The concerning building collapses in Anambra and Ogun States. The collapse of structures housing, among others, some students of Federal Polytechnic, Oko, in Amaokpala, Anambra State, is deeply distressing. I am saddened by the tragic loss of two lives in this unfortunate incident. While I understand that the deceased were not students of the Polytechnic, I extend my heartfelt condolences to their families and loved ones. I also pray for the quick recovery of those who sustained injuries. Coming barely days after the unfortunate similar incident at Amaokpala, the reported collapse of a building in Ogun State, with the loss of lives, is another painful reminder of the urgent need to prioritise the safety of our people. I commend the Anambra State Government, the Ogun State Government, the Rector of Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Dr Chioma Irene Awuzie, emergency responders, security agencies, and all involved in the rescue and relief efforts for their swift and coordinated response. Their prompt actions helped prevent what could have been even greater tragedies. These incidents call for deeper reflection and urgent action. Across our country, we must strengthen the enforcement of building regulations, ensure strict compliance with approved standards, and insist on regular structural integrity assessments to avoid preventable tragedies. The safety and welfare of our citizens, especially our young people, must remain central to our development efforts. We must continue to invest not only in educational infrastructure but also in ensuring that every environment in which our people live and learn is safe and fit for purpose. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who lost their lives, those who were injured, the students affected by the Amaokpala incident, and all impacted by these unfortunate events. May God grant eternal rest to the deceased, comfort their loved ones, and grant the injured a swift recovery. I will continue to cherish and support our students, as they remain central to building the New Nigeria we aspire to. By investing in their education, safety, and well-being, we make that New Nigeria possible. -PO

Hunger and the Insensitivity of Mr. President I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops who visited his office, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born. While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today. More importantly, we must focus on the facts and the measurable outcomes of governance. Before the present administration assumed office in 2023, an estimated 17 million Nigerians were facing acute food insecurity, primarily caused by insecurity, armed conflict, widespread banditry, and devastating floods. Today, less than three years later, that number has risen to about 35 million Nigerians. Instead of improving the situation, the crisis has worsened significantly under the current administration. The same trend is evident in poverty. Before this government took office in 2023, Nigeria’s extreme poverty was estimated at 87 million people. Current projections suggest that this number is approaching 140 million people, making Nigeria home to the largest population of people living in extreme poverty anywhere in the world. No one disputes that this administration inherited serious challenges. However, leadership is measured not by the challenges inherited but by the results achieved. The government must honestly acknowledge that its response has fallen far short of what the situation demanded, with millions more Nigerians pushed deeper into poverty and hunger. The combination of persistent insecurity, poor economic management, fiscal indiscipline, wasteful public expenditure, and inadequate investment in productive sectors has compounded the suffering of ordinary Nigerians. A responsible government must prioritise investment in education, healthcare, agriculture, security, and small businesses while pursuing policies that create jobs, expand production, and lift people out of poverty. That remains my commitment to the Nigerian people. A New Nigeria is Possible. PO

@PeterObi @Emekaelenwoke This clown should be chased out of Asorock. He has assumed God. So nonchalant.

@EricLDaugh @EricTrump In Nigeria, thieves are given National Honours.

This child needs to be freed from this man. An animal wouldn't do this.

We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Tinubu Has Pulled Off The Scam Of The Century Unchallenged 🙆🏾‍♂️ Do you know that fuel subsidy did not go? Do you know Tinubu just changed the name to “Energy Security Expenses,” fooled Nigerians, and made us start buying fuel for 10 times the price? Evidence is HERE! 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Outrage as video emerges, showing South African security personnel condoning & even participating in the looting of a foreign-owned shop. This validates the suspicion that the South African authorities are complicit. President Ramaphosa’s lip service is becoming more evident.

Na wa oo

Kids are the best at debating. Now i am GARRIfied!!!🥰🥰🥰

Dear IGP Disu (@TunjiDisu1): Kindly investigate this incident where, during a stop & search, the policeman identified here, allegedly said to a citizen: ‘If you were Igbo, I would’ve detained you’. Such remark constitutes a hate crime that portends danger to all Igbos in Nigeria.

US Firm Shares Evidence Of Forged Donald Trump’s “Thank You” Letter As Tinubu Govt Continues To Drag Nigeria’s Name Into International Disgrace parallelfactsnews.com/us-firm-shares…

The atrocities being committed by Nigerian security forces in the South East will be spoken about one day. Extrajudicial kïllings Disappearances Placing the whole region under military siege while rehabilitating terrorists in the North Arresting men and tagging them IPOB.

Today, we had a productive day speaking with Members of Congress, and we thanked Congressman Chris Smith, a wonderful person who cares about life, for calling out the evil of Tinubu's (@officialABAT) government during today's congressional hearing titled “@UN Accountability and Reform: Advancing an America First Foreign Policy.” But we want to focus squarely on Nigerian President #Tinubu for a moment. President #Tinubu just attacked former Vice President @atiku for hiring us to look out for the interests of all Nigerians in the halls of the White House and Congress. President Tinubu equates briefing the White House and Congress on his alleged links to heroin trafficking from Nigeria to #Chicago with an attack on Nigeria and as an unpatriotic act. It is unfortunate that a sitting Nigerian President, #Tinubu, equates drug trafficking with Nigeria and with everyday, hardworking Nigerians who have been struggling to feed their families since he became President. The Giant of Africa, Nigeria, and the amazing people of Nigeria are not drug traffickers, and your attempt to link your alleged illegal activities to Nigeria speaks more about you than it does about Nigeria. Calling out drug dealers is not unpatriotic. It is justice. President Tinubu, you are not on the same level as His Excellency @atiku Abubakar. He is a statesman. We are all sinners in the eyes of God, but only you and your friends have allegedly sold heroin (poison) to Americans. We will never know how many American children have died because of your alleged actions, but we are Americans. Furthermore, we are @Republicans and members of the @GOP, and we love our country. We will not stop until your name is one day added to the list of heads of state indicted by the United States for drug trafficking, alongside Juan Orlando Hernández, Manuel Noriega, and Nicolás Maduro. @JDVance @SusieWiles47 @WhiteHouse @HouseForeignGOP @HouseForeign @SFRCdems @SecRubio @StateDep @AsstSecStateAF @SenateForeign @NGRPresident @HouseNGR @NGRSenate @CNNAfrica @BBCAfrica @Reuters @AFP @ForeignPolicy @inecnigeria @RepBrianMast @SusieWiles @ReutersAfrica @chicagotribune

Why the voter registration exercise should be extended. As we continue to encourage Nigerians to participate actively in our democracy, I respectfully appeal to INEC to consider extending the voter registration window to the latest practical date that still allows adequate time for the preparation of a credible voters’ register before the 2027 general elections. Every day, more young Nigerians attain the age of 18 and become constitutionally eligible to vote. They are not just our future; they are stakeholders in our present. It would be unfortunate if many of them were denied the opportunity to exercise their civic responsibility simply because the registration process closed long before the elections. Moreover, this position is legally supported by the High Court judgment delivered on 22 November 2022 in Anaja Salmat & 3 Others v. INEC (Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1342/2022). In that decision, the Federal High Court held that voter registration should continue until 90 days before a general election to protect the constitutional voting rights of eligible Nigerians. I appreciate the enormous responsibility placed on INEC to deliver free, fair, and credible elections. I also recognise the need for sufficient time to clean the register and make the necessary logistical preparations. However, our electoral process should, as much as possible, maximise participation rather than limit it. A democracy is strengthened when every eligible citizen has the opportunity to be heard. I therefore urge INEC to adopt a registration timeline that protects the integrity of the process while ensuring that no eligible Nigerian, especially our young people, is unnecessarily disenfranchised. -PO

MY REMARKS ON THE ENUGU AIR RUNWAY EXCURSION AT BENIN AIRPORT I received, with profound relief, the news of the runway excursion involving an Enugu Air aircraft during its landing at Benin Airport today. First, I join all Nigerians in expressing heartfelt gratitude to God Almighty that all 68 passengers and crew members on board disembarked safely, with no injuries or casualties recorded. The safety of human lives must always remain our highest priority. I commend the pilot, the flight crew, and the airport emergency response teams at Benin Airport for their swift and professional handling of the situation, which averted what could have been a major tragedy. Their calmness and decisiveness under pressure are deeply commendable. While we celebrate this safe outcome, the incident serves as a sober reminder of the critical need for strict adherence to aviation safety protocols, rigorous routine maintenance, and continuous infrastructure upgrades across our airports nationwide. I urge the relevant regulatory and investigative bodies—particularly the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB)—to conduct a thorough, transparent, and timely investigation into the root cause of this incident. Learning from occurrences such as this is essential to strengthening public confidence in our aviation sector and ensuring that our skies remain consistently safe. May God continue to guide and protect all travellers across our nation. – PO

Earlier today, I met with the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, His Excellency Dr Richard Montgomery. We had a thoughtful discussion on the state of our democracy, the economy, the importance of strengthening our institutions, and the need to ensure that our elections remain free, fair, credible, and truly reflective of the will of the Nigerian people. As Dr Montgomery prepares to conclude his diplomatic assignment in Nigeria next month, I thanked him for his service and for the role he has played in strengthening the longstanding relationship between Nigeria and the United Kingdom. His time in Nigeria has been marked by constructive engagement and support for our democratic and economic development. I wished him well as he prepares for his next assignment and thanked him for the friendship and cooperation he has extended to Nigeria throughout his tenure. I look forward to seeing the strong relationship between our two countries continue to grow. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
