Nigeria has no party ideology, all the parties are the same. They are a special purpose vehicle, SPVs. This is our party, our party is him. If he joins the Buccaneers, we will buy yellow berets.

@YunusaTanko @RealOlaudah Waoooooo! Big congrats 👏🎉 Comrade Awal Abubakar Rafin Kuka.

We Stand with HE Peter Obi In all their efforts to stop HE PO from running for the office of President of Nigeria, his popularity keeps increasing. We have just received the Peter Obi 4 President Movement, led by Comrade Awal Abubakar Rafin Kuka, with structures in 19 states across the North. A New Nigeria is POssible

Peter Obi leaves ADC. But that’s not what I want to say. Look at this part of his speech. You can feel that righteous lamentation and fatigue. He is thrown into an abyss of perplexity that people would not want a nation that works for all. This is Peter Obi. Around three Sundays ago like this, some were saying Peter Obi is evil because he aligned himself with some politicians. I remember clearly telling them that the structure doesn’t matter because we can trust Peter’s integrity. Today, we have been proven right. Peter Obi leaves ADC because his principles to see a Nigeria where we don’t pay kidnappers doesn’t align with those in that structure. I’ve wanted to say it before. Peter Obi doesn’t want power. He is not desperate to be president. There’s nothing being a president would give him that he doesn’t have or have experienced. He has lead several banks, so seeing huge money won’t be a coveted experience. He has met many world leaders, so that international association won’t be his motivation. He is a billionaire who only has one house in Onitsha. He is content. He doesn’t want to loot your money. He is running because he hates what the country that gave him everything has become. He wants the country that worked for him to work for you. That’s his only motive. It’s why it rather baffles me when people try to shame Obidients by saying, “Peter Obi will never be president.” You think that’s our goal? He is a means to our end of seeing a Nigeria that works. That’s all. To you all, it is politics. To us, it is Nigeria. If Peter goes to another party, we will follow him because we trust him. But I think he hasn’t been hit emotionally like this before. I hope he finds strength. Hold on, Peter. Just fight, we will fight with you. But whatever happens, I’ll like to end with this: Peter Obi won’t feel the effect of a bad government. Peter Obi doesn’t need the loot that comes from politics. The outcome of a bad government will affect you and I the most. I hope we all internalize this and be prepared for the consequences of our actions.

@PeterObi Man spoke to my soul♥️ Truly respect is not weakness… Silence is not cowardice We’re not just moving with you we’re running with you sir…. NEXT!

@PeterObi Peter Obi remains the standard. We, the people are solidly behind you.

@torty_mercy @PeterObi 🤣🤣🤣 No nah! Those who in your daddy's former party, ADC, that always insulted him mighty become useful to him later. Who knows? 🌹❤️❤️

@PeterObi Daddy can I now insult the people in your former party that always insult you?

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

@torty_mercy @PeterObi The PO we know will never abandon any handicapped or less privileged person that came his way.

@PeterObi Don’t leave me daddy 👨‍🦯

Where he goes, we go. Where he stays, we stay. This is our party, our party is him.

It is time to speak the truth with love and courage, face to face. The ADC project was meant to be a vehicle for unity, not another platform for elite calculation. What we are witnessing now is painful but instructive: the same old greed and condescending attitude by a few “big men” is quietly pushing away the very forces that can actually win , the energetic Obidients and the massive Kwankwasiyya movement. This is not personal. This is about Nigeria’s future. Peter Obi represents something genuinely new: competence, frugality, youth inclusion, and a break from recycled elite politics. His movement cuts across tribe, religion, and class. Pairing him with Kwankwaso’s northern grassroots strength creates a formidable North-South alliance that no single party can match. This could have been the rallying point in ADC, but we missed this playing politics as usual. To every opposition leader reading this: the masses are tired of elite games. The PDP’s visible cracks are a warning. The ADC’s current drift is another. Greed and arrogance today will produce regret tomorrow. The lesson 🙏

The chameleon is a unique animal. It is not deceptive; it adapts to survive danger, hostility, and changing environments. Its ability to adjust is not a sign of weakness, but of wisdom, awareness, and survival instinct. Those who mock adaptation often forget that rigidity has destroyed more people, institutions, and nations than flexibility ever did. In politics, there is a clear difference between opportunistic movement and principled transition. One is driven by personal gain; the other is driven by conviction, vision, and the search for a better platform to serve the people. Mr. @PeterObi’s political journey has never been about tribe, power, or personal survival. From APGA to PDP to LP to ADC, his values have remained remarkably consistent: prudence, accountability, competence, production, and compassion for ordinary Nigerians. The platform changed, but the message never changed. The environment changed, but the character remained intact. A man who left office without stealing public funds, who still flies economy when others squander state resources, who speaks more about schools, hospitals, security, and production than about opponents, cannot honestly be described as a political chameleon in the negative sense. If anything, he represents ideological consistency in a political environment filled with transactional alliances and convenient morality. Ironically, many of those attacking him today have crossed more political bridges than they can remember, defending one government today and condemning the same principles tomorrow. It is therefore difficult to take lectures on loyalty from individuals whose political history reads like a revolving door. People like Daniel Bwala especially should exercise restraint before attacking others over political association or movement, considering their own very public political transitions and recent outings, including Doha engagements that raised more questions than answers among Nigerians. The real issue before Nigerians is not who changed political parties. The real issue is who has changed Nigeria for the better. History will not remember those who shouted the loudest on television or social media. It will remember those who stood consistently for justice, competence, fiscal responsibility, and the dignity of the Nigerian people, regardless of the political platform they occupied. -DrMo

When Borrowing is Leprosy and cancerous. Mr. President, borrowing is not only a leprosy, but a killer cancer when it is borrowed for consumption and not production as it is in Nigeria today. Borrowing for consumption slowly eats away at the health, reputation, and autonomy of a nation. One of the major “leprosy” afflicting Nigeria today is not just debt, but debt without productivity. Debt that is not tied to measurable economic value. Debt that does not translate into jobs, growth, or improved living standards for the Nigerian people. No serious economy borrows recklessly. Nations borrow with discipline, with purpose, and with a clear plan for repayment through productive investment. Fiscal Responsibility Act 2007 provides that “Any government in the Federation or its agencies and corporations desirous of borrowing shall, specify the purpose for which the borrowing is intended and present a cost-benefit analysis, detailing the economic and social benefits of the purpose to which the intended borrowing is to be applied” Cost-benefit analysis must show how the loan would be applied, how it will impact economic growth and improve the welfare of Nigerian citizens in measurable ways. Most of the borrowings by this government do not satisfy the requirements of law or the requirements of economic common sense. The humongous borrowing so far does not show how the projects for the loans enhance the productive capacity of the nation and the welfare of Nigerian citizens. These loans are also dangerous because they burden the capacity of the Nigerian state to improve the economy in the future, as we have one of the world’s highest debt servicing ratios. What matters is not debt-GDP as much as debt-debt servicing ratio because the latter constrains our capacity to finance the sectors that drive human development and economic growth. If the money is wrongly spent as we do in Nigeria currently, it becomes double jeopardy because you are using current revenue to service debts that did not add to revenue or improve capacity for more production in the future. A responsible government does not merely defend borrowing; it explains it, justifies it, and most importantly, ensures it works for the people. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

"We must rethink and strengthen our national security architecture."

"Economic activity is being quietly strangled by insecurity."

The Attack on the GUO Bus Along Benin–Ore Expressway: Condemnable. I received the devastating report of a violent attack on a GUO transport bus travelling along the Benin–Ore Expressway, where armed kidnappers reportedly ambushed the vehicle, killed the driver, and abducted all passengers into a nearby bush. Sadly, this has become an increasingly distressing and recurring story. This is yet another heartbreaking reminder of the worsening insecurity on our highways and across the nation. No society can truly thrive under such conditions of fear and uncertainty. The impact of this crisis now cuts across all sectors of national life and development. Small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) are being severely affected. Transporters are losing passengers, while traders and business owners are losing customers who can no longer travel safely to access goods and services. Economic activity is being quietly strangled by insecurity. We must urgently confront this situation and take decisive steps to improve security across the country, especially for ordinary Nigerians who cannot afford the option of air travel. We must rethink and strengthen our national security architecture. The protection of lives and property must remain the foremost responsibility of the state. Anything less is unacceptable. May God protect our people and grant comfort to the families of those affected. -PO

From Pharisee to Tax Collector: Rethinking Tinubu’s Kenyan Comparison In a recent remark in Yenagoa, Bola Ahmed Tinubu suggested that Nigerians should find solace in being “better off than Kenya and other African countries.” While this may have been intended to soften the impact of economic hardship and rising fuel prices, the comment risks downplaying the severity of the current crisis. It echoes the biblical parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector in the Gospel of Luke (18:9–14). A similar warning is found in the Qur’an (53:32), which cautions against self-righteousness. Like the Pharisee who boasted of his superiority over others to mask his own spiritual void, such downward comparisons serve more as a refuge than a remedy. This validated an earlier dismissive remark by President Ahmed Bola Tinubu during electioneering: “Na statistics we go shop?” Yet statistics remain indispensable - they are the language through which nations understand their condition and chart progress. No country can develop in isolation from measurable realities or without comparing itself with peers. Comparisons, when properly grounded, are not instruments of escapism but tools of accountability. What is objectionable is not comparison itself, but comparison stripped of credible, verifiable data—mere tax collector comparisons that soothe rather than solve. On key development indicators such as security, the Human Development Index, life expectancy, GDP per capita, literacy levels, and electricity access, Kenya consistently outperforms Nigeria. Nigeria is the fourth most terrorised nation in the world, while Kenya is not among the ten worst. Kenya’s HDI ranking is 143 out of 180 countries, with a coefficient of about 0.630, compared to Nigeria’s ranking of 164 out of 180, with a coefficient of about 0.530. Its GDP per capita is roughly $2,200–$2,300, compared to Nigeria’s $807–$835. Kenya’s poverty rate is about 43% of the population (approximately 23 million people), while Nigeria’s is about 63% (around 150 million people), over six times that of Kenya. Kenya’s life expectancy is about 67 years, while Nigeria’s is about 54 years. The literacy rate in Kenya is approximately 81–85%, compared to Nigeria’s 62–65%. Kenya’s electricity access is higher, while Nigeria has one of the lowest levels of electricity access in the world. Kenya has about 3.5 million out-of-school children, while Nigeria has about 20 million. Kenya’s inflation rate has been about 4.5% or lower over the past three years, while Nigeria’s has remained above 15% within the same period. Kenya’s exchange rate has been around USD 1 to KES 130 over the past three years, whereas Nigeria’s exchange rate rose from below ₦500/$1 to above ₦1,250/$1 within the same period. Even with developments in the Middle East and rising oil prices, Kenyans have not experienced the sharp increases in petroleum product prices seen in Nigeria. Across other key indicators, Kenya also performs better. In the end, these indices clearly show that Kenya ranks higher than Nigeria on several development metrics. The standard of living of Kenyans is better than that of Nigerians. If the President considers Kenyans to be suffering despite these stronger figures, then Nigerians are in a far more difficult situation. He should therefore refrain from self-consolation and, in honest reflection, take responsibility for the situation and make a determined effort to drive improvement. This requires a posture of humility, accountability, and commitment to addressing the factors that have slowed Nigeria’s development. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Leadership Without Compassion is Not Leadership During his visit to Benue State in June 2025, Bola Ahmed Tinubu stopped at the Government House but did not go to the actual scene where innocent Nigerians lost their lives. Similarly, yesterday in Jos, his engagement ended at the airport instead of at the affected communities. What happened in Plateau yesterday highlights a complete absence of leadership. True leadership requires presence, empathy, compassion, and a willingness to meet people where their pain truly lies. For citizens who have just lost loved ones, homes, and their sense of safety, being addressed from an airport tarmac is profoundly inadequate. This approach exacerbates the sense of abandonment already felt by innocent Nigerians who have endured repeated cycles of violence without meaningful protection or justice. Plateau deserves more than distant words; it requires urgent action and a clear commitment to ending the insecurity that continues to claim innocent lives. In such moments, leadership must not only be visible but also tangible—standing with victims, listening to survivors, and acknowledging the depth of their grief. If we truly desire a better Nigeria, we must demand leadership that is present, responsive, and responsible at all times. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
