@PeterObi Well, you can be given the ticket free of charge unopposed with your 3rd class result, but that doesn't mean that there's vacancy in Aso Rock. Just enjoy this moment of your ticket.

Yesterday, May 19th, in Abuja, I attended the Presidential screening organised by our party, which took over two and a half hours. They carefully reviewed all my documents, including my degree certificates, NYSC credentials, and age declarations. During the process, I also addressed questions regarding my vision for a new Nigeria and the type of leadership our nation urgently needs right now. Following this, I was cleared and received the presidential nomination form I had previously paid for. I would like to commend the screening committee, led by former governor Sam Egwu, for their thorough and professional approach. Additionally, I appreciate our party's leadership for upholding the democratic process. A New Nigeria is POssible. - PO

@sowore @adekunleGOLD That's why people like you can't get to the place of power bcos you will do worse. God knows the heart of everyone. People we think are cool in faces are actually being the worst.

This was @AdekunleGold in 2012 openly criticizing then President @GoodluckJonathan. Back then, it was rightly called free speech, and if he had been arrested for those tweets, we would have been on the streets demanding his immediate release. How then does someone who benefited from freedom of expression turn around years later to use the police, courts, and the brutal cybercrime framework against ordinary Nigerians over online banter and social media exchanges? You cannot enjoy free speech when you are powerless and criminalize it the moment you become influential. Freedom of expression must apply to everyone, celebrities, politicians, activists, and poor young Nigerians on social media alike. The Nigeria Police Force @PoliceNG must stop acting as a private army for the rich and famous, while the judiciary must stop handing down outrageous punishments over internet speech that should never be criminal matters in the first place.

@sowore @adekunleGOLD So to you, you are the only saint in Nigeria? Government is not good in whatever they do, people that are going on their own jeje nd another person cyberbulling them or wish them dead,that one too is good to you? You are the only perfect man in Nigeria!

@sowore @adekunleGOLD I think swore is getting it twisted, you are getting it wrong, that is what power nd fame does to one,it enters into your brain bcos few people are hailing you, you now want to twist whatever anyone does wrong to another person not to be a crime.

@underworld_09 You can buy the form for obi,bcos he likes free free things. At least out of the money you people embezzled you will bring out little from it. So that obi can participate, just participate and after that, he will enter his house and rest.

BREAKING: NDC Aspirants Forum volunteers to buy the Presidential Nomination Form for His Excellency, Peter Obi on Monday. Nigerians are ready to take back their country A New Nigeria is POssible ✌️

@underworld_09 Smile. Is their country lost b4? How many of you? Do you know the quantum of people, masses, young and old people that are supporting the Mr President? Is it bcos the little social media people that you bought the are causing nuisance on social media nd term it masses?

@PeterObi We dnt need someone like you as our President. You can continue be obidiots social media president

I extend my sincerest condolences to the High Command and Leadership of the Nigerian Military and the Police over the tragic loss of our courageous officers. It is with deep sadness that I acknowledge the heartbreaking death of 17 brave police officers, alongside an unspecified number of soldiers, who made the ultimate sacrifice during the recent terrorist attack on a military school in Yobe State. At this moment of profound sorrow, the entire nation stands in solidarity with the leadership of the Armed Forces, the Police, the affected commands, and the wider security community. Every security personnel killed is a tragedy to our nation. Every fallen officer represents a family thrown into grief, children left without parents, and communities robbed of those sworn to protect them. The Federal Government must ensure adequate compensation, support, and long-term welfare for the families of all those who paid the supreme price in service to our nation. A nation cannot continue to normalise the killing of its security personnel and innocent citizens without urgent, decisive, and strategic action. We must confront insecurity with sincerity, professionalism, and the political will necessary to protect lives and restore public confidence. To the families of the fallen heroes, I offer my deepest and most heartfelt sympathies. We mourn with you, and we honour the courage and sacrifice of your loved ones. May their souls rest in eternal peace. -PO

@PeterObi Useless human being. A carrier of bad news,the success recorded by Nigeria/US joint operation last week could not be talked about by you despite people calling your attitude. But you only wait for bad things to happen b4 you comment. Nigeria does not need you

@PeterObi You must rant all over social media, looking for sympathy, emotion and all that, politics is not like that. You just want everything to be given to you free of charge. "Primary election " you don't want to contest, nd after one infant party has given you, emotion starts

State visits by Leaders are not tourism, and diplomacy is not a fashion parade. Every foreign trip undertaken by a government must deliver measurable benefits to the people, including investments, technology transfer, trade agreements, factory expansion, industrial partnerships, and job creation. During President Trump’s recent visit to China, the American delegation reportedly included a few top government officials, and many of the biggest figures in global business and technology: Consequently, huge trade deals worth several billion dollars including about 200 Boeing orders were achieved. The list of the entourage included 1. Donald J. Trump – President of the United States 2. Marco Rubio – Secretary of State 3. Pete Hegseth – Secretary of Defence 4. Elon Musk – CEO, Tesla & SpaceX 5. Jensen Huang – CEO, Nvidia 6. Tim Cook – CEO, Apple 7. Larry Fink – CEO, BlackRock 8. Stephen Schwarzman – CEO, Blackstone 9. Kelly Ortberg – CEO, Boeing 10. Brian Sikes – CEO, Cargill 11. Jane Fraser – CEO, Citigroup 12. Larry Culp – CEO, General Electric 13. David Solomon – CEO, Goldman Sachs 14. Sanjay Mehrotra – CEO, Micron Technology 15.Cristiano Amon – CEO, Qualcomm 16. Dina P. McCormick – President of Meta 17. Ryan McInerney – CEO, Visa 18. Michael Miebach – President, Mastercard 19. Jim Anderson – CEO, Coherent 20. Jacob Thaysen – CEO, Illumina That is how serious nations approach diplomacy, by aligning foreign policy with economic expansion, industrial growth, innovation, and national productivity. I hope that lessons can be learned from these recent visits comparing them with the President of Nigeria’s recent state visit to the United Kingdom. A large entourage of politicians, aides, and government officials travelled, yet Nigerians are still asking a simple question: what exactly did Nigeria bring home? Which factories are coming to Nigeria? What power, technology, manufacturing, agricultural, or industrial agreements were secured? How many direct jobs will this visit create for Nigerian youths? What investments were attracted? What measurable economic outcomes can the ordinary Nigerian point to? The delegation reportedly included: 1. President Bola Tinubu 2. Senator (Mrs) Tinubu 3.12 governors 4.9 ministers 5.7 members of the National Assembly 6. Over 20 senior State House staff 7. Over 30 security personnel 8. Over 10 domestic staff 9. Several supporters and associates It is not enough to ride horses, wear matching uniforms, attend royal banquets, and release glossy photographs. Symbolism without substance cannot feed hungry citizens. Today, Nigeria is in decline, battling serious insecurity, food insecurity, unemployment, a weakened naira, declining industrial productivity, and worsening poverty. At a time when millions of Nigerians struggle daily to afford food and survive economic hardship, every kobo spent on foreign trips must produce tangible national value: investments, factories, jobs, exports, infrastructure, and economic opportunities. Nigeria needs leadership that is focused less on optics and more on productivity; less on ceremony and more on measurable economic results. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@PeterObi Listen to yourself, bitterness and Jealousy all over you. Well, wait for 2039,no vacancy in Aso Rock. Imagine, just bcos you want to be President of a country, you must demarket the country and spoil what the President in charge is doing. Abah. Already you know.

@HarmlessHQ Obi has lost it

Because of Peter Obi, Atiku's supporters have supported GEJ, Tinubu, Sowore, Amaechi and now Makinde; within a space of 2 weeks. Obi is steadily messing up with those guys mental health. 😂😂

@PeterObi Thank God you didn't blame the government here that they were the one responsible for his death, you didn't add politics, bcos that's what you always do.

My dear Brother, Dr. Datti Baba-Ahmed, I am deeply shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of your beloved brother, Jallul Baba-Ahmed, yesterday. My heart goes out to you and your entire family. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I pray Almighty Allah grants him eternal rest in Al-Jannah Firdaus and gives you and your family patience and strength to bear this painful loss. I stand with you in this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, -PO

@HarmlessHQ And what does that mean? Who knows Makinde,who will vote for him? He can't even win his polling unit. Both making,Atiku nd obi are going nowhere

Atiku used his own hands to tear down the coalition. After the Oyo declaration, Seyi Makinde was expecting a Obi/Kwankwaso ticket in ADC, after which he'll collapse structure. Unfortunately, Atiku and his supporters insisted on Atiku candidacy. Obi/Kwankwaso left. And Makinde immediately dumped Atiku. Today, he's declaring for his presidential ambition under APM.

@PeterObi It will not work, if you like cry blood, you are not fit for Presidency. We have been seeing your interview everywhere nd your output is nonsensical. Nigeria doesn't deserve that.

Teargas in a Hospital, a Thoughtless Act. I have just read the recent troubling reports of how the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) allegedly stormed the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital in a bid to arrest Professor Eyo Ekpe, a professor of cardiothoracic surgery and deputy chairman of the hospital’s medical advisory committee. While I understand and respect the fact that the EFCC, and indeed, all other government agencies have their constitutional rights to do their jobs without interference, the manner in which some of these jobs are carried out is often deeply troubling. Reportedly, the EFCC operatives who stormed the hospital shot some teargas canisters within the hospital premises which sent medical staff and patients running for safety. This thoughtless act greatly compromised the general safety in the hospital environment and further jeopardised the health of the medical personnel and the sick people in the hospital. I have always said that the most fundamental intangible asset upon which any nation functions effectively is the rule of law and order. The disorderliness allegedly demonstrated by the EFCC operatives at the hospital must not be encouraged. Nothing justifies the use of teargas canisters in a fragile hospital environment. Do we not realise that our hospitals are part of our most critical contributors to development? We must also learn to respect the lives and dignity of our citizens. If a Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery is arrested in such a demeaning manner in a hospital environment, what signals are we sending to other medical professionals working hard to keep our health sector afloat? It is reported that Nigeria has only 80 cardiothoracic surgeons serving its 230 million people, and the Prof Eyo Ekpe is the only one in Akwa Ibom State. Let us learn to do better. Let us condemn and eschew the rascality and disorderliness that have continued to characterise some of our public offices and bring in civility in the discharge of our duties. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@PeterObi Hypocrisy, when it happens in anambra that ipob was killing everyone you went mute,sit at home you went mute,but whenever little thing happens either in lagos nd North you will jump out like cricket nd start talking pitifully, seeking for sympathy, we know your trick,it will not

@renoomokri Obi will not be man enough to say it so that his poor supporters will hear. He's very selfish, so that his followers will not be thinking that he's rich, bcos he doesn't like giving out money, shishi

Peter Obi and other Nigerians are getting richer under President Tinubu! Something positive happened last week that evidences the professional handling of the economy by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Economic Management Team. But because it was not something negative, much of the media and all of the opposition have kept quiet about it. Sadly, we live in a country where those with the responsibility and ability to project Nigeria positively prefer to do so negatively. So, what occurred? Well, we all know that the wealthiest Black person on Earth and the richest African is none other than our own dear Alhaji Aliko Dangote, who, according to Forbes Magazine, is now worth $35.9 billion. Do note that Mr. Dangote's wealth has almost tripled under President Tinubu, rising from an estimated $13.9 billion in 2022, according to Forbes, to almost $40 billion today. However, Nigeria, last week, also produced the second wealthiest man in Africa, as Abdul Samad Rabiu, Chairman of the BUA Group, overtook the South African billionaire luxury goods and jewellery maker, Johann Rupert, to become Africa's second wealthiest man, with his net worth surging from $10.4 billion on New Year's Day, to almost double at $19.1 billion today, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Now, the question is this: If, as my good friend Peter Obi claims, President Bola Tinubu has mismanaged the economy, how come two of Nigeria's biggest local manufacturers, in the persons of Aliko Dangote and Abdul Samad Rabiu, have seen their wealth double under President Bola Tinubu's administration, with the attendant result that their staff strength has also increased by almost 50%? In fact, the question can also be asked: why has Peter Obi's bank, ******** Bank, reported record profits under President Tinubu, with Gross Earnings growth of 45.6% from ₦1.04 trillion in 2024 to ₦1.52 trillion in 2025? You see, the truth is that under President Tinubu, the Nigerian economy is booming, having experienced 12 consecutive quarters of GDP growth and trade surpluses, even as the President has added $67 billion to our economy and made Nigeria the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2025. And this growth is not concentrated on the 1%. Ordinary Nigerians are seeing the result of President Tinubu's reforms. According to the 2025 Agricultural Performance Survey, food production in Nigeria has increased significantly under President Tinubu, with food prices, especially the cost of staples like rice, maize, and sorghum, dropping nationwide by an average of 50% in 2025. Things got so good that Peter Obi was forced to complain about the steep drop in food prices, when on Friday, February 27, 2026, he said falling food prices under President Tinubu were making our farmers poorer. On that day, Mr. Obi said: "Somebody called me today when I walked in here and told me that the food prices have gone down." He then concluded by saying we have "killed" our farmers. But if by improving the economy, such that food prices dropped nationwide, President Tinubu is killing our farmers, that is one 'kill' that leads to life! Reno Omokri Ambassador Designate to Mexico.

@PeterObi Whatsoever one sows,he will also reap nd that's why God gave the current President what he suffered for, so you can wait till 2031, no matter what you do, you can't displace him. It is the law of nature.

"Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others change their principles for the sake of their party." Winston Churchill Today, May 9th, I attended the 1st convention of my latest party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Abuja, Nigeria. The convention was successful and continued to show the resilience of Nigerians to change I express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the NDC family, led by the distinguished Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, for inviting us and for the generosity of spirit with which they have accommodated us at this critical moment in our national journey. I also wish to express profound gratitude to the African Democratic Congress(ADC), particularly Distinguished Senator David Mark, for providing a democratic platform and showing uncommon understanding when the ongoing litigation forced us out of the Labour Party and the New Nigeria People's Party, NNPP respectively. That spirit of solidarity must remain the foundation upon which a better Nigeria will be built. Today, the most painful aspect of our political existence is that many who once benefited from democratic governance have now become willing accessories to the destruction of democracy itself. Those who once fought for justice now openly celebrate electoral injustice. Those who once spoke against impunity now defend coercion, manipulation, intimidation, and outright political gangsterism, especially against opposition voices. What we are witnessing is not politics; it is a systematic assault on democracy and the will of the people. Nigeria today stands at a dangerous crossroads. Our democracy is under severe threat. Our nation is drifting without direction, and our people are passing through immense suffering. Across the world, Nigeria is increasingly described as a failing and disgraced nation. This is not the destiny God ordained for our great country. It was not always so, and it must never be allowed to remain so. Across virtually every recognised indicator of good governance - accountability, political stability, rule of law, control of corruption, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and the separation of powers - Nigeria continues to record alarming failures. The institutions that should protect the people are weakening daily, while the burden on ordinary citizens grows heavier with each passing moment. Today, over 140 million Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty. Tens of millions of young people remain unemployed or underemployed. Inflation continues to crush families. Businesses are shutting down. Farmers can no longer safely access their farms. Communities live in fear. In this month alone, hundreds of innocent Nigerians have lost their lives to insecurity, while many others have been kidnapped, displaced, or thrown deeper into poverty. The most heartbreaking question confronting us is this: Who consoles the grieving mother whose child was abducted on the way to school? Who speaks for the father who can no longer feed his family despite working every day? Who defends the young Nigerian whose dreams have been destroyed by a nation that rewards connections over competence and corruption over character? Our present tragedy is not accidental. It is the direct consequence of years of deliberate sabotage by a political class that prospers by dividing the people and weakening the nation. Nigeria is not a poor country; rather, we are being looted into poverty. We have abundant human and natural resources, yet we remain trapped in deprivation because leadership has failed to place the common good above personal interest. Our choice as a people is therefore clear: whether to surrender to despair and national decline, or to summon the courage to rescue our country and rebuild it on the foundations of unity, equity, justice, competence, and productivity.

@PeterObi When the current President was fighting for Democracy, risking his life,you were there enjoying with the dictator who was killing everyone, nd you were making money. Now that the food is done you are removing long spoon,you want to eat where you didn't work.

@PeterObi Olodo,you can't do without say rubbish, which one concern those who benefited from democracy are now the one destroying it. Who is destroying democracy if not you nd your toxic supporters? Have you ever fought for democracy?

@underworld_09 Smile, jokers anyway he is coming to anambra to sit,bcos politically after 2027,he will be retired

BREAKING: Hon. Ken Pela, the 2023 Labour Party gubernatorial candidate in Delta State, has officially defected to NDC Nigeria will be OK ✌️ Peter Obi is coming..
