@iamHSDickson @JayRomee_ I love this good news

Yesterday, it was a pleasure and an honour to receive my brothers and respected political figures in Nigeria, Their Excellencies, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, CON, and Peter Obi, CON, into the NDC. We warmly welcome them and trust that they will join us in building a formidable, ideologically driven party for generations to come — one that embodies the true spirit of selfless service to the people. Congratulations to them. We also extend our gratitude to all Nigerians for their continued support and prayers. ~HSD

@PeterObi Sir I am rightly standing with you in any decision u take

Fellow Nigerians, good morning. I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you. Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances. We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal. More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism. We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power. Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise. Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them. However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building. Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated. And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions. There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline? Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from. Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@cj_techguy @Pharmacio001 You are very correct my brother but greed won't make him see that and step down for Peter Obi

@duke4first @Pharmacio001 This man clearly has nothing to offer Nigeria

How I wish Peter Obi had a mindset like that of the North. Kwankwaso, a northerner, accepted to be his VP, but Obi said no to Atiku, who is also from the North. Kwankwaso surpasses Obi in many ways, yet he accepted the VP ticket. Obi, who is below Atiku, said no. Why can’t Obi reciprocate the same love and respect that Kwankwaso is showing him to Atiku?

@jon_d_doe The man is a greedy man 😡

Imagine if Atiku had stepped aside for Obi in 2023 and supported him. Tinubu would not be President by now. No amount of rigging would have stopped Peter Obi from being president. Atiku's ego is depriving Nigerians of the opportunity to be led by who they want. End.

@ruffydfire Oga Ruffy relax Good News is coming, We don't need greedy men in the New Nigeria Project

Whats going on with the opposition

@Arewa_Source Then Go ahead and vote for him y are u crying out loud here Tinubu has not even finished his first term u all are already dying of hunger and starvation, you have not seen anything I pray he wins 2nd term that is when u will know the difference between 12 and one dozen.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a better Candidate than Peter Obi. If today you bring Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi for Northerners to choose, we will massively vote for Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

@HAHayatu This man u can lie, nothing of such is happening, you're scared because u know Akitu is already a loser. Nigeria will be OK and Must be OK

Kwankwaso never expected this backlash from the north he brags about. Everywhere you go is curses on him for an attempt at dividing the north, it has not even happened but people are angry with him. He thought the north are like his sheeps that will follow him blindly.

@KwankwasoRM The Preparation movement that will lead the Ok movement to the Villa has started everyone sit down and relax this Men knows what they are doing and they will lead us right 👍.

Clarification on My Political Position We have noted recent media reports and discussions suggesting a possible realignment within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to the current challenges facing the party. In light of the misleading narratives in the public domain, I wish to state categorically that no final decision has been taken regarding my political future or that of my political associates. The recent Supreme Court judgment, while affirming the legitimacy of the David Mark-led National Working Committee (NWC), also remitted the matter back to the High Court. This has left the party in a precarious position. In addition, the Federal High Court has recently ruled to delegitimise the party’s recent convention. The Attorney General of the Federation has also strangely applied to a Federal High Court to deregister the ADC. We left the NNPP due to externally influenced legal problems that made our stay perilous. The ADC has now been also forced into this difficulty. Consequently, like other major stakeholders, we have commenced wide-ranging consultations — including with leaders from the NDC, PRP and others to explore the best options for protecting our democratic interests. We shall announce our decision in the soonest possible time. On the issue of presidential candidacy, I wish to recall my consistent record as a committed democrat. In the 2014 APC presidential primary, I came second to President Muhammadu Buhari (whom I fully supported to victory), with Atiku Abubakar third, Rochas Okorocha fourth, and the late Sam Nda-Isaiah fifth. Similarly, in 2019, I contested the PDP presidential ticket and immediately supported the winner, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, serving as the campaign’s coordinator in the North. I have always placed national interest and party unity above personal ambition. Furthermore, the ADC is yet to zone its presidential ticket or take any decision on a candidate. I have therefore neither declared any intention to run for president nor endorsed any aspirant. All speculations to the contrary are premature and unfounded. My absence from the two recent ADC stakeholders’ meetings was due to unavoidable personal commitments. I promptly communicated my apologies to the party leadership. We shall continue to engage constructively at all levels. Any definitive position on our political direction will be communicated formally through official channels at the appropriate time. Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, PhD, FNSE Former Governor, Kano State Former Minster of Defence

@Waspapping_ U always talk and reason like a child u need to sit down and listen to yourself speak guy u are a disappointment to brotherhood

The Igbos and the Southeast will never have a northern political ally like Atiku Abubakar again. This betrayal will be remembered by every northern politician in the years to come.

@BOGbadams @PeterObi Shape within a minute it will be done

Dear Obidients, Don't forget to DE-REGISTER yourself from the ADC website if @PeterObi leaves that party. If he makes any such announcement, deregister IMMEDIATELY. Don't delay.

@PeterObi Oh my God may his soul rest in peace Amen

With profound sadness, I received the shocking news of the passing of my dear elder brother Mike Okaka in USA. On behalf of my family and the Obidient family, I extend my deepest condolences and sincerely mourn his loss. Mike was a devoted supporter of the Obidient movement and a passionate believer in the vision of a new Nigeria. His dedication, energy, and unwavering commitment to the ideals of good governance were truly remarkable. He stood firm in the collective struggle for a better nation and made meaningful contributions toward the cause we all cherish. May God Almighty, who has called him home, grant him eternal rest, and may He comfort his family, loved ones, and all of us with the strength and fortitude to bear this painful and irreplaceable loss. -PO

@graciouskante When we say a thing we stand by it

So, all these while we have been shouting that it is PO, or nothing, all these PDP banger Boys thought we are joking. Honestly, i don't understand why there are so much cries, and wailings all over the tl. For those at the back, it is either PO or PO.

@HAHayatu He has defeated Tinubu before he will do it again.

You cannot stand primary election but you think you can defeat Tinubu. Imagine the audacity. Honestly all this while I only see them as added advantage not a compulsion. Good riddance.

@HAHayatu Go and file an appeal we are waiting good bye to ADC

This NDC that some people want to go to, their leadership on INEC portal is all based on court order. This means should an appeal be filed and overturned the party will seize to exist.

@HonShield Bro Relax it will work out for our good

The whole essence of the coalition has been defeated. Good luck to the opposition, and congratulations in advance to Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

@Arewa_Source Will u keep quiet 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, once you decide to leave ADC and follow Peter Obi to become his running mate in another party, then your career as a politician is over

@graciouskante We are not settling for less Obi or Nothing . ADC will learn the hard way

David Mark was probably overrated. They guy fell flat. So, under his watch, he would watch ADC implode, and disintegrate?

With this Men on the ballot Tinubu is a One time President

Atiku and the Coalition can never do without Peter Obi. ADC won't survive it if Obi leave
