I am the Convener of Peter-Obi-Think-Tank (#POTT)

@Jaycn330 @akunnachux That wasn’t necessary. I disagree with him too.

@akunnachux You this unemployed journalist I can see you've been jobless for a while and it's affecting your pocket so your looking for anywhere to collect money.better stick to that rubbish analysis you do for ait and be enjoying their free tea and bread.stupid moron

As predicted. I'll say this for the umpteenth time: Peter Obi has never subjected himself to the rigours of party primaries. Party ticket must be Oshofree! How would a man who avoids primaries like a plague, as C-in-C, subject himself to free and fair elections? How?

@Kasieobi_1 You are beginning to buy into their propaganda . Did they win in 2023? Telling 2023 winner that he won’t win again is a very subjective view. We shall trying again untill we get it better.

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.

@PeterObi Anyi apuo. Our party is PO.

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

@HonShield @donfuna2015 @atiku @PeterObi Obi is the best southerner in ADC. ADC should Zone their ticket to the south. Let Obi contest the primary with other southern candidates. Whoever that wins, we support. Is this too difficult to follow?

Dear Don, you are looking at this from a very pedestrian angle. PO has a job to do; convince everyone to back him. It’s a political contest for goodness sake. If you can’t convince people within your party, how do you convince others during the feral election? We should be hammering more on what needs to be done and not this mentality.

Dear @atiku and @PeterObi, how can your egos be bigger than the struggle to save Nigeria?

@ruffydfire @Cruxcrypto9 Happy birthday, Ruf.

Happy birthday to me

@ADCVanguard_ Stop tweeting. Tweets won’t work. Hit the street.

BREAKING: ADC has released INEC’s affidavit dated 12 September 2025 that affirmed David Mark led NWC Please pay particular attention to Clauses 14 to 19, which affirm that the leadership transition had already been completed and recognized by INEC, and that such internal party matters fall outside the scope of judicial interference. It is now crystal clear that Tinubu’s APC and the embattled INEC Chairman, Prof. Amupitan, are using INEC to push a one-party system in Nigeria. This development raises grave concerns about the independence, neutrality, and credibility of the electoral process in Nigeria. When an institution constitutionally expected to act as an impartial umpire is seen to be taking sides in internal party affairs, it strikes at the very foundation of democratic fairness and public trust. No democracy can survive where state institutions are turned into political weapons against opposition parties. What is happening before our eyes is not just an attack on ADC, but a dangerous attempt to weaken multiparty democracy and silence alternative political voices in Nigeria. Every patriotic citizen must understand the seriousness of this moment. We call on all Nigerians to rise to the occasion and save our democracy.

@Morris_Monye Most of those properties are not his. They belong to politicians who can’t buy with their names. You think many of them that wept during his funeral did only because of his death? Many wept because of lost investment.

Herbert Wigwe owned 106 choice properties in London. The only African on the top 10 list. We might never truly understand how much wealth he left behind.

Screwdriver seller report is the reason Pres. Trump bombed Sokoto, not killings at Yelwata, Jos, Kaduna. Lower intelligence stereotype, is that you?

Stop looking at me like you love me

@alstacs @igirigi_87 @ruffydfire You are wrong. If people from Cross River did not apply and choose UCTH, they would not be sent to UCTH. If 15 Igbos chose UCTH and the Efik people opted for LUTH, LUTH will get Efik based on vacancies and UCTH will get Igbos based on vacancies. We should do better.

@igirigi_87 @ruffydfire I don't need to be paid to inform and educate you. I actually recruit, interns, resident doctors and consultants. You want a Nigeria that works, it's in little things like these.

Complaints sent “I am a House officer that was posted to UCTH to begin my Housemanship, I got to Calabar on Sunday, I met with others that also travelled from distant locations to resume House Job duties, for context I base in Lagos, although I'm from the East, on Monday we went to the administrative building to meet with the CMD and also begin our clearance and orientation. To my surprise he rejected us, all 17 of us, he told us he has petitioned the list of House officers sent to the facility to MDCN, and until MDCN replies he's not clearing us. He gave his reasons, some of which are: 1. Why 15 of 17 HO's are from one tribe/region 2. Why are there no Cross Riverians in the list of posted Officers from MDCN 3. They told MDCN they have 50 slots, why are we 17? Honestly sir, I was shocked. He went on to talk about how it's becoming a normal thing, how we igbos we're coming to saturate the whole place, he accused us of paying to get the placements, he said he has evidence but failed to show us any evidence. The whole thing is just frustrating, we don't even have accommodation as we speak most of us sleep on the floor in the room of older house officers in the facility with just wrapper on the floor, these house officers go ahead to tell us how it's a regular thing there, in some cases he will approve clearance for the house officers from other tribe, then reject the ones from Igbo telling them "Go to the East, there's no space". One person even got in touch with the CMD of their own University's teaching hospital, where they graduated, he spoke to him and he said the list would be cancelled, he blatantly told the two non Igbos that they're unfortunately caught up in this mess and nothing will be done, telling us to stop hanging around the premises and travel back home. Sir I'm honestly tired, I never for once thought I will face this level of Tribalism in my life. National Association of Resident Doctors UCTH and NMA Cross River branch reached out to him, still he was adamant. All these are factors that ignites the JAPA mentality amongst Healthcare workers. Sir please help us, I have never felt so much regret for studying this course like I felt these past 2 days.”

@MoghaluKingsley Your daughter lied. More so, asking whether KM is her father BY AIRPORT AUTHORITY, does not, by itself, amount to an invasion of privacy, particularly where the name appears on an official document voluntarily presented, such as a passport.

My daughter, who lives abroad, was traveling back out of Nigeria when, at the immigration post at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, the immigration officials looked at her passport and, seeing her surname, asked if she was my daughter. She felt her privacy was invaded, and replied “No, this is a common name in the Southeast”. They disagreed, and asserted that the name was not common and they thought she was Kingsley Moghalu’s daughter. Can you show us a photo of your dad if he is not the person we think? Of course she refused to do so. “Daddy”, she texted me, “Can you believe the immigration people asked me to show them a picture of you? Of course I didn’t. What kind of madness is this!”. I called her and we had a good laugh. “If you were a proper Nigerian, my dear daughter”, I told her, “you might have even announced your father’s name even when you were not asked. You would probably have received courtesies that would shorten your process at the counter”. But I told her I was glad she stood her ground, as indeed that was an invasion of privacy and asking for a photo of her father was improper in reality, although in all probability the questioning was well intentioned. Name recognition carries many implications, mostly pleasant and humbling. I receive tremendous goodwill wherever I go in my country, and relatives consistently report the same whenever they are asked (and affirm) whether they are related to me. But my daughter, while of course proud of her father, is a stickler for propriety! 😂 She was well brought up!

@Morris_Monye When he began opposing every view and blocking dissenting opinions, he shifted from being Hundeyin to being a coward. There is a significant distinction between cowardice and the “no perfection in man” argument you invoked; they occupy opposite ends of the spectrum.

I never knew a day would come when most Nigerians will speak bad against David Hundenyin. He also unfollowed me too probably due to my Pro-West views but I will never ever speak bad against him. Never. I always remember his sacrifices and risks he took to illuminate alot of things about this APC govt. He is a human being like you and I and the thing that makes us all human is that we may not be as perfect you want us to be. That’s the essence of being human. Let’s all reflect deeply on this.

@KashimSM As VP, this appeal rings hollow. The perceived “Yorubanisation” of key public offices and the persistent targeting and marginalisation of the Igbo/christians have been recurring features of this administration. Yet, you have not publicly condemned these actions.

I love this quote by Chinua Achebe.. “A man who calls his kinsmen to a feast does not do so to redeem them from starving. They all have food in their own houses. When we gather in the moonlight at the village ground, it is not because of the moon. Every man can see it in his own compound. We come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so. Therefore, let us continue with the team spirit and enjoy the power of togetherness. Let’s smile not because we don’t have problems, but because we are stronger than the problems.” Alone I can smile, but together we can laugh. Alone I can enjoy, but together we can celebrate. Alone I can talk, but together we can speak. Alone is a voice, while together is a force. Let’s promote things that unite us rather than things that cause disunity. Let’s build ourselves as friends and brothers, because a tree cannot make a forest. God bless you as you help a friend at the point of need. Unity is great strength. Everyone is important according to their own unique purpose. Never look down on anybody unless you are admiring their shoes. Compliments of the season. 🎄✨

@Nedumcity_ @sweetarinze Take correction. The Ozo title is bestowed on children when the father is taking Nze title. The son, however, cannot attend Nze na Ozo meetings or receive Nze na Ozo entitlements while their father is still alive. He can however, wear red caps and engage in backhand greetings.

@sweetarinze What you don’t know, you don’t know.

There is a disturbing and harmful practice in Ala Igbo that must be halted without delay. Parents initiating their underage sons into the prestigious Ọzọ and Nze titles are gravely abusing both our sacred traditions and the fundamental rights of children. A child who cannot yet tell left from right, who is far below voting age and who lacks the wisdom to comprehend the strict taboos and solemn responsibilities of a titled elder is being thrust into these revered institutions. This perversion of Igbo culture constitutes outright cultural and child abuse, and it must come to an immediate end.

@The_Great_JiRI @GospelIsaac1 @winexviv People have so condemned AI not knowing that it is a tool that assist human to be better. But, what do you expect from someone that has nothing to give AI to assist? Ethical use of AI include using AI to improve original thoughts to reduce grammatical errors and omissions.

If it "seems so AI generated," copy it and ask ChatGPT if it wrote it. I don't even know how you people think anymore. Everything is AI now. If you watch old Nollywood films and read newspapers from the 90s, you'll know people have always written like this. AI is literally modeling how humans already spoke and wrote. It didn't invent these patterns. I've even noticed people have convinced themselves that any message with an em dash (—) or phrases like "This is not just about..." is AI. Meanwhile, that's how people have been writing formally for decades. Go check any old editorial or essay from before 2020. You'll see the exact same structures. Now I'm just here avoiding natural expressions I've always used because someone will scream "AI!" It's exhausting. The irony is you're so focused on detecting AI that you've forgotten what actual human writing looks like. Omo, I'm tired sef. I bet you'll also say this reply is AI generated too. Oh, and most importantly, there's "AI generated" and "AI assisted." They're entirely two different things. One is a bot writing from scratch, the other is a human using tools to refine their own thoughts. Learn the difference.

On the left is Favour selling pap in the morning before school and on the right is Favour dressed for school. She makes N1500 daily selling pap. She pays her school fees and also supports her family. She is the best student in her class. I’m thinking we should buy her pap for 12 months ahead and also offer her sponsorship as an encouragement. What do you think?

@omaryjuma144881 @winexviv For Peace. For the growth of mutual competition and co-operation not using federal power to favour some at the detriment of others. The renegotiation will come and it will come from Yorubas when they receives half of what Tinubu is dishing to others in the name of governance.

@winexviv 2. There's nothing that's unique to the formation of Nigeria. Nothing. All countries are made up of dissimilar units. But they do coexist. Dismantling an African country at this stage is dangerously cumbersome and is really uncalled for.For what gain and benefits with such divsn?

Before Britain left Nigeria in 1960, there were negotiations. Have Nigerians ever asked what exactly was negotiated… and for who? Britain did not negotiate independence with Nigerians as a people. They negotiated with regional elites (Nnamdi Azikiwe (East), Obafemi Awolowo (West), Ahmadu Bello / Tafawa Balewa (North) ). No referendum. No mass consultation. No national consensus. Just elite handover. The biggest negotiation was FEDERALISM. Not because Britain loved diversity, but because it was the easiest way to manage a country they forcibly merged in 1914. Federalism was a colonial compromise, not a Nigerian vision. The regions were structured to preserve imbalance. The North was protected with: • Population advantage • Political dominance • Indirect rule continuity This wasn’t accidental. It was negotiated. Power was transferred, but only to familiar hands. Britain ensured: • Colonial civil service remained • Colonial laws remained • Colonial mindset remained Flags changed. Structures didn’t. Economic independence? British companies retained control of: • Mining • Cash crops • Trade • Banking Railways and ports were built to export raw materials, not to develop Nigerians. This is why unseen hands are seriously fighting Dangote for building a refinery. It's against the original plan. Political independence ≠ Economic freedom. The military Nigeria inherited was a colonial control force. This explains the military coups. The Nigerian military was designed for internal control, not national defense Built to: • Quell internal dissent • Protect colonial order Not to: • Defend democracy • Protect citizens That design choice still haunts us today. What Britain never negotiated was nationhood. No shared identity. No integration plan. No fairness framework. Just: “Here is a country. Good luck.” So let’s be honest: Nigeria did not start as a nation. It started as a colonial project with negotiated elites and protected interests. And 60+ years later, we are still arguing inside that unfinished deal. Until Nigerians renegotiate: • Federalism • Resource control • Power balance • National identity We will keep fighting symptoms instead of the root. History matters because what you don’t renegotiate… will continue to rule you.

@dipoaina1 You thrive as a data boy funded by taxpayers, you cannot grasp the cost borne by an entrepreneur that lost $200,000 in loan-dependent nations, a nation that hardly attracts significant FDI. So, it is above your pay grade.

The ignorant bunch that supported landmark beach against the federal government are now using same coastal road they said would ruin everything. These are the same id!ots that have so much to say about "good governance".
