I have consistently continued to respectfully appeal to those in office today to prioritise reconstruction and maintenance of existing roads and other infrastructure over commencing new ones.

I left someone in Onitsha on Saturday night to take the first bus to Lagos on Sunday morning. Until I left Lagos at 8 pm yesterday, he had not arrived in Lagos. He only arrived in Lagos at about 2 pm today. A journey that usually takes a maximum of 8 hours now takes nearly two days.

This is not just about bad roads. It is about lost man-hours, stranded passengers sleeping on highways, wasted fuel, damaged vehicles, delayed goods, and businesses losing millions of naira.

Nigerians do not need new projects just for the headlines. We need functional roads that make life and economic activity possible.

A government must understand that infrastructure is not necessarily about the size of the project; it is about the number of lives and livelihoods it improves.

A new Nigeria is POSSIBLE, and Nigeria will be OK. -PO

Meet SoBliss, the amazing 17-year-old young talent and winner of the Nigeria Democratic Congress - Rivers State (NDC), Campaign Song Contest.

Congratulations to her once again!

The confidence she displayed when she stepped onto the stage, coupled with her powerful delivery, was truly breathtaking. She owned the stage and delivered with such poise and maturity. Absolutely impressive I must say!

Why is nobody talking about this guy? He supervised the glitch that happened in 2023 and is still in charge of the ICT department to this day. If there is going to be any compromise, this is the man who would carry it out.

A MINUTE OF SILENCE FOR A HERO: GOV. OTTI HONORS A LIFE SACRIFICED FOR NIGERIA 60 YEARS ON - MAJOR-GENERAL J.T.U. AGUIYI-IRONSI (1966–2026).

There are men whose lives become inseparable from the destiny of their nation. Their names transcend tribe, religion and politics, becoming permanent inscriptions on the pages of history. Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi belongs to that rare company.

Sixty years after his tragic death, Abia State, under a leader who honours service and sacrifice, pauses to remember and pay tribute to her illustrious son: Nigeria’s first indigenous Major-General and Military Head of State. He was a soldier whose career embodied discipline, courage, honour and sacrifice. His story is not merely the story of an Igbo son from Umuahia; it is the story of a Nigerian patriot whose life became entwined with the hopes and tragedies of a young nation struggling to define itself.

Born on March 3, 1924, in Umuahia, in present-day Abia State, J.T.U. Aguiyi-Ironsi came of age during the colonial era. Like many ambitious young Africans of his generation, he enlisted in the Royal West African Frontier Force during the Second World War.

From the beginning, his superiors recognized uncommon qualities in him: discipline, intelligence, courage and exceptional leadership. Those qualities earned him selection for officer training in the United Kingdom.

In 1949, he was commissioned as one of the earliest Nigerian officers in the Nigerian Army, at a time when senior command was still largely in foreign hands. It marked the beginning of a distinguished career that would inspire generations of Nigerian officers.

General Ironsi’s brilliance extended beyond the battlefield. He served as Military Attaché in London, representing Nigeria with dignity and professionalism. During the historic visit of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to Nigeria in 1956, he served as Aide-de-Camp, an honour reserved for officers of impeccable conduct and outstanding ability.

He later commanded troops in Enugu, where his reputation as a disciplined and dependable officer continued to grow.

His finest international assignment came during the United Nations Peacekeeping Mission in the Congo in the 1960s. Commanding multinational forces in one of Africa’s most turbulent conflicts, Aguiyi-Ironsi demonstrated calmness under pressure, professional competence and remarkable leadership. His performance earned Nigeria international respect and confirmed his place among Africa’s finest military commanders.

In 1965, history was made when Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi became Nigeria’s first indigenous Major-General and General Officer Commanding the Nigerian Army. It was a milestone that symbolized the emergence of African leadership in the highest ranks of the military.

Only months later, history summoned him again. The political crisis that followed the coup of January 15, 1966, plunged Nigeria into uncertainty. Although he did not organize or participate in that coup, the collapse of constitutional government left him, as the most senior surviving military officer, with the burden of preserving the nation. He accepted that burden not as a conqueror, but as a soldier called upon by history.

He inherited not peace, but crisis.
Not stability, but confusion. Not celebration, but national mourning. He governed a nation deeply wounded by suspicion and grief. Historians continue to debate aspects of his brief administration, but none can deny the enormous challenges confronting him.

Then came July 29, 1966. A counter-coup erupted and the nation descended further into darkness.

In Ibadan, where General Aguiyi-Ironsi was on official duty, destiny caught up with him. History records that he was taken away together with his host, Lieutenant Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi, the Military Governor of the Western Region.

Fajuyi was reportedly offered the opportunity to save himself. He refused. With that decision, he immortalized himself as

Am an Igbo man from Rivers state, Rivers is Igbo. Everybody in present day Rivers were all part of Aro Confederacy except Ogonis. We are Igbos, you cant tell me that am not an Igbo man. Igweocha was renamed Portharcut just in 1913. I can not deny my heritage.

Voter Registration: The First Step in the Journey to a New Nigeria

Yesterday, while passing through Waru Wazobia in Abuja, I made a chance stop to interact with our people. I seized the opportunity to encourage them, especially our youths and women, to take advantage of the ongoing voter registration exercise.

The power to change Nigeria does not begin on Election Day; it begins with voter registration. Registering to vote is not just a civic responsibility; it is an investment in the future we all desire.

I urge every eligible Nigerian who has not yet registered to do so without delay. Those who already have their voter cards should encourage their family members, friends, neighbours, and colleagues to register as well.

A new Nigeria will not happen through wishful thinking. It will be built by citizens who participate, who believe, and who act. Let us continue to choose hope over despair, participation over apathy, and nation-building over division.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
