Went to bed, thinking about the football. Woke up about five times through the night, thinking about the football. Got up this morning, thinking about the football. It's just all consuming. This season, it's going to be the end of all of us I swear 😂

When I say "PITAKWA" You shout "OK!" PITAKWA!

"The condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria, informed my decision to leave ADC for NDC." Yesterday, I formally joined the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), alongside my dear brother, Engr. Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, with one clear purpose: to continue the struggle for a new Nigeria built on justice, competence, accountability, and compassion for the ordinary Nigerian. As I stated yesterday, this decision was not made out of anger, personal ambition, or convenience. It came after deep reflection on the present condition of our nation and the urgent need to rescue Nigeria from the dangerous path it is currently heading. Over the years, I have remained steadfast in my conviction that politics should never be about individuals, positions, or personal gain. It must be about the people, especially the millions of Nigerians who today can no longer afford necessities, whose businesses are collapsing, whose children are losing hope, and whose future is becoming increasingly uncertain. I left the ADC for the same reason I left the Labour Party: the severe, orchestrated litigation and internal crises deliberately designed to ensure that I, alongside many other notable individuals, do not effectively participate in the electoral process. I sincerely appreciate and remain deeply grateful to the Leadership of ADC for the opportunity to work together in pursuit of a better Nigeria. I am particularly grateful to ADC Chairman Senator David Mark for his exceptional Leadership. I also deeply appreciate my Leader and elder brother YE, Atiku Abubakar, as well as other respected leaders within the party. As we join the NDC, I sincerely appeal to the Nigerian Government against the encouragement of unresolved litigations and the infusion of crises within political parties. Democracy must never become a weapon against the people. A healthy democracy thrives on strong institutions, credible alternatives, and the freedom of citizens to make choices without intimidation, manipulation, or fear. Opposition parties must not be weakened or destroyed, because when democracy loses balance, the people ultimately suffer. Nigeria today is passing through one of the most difficult periods in its history. Poverty is rising. Hunger is widespread. Insecurity continues to threaten lives and livelihoods. Businesses are shutting down daily. Our young people are becoming discouraged, and many citizens have lost faith in the system. At a time like this, leadership must be driven not by propaganda or division, but by competence, capacity, character, and compassion. Our decision to join the NDC is therefore not an abandonment of values, but a continuation of the same mission we have always stood for: building a Nigeria where leadership is about service, where public resources are managed responsibly, where institutions function independently, and where every Nigerian, regardless of tribe, religion, region, or social status, can live with dignity, security, and hope. I remain committed to working with all Nigerians of goodwill across political, ethnic, and religious lines. The task before us is bigger than any individual or political party. It is about the future of our children and the survival of our dear nation. I thank Nigerians, especially our youths and women, for remaining peaceful, resilient, and hopeful despite the enormous challenges confronting the country. I urge you not to lose faith in Nigeria. Nations do not change because people surrender to hopelessness; they change because people continue to believe, continue to sacrifice, and continue to stand for what is right. A new Nigeria is still POssible. -PO

NDC… Get strong Governorship candidates across the states. Set up high level political committees to lobby political gatekeepers across states. Start planning for each polling unit mapping with strong team. You have 6 months to be formidable.

@UNOFFICIALFACT I would have loved the National Convention to hold in Kano

The Next 48 hours for NDC. (1) Notionwide registration of members, and a massive update of her online platform to accommodate millons of registrations. (2) Rent or buy a building in Abuja for it's new National party headquarters. (3) Get party secretariats in all 36 states of the Federation, 774 LGA's, and all political wards in Nigeria. (4) NDC has slatted may 6th for it's submission of it's party's register to INEC. For that reason, the party must immediately commence preparation for it's may 9th National convention, which will take place just 3 days after submission of it's party's register to INEC, to meet up INEC's may 10th 21 days deadline for party primaries. NDC is expected to endorse the consensus candidature of Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso at the National convention, and also ratify the party's National Exco. Sadly the likes of Wike and his APC gang may deny the party the use of Eagle Square or any government public space in Abuja or Lagos, due to the short time in notice. NDC should move her convention to Bayelsa state if possible, or get a private event centre in Abuja immediately. For those who don't know, the current NDC leadership are largely placeholders on behalf of the party. Majority wil be replaced on the 9th of may at the party's National convention by nominees of Obi, Kwankwaso, Seriake Dickson, and other top stakeholders of the party to form the new party EXCO and leadership.

Some of the house of representative members that joined Peter Obi in the ADC, have now decamped to the NDC and they are OK.

Peter Obi and Kwankwaso arrive for their defection to NDC.

@PeterObi You no need too much talk, my leader. Which cult you wan put me like this? Vikings or Alora? I don buy like 7 berets. Bam me tomorrow, mi Lord. 🧎🙏 If you decide to leave that cult tomorrow, unbam me and bam me inside another one. Na you get me, mi Lord. 🧎 🙏

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

@HAHayatu You see that 282,733 in Kaduna state, am OBIdiently inside

Rivers state is number 4 in ADC registration.l, the only southern state in top 10. Well done Rotimi Ameachi you tried to bring your people while other were doing X spaces .

Harnessing Youth Potential Through Sport. I followed the recent celebrity boxing match where Carter Efe emerged victorious over the reigning champion, Portable. I congratulate the winner on his determination and commend both participants for embracing the spirit of sportsmanship. Such healthy competition, grounded in respect and fairness, is a culture we must consciously imbibe as a nation, especially in a time when unity and mutual respect are greatly needed. It is worthy to note that what began as light-hearted entertainment is rapidly evolving into a platform that commands widespread attention, particularly among young Nigerians. Beyond the rings, it reflects the energy, creativity, and resilience of our youth. More importantly, it has the capacity to discover and nurture talents who, with the right support and structure, could become the Anthony Joshuas of the future, placing Nigeria firmly on the global sporting map. It is therefore important that we look more deeply into such events. With deliberate investment, proper regulation, and institutional backing, this emerging space can be transformed into a viable industry - one that creates employment, instills discipline, and channels youthful energy into productive ventures. In doing so, we not only entertain, but also empower, building pathways for sustainable national development. A new is POssible. -PO

Everton, Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Brentford rise!!!! Whichever of these teams take points from City, I will buy their authentic jersey.

E better pass you wei go sit down for bench like delap of Chelsea. Even as Chelsea dey short of striker options, dey no go consider delap like you.

There was a time these guys were saying that Peter Obi should either settle for VP or leave the coalition. There’re rumours now of Obi leaving the coalition, & they’re crying. 🤣🤣 I’ve never seen something like this before in my life Walai. 😄

Both

See you tomorrow 💪. Nigeria will be ok

An 8-month campaign in any political party, Peter Obi can mobilize to defeat the incumbent APC. Bookmark this. The song sweet die 😁

Let me remind you that no one is talking about Labour Party anymore. Before PO join ADC, the Party has no momentum at all. We will find out what momentum is left if for any reason he leaves the Party. Also PO is ten steps ahead of all of them. They want to use him for momentum but the Obidients won’t allow that. The momentum is PO and he is the man. If you don’t want it our way, use your own momentum. Your cry and emotion won’t change it. Obidients and PO are the price and you must dance to our tone. Good morning Everyone, have a wonderful day and God bless You and Yours, Amen 🙏

Peter Obi leads, we follow! ✅

The Obidient movement’s biggest problem right now is how easily some supporters amplify narratives crafted by Atiku's boys positioning for 2027. It is embarrassing that in 2026, some of you are still naive. Peter Obi is your leader. Put your trust in him till the end.
