Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,
After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.
You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.
It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.
In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.
I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.
You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.
If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.
Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.
I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.
My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
A better Nigeria is not built on promises alone. It is built when we participate, demand accountability, and vote for leadership with vision, competence, and integrity.
I understand that many of us are growing weary and have lost faith in the system. But we must keep believing that a better future is possible. We cannot afford to give up on our democracy or on our collective responsibility to shape the nation we desire.
Our PVC is more than a voter’s card. It is our voice, our power, and our opportunity to shape the future we all deserve.
Get your PVC. Participate. Vote. Nigeria and Delta State can be much more than they are today.

Yesterday, I had the honour of hosting my brother and partner, His Excellency Peter Obi, at my residence in Abuja.
I warmly welcomed him back from his highly productive international trip, and we engaged in frank and productive discussions on key partisan and national issues.
Our party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), remains united. As leaders, we must continue to demonstrate maturity by making the necessary sacrifices and tolerating our differences in pursuit of our shared goal.
We are resolute in this mission, and together, we shall ensure that Nigeria is OK. - RMK
It was an honor to attend the Russian National Day celebration at the Russian Embassy in Abuja.
The event brought together captains of industry, members of the diplomatic corps, government officials, and other distinguished Nigerians. It provided a valuable opportunity to engage with key stakeholders and reflect on the growing relationship between Nigeria and Russia, as well as the potential for deeper cooperation in trade, investment, education, technology, and cultural exchange.
Events such as these remind us of the importance of international partnerships and dialogue in advancing mutual prosperity and development.

I was deeply honoured to host a high-powered solidarity visit from the Igbo Elders Consultative Forum at my residence in Abuja.
The delegation was led by Dr. S. N. Okeke, Chairman of the Ohanaeze Council of Elders for the 19 States and the FCT, alongside former Governor of Enugu State, Okwesilieze Nwodo. The elders expressed strong appreciation for the growing and cordial partnership between myself and His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi under the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). They pledged their unwavering support for the Obi/Kwankwaso ticket and assured the movement of massive electoral backing across the South-East and the wider Southern region.
In my response, I thanked the delegation for their visit and for the opportunity to exchange views on the state of the nation. Reflecting on the historic North-South East political dynamics, I expressed delight at the excellent and productive relationship I continue to enjoy with HE Peter Obi. I also reaffirmed my total commitment to the OK Movement and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), emphasising our resolute determination to deliver victory for the party in the upcoming elections. - RMK
We didn’t face all manner of adversities and adversaries for 4 years to quit now!
If 4 people tweeting in a room did not give up, millions of people now standing will not give up!
We are rolling up our sleeves and putting on the boots!
The work starts NOW!!!

As the World Cup Begins Without Nigeria
As the World Cup begins today across three nations, I identify with our teeming football followers and urge them not to be despondent that Nigeria is not participating, despite the abundant talent in our land.
Our failure to participate on the global stage is not due to a deficit of talent; it is a direct consequence of a deficit in leadership, planning, and institutional support.
The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. Do not watch the World Cup with despair; rather, see it as a reminder of where Nigeria ought to be. We must move our country from being a nation of mere consumers of global entertainment to a nation of proud producers and competitors.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
I arrived back from Abuja yesterday to a warm welcome from party members, supporters, and well-wishers. I am sincerely grateful for the encouragement and confidence so many people continue to show.
What gives me hope is seeing the growing belief that Delta State can be more than it is today. I look forward to a Delta where our people are productive, where young people have meaningful and dignifying jobs, where businesses can thrive, and where our resources work for the benefit of everyone.
The journey has only just begun, and together we can build the Delta State we all deserve.

Hold on a minute, do you understand what it means for a government to staged a rescue operation after paying ransom behind closed doors.
There was a country.
Agriculture and the blue economy cannot be overemphasized. Every sector of government is important, but when our people can feed their families without worrying about the rising cost of food, we will have laid the foundation for lasting prosperity.
One of my greatest burdens for Delta State is to build a state that is self-sufficient in food production, from cassava, rice, maize, yam, tomatoes, vegetables, fish, and poultry, to the many agricultural products we currently import despite having the land and resources to produce them ourselves.
I want to see a Delta State that grows tomatoes and processes them into tomato paste, tomato puree, tomato ketchup, and canned tomatoes right here at home. I want to see a Delta State that grows cassava and produces garri, high-quality cassava flour, industrial starch, and ethanol for local use and export.
Our rivers and coastline also give us a natural advantage in fisheries, aquaculture, and the wider blue economy. By investing in farming, food processing, storage facilities, and agro-industrial hubs, we can create jobs, reduce food prices, increase state revenue, and build wealth across our communities.
A Delta State that feeds itself, processes what it produces, exports to the world, and creates opportunities for its people is not a dream. It is a commitment.

Building a Healthier Nigeria Through Stronger Healthcare Systems
As part of our desire and commitment to building a healthier Nigeria, I met with some healthcare professionals and experts in the United States on Friday, June 5, 2026. The meeting was essentially to deepen my understanding of how successful health insurance systems deliver improved healthcare, especially in the areas of primary and emergency care.
One of our key health objectives remains unchanged: to expand health insurance coverage, strengthen primary healthcare across our electoral wards, train more healthcare workers, and make quality healthcare accessible and affordable for all Nigerians.
A New Nigeria must be a healthier Nigeria.
A New Nigeria is possible. -PO
