When I become President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria:
@JAMBHQ will be abolished. Admission into tertiary institutions should be determined by the institutions themselves under a transparent, merit-based system, not by another layer of bureaucracy.
The National Youth Service Corps @nysc_ng , in its current form, will be scrapped. In its place, we will establish a two-year, voluntary National Job Corps that guarantees participants meaningful employment, practical skills, entrepreneurship support, and pathways into permanent careers.
Nigeria's young people do not need more compulsory schemes. They need opportunities, jobs, skills, and the freedom to choose their future.
These newly surfaced clips of my interactions with Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola are yet another reminder that my commitment to the struggle for justice, democracy, and the liberation of Nigeria did not begin today. Long before many of those now occupying positions of power found their voices, I was already on the frontlines of the June 12 struggle, standing with Nigerians against military dictatorship and demanding that the people’s mandate be respected.
The irony is striking: many of the opportunists, enablers, and pretenders who either opposed, ignored, or later hijacked that democratic struggle are now in positions of authority and seek to suppress those who remained faithful to its ideals. They may wield state power today, but history has shown repeatedly that repression cannot extinguish a just cause.
These clips are not merely historical artifacts; they are evidence of consistency. They show a young activist standing with the democratic movement when it was dangerous to do so, and they connect directly to the same principles that continue to guide the struggle today.
Those who now deploy the machinery of the state against dissent should remember that every generation produces its oppressors and its resisters. The oppressors enjoy temporary power; the resisters ultimately inherit history.
They will be defeated. The cause of justice endures. The struggle continues. #TakeItBack #Sowore2027 #SoworeForPresident
Rufai: Security, If you were the Commander in Chief, what would you do about our kid being in the bush, and how would you do it?
Peter Obi: I will not tell you.
Rufai: Why? But Nigerians need to know.
Peter Obi: Nigerians are not asking that. It's people who don't know what to do. Commitment, I fought criminality in Anambra State. You must show commitment.
When you hear "Ekee agba égbè" (a pet name they usually call an Igbo daughter), have you seen it happen before? 😁🤭
Yes, that's me!
When I did traditional marriage, my dad gbapụrụ m ọnụ égbè iri. Azin 10 gun powder.
What does it really mean in Igbo land?
