This was Peter Obi’s handover note at the end of his tenure as Anambra state governor.

The first and last of its kind. Peter Obi is him, bro.

Alhamdulillah, I’m not backing nonsense or a criminal! ❤️

[Cyborg Warlord @Admiral_Cyborg]

TINUBU DID NOT JUST REMOVE SUBSIDY. HE REMOVED AFFORDABILITY.

And before you rush into my replies screaming “reforms,” answer one simple question:

How many things have become CHEAPER for the average Nigerian since May 2023?

Because Nigerians have received at least 10 different economic bills.

Let's count them.

1. FUEL.

“Subsidy is gone.”

Petrol skyrocketed.

Transportation followed.

Food followed.

Production followed.

Everything that moves eventually sent Nigerians an invoice.

Government saved subsidy money.

You became the subsidy.

2. THE NAIRA.

They “floated” the currency.

Beautiful economics.

Except your salary remained on the ground while the cost of imported goods flew.

Same ₦200k salary.

Different purchasing power.

They floated the naira.

Your salary sank.

3. ELECTRICITY.

Petrol became expensive.

So naturally you'd expect electricity to provide relief.

Wrong.

Band A tariffs jumped dramatically.

Generator expensive.

Grid expensive.

Diesel expensive.

Solar expensive.

Where exactly should businesses run?

4. DATA AND CALLS.

Then telecom tariffs were allowed to adjust by up to 50%.

Imagine building a “digital economy” while making digital access more expensive.

Your salary didn't rise 50%.

Your data could.

Welcome to reform.

5. EDUCATION.

Institutional charges increased across various universities.

Then came NELFUND.

Government's answer to increasingly unaffordable education?

DEBT.

Borrow.

Graduate.

Find employment.

Start repayment.

We are gradually normalising young Nigerians beginning adulthood owing money for education.

6. ATM WITHDRAWALS.

Your money.

Your account.

Your card.

But use another bank's ATM?

Charges.

Apparently, even accessing your own money is now an economic activity.

7. CASH WITHDRAWALS.

From 2026, exceed prescribed weekly cash-withdrawal limits and excess-cash charges can apply.

Imagine being charged because you wanted too much of YOUR OWN MONEY in cash.

Read that twice.

8. PASSPORTS.

32-page passport: ₦100,000.

64-page passport: ₦200,000.

Even proving you're Nigerian became more expensive.

Citizenship apparently has a premium package now.

9. IMPORTS.

Devalue the naira.

Imports become costlier in naira.

Raw materials become costlier.

Businesses transfer the costs.

The government doesn't send you the devaluation bill.

Relax.

Your pharmacist, mechanic and supermarket will deliver it.

10. CREDIT.

Then monetary tightening made borrowing brutally expensive.

So the Nigerian entrepreneur gets:

Expensive fuel.

Expensive electricity.

Expensive transportation.

Expensive inputs.

Poorer customers.

Expensive loans.

And somehow we're shocked businesses are struggling.

Here's the part that annoys me:

Every hardship has a sophisticated name.

Fuel increase = reform.

Currency collapse = market liberalisation.

Electricity increase = tariff adjustment.

Expensive borrowing = monetary tightening.

Higher charges = cost recovery.

But when you remove the economic grammar, one reality remains:

THE NIGERIAN IS PAYING MORE TO LIVE.

For three years we've heard:

“Be patient.”

“Necessary sacrifice.”

“Reforms take time.”

“The fundamentals are improving.”

Fine.

Then answer this:

WHEN DOES GOVERNMENT JOIN THE SACRIFICE?

Because Nigerians cannot continuously sacrifice purchasing power, savings, businesses and opportunities while political elites continue operating one of Africa's most expensive governments.

Maybe the reforms are working.

Maybe tomorrow will vindicate everything.

But Nigerians are entitled to ask today:

WORKING FOR WHOM?

Don't tell me Tinubu's best policy.

Quote this post and tell me the ONE Tinubu policy that has personally dealt the biggest blow to your pocket.

Fuel?

Naira?

Electricity?

Education?

Data?

Bank charges?

Let's compare everybody's bill.

[OTUNBA @ManLikeIcey]

Ibadan declaration is too late to manifest, the only way it can succeed is Atiku stepping down for Peter Obi and that won’t happen, both men will be on the ballot

The Ibadan declaration was planned to make Atiku the consensus candidate of the coalition before Obi left ADC

[OBI OF ABUJA🇳🇬 @icekied]

My friend invested ₦5,000,000 into pig business in Delta state after he left Abuja few months ago.

This is the break down on how he invested the money.

Yearly rent: ₦150,000
Big pigs are sold per KG.

74kg x 2,400= 184,800
70kg x 2,400= 168,000
85kg x 2,400= 204,000
90kg x 2,400= 216,000
110kg x 2,400= 264,000
140kg x 2,400= 336,000

Purchase for mature pigs= 1,372,800.

Weaners purchase
20,000 each x 50= ₦1,000,000.

Piglets= 20,000 each x 20= 400,000.

Piglets still sucking= bought them for 10,000 each to follow their mother to his farm = 10,000 x 15= 150,000.

Vaccination ₦10,000.

Total = 3,082,800.

1,917,200 is left for feeding the pigs.

Waiting to see his progress on the business and I will also share it as well.

What do you guys think about this business?

Here is the WORST PRESIDENT in the history of Nigeria 🇳🇬, Do you agree?

[Shehu Gazali Sadiq @Rejoice_inlife]

Someone is owing Opay, and couldn't pay. Most of the time his phone is switched off to avoid harassment from Opay.

But he's on the TL shouting Peter Obi will never be president. 🤣

Peter Obi the billionaire ooo

[Harmless @HarmlessHQ]

This is one thing I hate about Buharists. Since they left power, they usually stop at nothing to throw our party under the bus.

How can you come out with your clear eyes and tell the world that your party's primaries were rigged?

This is the same party primaries that produced President Tinubu. Are you also saying that President Tinubu is a product of rigged party primaries?

Please, let's be guided with our utterances to avoid giving Obidients free political points.

[Rinu Oduala 🔥🔫 @SavvyRinu]

In Lagos, Tokunbo Wahab will roll out his bigotry brigade by first checking the name of the resident then cursing your father out. 😭

[Sarkin Mota @SarkinMota_AMF]

just so we’re clear: are you now saying that the primaries conducted by the same party that produced your principal, who was the sitting President at the time, were neither free, fair nor credible?

[Abu Amir @SadiqMaunde]

There’s nothing like “vote wisely.”

Vote for Peter Obi!

[nacci🇨🇭🇳🇬 @obinacci]

@Omojuwa @PeterObi This E-Rat's thinks the are de-marketing Peter Obi, but not knowing the are making him more popular, even Europeans are asking us now who is Peter Obi.
Thanks to attackings dogs like you.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

I have followed with deep concern the developments surrounding the reported freezing of the bank accounts of the Osun State Government by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), coming just days before the governorship election.

Let me reiterate that I have always supported a relentless fight against corruption. However, that fight must never become a tool for political intimidation or the suppression of democracy. No institution, however important, should be used in a manner that creates the impression of influencing the electoral process.

The timing of this action raises legitimate questions. If investigations had been ongoing for months, why take such a drastic step on the eve of an election? In a democracy, institutions must not only be impartial but must also be seen to be impartial.

What is increasingly troubling is the growing perception that state institutions are being deployed to achieve political ends and secure power at all costs. This is dangerous for our democracy. Governments come and go, but once institutions lose their independence and credibility, the nation suffers.

If there is evidence of wrongdoing, the Constitution provides a clear path: seek the appropriate orders from a competent court. Due process is the foundation of justice. No agency should exercise powers beyond those granted by law.

I call on all relevant authorities to act strictly within the Constitution and ensure that nothing undermines the credibility of the Osun Governorship Election. The people of Osun must be allowed to freely determine their future through the ballot, without intimidation or institutional interference.

Nigeria’s democracy was built on sacrifice. We must not allow it to be weakened by the misuse of institutions or the pursuit of political advantage.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

When a Government Declares War on the Truth

President Donald Trump of America recently described Nigeria as “a now disgraced country.” The painful reality is that Nigeria’s challenges continue to deepen. Each passing day reveals deeper signs of decline, especially when a government becomes increasingly intolerant of truth and hostile to those who speak about the suffering of the people.

The Catholic Church has never functioned as an opposition party in Nigeria. Across military regimes and successive democratic administrations, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has maintained a principled voice on national issues and the nation’s conscience, commending governments when they deserved commendation and speaking the truth whenever national conscience demanded it. Its interventions are driven by a moral obligation, rooted in Christian social teaching, to defend truth, justice, and the common good.

The same applies to Nigeria’s major religious organisations. Bodies such as Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN), the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) have repeatedly raised concerns over economic hardship, inflation, and insecurity. Living among the people, religious leaders often encounter the suffering of citizens firsthand. They speak because they witness families struggling with rising food prices, unemployment, and the fear created by kidnappings and insecurity.

As leaders, we should be gracious enough to listen to people and organisations that speak the truth to us and genuinely criticise us when things are not going in the right direction. As Governor, I had the opportunity of working with a very strong Council of Traditional Rulers, led by the Obi of Onitsha, and religious bodies that consistently criticised me and offered suggestions. This contributed greatly to our success in Anambra State, especially in critical areas like education and health.

Against this background, the attacks on the CBCN, and especially on His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, are deeply troubling. Even in 1998, when Pope John Paul II visited Nigeria and told General Abacha some hard truths, including about the incarceration of Chief Moshood Abiola, nobody vilified him.

During the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV in Rome, to demonstrate his purported commitment to and respect for the Catholic Church, President Bola Tinubu arrived in Rome days before the event, ahead of most other visiting dignitaries, including Catholics such as the U.S. Vice President, JD Vance. He participated in the liturgy, queued with other world leaders to greet the Holy Father, and displayed deep respect for the moral authority of the Church. Back in Nigeria, however, that posture has now changed completely.

What is playing out today also reveals how political leaders sometimes exploit religion and ethnicity to divide the people. Even when it was obvious that the CBCN was speaking on issues affecting Nigerians across religious and ethnic boundaries, aides to the President immediately reduced it to a “religious affair.” The question is: are insecurity, poverty, inflation, unemployment, and hardship problems exclusive to a particular faith? Do these challenges recognise religious or tribal boundaries?

The bishops merely expressed what millions of Nigerians experience daily: insecurity has worsened, poverty is deepening, inflation is crippling families, businesses are struggling, and hope is fading. These are realities echoed by religious leaders across the country, to whom successive governments gave thanks and promised to look into their observations.

Rather than address these concerns or explain the measures in place to ameliorate them, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s aides and supporters responded with vicious attacks, particularly against Cardinal John Onaiyekan, with little regard for his age, stature, and accomplishments.

[Harry Da Diegot @trigottista]

Cardinal John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan

APC has nothing on this man 😂

[AmDyy The Plug 🦍 @nnamdyy]

The only road to my village was practically impassable for decades. Very terrible road plus a wooden bridge that had to be reinforced every month to avert casualties (which still happened anyway) but Obi came in and built two 200m bridges and a road network that conected all our neihgbouring communities with asphalt so thick it's been 18 years and not a single crack. Peter Obi gave us two bridges and over 5kms of road network within 1 years in office and this is my village alone out of over 200 in Anambra. I don't even want to talk about how he revamped our community secondary and primary schools & gave them a bus each, which made those in the Catholic schools pull their kids out to enrol them into the community schools. Bear in mind that he did this not just across all 17 LGA of Anambra but across all 200 villages in Anambra. You people don't understand. There has never been a governor in the history of Nigeria like Peter Obi. You're bragging with one bridge, Peter Obi built over 40 of them.

[Harmless @HarmlessHQ]

Another Harmless gist 😅

Recall that the whole presidency and APC media arm have been in chaos and confusion since the recent interview from Cardinal Onaiyekan.

It is reported that, Tinubu is very much angry at his media boys for starting the attack on the Cardinal and is apprehensive about his chances going into 2027.

In the light of the above, one over zealous propaganda director went ahead and fabricated a letter purportedly from the Catholic youths.

He posted it on Twitter and everyone in APC started reposting and posting aggressively, while at it, they were jubilating that at least, they have something at hand to continue the attack on the respected cleric.

Within a couple of minutes, Obidients busted the propaganda and revealed that the letter is actually FAKE and was FABRICATED by the APC propaganda team.

Since then, it became all shades of shame for APC stakeholders and they have deleting their drafts and the posts already made.

The media director is really angry that they're losing the media war with just few weeks to the campaign.
