@DeMocrat00lj @PeterObi @STAGEMICHAEL1 So, you justify EFCC using teargas in a hospital? Because you have data you can insult a Peter Obi because he is preaching for rule of law and order. What goes around comes around. Someday it will be your turn so treated by an overzealous agent of the state. Good luck to you.

@PeterObi @STAGEMICHAEL1 Wen you were the governor of one of those landlocked Ibo States.Doctors and medical practitioners went on strike for 13th months without a care from you Stop pontificating..you're only gaslighting your minions and nitwits You're a fraud and how people can't see u is beyond me

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

My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is Sacrosanct One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship. It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct. I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent. Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn’t be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation. I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation. In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word. My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity. If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure. I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal. We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances. Forty-eight months is enough for any leader who is focused and prepared to make a meaningful difference. In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to: sanitise our governance system; tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation; catalyse small businesses as engines of growth ; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve. Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors. These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@PeterObi God bless you sir. The rascals in political garbs that think that everything should be bent to meet their whims should learn some lessons in humility from you. You remain the model for leadership in our time. It does not matter whether you become President or not.

I just arrived in the UK this morning, on Air Peace from Lagos to London. I have now taken almost a dozen flights to or from London on this airline. I want to sincerely thank the management and staff of Air Peace for their professionalism, consistency, and competence on this route. Once again, I use this opportunity to appeal to Nigerian Elites and political leaders to give strong and deliberate support to indigenous businesses. It is never easy to run any business in our difficult environment, let alone highly capital-intensive sectors like air and land transportation, especially given the challenges of competitiveness and rising operational costs. Nigerian businesses need our encouragement and patronage, not harassment or unnecessary intimidation. Supporting local businesses, particularly those that create massive employment, is critical for job creation, economic growth, and sustainable national development. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@PeterObi All the haters of Peter Obi will spend their entire life in the darkness they willingly chose to live in. God have mercy on them all. Ignorance is a decease.

It's obvious that the biggest business for blackmailers now is talking about Peter Obi from every negative perspective. Even my solemn spiritual trip to Rome has been twisted into yet another blackmail campaign by merchants paid ostensibly to propagate anything negative against Obi. One such individual, whose entire life revolves around blackmail, falsely claimed that I went to Rome to have a private meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu regarding a purported ₦225 billion debt crisis involving Fidelity Bank. These claims are not only baseless, malicious, but entirely false. Let me categorically state that I have never sought an audience with, nor met, President Tinubu since he assumed office, except about 1 minute meeting at the arena of Saint Peter’s Basilica Rome during the inauguration Mass of Pope Leo XIV, where I was seated behind, and had to respectfully greet him, and other dignitaries present. I was previously in Rome on the 9th of May for the lying in state of Pope Francis. Immediately after the mass and exchanging pleasantries, I went straight from Vatican City to London, and then back to Nigeria. The self-proclaimed "blackmailer-in-chief" and others who thrive on spreading pain and falsehoods have also claimed that I own Fidelity Bank. For the record, I do not. Throughout my career, I have served as Chairman/Director of 3 banks/Financial institutions, of which Fidelity is one of them. Fidelity has over 500,000 shareholders, none of whom hold a majority stake. What this blackmailer seeks is to harm these hard-working Nigerians and cause them needless distress. To those peddling these falsehoods, and engaging in blackmail, I offer a simple prayer: May God grant you the virtues of gratitude and understanding to know that we came here with nothing and will go with nothing, that they cannot profit from their evil ways. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@ihe69 @winexviv You really need help. If this is the best way you can address this problem you need your head checked. I doubt if it is only Igbos that suffered the mass failure in jamb. I hope this is how you will address problems in your business.

Anything that doesn't favour Igbos is flawn. Igbos are the only tribe who question God for everything, even the name given to them by their parents, they have issues with it. They question and rebel against it. Igbos are rebellious in nature, and there's no exceptions. With Hausa people, Babukwomi ,but Igbos, they must complain. Tufiakwa

I think there is a problem with JAMB scoring engine. It affected thousands of youngsters who can’t speak up. I have carefully studied a lot of JAMB results from random people since yesterday and I can confirm that something is obviously wrong with their system. Lots of schools have reached out to me to lay this complaints as well. The future of this youngsters is at stake. I will make a formal report to JAMB HQ, the Presidency and the Senate. If you have such complaints kindly share here with evidences. Also share with others.

@realenergieman @winexviv Some of you are irredeemable. Everything is ethnicized. Wow. What a nation. I wonder if it is only Igbos that suffered the mass failure. You can go ahead in your ignorance. Rubbish.

If Obi came out third yet insisted he was first, Why wouldn't those youngsters deny their result and claim they scored higher? As pure as your intention may be, you need to factor in the fact that these young ones don't priotize reading anymore. In your days and my days,noone doubted the credibility of jamb as there was less distractions and we compete for higher score and then put in the work. On this journey, You may end up enabling those young ones inefficiencies!

@winexviv Let me ask again. These changes the minister claimed were made that eliminated cheating, were they made just this year? To the best of my knowledge jamb has been doing CBT for a long time now. These guys need to query the algorithm behind the scoring machine. Something is wrong.

@winexviv You have brain in your skull brother. I am appalled at the hasty conclusions of the minister of Education. These guys use everything to play politics and run propaganda. How can a nation’s exam body witness massive failure and we just dismiss it with a wave of the hand?

@channelstv We don’t any more states in Nigeria. We should even consolidate the states. Most of them are unviable. These politicians should stop this nonsense talk about creating more states in Nigeria. They need to get more serious.

@teejaybaba @SaharaReporters Democracy is about the rule of law. Calling on a govt to obey court order does not mean that one is an IPOB supporter. All of you that support evil done to one segment of the country and think that you will go free should know that what goes around comes around.

@FateeMamtee @PeterObi Don’t mind them. Darkness is always afraid of light. We will continue to fight until light overcomes darkness in this country.

I’ve got some questions and heavy insult’s because I support Obi somes even mocked my dear Country and call me names but remember that a progress for Nigeria can indeed have positive ripple effects for the entire continent and beyond. Remember to stay informed and engaged, and keep that positive energy flowing!!! If you’re supporting @PeterObi Come let’s follow each other, I’m your sister 🫂

After my engagements in Kenya yesterday, I arrived in Enugu State this morning to pay my last respects to the late Nollywood Star, John Obumneme Odonwodo, Junior Pope, in his hometown, Ukehe, and also to personally and sincerely condole with his family.

@channelstv The speed at which any attack on security forces in the S/E is ascribed to IPOB and ESN begs the question as to how correct these allegations are. Why not work hard on the investigation and apprehend the perpetrators of these dastardly acts before rushing into conclusions.

@CruiseAtuekong @SaharaReporters When some people like you make comments against Mr. PO I simply conclude that you are either foolish or mischievous. What is the reason for the Accountant-General retreating in London in this situation of Nigeria? Perhaps you are a beneficiary of this economic sabotage.

@SaharaReporters Oga Obi, try and rest. You're becoming a nuisance with every day criticism

@TonyeBarcanista This Akpabio is just a big joke. He always embarrasses himself and those who out of all the intelligent people around found him to be the best for the office of the Senate President. He does not know what comment is right for each occasion. How can he be talking politics here?

"Fubara gave the best message to take home" ~ RCCG Pastor replies Senate President Godswill Akpabio's statement on Governor Sim Fubara at Herbert Wigwe's Funeral. Fubara's message was clearly talking about the vanity of things we struggle, kill and die for. While Senator Godswill Akpabio is talking politics. Thankfully, Pastor Peter Bawo of RCCG gave Akpabio his reply and commended Governor Fubara. Akpabio should calm down

@sowore To achieve this struggle you need to align forces with the other progressives. Divided you all will never be able to dismantle this criminal gang running Nigeria. It is not about you or Peter Obi. All of you must come together.

*The Struggle Continues: Sowore Departs for USA after Five Years* Later today I will be returning to the US after almost five years of my unlawful, unjust and inhuman detention by the corrupt Nigerian political system since August 2019. I was arrested, assaulted, tortured and detained for demanding that Nigerians deserved a nation that they can truly call their own. I was charged with treason - and after 5 years the APC government was forced to withdraw its trumped up charges against me. If the government thought that keeping me detained, and later restricting my movement would break my spirit, and cause me to renounce my commitment to fighting for the downtrodden Nigerian people, they are mistaken. In the last five years, I have been denied the ability to visit my family, missing out on precious moments with my darling wife and wonderful children. I lost my brother to gunmen on Nigeria’s roads. My mother’s health deteriorated, due to the emotional toll of the government’s unrelenting assault on my person. My associates have faced arrest, and some imprisonment. I stand today to declare that I am unbowed. My commitment to Nigeria is unshakable. My resolve to continue to fight for the betterment of the Nigerian nation and to demand accountability from her leaders will never be compromised. Everything we said five years ago about the need for a radical restructuring of the Nigerian nation and the need for a revolution in our approach to politics and governance has come to pass. Corruption remains high and Nigerians are worse off today than they were five years ago. Inflation is making it difficult for people to put food on the table. Nigeria’s currency has been devalued by almost 100%. I am under no illusions about what the future holds. I commuted myself to the mission of helping to create a Nigeria that fulfills its promise and realizes its potential, over 30 years ago. I have suffered greatly for that commitment. My family, colleagues, and associates who have stood by me throughout this journey have endured great pain and privations as well. For those who wonder what my next steps will be - I say this: I believe now, as I did over 30 years ago when I began this journey, that the vision of creating a just and egalitarian society must be established during my lifetime. My trip today to reunite with my children and courageous and supportive wife is only for a short while. I will return to Nigeria to continue my struggle for the total liberation of our people from the shackles of the current corrupt, self serving political class. I will also be returning to face headlong, the remaining truckload of bogus criminal and civil cases that have been thrown at me since my detention in 2019. Let me use this opportunity to thank my family, lawyers particularly Femi Falana SAN, colleagues, and fellow revolutionaries at home and abroad who have stood firmly by my side, against all odds. Nigeria will be free. Nigerians will see a nation that is free of corruption, that has leaders whose only interest is in uplifting the people and creating an environment where our people can realize their potential. I remain committed to this ideal. It is a commitment that I have dedicated my life to, and my resolve to stay the path and keep on with the fight remains strong! #RevolutionNow

This video needs to go viral. Repost Aggressively 🔥

@Chidiifegbo I sincerely pray that it is just a rumor. I don’t work for him but I adore him as the most impactful Nigerian CEO. He is my role model. I have been pained seriously since yesterday I heard this ugly news. May God have mercy.

@DeeOneAyekooto Hahaha. This is baldadash. Arise is the most prominent media in Nigeria today. If you don’t like it you can go and jump into the Atlantic. The media must hold govt accountable. If that is the offense Arise has committed, so be it.

The Bola Tinubu administration has to understand that Arise Peoples Party have made a business decision to dishonestly sabotage the economy by passing off lies as news to drive viewership from Obidients and maintain Peter Obi as a viable candidate. Therefore, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu should starve them of their oxygen. No Minister or heads of any Department or Agency of Government should accept their invitation for an interview, or respond to their inquiries, stories or accusations. Bayo Onanuga, and other media handlers of the Nigerian Presidency should stop responding to them. Ignore them. In terms of viewership, Channels Television, Tvcnewsng, and Nigerian Television Authority are far ahead of them, according to the latest figures from Statista, the world's preeminent data provider based in Germany. Stop enabling them. Do not allow them have a codependent relationship with the government. Let them bring in Labour Party people and continue to tank their trust factor by branding themselves as the propaganda arm of the Eluupee movement. That is the best way to deal with Arise News, the Fake News Network! © Reno Omokri

@LaceVine @DavidHundeyin Common @LaceVine what are you saying? That a flight authorized to operate private services and for which reason the operation attracts less regulatory charges and less stringent maintenance and training requirements should operate commercial flights? What??

The actual cause of this accident was the runway lights of the airport it landed. It went off. It’s unusual for the runway lights to be off and this will be investigated. The aircraft itself is airworthy and the registration is not the reason it crash landed. All private jets are certified airworthy before they begin operations. For its registration I hope the right thing is done. I don’t have a say on it. Also you don’t need to wish someone death to prove your point.

Example no 1,055 of why Nigeria has no actual elite to speak of, but rather a bunch of rich dunces who think at the exact same level as your average Rafiu at the mechanic village in Ojokoro: The Hawker 800XP aircraft with the tail identifier 5N-AMM and serial number 258286 that crash landed in Ibadan with the Minister of Power onboard is operating illegally in Nigeria with the full knowledge and participation of the NCAA. This aircraft has no permission to operate commercial charter flights as it is registered under a Permit for Non-Commercial Flights (PNCF). This is the permit given to private non-commercial aircraft, and it is cheaper and easier to obtain than a commercial Air Operator Certificate (AOC), because the NCAA rules for private aircraft operation are less stringent than those for commercial aircraft. Flints Aero Service, the company which operates it, is also operating multiple aircraft under PNCF permission and using them to carry out commercial charter flights. Some of these aircraft include the Hawker 800XP with the tail identifier 5N-ALG and another Hawker 800XP with the tail identifier 5N-AMK. flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/… flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/… PNCF holders don't have to pay the 5% regulatory fees that AOC holders are required to, and the regulatory requirements for pilot training, ground staff training and aircraft maintenance are also less strident because PNCF aircraft are not under any circumstances supposed to carry paying passengers. Senior NCAA personnel (you know yourselves) take a cut of the revenues from these illegal commercial flight operations to keep this whole scam going. Now a sitting cabinet minister who may or may not know about all this has almost died in an accident on an illegal, unlicensed commercial flight run by his fellow "elite" who was willing to risk his life to save some money, and was enabled by top ranking NCAA staff who will inevitably try to cover this up by hanging the blame entirely on Flints Aero Service. Honestly, I kind of wish he had died. Maybe only the death of one of their number will force the so-called Nigerian elite to think long and hard about whether running a country in such a disastrously primitive and selfish manner for the sole and exclusive purpose of exploiting everyone and everything for pitiful amounts of profit will work out for everyone *INCLUDING THEMSELVES* in the long run. A class of moneyed subhumans!
