PSA: FOLLOWING THE BENUE INCIDENT INVOLVING H.E PETER OBI @PeterObi, I HAVE FINALLY REACHED MY MOMENT OF CLARITY.
After a long period of sober reflection, highโlevel consultations, prayers with my family, I have come to a decision.
Yesโฆ I have decided to Port.
For months, I wrestled with this choice. I analyzed it, debated it, overโthought it, and even tried to ignore it. I poured over every angle, every implication, every possible outcome. I can only hope that, at this point, my decision will be respected.
I have fought relentlessly for good governance in the country I love, and I have championed that cause through the person of HE Peter Obi.
But today, I must confess:
I can no longer deceive myself.
I now have a clearer understanding of the leadership traits Nigeria desperately needs; traits I want to see in anyone who claims readiness to lead a complex nation like ours.
Traits such as boldness, tenacity, fearlessness, strength, courage, emotional intelligence, sound judgment, calm under pressure, and the ability to stand firm even when the storm is raging.
These are not optional qualities. They are essential.
And for this reason, after all my consultations, reflections, and prayers, coupled with the sequence of events that played out in Benue yesterday, I have concluded with full conviction that Peter Obi IS THE MAN for the job.
He is an enigma.
He is a phenomenon.
He is a masterclass in composure and courage.
During the Benue fracas, he demonstrated every single one of these leadership traits with precision and grace. There is absolutely no question in my mind: he is the most fit, most capable, and most prepared to take on the Herculean task of leading Nigeria out of the quagmire created by those who could care less whether the nation succeeds or fails.
Nigeria is currently in a very dark place in hands of looters and self-centered carpetbaggers. We feel disenchanted and totally overwhelmed by the callousness of misleaders and morally bankrupt government and their supporters.
But a new day is on the horizonโฆ
So yes, I have Ported;
Ported right back to the truth I already knew; that come rain, come shine;
It is still Peter Obi or Nothing.
It is still OK 2027 or Nothing.
It is still a new Nigeria that is ever more POssible or Nothing.

Dolly Parton: The Compassion That Came From Humble Beginnings.
There is something deeply moving about Dolly Parton that goes beyond her extraordinary music. For those of us who admire her, perhaps the most enduring part of her story is not the fame, the records, the awards or the wealth, but the person she remained after all of them.
Dolly Partonโs greatness, to me, goes far beyond her extraordinary music. It is in the person she remained despite the fame, wealth and success. She came from poverty in rural Tennessee, from a large, humble family with little materially but rich in love, faith, resilience and family values. She never seemed to forget those beginnings. Instead, she carried them into her music and her life.
That is why her songs resonate so deeply. She sang about love, heartbreak, hardship, loneliness, hope and the struggles of ordinary peopleโnot merely as a performer, but as someone who understood them. Her music gave dignity to people who were often overlooked.
Her compassion seemed to flow naturally from her upbringing. Even at the height of her success, she retained a remarkable warmth, humility and generosity, particularly toward children, the poor and those in need.
I admire Dolly Parton not simply because she became a great musician, but because success never made her forget where she came from. She turned her humble beginnings into music (Coat of Many Colors) that comforted millions and a life that continues to inspire.
For me, that is her greatest song: the sound of a good heart that never forgot its roots.
May God Almighty, who made her such a compassionate soul, grant her soul eternal rest. -PO
