@topysala @PO_GrassRootM You are right! Nobody moving from party to party has ever won an election. You just confirmed that all the people that jumped from PDP to APC, and from other parties never won any elections. Master Riggers! Abi?. We are not expecting governors defecting to APC to win any election

@PO_GrassRootM What history wouldn't forget is the desperation of your principal peter obi whom instead of building a formidable political party that can fetch him his aspiration he kept jumping from party to party-history is clear no such character has ever won an election.

History will not forgive Julius Abure for betraying the trust of Nigerians and siding with Bola Tinubu for personal gain.

@aonanuga1956 If Obi doesn't matter, you will not be panicking like this. Obi is coming and there's fear in the camp of PBAT. We move where life is.

I watched as Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, formally joined the ADC after abandoning the party he had used to pursue his ill-fated presidential ambition. About three years after the 2023 election, Obi, the wandering politician — who moved from APGA to PDP to Labour and now ADC — still sounded bitter about coming third. He continues to claim he was robbed of victory, even though empirical analyses of the poll showed he could not have won and was fortunate to even emerge third because of the anomalous polling figures recorded for him in his South East region. At his event, Obi’s bitterness was evident. What concerned me most were his references to books, professors, and other nations to buttress his belief that he has learnt from the masters and that Nigeria should be entrusted to him because he claims to know the secrets of national development. This posturing should be taken with a pinch of salt, coming from a politician who was an abysmal failure in a small state like Anambra, which he governed for 8 years. Because Obi sorely lacks the leadership pedigree, beyond being a successful importer, only the madman he consults in Onitsha would be comfortable handing over Nigeria to him. However, Obi’s reasoning is flawed. Nations are not identical, and what worked in Indonesia or the USA may not necessarily work in Nigeria. No leader can move a country forward by simply copying and pasting models from elsewhere. Nations require original thinkers, not copycats. Homegrown solutions are essential for proper development. This is precisely what President Bola Tinubu has been doing since May 29, 2023—a fact that Obi is too consumed by animosity and his small-mindedness to acknowledge. In less than three years, the Tinubu administration has restructured the economy, eliminated wasteful petrol subsidies, and reduced its dependence on the oil sector. The administration is focusing on gas development and has attracted both foreign and local investment to the industry. Foreign reserves have risen, and the exchange rate has stabilised. Inflation is decelerating. The administration has also embarked on ambitious road projects, such as the Lagos-Calabar and Sokoto-Badagry superhighways, which Obi and his associates consider impossible. With tax reforms beginning in January, the Tinubu administration is set to harmonise the historically fragmented tax regime, increase the tax-to-GDP ratio, enhance revenue, and boost prosperity. For the past two years and seven months, Tinubu has demonstrated effective leadership anchored in strategic policies and reforms. Obi is so blind that he cannot see all these achievements, as he jumped from Labour to ADC, where he will play second fiddle and end up being Atiku’s running mate in 2027, like we witnessed in 2019.

@PeterObi I commend Peter Obi's undying faith in the possibility of a New Nigeria. However, the greatest challenge is that most Nigerians don't believe in Nigeria. Restoring hope in the younger generation is the real task before PO.

As part of my continued consultations in the national interest, yesterday I travelled to Zaria to meet with Professor Ango Abdullahi, a renowned academic, elder statesman, and respected voice in our national discourse. Our conversation centred on the state of our country, the urgent need for unity, and practical pathways to rebuilding Nigeria. We spoke frankly about the challenges confronting our nation and the responsibility of leadership to rise above divisions and work deliberately for the common good of all Nigerians. While in Zaria, at the airport, I met a group of graduating pilots who approached me with enthusiasm and hope for the future. I encouraged them to remain focused, disciplined, and committed to excellence, reminding them that Nigeria needs their skills, integrity, and professionalism. From Zaria, I proceeded to Niger State where I met with former Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida. During a previous visit to him a few months ago, he had discussed a book "Growing Apart" , which portrayed how two nations, Indonesia and Nigeria, with similar trajectories, grow apart. Indonesia became a success story and Nigeria the opposite. He directed that I get the book. On my return trip to the USA, I ensured I obtained an autographed copy directly from the author and yesterday, respectfully presented it to him. Our discussion centred on the country's unity, security and improving the lives of our people. These engagements reaffirm my belief that meaningful progress requires honest dialogue and collective responsibility for the future of our dear country. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@aonanuga1956 Is this how DG DSS conducts security briefing? One on one with the President, no other people?

The Director General of the Department of State Services, DSS, Mr TOSIN Adeola Ajayi briefing President Bola Tinubu on the security situation on Friday night

@NobelPrize Spirituality is the ultimate quest of the soul. However, the fundamental question is, what is the pathway to spirituality? Furthermore, is there a universal definition for spirituality? Spirituality begins with the acknowledgement of the existence of the Creator of the Universe.

“An increase in the material means at the disposal of humanity may even present dangers unless it is accompanied by a corresponding spiritual effort.” Philosopher and author Henri Bergson, awarded the 1927 Nobel Prize in Literature, reflected on the moral challenges of progress in his 1928 Nobel Prize banquet speech. He noted that while the 19th century made tremendous technological advances – from steam to electricity – many assumed these inventions would automatically bring people closer and make society better. Instead, Bergson warned, without a matching effort toward moral and spiritual growth, technology can deepen divisions rather than bridge them. His message still resonates today: our machines may connect us, but only our humanity can unite us. #WorldPhilosophyDay

@ruffydfire Mr Oseni, I don't really see how it matters whether you like Trump and support him or not. Obviously millions of Americans don't like him and didn't vote for him. However millions of Americans like him and voted for him. That's what matter.

Despite his win, I will never still support or like Trump, I think it’s a bleak day for the world. A world where politics of fear and division wins only reminds me of a Hitler like world and the rise of right wing nationalism will only catalyze the forces of evil round the world. My global outlook is that of a plural world,that embraces diversity and looks to hope in place of fear, Trump is the opposite of what I envisage for the world.

The world of the rich and poor of the World. This is a thought that burdens my head

@NigeriaStories Let them start with their estates in Abuja

BREAKING NEWS: Reps seek to regulate outrageous house rents in Nigeria 🇳🇬 Thought on this ?

What is stopping you from pursuing your dreams? Lack of money? This is a real issue for most people. The stories of people who started without money are fascinating. To tell you the truth, the lack of money to pursue one's dream is crushing!

Happy hearty healthy

@PeterObi Manifesto or no manifesto, Peter Obi is the man for the job. Actions speak louder than words or manifesto. Thank you for releasing your manifesto for those who are interested in manifesto. We are interested in credibility, capacity and competence. APC manifesto is worthless.

I have the honour to present our 72-page Manifesto, titled, "It's POssible: Our Pact with Nigerians." This Manifesto, its overarching and visionary policy planks, lay out our mission focus and mandate for securing, uniting and making Nigeria productive.
