“Tinubu Must Be Audited To Know How He Spent Our Recourses.” ~ Peter Obi Blows Hot

12 reasons why Nigerians love Peter Obi. @DonAzag

The NDC has done the right thing in zoning the presidential ticket to the south... The journey of a New Nigeria that is POsibble is here, together with one voice and the message.

@KwankwasoRM A unity speech for a better Nigeria, which is POsibble with the OK team....

MY SPEECH AT THE NDC NATIONAL CONVENTION 09 MAY 2026 FCT, ABUJA Fellow Nigerians, It is with immense pleasure and a deep sense of fulfilment that I address you today on this historic occasion of the National Convention of our great party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), in Abuja. Since we joined this party, together with numerous stakeholders, millions of supporters, and well-meaning Nigerians, the NDC has continued to attract quality members and ignite enthusiastic conversations among citizens and observers both at home and abroad. What began as a bold movement is steadily becoming a formidable platform for national renewal. Ladies and Gentlemen, Nigeria stands at a critical crossroads. The world is undergoing a profound geopolitical shift, yet our nation has been caught unprepared, largely because of poor leadership. Instead of positioning Nigeria to seize emerging opportunities, bad governance has left us bearing the brunt of global changes. We are witnessing a sharp decline in the quality of life. Insecurity has created widows and orphans across the land. Millions have been displaced from their homes. Investments are fleeing, critical infrastructure is neglected, the education system is collapsing, and harsh economic policies have been imposed on citizens without meaningful safety nets or relief. Yet Nigeria’s history teaches us that in our most challenging moments, visionary alliances have provided the way forward. In 1954, a historic partnership was formed between the Northern Elements Progressive Union (NEPU), led by Aminu Kano and the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), led by Nnamdi Azikiwe to achieve national unity. Again, in 1960, against steep odds, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe’s National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) formed a coalition with the Northern People’s Congress (NPC) to birth our independence. In the Second Republic, the alliance between Shehu Shagari and Alex Ekwueme under the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) helped restore civilian rule and national unity after years of military dictatorship. It is therefore with great sense of unity and solidarity, that as a loyal party member, I support the decision to zone the presidential ticket of the NDC to the South, so that it allows the region to complete its turn in producing national leadership. This represents a true opportunity for true national healing. We shall work in abidance with the party’s agreement to ensure fairness and federal character in all ramifications. This party shall also ensure to change the way things are done today by prioritising leadership without ethnic jingoism and religious favouritism. The leadership standard we shall set will therefore restore Nigeria’s dignity and will guarantee that our citizens at home and the diaspora will be treated with respect and dignity. Lastly, we can only achieve that by continuing to mobilise to register with INEC to vote, and the NDC to belong to this noble cause. Please register, today. Thank you. Long Live the Nigeria Democratic Congress! Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria! Sen Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, PhD, FNSE Former Governor, Kano State

The NDC hereby zones its Presidential Ticket for 2027 to Southern Nigeria. #NDCConvention

@Tony_Ogbuagu As an adult, Do you need permission from anyone to campaign for a candidate?

Iam going to vigorously campaign for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for 2027, APC folks please welcome me into your fold , the battle line is drawn. 4+4

@Imranmuhdz A fantastic leader and orator indeed.

"I want to welcome you to the party that doesn’t know what is called status quo ante bellum.” - Sen. Henry Seriake Dickson said as he welcomed Peter Obi and Kwankwaso to the NDC

@Benking443 Why the Insult... even Peter Obi didn't insult him, learn to show respect at all time... shallom

@PeterObi Leadership in Motion, a new Nigeria is indeed POssible.

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

Atiku Abubakar has never run away from primaries in his entire political career from Gov-Elect to Vice-President. Not every aspirant can say that.

Lets go to the ballot heads on... Nigerians will OK.

@jrnaib2 For once Rest and market your candidate to Nigerians and keep Peter Obi out of your discussion your strategy dose not help your Oga... Habbaa mana.

No one has described Peter Obi as accurately as Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo.

@DonAzag I concur with your Analysis... the bottom line is Nigerians will be OK.

If Obi and Kwankwaso Move to NDC, ADC Will Collapse The reported move of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is set to shake up Nigerian politics ahead of the 2027 elections. If this move becomes final, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) may find it impossible to survive. Simply put, ADC has no strong base of its own, and without Obi and Kwankwaso, it has little to offer. ADC’s Problem: No Depth, No Real Followers ADC only became popular because people hoped it would form an alliance with big political names. Now that Obi and Kwankwaso are leaving, the party will lose public trust and attention. Unlike big parties like the APC or PDP, ADC has no governors, no strong state structures, and no loyal voter base. Once its top figures are gone, the party will quickly fall apart. Most of the remaining ADC members will likely rush to join the NDC or the APC. History shows that small parties in Nigeria rarely survive after their leaders leave. ADC is no exception. Why Obi and Kwankwaso Are Stronger Without ADC Peter Obi remains hugely popular, especially among young Nigerians and those who want real change. His supporters are not just talk; they are organized, active, and ready to vote. Rabiu Kwankwaso, on the other hand, controls the famous Kwankwasiyya movement in the North, a loyal and massive voting bloc. Together, they bring a mix of southern youth energy and northern grassroots strength that no other opposition figure can match. If they fully unite under the NDC, they will form a powerful opposition force that can challenge the APC head-on. That means Nigeria could soon have just two major political sides: APC and NDC. In such a race, ADC will be completely forgotten. What About Atiku and the PDP? Atiku Abubakar’s influence will also suffer under this new alignment. In 2023, his strength came from PDP governors and the party’s structure across states. ADC has none of that - no governors, no real machinery. Without these, Atiku cannot mobilize voters on a large scale. Many also see his support as limited to political elites, not ordinary voters. Meanwhile, Obi and Kwankwaso have real, proven followings on the ground. Final Verdict: ADC Is Finished In the coming months, if the move to NDC is confirmed, ADC will fade from the national stage. The 2027 elections will likely become a two-horse race between APC and NDC, leaving smaller parties like ADC with no voice, no relevance, and no future.

This is Peter Obi in 2024. This is why I like him - my kind of person. I would rather be the loser and be called all sorts of names than succumb to humiliation. Imagine you need me to win, but your body language and disposition towards me portray me as a nobody, all because you are proud. Before you wake up, I’ve already packed. Respect is reciprocal. Anybody saying the goal was to remove Tinubu by all means doesn’t understand that there is something worse than Tinubu. It’s like thinking there was nothing worse than Goodluck Jonathan until you experienced Buhari. You thought Buhari was the worst until you experienced Tinubu. It is better for Tinubu to remain there than for Atiku to come and sell Nigeria like condemned iron.

@jrnaib2 I will prefer to each candidates profile in and out of government as well as their integrity profile and how they managed government funds and the countries resources. At this point, thats the kind of profile Nigerians needs.

Amaechi vs Obi’s profile (political appointments & elected positions). Comparison: Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi ■ Two-time Speaker ■ Two-time Governor ■ Two-time Minister ■ Chairman of Governors' Forum ■ Two-time DG of campaign Peter Obi ■ Two-time Governor Given their tested leadership experience, who would you hire? — Dr. Elmo

@Tony_Ogbuagu All of you have been activated to use the most popular name in Nigeria politics today and also considering the benefit from Elon M. You forgot to mention Kwankwaso and others.

Good morning to all lovers of Democracy and members of the opposition coalition, Mr Peter Obi should come out and tell us why he was absent in this all important meeting last night , we deserve explanation except he has finally gone to NDC.

@ChidiOdinkalu @officialEFCC Indeed a lot of federal institution have derail led from its core functions and objectives of which the consequences has taken the country many step backward and the EFCC is one those that needs a major reset.

Let's be clear: The claim by the chairman of @officialEFCC labelling 60% of students in #Nigeria's tertiary universities as criminals is plainly irresponsible & unconscionable. It is not law enforcement. 1st, it is outside the statutory responsibility of the #EFCC to profile a demographic or social group by reason of or with reference to their station in life. #Nigeria's constitution actually prohibits that. 2nd, it is already difficult enough to be young in Nigeria at this time without having to deal with being officially labelled as expendable by the authority of the Chairman of the EFCC. 3rd, the EFCC was established to go after high profile criminals & #PoliticallyExposedPersons who have designs on Nigeria's patrimony. Those are not students. They are politicians & in pursuit of that species, the record of the EFCC is - at best - abysmal. The only political rogues whom the EFCC is able or willing to pursue are those who are in opposition. Even in that, it mostly has worse than a patchy record. Those of them in the ruling party are patrons of the EFCC. 4th, the EFCC has not provided proof that its claim against or about students is founded on any study or survey that can stand the test of minimal methodological rigour. If it had, then the thing to do would be to make that report public so that its claims can be assessed with due regard to its methods. Above all, even assuming that the EFCC has undertaken a rigorous study to inform this claim, it amounts to an irresponsible waste of public resources to focus on or prioritise students over & above the politicians who have kidnapped Nigeria & hold its citizens & communities hostage to sovereign ransom. It will be interesting to see the EFCC's study on what proportion of Nigerian politicians are involved in criminal pillage or, in fact, what proportion of civil servants or even judges & magistrates are thieves. Until the EFCC Chairman can produce such studies, his attempt to criminalise Nigeria's young people, especially students, must assume its pitiful place in a disreputable pantheon. The Chairman of @officialEFCC has not yet made good on his promise to bring @OfficialGYBKogi to account. He is still unable to comply with the order of @SupremeCourtNg to ensure the retrial of @OUKtweets. The Commission seems congenitally wired to fail in bringing every senior politician to account, including those caught with their hands in the proverbial cookie jar. The EFCC should not be this idle or distracted. It is unfortunate that a succession of public servants with pathetically thin records of achievement turn on Nigeria's young people & students when they should have more important things to do. dailytrust.com/efcc-chair-6-o…

@PeterObi @seyimakinde Keep adding span leght to of the unity bridge, the chief architect... the cornerstone to a new Nigeria that is POsibble

My ongoing nationwide consultations with notable South East leaders ahead of the 2027 general election continued on Tuesday April 28, 2026. We visited Governor @seyimakinde of Oyo State in Ibadan. Our meeting provided an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions on critical issues concerning our nation, the direction of our democracy, and the urgent need to build a united, more inclusive, secure, and economically viable Nigeria. We exchanged views on governance, development priorities, and the role of responsible leadership in this crucial period of our national journey. The consultations remain essential as we continue to listen, reflect, and work collectively towards a better future for all Nigerians. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@seyimakinde @PeterObi The bridge is indeed getting more solid and longer... okwute you are doing well.

Earlier today, we welcomed my brother, His Excellency @PeterObi and his entourage who visited us in Ibadan. The visit gave us an opportunity to discuss the coalition as well as other important matters regarding the state of our dear country, Nigeria.

@ChuksEricE The kind of personality that even his enemies love his charisma...
