Dear Senator Henry Seriake Dickson @iamHSDickson While I take my time to properly address your allusion of me not playing by the rules which I consider very disingenuous seeing how I followed the process and even when you had insisted there would be no primaries for senate I let things go and asked my teeming supporters to focus on the bigger picture, I toured the FCT pacifying my supporters and party people who rightfully felt disrespected as they were all waiting at their respective headquarters for primaries that never happened.  (I played field politics, I never waited for anyone to give me ticket), I would like you as the National leader to watch this video again! This part of the interview was so painfully appalling to watch. It looked as if you were insecure and in competition with your Presidential Candidate. Your first one on one interview after primaries and instead of selling your candidates and giving confidence to people on how set the road to winning the 2027 election was, you made it about yourself. With all due respect sir, it looks as if you consider the NDC a Special Purpose Vehicle whose aim has been achieved just by being registered instead of a Political Party whose aim is to win the 2027 General election decisively!!!! The registration of NDC should be a means to an end and not an end in itself. As a leader of a Political party, your number one job in that interview was to pacify aspirants many of whom are rightfully aggrieved and secondly to call on supporters to bear with the party and support it but you ended up antagonising the very people you would need to win election. Every vote counts! A leader must stoop to conquer! No one can take away your leadership of NDC, no one is interested in that! The focus is on Nigeria is winning the 2027 election! It looked as if you are fighting a war no one is waging with you. You don't have anything to prove to anyone, just lead! It is also interesting how as a leader i see you shifting the blame with any process that doesn't go well or is called out. Even in this statement below, you did! Take all responsibility! The party is young. It was overwhelmed. Mistakes will be made. Accepting the mistakes and being accountable is how the party will get better. There is a whole battle ahead of us. Rescuing Nigeria from the current state it is in, should be the main focus not people's fragile ego! Let me round up with some words from Jim Rohn: IF WHAT YOU DID YESTERDAY IS STILL LOOKING BIG TO YOU TODAY, THEN YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH!!!
Henry Seriake Dickson@iamHSDickson

Last night, I had an interview with Arise TV, where I sympathised with our aspirants over some noticeable irregularities in our just-concluded primaries. I noted that, while not claiming that the exercise was perfect, I urged all of them to bear with the party in view of the circumstances we are managing, which have overwhelmed even bigger parties. This includes parties with a sitting President, 33 Governors, and control of political structures in most states, in the case of the APC, and even the ADC, which is over two years old. I made the case that we are just four months old and have been thrown into the middle of a very tight electoral timeframe, within which we had to carry out membership registration, congresses up to the national convention, primaries up to the national convention, appeal processes, and now the reconciliation phase. I identified the root cause of these challenges, my views on the Electoral Act have been clear: the APC-led majority were wrong in foisting compulsory direct primaries on political parties and the country. Complaints about irregularities in direct primaries are pervasive across all parties and are not peculiar to the NDC. As a matter of fact, considering the age of the NDC and the teeming number of aspirants we have had to manage, we have done quite well. For months since the formation of the NDC, I have been building confidence and receiving respected politicians into its fold. Since the primaries I have been attending to people and managing disagreements across the country on a daily basis. The NDC is on the ascendancy, and I thank Nigerians for their trust and confidence in our party. Even these challenges, which are not peculiar to us, will pass. I also noted that no party has announced any set of winners from its primaries, and neither has the NDC. The public should disregard any such claims in circulation, especially on social media, and await the party's formal submissions through the appropriate channels. The results of party primaries are not announced like school results; they are communicated through formal channels. I thank all our members for their abiding support. In anticipation of these challenges, the 2nd NEC meeting, held a few days ago, approved the composition of a Reconciliation Committee to work with state caucus leaders and other stakeholders in managing grievances. As I have stated before, this is our first set of primaries, and it will also be the last to be conducted manually. The next primaries will be technologically driven and will have none of these issues. I thank all supporters of our party, which has no government officials and is entirely self-funded. I appreciate their donations, contributions, and sacrifices made on behalf of the party. They remain valuable members of our party regardless of the outcome of the primaries. We are in this together, and we are all committed to ensuring the success of our party and our presidential team, their Excellencies Peter Obi and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who are my colleagues in this project. This success must be managed carefully, with everyone working together. I advise all members and supporters to avoid meaningless quarrels and infighting. Everyone should support our candidates, from the Presidency down to the least elective office. I urge all the stakeholders, caucus leaders and other leaders in various states who coordinated the primaries to take responsibility and step up their game in terms of coordiating the reconciliation process. Most of the candidates are persons backed and recommended by them, and not me nor the national leadership of the party. It is not a time to shift blames or dodge responsibilities. Since they midwifed and managed the process of the primaries, they should equally help in supporting the party in coordinating the reconciliation process, of which they have the support of the party. ~HSD

It is an aberration that Nigeria, as a country, is not at the World Cup. This is solely a failure of leadership, which we intend to fix in 2027 through our collective resolve to vote out this incompetent government that has denied millions of Nigerians the joy of travelling to watch the World Cup and participating in the tournament.

PRESS STATEMENT OBIDIENT MOVEMENT SUSPENDS TOP TO BOTTOM CAMPAIGN AND DECLARES OPERATION NO WORK, NO VOTE The Obidient Movement has taken note of the repeated disregard, disrespect, and political injustice shown to its members by political parties and politicians who want to benefit from its strength, credibility, structure, reach, and public goodwill. We have also taken note of the recent statement credited to Senator Seriake Dickson, where he reportedly told Obidients not to disparage him or his party, and claimed that NDC is doing Peter Obi and Obidients a favour by granting them its platform. We have heard him clearly. We also noticed the troubling tone of ownership in that interview. The possessive and self-important language made NDC sound less like a democratic party set up to rescue Nigerians and more like the personal property of one man. If NDC was truly set up to save Nigerians, then it must be a party for Nigerians, not a private estate where citizens are expected to kneel and thank one man for political access. Political parties are supposed to belong to the people, their members, and the public interest, not to one man or a small circle of political landlords. For the avoidance of doubt, the Obidient Movement is not owned by any political party. We are not political slaves. We are not campaign tools. We are not a crowd to be summoned during election season and ignored when decisions are being made. If NDC believes it is doing Obidients a favour, then we will no longer force our favour on NDC. Since we have been rudely reminded that we do not own the party, and since we are being told that nobody is doing NDC any favour, it is time for us to withdraw automatic political charity and move into non-partisan, people-centred politics. We must also speak for the aspirants and ordinary members who reportedly went through primaries in good faith, spent money, mobilised supporters, earned their place, and were later allegedly cheated, replaced, or pushed aside. If a party cannot protect fairness inside its own house, it has no moral right to preach justice to Nigerians. People who worked for their mandate must not be sacrificed for backroom deals and political convenience. In view of recent events, and the continued failure of party leaderships to treat the movement with the respect it deserves, we hereby suspend the Top to Bottom campaign approach. Going forward, every candidate must stand on their own record, competence, character, capacity, and public credibility. Whether a candidate is in NDC, ADC, PDP, Labour Party, or any other political platform, they must campaign on issues. They must face the people. They must explain what they have done, what they can do, and why Nigerians should trust them with power. Peter Obi has shown the standard. He campaigns on issues. He speaks to governance, economy, education, security, production, accountability, and the welfare of ordinary Nigerians. Any candidate who wants the support of the people must do the same. No candidate will be allowed to ride on Obi’s wave while disrespecting the same movement that built and sustained that wave. No more automatic support. No more blind loyalty. No more party-first politics. No more “vote them because they are under our platform.” From today, we are moving from Top to Bottom to Operation No Work, No Vote. No work, no vote. Nigerian politicians have shown repeatedly that many of them are on the same side when it comes to protecting their interests against the masses. They change parties, form alliances, recycle themselves, insult the people, and still expect the people to keep clapping. That era must end. Our loyalty is to good governance, competence, integrity, justice, accountability, and the Nigerian people. At the presidential level, our position remains clear. Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso are the only ticket we recognise for the national rescue mission. Every other candidate, at every other level, must prove themselves. They must show capacity. They must show integrity. They must show their work. They must convince the people. The Obidient Movement will no longer be used as political fuel by people who cannot respect the source of that energy. Any candidate who wants Obidient votes must earn them. They are not doing us a favour. The people are the favour. And anyone who wants the people’s support must respect the people first. Karigwe Prophet of Thoughts For and on behalf of Obidients, since the leadership of the Movement is sleeping.

@EkeneAninze Unfortunately, most of the corruption probes in the NA is to enable members get their cut of the loots from the MDAs. They were never concluded to lead to any recovery or imprisonment of defaulters.

Sometimes, whenever I look at Orji Uzor Kalu chairing any corruption investigation committee as a Senator, it makes me remember how Nigeria happened to the justice system in his case. How can we actually explain to the whole world that someone who was supposed to be in prison over corruption charges is now chairing committees that investigate corruption? Let me tell you the story in brief. Sometime ago, after Orji Uzor Kalu left office as Governor of Abia State, EFCC discovered a 7.5 billion naira infraction involving funds that allegedly went missing from the treasury of Abia State during his administration. So EFCC invited Orji Uzor Kalu to explain how the money was spent. He did not go alone because he was invited alongside his former Director of Finance, Udeh Udeogu, and his personal company, Slok Nigeria Limited, where EFCC believed part of the money had been diverted to. When Orji Uzor Kalu could not satisfactorily explain how the funds were spent, EFCC arraigned him, Udeh Udeogu, and Slok Nigeria Limited before Justice Mohammed Idris of the Federal High Court on a 39-count charge bordering on corruption. EFCC gathered its evidence and diligently prosecuted the matter. But before Justice Mohammed Idris could conclude the trial and deliver judgment, something happened. He was suddenly elevated from the Federal High Court to the Court of Appeal. Ordinarily, he should have handed the matter over to another judge to start afresh. However, because the case had gone very far and because there was a provision in the Administration of Criminal Justice Act which allowed a judge who started a criminal matter before being elevated to the Court of Appeal to return and conclude the case, provided he obtained written approval from the President of the Court of Appeal. That provision is Section 396(7) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA), 2015. It was inserted by the National Assembly to prevent waste, duplication, and unnecessary delays in criminal trials. Justice Idris explained the situation to both EFCC and Orji Uzor Kalu's legal team. They all agreed that he should obtain written permission from Justice Bulkachuwa, who was then the President of the Court of Appeal, so he could conclude the matter before fully assuming his new duties as a Justice of the Court of Appeal. Justice Idris obtained the approval, completed the trial, found Orji Uzor Kalu and Udeh Udeogu guilty, and sentenced them to 12 years and 10 years imprisonment respectively. Orji Uzor Kalu and Udeh Udeogu appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. Interestingly, their appeal was not that they were innocent or that the evidence presented against them was fabricated. It was not even that the judge wrongly convicted them. They told the Supreme Court that their conviction should be set aside because the man who convicted them had already become a Justice of the Court of Appeal before delivering the judgment. Sadly, the Supreme Court agreed with them. The Supreme court held that since Justice Mohammed Idris had already been elevated to the Court of Appeal, he had no business returning to the Federal High Court to conclude the case. According to the court, he should have allowed another judge to take over the matter. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the conviction and ordered that the case return to the Federal High Court for a fresh trial. But before that could happen, another interesting thing happened. While EFCC was preparing its evidence for the retrial, Orji Uzor Kalu ran to the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking an order to stop EFCC from prosecuting him again. His argument was that the Supreme Court's order for retrial specifically mentioned Udeh Udeogu but did not expressly mention his own name. Therefore, according to him, continuing his trial would not be in the interest of justice. Surprisingly, the Federal High Court agreed with him and halted the retrial.

@jidesanwoolu Lagos has become so disorderly, rowdy, disorganised. Your government scores very low on environmental issues and the city is now dirtier. Lagos should be in the league of other cities like Tunis, Casablanca, J'Burg, Algiers considering the revenue available to your government.

The true test of sustainable governance is the ability to pass the baton to proven hands, guided by minds that see the future clearly. Today, I present a ticket that reflects the strength, diversity, and future of our great state. Dr. Obafemi Hamzat has proven himself to be a dedicated public servant, a dependable partner in governance and a steadfast advocate for progress. Joining him as his running mate is Princess Damilola Sonayon-James, a respected leader, sustainability professional, and grassroots champion whose commitment to community development and youth empowerment reflects the aspirations of many Lagosians. Together, they bring the experience, competence, and energy needed to build on our achievements and move Lagos forward. As we prepare for the forthcoming gubernatorial election, I invite party faithful, stakeholders, and all Lagosians to support this team as we continue our shared mission of building a Greater Lagos.

Contractors Payment Compliance Act   There is a need for a strong, enforceable law to be enacted that compels every tier of government (Federal, State, and Local) to pay contractors all due invoices within 30 days, with mandatory interest (at least at the prevailing Central Bank of Nigeria Monetary Policy Rate plus 5%) on any delayed payment.   Contractors will deliver on their work only for governments to delay payments for months or years, pushing many businesses into distress and liquidation. A Contractors Payment Compliance Act will make it mandatory for government to pay within 30 days, with automatic interest on delays. No more using contractors as unwilling bankers!   The persistent delay in government payment to contractors constitutes a major obstacle to economic growth, infrastructure delivery, and job creation in Nigeria.

I warmly congratulate Prime Minister Narendra Modi @narendramodi on the historic milestone of becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister. This remarkable achievement reflects the enduring confidence and trust the people of India have reposed in his leadership over three consecutive mandates. His dedication to public service, commitment to national development, and influential leadership on the global stage continue to inspire millions worldwide. Beyond being a great friend of Nigeria, Prime Minister Modi is a personal friend and trusted ally whom I can always count on. Over the years, I have come to deeply admire his wisdom, courage, and commitment to the progress and prosperity of his nation. As a distinguished recipient of Nigeria’s national honour, the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON), he has also contributed immensely to strengthening the bonds of friendship and cooperation between our two countries. On behalf of the Government and people of Nigeria, I wish Prime Minister Modi continued good health, wisdom, and success as he leads India to even greater heights. — Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President, Federal Republic of Nigeria Presidential Villa, Abuja June 9, 2026

@gbidab @realkenokonkwo @Zim09905110 I watched those videos and it was shocking how a man can make a 180° turn on two individuals without blinking an eye. He's indeed a terrible guy.

@realkenokonkwo @Zim09905110 @realkenokonkwo I don't fancy either Gbajue, or Kojoli, but you've not been able to say how Obi and Atiku suddenly became the opposites of what you said they were before within some months, without changing positions or occupying new offices and Nigerians are highly interested.

It has been brought to my notice that there is a letter circulating online from the hypocrite, Peter Obi, and his Lawyers that I should pay him N5b. Hahaha! If Peter Obi is looking for money to campaign, he should privately ask me for assistance, not come from extortion, and I will help him. I did so when I was his Spokesperson paying for my flight tickets and booking for my hotel accommodation to some of our campaigns. I have not read the letter. Let me sound this note of warning, the Lawyers must take responsibility for any information I may have to divulge, which I acquired as a spokesperson, but which by my conscience I have not shared with anyone. My principle is that I do not use any confidential information I share with anyone against the person except the person who becomes unintelligent enough to tow the line of foolishness. Anyone who decides to sue his former Spokesperson for defamation is indeed very unwise. I will reply to the letter whenever I have the time to read it later in the day. Please send it here if you have it. It will be a shame to Peter Obi and his Lawyers if they do not take this case to court. I don't have time or patience for scammers. According to Obunike Ohaegbu, "I am Obunike Ohaegbu, aspirant for Nnewi North/Nnewi South Ekwusigo Federal Constituency and I am saying that I was scammed and the party blames PO."

@realkenokonkwo @Zim09905110 I can see how you made a 180° turn on Obi and Atiku in the videos. You are indeed a great man (without conscience).

@Zim09905110 I agree with you that lawyers have levels. Go and ask people what it means that someone made second class upper with honours in Law School. By the grace of God, that is who Kenneth Okonkwo is.

@NigeriaNDCHQ I see a lot of comments here saying Theo is an Atiku boy. Obi was once an Atiku boy also. If Obi can become the NDC presidential candidate, Theo can be its Director of Communication.

When I placed the Renewed Hope Agenda before Nigerians, I did not speak of housing in vague terms. I gave my word that this administration would work to make decent homes affordable again, and that a hardworking family, after years of paying rent, would finally have a path to a house of its own. Let me account for that promise plainly, by juxtaposing what we pledged beside what we have actually achieved. 1/
