Mr Peter Obi is in Church again today, at the Streams of Joy with Pastor Jerry Eze, those who get very sad when we go to church we will be praying for you.
According to a report, the Esan West LGA Chairman in Edo State, Blessing Albert Ebhodaghe, threatened to demolish the homes or businesses of anyone hosting an NDC meeting within the Local Government.
Those beating this war drum for him today may abandon him when the consequences arrive. Power is temporary, but actions have consequences. He should think carefully about his family’s safety, his children’s future, and the legacy he wants to leave behind.
For someone that lives off fraternising with fraudsters and fake pastors them sits on social media begging money guns everyday from Nigerians, this old boy (pronounced daddy freeze) really does think he made any sense in his stoopid video…..
How Hired Thugs Obstructed My Visit to Benue State
Yesterday, I attended the opening of the national campaign office of an opposition presidential candidate, Governor Seyi Makinde in Abuja. My presence was intended to demonstrate that politics can and should be conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect and civility. As Governor of Anambra State, I made it a point during electioneering to welcome visiting opposition members personally, provided they acted within the ambits of the law.
Guided by that same commitment to decency over partisanship, I travelled to Benue this morning, arriving at approximately 9:00 a.m. on a purely humanitarian mission: to visit the grieving families affected by the horrific killings in Yelwata, where over 270 people were massacred.
Regrettably, our convoy was prevented from proceeding to the community by thugs chanting, “Peter Obi, go back.” It was deeply distressing to witness such hostility. I came to Benue not for partisan politics, but to mourn with our people, to listen to families who have lost loved ones, and to offer comfort at a moment of unimaginable sorrow. That a mission intended purely to show solidarity, compassion, and support could be obstructed in this manner is deeply alarming.
At a time when our nation should be united in grief and resolute in preventing further bloodshed, we must reject any action capable of deepening our divisions. The people of Benue - and all Nigerians - deserve to sleep without fear. They deserve to travel without fear. They deserve to cultivate their land without fear. Above all, they deserve a country where the state places the protection of human life far above political expediency.
Although we were unable to reach the community today, our thoughts and prayers remain steadfastly with the victims, their families, and the entire Yelwata community. We shall continue to work until the primary responsibility of government - the safeguarding of every Nigerian life - is restored. Until then, we cannot truly say we have built the nation our people deserve.

Peter Obi is the kind of leader who sees while sitting down what many politicians cannot see even when they climb a tree. He understands leadership, capacity and the consequences of political decisions long before others begin to see the danger.
In 2014, Obi warned Nigerians not to confuse Buhari’s past as Head of State with the capacity to govern a modern Nigeria decades later. Buhari was still packaged as a messiah by Tinubu, Sowore and their likes. After four years of economic decline and hardship, many of the same people still insisted he must continue for another four years because he needed to complete the transformation he started. We warned he was clueless and ineptitude and there was nothing he was doing.
Today, the same pattern is repeating itself with Tinubu. The economy is battered, Nigerians are struggling, businesses are suffocating, yet some people are already demanding eight years.
At what point does blind loyalty become wickedness to your own country?
If a government is failing, demanding more years for it is not patriotism.
That is the difference between foresight and political blindness. Obi looks beyond slogans, political worship and nostalgia. He thinks about competence, capacity, consequences and the future.
Nigeria ignored that kind of foresight once and paid heavily for it. Repeating the same mistake again is not loyalty. It is choosing politics, religion or ego over the country.
Una no really like this country.
UNITY AND LOVE IN POLITICS
Yesterday, I joined my brothers, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, the Presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), and Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, the Leader of the APM, at the commissioning of the party’s Presidential Campaign Office in Abuja.
I used the opportunity to emphasise the need for us to build a New Nigeria anchored on Unity, Love, Justice, mutual respect, and inclusion, particularly at a time when political contests can become unnecessarily contentious and divisive.
We must insist that our shared love for our country should always be greater than our political differences. This is my call to all contestants in the forthcoming elections.
Let our contest be about ideas and solutions that will address the enormous challenges facing our country today: insecurity, poverty, hunger, inequality, and the growing number of out-of-school children.
Let us compete on ideas that will unite our people, improve their lives, and restore hope to our nation, while maintaining respect, decency, and love for one another.
I congratulate my dear brothers, Governor Seyi Makinde and Governor Bala Mohammed, as well as all the leaders and members of the APM, on this important milestone.

I am deeply saddened by the fire outbreak at Ede Plaza in Jabi Market, Abuja, beside Sandralia Hotel, in the early hours of today.
My heart goes out to the traders, artisans, workers, families and business owners whose goods, investments and livelihoods may have been affected by this unfortunate incident. For many of them, what has been lost is not simply merchandise; it represents years of savings, borrowing, sacrifice, hope and the determination to build a better life.
As a country, we cannot continue to lose businesses and livelihoods repeatedly to preventable disasters. Each time this happens, we gradually lose our productive capacity. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and when a trader loses a shop, we should understand that a family may lose its income, children may lose educational opportunities, workers may lose their jobs, and an entire community may suffer economic instability.
The true measure of development is the extent to which government projects and investments improve and protect the lives and livelihoods of its people.
As we grieve what has happened at Jabi Market, let us not wait for another market to burn before we act. Let this tragedy become a reason to strengthen our emergency-response systems, especially by ensuring that our fire service is properly equipped, adequately staffed and capable of responding swiftly to emergencies.
We must protect our small businesses and ensure that Abuja, and indeed Nigeria, becomes a safer place to live, work and invest.
May God comfort every person affected by this disaster, restore the livelihoods that have been lost, and grant our emergency responders the strength and wisdom required at this difficult moment.
A safer and more prosperous Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Yesterday Saturday 15th August morning, I visited Grimard College of Nursing Sciences, Ayingba in Dekina LGA of Kogi State. A few years ago, the institution faced a threat to its accreditation due to the lack of a bus for student clinical placements.
It gives me great satisfaction to note that, thanks to my intervention and the subsequent provision of a school bus, the school has successfully retained its accreditation and continues to play a vital role in educating nurses and other healthcare professionals.
My visit today was a continuation of this commitment. I contributed ₦10 million towards establishing a Skills Laboratory Centre for the school.
I reaffirmed my ongoing support to the institution’s management, staff, and students. Specifically, I urged the students to dedicate themselves to their studies. A career in nursing offers extensive opportunities and equips individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to excel and make significant contributions globally.
Every nation striving for sustainable development and an improved quality of life for its citizens must deliberately invest in two crucial sectors: education and healthcare. These are not areas to be overlooked. Governments have a responsibility to prioritise them, and it is equally important for conscientious individuals and organisations to support these efforts.
A renewed Nigeria is achievable. -PO
“I was among the beneficiaries of Mr Peter Obi’s agricultural loan scheme in Anambra State back then. I received ₦10 million, such amount of money is equivalent to about ₦100 million in today’s value. This commissioner here led the disbursement of the loans. There was no discrimination between indigenous people and those who relocated to the state.”
— Chairman of the Northern Community in Anambra State, Alhaji Gidado Sidikki, recounts how they benefited from the agricultural loan scheme when NDC presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, was governor of Anambra State.
“the security situation, is what it is. We don’t have another country but here, this Nigeria. And then we revert to our national anthem, in this complexity, diversity…”
This man went from security to national anthem in just 2 sentences.
