Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour will revolutionize governance in Lagos State.
Lagosians will stone Thiefnubu just after GRV one year in office.
Thiefnubu over 20 years grip of Lagos State resources must come to an end.
Now that Peter Obi and Kwankwaso have moved from ADC to NDC.
How long do you think it will take before APC starts bringing up factions and lawsuits in NDC?
We all know that operating system of Thiefnubu and APC.
Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing?
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?
--Peter Obi
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
Peter Obi is just phenomenal. That is the character that will revolutionize governance for good in Nigeria.
The joy is very contagious everywhere he goes.

Elevation For More Service to Humanity.
My dear younger brother, Distinguished Senator Tony Nwoye, congratulations on your emergence as the Senate Minority Whip. This elevation provides a greater platform for you to continue your service to humanity, particularly the poor and suffering Nigerians who look toward principled leadership for hope.
Remain steadfast to the Unity of our dear country, the well-being of the people, and the progress of our nation towards a new Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
Today, in continuation of our consultations and collaboration efforts, I was in Bauchi state with some notable Igbo Leaders where we had a very insightful discussion with Governor Bala Mohammed. The mission is aimed at a United, Secured, productive and progressive Nigeria that cares for all, especially the less privileged.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Still in Bauchi State.
As part of my itinerary in Bauchi state yesterday Thursday 23rd, 2026, after visiting, Madarasatu Intisharul Islam Qismu Tahfizul, Qur'an, Yelwa, I visited Malikiya College of Nursing Sciences, Bauchi.
I had visited the institution in the past and donated 10 million naira which they used to set up their ICT computer centre, which I was impressed to see alongside their increased student intake. During my visit, I donated another 10million naira.
Health is critical for development and we must invest in the human infrastructure needed for that development.

NIGERIA AT THE CROSSROADS: The Case for Action
Congressional Briefing – April 2026
Introduction:
Nigeria: 6th largest nation on earth, on track to be 3rd largest by 2050. About 20 percent of Africa’s population. Top 5 OPEC. Trillion dollars in minerals. A cultural powerhouse.
Nigerians are among the most educated and wealthy immigrant groups in the US — and they do it with integrity, sharing the values that made America great.
Last year, Gen. Michael Langley, AFRICOM, labeled the region anchored by Northern Nigeria the epicenter of global terror. ISIS, Al Qaeda, and others call it home. Their stated ambition: full Sharia in Nigeria, then global jihad. The recent Old Dominion shooter was radicalized there.
Two scenarios: America’s greatest African ally, innovative, peaceful and prosperous — or the greatest security threat of our lifetime, a sharia-exporting giant.
