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?
In countries like the US & Canada (as examples), a responsible 20 year old man can decide that he wants to marry a wife and have children.
Why?
Because he's not going to send his kids to private schools and the government will pay him some money for even having kids.
And his kids are largely safe.
Even if he becomes irresponsible, the government will take his kids away from him and make sure that they do not become miscreants to the society.
When he's 40, his first child is already in the university.
Here in Nigeria, you're almost 40 and afraid to marry a wife and raise children.
As valid as your fears are, you'll surely not escape the consequences of marrying a wife without proper financial plans or backing.
And the government doesn't give a fuck about you.
End.
THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS YOU MUST ASK THE BOOTH PRESIDING OFFICER BEFORE VOTING STARTS ON THE DAY OF ELECTION. THESE QUESTIONS MAKES ELECTION FREE CREDIBLE AND TRANSPARENT. A LESSON TO LEARN
Only a comedian like Tinubu can make Peter Obi laugh this hard. ....
"Nobody renews failure....even the Tinubu supporters are now joining us to deliver this country because they've seen that Tinubu is not taking us anywhere."
I've never seen Peter Obi laugh this hard 😂😂😂😂
H.E Peter Obi.
No public office blemish, no corrupt cases, no shady pasts - walks the talk & has proven that there's an upright way to do politics.
You're the man we say you are & thrice the man you think you are.
In my lifetime, you will be president and THAT IS NEXT YEAR.
Peter Obi live in Edo state today for a funeral. The crowed is unprecedented, the land is happy and O.K. there is joy in the land and the youths are mounting guard for him.
Broooooooo!!!!! Obi runs the streets of Nigeria. Man is like garri. No advert but people love it. People must buy it. People must find it, People want it.
Obi Garri.
There is serious crying over Peter Obi's yesterday's speech. On your mandate we stand in the mud 😂😂
Obi is the only Nigerian politician alive who have the guts to remove immunity clause for all government officials, including the president. He is the only one who can sign into law death sentence for corruption and looting, especially amongst public office holders if caught.
Integrity want to kill obi. Too much Integrity. So much Integrity. Over Integrity. Mr Integrity. Integrity
personified.
