Justice must always be celebrated, regardless of public opinion or political sentiment.
I congratulate my sister, Diezani Alison-Madueke on her acquittal by a London jury after a lengthy legal process. The verdict is a reminder that in any democracy governed by the rule of law, every individual is entitled to the presumption of innocence and a fair trial.
May this bring closure to a chapter that has lasted more than a decade. My best wishes to her and her family.

Today, May 9th, I attended the 1st convention of my latest party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Abuja, Nigeria. The convention was successful and continued to show the resilience of Nigerians to change
I express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the NDC family, led by the distinguished Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, for inviting us and for the generosity of spirit with which they have accommodated us at this critical moment in our national journey.
I also wish to express profound gratitude to the African Democratic Congress(ADC), particularly Distinguished Senator David Mark, for providing a democratic platform and showing uncommon understanding when the ongoing litigation forced us out of the Labour Party and the New Nigeria People's Party, NNPP respectively. That spirit of solidarity must remain the foundation upon which a better Nigeria will be built.
Today, the most painful aspect of our political existence is that many who once benefited from democratic governance have now become willing accessories to the destruction of democracy itself. Those who once fought for justice now openly celebrate electoral injustice. Those who once spoke against impunity now defend coercion, manipulation, intimidation, and outright political gangsterism, especially against opposition voices. What we are witnessing is not politics; it is a systematic assault on democracy and the will of the people.
Nigeria today stands at a dangerous crossroads. Our democracy is under severe threat. Our nation is drifting without direction, and our people are passing through immense suffering. Across the world, Nigeria is increasingly described as a failing and disgraced nation. This is not the destiny God ordained for our great country. It was not always so, and it must never be allowed to remain so.
Across virtually every recognised indicator of good governance - accountability, political stability, rule of law, control of corruption, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and the separation of powers - Nigeria continues to record alarming failures. The institutions that should protect the people are weakening daily, while the burden on ordinary citizens grows heavier with each passing moment.
Today, over 140 million Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty. Tens of millions of young people remain unemployed or underemployed. Inflation continues to crush families. Businesses are shutting down. Farmers can no longer safely access their farms. Communities live in fear. In this month alone, hundreds of innocent Nigerians have lost their lives to insecurity, while many others have been kidnapped, displaced, or thrown deeper into poverty.
The most heartbreaking question confronting us is this: Who consoles the grieving mother whose child was abducted on the way to school? Who speaks for the father who can no longer feed his family despite working every day? Who defends the young Nigerian whose dreams have been destroyed by a nation that rewards connections over competence and corruption over character?
Our present tragedy is not accidental. It is the direct consequence of years of deliberate sabotage by a political class that prospers by dividing the people and weakening the nation. Nigeria is not a poor country; rather, we are being looted into poverty. We have abundant human and natural resources, yet we remain trapped in deprivation because leadership has failed to place the common good above personal interest.
Our choice as a people is therefore clear: whether to surrender to despair and national decline, or to summon the courage to rescue our country and rebuild it on the foundations of unity, equity, justice, competence, and productivity.
I don't think Peter Obi is a real Human Being.
But if they check and he is, then he definitely is not a Nigerian.
His father has questions to answer.
1. Peter Obi rejected #700m monthly pension as Ex Governor.
2. Peter Obi rejected lands given to Ex Governors as part of their entitlements.
3. Peter Obi rejected #500m House & Furniture Allowance as Chairman of Security & Exchange Commission, SEC, Abuja 2015.
4. Peter Obi rejected $1m dollars as prize money for being the First & Best Governor to achieve the 2020 Millennium Development Goals, MDGs.
5. Peter Obi rejected the offer of an Oil Well, one of the reasons Nigerian Politicians k!ll to attain Abuja Status.
6. Peter Obi rejected the allocation of millions of naira for the set up of office of the First Lady. Insisting that his wife was not an elected official.
7. Peter Obi rejected the proposal to share the State annual budget on percentage with the State House of Assembly leading to his first unlawful impeachment.
8. Peter Obi handed over about #75bn in cash & assets after 8yrs as Governor, rejecting to convert it to personal use like other Governors did.
This man has conquered man's most natural, intense & vicious appetite...Greed.
I want someone to prove just one of these statements to be false.
Peter Obi is the Man
JUST IN:
Governor Otti moved Abia’s debt profile from ₦191.2 billion to ₦48.4 billion by paying a staggering sum of ₦142 billion in less than 3 years in office, yet with all the work he’s doing, he hasn’t borrowed a dime.
Good governance is not rocket science. You either know what you are doing, or you are busy stealing and lying.
Thank you, Mr. Daniel Bwala, SA to President Tinubu, for helping Nigerians understand exactly why Tinubu should not be voted for in 2027.
If you come across this video please repost🔄 let's appreciate Mr Bwala for speaking.
Standing Up for Democracy
Today, I joined fellow Nigerians, leaders, and members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by National Chairman Sen. David Mark to participate in a peaceful "Save Democracy" protest.
This event was not just an effort to protect our democracy; it was also a moment of reflection on how far we have fallen as a nation. We must resist the suffocation of our democracy by those who once claimed to have sacrificed to defend it, but are now doing everything possible to undermine it and silence opposition.
History will not be kind to those who traded the struggle for democracy for the comfort of power. We will not remain silent, we will not be intimidated, and we will not surrender the future of this nation. The will of the people must prevail—stronger, louder, and impossible to suppress.

“Most of Nigerian politicians’ children are not Nigerians. They are citizens of other countries. They only see Nigeria as a looting ground. You are the one who is a Nigerian and you need to fight for your country”
Everything he said here is totally true.
“Meet the best landlord in the world, my former landlord, the moment he knew I was building my own permanent place, he gave me his full support, my rent expired last year June but this man didn't allow me to renew my rent again, he gave me extra 6 months rent free to complete my building.
You can imagine leaving a rented space to your own permanent site, this man made it possible. I’ll forever be indebted you sir. Thank you for making this journey an easy one..."
Woman appreciates kind-hearted landlord
Good people deserve to be celebrated 🫶❤️
Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora, make this VIDEO go viral.
We need to encourage this Senator so that more can find the courage to speak and act!✍️
He is proof that no one needs to join the APC for their state to flourish. He messed up that lie.
He is proof that it is an enabling environment attracts investors, not foreign trips. No one needs to fly abroad in search of ghost investors
The secrets to his success is this:
“He was a core professional before politics. He is one still. He already built a large portfolio before venturing into politics. While others followed & sang ‘on your mandate’ in order to have access to a so-called center, he remained at home attracting all the right investments.”
“What would Peter Obi have differently?”
I HOPE YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER NOW?
El Rufai identified with Peter Obi and the next moment, he was arrested.
Malami identified Peter Obi and the next moment, he was arrested.
Sheikh Ahmed Tijjani Umar identified with Peter Obi and the next moment, he was arrested.
I never knew how much of a threat Peter Obi is to the APC.
