As we predicted earlier,
The ADC would collapse structure for the NDC.
The LP would collapse structure for the NDC.
APM would collapse structure for the NDC.
PRP would collapse structure for the NDC.
Obidients would collapse structure for the NDC.
Kwankwasiyya would collapse structure for the NDC.
You thought we were joking, right?
Well, the court just deregistered the ADC and they're planning to collapse into the NDC.
When Peter Obi first became Governor, he was invited to an official meeting in Abuja. His aides prepared a list of about 30 people to accompany him, just as was customary for governors at the time. Another invitation came, and once again he traveled with a large entourage.
By the third or fourth trip, however, Obi began to question the huge amount of money being spent on these journeys. He felt it was excessive and unnecessary.
It was not his personal money being spent—it was government money, and the expenditure was legally approved. Yet, to Obi, it represented wasteful spending of public funds.
He called his staff and requested a detailed list of everyone who traveled with him, along with their specific responsibilities. After reviewing the list, he concluded that most of the tasks assigned to those individuals were things he could handle himself. He even insisted on carrying his own bag rather than assigning someone to do it for him.
He also reviewed the security arrangements. Instead of paying for multiple security personnel to travel back and forth at government expense, he reasoned that it would be more cost-effective to coordinate with the Inspector General of Police and use security personnel already available at his destination.
Through this culture of prudence and careful management of public resources, Peter Obi was able to leave Anambra State with substantial savings, clear outstanding debts, invest heavily in schools and hospitals, pay workers’ salaries, pensions, and gratuities, and undertake major infrastructure projects. Under his administration, Anambra also recorded significant improvements in educational performance.
This is the candidate we are presenting to Nigerians. We have taken the time to examine his record, his leadership style, and his achievements in public office. After careful consideration, we believe he stands out as one of the most capable leaders among those seeking public office.
May Almighty Allah grant him the opportunity to serve Nigeria and the wisdom and strength to lead the country towards progress and prosperity. Ameen.
Coping with the systematic collapse of our institutions.
When the controversy surrounding the removal of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, unfolded, I expressed a concern to a friend: that the greatest damage might not be immediate, but the message it sends about the sanctity and independence of our institutions to the world.
Strong economies are built on trust. Investors can manage security risks, policy risks, and even market risks. What they fear most is uncertainty in the rule of law and a judiciary that is perceived to be vulnerable to political pressure.
Today, many Nigerians have lost confidence in systems that should protect them. Businesses increasingly request that their contracts be governed by foreign jurisdictions because they have greater confidence in those institutions than in our own. That should concern every patriot.
We must never sacrifice our sacred institutions on the altar of politics. Nations rise when institutions are stronger than individuals. "The federal High Court Judgement ordering the de-registration of the ADC and other political parties is just one of those activities that further reduces the common man's trust in our legal systems" it should be reversed.
I pledge that we will restore the dignity, independence, and integrity of the Judiciary. The common man must have a voice. The business community must be protected from legal uncertainty and intimidation. Justice must be impartial, accessible, and respected by all.
To our judges, legal luminaries, senior advocates, and lawyers: this is your moment. Rise, defend the rule of law, take back your country!
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Once we are able to elect Peter Obi, rascals and thugs will stop contesting for president because we will have raised the bar so high.
Then, a new era begins.
Sustainable Success Is Built on Competence, Integrity, Discipline and hardworking.
On Saturday, I had the privilege of interacting with young entrepreneurs, professionals, business leaders, and members of the emerging generation at the This Generation Conference hosted by Summit Bible Church in Abuja.
Our discussion focused on what it takes to thrive in the marketplace despite prevailing economic challenges. I shared insights from my years in business and public service, emphasizing that sustainable success is built on integrity, competence, discipline, and a commitment to creating value for society.
I reminded participants that no nation develops by consumption alone. Nations progress when their citizens are productive, innovative, and committed to excellence. Our young people must resist the temptation of shortcuts and instead embrace education, skills acquisition, entrepreneurship, and ethical leadership.
The future of Nigeria depends largely on the quality of leadership and enterprise this generation is willing to build. We must move from a culture of sharing poverty to one of creating prosperity through production, innovation, and responsible governance.
I left encouraged by the energy, intelligence, and determination of the young people I met. Their questions, ideas, and aspirations reaffirmed my belief that Nigeria’s greatest resource remains her people.
Together, through hard work, integrity, and purposeful leadership, we can build the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
