My Stance on Road Development
There is a pertinent reason I have consistently advocated that we should refrain from initiating new road construction projects until we have thoroughly rehabilitated and maintained our existing road network. Instead of undertaking new ventures and dualization projects that offer marginal benefits, our primary focus ought to be on repairing the critical roads already in place.
Consider, for instance, the Asaba–Benin Road. This thoroughfare is a vital artery within Nigeria's transportation infrastructure. Travellers traversing from Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Rivers, Imo, Ebonyi, Cross River, Abia, Enugu, and portions of Benue and Kogi States to Lagos are compelled to utilise this route.
Despite its significance, substantial sections of this road are in a lamentable condition. It has become a major impediment, precipitating persistent traffic congestion and inflicting undue hardship on travellers, businesses, and transport operators.
Regrettably, this situation is not unique; it reflects the reality on many of our busiest national highways.
Our efforts should be directed towards the reconstruction and maintenance of our current road infrastructure before we announce plans for new road projects. The Nigerian populace requires functional and motorable roads, not merely projects that garner public attention.
Efforts aimed at superficial improvements for political gain should not supersede the urgent need to address the condition of our existing, critical roadways.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
Yesterday, Peter Obi exposed the exact playbook of Nigeria’s political operators. His message was clear: when incompetent leaders cannot compete on ideas, competence, security, or progress, they weaponize our fault lines. They deliberately trigger divisions along ethnicity, tribe, and religion. They throw out a scapegoat for the masses to tear apart, successfully hijacking the national conversation because they simply lack the capacity to deliver actual development.
We are seeing this playbook live in action right now. Following the arrest of Dennis Ifechukwu, the national narrative was instantly warped into a toxic tribal war. Notice the behaviour of the political elites who loudly celebrated and amplified the initial arrest. When the self-proclaimed investigator retracted his allegations - admitting authorities acted blindly without verifying the facts - those same elites went dead silent. There were no follow-up tweets, no apologies, and zero effort to amplify the investigator's disclaimer.
Instead, they stepped back to watch the youth tear each other apart in a tribal war of words.
A responsible leader invested in peace would have rushed to amplify the retraction. But these operators are thrilled. Why? Because nothing excites an inept government more than a change of topic. As long as the youth are blinded by tribal rage, they stop discussing insecurity, hunger, systemic failure, and the sheer incompetence of those in power. They are overjoyed that we have stopped talking about how they have dragged Nigeria back to the stone age.
Fellow Nigerians, open your eyes. This is the exact same strategy they used before the 2023 elections. Do not expect them to stop; more distractions are on the way.
We must refuse to fall for the antics of these "master strategists." Let us abandon the endless, divisive debates that lead nowhere and refocus on what is truly destroying our nation. Our children are still captive in the bush. Entire communities in Nassarawa and Kwara have deserted their homes in a country that supposedly has a government. That is the conversation we must force. Do not let them change the topic.
Emeka Ike hails from one of Peter Gregory Obi’s strongholds. He was singled out for slaughter; to make an example of. How did Lere Olayinka gain access to Emeka’s classified information?
How was he able to access the database?
Opposition must demand an immediate forensic examination of INEC’s database.
Lere Olayinka has access to INEC’s backend.
It only means that the Commission has been totally compromised. The rot is deeper than we thought. You will get to your polling unit—only to discover that the BVAS machine cannot read your card. You will discover that INEC & agents of the ruling party (have searched out your name, & deleted your INFO from the system).
Agent provocateurs will transfer your PVC registration to a different polling unit or state. A place far away from where you are supposed to vote. Peter Obi should not take this lightly!
From what we witnessed at FCT local election, INEC transferred those who voted for Obi to distant locations, far away from where they were supposed to vote. People only got to find out on the day of that local council election.
On top of that, Wike declared a curfew. He prevented people from moving around. You will be surprised that voters in certain regions & places where Obi got high number of votes are being mass deleted from the database as I speak. That way, their PVCs cannot be read.
Peter Obi’s stronghold is being tampered with. This is no longer a scaremongering, it’s a FACT! This is disenfranchisement on a grand scale.
The above are some of the many ways that Nigerians are going to be disenfranchised—worse, restricted! The inmates have taken over the asylum. Mad men are running things now.
INEC will put the lives of NYSC officials in danger. A widespread disenfranchisement like that could lead to break down of law & order.
Time to fix this is now! Tomorrow might be late! If an APC urchin can have Admin access to INEC’s backbend, then nothing is impossible!
Opposition must leave nothing to chance. We must deal with this issue NOW! Current INEC must be disbanded! Joash Amupitan must go!
Mr Peter Obi today in Abakaliki Ebonyi State.
The atmosphere was electric as the people came out in massive numbers to welcome Mr Peter Obi . The love, support, & overwhelming reception were truly unforgettable. From every corner, voices echoed hope, unity, & a New Nigeria.
WHY THE SENATE?
I have spent years calling out the problems.
Now I am seeking the platform to implement the solutions.
From the outside, I could shout.
From the inside, I can legislate.
From the outside, I could demand.
From the inside, I can enforce.
A better Abuja will not build itself. It requires constitutional power
