@PeterObi and his Obidients have been the most transformative force in Nigerian politics in the two and half decades. The energies, the disruption and the ideas and vehemence they brought to Nigerian politics have parallel only in the 1960s.
It does not mean they are good or bad people. It means they have been immensely transformative. Any serious and fair-minded political scientist will admit this.
They should be resolute and press harder in 2027.
The VP shopping spree started with Peter Obi, my guy ran away when he saw the trap..
The moved to Seyi Makinde, that one no gree near them again.
Amaechi refused to vice them from the beginning.
Next, they moved to Ihedioha, Sen Akabuogu no way 🤣🤣🤣
Today, they have moved to Ngozi Okonji Iwuala and Femi Adesina 😜😜😜
Abeg TEMU shopping is open now, incase you are interested in Apki
Bola Tinubu and Remi Tinubu are a perfect illustration of what it means to marry one’s type.
A vicious couple bonded by destructive and greedy proclivities.
Zero empathy.
All they care about is political power and total state capture.
When will this nightmare end in our country?
3weeks ago,
39 little children and 7teachers were kidnapped by terrorists in Oyo state. One of the teachers was brutally beheaded on video.
TILL NOW,
AS I TYPE THIS,
THE KIDS AND TEACHERS ARE STILL HELD IN TORTUROUS BONDAGE BY THE TERRORISTS.
3days ago,
The sister of an ex-minister and her twin kids were kidnapped. And within 3days, the security forces have secured their release.
The kidnapped children of the poor, some of them 2year olds and 3year olds, are languishing in a terrorist hellhole for the last 3weeks with no hope of a rescue but within 3days the kidnapped children of an ex minister got released by govt forces.
Well, incase you need another reminder, YOUR LIFE, THE LIFE OF YOUR CHILDREN AND THE LIVES OF ALL YOUR LOVED ONES is absolutely worthless to this government. These incompetent heartless lunatics in power will watch them kidnapped, killed, beheaded and do absolutely nothing.
Your life means nothing to this govt.
Just incase you have forgotten.
See I know people into power generation. @KKenPela owns a power generating company operating in Ogun State
I was with MD of Fedikore Power Ltd just about a week ago
When George Moughalu was running for Gov, I did extensive research on power generation as I considered it critical to the #RecoveryAgenda of our campaign
No way you will build a 20MW plant for more than $40m
Let's even say $50m
Please where will the remaining $60-$50m go to bikonu? Election funding?
APC is an evil party
God forbid this kind of steal you people do in this country
They have activated campaign of calumny against Kwankwaso in Lagos.
This is exactly what they did in 2019, they were going around telling their people that voting Atiku is voting Igbo into power.
Today you are joining them to scream that Peter Obi shouldn’t have left.
lol, if Peter Obi deputized Atiku, you will get the worst from of anti-Igbo rhetorics from that quarter.
If they could brand Jimi Agbaje “Igbo” because they wanted their people to reject him, who the hell are you? Political scientist from Twitter Nigeria?😂😂
I’m not angry with you people, I’m entertained by your naivety.
Yesterday, I was in Strasbourg, France, to attend sessions at the European Parliament.
While there, I spent the day holding a series of constructive meetings with several members from various committees, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, to the Members of the Africa-EU Delegation Committee, to the Committee on Transport and Tourism, and Development, amongst others.
I appealed to them to strengthen their relationship with Africa, especially Nigeria, which stands as a key frontier for global development. Africa, as I reiterated, is a continent of immense potential, the second-largest in size and population, richly endowed with natural resources, and powered by a vast, youthful demographic. Yet it remains the face of global poverty, largely because of bad leadership and entrenched corruption, a reality clearly reflected in Nigeria.
I urged them to support the development of Africa, particularly Nigeria, by advancing good governance. This includes supporting our democratic processes in ways that promote the emergence of competent leaders with the capacity and integrity to transform our nations.
I also highlighted how they can support us in addressing insecurity, improving power generation and distribution, strengthening education and healthcare, and lifting our people out of poverty. This is necessary because our success as a nation and the success of Africa have a direct benefit to Europe.
I also underscored the need to invest in and support Nigerian youths who have an immense desire and drive for entrepreneurship and productivity, if well supported, but are now facing despair due to limited opportunities.
Africa and indeed Nigeria can and must work for all and contribute to global developments.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
My final engagement before leaving Capetown for Johannesburg yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting two distinguished former leaders, President Ian Khama of Botswana and President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, before departing Cape Town for Johannesburg yesterday.
This meeting was an opportunity for me to express my heartfelt appreciation for their positive comments on the recent immigration issues in the region and their continued advocacy for peace and unity among African nations.
Both Mr Khama and Mr Mbeki continue to hold significant respect across the continent due to their remarkable contributions, both during and after their presidencies.
During my audience with Mr Mbeki, I also reconnected with my good friend, former Ekiti State Governor Dr Kayode Fayemi, who delivered a keynote address at the Thabo Mbeki Africa Day lecture, focusing on the themes of rebuilding unity and revitalising institutions throughout the continent.
This event was organised by the Thabo Mbeki Foundation. -PO
My final engagement in South Africa was yesterday in Johannesburg with my interaction with Nigerians in the diaspora. The discussions were frank, emotional, and deeply reflective of the realities confronting our people both at home and abroad.
The conversation was interrupted several times by passionate questions bordering on diplomacy, the treatment of Nigerians in foreign countries, the political situation back home, and the growing desire of many young Nigerians abroad to return home and contribute meaningfully to nation-building, if only the environment becomes conducive.
I also reminded our people that the respect any citizen receives abroad is often tied to how respected their nation is at home. A country that works, protects its institutions, upholds justice, and cares for its people naturally commands global respect. This is why leadership and governance must remain people-oriented, accountable, and rooted in competence and integrity.
While acknowledging the frustrations and pains many expressed, I emphasized the need for all of us to continue to conduct ourselves within the ambit of the law, irrespective of the provocation or difficulties we face. Nation-building demands discipline, civic responsibility, and the willingness to pursue change through constructive engagement.
The interaction further reinforced my belief that Nigerians across the world remain hopeful about the future of our nation despite the present challenges. Our task as leaders is to inspire that hope with sincerity, measurable action, and a commitment to building a secure, productive, and inclusive Nigeria.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
After speaking with Nigerians in Cape Town yesterday, I was able to have meaningful discussions this morning with three South African ministers and political party leaders regarding the ongoing challenges related to immigration, regional collaboration, and fostering peaceful coexistence between our nations.
I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr Leon Schreiber, the South African Minister of Home Affairs and a prominent figure in the Democratic Alliance; Mr Velenkosini Hlabisa, the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs and leader of the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP); and Mr Gayton McKenzie, the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture and leader of the Patriotic Alliance (PA).
Our conversations were productive and candid, focusing on the current challenges that affect both countries—particularly those related to migration, economic strains, youth unemployment, security issues, and the rising tensions faced by African foreigners in South Africa.
I firmly believe that Nigeria and South Africa, both prominent African nations, must enhance dialogue, bolster cooperation, and seek solutions based on justice, mutual respect, and adherence to the rule of law. In challenging times, leaders and citizens alike need to demonstrate responsible leadership, compassion, and restraint.
We collectively stressed the importance of law-abiding behaviour, avoiding violence, resisting hate or provocation, and allowing lawful institutions to address grievances through democratic and constitutional processes, regardless of the challenges we face.
The progress of Africa hinges on our ability to create unity, foster economic inclusivity, invest in our communities, and uphold the dignity of every African, no matter where they live. -PO
