@Karigwe @YunusaTanko @NigeriaNDCHQ The Obidients are a confused group living like in the Fuji House of Commotion.

PRESS STATEMENT OBIDIENT MOVEMENT SUSPENDS TOP TO BOTTOM CAMPAIGN AND DECLARES OPERATION NO WORK, NO VOTE The Obidient Movement has taken note of the repeated disregard, disrespect, and political injustice shown to its members by political parties and politicians who want to benefit from its strength, credibility, structure, reach, and public goodwill. We have also taken note of the recent statement credited to Senator Seriake Dickson, where he reportedly told Obidients not to disparage him or his party, and claimed that NDC is doing Peter Obi and Obidients a favour by granting them its platform. We have heard him clearly. We also noticed the troubling tone of ownership in that interview. The possessive and self-important language made NDC sound less like a democratic party set up to rescue Nigerians and more like the personal property of one man. If NDC was truly set up to save Nigerians, then it must be a party for Nigerians, not a private estate where citizens are expected to kneel and thank one man for political access. Political parties are supposed to belong to the people, their members, and the public interest, not to one man or a small circle of political landlords. For the avoidance of doubt, the Obidient Movement is not owned by any political party. We are not political slaves. We are not campaign tools. We are not a crowd to be summoned during election season and ignored when decisions are being made. If NDC believes it is doing Obidients a favour, then we will no longer force our favour on NDC. Since we have been rudely reminded that we do not own the party, and since we are being told that nobody is doing NDC any favour, it is time for us to withdraw automatic political charity and move into non-partisan, people-centred politics. We must also speak for the aspirants and ordinary members who reportedly went through primaries in good faith, spent money, mobilised supporters, earned their place, and were later allegedly cheated, replaced, or pushed aside. If a party cannot protect fairness inside its own house, it has no moral right to preach justice to Nigerians. People who worked for their mandate must not be sacrificed for backroom deals and political convenience. In view of recent events, and the continued failure of party leaderships to treat the movement with the respect it deserves, we hereby suspend the Top to Bottom campaign approach. Going forward, every candidate must stand on their own record, competence, character, capacity, and public credibility. Whether a candidate is in NDC, ADC, PDP, Labour Party, or any other political platform, they must campaign on issues. They must face the people. They must explain what they have done, what they can do, and why Nigerians should trust them with power. Peter Obi has shown the standard. He campaigns on issues. He speaks to governance, economy, education, security, production, accountability, and the welfare of ordinary Nigerians. Any candidate who wants the support of the people must do the same. No candidate will be allowed to ride on Obi’s wave while disrespecting the same movement that built and sustained that wave. No more automatic support. No more blind loyalty. No more party-first politics. No more “vote them because they are under our platform.” From today, we are moving from Top to Bottom to Operation No Work, No Vote. No work, no vote. Nigerian politicians have shown repeatedly that many of them are on the same side when it comes to protecting their interests against the masses. They change parties, form alliances, recycle themselves, insult the people, and still expect the people to keep clapping. That era must end. Our loyalty is to good governance, competence, integrity, justice, accountability, and the Nigerian people. At the presidential level, our position remains clear. Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso are the only ticket we recognise for the national rescue mission. Every other candidate, at every other level, must prove themselves. They must show capacity. They must show integrity. They must show their work. They must convince the people. The Obidient Movement will no longer be used as political fuel by people who cannot respect the source of that energy. Any candidate who wants Obidient votes must earn them. They are not doing us a favour. The people are the favour. And anyone who wants the people’s support must respect the people first. Karigwe Prophet of Thoughts For and on behalf of Obidients, since the leadership of the Movement is sleeping.

@EkeneAninze Unfortunately, most of the corruption probes in the NA is to enable members get their cut of the loots from the MDAs. They were never concluded to lead to any recovery or imprisonment of defaulters.

Sometimes, whenever I look at Orji Uzor Kalu chairing any corruption investigation committee as a Senator, it makes me remember how Nigeria happened to the justice system in his case. How can we actually explain to the whole world that someone who was supposed to be in prison over corruption charges is now chairing committees that investigate corruption? Let me tell you the story in brief. Sometime ago, after Orji Uzor Kalu left office as Governor of Abia State, EFCC discovered a 7.5 billion naira infraction involving funds that allegedly went missing from the treasury of Abia State during his administration. So EFCC invited Orji Uzor Kalu to explain how the money was spent. He did not go alone because he was invited alongside his former Director of Finance, Udeh Udeogu, and his personal company, Slok Nigeria Limited, where EFCC believed part of the money had been diverted to. When Orji Uzor Kalu could not satisfactorily explain how the funds were spent, EFCC arraigned him, Udeh Udeogu, and Slok Nigeria Limited before Justice Mohammed Idris of the Federal High Court on a 39-count charge bordering on corruption. EFCC gathered its evidence and diligently prosecuted the matter. But before Justice Mohammed Idris could conclude the trial and deliver judgment, something happened. He was suddenly elevated from the Federal High Court to the Court of Appeal. Ordinarily, he should have handed the matter over to another judge to start afresh. However, because the case had gone very far and because there was a provision in the Administration of Criminal Justice Act which allowed a judge who started a criminal matter before being elevated to the Court of Appeal to return and conclude the case, provided he obtained written approval from the President of the Court of Appeal. That provision is Section 396(7) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA), 2015. It was inserted by the National Assembly to prevent waste, duplication, and unnecessary delays in criminal trials. Justice Idris explained the situation to both EFCC and Orji Uzor Kalu's legal team. They all agreed that he should obtain written permission from Justice Bulkachuwa, who was then the President of the Court of Appeal, so he could conclude the matter before fully assuming his new duties as a Justice of the Court of Appeal. Justice Idris obtained the approval, completed the trial, found Orji Uzor Kalu and Udeh Udeogu guilty, and sentenced them to 12 years and 10 years imprisonment respectively. Orji Uzor Kalu and Udeh Udeogu appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. Interestingly, their appeal was not that they were innocent or that the evidence presented against them was fabricated. It was not even that the judge wrongly convicted them. They told the Supreme Court that their conviction should be set aside because the man who convicted them had already become a Justice of the Court of Appeal before delivering the judgment. Sadly, the Supreme Court agreed with them. The Supreme court held that since Justice Mohammed Idris had already been elevated to the Court of Appeal, he had no business returning to the Federal High Court to conclude the case. According to the court, he should have allowed another judge to take over the matter. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the conviction and ordered that the case return to the Federal High Court for a fresh trial. But before that could happen, another interesting thing happened. While EFCC was preparing its evidence for the retrial, Orji Uzor Kalu ran to the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking an order to stop EFCC from prosecuting him again. His argument was that the Supreme Court's order for retrial specifically mentioned Udeh Udeogu but did not expressly mention his own name. Therefore, according to him, continuing his trial would not be in the interest of justice. Surprisingly, the Federal High Court agreed with him and halted the retrial.

@jidesanwoolu Lagos has become so disorderly, rowdy, disorganised. Your government scores very low on environmental issues and the city is now dirtier. Lagos should be in the league of other cities like Tunis, Casablanca, J'Burg, Algiers considering the revenue available to your government.

The true test of sustainable governance is the ability to pass the baton to proven hands, guided by minds that see the future clearly. Today, I present a ticket that reflects the strength, diversity, and future of our great state. Dr. Obafemi Hamzat has proven himself to be a dedicated public servant, a dependable partner in governance and a steadfast advocate for progress. Joining him as his running mate is Princess Damilola Sonayon-James, a respected leader, sustainability professional, and grassroots champion whose commitment to community development and youth empowerment reflects the aspirations of many Lagosians. Together, they bring the experience, competence, and energy needed to build on our achievements and move Lagos forward. As we prepare for the forthcoming gubernatorial election, I invite party faithful, stakeholders, and all Lagosians to support this team as we continue our shared mission of building a Greater Lagos.

@GSaint_ME @Imranmuhdz Read Bill no 10 and 32. I believe both will help to curb corruption in the civil service and LGAs.

@Imranmuhdz None touches on corruption. How to give more power to ICPC to prosecute corruption. Nigeria government is not serious to fight corruption. Corruption is the fundamental problem of Nigeria, ICPC just needs to be enabled with unrestricted power to prosecute anyone for corruption

@NasiruSaidu16 @Imranmuhdz We can all see what the current LGA administration are doing with what they get. I don't expect any change at LG level until we are ready to hold the officials accountable and demand that all allocation are spent judiciously for the benefit of the people.

@Imranmuhdz If at least the Local government Autonomy and the State Police were passed and implemented, that alone will be a game changer to Nigerians

@EstherUmoh10 As the Director of New Media Communications, he has a lot of influence on your activities as Obi's photographer. Under the doctrine of party supremacy, he can bar you from participating in the activities of the party's media crew, notwithstanding your personal relationship.

Lol I work with Peter Obi. I have been promoting Peter Obi from time without those two people. They are inconsequential to what I do.

@iamHSDickson The Tamer of Obidients and the Supreme Leader of the NDC.

I will be on PrimeTime on Arise Tv at 8:00pm today. Tune in to follow the program.

@netgeria @Jack_ng01 Is this how they conduct Committee meeting? The Chairman is autocratic and did not give enough room for the DG to talk. This is pure intimidation and abuse of office and privilege.

@Jack_ng01 If this is an agenda the he has walked right into it...

May God bless the day HE Peter Obi discovered Mark Okoye as a 25yr old and brought him back to Anambra Serving 3 Govs back to back is not a small feet I know y'all are jealous of him but his political life is just getting started After Soludo, we make him Gov too Y'all should hug the transformer

@tunisky @AishaYesufu The law she's proposing already exists in the PPA (Public Procurement Act) since 2007. She needs to update her knowledge of the law.

@AishaYesufu Tell Oshiomole who represent your senatorial district in Edo State to sponsor a bill to that effect.

Contractors Payment Compliance Act   There is a need for a strong, enforceable law to be enacted that compels every tier of government (Federal, State, and Local) to pay contractors all due invoices within 30 days, with mandatory interest (at least at the prevailing Central Bank of Nigeria Monetary Policy Rate plus 5%) on any delayed payment.   Contractors will deliver on their work only for governments to delay payments for months or years, pushing many businesses into distress and liquidation. A Contractors Payment Compliance Act will make it mandatory for government to pay within 30 days, with automatic interest on delays. No more using contractors as unwilling bankers!   The persistent delay in government payment to contractors constitutes a major obstacle to economic growth, infrastructure delivery, and job creation in Nigeria.

@Babanbiba @AishaYesufu Why is it not being enforced. Are contractors aware of this provision in the PPA?

Section 37 PPA, 2007 – Interest on Delayed Payments Every public procurement contract must contain clear payment terms and conditions. Payment is to be made in accordance with the contract and within the stipulated period. Where payment is delayed beyond sixty (60) days, the contractor becomes entitled to interest on the unpaid amount at the rate specified in the contract. The contract document must contain provisions specifying: The period of sixty days for payment; and The applicable interest rate payable as a penalty for late payment. �

@officialABAT @narendramodi Is this a bait for a 3rd term campaign as we have during Obasanjo years?

I warmly congratulate Prime Minister Narendra Modi @narendramodi on the historic milestone of becoming India’s longest-serving elected Prime Minister. This remarkable achievement reflects the enduring confidence and trust the people of India have reposed in his leadership over three consecutive mandates. His dedication to public service, commitment to national development, and influential leadership on the global stage continue to inspire millions worldwide. Beyond being a great friend of Nigeria, Prime Minister Modi is a personal friend and trusted ally whom I can always count on. Over the years, I have come to deeply admire his wisdom, courage, and commitment to the progress and prosperity of his nation. As a distinguished recipient of Nigeria’s national honour, the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON), he has also contributed immensely to strengthening the bonds of friendship and cooperation between our two countries. On behalf of the Government and people of Nigeria, I wish Prime Minister Modi continued good health, wisdom, and success as he leads India to even greater heights. — Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President, Federal Republic of Nigeria Presidential Villa, Abuja June 9, 2026

@mamatii001 @officialABAT @narendramodi @PeterObi I already know you will write nonsense. You did not disappoint.

@officialABAT @narendramodi The India prime minister is performing just like you. Far different from that us€|€ss china to China machine called @PeterObi

@gbidab @realkenokonkwo @Zim09905110 I watched those videos and it was shocking how a man can make a 180° turn on two individuals without blinking an eye. He's indeed a terrible guy.

@realkenokonkwo @Zim09905110 @realkenokonkwo I don't fancy either Gbajue, or Kojoli, but you've not been able to say how Obi and Atiku suddenly became the opposites of what you said they were before within some months, without changing positions or occupying new offices and Nigerians are highly interested.

It has been brought to my notice that there is a letter circulating online from the hypocrite, Peter Obi, and his Lawyers that I should pay him N5b. Hahaha! If Peter Obi is looking for money to campaign, he should privately ask me for assistance, not come from extortion, and I will help him. I did so when I was his Spokesperson paying for my flight tickets and booking for my hotel accommodation to some of our campaigns. I have not read the letter. Let me sound this note of warning, the Lawyers must take responsibility for any information I may have to divulge, which I acquired as a spokesperson, but which by my conscience I have not shared with anyone. My principle is that I do not use any confidential information I share with anyone against the person except the person who becomes unintelligent enough to tow the line of foolishness. Anyone who decides to sue his former Spokesperson for defamation is indeed very unwise. I will reply to the letter whenever I have the time to read it later in the day. Please send it here if you have it. It will be a shame to Peter Obi and his Lawyers if they do not take this case to court. I don't have time or patience for scammers. According to Obunike Ohaegbu, "I am Obunike Ohaegbu, aspirant for Nnewi North/Nnewi South Ekwusigo Federal Constituency and I am saying that I was scammed and the party blames PO."

@realkenokonkwo @Zim09905110 I can see how you made a 180° turn on Obi and Atiku in the videos. You are indeed a great man (without conscience).

@Zim09905110 I agree with you that lawyers have levels. Go and ask people what it means that someone made second class upper with honours in Law School. By the grace of God, that is who Kenneth Okonkwo is.

@NigeriaNDCHQ I see a lot of comments here saying Theo is an Atiku boy. Obi was once an Atiku boy also. If Obi can become the NDC presidential candidate, Theo can be its Director of Communication.

NDC Approves Key Appointments in New Media and Strategic Communications The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has approved the appointments of Agada Abuh Theophilus as Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, and Brian Dennis as Deputy Director of New Media and Strategic Communications Agada Abuh Theophilus (@TheoAbuAgada) is a strategic communications professional with a proven record across political campaigns, corporate brand management, institutional PR, and new media. Agada is an Associate of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations. He holds a Master of Arts degree in Development Communications, specialising in strategic communication for social and institutional development, and is currently a PhD candidate researching election administration and management. Brian Dennis (@XBrianDennis) is a communications analyst with seven years of experience in strategic and political communications. He holds a Master’s degree in Peace and Conflict Resolution. The party is excited to welcome both appointees and looks forward to the energy, expertise, and fresh perspective they bring to its communications efforts. The NDC is confident that their leadership will strengthen the party’s voice and deepen its engagement with Nigerians across every platform.

@Eloka208784 @NigeriaNDCHQ @TheoAbuAgada Obi was once an Atiku boy.

@NigeriaNDCHQ @TheoAbuAgada again,una never serious ooo. A known ATIKU boy?

@therealveev @officialABAT Dey there and complain. Thousands of new house foundations are being laid across the country daily.

@officialABAT Imagine what you're sharing when there's gross insecurity, hungry and starving citizens, erratic power supply, and so on. Person wey never chop, how dem wan take build house. Just resign or die or do whatever it is that people your age do.

When I placed the Renewed Hope Agenda before Nigerians, I did not speak of housing in vague terms. I gave my word that this administration would work to make decent homes affordable again, and that a hardworking family, after years of paying rent, would finally have a path to a house of its own. Let me account for that promise plainly, by juxtaposing what we pledged beside what we have actually achieved. 1/

@NigeriaNDCHQ Do NDC have an Exco with a national chairman? Why does everything stop at Dickson's table?

PRESS STATEMENT A delegation of the national leadership of the Kwankwasiya movement last night met with the national leader, His Excellency Senator Henry Seriake Dickson and the leadership of the NDC. The close door meeting was aimed at resolving the issues between the Kwankwasiya movement and the legacy officials of NDC in Kano State. Senator Dickson and the NDC leadership are mediating in the process in order to enhance inclusion and participation by every party member. The NDC leadership will not impose candidates in Kano State, and indeed across the nation as the party cherishes the virtues of internal democracy. The meeting which lasted several hours was productive. The NDC has not released any official results of its primary elections in any state. Hence, the public and party members are urged to disregard any such list in circulation. E-sign: Osa Director Esq National Publicity Secretary

TIME FOR NATIONAL RECONCILIATION, RE-ORIENTATION & RECONSTRUCTION The 2027 Presidential election is expected to be a major fight between PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU and his biggest challenger, ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR. It promises to be the battle of the Tians. A third force, hopefully, may show up, like it did in 2023, but not with enough fire power and tenacity to upstage, and obliterate, the two elder statesmen. This is why it has become pertinent, and urgent, for our dear party ADC to change the traditional way of playing politics by becoming a link between the old and modern, conservative and cosmopolitan tendencies, veteran politicians and technocrats in government. There's no better combination than this duo, assuring of a colorful blend. The North and the South will reunite in a game of ethnic & religious rivalries. The present combustive tensions, and absolute chaos, cannot be allowed to continue. It will consume all of us. The time has come to retrace our steps and return to the days of robust ideas, ideologies and inspirational figures. Our founding fathers such as Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, The Sardauna Sir Ahmadu Bello, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, and others, tried their best, even if they were not perfect. Today, we've completely derailed from the legacies they bequeathed to us. The politics of gansterism has become unbearably malignant in our nation. This is the type of strong bridge we need between the North and the South. We must act before it is too late... AARE DELE MOMODU
