On June 12, 2026, I launched my book, “How Good People Elect Bad Government”.
It is my attempt to help well meaning Nigerians understand their role in governance and how our apathy has often handed power to those who have failed the country.
This is not a book about blame. It is about responsibility and how good people can overcome political violence, patronage and other barriers to building a better Nigeria.
If you want to understand why Nigeria is where it is, and what citizens can do to change it, this book is for you.

Well done, Dr Sam and Charles. Indeed, Charles put it clearly: PO is probably too sophisticated for Nigerian politics.
While others see leadership in terms of position and power, PO sees it as responsibility and service.
There’s A Major Disconnect Between Peter Obi And Nigerian Politics - Amadi
Peter Obi cannot run a typical Nigerian political organisation. He is a minimalist who prefers to keep things small. Yunusa Tanko made it clear when he said, “I didn’t leave; I was exited.” Ultimately, Peter Obi’s political management skills may not be strong enough to navigate the complexities of Nigerian politics.

My last commentary on this issue. For now I’ll return to speaking on what I do, until there is a need to speak on what affects me which is politics.
I had an interesting conversation with @UIsnazzz which brought my attention to the need for balance, so it doesn’t look like I’m a closet supporter of the current administration.
Also @DanielOtabor and I had a conversation that brought balance to some things I wasn’t informed on. Which is the importance of these sort of conversations.
I failed to realize how easy it is to be a part of a propaganda and this video provides that balance. I believe the anthem was a decoy from the more trivial issue which was the unrest and violence.
But I wish that incident didn’t happen, then they wouldn’t have had anything to use.
We all deserve better, me and you both.
Godspeed.

I wish I knew your real name. But the truth is, I don’t have money to spend on a court case o. Give me some time :).
Sir, if at the end of this month and you don't declare interest for presidency in the 2023 election, then be ready for a legal action from me. Leave #AFCON2021 for Orji UZOR Kalu, that's his calling, not yours. Your calling is excellent economic leadership. Congrats

“I know the kind of people I'm dealing with. People should ask why Governors defected to APC and I stood my ground. President Bola Tinubu's administration tried to blackmail me as well" - Governor Seyi Makinde reveals

If you are a Nigerian and you attend a concert hosted by any Nigerian artist this December, you are a foöl.
I have not seen a completely useless industry like the entertainment industry here.
The reason they remain relevant is that we don’t keep them on their toes. So they do as they like, come online to do giveaways whenever it pleases them, and flaunt their luxurious lifestyles and vehicles for you people to debate about who is richer and who drives more expensive cars.
The radio silence from your celebrities is very intentional. Since Tinubu came into power, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Asake, Tems, Yemi Alade, Tiwa Savage, Ayra Starr, Rema, Adekunle Gold, Zlatan, BNXN, and EVERY other person in that industry have said absolutely nothing about the government. Not a single criticism, not even an attempt to encourage their fans to get their PVCs. Lmao, they can’t even publicly tell their fans to vote for a candidate because most of them are friends with people in Aso Rock.
You see how I did not mention the likes of Davido, Olamide, Ajebo Hustlers, Teni, Dandizzy, and Duncan Mighty? These ones are not even subtle about their support for APC and Tinubu. They are either friends with ST, take APC gigs, or dine with Tinubu himself.
If not for the fact that we are very unserious people, no one should be taking Davido seriously after that gimmick he pulled during the Osun State election.
All of them in that industry don’t rate you people, especially those of you who act like fatherless children defending some of them on social media every time.
The election is in January. Most of them will travel out of the country, then, after the election, they’ll come back to host shows, collect money from you people who are suffering, and come on stage at 3 a.m. after keeping you standing from 10 p.m. They might even kick some of you in the face.
But I guess Nigerians have a humiliation kink. If you hold these people accountable and keep them on their toes, they will be on their best behaviour. But then, there’s nothing like cancel culture here anyway.
Nigerian celebrities, pastors, and politicians are God’s favourites. They hit the jackpot by having people like you in their lives.

I like that this message came out because there are people who still think that @PeterObi is desperate to be President.
First, even Governor he was forced to contest. The first time a delegation met him to contest for Governor, he knelt down and beg them to leave him alone.
With running for President, it was Nigerian Youth who pushed him because they see their future in him
I am glad he answered the call and he is working .
He change the game in 2023 in a way that shocked everyone even microphone 🎤 licking weirdo
2027 will be a bigger shock considering the gain he has made with Kwankwaso.
@PeterObi is an intentional politician

LAGOS STATE_ : REAFFIRMING COMMITMENT TO PEACE, ELECTORAL INTEGRITY AMID POLITICAL INTIMIDATION
Yesterday, 12th November 2026, I arrived in Lagos from Abuja to attend the commendation service of my very dear elder brother, Chief Sir Okey Ezibe, KSC, which took place at Our Saviour’s Church, Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, as part of the activities leading to the funeral of the distinguished businessman and people-builder.
At the close of the service, I proceeded to Oregun to join our supporters and participants at the Lagos State edition of our ongoing series of town hall meetings across the country.
Earlier, I had been informed that a group of thugs had mobilised to attack participants who arrived early for the meeting. Let me reiterate that the political violence being enabled by certain political actors against our supporters is an ill wind that blows no one any good. Anarchy consumes everyone. We will remain law-abiding, even in the face of extreme provocation.
Despite the disruption and the concerns surrounding the event, we proceeded with our town hall meeting. As usual, participants raised important questions and concerns about reviving the economy, reducing the high cost of living, tackling endemic corruption, addressing insecurity, caring for vulnerable citizens, and protecting the integrity of our elections.
In my remarks, I emphasised that the first responsibility of any government is to secure the country and unite its people around a shared purpose. I also outlined our commitment to policies that will reduce the cost of living, improve the welfare of Nigerians, and aggressively invest in critical areas of development, particularly healthcare and education, while addressing poverty and the needs of vulnerable citizens.
On the forthcoming elections, I reminded participants that protecting the integrity of the electoral process is a shared responsibility. Every effort must be made to ensure that votes are properly protected, from the polling unit through ward collation to the final collation and declaration of results.
Our party, the NDC, will also fulfil the responsibility to deploy competent agents to polling units to observe and document the process.
I encouraged our people to eschew violence while remaining peaceful, vigilant, and resolute in defending their democratic rights.
I thank the organisers of the town hall meeting for their efforts. My appreciation also goes to our candidates in Lagos State for their continued dedication and to the good people of Lagos State for their participation and commitment to peaceful democratic engagement.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Journalism is not a crime. Free Daniel Ojukwu now!
A journalist should not be made to pay for asking questions, investigating public expenditure or holding power to account.
@Mazi_OJD of @fijnigeria is currently being held at the Kuje Custodial Centre following his remand by a Federal High Court in Abuja over 12 counts connected to investigative reports on public spending.
His bail hearing has been adjourned until 1 December 2026.
At PLSI, we believe that a free press is indispensable to a transparent and accountable society. Journalists play a critical role in uncovering issues of public interest, strengthening civic participation and ensuring that those entrusted with public resources answer to the people.
The use of criminal prosecution in response to investigative reporting raises serious concerns about press freedom and the chilling effect it can have on journalists and the wider civic space.
We call for Daniel Ojukwu's immediate release and an end to the prosecution of journalists for carrying out legitimate public-interest reporting.
Silencing journalists does not serve the public. It weakens accountability and the people's right to know.

I’m just blocking these African accounts. I think it’s safe to say Nigerian women are full blown retarded prostitutes incapable of a normal healthy relationship.
They are also toxic, they cheat, they are definitely not loyal. Don’t have a baby it’s probably not yours. As a mother I wouldn’t want my son dealing with any of them. I would seriously object. Massive red flags

I was sleeping in a studio session and I heard in my sleep my engineer talking about macro economics and I woke up so angry and he had never seen me that angry before. APC is a curse and I have no patience for anyone who tries to explain this evil away.
"I now spend almost 1 million naira every single month on fuel and power-related conversations. To fuel my car every single month, you have to spend about 400,000 naira. To fuel my generator, I am spending about 80,000 naira roughly every single week. I am also paying power bills which is on the high. Bear in mind, I also have solar power system. With solar, I am spending that much money every month... How are people surviving? How are people coping?"
