My meeting with @PeterObi in Daura
When I arrived at Baba’s residence this morning, many dignitaries were already seated at the place reserved for the prayer session. I first went to greet Mallam Mamman Daura, then moved on to greet Atiku Abubakar, who was sitting beside him. Next was Mallam Nasir el-Rufai and then Mr. Peter Obi, who was sitting on the same chair with Mallam.
Interestingly, Mr. Obi told me something I recently posted on Twitter. I smiled and continued down the row to greet others. Moments later, @YunusaTanko didn’t realize I had already greeted his boss, so he pointed me out again. I moved closer, and Mr. Obi again offered his condolences on Baba’s passing and told me he admired my loyalty to Baba even after leaving the office.
There was no talk of politics or pictures until much later, when he was about to leave. Coincidentally, I had stepped outside to receive other visitors. We stood for a few moments. In a lighthearted tone, Mr. Obi said I should come and support him and he also mentioned how he had seen vast land for agriculture on the road coming to Daura.
To my surprise, when I posted our pictures, his supporters, the so-called “Obidients,” as usual, launched the attacks on me. Frankly, I had expected the criticism to come from within my party for taking pictures with an opposition leader. Good that my party members understand the situation and we don’t politicize everything.
I would like to even make it clear that I didn’t visit Peter Obi, he came to us and he did so out of respect for President Buhari, and there was nothing political about our brief exchange, it was purely a humane, respectful moment during a time of mourning.
With such supporters who are only experts in bullying, gatekeeping and intolerance, it is hard for Mr. Obi to build the broad coalition necessary for him to become President. His supporters are simply not enough on their own to make him President and worse still, they attack, block and harass those who might otherwise be willing to help him do so.
One of the best and bravest decisions you’ll ever make is to finally let go of the people who are bad for your spiritual and mental health. Keep your heart and soul attached to the Almighty.
Money is important, for sure. But you don’t have to be obsessed with it. The Almighty has written it for you, there is no need for you to lie, cheat, deceive, resort to fraud, abuse the rights of others just to make some extra bucks. Greed doesn’t pay.
No NIGERIAN was ever loved deeply & sincerely like HIM, it is also the reason his actions & inactions pained and hurt people so deeply, because we care. Deep down in our hearts we knew he was different we just expected so more from you. 💔
May Allah forgive you Baba Buhari🙏🏾
The most despicable kind of people are those who mock others in death.
No matter your political or religious differences, there’s a line you don’t cross.
Death doesn’t discriminate — and one day, it will come for us all
“Whoever thought that there has been some form of injustice on him we are all humans, there is no doubt I hurt some people, and I wish they would pardon me and those who think that I have hurt them, please pardon me”. – late President Muhammadu Buhari (May, 2023).

The passing away of a legend, the former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, May Allah have mercy on his soul, brought me to tears!
He was an upright man, who never missed his prayers and a very disciplined believer who served his people to the best of his ability. His name was synonymous with integrity.
He was definitely one of those who made me develop a much better perception of Nigerians as a people.
May Allah Almighty forgive your shortcomings and grant you the highest ranks of Jannah. Aameen.
May Allah Almighty make it easy for his family, friends and the nation of Nigeria.
Almighty. Protect us from displeasing You. Help those who have gone off track to get back to You. Soften their hearts so they may connect with You again. Constantly remind us that we’re dependent on You & not ourselves.
