Government must therefore clarify how a state whose recorded external debt was about US$30 million in March 2014 and US$45.15 million in December 2014 could supposedly have inherited US$123.77 million from Peter Obi, who left office in March of that same year.
