Want to know why he's the best candidate the whole Nigeria has to offer?
He understands because he's been there.

@UtomiPat Facts.

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

I have said this before, and I believe it is important to remind Nigerians of my position as we approach 2027.

Peter Obi has my support for the presidency.

But my position is clear, I am not supporting the idea of Peter Obi becoming somebody else’s Vice President.

The day Peter Obi accepts a Vice Presidential position, I will walk away from his corner. I have said this plainly, and I stand by it.

My concern is not about personalities. It is about the kind of leadership Nigeria needs and the direction in which we want our country to go.

I have also argued that we should begin to rethink the age of those seeking executive office. The Nigerian presidency should not become a retirement home for politicians.

I believe there should be a serious national conversation about limiting presidential and gubernatorial candidates to those aged 70 or below.

Nigeria needs leadership that is focused on the future, not simply another cycle of political succession.

These are principles I have stated publicly, and Nigerians should judge them for themselves.

This is to wish you Happy Birthday, the alpha male of our era, MAZI NNAMDI KANU. See you in Sokoto soon to celebrate it, and out of Sokoto to celebrate the next one.

France is a baby daycare where sick African dictators are supervised & cared for. Papa Emma is the caregiver; he probably likes them old. He is good at managing elderly people, he likes them when they are senile & foolish.

He lived in Nigeria some years back, perhaps he has the data. He has no shame about meeting any corrupt Kunta Kinte from Kuvukiland.

He cultivates & grooms them. He must like changing adult diapers. Niggas definitely like French fries. He gives them food, visibility, & protection in exchange for their mineral wealth.

Oga Emma is running PR for vegetables. 😭😭

If you’re applying to work for @inecnigeria in any capacity next year, think twice.

Anyone who helps rig an election risks having their name permanently linked to that fraud. We will document offenders and publish verified names in a searchable online record.

If you’re fresh out of school or just starting your career, think about what that could mean for your future. If you can’t say no to tempting offers, don’t apply.

Your Daily Reminder_

*Peter Obi is Coming*

[Pat Utomi @UtomiPat]

Silence greeted my proposal.

When I got up to ease myself, I noticed that a member of the parent board, who attended the Nigerian board meetings only occasionally, followed me.

In the toilet, Dr Peter Frerk told me he had a confession to make.

The impression they had been given in Germany, he said, was that the Nigerians in the company were not particularly smart, but were generally lazy pilferers of company goods, working in a plant that had more coconut trees than cars foreign-exchange allocations allowed it to assemble.

Then he said something that stayed with me.

My proposal was brilliant.

But there was a problem.

With Nigeria’s borders repeatedly closing after coups, Germany could not safely depend on a Nigerian plant for components needed in its global production chain.

It galled me.

But I could not ignore the larger lesson.

The government had refused for years to respond to the joint venture’s second capital call. I had eventually used my personal friendship with the then Industries Minister, AVM Mohammed Yahaya, to get the ministry to issue a cheque, rather than waiting for the official government shareholder, Ministry of Finance Incorporated, to act.

Frerk also reminded me that Germany had become so frustrated with the joint venture that, by the time I joined, it was trying to persuade Mandilas to buy them out.

John Mandilas was not particularly interested.

We returned to the meeting.

But I kept thinking about Kowit.

Thailand had experienced coup after coup too. Yet coups alone could not explain the difference.

They mattered, certainly. But Thailand had also benefited from elite consensus and the unifying role of the monarchy.

Kowit went home and played his part.

I went home too.

In 1982, the very day my doctoral dissertation was accepted, I left without even waiting to collect the bound copies. My friend Folu Ogundimu collected them and kept them until I returned months later for commencement.

But on that long flight across the Atlantic, I made a pledge to the Big Man in the heavens.

I knew I would spend much of my life criticising what was wrong with society.

But I did not want to become merely an iconoclast.

I did not want to be the intellectual who could diagnose every problem but build nothing.

I prayed for the grace to do something, however small, to leave an impact for good in everything I criticised.

That prayer has produced a forty-year trail of activity.

Programmes for poor widows.

Youth and leadership development.

Television programmes that have run for 22 years and counting.

Academic work across several disciplines.

Entrepreneurship initiatives across different sectors of the economy.

It has been a long journey.

Sometimes, it leaves you feeling strangely alone and lonely in a crowd.

Because while you are trying to build, others are still dismantling.

While you are trying to create possibilities, they are busy stealing them.

And perhaps that is the deepest pain of this long Nigerian journey.

It is not merely that they stole opportunities from a country.

They kept their knees on the neck of possibility itself, pressing down on the lives we might have lived and the nation we might have built.

To all our Nigerian tech guru that wants a better Nigeria, we have a job for you.

Drop every single detail of any political candidate or their supporters that dare to threaten the lives of any Nigerian who refuses to vote for their candidate or rig the votes for them.

@i_am_agbeke The company is also sponsoring an apprenticeship program, where young people come and learn for a couple of months not years and get up to 10m naira start-up fund.
That is poverty alleviation, youth employment and empowerment.
All because of Peter Obi 🙌

[Dr Nahza @ammielv]

This is why it will ALWAYS BE @PeterObi for me.
Looks like we may have accidentally found another PR point for him.
7 key negotiation points. Kept meeting in the middle.. meeting in the middle until the last 2.
Very firm in his resolve, the answer was No. I could not sell these people out.
This will not work for me or them.
I am not that desperate for this.

However, being surrounded by Jackals and Hyenas, the Hyenas thought "ohh why not give this, just give it. Leave this your "holier than thou" behaviour".
Now, fellows from the pack of Hyenas are dropping "lessons" for us!

Oga o!
There must be a line. A VERY VISIBLE LINE ELSE THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND THE PEOPLE YOU ARE CLAIMING TO BE BETTER THAN!
ALSO THE MORE YOU GIVE, THE MORE MATERIALS THERE IS TO BLACKMAIL YOU WHEN THE TIME COMES!

I would say ignore the Hyenas or maybe spin it.. because in the coming days, more wolves would shed their sheep's clothing!

Let's all meet infront abeg!

VOTE PETER OBI AND RABIU MUSA KWANKWASO IN 2027.
VOTE NDC!

[Rep. Marlin Stutzman @RepStutzman]

It was an honor to meet with Nigerian presidential candidate @PeterObi this week.

His vision for a better Nigeria was truly inspiring.

@valentineozigbo Truly, it is the purpose of privilege to blind.

You are an Igbo man and yet blinded to the sentiments of most South East residents.

We would rather vote for Soludo again than give apc a day in Anambra (no matter whomever the fields).
