The world feels tense not because problems are new, but because they’re happening everywhere at once.

Conflicts raise prices, politics divides societies, and uncertainty shapes daily life across continents. It reminds us how connected our futures really are, whether we acknowledge it or not.

Trump, having now arrived for Commissioning Flights with the Presidential Airlift Group (89th Airlift Wing) based out of Joint Base Andrews, Maryland.

2027 is Peter Obi's last shot at the presidency.

2027 is your last opportunity for Peter Obi to pull you out of poverty.

2027 is Nigeria's last chance for Peter Obi to rescue her from that structure of criminality, structure of corruption, structure of looting.

2027 is our last chance to be rescued from this worsening economy, and ravaging insecurity.

Irrespective of how the election goes, Peter obi will remain a wealthy man, a comfortable man, an accomplished man, and a fulfilled man.

The best and only opportunity to take advantage of Peter Obi's availability is this 2027, if not you will suffer. Think about your life 12 years ago, and think about it now. This is not about politics or political party. There is always a positive or negative consequence after every presidential election in Nigeria.

Those who fail to value the treasure they have because it is readily available, will eventually regret when such treasure becomes scarce and unavailable again.

Go out there, get your PVC, vote for Peter Obi and Kwankwaso (OK)
Vote for NDC, defend your votes and make sure it counts.

The Knife is in your hands, the ball is in your court. The choice is yours ✌️

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

@ruffydfire Whether this judgment stands or not, Nigerians will inevitably ask: Is this about enforcing electoral laws, or about weakening political alternatives ahead of 2027?

Perception matters in a democracy.

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.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
