INEC needs to be careful.

Nigerians are reporting that their data are being systematically deleted from the system

There needs to be some sort of clarification from INEC

The Obidients are NOT playing politics, they are battling for the SOUL of Nigeria.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

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

[Ejiofor @firstideaT]

@PeterObi @ayemojubar We appreciate all your sacrifices. Be assured that we are solidly behind you; you will never walk alone. Don’t relent, new Nigeria is POssible.

[Lekan Olayinka @lekan_olayinka1]

Also, Peter Obi is not a “lesser evil”.

I am again begging us all to have moral clarity.

The man who said if anyone finds N5 that he embezzled should come forward and he’d leave the race:

That man is not a “lesser evil” I am begging you guys.

The man who has donated more money to education and health from his own purse more than the CapEx for health by the government is not a “lesser evil”.

The man who left no debt but actual surplus in the treasury of the state he governed is not a “lesser evil”.

The man who has successfully without any corruption led as:

Chairman of Fidelity Bank Plc

Director of Fidelity Bank Plc

Chairman of Next International Nigeria Ltd

Chairman of Guardian Express Mortgage Bank Ltd

Chairman of Future View Securities Ltd

Chairman of Paymaster Nigeria Ltd

Chairman of Chams Nigeria Plc

Director of Chams Nigeria Plc

Director of Data Corp Ltd

Director of Card Centre Plc

Independent Non-Executive Director of Nigeria LNG Ltd:

Is not a “lesser evil”.

The man who went to Egypt to study how to make power constant for you is not a lesser evil.

The man who said he wouldn’t tax you unless he has prospered you isn’t a lesser evil.

The “lesser evil” bifurcation came when we wanted to choose between a corrupt incompetent Buhari and a corrupt incompetent Atiku.

I don’t really like politics Twitter. But I’m saying this so we all have moral clarity.

I am begging us all. Please, let’s dump these contrarian virtue signaling.

I am begging.

We are up against vicious people. These are the people who have witnessed around 5 generals and colonels die and nothing is moving them.

I am begging you all, please.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Now a Disgraced Country Indeed

Today, as the world marks World Health Day, we must pause for honest reflection.

Nigeria, a nation of over 200 million people, continues to grapple with one of the weakest healthcare systems in the world. Our primary healthcare structure is almost comatose. We now record worse infant mortality outcomes than India, a country with a larger population, while health insurance coverage in Nigeria remains below 5%. These are not just statistics; they are a painful indictment of our priorities.

Recent disclosures by the Honourable Minister of Health show that out of the ₦218 billion appropriated for healthcare capital expenditure, only about ₦36 million has been released. This is deeply troubling.

At the same time, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has projected over ₦135 billion for legal expenditures.

Let us reflect on this.

The amount earmarked for election-related litigation is far higher than what has been made available for primary healthcare, the very foundation of a nation’s wellbeing. This is the same primary healthcare system expected to serve millions of Nigerians and support critical institutions such as:

1. University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City

2. University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar

3. University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada

4. University College Hospital, Ibadan

5. Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife

6. University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin

7. Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua

8. University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu

9. Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos

10. Aminu Kano University Teaching Hospital, Kano

11. Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos

12. University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri

13. Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi

14. University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt

15. Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto

16. University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, Uyo

17. Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria

18. Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki

19. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi

20. Federal Medical Centre, Yola

These institutions represent hope for millions. Yet, they remain underfunded, overstretched, and burdened by systemic neglect.

A nation that prepares more for electoral disputes than for the health of its citizens is a nation that has lost its way.

We must begin to ask the difficult but necessary questions: What are our true priorities? What kind of nation are we building? And for whom?

Healthcare and education are not optional; they are the foundation of national development. Any country that neglects them undermines its own future.

Nigeria must urgently reorder its priorities. We must invest in the health and wellbeing of our people, strengthen our institutions, and build a system that works for all, not just a few.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

The recent pronouncement by the US government declaring Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern' (CPC) and indicating possible military action should give every well-meaning Nigerian serious concern.

There is no doubt that Nigeria is experiencing an unprecedented level of insecurity with attendant carnage and the most shocking loss of lives and property. According to Amnesty International, over 10,000 people have been killed in Nigeria since May 2023 and as I have repeatedly lamented, the unwarranted and unprovoked killing of Nigerians is most condemnable, and all efforts must be made to bring it to a stop. It is equally important to state that the terrible situation is significantly avoidable with competent leadership and governance.

While the insecurity did not start with the present government, what is most unfortunate is the lack and absence of competence, commitment, prudent use of resources, patriotism and passion on the part of APC APC-led government/leaders to effectively govern, galvanise and lead Nigeria where no one is unwarrantedly oppressed and killed, a Nation where peace, truth and justice reign!

As democracies, Nigeria and the US have long been strategic partners committed to regional peace and security. That relationship should not falter. The present situation calls for constructive diplomatic and any other plausible engagement by both nations aimed at addressing the prevailing and disturbing security concerns. Both countries must work in concert and expeditiously towards that purpose. -PO

The survival of the Obidient Movement will depend on what Peter Obi is going to do in the next six months. How he is able to navigate all of those boobytraps set by Bola, INEC & the Judiciary, will determine his chances.

From where I stand? Things aren’t looking great

In the absence of Electoral Reform & electronic transmission of results? We should expect something worst than 2023. But I’m a sucker for lost causes; how underdog gets to win.

Whatever happens, Peter Obi will remain a Revolutionary masquerading as politician. It’s a Revolution of the Mind & it’s liberating. He unleashed something exciting & fresh, something that reinvigorated our hopes.

It’s animated, you can almost touch it.
It filtered in & sort of remained in the air.

When you look closely, you get the sense of THE BIGGER PICTURE. This is not for small minds, Agbados should eat before they can grasp. The trees Obi had planted are beginning to sprout. Twenty years from now, they will have the full bloom of battle-tested leaders.

Nigeria will benefit immensely from this Revolution of the Mind. It's going to be total, from the ground up. The Establishment are only mounting their last resistance. Theirs’ is the last kick of dying horses. But there is a catch!

Obidient is a standalone concept that can exist independent of Peter. We are eternal, yet ethereal. What he started will last out the ages.

We are young, we’ll be here long after our principal is gone. THE BIGGER PICTURE is some sort of consolation; our victory is longevity. Nigeria has changed, & generally for the worse. This is not the Nigeria of our dream.

But things are changing, & everyone should change with it. Peter Obi is something quite unexpected. He burst into the scene & swept away the old guards. And despite his popularity, the man is quite restrained.

Sometimes I wish he could lose some of those his moral compass. To do what must be done? A man will have to be reborn. There is no morality in Nigeria, at least in politics.

Morals are subjecitve. Sometimes we act based on the cards laid before us. It takes no specific amount of time for a man to lose his moral values. Pray your time won't come. Obidients are young, we still have the privilege of choices.

I pray we make the right ones. We never needed a pity party. None of us is a chicken. We were born by men with two balls between those legs. Somehow? We’ve been cooped up in one place for so long. But we can’t just be in one place.

We are no couch potato. Some of us cannot just sit idly doing nothing. The Obidients are full of energy, we have to be out there fixing things. We had to be more than we are (in order to survive). We had to be part men & part beasts.

Whatever mistakes we made in the past? That was the beast. Now we have to be men in order to fix it. Pretty much all we do is guided by love for country. We are Patriots, we have a strange way of showing it. I apologize if our methods are different. None of us are delicate flower.

We are tougher than you think. And if we turn out to be the scandal of the town? No one will blame us. Our pride is at stake. Our lives are at stake. Country is at stake. We stake everything for our survival. We are here to guarantee Nigeria’s right to change. We found courage, Peter gave back to us, our long-lost voices.

Suddenly, people began to ask, "where is this courage coming from?” Now Nigerians want to know how the story will end? Things are still in motion that cannot be done. A few good men will have to fight so that others may live.

Thanks to Peter for raising the next generation. He didn’t raise politicians, he raised the precise demography that will change Nigeria for good.

Now we are coming out of the woodwork, & it’s early days. Nigeria will reap immensely from what he has started. I’m all for THE BIGGER PICTURE. And I don’t expect small minds to understand the deeper meaning of what he started. But the future is ours; this is not the end! They are yet to hear the last from us!

How I Brokered The 2022 Meeting Between Peter Obi And Deji Adeyanju, And Why Deji’s Fallacy On Obi Cannot Stand.

~ By a distinguished journalist, columnist and author, IKE ABONYI, a former Group Political Editor and News Editor of THISDAY Newspapers, and pioneer Deputy Managing Director of New Telegraph Newspapers.

It would be unfair to my conscience as a Christian and a journalist to allow Deji Adeyanju to continue with his false narrative in the name of activism on Peter Obi.

Sometime in July 2022, ahead of the 2023 general election, and Peter Obi had picked the Labour Party (LP) Presidential ticket, Adeyanju was one of his ardent supporters and was contemplating running under the Labour Party for the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) seat in the House of Representatives.

As a friend of Deji and Obi, I decided to broker a meeting as I was contemplating Deji getting a waiver to pick the House of Reps ticket.
