"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

This is a good advice. The NDC should have a group of lawyers who will be readily available to defend any suit that may be launched against it in any state in Nigeria.
FESTUS OGUN@mrfestusogun
NDC should immediately set up a strong legal team as soon as possible, across the country. The legal team should consist of legal practitioners of conscience with core experience in electoral and constitutional litigation - not recycled politicians who simply have bachelor degrees in Law. We must resist the shenanigans of those who are planning to destroy NDC, one Nigeria’s opposition party. Once APC captures all political parties with endless lawsuits and through proxies, then, our democracy is dead as dodo. Eternal vigilance is the price we must pay for our liberty.

Kwankwaso will witness the father of all propaganda from the North so much that he will regret the day he first met Obi in his life.
Could be the end of his presidential ambition.
Be there.

Dear Peter Obi, @PeterObi
If no one has taken the time to clearly explain the consequences of your current political path, allow me to do so in simple terms, sir.
You are positioning yourself against a sitting president from the South who still has four years left to complete an expected eight-year tenure. At the same time, you have publicly committed to serving only one term if elected and handing over to RMK. Furthermore, if your joint ticket with RMK does not succeed, you would then be expected, by your own logic and the prevailing political arrangement, to support him in 2031, when it would be the North’s turn to produce the president.
In practical terms, this means you have effectively narrowed your own window to just one real opportunity: 2027.
That is the hard truth.
You are, by your own design, placing a strict limit on your political lifespan at the very moment it should be expanding. Politics at this level is not just about ambition, it is about timing, structure, and long-term positioning. By locking yourself into these commitments, you risk stepping out of the race earlier than necessary.
If this is a deliberate strategy, then it is a bold one. But if not, then it deserves a deeper reflection.

TIME TO BE STRATEGIC AND BE COUNTED.
Following the current build up to the 2027 General Elections , it is safe to say that the South East has once again lost out on the power permutations, however all hope is not lost as we still have strong politicians and men of good character who are conspicuously positioned to one day be at the villa .
2031 will offer Ndi Igbo the best chance to produce a Vice President in one of these men, Sen. Hope Uzodinma, Gov. Peter Mbah , Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo and Sen. Dave Umahi in the All Progressive Congress APC and therefore the region Must massively work for the APC and be counted.
However, in order to achieve this and have a concrete stake and a say at the table, the region Must as a matter of fact , ensure that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is retuned to the villa in 2027 by voting for him massively to complete his tenure.
After due consultations and considerations and for the wellbeing of our region, I, Ogbuagu Anthony would therefore henceforth do everything within my power and means to ensure the Re-Election of His Excellency Asiwaju, we are set and ready to hit the grassroot to mobilize for Mr. President.
On that note , In Abia State, we will deliver the votes to Mr President.
Let the Campaigns begin…

Peter Obi is part of the political class. He is single-handedly fighting them for your own future. The financial and personal toll of fighting a corrupt establishment isn’t something most people fully grasp. If you truly grasp it, you won't be out here doing silly analysis and criticing his moves to sound smart. Your job is to simply support Peter Onwubuasi Obi. Leave the rest for him to handle. 🤞🏿

@emmaikumeh Under normal circumstances, you are of age to do big things like Obi. I don't blame you! The rulers have subjected almost everyone to servitude and o yes member!

I have never seen a man who runs away from a party like Peter Obi..

@Omojuwa By the special grace of God almighty, you will enjoy under his presidency and you will see what it means to be a citizen!

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

@PeterObi We are with you Obi!
We understand the trials you are facing sir!
Don't be discouraged!

@U_Rochas You should be tired of all these things by now!
Obi has crossed the bridge!

My opponent is Peter Obi, not the APC or anyone else. We will take him on directly and decisively.
However, if God wills it and the North truly and sincerely comes out for their brother and gives him this very beautiful and powerful last chance, Atiku will be the winner of the 2027 general election.
No matter how the election goes, Peter Obi will still come 3rd. It’s either Atiku or Tinubu. And one important thing is that Obi and RMK can never get up to the amount of total votes they got individually in 2027. Obi wanted the church to take back their country, and RMK is the originator of sharia law in Nigeria, both of them are like water and oil; they can’t meet, but they have met now simply to stop Atiku. But Atiku will surprise them this time.
