I have exhausted my hope for Nigeria to 0.01%
Peter Obi is the emblem of that tiny hope!
AntiDrugBaron🦇 and his evil blood sucking Party... Hating APC is my job
I’m surprised nobody has brought a gender perspective to this (so I will). I’m very certain if the gender were reversed we would have seen think pieces on how men undermine women’s authority in workplaces and how it is deeply rooted in patriarchy. How dare he call a billionaire CEO by her name, Anthonia??!!!
MY ADDRESS TO MARK THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 2027 PRESIDENTIAL AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CAMPAIGNS
21 August 2026
Dear Compatriots,
Members of the Press,
Distinguished ladies and gentlemen,
Wednesday, 19 August 2026, marked the official start of the campaign period for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
There is no doubt that this is a defining moment for our democracy. This moment gives Nigerians the opportunity to assess the records, ideas, and plans of those seeking their mandate to lead their country at a time of grave uncertainty in our rapidly changing world.
I consider myself quite privileged to be one of those seeking your mandate to deal with these challenges facing our country.
I enter this contest with one firm conviction: Nigeria can work, and Nigeria must work.
Nigeria faces several serious challenges. Some of them are indeed of existential proportions.
According to the IMF, 63%, or over 140 million Nigerians, live at or below the national poverty line, while humanitarian agencies estimate that 35 million people will need food assistance during the 2026 lean season. About 3.6 million Nigerians remain internally displaced, largely because of conflict and insecurity. Each year, millions of young people enter the labour market, yet too many struggle to find productive opportunities. Weak infrastructure, unreliable power, insecurity, and the excessive cost of doing business continue to burden households and constrain enterprise.
These are more than statistics. They reflect the daily realities of Nigerian families, farmers, workers, students, and businesses.
Yet I do not believe Nigeria lacks the ability to overcome these challenges. We have the people, resources, market, talent, and enterprise. What we must do now is turn these strengths into security, productivity, and shared prosperity.
LEADERSHIP MUST DELIVER RESULTS
My successful private-sector experience, studies in institutions of repute on policy and business matters, and my service as Governor of Anambra State have shaped my understanding of public leadership. Government must manage resources responsibly, set clear priorities, and measure the outcomes of its decisions. Public office is not a reward; it is a responsibility to the people.
In Anambra, I prioritised the foundations of long-term development: education, healthcare, infrastructure, fiscal discipline, and institutional capacity. I do not present that record as perfect, but as an experience from which Nigerians can draw their own conclusions.
Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso brings a different but complementary governing experience.
As Governor of Kano State, he focused strongly on education, technical training, scholarships, infrastructure, and human-capital development. His administration’s investments in education and skills showed an understanding that the people are a state’s most important long-term resource.
Our experiences are different, but our conclusion is the same: Nigeria must invest in its people and manage public resources with discipline.
BUILDING AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS
Nigeria needs more than reactive reforms. We must focus on the questions that matter:
Are Nigerians better off than they were four years ago? Can they afford food, education, and healthcare? Can businesses produce, expand, and create jobs? Can young people find productive work? Can farmers work safely and get their produce to market?
Atiku's promise to return subsidy is reason nt to vote for him.
The flaw in Tinubu's plan is not auditing the entire process and doing a phased implementation.
Your campaign should tell me that your target is 35-45% drop within the first 9months of your admin. Along the line you expose the corruption of PCNGi and show the template of India+what APC is not executing properly
The key thing on ground in the subsidy argument is big investment in CNG and funding for transporters so that fares can significantly drop(not stabilise but drop)
Ibadan to Jalingo is 44,000
Lagos to Portharcourt is 42,000
Sokoto to Portharcourt is almost 52,000
If Peter Obi joins Atiku to say that he'll reintroduce petrol subsidy, I'll just cancel all my voting plans.
You mean you guys don't have enough sense on how to use solid messaging to weaken the rubbish Tinubu is doing? Reintroducing subsidy is your idea? Atiku ma go gan O
“I didn’t go to National TV to please the government; I only went there to tell the truth. I don’t have to respond to those att@cking me on social media because other Nigerians have spoken on my behalf.”
~ Cardinal John Onaiyekan
Today marks the official nationwide kickoff of the presidential campaign for all political parties.
For Peter Obi, the ask is simple: give him four years, not eight. His ambition is not about clinging to power for eight years. It is about using four years to lay the foundation for a New Nigeria strong enough to outlive any one administration.
Four years of discipline, competence, accountability and purposeful leadership can change the direction of our country.
Today, the journey to laying the foundation for a New Nigeria begins.

And to think the false news was also posted by @OlayinkaLere . This Egbon just doesn't act his age at all. All for what? Because he wants to position himself as Yoruba ronu advocate. Egbon, grow up!
