Independence Is Meaningless Without Real Freedom
As we continue to reflect on Nigeria’s Independence, we must remember that independence means very little if citizens cannot freely express themselves, within the bounds of the law, without fear.
Reports that some Nigerians in Akwa Ibom were arrested simply for identifying with the Obidient Movement should worry every Nigerian who believes in democracy and freedom, especially when such identification is a constitutional right.
One of the greatest tragedies of our society is that people who once described themselves as freedom fighters can become defenders of oppression when they eventually occupy positions of authority. Those who once complained about injustice can become comfortable with injustice when it is being perpetrated against people they disagree with. That must not be the Nigeria we accept.
Our independence must ultimately mean freedom from fear, injustice, intolerance and abuse of power.
Nigeria must belong to all of us. -PO

Protecting Every Vote. Winning 2027. Together.
My fellow Nigerians at home and abroad,
Over the past months, wherever I go and in your many messages, two questions keep coming up: How will our votes be protected in 2027? And how will we win?
These are fair questions, and you deserve direct answers.
This Sunday, I will answer you directly, and more importantly, listen to you. I will join you for A New Nigeria Global Digital Townhall. We will speak plainly about protecting every vote and the path to victory.
But this is not only about speaking to you. It is about listening to you. I want to hear your concerns, your insights and your strategies. This movement has always been built by you, and your ideas will shape what we do next.

Peter Obi came to the Arise TV studio well-prepared. He brought his handover notes & left them with the anchor, Mr. Charles Aniagolu.
He granted Arise the full permission to publish all the documents for the entire world to see.
He backed everything up with verifiable proof, he listed the specific bank names & account numbers where the funds were domiciled.
Then he went ahead & urged Charles Aniagolu & Arise studio to contact both the World Bank office in Abuja & the respective Nigerian banks to verify the contents of the documents.
This level of accountability is unprecedented in a place like Nigeria, where public trust is absent
In contrast, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has yet to account for the loan obligations & allocations he received during his tenure as the governor of Lagos State. He has never granted an interview to give account of his stewardship in Alausa.
He is yet to account for fuel subsidy savings & all the money he has borrowed since 2023.
He remains silent regarding Alpha Beta, the company used by the Lagos State Government for tax collection. Nigerians, the choice is clear.
Vote for trust & accountability, vote for Mr. Peter Obi & take your country back. 👏👏

As at when Peter Obi bought his First House in the UK in 1987 my Parents were still Boyfriend and Girlfriend.
Jim Ovia hadn't started Zenith Bank yet.
Elumelu had just finished NYSC and was a new staff at Union Bank.
Otedola had just become a Managing Director for the first time at Impact Press.
Dangote was still basically a young trader and hadn't moved into manufacturing yet.
Tinubu was still a mere staff at Mobil.
Pastor Chris was still a Student Pastor.
I could go on and on..
Is this the man you are comparing with the Forger in Aso Rock?
If not for Politics who's Wike, Umahi and even Tinubu to Speak when Obi is talking?
OBI IS COMING

"It's a very challenging period economically. Truly, FAAC allocations have increased. When I came in, in 2019, the first salary I signed was N4.5B; today it's N18B. The N18k minimum wage in 2019 could buy more than N80k can today in 2026. That's the voodoo economics of President Tinubu." — Governor Seyi Makinde Says, as Oyo Govt extends wage award for three months, to continue transport subsidy on Omituntun buses

I am now convinced that most Nigerian politicians are abusing narcotics.
“Why did @Uber leave Nigeria; do you know why? I’m going to give you an example of Lagos…
The infrastructural development has been so wide and extensive that it is now possible for you to get from point A to point B at a fraction of the cost using the Blue Line, the Red Line and soon the Green Line. In Abuja you can get from anywhere to the airport by rail. And so Uber could not compete because of the advancement of infrastructure in Nigeria.”

Supporting Buhari in 2015 was a lapse in judgment.
Doubling down in 2019 was a flaw in character.
Voting for Tinubu in 2023 was pure wickedness.
Pushing Tinubu for 2027? You’re an active threat to humanity, a complete waste of space, and a lost cause.

Yes, hold your governor to account but don’t forget that the Federal Government still consumes 52% of our resources. 36 state governors only share 28% and 774 LGAs only share 20%. Even if states were to control all LGA funds, that would still be 48% divided among 36 governors while the Federal Government alone consumes 52%.
That’s why the Federal Government can afford to triple the number of agencies it has since the Oronsaye Report from 541 in 2012 to more than 1600 in 2016. That is why the Federal Government can even afford to have fake agencies.

We allocated N19 billion to NTA in the 2026 budget. Arise TV and others are surviving without government money. Yet, when we talk about reducing the cost of governance, some will parrot the lazy mantra of “Tell us SPECIFICALLY what else the government could do.” Dey wait na.😂

Today, I must bring to the attention of all Nigerians an alarming act of political intimidation. As the NDC candidate for Surulere 1, alongside Mr. Peter Obi and other NDC supporters, I was dismayed to see over 50 of my big campaign banners removed by the APC-led Lagos State Signage LASAA. This was carried in their truck with security escorts.These banners, placed in public spaces, were taken down while APC banners remained intact.
Their spokesperson of the LASAA told me that the poles were lagos government property and it has been assigned to “ Outdoor Practitioners”
They claim to take it Alausa, only for me to discover this evening that my banners are hidden somewhere in the surulere Local Government Area in onilegogoro
I ask: what right does the signage agency have to silence us during this crucial election season? INEC has lifted all bans to ensure free campaigning, and we will not accept this bullying. Meanwhile, Barakat,s banner is still intact , Fuad,s posters are all over the place
I call on all Nigerians to see what the APC government is doing to us and to question why they fear a fair contest.
I also call on the national leadership of the NDC to investigate this intimidation and demand that APC stop this bullying of opposition parties.
These are my banners they carried
Meanwhile these “Signage abusers of office left all the APC banners alone
Signed,
Dr. Adefolaseye Adebomi Adebayo
NDC, House of Reps, Surulere 1.
