It takes a kind of criminal mindset for you to impersonate @OfficialDSSNG and even hold a pistol 😳😳…
You have mind to insult me and say I am a slave to Peter Obi…
@Bashorun_Mo My God is fighting my battles, you will rot in jail… this are the influencers APC are paying to come gaslight all of you…
I am deeply saddened by the tragic boat mishap that occurred earlier today in the Gorau community of Goronyo Local Government Area, Sokoto State, which has reportedly claimed the lives of 41 people.
The loss of so many lives in a single incident is profoundly painful and heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy.
I commend the rescuers and everyone who took part in the emergency response for their courageous efforts to save lives and assist the victims.
I also urge the relevant authorities to promptly and thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident, and to strengthen safety measures on our waterways to prevent the recurrence of such a devastating tragedy.
I extend my heartfelt sympathy to the people and Government of Sokoto State, and I pray for the peaceful repose of all those who lost their lives. - RMK
Just 20 minutes ago, York University, Canada has now reinstated this boy’s admission.
They went through my X account, saw the concerns I raised about WAEC, and concluded that there was an issue with WAEC.
The boy is now happy and will travel to Canada for his education.
PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESS BY HE MR PETER OBI,TO MARK THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 2027 PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGNS, AT HIS RESIDENCE IN ONITSHA
21 August, 2026
Dear Compatriots,
Members of the Press,
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,
Wednesday, 19 August 2026, marked the official start of the campaign period for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
There is no doubt that this is a defining moment for our democracy. This moment gives Nigerians the opportunity to assess the records, ideas, and plans of those seeking their mandate to lead their country at a time of grave uncertainty in our rapidly changing world.
I consider myself quite privileged to be one of those seeking your mandate to deal with these challenges facing our country.
I enter this contest with one firm conviction: Nigeria can work, and Nigeria must work.
Nigeria faces several serious challenges. Some of them are indeed of existential proportions.
According to the IMF, 63%, or over 140 million Nigerians, live at or below the national poverty line, while humanitarian agencies estimate that 35 million people will need food assistance during the 2026 lean season. About 3.6 million Nigerians remain internally displaced, largely because of conflict and insecurity. Each year, millions of young people enter the labour market, yet too many struggle to find productive opportunities. Weak infrastructure, unreliable power, insecurity, and the excessive cost of doing business continue to burden households and constrain enterprise.
These are more than statistics. They reflect the daily realities of Nigerian families, farmers, workers, students, and businesses.
Yet I do not believe Nigeria lacks the ability to overcome these challenges. We have the people, resources, market, talent, and enterprise. What we must do now is turn these strengths into security, productivity, and shared prosperity.
LEADERSHIP MUST DELIVER RESULTS
My successful private-sector experience, studies in institutions of repute on policy and business matters, and my service as Governor of Anambra State have shaped my understanding of public leadership. Government must manage resources responsibly, set clear priorities, and measure the outcomes of its decisions. Public office is not a reward; it is a responsibility to the people.
In Anambra, I prioritised the foundations of long-term development: education, healthcare, infrastructure, fiscal discipline, and institutional capacity. I do not present that record as perfect, but as an experience from which Nigerians can draw their own conclusions.
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso brings a different but complementary governing experience.
As Governor of Kano State, he focused strongly on education, technical training, scholarships, infrastructure, and human-capital development. His administration’s investments in education and skills showed an understanding that the people are a state’s most important long-term resource.
Our experiences are different, but our conclusion is the same: Nigeria must invest in its people and manage public resources with discipline.
BUILDING AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS
Nigeria needs more than reactive reforms. We must focus on the questions that matter:
Are Nigerians better off than they were four years ago? Can they afford food, education, and healthcare? Can businesses produce, expand, and create jobs? Can young people find productive work? Can farmers work safely and get their produce to market?
These are the measures that matter.
With your mandate, our economic agenda will put production, investment, enterprise, and human capital at the centre of how we lead.
We will raise agricultural productivity by securing farming communities, expanding irrigation, improving rural roads and storage, and linking farmers to finance and markets. We will also strengthen manufacturing and agro-processing so Nigeria can export more finished goods and capture greater value from its resources. /2

Lmaooo. Daddy Freeze and his performative posturing.
Every single popular "Nigerian big boy" fraudster arrested in the past 7 years, has a video or picture with Daddy Freeze.
The ones with suspicious means of income, he's always frolicking around them.
Man travelling for burial in a J5 bus gets into an argument with Customs officers on the expressway as the officers insist that the driver provide customs papers, while the man insists that the vehicle’s plate number and other documents are enough and that the officers do not need the customs duty papers.
I’m in a salon, in Uyo, making my hair, and I casually asked my stylist who he’s voting for. He said, “Obi.”
I asked, “Which party?” He said, “NDC.” 😂
And it wasn’t just him. Others around were saying the same thing. They’re also saying they’ll apply the Osun formula. I’m so pumped!!!!
#NigeriaWillBeOk
Our campaign will focus on major concerns of Nigerians and not on ethnicity or religion.
