To @SecRubio:
PLEASE REPOST.
@PeterObi is the best candidate for president of Nigeria, but he is destined to lose to the orrupt Tinubu unless the voting system is reformed from violence and corruption to free and fair elections. Will you enact diplomacy to help? cc: @WhiteHouse

Behold the Presidential Candidate of the NDC and incoming President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Tinubu, your days are numbered.

Of course it would not be in the commercial interests of the federal government to suspend shipments on Trans Mountain (TM.)

But that’s not the point.

The point is that in a worse case scenario, such as an Alberta unilateral declaration of independence (UDI,) Canada would have enormous leverage, including the ability to block Alberta energy exports.

This is most obviously the case re: federally-owned TM. Apart from their ability to reduce or stop shipments, do you really think the federal or BC governments would continue to advance Trans Mountain optimization, which is currently the best bet that we have for increased egress?

Do you really think the federal government would maintain its MOU commitment to support the construction of a de novo West Coast pipeline? Even if it wanted to, federal paramountcy over interprovincial pipelines, grounded in 92(10)(a) would cease to exist following secession, so BC governments could find ways to block operation or construction of pipelines going through their territory, with Alberta having no recourse to Ottawa.

Currently all of our pipelines exports to the US pass through other Canadian provinces first. That includes the incomplete KXL route, which passes through Saskatchewan. Since the Republic of Alberta would be starting without an equivalent to the 1977 Canada-U.S. Transit Pipelines Treaty, Ottawa could also suspend the operation of those other pipelines, e.g. the Enbridge Mainline.

Canada and BC could also extract further concessions (eg tolls or tariffs) in order to allow Alberta natural gas to feed into the growing number of West Coast LNG terminals.

Separatists respond to these realities by saying “don’t worry - we’ll build pipelines to the US and export from there!”

First of all, who is “we?” What companies are going to risk tens of $ billions to spend years building a new system of pipelines in the midst of such massive political and legal uncertainty, including the risk of a Biden style abrogation of pipeline permits by the US?

Secondly, the separatists seem completely unaware that the left wing US West Coast governments have effectively blocked the export of carbon intensive fuels from their ports. That’s why US produced thermal coal is exported from the Port of Vancouver, BC. Strange but true: Canada’s West Coast ports are far friendlier to hydro carbon exports than West Coast US ports!

All of this (and much more) effectively gives Ottawa the clear upper hand in prospective negotiations over everything, e.g.:

-debt allocation;

- valuation & sale of federal assets (such as military bases, RCMP facilities, federal lands, including airports, etc.;)

- allocation of CPP assets;

- continuation of OAS / GIS benefits;

- termination of citizenship;

- visa and work permit exemptions for Albertans travelling to Canada;

- export access to the Canadian market;

- partition of Alberta per the predictable demands of democratic majorities in Edmonton, Calgary, Indian Reserves & elsewhere;)

- support for or blockage of Alberta’s accession to critical international bodies & treaties, like CUSMA, or IATA to allow for international flights, etc.; and

- countless other issues.

I agree that exercising its massive leverage in such a scenario would be damaging to Canada. But it would be far more damaging to Alberta.

Whatever grievances Albertans have with Ottawa cannot be remedied by becoming a landlocked statelet.

The vast majority of Albertans know this.

It is beyond absurd that we are going to spend the next several months, and possibly years to come, arguing endlessly over this.

"The condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria, informed my decision to leave ADC for NDC."

Yesterday, I formally joined the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), alongside my dear brother, Engr. Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, with one clear purpose: to continue the struggle for a new Nigeria built on justice, competence, accountability, and compassion for the ordinary Nigerian.

As I stated yesterday, this decision was not made out of anger, personal ambition, or convenience. It came after deep reflection on the present condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria from the dangerous path it is currently heading.

Over the years, I have remained steadfast in my conviction that politics should never be about individuals, positions, or personal gain. It must be about the people, especially the millions of Nigerians who today can no longer afford necessities, whose businesses are collapsing, whose children are losing hope, and whose future is becoming increasingly uncertain.

I left the ADC for the same reason I left the Labour Party: the severe, orchestrated litigation and internal crises deliberately designed to ensure that I, alongside many other notable individuals, do not effectively participate in the electoral process. I sincerely appreciate and remain deeply grateful to the Leadership of ADC for the opportunity to work together in pursuit of a better Nigeria. I am particularly grateful to ADC Chairman Senator David Mark for his exceptional Leadership. I also deeply appreciate my Leader and elder brother YE, Atiku Abubakar, as well as other respected leaders within the party.

As we join the NDC, I sincerely appeal to the Nigerian Government against the encouragement of unresolved litigations and the infusion of crises within political parties. Democracy must never become a weapon against the people. A healthy democracy thrives on strong institutions, credible alternatives, and the freedom of citizens to make choices without intimidation, manipulation, or fear. Opposition parties must not be weakened or destroyed, because when democracy loses balance, the people ultimately suffer.

Nigeria today is passing through one of the most difficult periods in its history. Poverty is rising. Hunger is widespread. Insecurity continues to threaten lives and livelihoods. Businesses are shutting down daily. Our young people are becoming discouraged, and many citizens have lost faith in the system. At a time like this, leadership must be driven not by propaganda or division, but by competence, capacity, character, and compassion.

Our decision to join the NDC is therefore not an abandonment of values, but a continuation of the same mission we have always stood for: building a Nigeria where leadership is about service, where public resources are managed responsibly, where institutions function independently, and where every Nigerian, regardless of tribe, religion, region, or social status, can live with dignity, security, and hope.

I remain committed to working with all Nigerians of goodwill across political, ethnic, and religious lines. The task before us is bigger than any individual or political party. It is about the future of our children and the survival of our dear nation.

I thank Nigerians, especially our youths and women, for remaining peaceful, resilient, and hopeful despite the enormous challenges confronting the country. I urge you not to lose faith in Nigeria. Nations do not change because people surrender to hopelessness; they change because people continue to believe, continue to sacrifice, and continue to stand for what is right.

A new Nigeria is still POssible. -PO

@DemolaRewaju @Chigozieialex Denial why must AA be in the equation even when it’s the turn of the south . Well as usual he will tear down ADC just like he did to PDP, APC etc

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

It took El-Rufai to convince AREWA to back the South. Kwankwaso understands North-South dichotomy. El-Rufai does. Only the Marathoner disagrees. He wanted power to remain in the North after Bubu’s 8 years.He calls himself a ‘Unifier,’ but he has no respect for the South.

[OKmovement @OK2027movement]

OK 2027.

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

The only party signup I did, was Labour Party.

When they moved funny, I deleted my profile.

I didn't signup for ADC - I decided not to shout up any party until I saw my Principal on the ballot.

If it is Vikings that will field my principal for 2027, I will buy red beret.

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

Where he goes, we go.
Where he stays, we stay.
This is our party, our party is him.

[Harry Da Diegot @trigottista]

Consistency na im go kee this man guyyy

You can hate him but not this constant energy 💯

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

I know this has been said several times but it needs to be said again.

Your Excellency @PeterObi,

The security team around you is too lax.

Don't underestimate the people you're up against.

Random people shouldn't be coming at body reach to you.

PLEASE BEEF UP. PLEASE.

People don’t realize how much rebellion it takes to chase your dreams in a world designed to keep you broke.

[Mark Slapinski @mark_slapinski]

If Trump invokes Article 5, Canada should round up all the Trump supporters and send them to Iran.

Seems fair.

[Agu jie egbe @obiora2006]

@Skamski @PierrePoilievre @CPC_HQ Well if these things were said 13months ago maybe he would have been a PM now but was associating himself with maple MAGA which Canadian doesn’t like. Maybe too late time will tell

[Mark Slapinski @mark_slapinski]

WOW: Mark Carney has the HIGHEST approval rating of any Canadian prime minister.

Legendary.
