DISCLAIMER: Fake Letter Circulating in My Name

My attention has been drawn to a fake letter circulating on social media, purportedly written by me to His Majesty, Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Ugochukwu Achebe, the Obi of Onitsha, concerning political and financial matters in Anambra State.

This document is entirely false, malicious, and a fabrication by mischievous elements aimed at misleading the public. Furthermore, the signature appended to the letter is completely forged. 

I urge the public and media to disregard this spurious publication. My focus remains steadfastly on issues of national development, accountability, and building a better future for our people - never on cheap fabrications. -PO

[Biggest Mack @Big_Mck]

They see some, but are shielded from a lot of it. The ones that do make it to their table are interpreted differently by their handlers who assure them that there is nothing to worry about.

It would have been different if can vote them out. But you can't vote out someone you did not vote in. That's what it means for your presidency to be controlled by external entities.

And that part you mentioned fixing Nigeria if elected. Well, if you genuinely mean that, then I hate to inform you that's precisely why you will never be elected president until the current puppeteers are sacked. The powers in control of Nigeria atm do not want it fixed.

I hope this clears it up for you.

Our National Tragedies are Resources for National Transformation

I have received many calls and text messages from patriotic Nigerians who were annoyed that an Arise News anchor wanted me to answer questions about the 1966 coups, which were national tragedies. I reassured those patriots that, as a presidential candidate, I am ready and able to answer any questions about anything relating to Nigeria. I have a commitment to serve the people, not to hide from them.

As I travel across Nigeria and listen to Nigerians of all ethnic and religious identities, I have had opportunities to reflect on the many tragedies we have experienced in Nigeria, including the 1966 coups, the civil war, and the various mass violence that have plagued different parts of the country.

My view is that we could have avoided these tragedies if we had entrenched and implemented laws justly. These tragedies are the result of leadership failure. It is our responsibility to understand these failures and fix them.
The failure of leadership to guarantee all its citizens equal rights and freedoms, and to enforce the fundamental rights in the constitution without fear or favour.
We must focus on learning from our past. Mistakes in history are not fatal. They can become opportunities for transformation.

This happened in Japan. The Japanese miracle that took place between 1920 and 1970 was a product of patriotic leaders who used the Japanese trauma of colonial rule to drive miraculous economic development. South Korea followed Japan by weaponising cruel experiences under Japan to develop a policy framework of a developmental state, and became an economic giant under the inspiration of General Park from 1960. The same applies to China under Deng Xiaoping, who reinvented China from the tragedies of Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution and the many deaths of that ill-fated policy. Today, China is the second-largest economy in the world. What a transformation. That is our vision. That should also be our history.

For me, my responsibility as Nigerian President is to turn the pains and tragedies of the past into opportunities to make Nigeria united, stable, and prosperous.
We need a leadership that is not trapped in the past, a leadership that focuses on what binds us together rather than what divides us. At this point, we need a leader who believes in the destiny and future of Nigeria, a leader who publicly proclaims that all parts of Nigeria abound in human and natural resources, and that all parts of Nigeria can become productive and prosperous.

The difference in human history is having leaders who do not maximise those pasts for selfish ambition but leverage them to build a prosperous future for all.
Even in Africa, we can learn from Rwanda on how a recent terrible experience is being used to advance national unity and prosperity. We can do the same for Nigeria.

I am ready to speak about what the voters consider important. I am ready to comfort and console. I am ready to lead from the front as we work to turn away from the ugly past and into a future where no Nigerian will suffer on account of his or her ethnicity, religion, or social pedigree. Our past is important, but our past is not our destiny. Our future is what we do with our past. Our past is our resource for national transformation. We are ready to transform Nigeria.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

How Hired Thugs Obstructed My Visit to Benue State

Yesterday, I attended the opening of the national campaign office of an opposition presidential candidate, Governor Seyi Makinde in Abuja. My presence was intended to demonstrate that politics can and should be conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect and civility. As Governor of Anambra State, I made it a point during electioneering to welcome visiting opposition members personally, provided they acted within the ambits of the law.

Guided by that same commitment to decency over partisanship, I travelled to Benue this morning, arriving at approximately 9:00 a.m. on a purely humanitarian mission: to visit the grieving families affected by the horrific killings in Yelwata, where over 270 people were massacred.

Regrettably, our convoy was prevented from proceeding to the community by thugs chanting, “Peter Obi, go back.” It was deeply distressing to witness such hostility. I came to Benue not for partisan politics, but to mourn with our people, to listen to families who have lost loved ones, and to offer comfort at a moment of unimaginable sorrow. That a mission intended purely to show solidarity, compassion, and support could be obstructed in this manner is deeply alarming.

At a time when our nation should be united in grief and resolute in preventing further bloodshed, we must reject any action capable of deepening our divisions. The people of Benue - and all Nigerians - deserve to sleep without fear. They deserve to travel without fear. They deserve to cultivate their land without fear. Above all, they deserve a country where the state places the protection of human life far above political expediency.

Although we were unable to reach the community today, our thoughts and prayers remain steadfastly with the victims, their families, and the entire Yelwata community. We shall continue to work until the primary responsibility of government - the safeguarding of every Nigerian life - is restored. Until then, we cannot truly say we have built the nation our people deserve.

"Nigeria is a shithole", but your supposed non-shithole country was a beneficiary of Nigeria taking all the bullets meant for it in the 70s and 80s, otherwise it might still be called "Upper Nyasaland" with cities named "Salisbury" and "Leopoldville", and you would still need written permission to leave your designated "Bantu reserve area" and travel to other parts of your country.

At least 3 Nigerian presidents have been murdered in office for protecting African interests, including one whose assassination was personally ordered by Henry Kissinger for leading an anti-apartheid vote at the AU against US instructions just 30 days before he was shot.

Name another country on the planet where 4 different presidents have been killed in office since 1966, and each of these assassinations was a foreign-driven operation. Nearly all of the limited freedom from direct colonialism that most Africans have today is a barge floating on a river of Nigerian blood - apart from DR Congo, which is nearly 3x bigger than Nigeria, no country on this continent has lost more people to foreign-backed wars and insurgencies.

Many of you have gotten way too comfortable casually disrespecting Nigeria because you are not aware of the terrible price it has paid to give you the limited freedom that you have. If Nigeria had spent all those decades acting like Kenya and collaborating with your enslavers, by now you would be in your Bantu reserve with no internet access reading smuggled magazines with photos of Lagos and Abuja, and it would look like a different world to the one around you.

Nigeria will not remain in its current debased state indefinitely. It will surely rise again and when it does, a lot of this casual disrespect towards Nigeria and Nigerians will be revisited. You will explain precisely what you mean by "Nigeria is a shithole" all the way from Mpumalanga.

Nobody is asking for any grace or help from you (which will never come anyway). You're just being notified.

There'll be more Buharis, Tinubus and Atikus if we don't throwaway this western designed trap we call democracy. It won't change our downward trajectory, even if Peter Obi wins come January, and that's a big "if."

@DavidHundeyin When your president is an asset to another government, what do you expect? Respect? Or equity? No way.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Yesterday Saturday 15th August morning, I visited Grimard College of Nursing Sciences, Ayingba in Dekina LGA of Kogi State. A few years ago, the institution faced a threat to its accreditation due to the lack of a bus for student clinical placements.

It gives me great satisfaction to note that, thanks to my intervention and the subsequent provision of a school bus, the school has successfully retained its accreditation and continues to play a vital role in educating nurses and other healthcare professionals.

My visit today was a continuation of this commitment. I contributed ₦10 million towards establishing a Skills Laboratory Centre for the school.

I reaffirmed my ongoing support to the institution’s management, staff, and students. Specifically, I urged the students to dedicate themselves to their studies. A career in nursing offers extensive opportunities and equips individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to excel and make significant contributions globally.

Every nation striving for sustainable development and an improved quality of life for its citizens must deliberately invest in two crucial sectors: education and healthcare. These are not areas to be overlooked. Governments have a responsibility to prioritise them, and it is equally important for conscientious individuals and organisations to support these efforts.

A renewed Nigeria is achievable. -PO

Content Monetization and The Hijack of Africa's Digital Space

The digital gold rush in Africa is a deliberate structural trap. By incentivizing sensationalism over substance, global platforms have effectively co-opted the creative energy of a generation, steering millions away from the urgent work of reclaiming sovereign narrative and towards a cycle of 'engagement' that hollows out our intellectual discourse.

The Spearhead’s @Big_Mck reports that real digital independence starts with the courage to choose quality over clicks; a challenge that demands a deliberate commitment from every viewer to amplify rather than just consume.

[Obiasogu David @afrisagacity]

Every African should see this video of a bilateral discussion between President Emmanuel Macron of France and representatives from Burkina Faso.

No one has made me happier for and prouder of Africa than the ladies in the video. Ibrahim Traoré has the best brains around him.✍️

[Obiasogu David @afrisagacity]

The quoted video helped me understand this new interview with Burkina Faso President, Ibrahim Traoré, where he was asked about “60% of the country being under terrorist control.”

His response was smart and profound. It showed that not only is he self-aware and literate, but he also has a good team.✍️

Peller’s Wedding Guests: Foreign Espionage And African Entertainment

When influencers and "foreign guests" collide, as is the case here, we are not watching a wedding but a social engineering operation

It is very clear here that the rise of our internet sensations is often engineered. When foreign money starts flowing into our digital spaces, it is time to start asking who is really behind the screen and what they’re buying with those "gifts." It’s time for Africans to stop being spectators to our own subversion.

Honouring Two Extraordinary Nigerians: Charly Boy and Newton Jibunoh

Yesterday, July 31, I attended the launch of 999: The Memoir of Charly Boy in Lagos.

Charly Boy is one of those people many may easily dismiss because of his appearance or the public persona he projects. But beyond that is Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, a thoughtful intellectual, a compassionate human being, and a patriot deeply committed to building a better society for all.

What particularly inspired me was the work he is doing through his foundation to promote men’s health. Having survived prostate cancer himself, he has chosen to transform his personal experience into a campaign for awareness, early detection, and improved access to treatment. Good health remains one of the most critical foundations of a productive and progressive society, and I am committed to supporting this noble cause.

Today, August 1st, I visited the newly established Newton Jibunoh Centre and Museum in Asaba, the brainchild of Newton Jibunoh. Although I was unable to attend his Mandela Day event, themed “Poverty and Inequality Are in Our Hands,” I considered it important to pay him a visit.

My dear Father, Newton Jibunoh, remains one of Nigeria’s living icons. He is a man whose stories, experiences, and wisdom can keep you listening for hours without fatigue. His remarkable road expeditions across the Sahara Desert to London, beginning in 1967 and repeated in 2000, 2008, and subsequent years, are enduring testimonies to courage, resilience, determination, and an adventurous spirit.

His extraordinary journeys also remind us of a period when travelling across Nigeria and beyond was far safer than it is today. Listening to him always leaves me reflecting on how much we have lost as a nation and how much work still lies ahead if we are to rebuild a secure, united, and prosperous Nigeria.
