Peter Obi speaks to BBC Hausa.

Our Northern influencers should spread this message

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

Our stand is still resolute.

Peter Obi is coming.

In our lifetime, we will feel what it is like to be governed by an actual human being that's not a thief.

Yes, Obi is our saviour.

Yes, Obi is a saint.

Saint Obi for 2027 ~ Nigeria will be OK. ✌🏾

My thoughts and prayers are with the Nigerian Air Force.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the crash involving a Nigerian Air Force aircraft.

I offer my sincere condolences to the Nigerian Air Force, the families of the officers and personnel who perished, and their colleagues and loved ones during this difficult time.

These courageous men and women devote their lives to defending our nation and safeguarding our people. Their service and sacrifice must never be overlooked.

I pray that God grants eternal rest to those who have departed, consolation to their families, and strength to the Nigerian Air Force and the entire Armed Forces of Nigeria.

May God continue to watch over all who serve our country and protect them as they carry out their duties. -PO

Did you notice that PO's speech is more inspiring & reassuring than failed Tulumbu's speech ... that's how revolution starts ... Nigeria must be OK!

As Premium Times has gone to this length to investigate Obi’s certificate, can they also do the same for other presidential candidates?

Can they also call the primary and secondary schools attended by other presidential candidates?

If Peter Obi becomes president, he won't steal and people in his cabinet won't steal. The president's body language matters, even though I don't support him

Nigeria at 66: Looking Back, Looking Forward

Fellow Nigerians,

Today we mark the sixty-sixth anniversary of our independence. It ought to be a day of celebration and thanksgiving to God Almighty for the gift of life and for the immense blessings He has bestowed on our nation—our diversity, our abundant human and natural resources, our vast agricultural potential, and the relative absence of devastating natural disasters.

It should also be a day of appreciation and patriotism: a day to remember our founding fathers and all those who made selfless, and in many cases supreme, sacrifices for the birth, survival and growth of our dear nation. We must acknowledge the efforts of past and present leaders who have laboured, however imperfectly, to build a better Nigeria.

Yet independence anniversaries must never be reduced to mere celebration. They are moments for honest national reflection. We must look back, examine where we stand today, and ask ourselves whether we are moving in the direction our founding fathers envisioned.

In national planning and strategy, every serious nation must continually ask three fundamental questions:

Where are we today?
Where do we want to be?
How do we get from where we are to where we want to be?

These questions are especially urgent now. Despite the enormous promises made by the APC-led government in 2023, our nation continues to face deepening challenges across virtually every critical sector of national life.

Today we stand before the world as a nation:

With an extraordinarily large population living in poverty and severe hardship; over 140M

With one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world; over 18M

Where insecurity, terrorism, banditry and kidnapping continue to threaten lives and livelihoods, just recently 37 young Nigerians in their productive age lost their lives

Where millions of Nigerians struggle with hunger and food insecurity; over 40M Nigerians will be in extreme hunger by the end of 2026.

With unacceptably high rates of infant and maternal mortality; Nigeria today is the worst place to be born.

Where youth unemployment and underemployment remain alarmingly high; over 35M

Where drug abuse and substance misuse increasingly threaten our young population; today 14% as against global average of 6%

Where life expectancy remains among the lowest globally, today 54 years against global average of 74 years

And the list goes on.

This reality demands serious, sober and honest reflection. Socrates taught that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” By the same principle, an unexamined nation cannot successfully chart its future. We must therefore ask ourselves: Are we cursed, or have we become the curse through the choices we have made and the failures we have tolerated?

The answer cannot be that Nigeria is cursed. We are a nation immensely endowed and blessed. Our greatest problem is not a lack of resources; it is the failure to convert our enormous resources into human development, productivity, security and shared prosperity.

Only yesterday, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and I returned from a two-day visit to Sokoto State. We held extensive consultations with people from different parts of the state on insecurity, out-of-school children, poverty, youth unemployment, drug abuse and other challenges confronting our people.

In concluding the visit, we went to the Internally Displaced Persons camp at Ramin Kura within Sokoto metropolis. What we saw was deeply troubling. Thousands of women and children live in deplorable conditions, displaced from their homes and deprived of the basic necessities of life. Many of the children have no access to education. Mothers and children have limited access to basic healthcare. These are Nigerians who should be living in their communities, going to school, farming their land, conducting their businesses and contributing to the economy. Instead, they live as displaced persons in their own country.

You’re a political analyst and a neutral, but it’s only Peter Obi that you “analyze” and criticize. 😂🫵

IN CONCLUSION OF MY VISIT TO SOKOTO STATE

Yesterday, 29th September, in continuation of my two-day visit to Sokoto State, I had extensive consultations and discussions with various groups from across the state on insecurity, out-of-school children, endemic poverty, youth unemployment, drug prevalence, and other issues affecting our people in this part of the country.

My final engagement was a visit to the Ramin Kura IDP Camp in Sokoto North LGA, within the Sokoto metropolis, which is currently housing over 1,000 internally displaced persons.

During my tour of the facility, I found it particularly distressing to see Nigerians crammed into makeshift shelters and thatched rooms, with some rooms housing as many as 10 persons. The camp also lacks adequate toilet facilities, a primary healthcare centre, and even a basic school for the children.

I have always insisted that as long as even one Nigerian lives in an IDP camp, we are all internally displaced. Therefore, the government of today must work assiduously to make the temporary accommodation for our dear citizens living in these camps comfortable, while ensuring that all the underlying security issues that created these conditions in the first place are resolved, to enable them to return to their ancestral homes.

This is my 12th visit to IDP camps across Nigeria, and, just like in the others, I am committing to continuously supporting these Nigerians for as long as it takes.

This is why I continue to say that the President’s and political office holders’ holidays must be within Nigeria, so that they can see first-hand the difficulties faced by these fellow Nigerians, whose vulnerability has been worsened by the failure of government to prioritise critical areas of development.

Let me seize this opportunity to again call on the government and the relevant agencies to immediately look into the plight of these citizens and address their pressing needs.

A New Nigeria is POssible and will be OK.

[Everest @novieverest]

The system is punishing you.
Peter Obi is fighting the system.
But you, who are a victim, are fighting Peter Obi.

Are not normal?

[PO’s MainChic😎 @D_goodybag]

Ameachi had a little traction as a presidential aspirant.

But, as Atiku got the ticket, they all moved to Obi.

Ameachi is currently ashamed to tell people he is coming as Vice.

Rivers people will not vote that expired package.

We Will Vote Peter Obi!!!

We Are Voting NDC!!!

[Abiodun @bin_gbada]

Soludo has called Peter Obi several names through the Anambra new media page.

He has even asked Peter Obi to stop pursuing his presidential ambitions

Guess what he hasn’t done? He hasn’t posted a detailed account history of the how the funds left in the Anambra State First Bank’s Ecological Funds was spent after Peter Obi.

That should tell you everything!!

[Everest @novieverest]

Soludo's wife said Peter Obi isn't a godparent to her child. She said Margaret Obi is the godmother, but Peter Obi isn't.

Omo!!!!
Be like Ozonna na the only wise one I don see so far.
😭😭😭😭

[UG @UgwunnaEjikem]

Get your PVC.
Vote Peter Obi.

3yrs of Bola Tinubu presidency was just about Peter Obi discussions.

Where Is Nigeria’s President?

The dynamic President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, delivered a remarkable address at the 81st United Nations General Assembly. The international community has commended his leadership and the substance of his address. It is a reminder of what leadership can produce when competence, capacity, compassion, commitment and character come together in the service of a nation.

Against this background, many are asking: Where is the President of Africa’s most populous nation, a country of more than 200 million people - more than Ghana - whose leader has been absent from the global stage for three consecutive UNGAs?

Nigeria’s President, who ought to be representing the country and providing leadership for Africa at the international level, has not attended any of these three global gatherings. Where is he, particularly at a time when the country faces significant challenges, both domestically and internationally?

Although our Vice President, Kashim Shettima, was present, the question remains: Where is the President? Let us continue to pray for his return and for his leadership in addressing the many challenges confronting the nation.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Peter Obi left 36 Billion naira and 150 million dollars in the Anambra state govt's accounts, that's almost 60 billion naira 🔥

Love him or hate him, one thing is crystal clear: He's not a thief!

Can't say the same for your candidate.
