NASARAWA STATE: SECURITY, EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE AND LIFTING OUR PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY
Following yesterday’s visit to Kogi State, I proceeded to Akwanga, Nasarawa State, today, 28 October 2026, to continue our series of town hall meetings across Nigeria. These engagements provide an opportunity to interact directly with our people, listen to their concerns, and understand their expectations for a better Nigeria.
In Akwanga, I granted an interview to a local radio station, where we discussed critical national issues, particularly insecurity, the economy, and the urgent need to lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty.
I was subsequently joined by my dear elder brother and the NDC Vice Presidential Candidate, His Excellency, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, for the town hall meeting.
Participants raised important questions and shared their concerns about insecurity, particularly the challenges women face in accessing their farms; support for persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups; fuel subsidy; corruption; the present government’s excessive borrowing; the deteriorating state of our schools; and other challenges affecting their daily lives.
In my response, I assured the participants that our first priority, upon election, would be to unite the country, decisively tackle corruption, and confront the insecurity ravaging communities across Nigeria.
I also reaffirmed our shared commitment to massive investment in education and healthcare, including the provision of at least one fully functional primary healthcare centre in every political ward across the country. Our goal is to reduce the cost of living, expand opportunities, and lift Nigerians out of poverty.
I sincerely thank all participants, our party members, the organisers, and the good people of Nasarawa State for their warm reception, thoughtful contributions, and active participation.
A New Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK! -PO
Today, we officially signed a landmark partnership agreement with Sterling Bank!
Sterling Bank is committing ₦60 million in prizes for the 2027 South East Mathematics & Science Olympiad.
In addition, the bank is committing ₦24 million to our National Mathematics Quiz, where outstanding students will receive ₦1 million in prizes every month.
But it gets even better!
Our star students will now have access to internship opportunities at Sterling Bank, while winners of the South East Mathematics & Science Olympiad will receive an additional one-year scholarship.
What a bank! What a commitment to the future of Nigerian children!
We will continue to double down on our efforts to build the greatest workforce in Africa by 2036.
We are deliberately investing in the next generation of mathematicians, scientists, engineers, innovators, and problem-solvers.
And I have just one request for everyone reading this:
Open an account with Sterling Bank. Encourage your family members, friends, and colleagues to bank with Sterling.
When a bank makes this level of commitment to the education and future of our children, it deserves our support.
This is the kind of corporate investment that can transform a generation.
Sterling Bank is not just banking on Nigerians. It is investing in the future of Nigeria.
Thank you, Sterling Bank. Our children will remember this investment.

We have made significant progress in redesigning the Igbo Apprenticeship System.
We have now signed an agreement with a German Ausbildung programme, one of the world’s most respected vocational training systems in the world.
We will be selecting 20 young people between the ages of 16 and 25 from across the five South-Eastern states for specialised training in various trades, including carpentry, plumbing, welding, masonry, and other technical skills.
The selected participants will first undergo nine months of intensive German language training in Enugu before securing Ausbildung placements and relocating to Germany for specialised vocational training.
Upon completing their training, they will return to Nigeria to train others, transferring their knowledge and expertise to local communities as we progressively expand the programme.
Our core focus is precision, technical excellence, and world-class craftsmanship.
We want to develop a generation of highly skilled professionals who can build infrastructure, transform industries, create jobs, and contribute meaningfully to the development of our society.
These are the people who will build the future of our region.
We are deliberately building the human capital required to transform the South East.
Hear me out, Peter Obi is democracy himself.
He’s the president of the people, for the people, and by the people.
Vote wisely, make thunder no fire you abeg.
This guy saw Peter Obi's vehicle, chased after him and started warning him seriously that he must win. He told Obi that there's no other option, he must win.
This happened yesterday in Kogi when Peter Obi visited the state.
Behold NDC Presidential candidate Mr. Peter Obi and his running mate Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso in Akwanga, Nasarawa State, today for a town hall meeting addressing the issues that matter to Nigerians.
Goosebumps all over my body watching this! 🥹✊
He was energetically telling Peter Obi, “You will win, the youth are with you!”
He represents all of us; he just didn’t hide his own feelings!
A New Nigeria Is Possible! ✌️
