Building a Healthier Nigeria Through Stronger Healthcare Systems
As part of our desire and commitment to building a healthier Nigeria, I met with some healthcare professionals and experts in the United States on Friday, June 5, 2026. The meeting was essentially to deepen my understanding of how successful health insurance systems deliver improved healthcare, especially in the areas of primary and emergency care.
One of our key health objectives remains unchanged: to expand health insurance coverage, strengthen primary healthcare across our electoral wards, train more healthcare workers, and make quality healthcare accessible and affordable for all Nigerians.
A New Nigeria must be a healthier Nigeria.
A New Nigeria is possible. -PO
Supporting bad governance because it benefits you today is a dangerous gamble.
Many think they can dine with the devil using a long spoon. Sooner or later, the spoon disappears, and they realise they were never exempt from the consequences.
A broken system eventually serves everyone the same meal.
It was a profound honour to join fellow party members at the special affirmation ceremony of His Excellency, Peter Obi, as the Presidential Candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 general elections.
I am particularly humbled and deeply honoured by my ratification as the party’s Vice Presidential Candidate.
I extend my sincere gratitude to the National Leader of the NDC, Senator Seriake Dickson, and all other leaders for this bold and visionary decision. It clearly reflects the NDC’s unwavering commitment to national unity, democratic consolidation, and purposeful leadership as we prepare for the 2027 elections. - RMK
This is what he wanted all along. Now let’s see who he’ll take as deputy. The opposition is fractured again as a result of this man.
When we count those who ruined Nigeria, Atiku should be counted.
This is Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, as we continue to mobilize into the ADC.
The strong words of HE PO are very clear: we will not allow a repeat of what happened in the 2023 election.
In 2027, you will either count the votes correctly, or you will be counted. We must all be ready to defend our votes.
My dear brothers and sisters of the Obidient Movement in Akwa Ibom State,
I bring you warm greetings and unwavering hope.
From the creeks to the cities, from every village square to every university campus, from every market and professional circle — the time has come to arise in your numbers.
The time has come to move from passion to structure, from structure to strategy, and from strategy to victory.
The Obidient Movement was never just about an election. It is about a new Nigeria — disciplined, competent, compassionate, and accountable.
It is about restoring dignity to leadership and power to the people. History will remember that Akwa Ibom stood tall in that struggle.
Today, I call on every coordinator, every volunteer, every youth leader, every courageous woman, and every wise elder: mobilize from every nook and cranny of our dear state. Organize ward meetings. Strengthen your polling unit structures. Register, revalidate, and align.
As we consolidate our political strength, we must strategically channel our collective energy into the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as our vehicle for transformation and victory in 2027.
This is not just a political alignment — it is a strategic movement toward winning power to serve the people.
Let no one sit on the sidelines. Let no one say, “My voice does not matter.” Let no one underestimate the power of a united people.
When we move together, we are unstoppable. When we organize, we win. When we vote, we transform nations.
Akwa Ibom has always been known for strength, resilience, and excellence.
Now is the moment to translate that strength into structured political participation. Recruit. Register. Educate. Mobilize. Protect the vote.
Let every ward echo with determination. Let every LGA shine with organization. Let every household hear the message of hope.
2027 is not just another election year — it is a defining moment. Victory will not come by wishful thinking; it will come through disciplined mobilization.
Rise, Obidients of Akwa Ibom. Rise in your thousands. Rise in unity. Rise in strategy. Rise in commitment.
Together, under one banner and with one purpose, we march toward 2027 — and by the grace of God and the strength of the people, we shall prevail.
Collectively, we will ensure that Peter Obi becomes President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, because he has the energy, integrity, and capacity to build a new Nigeria.
Arise and shine, for a New Nigeria is Possible.
Dr. Yunusa Tanko
National Coordinator
Obidient Movement Worldwide
Thank you His Excellency, @PeterObi for the trust placed in me to serve as Diaspora Coordinator (United States) for the Village Boy Movement.
I am committed to mobilizing Nigerians in the diaspora, especially across the United States, to return home and vote in their numbers for a better Nigeria come 2027.
I’m calling on all state, zonal, regional, and diaspora coordinators, as well as all well-meaning Obidients to stay united as we work together for a better Nigeria.
Let’s go grassroot. One village, one state, and one country at a time
A new Nigeria is POssible.
Our campaign train for Dr. Moses Paul, @Drmopaul, moved through several areas today, including Area 1 in Garki and Zone 4. The energy at the Garki Area 1 Shopping Complex, Zone 4 Plaza, and other locations we visited was amazing.
It is clear that businesses are struggling, and many business owners are desperate for real relief and a better future. I urged voters to stay strong, ignore all forms of intimidation, and come out to vote for the ADC so we can begin the real change they have been hoping for.
Today also marks the official start of the ADC mass membership registration. I used the opportunity to invite citizens to join our party and encouraged everyone to register and collect their PVCs. -AA

My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is Sacrosanct
One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship.
It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.
I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent.
Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn’t be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.
I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation.
In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word.
My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity.
If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.
I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal.
We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances.
Forty-eight months is enough for any leader who is focused and prepared to make a meaningful difference. In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to:
sanitise our governance system;
tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation;
catalyse small businesses as engines of growth ; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve.
Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors.
These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
If there is anything like Ohanaeze Ndigbo, then there should be a replying warning to the moronic governor against their son's constitutional right of freedom of movement / association etc
Happy birthday to Peter Obi in advance.

Earlier this week, I received a letter from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka Dental Students Association, appealing for urgent intervention and support of about ₦40,000,000 to upgrade their laboratory and scale up the department’s graduation and induction quota as part of their re-accreditation process.
Out of respect for the national mourning following the passing of our former President, I refrained from making any public statements during that period. Now that the mourning has officially ended, I felt it was important to act without delay. Today, I visited, because we cannot, in good conscience, continue to allow our young people to suffer due to leadership failure.
As part of my unwavering commitment to advancing education and healthcare in our dear nation, I made a modest donation of ₦15,000,000 to the University of Nigeria Dental Students Association to assist in their continuous education as students of the medical and dental department of the school.
I continue to question the kind of country we are building, where our leaders and public servants spend millions on luxury cars and ignore critical areas of development, health, education, and pulling people out of poverty. It is a tragedy of misplaced priorities.
When we fail to prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation, but invest billions in conference centres and bus parks, we betray our youth and undermine the future of our dear nation. We must invest in the future of the Nigerian youth.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
The truth is that the quality of humans speaking for you goes a long way to tell the world the kind of person you are
