EBONYI STATE: SECURITY, CORRUPTION, NATIONAL UNITY AND THE DIGNITY OF EVERY NIGERIAN
My grassroots sensitisation tour brought me to Ebonyi, the Salt State, today, 29th October 2026, following yesterday’s visit to Akwanga, Nasarawa State, as our nationwide Town Hall Series continues.
In Ebonyi, I made a stop at Nkalagu and Ezillo to greet and acknowledge our supporters and briefly visited the market in Ezillo, where I interacted with our hardworking women who trade and bring farm produce to market.
In Abakaliki, I joined our party supporters on a road walk to the venue of our town hall meeting.
At the town hall, participants raised concerns about insecurity, particularly kidnapping and banditry; corruption; government borrowing; and the deteriorating condition of our hospitals, schools, and other essential amenities.
The most touching contribution came from a participant representing persons living with disabilities, who spoke about the challenges they face and the apparent lack of adequate support from government and society.
I assured the participants that, upon election, our foremost priorities will be to unite the country, decisively tackle insecurity and confront corruption, while pulling our people out of poverty.
To our brothers and sisters living with disabilities, I reiterated that the compassion of a nation is measured by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens. We will work with state governments to ensure their inclusion, proper care and dignity.
We will also invest massively in education and healthcare, including at least one fully functional primary healthcare centre in every political ward across Nigeria, while working to reduce the cost of living and expand opportunities for all.
I sincerely thank the participants, our party members, the organisers and the good people of Ebonyi State for their warm reception, enthusiasm and active participation.
A New Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK! -PO

I hope everyone listened carefully to what Peter Obi said! He made it clear that if he doesn’t win the 2027 election, he won’t be contesting for the presidency again. At 65, he cannot keep running for president indefinitely. By the next election cycle, he’ll be approaching 70, an age when he should be enjoying his retirement rather than starting another political battle.
This is why we cannot afford to take 2027 for granted. We still have a chance to change the direction of this country, and we must treat this election as if our lives depend on it, because to a large extent, they do.
If we waste this opportunity with Peter Obi, we may never get another chance like this again. Wake up, Nigerians! 2027 is our moment, and we cannot afford to get it wrong!
Be brutal, be toxic for your future
