Dear Young Nigerians,

One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.

In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.

Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.

Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.

Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.

Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.

At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.

We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.

I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.

Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.

The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@the_Lawrenz But he was the Leader of APC then and nominated a good number of Buhari's cabinet. He never criticized any of Buhari's policies then because he was involved in the APC rulership.

Congratulations to @Morris_Monye on his Primaries held today at Issele-Uku.

Politics is a lot of work and stress.

One VC, one Professor, one woman, one person refused to be used in 2023, and today Abịa State has been liberated. What role will you play in 2027?

@Nedumcity_ @EzechukwuObinn2 I was carefully scrolling to see if someone will bring this screenshot up and your response here shows all your clamourings are for selfish interest, nothing else.
I have been suspecious of your posts about NDC membership and leadership in Enugu. My instinct was right. Stop now!

One of the tragedies of politics in Nigeria is that the terrible consequences of corrupt and incompetent leadership affects both those who support the bad leaders and those who are against them.

When kidnappers invade communities and schools, they do not separate Tinubu/APC supporters from those who are against the regime.

It beats my imagination why a government that has failed is still getting the support of a significant percentage of the population.

Tinubu knows he cannot win in a free and fair election, but it is the same victims of his misrule that are trying to reinforce his destructive leadership.

@Morris_Monye Happy Happy Happy. I believe everyone is. Lets move!!!

Great guy!!!

Open Apology Letter to the Obidient Movement

My Dear Obidient Family, I come before you today with a heavy heart, deep humility, and no excuses. Some time ago, in a moment of frustration and immaturity, I wrote and released a resignation letter as Director of Mobilization. In that letter, I allowed deep frustration & personal emotions to cloud my judgment. I made statements that subtly and unnecessarily dragged Peter Obi, a man I still respect for his vision, integrity, and sacrifice for this nation. That was wrong. It was childish, and beneath the standard I should have upheld, especially as someone who once held a leadership position in this movement.

I take full responsibility. No one forced me to write it. No one edited it. It came from me, and it was a mistake. I deleted the letter afterwards, but I know deletion does not erase the damage, the disappointment, or the loss of trust many of you felt. I understand why some of you no longer respect me the way you once did. You had every right to feel let down.

To Peter Obi himself (fondly called PO): Sir, I am sincerely sorry. My words were not a true reflection of the values of sacrifice, accountability, and constructive criticism that you preach. I failed in that moment. To every single Obidient, the ones who stayed grinding, the ones who defended the vision even when it was tough, the ones who felt betrayed by my actions, I am deeply sorry. You are the real heroes of this movement. Many of you are young people full of hope and fire for a better Nigeria. You didn’t deserve to see internal cracks turned into public drama. I let you down.

I am not writing this because I want something or a position in the movement as I’m enjoying private life. I am writing it because it is the right thing to do. Leadership is not only about when the road is sweet and smooth; it is also about owning up when you mess up. I own this fully. I am committed to rebuilding trust through consistent actions, not just words. But I also know trust is not demanded, it is earned back slowly, if at all. Thank you for reading this.

Whether you accept my apology or not, I respect your feelings and your right to hold me accountable. The love I have for a better Nigeria has not changed. You all know me. My respect for the Obidient spirit remains. I am sorry truly.

With humility and hope for forgiveness,
Your brother in this struggle,
Morris Monye.

Oya come let’s hug. 😊

@Kingprince006 @Morris_Monye I feel sad seeing those remarks. The guy made it clear that he was only resigning from his position as Director of mobilization not from Obidient movement. This is not how to encourage People who put in a lot of work. I hope he is able to ignore them completely.

@Wizarab10 They are just being irrational.

@trigottista This guy's effort pre and post 2023 is unmatched. Respect him.

@ruffydfire That means some of those funds are maturing now and Soludo is in control of the funds yet keeps hating on the Man who did all this.

@Morris_Monye Did Obi leave ADC primarily because of contestation over ticket or the very complicated party's legal problems?
Why are the other coallition supporters not seeing the danger of having all the opposition in one party laden with govt induced crisis and legal uncertainties?

[Shining @kelzzilion]

@Morris_Monye Watch the media play their role. They will now begin to platform charlatans paint a picture of crisis where there is none.

[Shining @kelzzilion]

@ruffydfire What was the main issue; complicted legal problems or vontestation over ticket? I stronhly believe it is the former, primarily.
