Stand up for your conscience. Use light to reveal what is concealed in the darkness. Use truth to fight the lies, and the heart to fight the mind.

The way Hope Uzodinma is going, he might be the first Igbo president.
He is loyal to the core, a party man, and one who understands dynamics of national politics.
Hope Uzodinma is a friend to the North, South, West and well adored by his people in the East.
He will become the next Senate President putting the Igbos on the map.
He will be the Vice President inshallah and history will be kind enough to make him occupy that apex sit.

@OfficialBenKalu Happy birthday RT HON!!!!UGO BENDE.!!!Ya gazie!!!
English
Today, I pause.
Not in ceremony, not in fanfare, but in quiet gratitude to God for this gift of life. Another year has turned, and with it comes the weight of reflection that only time brings. I am reminded, more than ever, that life is not measured in the years we are given, but in the purpose we pour into them.
I am reminded of leadership and its true essence, the mandate of my people, which I hold dear, and the journey through it all.
On this day, my heart turns especially to the good people of Bende Federal Constituency, my home, my foundation, my anchor. Your belief in me has never wavered. Your prayers have carried me into rooms that ambition alone could not have opened. Your love has sustained me through moments of pressure that public life rarely reveals. I am because you are. Whatever I have accomplished in this season of leadership belongs, in no small measure, to each of you and not to anyone else.
As I mark another year, I renew my commitment to you, to our nation Nigeria, and to the ideals that have guided my path: integrity in leadership, empathy in governance, and a strong belief that our best days are still ahead.
The work continues. The call remains. And I am profoundly grateful, deeply humbled, for the grace to answer it.
Happy birthday to me.

@FinPlanKaluAja1 And while you are at it, Umuahia still remains the least developed capital city in the entire south east region.

What is Akwa Ibom's strategy?
1. Tourism?
2. Manufacturing?
3. Agriculture?
4. STEM-driven IT Services?
4. All?
Akwa Ibom, you know you can also build three brand new Universities, one affiliated to MIT, the second affiliated to John Hopkins, and the last to Harvard. Then, educate every Akwa Ibom child to university level for free.
Na money kill am
Keep building your convention centers, but God has given you oil; oil is a seed, not a harvest. I stop there
The convention center looks beautiful. Everything in Akwa Ibom looks beautiful
Iko-obong Bishop🇳🇬@EngeesBishop
Governor Umo Eno said on Sunday that the Ibom international convention center (ICC) that is under construction in Akwa ibom is going to be the best in the country Second to none

@FinPlanKaluAja1 If it were Otti that was building this convention centre,you would support it .Your bias stinks..Akwa ibom doesn't need your opinion,go and continue praising your bus terminals and water fountains in Aba and Umuahia.

@busbyskills @realFemiOtedola He isnt the cause of your frustration..
English
@realFemiOtedola Na Only issues way concern dangote this man dey put mouth. Even if Nigeria dey burn nothing concern him as long as he can go chill in Singapore. This one too be elite.
English
Let’s set the record straight:
“Reports claiming that Femi Otedola funded the Dangote Petroleum Refinery are completely and utterly false. He has not invested a single kobo, not one dollar, not one naira. The real story, which those peddling these lies conveniently ignore, is that Mr. Otedola has actually been requesting a special allocation to participate in the refinery’s forthcoming public offer.”
I can categorically state that at no point did Alhaji Dangote request for financing from Mr Elumelu, Mr Adenuga and myself . The Dangote Group is a well-structured organisation that is well vast in raising structured capital for its operations. This is calculated mischief and a deliberate attempt to create rifts and sow discord within Nigeria’s closely knit and respected private sector leadership. These are men who have built businesses, created jobs, and invested in this nation for decades. They deserve better than to be used as props in a social media fabrication.
To those behind this: desist immediately.. And to everyone else, social media is not a tool for manufactured drama. Nigeria deserves truth, not lies dressed up as insider information!

"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

@Johnviral1 @RhodaSanda Which useless PO??A COWARD is whom you want her to campaign for??We don't need such a lazy politician as president.

@RhodaSanda Sis you’re literally empowering the oppositions with that tweet !! We need to be motivated and optimistic!! It’s not about party is about the leader which is PO

I have done best in the obidient movement on the plateau since 2023 general elections. In the ADC I also mobilized Obidients into the ADC, actively took party in the formation of the party structure and emerged as the state woman leader.
Right now, I must take a decision for me. I wish Nigeria the best of luck.
I feel bad that Tinubu is coming back without much struggle

@Samzonal @aonanuga1956 You are a big fool . Someone whose life has already been made is who you dimwit is cursing.Pray you live as long as he has and stop embarrassing yourself online because of a man with zero capacity for leadership

We told you so. The political nomad is on the move again. Ignore all those puerile reasons he gave in these illogical musings, a self-serving letter to his mob. Peter Obi is a politician made of jelly, an opportunistic fellow. He can't fight Atiku or Amaechi for the ticket of ADC. He pursues the easy road, that will only lead him to doom, like in 2023. He always blames the government without doing a soul-searching of himself. Welcome, Peter to the 2027 race.

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

True democrat retweetledi
You can't run a proper campaign organization
You can't build a party
You can't win a primary
You can't lead your party's elected officials in opposition
You can't control the worst of your supporters
But you'll be the best president ever? The Math is not mathing.
English
@barth_barthez @Pharmacio001 I don't think Obi would even make a good president.. Emotions aside, I seriously doubt his capacity to lead a complex nation like Nigeria
English
@Pharmacio001 Atiku has nothing new to offer and might be even worse than Tinubu
English
How I wish Peter Obi had a mindset like that of the North.
Kwankwaso, a northerner, accepted to be his VP, but Obi said no to Atiku, who is also from the North.
Kwankwaso surpasses Obi in many ways, yet he accepted the VP ticket. Obi, who is below Atiku, said no.
Why can’t Obi reciprocate the same love and respect that Kwankwaso is showing him to Atiku?
English
@mojayzone @BolanleCole Obidients should just advice Obi to go and rest...He will be thoroughly defeated again.He will not score more votes than Atiku.Its a no brainer
English
@BolanleCole Mugu..primaries do not determine elections. If not Atiku wld have been president since 2007. Atiku has won 5 primaries. Atike has lost 5 presidential elections. Moron.
English
Peter Obi dey fear Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi for primaries, but wan go face Bola Tinubu for general election.
No be juju be that.
English
@MitchellOrjiude @jon_d_doe Well meaning Nigerians??You lots overrated yourselves.
English
Atiku doesn’t realize that if he steps back and openly supports Peter Obi, it would be more honorable to Nigerians than becoming president himself.
He should just be the kingmaker, that’s just his job there in ADC.
As it stands, well-meaning Nigerians would appreciate and have him in their good hearts if he does this.
But no, he is a greedy man who still wants to be president despite trying and failing several times.
English
Imagine if Atiku had stepped aside for Obi in 2023 and supported him.
Tinubu would not be President by now.
No amount of rigging would have stopped Peter Obi from being president.
Atiku's ego is depriving Nigerians of the opportunity to be led by who they want.
End.
English
Bola Ahmed Tinubu was originally positioned to be the vice-presidential candidate in 2015 but stepped aside, allowing Yemi Osinbajo to take the role. Osinbajo then served two full terms as Vice President; effectively occupying the political space Tinubu had conceded.
Despite that, Osinbajo chose to contest against Tinubu in the 2022 APC presidential primaries.
Tinubu’s supporters never demanded that Osinbajo step down. Tinubu himself didn’t call for it either.
Leadership isn’t about clearing the path by asking others to withdraw. If a candidate depends on others stepping aside to secure a ticket, it raises a fundamental question about their strength and suitability for the role.
English
I've never seen a group as confused as the Obidients. They hate Atiku Abubakar for being a Northerner but pretend to love Kwankwaso. They call Atiku "Aboki" yet treat Kwankwaso like an Igbo brother. They claim they don't need Northern votes to win, but are busy romancing Kwankwaso to bring those exact votes. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.
English
Peter Obi talks about competence and courage, but keeps sidestepping party primaries,the real test of political strength!! Leadership isn’t about picking easy routes, it’s about facing the contest head on.
