Dear Nigerians, PAY ATTENTION!
World leaders are gathering on the French Alps for their 52nd Summit. G7 is a Group of Seven nations, their annual meeting starts today.
President Trump just arrived after celebrating his colorful 80th birthday at the White House.
THIS IS WORLD POLITICS AT ITS FINEST!
The G7 gather annually to discuss global economics, security, policy, & geopolitics. G7 members are major IMF advanced economies.
They decide your fate. They control the World Bank & the IMF. Your loans largely come from them. This year’s Summit is happening LIVE in Évian town in France, along the Swiss border.
President Emmanuel Macron is hosting.
The G7 includes America, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, & the United Kingdom.
Invitee nations (guests) at this year’s summit include Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, South Korea, Qatar, Ukraine, & the United Arab Emirates.
The G7 is the highest level of diplomacy. This is Geopolitics at center stage. If you’re not here? Then you should be at the BRICS (the counter geopolitical bloc). If you don’t belong in of the camps? THEN YOU ARE A NOBODY!
It’s another victory for Kenya. The only African invitee. South Africa, Kenya, & Rwanda have taken the spotlight on the continent. Nigeria is no longer in rooms where “global politics” is discussed. The APC made sure of that.
Guess what? Nigeria used to be an invitee.
You were invited five times. OBJ (2000, 2002, & 2005), Muhammadu Buhari (2015), & Yemi Osinbajo (2017) were once at this Summit.
Asiwaju has done 3 years without an invitation. Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the failure of Geopolitics & Foreign Policy. Despite his affinity with Macron, Nigeria has been largely sidelined.
Obasanjo remains the only Nigerian President to have addressed the group of powerful industrialized nations 3x. He remains the only Nigerian President to have been invited 3x.
Others came for handshakes & photo ops.
OBJ was at the G8 Summit in Scotland (2005) where he addressed the Summit. He was at the G8 Meeting in Okinawa, Japan (2000) as well.
That was how he achieved debt relief, trade reforms, & the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) — his brainchild.
The G8 (Group of Eight) was the G7 (Group of Seven) until Russia joined. Russia was admitted in 1997, but the group permanently reverted back to the G7 after Russia was expelled in 2014 following— its annexation of Crimea.
NIGERIA HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS! Give this man his flowers. He is not your mate! 🫡💪
Reflecting on the Prison Exchange with Ethiopia
The news of the conclusion of the prisoners exchange between Nigeria and Ethiopia is refreshing.
Every life is precious, and ensuring the constitutional right to human dignity for all Nigerians - regardless of where they are or the circumstances they find themselves in - must remain a cornerstone of our national foreign policy.
I must therefore appreciate the efforts of our Foreign Affairs Minister, Amb. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), and their Ethiopian counterparts for finally concluding these protracted negotiations.
However, we must reflect deeply on this development. It is heartbreaking to learn that at least four Nigerian citizens lost their lives in custody while this diplomatic and administrative process dragged on over the past few years. My heart goes out to their families, who had to endure the ultimate pain of losing loved ones in a foreign land.
While we commend this humanitarian intervention, it serves as a reminder of a larger systemic crisis. The overwhelming majority of these citizens are young Nigerians. A significant number were arrested while transiting through Addis Ababa’s Bole International Airport in search of green pastures. While we must continuously urge our citizens to remain law-abiding and respect the laws of host nations wherever they travel or reside, we must also ask ourselves a hard question: What drives our young and productive population into desperate circumstances across the globe?
Until we build a New Nigeria that offers genuine economic opportunities, a functional educational framework, and an environment where hard work is rewarded, we will continue to grapple with the tragic consequences of mass emigration and its associated vulnerabilities.
As these citizens are brought home to serve out their terms, our correctional facilities must be properly managed with a focus on genuine rehabilitation and societal reintegration. Let us use this moment not just for short-term relief, but as an urgent call to build a nation that protects, values, and empowers its citizens here at home.
With the right policies and leadership, a New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Today, we visited this school, Ehere Community Comprehensive Secondary School, which is located in the most remote area of Obingwa LGA in Abia State, to ensure no child is left behind.
I was impressed to see how neat the students were.
The gospel of mathematics is taking us everywhere in the South East.

Ignore Kwara, stay silent about Ondo, keep quiet on Ekiti and Osun, and forget the kidnapped children in Oyo, all because of Bola Tinubu. But when he leaves office and you suddenly find your voice, may the devil blind you.
Your PVC is more than a card; it is your voice, your power, and your responsibility. Every election is an opportunity to shape the future we desire. Don’t sit on the sidelines and complain participate, vote, and be part of the change. Together, we can build a nation founded on good governance, accountability, and shared prosperity. Register, collect your PVC, and make your vote count. Nigeria will be OK. 🇳🇬✊🏾

“In my lifetime in Nigeria, I have never seen a Nigerian politician come out and say that, as a former governor, he left money behind, built over 800 kilometers of roads, elevated his state’s education from last to top, and since leaving office has not taken a pension or any benefits attached to being a former governor.
Or that the reason he was impeached was because he refused to pad a budget that was supposed to be used for renovations. Something they wanted to do for billions of naira, he did for less than ₦400 million.
To top it off, neither the ruling party that has a record of intimidating and blackmailing their opponents with their looting/corruption records, nor the EFCC, one of the most biased & corrupt institutions in Nigeria, has found anything significant to use against him. I have never seen such a leader in Nigerian history.”

Sustainable Success Is Built on Competence, Integrity, Discipline and hardworking.
On Saturday, I had the privilege of interacting with young entrepreneurs, professionals, business leaders, and members of the emerging generation at the This Generation Conference hosted by Summit Bible Church in Abuja.
Our discussion focused on what it takes to thrive in the marketplace despite prevailing economic challenges. I shared insights from my years in business and public service, emphasizing that sustainable success is built on integrity, competence, discipline, and a commitment to creating value for society.
I reminded participants that no nation develops by consumption alone. Nations progress when their citizens are productive, innovative, and committed to excellence. Our young people must resist the temptation of shortcuts and instead embrace education, skills acquisition, entrepreneurship, and ethical leadership.
The future of Nigeria depends largely on the quality of leadership and enterprise this generation is willing to build. We must move from a culture of sharing poverty to one of creating prosperity through production, innovation, and responsible governance.
I left encouraged by the energy, intelligence, and determination of the young people I met. Their questions, ideas, and aspirations reaffirmed my belief that Nigeria’s greatest resource remains her people.
Together, through hard work, integrity, and purposeful leadership, we can build the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
Coping with the systematic collapse of our institutions.
When the controversy surrounding the removal of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, unfolded, I expressed a concern to a friend: that the greatest damage might not be immediate, but the message it sends about the sanctity and independence of our institutions to the world.
Strong economies are built on trust. Investors can manage security risks, policy risks, and even market risks. What they fear most is uncertainty in the rule of law and a judiciary that is perceived to be vulnerable to political pressure.
Today, many Nigerians have lost confidence in systems that should protect them. Businesses increasingly request that their contracts be governed by foreign jurisdictions because they have greater confidence in those institutions than in our own. That should concern every patriot.
We must never sacrifice our sacred institutions on the altar of politics. Nations rise when institutions are stronger than individuals. "The federal High Court Judgement ordering the de-registration of the ADC and other political parties is just one of those activities that further reduces the common man's trust in our legal systems" it should be reversed.
I pledge that we will restore the dignity, independence, and integrity of the Judiciary. The common man must have a voice. The business community must be protected from legal uncertainty and intimidation. Justice must be impartial, accessible, and respected by all.
To our judges, legal luminaries, senior advocates, and lawyers: this is your moment. Rise, defend the rule of law, take back your country!

N4 BILLION SPENT ON RAIL PROJECTS IN BORNO, BUT WHERE ARE THE RAILS?
Borno State's 2025 Budget Implementation Report claims that N2 billion was fully spent on the Construction of Rail Projects in MMC LGA and another N2 billion on the construction of Rail Projects in Jere LGA, bringing the total reported expenditure to N4 billion, with both projects recorded as 100% implemented.
However, in May 2026, our tracking activities at both locations, based on the findings, told a different story.
At the Maiduguri Railway Terminus and across the rail corridors visited in MMC and Jere LGAs, we found old, rusted, abandoned, and deteriorating rail infrastructure. There was no visible evidence of recently completed rail construction or rehabilitation works, no active construction sites, no contractor presence, and no project signage indicating that N4 billion worth of projects had been executed.
Community members also reported that they could not recall any recent major rail construction activities within the affected areas.
@ProfZulum, the Ministry of Transport and Energy, and relevant authorities owe the people of Borno State answers.
* What exactly was the N4 billion spent on?
* Who were the contractors?
* Where are the completed rail projects reflected in the 2025 Budget Implementation Report?
* Why does the physical reality not appear to align with the reported 100% implementation status?
We call on the @BornoGovt, State House of Assembly, @officialEFCC, and @icpcnigeria to investigate these projects and provide clarity on the utilization of public funds.
Again, this is another reminder that it is a must for citizens to pay closer attention to state budgets.
Accountability should not end with budget releases; it must extend to verifying what is actually delivered on the ground.
