This is how presidents or prime ministers should behave. He is already receiving briefings about the incident. It is a near-tragedy, still the leader immediately takes care.
That is energy, commitment and compassion.
You need to have a leader who is very healthy, does not need days of healthcare, and compassionate to respond quickly in such moments.
Our model of campaign is different.
While political campaigns often focus on purely politics, our focus is on development, human capital, education, agriculture, healthcare, jobs, security and building a productive economy.
We are working towards a Nigeria where every citizen can proudly say, “I am Nigerian.”
A Nigeria that works.
A Nigeria that produces.
A Nigeria that creates opportunities.
A Nigeria that restores hope.
If we want a good tomorrow, we must educate our children today.
Nigeria MUST be OK.
I've lost count of how many times Peter Obi visited IDP camps in various parts of the country as a private citizen.
Tinubu, your president, never visited IDP camp. No love and No empathy for the victims of terrorism.
But people are supporting him and campaigning for his reelection.
If you like don't vote with your sense in 2027.

CAN YOU SEE THAT YOU ALL ARE MAD?”
The Ambulances donated by Peter Obi in Anambra State, while he was the governor 14 years ago, is the same Ambulances in use till date in Anambra state.
Soludo should be ashamed of himself.

Ebonyi people, both old and young need a new & better Nigeria for all. You can now see why Dave Umahi is dancing naked in the market square.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

SOKOTO: WHEN LEADERSHIP LEAVES THE PODIUM AND WALKS AMONG THE PEOPLE
I have travelled with Mr. Peter Obi to many parts of Nigeria and beyond, but the two days in Sokoto reminded me again of something fundamental about the man I have come to know closely: Mr Peter Obi does not merely speak to people; he listens to them. And sometimes, listening is the first act of responsible leadership.
Our Sokoto visit began with the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III. It was more than a courtesy call. There was a depth to that encounter that only history can explain. The Sultan recalled knowing Mr Peter Obi since 1980, when Obi was a young university student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, almost 46 years of acquaintance and relationship.
There was something deeply significant about watching that interaction. Two men, separated by different journeys and responsibilities, speaking about Nigeria, its unity, its security, its poverty and the responsibility that comes with leadership. The Sultan reminded them of a truth that should never be forgotten: political offices are temporary, but the peace and unity of Nigeria are permanent responsibilities.
From the Sultan's Palace, Mr Peter Obi went to the people. He sat with party members. He met community leaders. He engaged women. He interacted with young people. He met members of the Obidient family and the Kwankwasiyya movement. He listened to different groups and different perspectives. And then came the town hall. For me, this was perhaps the heart of the visit. Mr Peter Obi did not come simply to deliver a prepared speech and leave. He sat before Nigerians and took their questions, on unity, security, education, healthcare, corruption, poverty, agriculture, infrastructure, electricity, subsidy and the future of our country.
His philosophy was clear: government should be demand driven, not supply-driven. Leaders must first listen to citizens, understand their problems and then formulate policies around those realities. That is not just a campaign technique. That is a philosophy of governance. He spoke about education because he understands that a nation that abandons its children is abandoning its future. He spoke about security because development is meaningless when citizens cannot sleep safely in their homes. He spoke about corruption because no nation can transform when public resources continue to disappear. He spoke about electricity, jobs, agriculture, healthcare and infrastructure because poverty is not solved by speeches. And he repeatedly returned to the same central idea: government must be about the people. But what moved me even more was what happened outside the political theatre.
Mr Peter Obi and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso went to the Ramin Kura IDP camp and sat with displaced Nigerians. They did not merely speak about internally displaced persons as statistics. They went to see them, listen to them and feel the reality of their condition. That is why his recent words at an IDP camp in Ramin Kura have stayed with me: “As long as you are in an IDP camp, Nigeria is in an IDP camp. When you go home, Nigeria is at home.”
That statement captures something profound about his understanding of leadership. An IDP is not somebody else's problem. A hungry child is not somebody else's child. An abandoned village is not somebody else's village. A farmer driven from his land is not somebody else's Nigerian. Their pain is Nigeria's pain. And that is the kind of humanity we must demand from anyone seeking to occupy the highest office in our country.
I have watched Mr Peter Obi travel long distances, move from one engagement to another, sit with ordinary Nigerians, answer difficult questions, visit places where comfort does not exist, and still continue listening. There is an extraordinary energy in this man. But more important than the physical energy is the moral energy, the refusal to become detached from the people he seeks to serve.
OBI WOULD NOT ROLL OVER BUDGETS — THAT'S APC'S PASTIME WHICH DISTORTS THE ECONOMY
President Peter Obi has promised fiscal discipline and responsibility. Only yesterday, the National Assembly approved the continued implementation of the 2025 annual budget in the last quarter of 2026!
Under the Tinubu-led administration, the national budget has always been implemented in arrears. In fact, there was a period when the 2024 and 2025 budgets were still running concurrently in 2026. Such recklessness and lack of seriousness distort the economy badly. Capital projects suffer, contractors are owed, and they either abandon sites or demand variations. This is why we have uncompleted roads everywhere.
Implementation of budgets in arrears is a clear violation of Section 318 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), and by extension, a violation of Section 59 and the Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007, which require annuality and discipline.
Such implementation in arrears causes inflation, with government borrowing spiking to fund both budgets. Indeed, no investor can plan when government fiscal policy is late, and the budget loses all its signaling value. Arrears budgeting creates room for 'budget padding in arrears'.
As a matter of economic truth, operating the 2025 budget in the last quarter of 2026 means you are not budgeting at all. You are just spending! These are the vicious cycles that an Obi presidency would break, liberating Nigeria from corruption, poverty, and underdevelopment.
A New Nigeria is Possible. We can do it!
My response to Kenneth Okonkwo on the so-called Atiku Subsidy plan.
I suggest next time they bring someone else who actually understands the subject and can confidentially defend whatever the next populist idea is they’re selling to Nigerians.
The only pragmatic solution to our current problems is the one offered by @PeterObi .
- A new Nigeria is POssible.
@AmaechiStans@ehimaggie Shut up thief. Who formed npdp? Who was Buharis campaign DG and put in a lot of Rivers state money. Shameless political jobbers. Una no get concience. Lie kee you. Tueh.
IN CONCLUSION OF MY VISIT TO SOKOTO STATE
Yesterday, 29th September, in continuation of my two-day visit to Sokoto State, I had extensive consultations and discussions with various groups from across the state on insecurity, out-of-school children, endemic poverty, youth unemployment, drug prevalence, and other issues affecting our people in this part of the country.
My final engagement was a visit to the Ramin Kura IDP Camp in Sokoto North LGA, within the Sokoto metropolis, which is currently housing over 1,000 internally displaced persons.
During my tour of the facility, I found it particularly distressing to see Nigerians crammed into makeshift shelters and thatched rooms, with some rooms housing as many as 10 persons. The camp also lacks adequate toilet facilities, a primary healthcare centre, and even a basic school for the children.
I have always insisted that as long as even one Nigerian lives in an IDP camp, we are all internally displaced. Therefore, the government of today must work assiduously to make the temporary accommodation for our dear citizens living in these camps comfortable, while ensuring that all the underlying security issues that created these conditions in the first place are resolved, to enable them to return to their ancestral homes.
This is my 12th visit to IDP camps across Nigeria, and, just like in the others, I am committing to continuously supporting these Nigerians for as long as it takes.
This is why I continue to say that the President’s and political office holders’ holidays must be within Nigeria, so that they can see first-hand the difficulties faced by these fellow Nigerians, whose vulnerability has been worsened by the failure of government to prioritise critical areas of development.
Let me seize this opportunity to again call on the government and the relevant agencies to immediately look into the plight of these citizens and address their pressing needs.
A New Nigeria is POssible and will be OK.
