Publish the certificates of all Candidates — Peter Obi orders INEC
The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to make public the academic certificates and credentials submitted by all candidates seeking elective offices, saying such a move would promote transparency and strengthen public confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process.
Obi made the call in a Facebook post on Tuesday while reflecting on the questions contained in the INEC nomination form he completed.
According to the former Anambra State governor, one of the questions in Section E of the form asks whether a candidate has ever been adjudged a lunatic or declared to be of unsound mind. He said the question prompted him to reflect on whether Nigeria’s political leaders are demonstrating the qualities of sound-minded leadership.
He argued that the country’s worsening security and economic challenges deserve greater attention than political activities.
“When Nigerians, including children and security personnel, are being abd¥cted into the bushes, citizens cannot travel safely on our highways, several million Nigerians are uncertain where their next meal will come from… should politics really be our primary preoccupation?” he asked.
Obi maintained that responsible leadership would declare the nation’s security and humanitarian crises a national emergency and mobilise security agencies, experts, community leaders and other stakeholders to address them urgently.
He also referenced another question on the nomination form asking whether a candidate had ever presented a forged certificate to INEC, arguing that the electoral commission should publish the academic qualifications submitted by all contestants in the interest of openness and accountability.
“Transparency strengthens democracy and builds public trust. Nigeria’s problems are too serious for politics as usual. It is time for leadership defined by competence, character, capacity, compassion, and commitment to service,” Obi stated.
We have successfully uploaded the name of our Presidential Candidate, His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, CON to the INEC Portal.
Keep the faith, We are in this together. ✌🏻✅
Unprecedented flooding all over Lagos. It's been speculated that the coastal road has blocked off major drainage channels
When Minister Dave Umahi was questioned about environmental impact assessment report he belittled and berated the journalist asking the question.
We went from "must you eat rice?" to "must you run all your equipments all the time?" to “apart from Ice block, what do we need 24/7 electricity for?” to “must an airport have 24/7 electricity?” & now to “To start Akara business doesn't take a lot of money”
Take 2027 elections like your life depends on it because your life actually depends on it.

My Stance on Road Development
There is a pertinent reason I have consistently advocated that we should refrain from initiating new road construction projects until we have thoroughly rehabilitated and maintained our existing road network. Instead of undertaking new ventures and dualization projects that offer marginal benefits, our primary focus ought to be on repairing the critical roads already in place.
Consider, for instance, the Asaba–Benin Road. This thoroughfare is a vital artery within Nigeria's transportation infrastructure. Travellers traversing from Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Rivers, Imo, Ebonyi, Cross River, Abia, Enugu, and portions of Benue and Kogi States to Lagos are compelled to utilise this route.
Despite its significance, substantial sections of this road are in a lamentable condition. It has become a major impediment, precipitating persistent traffic congestion and inflicting undue hardship on travellers, businesses, and transport operators.
Regrettably, this situation is not unique; it reflects the reality on many of our busiest national highways.
Our efforts should be directed towards the reconstruction and maintenance of our current road infrastructure before we announce plans for new road projects. The Nigerian populace requires functional and motorable roads, not merely projects that garner public attention.
Efforts aimed at superficial improvements for political gain should not supersede the urgent need to address the condition of our existing, critical roadways.

This is the new public school in Abia State. 19 others are currently being built.
What they’re doing is transforming already existing schools into this. This is American-standard schooling.
You remember I once criticized their first smart school attempt, which the government later condemned entirely and followed this approach instead.
I’m so impressed with the Abia State Government.
They listen, and they are truly for their people.
The woman selling Akara at the University gate has been there for over 20yrs, people she is selling Akara to have graduated, some have become Governors and all, she is still there earning daily profits.
God will Judge you.
Engaging Tomorrow’s Leaders at Madonna University
Yesterday, I continued my engagement with future leaders in the country. I was at Madonna University, Okija Campus, where I had the privilege of interacting with students at the NextGen Mentorship & Leadership Initiative on the theme: “Beyond Now: Raising the Next Generation of Leaders.”
The session was highly engaging, with students asking thoughtful and probing questions. Their concerns reflected the frustration of many young Nigerians who feel constrained by poor governance and widespread corruption, which have denied them opportunities to realise their full potential. However, I was equally encouraged by their optimism and determination to be part of the solution.
I reminded them that leadership is the greatest determinant of a nation’s progress. A true leader must possess the character, competence, capacity, and compassion to make sacrifices for the good of the people. Nigeria’s future depends on leaders committed to safeguarding lives, investing in education, creating opportunities, and building effective institutions.
I encouraged the students to take their education seriously, to prepare themselves for leadership, and to see themselves not merely as spectators but as agents of change. Through active participation in the democratic process, they have the power to enthrone leaders with integrity and the capacity to propel our nation forward.
As part of my ongoing commitment to education, I presented a cheque of ₦15 million to the university to support its educational mission. Investing in education remains one of the most effective ways to develop the human capital necessary for national progress.
Together, by raising a new generation of responsible and visionary leaders, we can build the Nigeria of our dreams that is POssible. -PO
When Nigerians are tired, no amount of security forces can stop them and Tinubu will have no other option than to run away.
That time is fast approaching, it's either done in peace or in pieces.
Tinubu is so afraid of Peter Obi that he had to rush to Kogi State the home of political corruption to obtain a Black Market Judgement to deregister the NDC.
He has failed.
Peter Obi is coming
