Pinned, just because.

Dear beloved sports-loving Nigerian youths, After watching the performances of Davido, Burna Boy, and Rema at the opening of the 2026 World Cup—at a time when Nigeria, the giant of Africa, is absent—I felt a measure of consolation. This was reinforced by the fact that many Nigerians playing for clubs worldwide are representing other countries. Felix Nmecha, for instance, set a record by scoring the fastest goal at six minutes for Germany. I write to you therefore, knowing that this country belongs to you, the youth. You are more of stakeholders in Nigeria’s future than I am. I am 64 years old; by God’s grace, much of my journey is behind me, while yours lies ahead. It is therefore imperative that you rise to the challenge by obtaining your PVC, your most powerful tool for driving the change you desire. In the last three years alone, over 15 million Nigerians have turned 18—enough to decide who becomes President, Governor, Senator, Member of the House, or Local Government Chairman. Indeed, enough to shape the nation’s future. I know many of you are sceptical about politics and political parties. I understand why, but scepticism must not become surrender. You do not need to belong to any party or wait for anyone to organise you. Organise yourselves in your streets, campuses, communities, workplaces, churches, mosques, and social groups. Mobilise, debate, demand accountability, and take part in choosing those you wish to entrust with leadership. If you are organised and wish to hear directly from me, invite me. I will come and share my plans for you and our nation. Do not sit on the sidelines while others decide your future. I appeal to you to register and vote. Your vote can shape who becomes the next President of our country. My young friends, this is your country. Take it back. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

"I don't support any politician." But you spend your entire day criticising Peter Obi. "I don't do politics." But you're quick to analyse anything said by Peter Obi and give it a different meaning. "I'm just for Nigeria to get better." But you never mention the insecurity in the country nor the hardship ravaging the populace. "I'm not interested in 2027." But you're tracking the activities in the NDC like it's your lifeline. "Politics is not that deep." But you've blocked almost all Peter Obi's supporters in your timeline.

Brazil is basically living on past glory because, currently, they're borderline basic. @FIFAWorldCup

The average Nigerian politician sees Peter Obi as a direct threat to their source of livelihood. It unsettles them that a man who has conquered greed could step into the arena. Their greatest shock is discovering they cannot dig up dirt on him. That failure is a major blow to their playbook. Hence, the relentless campaign of calumny against him.

I have met a lot of people that voted BAT the last time who will be voting Peter Obi next year. I have also met a lot of first timers and people who didn’t vote last time that will vote this time because they are voting for Peter Obi. Their reason is that BAT has been an incompetent failure after all his promises and shouting “Emi Lokan” in 2023 and they consider Peter Obi the best and only credible option. I haven't met any true Peter Obi supporter that is now supporting BAT or any other candidate(this is my reality) I believe this administration hasn't lived up to the hype by its agents, supporters & ministers but I cannot deny that it's been the worst ever we have seen to date. And anyone currently supporting them is delusional. That this administration has made propaganda and corruption their trademark is evident in all the arms and institutions of government. Alex Otti has shown that governance is truly not rocket science by adopting the Peter Obi model, and while BAT has failed woefully in 3 years he has excelled amazingly. It is now obvious to all that Peter Obi is the only one who can turn around the fortunes of Nigeria. There is no better option period!

When something so outrageously confusing happens to you, and your spirit is asking all the questions but your physical being stays frozen.

In continuation of my quest to deepen knowledge and impact positively on our society, yesterday June 10th, in London, I held a series of important engagements, including a fruitful meeting with Alex Vines, Director of the Africa Programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR). Our discussions focused on strengthening strategic relationships and fostering a deeper understanding of Africa’s evolving role in global affairs. It was emphasized that Africa must no longer be viewed merely through the prism of statistics or humanitarian concern, but as a serious and equal partner in shaping the future global order, much like India, Indonesia, and other emerging centres of influence. During our engagement, it became increasingly clear that Africa, and Nigeria in particular, must be placed at the centre of international conversations on partnership, trade, governance, innovation, and sustainable development. Constructive dialogue and mutual respect remain essential to building meaningful cooperation between Africa and the international community. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Exponential increase in revenue with excessive borrowing: Yet more hardship for Nigerians! In celebrating three years of his administration, President Bola Tinubu included, among his achievements, an increase in revenue from N16.8 trillion in 2022 to N35 trillion in 2025. An increase of over 100%. Shockingly, while Nigerians expected a reduction in borrowing with the exponential increase in revenue, the opposite is the case. In just three years, President Bola Tinubu’s government seems to be obsessed with excessive and imprudent borrowing, with our total debt currently about N200 trillion—a deeply disturbing increase of over N100 trillion. In addition to the exponential increases in both revenue and debt, it is also important to note that Nigeria has earned far more than the budget revenue targets due to global and regional geoeconomic and political tensions. Alarmingly, even with the astronomical increase in both revenue and debt, almost all key socio-economic and governance indicators are worse than in 2023. Multi-dimensional poverty has increased from 87 million people in 2023 to over 140 million people in 2025. Rapidly increasing unemployment and a decline in GDP per capita from $1,597 in 2023 to $1,223 in 2025, and the list goes on. Just more and more hardship for Nigerians! The question Nigerians and even the international community are asking is, “Where did all the money go?” Nigerians deserve a detailed and transparent explanation of what happened to our economy and financial resources since 2023, and a stop to the imprudent, unaccountable, and opaque management of our common patrimony. A new and productive Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK! -PO

Alex Otti is currently speaking at the Invest Lagos 3.0 opening ceremony. Listen to him as he talks about the growth of Abia State, highlighting the progress, achievements, and upcoming projects his administration has delivered within just a few years in office. I keep saying it, good governance is not rocket science. Alex Otti is doing a remarkable job just in 3years.

Media Framing of Crime Along Ethnic Lines: Divisive. As an Igbo man, I have endured stereotypes, judgment, and labelling solely based on my ethnic origins. This is not an isolated Igbo experience. Most Nigerians have, at some point, been reduced to their ethnicity rather than recognised for their true character. I understand the pain of the ordinary Fulani man today, often unfairly judged by the actions of criminals he does not support, has never met, and who are not representative of his people. Even in America, such unjust labelling fueled the civil rights movement and prompted Martin Luther King Jr. to declare that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin. Every Nigerian ethnic group is known for its unique traditions, occupations, skills, and strengths. Crime, however, has no ethnicity. A thief is a thief. A terrorist is a terrorist. A kidnapper is a kidnapper. They are bad actors, not representatives of any people. They must be identified, arrested, and punished according to the law. We must decisively abandon the dangerous practice of blaming entire ethnic groups for the actions of a few criminals. It is unjust, it breeds hatred, and it damages our national unity. Let us proudly celebrate our diverse cultures, talents, and contributions, rather than falling prey to stereotypes and prejudices that politicians and divisive interests exploit for their gain. A new Nigeria must emerge—one where no citizen is condemned because of tribe, religion, or birthplace. We can cherish our cultural roots while standing united by justice, mutual respect, and hope for a better future. We are capable of this. A new Nigeria is within our reach. -PO

Na you even sign the letter of notification of the creation of “office of directorate of politics and governance”

Chelsea fans were here having a laugh and reading how every rival said PSG will crush us at the FIFACWC Final. We took their hate well, we never complained, we didn't gaslight anybody for not liking us and supporting us against PSG because that's how it should be, rivals hating on you and not wanting you to win so that you won't have a bragging right on them. It's normal WHY ARE RIVALS THEN BEING GASLIGHTED ON THIS STREET BY ARSENAL FANS FOR NOT SUPPORTING THEM AGAINST PSG IN THE UCL FINAL?

🎵 You'll never sing that. You'll never sing thaaat. "Champions of Europe" You'll never sing that. 🎶 #UCLfinal #PSGARS

As a Football Fan, I think Arsenal deserve to win this #UCLfinal. They've been much better. As a rival Fan, I don't want Arsenal to win it. #PSGARS #UCLfinal

NOT taking anything away from Arsenal, but this is the worst PSG performance I've seen in a long time. Even worse than their performance against Chelsea last year. #PSGARS

Vote > Wait and Count > Move to Local Govt with them > Hold your 2by2 just in case. When just 500 people follow them with to Local Govt with 2by2 the rest is history.

It is my pleasure to announce that we have officially commissioned the landmark Nnenna Oti Bus Terminal in Umuahia, and it is now ready for public use. The project is a multimodal transport hub designed to accommodate more than 340 buses at once, powered by sustainable infrastructure and connected to our growing network of electric buses. The facility is named in honour of Prof. Nnenna Nnennaya‑Oti, the courageous INEC Returning Officer in the 2023 governorship election, whose integrity and patriotism remind us that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results by simply standing for the truth. Her name on this terminal is not just about one person, but a tribute to all electoral officials, security operatives, party agents, and citizens who resisted intimidation and defended democracy. With 20 electric buses already in operation and more on the way in the coming weeks, the project signals our bold vision for a modern, safe, and sustainable transport system in Abia. The facility is also supported with independent power and water systems to ensure uninterrupted operations. In my address titled “Raising the Bar”, I stated unequivocally that we have moved beyond the era of small ambitions. We refuse to be boxed into margins that underestimate our strength. This principle underpins all our undertakings. I extend special commendation to the contractors, Planet Projects Limited, for a job well done in delivering this landmark facility. I also appreciate the dedication of the Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Chimezie Ukaegbu, the SSA Transport, Dr. Obioma Nwaogbe, and their team for the critical role they played in bringing this vision to reality. I call on all residents and members of the host community to take ownership of this facility, to maintain a clean environment, and to guard against vandalism. This terminal belongs to you, and its success depends on your care. I also urge all Abians to pay their taxes regularly. Development cannot be sustained without collective responsibility, and every naira contributed helps us deliver the future our people deserve.
