I was glad to participate in this important discussion.

@Imranmuhdz His deputy, Chinyere Ekomaru has already resigned.

APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda Screens Imo Governor Hope Uzodinma for 2027 Imo West Senatorial Bid If Governor Hope Uzodinma wins the Imo West Senatorial seat in the January 2027 National Assembly election and is sworn in June 2027, he will resign the governorship approximately 6–7 months before the end of his term (which runs until mid-January 2028). His deputy would then take over as Governor for the remaining period.

I ask you, my people, to empower me as your president and commander-in-chief. I will be in charge. I have the requirements for correct leadership: character, competence, commitment, compassion, hard work, honesty, humanity, and humility.

@renoomokri I am only responding to this because I have the economic knowledge to correct dis misinformation. Using PPP (~₦211 per intl$), that same 45L in PPP terms equals only ₦17,000 in Nigeria's price level. While that same 45L actually costs ₦58,500 in Nigeria (93% of our min. wage)

@Enchris15 @kingmafo070 @abba_hamani @ADCngcoalition @ADCVanguard_ @aliyu_isma99557 @jrnaib2 @Atiku_MV @Ubando001 @Pharmacio001 Yes, I think there is. Vice presidency is limited to 2 terms like the president, as per the constitution

@kingmafo070 @abba_hamani @ADCngcoalition @ADCVanguard_ @aliyu_isma99557 @jrnaib2 @Atiku_MV @Ubando001 @Pharmacio001 There is no constitutional provision that bars a former vice president from being elected again as vice president

Nobody promised Peter Obi vice-presidential slot and Atiku Abubakar presidential slot in ADC Coalition. It was we political analysts after carefully collected realistic data across all geopolitical regions in Nigeria and analysed it without being biased and sentimental. We now realised the only possible way for ADC to defeat rugged Jagaban is to join the two elephants together. Our analysis was centered on the key factors that determine Nigeria election. Religion Tribe Region National spread and Competence. Unfortunately, Atiku Abubakar has already consumed his two term constitutional right to be vice-president. The only option left for him is to be president, while Peter Obi was fortunate to have the constitutional right to be vice-president and president. In this regard, to avoid division in the camp of both candidates, the coalition have to field Atiku as a candidate while Obi follow as a running mate with a future agreement to lead the party ticket after 2027 victory. Although the coalition are masters in their game, they may see their victory difference from what we analyse only time will tell. If, at the end of the day, Obi is the only candidate that can guarantee them victory, the delegates of ADC across the nation will decide to vote him as their flag bearer. If the coalition see Atiku or Ameachi as their sole chance to win the election, delegates will also give them their votes in the internal democratic process. Social media abuse and blackmailing won't give Atiku or Obi presidential tickets. The only way your preferred candidate can get the ticket is when you pick a membership card of ADC and lobby your way as delegate representing your ward. For the opposition supporters, remember your real enemy is APC and Tinubu, not Atiku or Obi. I remain your political analyst who started politics at the age of seven. Cc. Haruna Salihu Akpo.

@thecableng I think we all know who he is talking about...

"If you have money to buy Rolls-Royce, you should take that money and go put up an industry in your locality or any part of the country. Everybody has a private jet. Those private jets should be in industries so we can create jobs." — Alike Dangote, chairman of Dangote Group

@pearlythingz I don't understand. Is she saying being bald is an insult now? My oh my...

@gen_gods @therealchurchg1 The problem is that the leaders don't come out of nowhere. The leaders are selected from among the people, and the more corrupt the people are, the more corrupt the leaders will be.

@therealchurchg1 Anybody that citizens are the problem instead of the politicians obviously is missing the point. Human being is by nature meant to follow examples. If we have good leaders leading by example, we wouldn't have criminals, prostitute, etc. Or at least not as we have them now

@RepRileyMoore Dear Rep. Moore, there has been an uptick in school children abductions since Trump promised to intervene. I think the terrorists are building up human shields in anticipation of aerial attacks. Please advise the POTUS to act hard and fast, sweet as he calls it!

Devastating news coming out of Nigeria. At least 215 children and 12 teachers were kidnapped from St Mary's Catholic school in Nigeria. This is beyond horrific. Vague statements from the Nigerian government aren’t going to cut it any more. We must do everything we can to save our brothers and sisters in Christ.

@Peter4Nigeria @nassnigeria @NGRSenate These points are somewhat useless. They should just transmit votes electronically in real time, finish. Our vote must count doesn’t equate to that.

@SaharaReporters Why is everyone shouting? Is anything wrong with the proposed date? I think it normally would have been held January or February of 2027, so nothing wrong pushing it to Nov/Dec 2026 to give time for all the election petitions to be resolved before swearing in.

@PeterObi I wish @officialADCNig_ should embrace direct public polling for presidential primaries instead of the delegate system. Let's choose the most popular candidate, not the richest. Election will be over before 12pm on election day. Let's get the most popular person, not deep pocket

Humanity is paramount in my politics, no street urchins Lately, I have heard a few people say that those who follow Peter Obi are low-class Nigerians, and some have even gone as far as calling them “street urchins” and people of no value. It is deeply unfortunate that in today’s Nigeria, citizens now look down on fellow citizens in such a degrading manner. I have never and will never look down on anyone, except to lift them up. After all, we can only rise by lifting others. My involvement in politics has never been about associating with the so-called high and mighty, but about standing with the ordinary Nigerians whose voices have been silenced and whose resources have been stolen by the same “big names” who now parade themselves with all sorts of titles and names. No Nigerian is of no value. No Nigerian is a street urchin. It speaks volumes about the state of our nation that everyday Nigerians, are now battered by poverty and hardship, to the point their leaders refer to them as of no value, and urchins. Every Nigerian deserves dignity, opportunity, and care. That is why I will continue to do my part to ensure that the ordinary Nigerians enjoy a better life, one built on access to education, quality healthcare, and genuine efforts to lift them out of poverty. True leadership is not about mocking the weak, it is about lifting them up. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Today, Sunday, October 5, 2025, I participated as a guest speaker at the first Ubuntu Africa Youth Assembly webinar series of the Global Peace Foundation under the organisation's Africa Renaissance Initiative. The event took place at the Global Peace Foundation headquarters in Washington, DC. I interacted with many young people across the continent who asked insightful questions about ethical leadership, accountability, good governance, and youth active participation in sustainable development and human flourishing. The Ubuntu Africa Youth Assembly aims to foster and strengthen ethical leadership, empowering African youth to become valuable actors in African affairs now and in the future through intentional engagement among themselves and with African elders who possess proven moral authority. It also aims to provide a continental platform where African youth and elders engage in ethical leadership formation and intergenerational dialogue, inspired by Ubuntu values, and foster collaboration for Africa's sustainable future. The webinar provided me with the opportunity to share ideas on continental transformation, grounded in the ideal of Ubuntu, "I am because we are." Collectively, we can build a better Africa when we apply the fundamental values of Ubuntu, caring for one another, living for others and our society, and dignifying our most valuable asset: the millions of young people across the continent. -PO

The danger of making crime a norm. Whenever I talk about Nigeria being a crime scene, those who are part of the criminality and their hirelings will quickly start their noise-making, attacking and blackmailing me. But how do you tell people that those whose integrity, character and behaviour are supposed to be exemplary and emulated in society have become the very source of the nation’s decay? How do you tell young Nigerians to be honest and upright when those they are supposed to emulate are the least to be emulated because they are criminals and dishonest? Certificate forgery is a serious criminal offence in all countries of the world. It is one of the most corrupt practices heavily punished. In one of my knowledge-seeking visits to Indonesia early this year, after interacting with several ministers responsible for Health, Villages, SMEs, Planning, and Education, as well as the Vice President and President Joko Widodo on development, I met with the Chairman of the General Elections Commission of Indonesia. I asked him about the educational qualifications required to participate in elections from local government to the state legislature, governorship, and up to the presidential level. He openly stated these qualifications to me. My team and I then asked a simple question: What happens if someone contests for public office with a forged certificate or did not attend the school he claimed he attended? He looked at me, surprised and shocked, and said, “That attracts immediate disqualification and prosecution. It is a criminal offence. He added, “If someone can forge a certificate, how can that person be trusted to lead others?” But in my country Nigeria, though the laws are same as in other countries, that forgery is punished by immediate disqualification, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) makes no effort to scrutinize certificates before the elections, over looks complaints of forgery and when you challenged after the elections, court will dismiss the serious criminal issues as "pre-election matters" without giving this criminal act appropriate punishment. INEC, even after the elections, does not bother to revisit or investigate these serious offences before the next election. The other concerning issue from all these is how criminals and dishonest people scale through all the scrutiny layers -security, parliament and government apparatus set to handle such. Even more disturbing, amounting to double tragedy, is that most of these dishonest people swore to an affidavit before a law court attesting to the authenticity of the documents they presented. We are now preparing for the 2027 general elections. INEC have enough time to investigate past complaints about various forms of forgery and false claims. Our Electoral amendments must include that anyone intending to contest for any public office, whether an incumbent or a new candidate, must submit all academic certificates to the electoral body immediately after party primaries, at least six months before the election. These certificates, alongside details of schools attended, what was studied and years of study, should be made public for verification within 90 days. This process must also apply to appointed officials, Ministers and even aides, because when dishonesty starts from the top, it spreads to every level of governance, just like it’s happening now. We must deal with certificate forgery holistically with the seriousness and level of criminality it deserves. Criminal offences should not be dismissed as a mere procedural matter. We must end the era where forgery and deceit are rewarded with power. True leadership must begin with truth. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Lagos Demolitions: Law, Justice, and Compassion A week ago, a team of concerned leaders visited the demolished Aspamda Market in Lagos. Since then I have carefully followed the reactions trailing the demolitions, our visit, and feel that other extraneous variables are affecting our compassion for each other as Nigerians. The situation calls for deep reflection on the relationship between law, justice, and compassion in governance. I recall an incident in the nineties, when I bought a house in the UK at 66 Donnington Road, NW10. While the building was still being refurbished, some squatters moved in. When I consulted my lawyer, he advised that I should write to them formally and approach the court. It would have been unthinkable for the state to simply wake up one morning and demolish people’s houses - especially when such houses were neither used for crime nor taken for any overriding public purpose. Those seeking to justify the current demolitions in Aspamda Market Lagos, and similar situations across Nigeria must be reminded that the law is not an end in itself; it is a means to ensure order, peace, and the protection of human dignity. When the law becomes an instrument to inflict undeserved pain - enforced without compassion or regard for human welfare - it ceases to serve justice. Even if, for the sake of argument, some of the affected traders failed to obtain the proper approvals, which is unlikely, was demolition the only option? If opportunities for regularisation truly existed, as some have argued, why were they not pursued? Does it truly serve justice to destroy billions of naira worth of investments and livelihoods when less destructive remedies could have sufficed? It is like punishing a man who stole a bicycle with death instead of imprisonment - a sentence grossly disproportionate to the offence. That is what these demolitions represent: a punishment that far outweighs any alleged infraction. My appeal is simple: governance must always balance law with compassion. A government should not pride itself on being legally correct if, in the process, it becomes morally wrong. Justice, to be just, must be tempered with mercy. These demolitions are a test of our collective humanity, justice, and compassion. Power must always be exercised with empathy - for it is in how we treat the vulnerable that the true character of leadership is revealed. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
