Returning from Katsina tonight, I was overwhelmed by the joyful and energetic reception from the good people of Bichi, Kano State. Thank you for the tremendous love. - RMK

His Excellency, Sen @KwankwasoRM, PhD, FNSE, paid a visit to the NDC Headquarters in Bichi Local Government, Kano State, tonight on his way back from Katsina State. He was warmly received by a mammoth crowd of enthusiastic NDC and Kwankwasiyya loyalists, whose unwavering support and commitment continue to strengthen the movement across the state.

Happy Birthday to a dogged soldier in faith, Anthony Cardinal Okogie. Today, I joyfully join the Catholic community in Nigeria, in particular the Archdiocese of Lagos and the entire nation, in celebrating a true soldier of Christ and an exemplary leader, His Eminence, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, Emeritus Archbishop of Lagos, on his Triple Milestones. We give immense thanks to God as His Eminence marks his 90th Birthday Anniversary, 60th Priestly Ordination Anniversary, and 55th Episcopal Ordination Anniversary today, June 16, 2026. Cardinal Okogie’s life has been a remarkable testament to inimitable faith, courage, and deep commitment to justice and the welfare of the common man. His fearless voice in defence of truth and good governance continues to inspire generations. May the Almighty God grant him continued good health, peace, and abundant blessings as he continues to guide us with his wisdom. Happy Birthday, Your Eminence! -PO

Obi condemns court-ordered deregistration of ADC, others vanguardngr.com/2026/06/obi-…

To all Kwankwansiyyas & Obidients, You don’t need ADC or Atiku disqualified. Injury to one is injury to all. I understand that Kenneth Okonkwo & ADC campaigners hold a grudge against us. But we need them in the race. The more the merrier. We need divided votes up north. There is a psychology to every election. We must reject every attempt at deregistering the ADC. We have to make sure the APC never gets the lion share of Northern votes. With the ADC in the race, then it’s a three horse race. Northern sentiments against Asiwaju is more pronounced with Atiku Abubakar on the ballot. So lend your voice to this. Make sure the ADC survives. They must be on the ballot in 2027. THERE IS A PSYCHOLOGY TO THIS THING! ✌️

Sustainable Success Is Built on Competence, Integrity, Discipline and hardworking. On Saturday, I had the privilege of interacting with young entrepreneurs, professionals, business leaders, and members of the emerging generation at the This Generation Conference hosted by Summit Bible Church in Abuja. Our discussion focused on what it takes to thrive in the marketplace despite prevailing economic challenges. I shared insights from my years in business and public service, emphasizing that sustainable success is built on integrity, competence, discipline, and a commitment to creating value for society. I reminded participants that no nation develops by consumption alone. Nations progress when their citizens are productive, innovative, and committed to excellence. Our young people must resist the temptation of shortcuts and instead embrace education, skills acquisition, entrepreneurship, and ethical leadership. The future of Nigeria depends largely on the quality of leadership and enterprise this generation is willing to build. We must move from a culture of sharing poverty to one of creating prosperity through production, innovation, and responsible governance. I left encouraged by the energy, intelligence, and determination of the young people I met. Their questions, ideas, and aspirations reaffirmed my belief that Nigeria’s greatest resource remains her people. Together, through hard work, integrity, and purposeful leadership, we can build the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO

Coping with the systematic collapse of our institutions. When the controversy surrounding the removal of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, unfolded, I expressed a concern to a friend: that the greatest damage might not be immediate, but the message it sends about the sanctity and independence of our institutions to the world. Strong economies are built on trust. Investors can manage security risks, policy risks, and even market risks. What they fear most is uncertainty in the rule of law and a judiciary that is perceived to be vulnerable to political pressure. Today, many Nigerians have lost confidence in systems that should protect them. Businesses increasingly request that their contracts be governed by foreign jurisdictions because they have greater confidence in those institutions than in our own. That should concern every patriot. We must never sacrifice our sacred institutions on the altar of politics. Nations rise when institutions are stronger than individuals. "The federal High Court Judgement ordering the de-registration of the ADC and other political parties is just one of those activities that further reduces the common man's trust in our legal systems" it should be reversed. I pledge that we will restore the dignity, independence, and integrity of the Judiciary. The common man must have a voice. The business community must be protected from legal uncertainty and intimidation. Justice must be impartial, accessible, and respected by all. To our judges, legal luminaries, senior advocates, and lawyers: this is your moment. Rise, defend the rule of law, take back your country! A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Akpakomiza is attacking one man. Dave Umahi is attacking one man. Julius Abure is attacking one man. Bayo Onanuga is attacking one man. Kenneth Okonkwo is attacking one man. Adams Oshiomhole is attacking one man. The entire Establishment is attacking one man. Wike is promising Rivers votes. Adeleke is promising Osun votes. Okpebholo is promising Edo votes. Soludo is promising Anambra votes. Akpabio is promising Akwa Ibom votes. Dave Umahi is promising Ebonyi votes. Dapo Abiodun is promising Ogun votes. Sheriff Oborevwori is promising Delta votes. 32 governors are promising Heaven & earth. They renew the promise every market day. It must be wonderful to walk in his shoes. Our man is on everyone’s lips. You will think he snatched their wives. Do you know what it takes for one man to put Aso Rock & the entire Establishment under constant pressure? To the point of forcing grown men to renew their pledges on camera every market day?! He is not your mate jor. If e easy, try am! 💪💪

Dickson, Obi, Kwankwaso have a historic opportunity not because they are special but because providence may have decided to grease the machine of Nigeria’s democracy through their partnership. They have a duty to posterity to keep their eyes on the ball. This is how men are made

One year ago, Fulani Islamic terrorists stormed Yelwata, Nigeria, slaughtering more than 200 Christians. Most were women and children sheltering at a local Catholic mission. Today, we remember the martyrs. The world must not forget the Christian genocide in Nigeria.

I am deeply saddened by the tragic death of retired Major-General Rabe Abubakar, in the hands of his terrorist captors in Katsina State. After a distinguished career of service to the nation, General Abubakar deserved a peaceful retirement. His tragic passing underscores the severe and worsening state of insecurity across Nigeria. The continued loss of both serving and retired military officers, as well as other Nigerians to terrorists has become far too frequent and must not be normalised. I urge the relevant authorities to intensify efforts to secure the immediate and safe release of his wife, and others who remain in captivity. My heartfelt condolences go to his family, friends, and associates. - RMK

Insecurity: Nigeria Cannot Continue Like This I received with deep shock and sadness the tragic death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, who reportedly died while in the custody of kidnappers. Earlier, before this heartbreaking news, I also received disturbing reports of renewed bandit attacks in Sokoto and Kwara States. The armed bandits reportedly blocked a market route in Sokoto and abducted traders, while terrorists invaded communities in Kwara State, kidnapping scores of citizens and killing innocent people, are heartbreaking and alarming. These incidents are not isolated tragedies; they are clear manifestations of the deepening security crisis confronting our nation. But particularly painful is the reported death of Major General Rabe Abubakar, a distinguished military officer who dedicated a significant part of his life to defending Nigeria and protecting its citizens. It is tragic that a man who served his fatherland with honour, rose through the ranks of the Nigerian Armed Forces, and retired after years of meritorious service, would meet such a heartbreaking end at the hands of criminal elements. His death is a national tragedy and a sobering indictment of the insecurity that has engulfed our country. When traders can no longer travel safely to markets, farmers cannot access their farms, communities live under constant fear, and even retired senior military officers are not spared from the menace of kidnapping and violent crime, it becomes evident that our nation is facing a grave security emergency. Security remains the foremost responsibility of any government. Every life lost, every citizen abducted, and every community displaced represent a painful failure of our collective duty to protect the Nigerian people. The recurring attacks in Sokoto, Kwara, and many other parts of the country demonstrate that insecurity is not only persisting but spreading in both scope and intensity. I once again urge the Federal Government and our security agencies to move beyond rhetoric and adopt a more proactive, intelligence-driven, technology-based, and coordinated approach to tackling insecurity. We must strengthen our security architecture, improve intelligence gathering, secure our borders, equip and motivate our security personnel, and ensure that those responsible for these heinous crimes are apprehended and brought to justice. A nation where citizens live in fear cannot prosper. A nation where economic activities are disrupted daily by criminal elements cannot attract investment, create jobs, or guarantee a better future for its people. We must urgently reclaim every part of our country from terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and all criminal gangs threatening our collective existence. My heartfelt condolences go to the family of Major General Rabe Abubakar, his former colleagues in the Armed Forces, and all Nigerians who have lost loved ones to insecurity. I also sympathise with the families of those killed, those abducted, and the affected communities in Sokoto, Kwara, and across the nation. The recurring tragedies and embarrassing security failures we continue to witness make the quest for a New Nigeria not only necessary but inevitable. We must build a nation where every citizen can live, work, travel, and pursue legitimate economic activities without fear. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Today, I am honoured to join distinguished Nigerians in celebrating a statesman and elder of our nation, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, GCFR, on the occasion of his 84th birthday and the public presentation of books documenting his remarkable life, service, and contributions to Nigeria and Africa. General Abdulsalami occupies a unique place in our national history. At a critical moment in Nigeria's journey, he demonstrated uncommon courage, patriotism, and selflessness by guiding our nation through a peaceful transition to democratic governance. His actions helped lay the foundation for the democratic dispensation that Nigeria continues to build upon today. As we celebrate General Abdulsalami today, we are reminded that true leadership is measured not by the accumulation of power, but by the positive impact one leaves on people and institutions. His life continues to demonstrate that service to the nation must always be guided by responsibility and a commitment to the common good. May Almighty God continue to grant him good health, wisdom, and strength to keep serving humanity and our nation. Thank you, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. -PO

Theo Abu came up on a space I attended two days ago and said: "..no presidential candidate can say they will curb insecurity ... anyone including Obi who says so is lying or just trying to get votes..." That's the Media person representing NDC and by extension Peter Obi. @TheoAbuAgada you are a misfit for that role

Yesterday, I had the honour of hosting my brother and partner, His Excellency Peter Obi, at my residence in Abuja. I warmly welcomed him back from his highly productive international trip, and we engaged in frank and productive discussions on key partisan and national issues. Our party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), remains united. As leaders, we must continue to demonstrate maturity by making the necessary sacrifices and tolerating our differences in pursuit of our shared goal. We are resolute in this mission, and together, we shall ensure that Nigeria is OK. - RMK

You blame every Igbo person for the murders of Sardauna and Tafawa Balewa, yet you cry when someone blames Hausas, Fulanis, or Muslims for the atrocities committed by Boko Haram and bandit terrorists. You’re a huge hypocrite!
