I have said this before, and I believe it is important to remind Nigerians of my position as we approach 2027.
Peter Obi has my support for the presidency.
But my position is clear, I am not supporting the idea of Peter Obi becoming somebody else’s Vice President.
The day Peter Obi accepts a Vice Presidential position, I will walk away from his corner. I have said this plainly, and I stand by it.
My concern is not about personalities. It is about the kind of leadership Nigeria needs and the direction in which we want our country to go.
I have also argued that we should begin to rethink the age of those seeking executive office. The Nigerian presidency should not become a retirement home for politicians.
I believe there should be a serious national conversation about limiting presidential and gubernatorial candidates to those aged 70 or below.
Nigeria needs leadership that is focused on the future, not simply another cycle of political succession.
These are principles I have stated publicly, and Nigerians should judge them for themselves.
My open letter to HE, Peter Obi.
Dear Sir @PeterObi,
Many people believe that one of the reasons some politicians gain respect is because they are not seen as openly buying votes or sharing money for political loyalty.
If you want to build a stronger movement without going down that route, money can still be a very powerful tool when it is spent in smart and transparent ways.
First, you can invest heavily in grassroots organization. Elections are often won at the local level, not just on television or social media.
Building offices in communities, training volunteers, and supporting coordinators in different wards and polling units costs money.
The more organized your campaign is, the easier it becomes to reach ordinary voters and communicate its message effectively.
Another area where finance can make a difference is voter education. Many voters do not fully understand the policies or plans being proposed by you.
Funding town hall meetings, community engagements, policy booklets, radio programs, and online content can help bridge that gap.
When people understand what you stand for, they are more likely to support you based on ideas rather than emotions.
Technology is also important. Your campaign can spend money developing strong digital platforms, voter databases, mobile apps, and communication systems.
These tools help campaigns stay connected with supporters, respond quickly to issues, and mobilize people during elections. In today's world, a weak digital presence can be a major disadvantage.
Research is another area that is often overlooked. Good campaigns spend resources understanding what concerns people the most.
Whether it is unemployment, insecurity, inflation, education, or healthcare, knowing what voters care about allows you to focus on the issues that matter instead of guessing. Some politicians spend too much time talking and hating on you, and too little time listening to the masses.
Finance can also be used to attract competent professionals. A serious campaign needs economists, policy experts, communication specialists, legal advisers, and organizers.
While passion is important, expertise matters too. Having the right team can improve your quality of policy proposals and public communication.
In addition, your campaign can support community service initiatives that are completely legal and transparent. For example, sponsoring public discussions, skills training programs, health awareness campaigns, or environmental projects.
If done genuinely and not as vote-buying, such activities can help people see that the "OK" or "OBIDIENT" movement is interested in solving problems rather than appearing only during election season.
Finally, transparency itself can become a political asset. If you publicly disclose donations, expenditures, and campaign finances, it may help earn trust from voters who are tired of secrecy and corruption.
Trust is difficult to buy, but openness can help build it over time.
At the end of the day, money alone does not win elections. However, money spent on organization, communication, research, technology, and public engagement can significantly strengthen your campaign.
The difference is that instead of using finance to influence voters directly, it is being used to build credibility, improve outreach, and create a more effective political movement.
The two approaches may cost money, but they are not the same thing at all.
Regards,
End.
Dear APC leaders,
You are Nigerians before your party Identity, so you are not an outcast.
However, the bloods of our youths whose lives have been lost from the lekki tollgate massacre to careless deaths, will all be accounted for.
Prison awaits those of you who had hands in
We didn’t have Governors, Senators, Reps, or even Councillors in 2023, yet look at what happened.
2027 will be different. We will not go to court.
Mehn It is unfortunate that many aspiring candidates have lost confidence in Nigeria’s court system.

DISCLAIMER: Fake Letter Circulating in My Name
My attention has been drawn to a fake letter circulating on social media, purportedly written by me to His Majesty, Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Ugochukwu Achebe, the Obi of Onitsha, concerning political and financial matters in Anambra State.
This document is entirely false, malicious, and a fabrication by mischievous elements aimed at misleading the public. Furthermore, the signature appended to the letter is completely forged.
I urge the public and media to disregard this spurious publication. My focus remains steadfastly on issues of national development, accountability, and building a better future for our people - never on cheap fabrications. -PO
Let's begin to give dignity to human lives in our land.
The death of 37 persons in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Minna, Niger State, is a deeply troubling tragedy that demands urgent answers. These were persons who had been arrested as suspects. Whatever offence they were suspected of committing, they were still human beings, and the responsibility of the State was to keep them alive, safe, and treated humanely while due process took its course.
It is particularly disturbing that so many people could die within a place of detention in such a short period. While investigations are ongoing into the actual cause of these deaths, including reports concerning disease, overcrowding, and inadequate ventilation, Nigerians deserve a transparent, independent, and credible investigation that establishes exactly what happened.
This tragedy also reminds us that security is not merely about arresting people. Security is about protecting lives, upholding the dignity of every citizen, and ensuring that the institutions entrusted with our safety operate within the law.
A nation cannot claim to value human life when people can enter government custody alive and emerge dead without immediate, transparent, and credible accountability.
I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the deceased and urge the authorities to ensure that justice is done. Nigeria must become a country where the rule of law protects every citizen, not only those who are free but also those who are in custody.
May God grant the families the strength to bear this painful loss. -PO

An anonymous person who works at the INEC office told me that crazy things are happening behind closed doors that Nigerians are not aware of, that over 60% of Nigerians who recently registered for a new PVC will not get their PVC to vote.
For days now, I have been raising awareness for INEC to release PVCs for collection, but nobody is amplifying my voice.
I give up on this country since the youths don’t react to anything.
Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy
My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.
We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.
The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.
The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.
It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.
If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO
