Despite the fact that he was whisked out of Margaret Ekpo Hall, UNN through the back, they still followed him to the helipad and the pilot had to dragged him to the chopper back to Enugu. Surely, an Alpha Male visiting his previous Alma Mater. God no go shame us #Obi-Datti2023.
It was a profound honour to join fellow party members at the special affirmation ceremony of His Excellency, Peter Obi, as the Presidential Candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 general elections.
I am particularly humbled and deeply honoured by my ratification as the party’s Vice Presidential Candidate.
I extend my sincere gratitude to the National Leader of the NDC, Senator Seriake Dickson, and all other leaders for this bold and visionary decision. It clearly reflects the NDC’s unwavering commitment to national unity, democratic consolidation, and purposeful leadership as we prepare for the 2027 elections. - RMK
On this special day, we celebrate our children, the shining stars who carry the promise of tomorrow. You are the heartbeat of our state and the reason we work tirelessly to build a brighter future.
Since the beginning of our administration, we have consistently invested 20% of Abia’s annual budget in education, meeting the UNESCO benchmark. Our administration remains firmly committed to ensuring that every child in Abia has access to free, quality, and compulsory education. Already, thousands of teachers have been recruited, smart schools are being established, and classrooms are being expanded to give you the tools to dream, to learn, and to achieve.
We apologize for the years when education was neglected, but I assure you that never again will the future of our children be relegated. Together, we are building a generation that is confident, resilient, and ready to lead.
To our parents and guardians, thank you for embracing this vision. To our teachers, thank you for your sacrifices and dedication. And to our children, remember: your future is bright, but nothing replaces hard work and discipline.
❤️Happy Children’s Day!
PART THREE—- FINAL PART
A WARNING TO THE PRESIDENT @officialABAT , GOVERNMENT @NigeriaGov , @nassnigeria@NGRSenate@HouseNGR Governors’ Forum @NGFSecretariat and State Houses of Assembly AND THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL CLASS OF NIGERIA AT LARGE:
DO NOT DARE WISH OUR CHILDREN “HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY�� TODAY .
If you must dare speak on this May 27, then for once, speak the truth of your failures. Stand before Nigerians and confess that you have failed our children. Account for the public budgets that have not guaranteed the Nigerian children safety in their schools nor better education, health, and social protection. Tell us the names and current locations of every single child still in captivity - the Chibok girls, the Kebbi girls, the Niger State children, the Oyo children, and every other.
Tell the parents of these children exactly what your government has done and not done in the days, weeks, months, and years since each abduction.
Publish the audited figures on out-of-school children, on stunting, on learning poverty, on child mortality. Tell us what specific, measurable, time-bound commitments you are making - not in 2030, not in some imaginary future, but this fiscal year - to end the abandonment and to make Nigerian schools safe.
Anything short of that is a desecration of the Children’s Day and constitutes a fresh wound on the badly scared soul of every Nigerian child.
A government that cannot protect its children has forfeited the right to celebrate them. A political class that has built its wealth on the broken backs of the poor has forfeited the right to address their children with affection. There is no moral universe in which the architects of this abandonment may also serve as its celebrants.
To Nigerian children: Some of us see you. The Nigeria you deserve is a country in which you are safe, educated, fed, healed, free to dream and work hard to be the best of any thing you choose to become in this world. We will not stop
to stand with you and for you. The shame of May 27, 2026 belongs not to you, but to those who have governed you into this tragic condition.
Again, to President Tinubu and the rest of his ilk in Nigeria’s political class- who have sworn to a covenant of watching unconcerned that our children are abducted and their teachers killed- be silent on this day.
You have not earned the right to speak to our children today.
Don’t you dare. Period.

Dear Nigerians,
Do you remember those ungrateful Labour Party lawmakers who won their elections riding on Obidient Wave, & later defected to the APC?
The ruling party has denied them their tickets. Like sore losers, they have crawled back to join the NDC. They hope to ride on Peter Obi’s popularity after betraying the Movement.
Now PAY ATTENTION!
Because below are the names of those very unfortunate lawmakers that rode on Obidient Wave & later decamped to the APC. They actually think that we are stupid? Now they will understand why we are called the Mob
There will be no top to bottom this time!
The Obidients will decide who will be in that National Assembly. There is no forgiveness in politics because lives are at stake. Hunger is involved. Families are involved. Joblessness is at stake. Japa is at stake. If it’s forgiveness you seek, you should visit the nearest church.
Those who abandoned Nigerians (at the point of our needs) to party & lounge with the Enemy, will be punished at the polls. We are not the devilish APC, we are not politicians either.
None of us is your slave. The names you see below will fail fantastically. Mark their names, the NDC should note that these are “Persona non grata,” they won’t have our votes this time. We don't want to associate with any of them.
We will use them as scapegoats to set a very big example. We are going to teach them the lesson of their lives. They will serve as perfect examples, a constant reminder to others that treachery won’t go unpunished. Those who work against Nigerians will receive their reward
We own you, you don’t own us. You are our servants & not the other round. NEVER AGAIN!
@KelOnovo That's how we roll under any weather No shi-shi, is born out of love & believe that Nigeria can be all round productive with PO leadership.
