My dear sister Enny,
Calvary greetings to you.
First, I want to appreciate your beginning sentence. It is impossible to find an APC supporter who is knowledgeable enough to admit the maximum failure of Tinubu in national security.
Be it that the foremost and primary job of a President is to ensure security of life and property, the inability of Tinubu to guarantee his most basic constitutional duty should call for his resignation.
So I am thankful, you are also making that call.
On the Chagoury projects, I truly commend you for the simplicity of your mind.
But let me educate you:
Yes, $13 billion for a coastal road is ridiculous. How much is the road per km?
Also, how many Chagoury project passed through a bidding process, especially the Coastal Road which is Nigeria’s most expensive infrastructure project?
Today, contractors are protesting because they are yet to be paid but Tinubu paid all Chagoury projects including a $700million project, $13billion project, and $2million this year alone.
Contractors are being owed, Pensioners are being owed, healthcare workers are being owed, lecturers and teachers are being owed but Chief Tinubu had just enough money to pay Chagoury.
Patriotism is not defending every action of a government, patriotism is demanding better from those entrusted with power.
Tinubu has failed.
And just to note, it’s SERAH not Sarah
There’s a cute E in mine.

Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility
This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.
The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.
Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.
During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.
At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.
I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO
"As a Yoruba man, I can't wait to have a Governor of a south Western state who like PETER OBI will rule a state for 8yrs;
1. He didn't borrow a Kobo.
2. He didn't use a bulletproof car.
3. He never lived outside the state or in Abuja.
4. He met a debt of N36billion.
5. He met Onitsha as a terror zone.

7. He met a kitchen called Govt House.
8. He met no Primary Healthcare.
9. He met no General Hospital in 14-LGs.
10. He met poor Pri. and Sec. school structures.
But by the time his tenure ended;
1. Anambra wasn't owing any contractor or worker.
2. He cleared the inherited ₦36billion debt.
3. He brought in SMEs to the traders of the state.

15. Obasanjo had to come to Onitsha and spent 1-week bcos of the peaceful environment.
16. He invited EFCC to come and audit his administration, before handing over.
17. He refused to accept land, gratuity & pension like other governors.
18. He never went close to State Govt House after handing over.
19. He didn’t try to frustrate his successors policies.
20. Till today, he kept gifting multi-millions to Schools, Healthcare development, and entrepreneurship developments.
21. He even work as Chairman of SEC at the national stage without pay.
22. He paid off the pensions and gratuity owed retired workers in Anambra state.
23. He placed all old people on the station free medical and monthly salary.
If you are sincere and your definition of leadership is right you won't be against Peter Obi.
Only a selfish mind would see all these and still question it.
Peter Obi - a man that defies Nigeria's version of leadership.

Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths,
After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth.
You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead.
It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire.
In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future.
I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender.
You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership.
If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation.
Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future.
I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country.
My young friends, this is your country. Take it back.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
