As far as the 2027 Nigerian presidential election is concerned,
Peter Gregory Onwubuasi Obi remains my preferred candidate among the frontliners.

My position is not anchored in certainty of victory, but in a firm belief in the quality of governance he could offer if given the mandate.

My responsibility, therefore, is simple:
to contribute, in whatever capacity I can, towards the realization of that outcome.

No equivocation.
No prevarication.

You can have the best striker in the world on your team and still lose because you have a daft redcard-loving defender or error-prone goalkeeper; or worse, both, in combination with an indifferent captain.

Until we have an 11 unified in positive purpose, as a nation, we're unlikely to be great.

Our reality is a cumulative of our nature and what we nurture.

We deserve what we get, as a collective, even if we might sometimes think differently as individuals.

Nigeria injects sadness in one's battered veins, thrice daily and at bedtime.

[Harmless @HarmlessHQ]

Tinubu is the C-in-C.
Tinubu is the GCFR.
Tinubu is in charge of the Army, Navy, Airforce, Police, DSS, NIA, NSA, Civil Defense e.t.c.

Only him has the make appointments and give final order to these security agencies.

When there was a coup plot against him, he immediately reshuffled the entire security architecture of the country.

And you want me to leave such person with such tremendous power,

And blame Seyi Makinde who doesn't have authority over a private soldier in Oyo State.

Or do you think C-IN-C and GCFR na ordinary chieftaincy titles in your village??

[Moni Ukpeya @Ntob]

Happy month of June to my mutuals, Obidients, Kwankwasiyas and the good people of Nigeria 🇳🇬

May this be the last June that Nigerians get to experience under the wicked government of Bola Tinubu and his APC occult group.

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH BY MR. PETER OBI FOLLOWING HIS NOMINATION AS THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF THE NIGERIAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS(NDC) – MAY 30, 2026

Protocols,

Esteemed citizens of Nigeria,

It is with deep humility that I accept the role of presidential candidate for our party.
I express my profound gratitude to the leaders of our party. His Excellency Seriake Dickson, the National Chairman, National Secretary and the National Working Committee, NWC members and members of our relentless supporters, and the Nigerian populace who have steadfastly kept the spirit of hope alive. I commend those who have made the journey from every region of our nation to convene here in Abuja.

I wish to assert unequivocally: a New Nigeria is Possible. This conviction has united us; it must serve as our compass on the challenging road ahead and sustain us through all trials we may face. This pivotal moment transcends the individual ambitions of Peter Obi; it concerns the essence of our nation and the future of our children. It is about rekindling hope for millions who have faced adversity yet remain committed to Nigeria.

Today, our nation finds itself at a crucial juncture, enveloped in uncertainty. Families are anxious about their safety; parents are concerned for their children's futures; and talented youth increasingly question their prospects in their homeland.

Businesses are struggling, communities are suffering, and an alarming number of citizens have lost faith in the very concept of governance. Yet, I stand before you filled with optimism and strong faith in the resilience of our people, for I firmly believe that a New Nigeria is possible.

UNITY
To realise this New Nigeria, we must first mend the foundational elements essential for the success of any nation.

Nigeria cannot advance while fragmented by ethnic, religious, regional, or narrow political divides. We may communicate in different languages and practise diverse faiths, but we share a singular destiny under one flag. Our diversity should not be a source of division; rather, it is among our greatest strengths.

We should build bridges where others erect barriers, replace mistrust with confidence, division with understanding, and resentment with a collective purpose. A united Nigeria is indispensable. As Will Durant wisely pointed out, "A great civilisation is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within." We must never self-destruct. We must heal, unify, and progress together.

INSECURITY
In terms of security, the situation in Nigeria has considerably worsened. The global terrorism impact assessments ranked Nigeria as the 8th most affected nation in 2022, 6th in 2024, and 4th in 2026.
Yet, for many years, Nigeria garnered global recognition as a reliable contributor to peacekeeping, regional stabilisation, and conflict resolution. Our troops have not only displayed bravery but have also shown professionalism, discipline, resilience, and empathy in the most challenging operational contexts. Our officers and personnel have successfully commanded multiple international forthe ces, safeguarded vulnerable civilian populations, monitored ceasefires, reinstated constitutional order, and contributed to rebuilding efforts.

Nigeria became one of the leading contributors of troops from Africa to UN peacekeeping missions and earned widespread admiration for operational effectiveness and leadership in various countries, including Rwanda, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mali, Western Sahara, Congo, Lebanon, Cambodia, Haiti, and Kuwait. At one pointin a Nigeria, Lt. General Isaac Obiakor (rtd) even led global peacekeeping initiatives.

We must address insecurity with resolve and urgency, for no nation can thrive while its citizens live in trepidation. The primary responsibility of the government is to ensure the safeguarding of lives and property.

Yesterday, the 25th of May, after my court hearing, I attended the NDC (Nigeria Democratic Congress) aspirants’ dinner — a party my political principal joined while I was still in DSS detention.

While I was in detention, many people believed that Peter Obi had abandoned me, but what many did not know was that he was working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that I regained my freedom and that my wife and children were okay.

At the same time, many Nigerians also stood up for me, spoke out, prayed, and demanded my release. For that, I will forever remain grateful.

Today, more than ever, I am proud to call myself a Nigerian, and I still strongly believe that a new Nigeria is indeed POssible 🇳🇬 and Nigeria will definitely be OK

Notice to @NigeriaNDCHQ

Please disregard the latest Federal High Court case. It could be a political trap. Just follow your timeliness. Do not delay to upload your presidential nomination before May 30, 2026.

Leave High Court decisions alone. The Nigerian judiciary is in a crisis situation. Follow current INEC timelines.

[Wale Pops Adekimoye @walpops]

Countries do not become functional by magic.

During Peter Obi’s tenure, Anambra became associated with low debt and measurable savings while still improving schools and infrastructure.

Leadership is not only about spending money. It is also about managing public resources with restraint and long term thinking.

That culture is part of why many Nigerians still discuss his governorship years later.

[Abu Amir @SadiqMaunde]

APC & Atiku boys thought OBIdients will attack Seyi Makinde or drag him, only for them to see OBIdients saying both Makinde & Obi are competent leaders.

And the bitter truth remains, both Makinde & Obi are far more competent than Atiku & Tinubu combined. 🤣

[Mallam jabir @Mallam_jabeer]

I just came for Friday prayers and saw some people comfortably sitting down and blocking the road, causing unnecessary traffic and holdup.

I immediately but politely asked them to leave because that behavior is very bad and inconsiderate to other road users.

What if there's an emergency?

Islam teaches discipline, orderliness and consideration for others not causing inconvenience and obstruction on public roads.

We must learn to practice our religion with responsibility and respect for the public.

Please...

Teargas in a Hospital, a Thoughtless Act.

I have just read the recent troubling reports of how the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) allegedly stormed the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital in a bid to arrest Professor Eyo Ekpe, a professor of cardiothoracic surgery and deputy chairman of the hospital’s medical advisory committee.

While I understand and respect the fact that the EFCC, and indeed, all other government agencies have their constitutional rights to do their jobs without interference, the manner in which some of these jobs are carried out is often deeply troubling.

Reportedly, the EFCC operatives who stormed the hospital shot some teargas canisters within the hospital premises which sent medical staff and patients running for safety. This thoughtless act greatly compromised the general safety in the hospital environment and further jeopardised the health of the medical personnel and the sick people in the hospital.

I have always said that the most fundamental intangible asset upon which any nation functions effectively is the rule of law and order. The disorderliness allegedly demonstrated by the EFCC operatives at the hospital must not be encouraged. Nothing justifies the use of teargas canisters in a fragile hospital environment. Do we not realise that our hospitals are part of our most critical contributors to development?

We must also learn to respect the lives and dignity of our citizens. If a Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery is arrested in such a demeaning manner in a hospital environment, what signals are we sending to other medical professionals working hard to keep our health sector afloat? It is reported that Nigeria has only 80 cardiothoracic surgeons serving its 230 million people, and the Prof Eyo Ekpe is the only one in Akwa Ibom State.

Let us learn to do better. Let us condemn and eschew the rascality and disorderliness that have continued to characterise some of our public offices and bring in civility in the discharge of our duties.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

On this World Nurses Day, I would like to take a moment to appreciate all the nurses and midwives in our dear nation, who occupy a very special place and play very critical roles in our health sector. As one who has been on the vanguard of investing in our critical sectors of human and national development, I have always maintained that you, our dear nurses, are the heart of our health sector.

Over the years, I have traversed different corners of our nation supporting different schools and colleges of nursing and midwifery because I understand the inevitable role you play in our healthcare delivery. As you mark this special day, I wish to, firstly, thank you for all your efforts and sacrifices. Your compassion, sacrifice, and resilience keep our nation alive. And secondly, I wish to encourage you not to relent in your service to humanity. Nigerian nurses work under some of the toughest conditions with dignity and courage. From physical and mental stress to high patient-to-nurse ratios, to lack of equipment and poor working environments, your resilience keeps our health sector going.

And beyond the shores of the nation, our nurses have continued to make exploits on the global stage. From leading the next generation research in nursing practice to championing excellence in clinical practice—many Nigerian nurses have written their names on the sands of time and lifted our national banner high. I celebrate you all.

My firm commitment to you all remains this — we will build a New Nigeria where your hard work and sacrifices will never go unnoticed. We will invest in your education and training to ensure that you remain competitive on the global stage. Happy World Nurses Day to you all.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Nigeria Democratic Congress @NigeriaNDCHQ]

Nigeria Democratic Congress is not the same as National Democratic Congress.

The latter is a political party in Ghana.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Osamudiamen @OSAS4l]

Peter Obi has never chosen the easy way. Leaving PDP for LP and ADC for NDC is not the easy way. Last election, he had to campaign in 2-3 cities in some states. He worked harder than the other 2 to secure +6million votes

[Obiasogu David @afrisagacity]

Dear Peter Obi and Kwankwaso, can you make these two your official campaign spokespersons?

They are the voices of reason, and you need them.✍️

[DONU KOGBARA @DONUKOGBARA]

Any party Obi joins instantly becomes the main opposition party. He is looking more and more like a man of Destiny and unquenchable flame.

[Nigeria Democratic Congress @NigeriaNDCHQ]

They didn’t see us coming ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

[Nigeria Democratic Congress @NigeriaNDCHQ]

Congratulations to us for the successful maiden edition of our National Convention.

NDC is here to stay.

We are OK ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
