While Amaechi and Atiku are fighting themselves for the ADC presidential ticket, Peter Obi has just been screened and cleared as the official flag bearer of the NDC. In this life, learn to work smart and not hard.

Despite this mismanagement, Nigeria’s potential for greatness remains. We cannot give up on the dream of a prosperous and secure nation. What we need is competent, compassionate, and committed leadership. Our priority must be prudent economic management, investment in human capital, rule of law, and infrastructure development. We must mobilise our enormous natural resources to drastically reduce poverty and achieve rapid, sustained growth. We should learn from nations like China, India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh, which have turned around their economies through disciplined leadership and people-centred policies. Nigeria too can rebound, but only if we exit the path of incompetence and fiscal irresponsibility. The current administration’s failures must not lead us to despair. They should instead fuel our determination to rebuild. Nigeria has the resources, talent, and resilience to become an industrialised nation in record time. With the right leadership, we can defeat terrorism, restore security, and guarantee Nigerians safe communities where enterprise and social life can thrive. We must end a system where leaders feast while the people starve, where politics enriches a few and impoverishes the many. The old politics must end, and a new politics of prosperity for all must begin. Against all odds, we will return Nigeria to the path of prosperity and justice. We will not relent. We will not be discouraged. The mission is clear: Nigeria will rise again. I call on political leaders to reflect on the crises confronting our nation and recognise this as a moment to transcend personal interests. We must reject corruption, bigotry, and division. We must embrace a new Nigeria where leadership is defined by competence, compassion, and commitment. Despite today’s challenges, the future remains bright. Happy Independence Day to all Nigerians. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

A Great Nigeria is Still Possible Statement by Mr. Peter Obi, Labour Party Presidential Candidate in the 2023 Presidential Election, on the Occasion of Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary, 1 October 2025 Fellow Nigerians, Today should be a day of joy and remembrance, a day to celebrate the struggles of our heroes who fought to free Nigeria from colonial rule. It should be a day for gratitude to Almighty God for His blessings on our nation. On 1 October 1960, Nigeria gained independence to global acclaim as an emerging African economic and political power. Such was our potential that Time Magazine predicted the rise of a true African superpower that would lead the continent with pride. Our founding fathers fought for independence with confidence, passion, and determination to build a prosperous Nigeria that would stand alongside the world’s most advanced nations. Unfortunately, tragic failures of leadership derailed this vision. Yet despite these setbacks, Nigeria has always shown resilience. In 1999, we overcame military dictatorship and restored democracy, beginning a renewed journey toward prosperity, freedom, and justice. That journey helped us build Africa’s largest economy and strengthen democratic institutions. But over the last decade, under the APC’s incompetent, divisive, and corrupt leadership, Nigeria has been greatly diminished. By the end of 2007, our total debt was about N2.5 trillion, only 10 percent of GDP, after President Obasanjo’s government secured debt forgiveness of over 30 billion dollars. By 2014, Nigeria had become Africa’s largest economy and was primed to achieve middle-income status. In 2015, for the first time, a ruling party was defeated in a presidential election, marking another milestone for our democracy. Today, the picture is bleak. Our total debt stands at about N175 trillion, nearly 50 percent of GDP, without any improvement in productive sectors. Nigeria has fallen to the fourth-largest economy in Africa, behind South Africa, Egypt, and Algeria. Our democracy is now described as “undemocratic.” In just one year, this administration pushed over 15 million Nigerians into acute poverty. Today, more than 150 million Nigerians lack access to basic healthcare, education, water, and sanitation. This number grows daily under an APC government that pursues brutal revenue-driven policies while ignoring the welfare of its people. Nigeria now ranks among the lowest in the world on human development indicators. This government taxes struggling citizens and small businesses heavily, while indulging in extravagance. Billions are spent on new presidential jets, yachts, and luxury cars that cost more than the entire 2024 budget for primary healthcare. The Vice President’s residence was renovated at a cost of N25 billion, more than the combined capital budgets of six major federal university teaching hospitals. Over N10 billion was allocated for car parks and canteens for the National Assembly, more than the capital budget of the Ministry of Science and Technology at a time when science is crucial to national growth. Meanwhile, Nigerians pay more for everything and receive less. Passports, permits, electricity, petrol, food, rent, and healthcare all cost more. Yet power supply remains unreliable, food insecurity deepens, and UNICEF and WFP project that 33 million Nigerians will face acute hunger in 2025. This government borrows recklessly, not for investment in productive infrastructure but for wasteful consumption. Insecurity has further crippled our economy. Nigerians now live in fear of travelling by road. Kidnapping has become rampant, with billions paid in ransom. Incompetence in security management has turned our country into one of the most terrorised and unsafe nations in the world. Cronyism, corruption, and disregard for the rule of law have scared away investors, while other African nations overtake us as preferred investment destinations.

Participation in Black Congressional Week Events in Washington, DC Yesterday, Thursday, 25th September, in Washington, DC, I participated in the activities of Black Congressional Week, with special emphasis on Georgia State events. First was the Congressional Black Caucus Week Reception, hosted by U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock at the U.S. Senate Kennedy Caucus Room. Senator Warnock, a strong advocate for Africa’s development, encouraged me to discuss African democracy and development. Second was an engagement hosted by Georgia Power, the largest independent power company in Georgia, which generates and distributes over 20,000 megawatts of electricity nationwide. My conversation with the company’s CEO, Ms Kim Clark, was deeply insightful. Third was the One Voice Africa event, organised by a group committed to defending Black immigrant dignity. I urged them to take a greater interest in promoting good governance in Africa, noting that Africa’s potential is immeasurable if led by visionary and responsible leaders. Finally, the highlight of the day was the conferment of Honorary Citizenship of Georgia on me by the State of Georgia. For me, the day’s events were about learning, serving, and remaining committed to building a new Nigeria that is truly possible. -PO

Wole Soyinka’s children should restrain him so that he doesn't continue to expose his lack of cognitive ability to articulate his reasoning at that age. ~Kenneth Okonowo

In the new Nigeria we seek, this type of frivolity would be unthinkable. That new nation is a land of the POssible. -PO

WHEN MOVING FORWARD MEANS HEADING BACKWARDS. 1. You hear; “elections are over, we must move forward”. 2. Moving forward to where? 3. How interesting would it be to accept to embark on a 1,000km journey in a bus with faulty transmission and overheating issues, on the assurance that the driver master strategist in driving. 4. Whether from Senator @benmurraybruce of from former President @GEJonathan, it is good to wish that the country moves forward, but it is more important to ensure that such moving forward is not a heading backwards. 5. Honouring forgery, perjury and involvement in narcotics trafficking with legal technical escapism is definitely not the way to move forward. The forward location for these should ills should dress one in jail suit and cell. 6. Late former President Yar’adua humbly told those congratulating him that he was not credibly elected, but that he will ensure that laws which will ensure that the kind of rigging that brought him to power do not occur again. With time Nigerians saw he sincerity and supported his government. 7. I see no patriotism in not speaking against obvious evils staring everyone and the entire world in the face, but rather go on congratulate the product of such evils. 8. The winning of the P&ID case in the UK was welcomed with joy. The case was won because the Judges looked at the substance of the case, and not seek to find technicalities to pass judgement to satisfy a party. If they did, they would definitely find many. 9. Anyone who fails to condemn in clear terms the anomalies and obvious crimes against the people; whose votes were ultimately not made to count, because of inconsequential legal technicalities do not mean well for the Country, and definitely not qualify as a patriot. 10. If you don’t understand how evil ignored develops into a monster, ask Dr. @kfayemi for he can clearly see where the lies he and others told against @GEJonathan in 2012 have led the country to. From then till now, the country has been in downward trend in all aspects. It was good he confessed and asked for pardon, but the impact of that single lie has gotten us to the point our Supreme Court made know issue about lying/perjury, even on matters concerning the highest office of the land. 11. After the lies of 2012, in 2015 Nigerians were asked to move forward that the elections were over. In retrospect, isn’t it now obvious that that moving forward ended up being heading backwards. 12. For how long more shall the people be asked to move forward even when all indicators show moving backwards?

Happy Birthday @falzthebahdguy 🎉

7 years old Godisgreat Munachimso has broken the camel's back. Listen to his 'THE 25TH FEBRUARY RAPE: A SPEAR IN THE HEART'... as he addresses the failures of the Buhari/Yakubu conducted election. He called it a spear in the heart that left the people in misery. Please share and follow him @Godsmunaconcept

A man who ran for President and somehow got into that position after tendering his qualifications including a bachelors degree from University of Chicago is taking a legal action stopping the institution from revealing details of his academic records. One would have expected him to encourage the institution to release all his academic records to shame his accusers. On the contrary the man is blocking every move to make his academic records public. Is this not a clear indication that he is trying desperately to hide a very ugly truth? #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary

Who is this man??? No greater truth has been told to ECOWAS and it's ECOMOG than this.

Very soon, those that support evil will cry as a result of the evil they support and No one will hear them out.

To @SecBlinken: Tinubu is a drug trafficker who has destroyed countless lives. Recognizing Tibubu is a travesty. The election was marred by fraudulence and is contested in the Nigerian judiciary. I'm disgusted with the @StateDept's corruption: state.gov/secretary-blinkens….
