@Uptownoflagos Let him go to the White House and kneel down before Trump. Obi can never be on a ballot in Nigeria.
English
Peter Obi is so presidential. He will make a great President for Nigerians, both locally and internationally.
English
Earlier today, Peter Obi met with representatives from several diplomatic missions, including the British High Commissioner, and the embassies of Germany, Canada, and France.
English
Your President should be someone you can rep anywhere in the world without shame.
His Excellency Peter Obi is that guy. Intelligent. Principled. Ready to serve.
English
A Peter Obi presidency will reset Nigeria’s global image.
His reputation, discipline and integrity will force the world to take Nigeria seriously again.
Let's have PO.
English
While others are playing politics, Peter Obi is busy being Presidential material. Quality. Capacity & Class.
If Nigerians want a leader they can show off anywhere in the world, Obi is the answer.
His Excellency Peter Obi is the kind of President material you can proudly export.
The kind of leader that makes you say ‘Yes, that’s my President’ anywhere in the world.

Did you notice that only Atiku and his main men were wearing the ADC regalia? I can't just wait for this antebellum to happen.

@ziter001 Only backward people like you rate Europeans higher than themselves. Put Oyinbo inside a picture and monkeys like you would jump with excitement.

@ruffydfire If you read carefully you would understand that the article is talking about how APPRECIATION in the Naira has made the gap to widen. I keep telling people say this boy called Rufai no well.

@Mario9jaa All they need is a Pat Utomi alternative IREV. Nothing else.

Who is ADC’s leader in Edo and how does he plan to get votes for them in 2027?

@favoureg01 @SadiqMaunde Is that what losers like you call winners?

@SundayDareSD Are you saying Professor Pat Utomi is an economist of the antebellum?

PAT UTOMI : AN ECONOMIC BUCCANEER FLIRTING WITH INTELLECTUALISM
Professor Pat Utomi has once again chosen to dance naked in the public square, playing to the gallery with a familiar cocktail of grandstanding and gloom. This time, he has come to dismiss the reform programme of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as “ridiculous,” “poorly structured,” and, in a flourish of intellectual overreach, a “Ponzi scheme.”
At this point, the issue is no longer what Utomi is saying. The issue is why his interventions consistently collapse under the weight of their own exaggeration, under the slightest scrutiny or interrogation.
Any reflective — indeed, discerning — mind would note that, after all these long years of sophistry and vacuous pontifications, all Utomi can possibly point to as his bonafides or bragging rights in the civic space today are the ruins of Volkswagen Automobile Ltd and BankPHB where his much touted “academic wizardry” was exposed as “Ponzi scheme”.
An Economy of Words, Not Results
Utomi’s public persona has long rested on the alarmist aura of a “political economist.” But strip away the titles, the panels, and the endless commentary, and a more uncomfortable question emerges: where is the evidence of all his posturings in the public space?
Nigeria’s economic distortions did not emerge in a vacuum. They were sustained over decades by a rotating class of commentators and advisers who:
* theorized dysfunction instead of dismantling it
* intellectualized failure instead of correcting it
and, crucially, found relevance within a broken system.
Utomi was not outside that ecosystem. He was part of it. Contrast this with measurable shifts under the current reform cycle:
* Fuel subsidy removal (May 2023): eliminated a multi-trillion-naira fiscal drain, freeing up revenues for subnational allocations and deficit reduction.
* Exchange rate unification: collapsed multiple FX windows into a single market-reflective rate—an essential step flagged for years by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. (The actual “Ponzi scheme” that benefited a few with privileged access through arbitrage.)
* FAAC disbursements have risen materially post-subsidy removal, improving state-level fiscal liquidity.
These are not theoretical positions. They are structural actions with verifiable fiscal impact.
From Insider Comfort to Outsider Outrage
There is a pattern here that is too glaring to ignore. For years, the rent-seeking architecture of Nigeria’s economy—subsidy leakages, FX arbitrage, policy opacity—created space for a certain kind of “expert”: visible, vocal, and perpetually adjacent to power, yet rarely accountable for outcomes.
Now, that architecture is being disrupted. And suddenly, the volume of outrage has gone up. This is not a coincidence. It is a reaction.
When a system that once rewarded commentary begins to prioritize structural correction, those who thrived in the old order often rebrand themselves as its fiercest critics. Not out of principle—but out of displacement.
Meanwhile, early macro signals are adjusting:
* Oil revenue remittances have improved post-subsidy removal and reforms in NNPCL transparency frameworks.
* External reserves stability has strengthened relative to pre-reform volatility cycles.
* Debt service-to-revenue pressure has begun easing marginally as fiscal leakages are curtailed.
The “Ponzi Scheme” Claim: A Collapse of Serious Thinking
Let’s be blunt. Calling a national reform programme a “Ponzi scheme” is not provocative—it is intellectually hollow.
A Ponzi scheme is built on deception and zero value creation. Nigeria’s reforms—however painful—are attempting to:
* eliminate fiscal leakages
* restore price discovery in the FX market
* rebuild macroeconomic credibility
If anything resembled a Ponzi structure, it was the previous regime o
* borrowing to sustain consumption.
* subsidizing inefficiency at scale.
* masking structural weakness with artificial stability. 1/2 @officialABAT

@egi_nupe Sorry. It looks like you guys still don't believe me, Obi can never be on any ballot in Nigeria again. Not even a senator. He is banned from contesting any election in Nigeria. Just watch.
English
When I said Obi won’t be on the ballot as a Presidential candidate for ADC, many people came for my head. Except Atiku steps down or they adopt Obi as a consensus candidate, it’s better for him to start looking for another party like he did in 2022. If not, the best he can get from ADC is VP🤣
IKECHUKWU@iykimo
The plans Tinubu, Ganduje Shettima,Gbaja,Akpabio, Wike etc has for the opposition is of evil and not of good... This is why the ADC presidential candidate MUST be from the North. So when Tinubu uses the corrupt judiciary to stop opposition party, Arewa will unleash the dragon
