This statement by Mr Gregory Peter Obi shows a continued lack of understanding of how the apparatus of state, and indeed a Presidency, works. At best, it is lacking in critical thought.
As President and Diplomat in Chief, President Bola Tinubu has consistently travelled with Nigerian champions of business and industry, drawn from a wide range of sectors including manufacturing, finance, agriculture, fintech, technology, oil and gas, aviation, and services.
In Nairobi, Kenya, earlier this week, at least twelve of our national business champions were present, including the two richest Black men in the world, Aliko Dangote and Abdul Samad Rabiu. Also present were Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu, Kola Karim, Wale Tinubu, Gbenga Oyebode, and others.
In Kigali, Rwanda, just two days ago, President Bola Tinubu was accompanied by even more Nigerian business leaders. At every opportunity during the Forum, he highlighted them, celebrated them, advocated for them, and pushed for opportunities for them to scale across Africa.
That is what serious leadership does. It does not reduce the state to one man. It builds systems, opens doors, creates platforms, and allows institutions and enterprise to outlive the tenure of any individual.
Please, take a leaf from our President, who understands that processes, systems, structures, and institutionalisation are what make governance and its impact sustainable long after office.
Three governors after your time in office are still trying to fix the consequences of your institutionalised “only me” approach to governing a state, an approach which left “no tangible legacy”, to quote you directly.
O’tega
P.S.: I genuinely look forward to the day when your interventions are shaped by original thought and novel ideas, rather than by shallow analogies to others that offer more theatre than substance.

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

One obidient said Kwankwaso will deputize Obi from 2027 to 2031 and Obi will now deputize Kwakwaso from 2031. Walai, obidients are the most gullible set of human beings I've come across🤣🤣🤣

To think they are always the first to jump on tweets continually and allege that certain individuals here who support Mr President should go and “manage their 2k handouts” on X, ...not knowing that they were speaking from their personal, lived experience. I see it now.
To those who have been paid 2k by associates of P.O. Rolling Stones & Company, we understand your deep frustration. Quite unfortunate seeing this play out publicly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The jokes write themselves indeed.

Chief @dawisu,
President Tinubu is not the one usurping party constitution to take over another party. That's on you all.
President Tinubu isn't interested in your disorganisation. Neither is he going to help you all put your alliances in order. He is focused on governance.
When you all are ready for the elections, the Nigerian people will ultimately decide.
By the way, congratulations on your advanced talk to run digital for one of the potential candidates.
See you on the field!
P.s: I hope we can stay issues-focused and not your party's template of 'misinformation first'

ADC/NDC: A BLESSING IN DISGUISE! With Obi and Kwankwaso aligning with the NDC, this shift could turn into an unintended advantage for the coalition. While many Nigerians, myself inclusive, had hoped for a single, united coalition, it’s reasonable to assume that Tinubu would have deployed every available resources at his disposal, including the courts, to keep the ADC off the ballot. But now, with the coalition effectively split into two blocs, ADC and NDC, that calculation changes. If Tinubu continues targeting the ADC alone, it would risk leaving the NDC, backed by Obi and Kwankwaso, as the sole opposition platform. That could prove politically costly for Tinubu. On the other hand, moving against both ADC and NDC would raise serious concerns domestically and internationally, potentially casting doubt on Nigeria’s democratic credibility in general. In that context, the more likely scenario i forsee happening, is that Tinubu allows both parties (ADC and NDC) to contest, resulting in a divided opposition heading into 2027. If that happens, we may see a repeat of the 2023 pattern at the presidential level (Cos this will definitely favour Tinubu) while ADC and NDC make significant gains in National Assembly races, particularly across the North and East. Regardless of how this unfolds, I remain committed to the ADC. My hope is that both ADC and NDC will dial down tensions and keep sight of a broader objective. Politics has a way of bringing unlikely partners back to the table, and cooperation, in one form or another, may yet prove necessary! Salihu Tanko Yakasai, Arise and shine, Nigeria 🤝

The mistake will never happen

If Peter obi mistakenly be president he go unleash all the hate he done hide for Yoruba people

Only people whose brains are not functioning well will believe Peter Obi will become President of Nigeria and has the solution to fix the country.
Let’s assume he becomes president, is this how he will be running from non-state actors when they attack his government?
Nonsense
