Yesterday, May 19th, in Abuja, I attended the Presidential screening organised by our party, which took over two and a half hours. They carefully reviewed all my documents, including my degree certificates, NYSC credentials, and age declarations.
During the process, I also addressed questions regarding my vision for a new Nigeria and the type of leadership our nation urgently needs right now. Following this, I was cleared and received the presidential nomination form I had previously paid for.
I would like to commend the screening committee, led by former governor Sam Egwu, for their thorough and professional approach. Additionally, I appreciate our party's leadership for upholding the democratic process.

A Unified Message to All As you are all now aware, His Excellency Peter Obi is going to be our new presidential candidate and the face of this movement. We call on everyone to vigorously market and promote our candidate with honour and facts. We will not attack or abuse any other candidate, and we expect the same courtesy in return. If you abuse Peter Obi or attempt to tarnish his character, be ready we will respond accordingly. We prefer peace, but if it is a fight you bring, we are more than ready to meet it. To my dear Northern brothers and sisters: Do not come to my page with religious or tribal attacks. They will not work here i won't tolerate it. We who support this movement believe Nigeria belongs to everyone Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Christian, Muslim, and all others. Our strength lies in our unity, not in division. The unity of our nation is what we dream of and will continue to fight for. My reasons for supporting Peter Obi are clear: his outstanding track record as Governor of Anambra State and the positive plans he has for my region the Northern Nigeria. No one can stop or intimidate us. As true Kwankwasiyya, we do not fear challenges we welcome them as opportunities to prove our determination and strength.Peter Obi and Kwankwaso represent our new project for a New Nigeria. We will take this message to the markets, homes, chambers, streets, and every corner of this country. We will campaign with passion and sell this vision to our people. To all supporters of this movement: This is our moment to show Nigerians that love, respect, and unity can be stronger than religion or tribe. Let us promote this movement across every platform and every community. Let us grow together as one.
One Nigeria Must Be OK.
Fellow Nigerians, good morning.
I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.
Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.
We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.
More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.
We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.
Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.
Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.
Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.
And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.
There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?
Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

Daniel Bwala & other spin doctors were roasted beyond recognition. But who advised them to appear before Mehdi Hasan? The atmosphere was hectic & sorry. I can’t watch it alone. 😂
This is the best edited video about the Daniel Bwala shameful interview.
Wheoever edited this video needs to be compensated.
Daniel Bwala is the most shameless human alongside Reno Omokri.
Do you know what's more painful about Ochanya's predicament?
She was doing so well in the village school. She said she wanted to be a medical doctor when she grows up.
Winifred's mum returned to the village one Christmas.
Decided to take Ochanya to the City to get good education since she was sound and intelligent.
And that was the end of her dreams, her ambition, and her life.
Winifred's dad and brother raped her for five years till she d!ed.
Guess what!
The rapists children are doing so well in life.
Winifred is now a lawyer and a social media influencer.
Victor is doing so well in his musical career, and he's about to release a track.
Ihotu, the rapist's last born who was in the same class with Ochanya just got admission to Benue State University.
Ochanya would have been 20years now, and probably in her 100level studying her dream course, Medicine and Surgery in Benue State University.
But she was used as the sacrificial lamb.
Can I tell you something?
Ochanya has come back to demand for justice.
This time around, with you, I and millions of Nigerians solidly behind her shouting for justice.
This time around, we will not allow the case to be swept under the carpet like it was in 2018.
Until justice prevails, we remain Ochanya's voice.
Remember, silence in the face of injustice is INJUSTICE—and evil.
#JusticeforOchanya
Happy 64th birthday to my brother and friend, His Excellency Mr. Peter Gregory Obi, CON🎂🎉💐
Today, we celebrate not just a birthday, but a life that has consistently echoed the values of compassion, integrity, and progress. Mr. Peter Obi has proven time and again that leadership is not just about power but service. His enduring commitment to nation-building and humanitarian causes continues to inspire and uplift many lives.
From classrooms to boardrooms, communities to hospitals, his influence is felt in every space where equity and growth are sought. His example reminds us that true leadership is not just spoken but lived. And in every stride, Mr. Obi has shown that he is who he says he is.
We continue to learn from his discipline, humility, and relentless pursuit of a better society. Through him, we see what it means to lead with heart and serve with vision.
This is wishing you more fruitful years in good health, wisdom, and God’s endless blessings.
Congratulations, Okwute! 🫶
It's obvious that the biggest business for blackmailers now is talking about Peter Obi from every negative perspective. Even my solemn spiritual trip to Rome has been twisted into yet another blackmail campaign by merchants paid ostensibly to propagate anything negative against Obi.
One such individual, whose entire life revolves around blackmail, falsely claimed that I went to Rome to have a private meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu regarding a purported ₦225 billion debt crisis involving Fidelity Bank. These claims are not only baseless, malicious, but entirely false.
Let me categorically state that I have never sought an audience with, nor met, President Tinubu since he assumed office, except about 1 minute meeting at the arena of Saint Peter’s Basilica Rome during the inauguration Mass of Pope Leo XIV, where I was seated behind, and had to respectfully greet him, and other dignitaries present.
I was previously in Rome on the 9th of May for the lying in state of Pope Francis. Immediately after the mass and exchanging pleasantries, I went straight from Vatican City to London, and then back to Nigeria.
The self-proclaimed "blackmailer-in-chief" and others who thrive on spreading pain and falsehoods have also claimed that I own Fidelity Bank. For the record, I do not. Throughout my career, I have served as Chairman/Director of 3 banks/Financial institutions, of which Fidelity is one of them. Fidelity has over 500,000 shareholders, none of whom hold a majority stake. What this blackmailer seeks is to harm these hard-working Nigerians and cause them needless distress.
To those peddling these falsehoods, and engaging in blackmail, I offer a simple prayer: May God grant you the virtues of gratitude and understanding to know that we came here with nothing and will go with nothing, that they cannot profit from their evil ways.
A new Nigeria is POssible.

MY PRAYER FOR YOU:
1. May God connect you with people who speak your love language.
2. May God connect you with people who can mobilize your dreams.
3. May God connect you with people who have the money to write the cheque.
4. May God connect you with people who are not intimidated but inspired!
5. May God keep you away from people who are petty, messy, trifling, ungrateful, sneaky, undermining, disrespectful, selfish, have hidden agendas and impure motives.
Have I really crossed the line?
I ask the question because my New Year message has now led to threats against my life, my family, and those around me. While I have received all sorts of messages, one Mr. Felix Morka has gone further to accuse me of "crossing the line" and has warned that I will face the consequences.
I find it necessary to share this message again and urge everyone who has not seen it to watch:
https://t.co/f26UDjdT7Z
If I have truly crossed the line, I invite anyone to point it out, as I remain committed to upholding decorum. However, I will not be silenced in my resolve to speak truthfully, especially as our nation continues to drift toward undemocratic practices.
We are increasingly transforming into an authoritarian and repressive regime, where freedom of expression is being systematically suppressed.
May God help us create a better and freer society for the sake of our children. -PO
