“The energy they used to attack Peter Obi’s convoy, if they use that energy with the collaboration and help of the state government, they will give any bandit in Benue state 24hrs to vacate and they will not remain in that place….”

Yesterday, the disgraced Governor of Benue State, Mr. Hyacinth Alia, organized APC youths in the state capital.
One of them is Paso, seen here at the rally and subsequently seen alongside other youths who attacked the convoy of Mr. Peter Obi.
Free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu: Nigeria Cannot Keep One Law For The Igbo And Another For Everyone Else
Nigeria Is Not Short Of Armed Men. It Is Short Of Equal Justice.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Sits In a Nigerian Prison Under a Life Sentence Because The Nigerian State Decided That An Igbo Man Who Demanded Self-Determination, And Who Raised a Regional Security Network After Farms And Communities In The South-East Had Become Targets Of Kidnapping, Violence And a Killing Ground, Was a Terrorist.
That Conviction, Delivered On 20 November 2025, Is Now Being Challenged On Appeal. The Case Must Be Heard. The Government That Fought To Keep Him In Chains When An Earlier Court Discharged Him Cannot Now Remain Silent When He Is Asking For His Appeal To Be Heard. That Is Not The Posture Of a Confident Prosecution. It Raises Serious Questions About a State That Appears Determined To Keep a Political Prisoner Locked Away Rather Than Allow The Law To Be Tested Fully And Transparently.
Call His Imprisonment What It Is: Unjust, Illegal In Its Origins, And Unconstitutional In Its Method. He Did Not Simply “Jump Bail” In The Cartoon Version The Federal Government Has Sold For Years.
In April 2017, He Was Granted Bail. In September 2017, During Operation Python Dance II, Soldiers Moved On Afaraukwu, Umuahia. His Family Compound Was Raided, And The Military Operation Resulted In Deaths. Hundreds Of People Were Shot And Killed. His Father’s Palace Was Desecrated, Household Property Was Carted Away, And The Items They Could Not Carry Were Destroyed.
IPOB And Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Family Have Always Maintained Something Simpler And More Terrible: The Military Came For Him In His Home, And He Fled Because Remaining There Could Have Cost Him His Life.
A Man Running From An Armed Assault On His Family Home Is Not a Fugitive From Justice And Should Not Casually Be Reduced To a “Bail-Jumper” Without Confronting The Circumstances That Caused Him To Leave.
He Is a Survivor Of State Violence. The Government That Nearly Got Him Killed Then Spent Years Branding Him a Fugitive From Justice And Branding Him a Bail-Jumper. That Is Not Justice. That Is Narrative Management.
When They Finally Got Him Again, They Did Not Use a Conventional Extradition Process. In June 2021, He Was Abducted In Kenya, Held Incommunicado, Flown Into Nigeria Without Due Process And Brought Back To Nigeria Under Circumstances That Courts Subsequently Condemned. That Is The Extraordinary-Rendition Controversy At The Heart Of This Case. The Court Of Appeal In 2022 Discharged Him, Finding Serious Violations Arising From The Manner In Which He Was Brought Back To Nigeria. A United Nations Working Group On Arbitrary Detention Also Found His Detention Arbitrary, Said The Transfer Violated International Law And Called For Appropriate Remedies. In 2025, a
Kenyan Court Also Ruled Against The Circumstances Surrounding His Removal From Kenya And Declared His Abduction And Forcible Removal From Kenya Unconstitutional And Illegal.
Nigeria’s Supreme Court Later Described The Manner Of His Return And Rendition As “Unfair And Oppressive” While Nevertheless Allowing The Criminal Proceedings To Continue. A State That Concedes It Kidnapped a Man Across a Border And Then Convicts Him On The Fruit Of That Kidnapping Is Not Administering Justice. It Is Laundering An Abduction Through a Courtroom.
Think About That.
A State Can Unlawfully Or Oppressively Bring a Man Across An International Border, Then Put Him On Trial After That Process, And Still Insist That The Resulting Prosecution Represents Ordinary Justice. A State That Concedes The Process Was Unfair Should Not Be Surprised When Citizens Question The Legitimacy Of Everything That Followed. Now The Conviction Itself Is Being Challenged On Serious Legal Grounds, Including Arguments Concerning The Terrorism Legislation Under Which He Was Prosecuted And The Applicability Of Repealed Provisions.
Yesterday, 8th September, following the unfortunate incident in Benue State, where our delegation was prevented from proceeding to Yelwata to visit displaced Nigerians and families affected by the recent attacks, I proceeded to Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, where I visited an IDP camp housing over 500 displaced persons.
The situation in Mangu is deeply disturbing. Over 45,000 people have reportedly been displaced, while more than 20 communities have been sacked by terrorists. These are Nigerians who want nothing more than to return to their ancestral homes, rebuild their communities, cultivate their farms, and live their lives in peace and dignity.
As I have always maintained, as long as there is one displaced Nigerian, all Nigerians are displaced.
I therefore urge the government to do more to secure these beleaguered communities and restore the confidence of our people. The right to life, safety, dignity and livelihood must be protected for every Nigerian, irrespective of where they live, their ethnicity, religion or political affiliation.
Our displaced citizens must not become forgotten Nigerians. They are citizens of our country whose homes, livelihoods and futures have been disrupted. Government must create the conditions for their safe and dignified return, secure their communities and support them to rebuild their lives.
I concluded my visit by offering my modest support to the displaced families as a gesture of solidarity, compassion and shared humanity.
The New Nigeria we seek must be a country where every citizen can live, work, farm, raise a family and pursue their dreams in peace and security.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Peter Obi is that one politician who knows how to clean up a mess.
He will clean up the combined mess left behind by Jonathan, Buhari, and Tinubu.
He did it in Anambra, and I believe he can do it for Nigeria.
Listen to this.
I am deeply disturbed by the attack on the convoy of our presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as he travelled to Benue State.
The deliberate mobilisation of unruly elements to block and attack his convoy and prevent him from entering Makurdi marks another dark day for our democracy.
Authorities must remember that the Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to freedom of movement. This right applies even more strongly to Mr Obi, a former governor and leading opposition figure.
The Benue State Government must, as a matter of urgency, ensure that those responsible are swiftly identified and prosecuted. It must also guarantee the safety and free movement of our candidate and his entourage.
I further urge the President to caution state governors, particularly those in his party against any actions that could undermine the sanctity of our democracy.
I also call on the international community, including diplomatic missions and election observation groups, to take note of this incident and to urge Nigerian authorities to uphold the rule of law, protect opposition leaders, and safeguard democratic freedoms. - RMK
This video of an armed security agent assaulting civilians at one of their many checkpoints in Southeast has become a constant feature in the entire SE. Most of them act like an occupation force. And it has to stop, now!
Peter Obi’s cautionary and endlessly diplomatic approach to issues and politics is not going to deter the Tinubu regime, governors and his political adversaries who are continuously undermining his right to freedom of movement.
At some point, he has to realize that fierce resistance and confrontation are necessary in certain circumstances in order cure madness and end impunity.
Anyone who believes that the APC is ready for free and fair elections is delusional.
The black chubby guy’s name is Paso, he lives at High level Makurdi opposite exodus cinema.
He is a thug for hire.
He has several guys under him in the name of bouncers.
This is a Radio Station 🚉 in the innermost part of ILE-IFE, the message of His Excellency Mr Peter Obi is marinating in the minds of many others.
A new Nigeria 🇳🇬 is POSSIBLE.
“Chris Ngige was the only governor in the history of Nigeria to have been kidn@pped. But immediately Peter Obi assumed office as governor, things started changing. Every day, we military personnel were on the move, working to tackle insecurity. I served under retired Major General Enenche. If Peter Obi becomes President of Nigeria, insecurity in the country will become a thing of the past. I’m speaking from experience.”
