OBI will never disrespect ATIKU... They communicate regularly and I wonder why you can't respect elders who are pursuing their own dreams... You're bitter that you couldn't bully ATIKU successfully. Reserve your energy for TINUBU... ATIKU is not your enemy...

Who remembers Dayo Ekong making mockery of PO just because of Abure, the same woman who wrote a full epistle telling Peter Obi to 'pause and ponder' because of his 'Labour today, ADC tomorrow' jumping and 'waning influence' after losing Edo, Imo, and Anambra...
Fast forward to 2026: She herself dumped LP like hot garri and jumped to NDC, where she quickly grabbed the title National Vice Chairman South West. Pastor, the grace wey you advise Obi to check... e don check you first abi?
The woman wey call Obi 'disruptive and self-serving' is now busy serving herself a new party position.
Hypocrisy never tasted this anointed!

Reflections on the Labour Party's Challenges: A Call for Peter Obi to Pause and Ponder By Pst Dr Mrs Dayo Ekong, State Chairman, Labour Party, Lagos State As the State Chairman of the Labour Party in Lagos State, I have watched with growing concern the internal dynamics and external perceptions plaguing our great party. The Labour Party, once a beacon of hope for the masses, is now grappling with issues that threaten its unity and relevance in Nigeria's political landscape. Chief among these is the meddlesome role and evidently waning influence of our former presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi. While I respect his contributions and the passion he ignited in 2023, it is time for a candid conversation. Mr. Obi must recognize the grace that propelled him in the last election cycle—a divine and collective favor from the party and the electorate—and reflect on how his recent actions are eroding that very foundation. Let us rewind to 2023. Peter Obi enjoyed an extraordinary wave of support, not just from the Labour Party's structures but from a broad coalition of Nigerians yearning for change. Despite the controversies surrounding the election results, where many believe he was robbed of victory, his outing was undeniably successful. He garnered millions of votes, particularly from the youth and disillusioned voters, because the party rallied behind him, and the electorate saw him as a fresh alternative to the status quo.This grace was a combination of factors: the party's platform, grassroots mobilization, and a genuine public desire for integrity in leadership. It was this synergy that allowed him to shine brightly, even in defeat. However, fast-forward to today, and the narrative has shifted. Peter Obi's influence in the Nigerian polity appears to be waning, as Nigerians grow increasingly tired and wary of what some perceive as inconsistent antics and political maneuvering. His interventions, once seen as principled, now risk being viewed as disruptive and self-serving, alienating allies and diminishing his appeal. This is not mere speculation; it is evident in recent electoral outcomes where his endorsements have failed to deliver victories, signaling a loss of the magnetic pull he once commanded. Take the 2024 Edo State governorship election as a prime example. Amid internal party tensions, Peter Obi chose to campaign vigorously for Olumide Akpata, pitching his tent against the preferences of the National Working Committee led by Julius Abure, who wanted to adhere to the political leanings of zoning which the Edo electorate tilted towards, but because of his issues with Abure he stood firm behind Akpata. While Akpata was the official Labour Party candidate, Obi's involvement highlighted factional rifts, with his support seemingly at odds with key party figures. The result? Akpata lost woefully to the APC's Monday Okpebholo, securing only a fraction of the votes despite Obi's rallies and endorsements in Benin and beyond.This defeat in Edo, a state where Labour had shown promise, underscores how Obi's influence no longer guarantees electoral success. Similarly, in the 2023 Imo State gubernatorial election, Obi threw his weight behind Senator Athan Achonu, the Labour Party's candidate. Achonu, backed by Obi's visibility and campaign efforts, was positioned as a strong contender against the incumbent, Hope Uzodimma. Yet, the outcome was another resounding loss, with Achonu failing to unseat the APC governor in a landslide defeat. These back-to-back failures in Imo and Edo raise questions about the effectiveness of Obi's political strategy and whether his touch still carries the transformative power it did in 2023. The most telling blow came recently in the Anambra State by-elections, particularly in Onitsha—Peter Obi's own backyard and supposed stronghold. Here, we witnessed his sudden switch of allegiance, embodying the "Labour today, ADC tomorrow" shenanigans that have confused supporters and diluted party loyalty.

WORKERS’ DAY ADDRESS
By Pastor Dayo Akin-Taylor Ekong
Deputy Chairman, NDC South West.
My fellow citizens, distinguished workers, and the resilient men and women who form the backbone of our great nation,
Today, we gather to celebrate Workers’ Day. This is a moment to honor the dignity of labor, the strength of perseverance, and the spirit of sacrifice that drives our society forward. This day is not merely a public holiday; it is a tribute to every hand that builds, every mind that innovates, and every voice that strives for progress.
To our teachers shaping the future, our healthcare workers preserving life, our farmers feeding the nation, our artisans, entrepreneurs, civil servants, and countless others whose daily efforts often go unseen. You are the true architects of our collective destiny. Your dedication sustains our economy, strengthens our communities, and inspires hope for generations to come.
Yet, as we celebrate, we must also reflect. The journey of the Nigerian worker has not been without hardship. Many continue to face challenges of economic uncertainty, inadequate wages, limited opportunities, and evolving demands in a rapidly changing world. These realities call not just for recognition, but for action.
As a nation, we must renew our commitment to fairness, equity, and opportunity. Workers deserve not only appreciation, but policies that protect their rights, enhance their welfare, and create pathways for growth. We must invest in skills development, embrace innovation, and ensure that no worker is left behind in the march toward progress.
To the leaders in both public and private sectors, I urge you: let your decisions reflect compassion and justice. Let us build systems that reward diligence, encourage creativity, and uphold the dignity of every worker.
To the workers themselves, I say this: your labor is not in vain. Even in the face of adversity, your resilience is shaping a better tomorrow. Stand united, remain steadfast, and continue to believe in the value of your contribution.
As we look ahead, let us envision a nation where hard work is rewarded, where opportunity is accessible, and where every citizen can thrive with dignity and purpose.
On this Workers’ Day, may we recommit ourselves to service, to excellence, and to one another.
May God bless our workers, and may God bless our nation.
Thank you
Victoria Island, Nigeria 🇳🇬 English

Every other day, innocent Nigerians, including your fellow Christians in the North, are being brutally murdered, yet the president shows up at the airport and turns back within minutes. And somehow, you have nothing to say about that. No outrage, no questions, no accountability.
Christianity is built on the foundation of love and compassion for people. Peter Obi, for his part, has consistently used his personal resources to support the needy, donate to schools, and show up for people at their point of need. Yet he’s the one you always find something to criticize.
You haven’t shown any proof that he stole public funds or mismanaged state resources. No one has credibly come forward to challenge his record or dispute what he’s said about his time in office.
“If anyone finds anywhere I stole government money, I will stop campaigning”. Till today, in this era of political witch hunting, has anyone come out to say they have.
It’s one thing not to support him. It’s another thing entirely to be dishonest about his decent nature.

The truth is that, if Peter Obi contests for Presidency again outside the coalition, he won’t win the election, and to be honest, it’s meaningless to contest for an election knowing fully well you’re not gonna win. If he and Atiku contest separately again, Bola will win again.

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

“Peter Obi should leave the ADC immediately because you won’t meet the INEC timeline in ADC, and even if you do, they won’t give you the ticket. Atiku has vowed to hijack it.”

@PO_GrassRootM @tonyajah Your Excellency, note that any separation between you, Alh. Atiku, Peter Obi and Amechi, Tinubu will win the election before 12pm.
Except if you people are working for Tinubu secretly, the most saleable ticket is Atiku/Obi.
Good luck 🙏
