Nigerians !!!
Pay attention…
In 2027, the battle for the soul of our country will be pitched at the ballot, but it won’t be between political parties per se…
The 2027 elections will be The APC and all the institutions it has managed to capture on one side versus We, The People on the other side.
There will be no neutral zone.
Most have picked a side already…
I am on the side of the people!
I will be voting for Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso….
Where will you stand ?
ONLY THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF THE NBA CAN DIRECT THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE 2026 NBA NATIONAL OFFICERS’ ELECTION
Our attention has been drawn to a document which purports to be a Report of a Sub-Committee and the comments of the Honourable Attorney General which, amongst other things allegedly ordered:
(a) the disbandment of the Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association and postponement of the election of National Officers,
(b) the termination of the appointment of the current service provider because he is a sole proprietor and the appointment of a new service provider,
(c) the setting up of a caretaker committee to conduct the elections of national officers,
(d) the incorporation of NIN in the data of voters in the conduct of the NBA Election.
(e) the “recalibration” of the NBA Constitution to take away universal suffrage etc.
The Nigerian Bar Association believes that the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation could not issue the said directive as it is entirely unconstitutional, ultra vires the powers of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation, and an attempt to bring the Nigerian Bar Association under the control of the office of the Honourable Attorney General.
For the record, the Nigerian Bar Association is an independent body not under the control of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation. By the provisions of section 10(2) of the Legal Practitioners Act, the only time a body distinct from the Nigerian Bar Association is empowered to interfere in the activities of the Nigerian Bar Association is stated clearly therein and none of the events have occurred as to entitle the Honourable Attorney General to take the position stated in the purported directive.
We are strengthened in our belief that the Honourable Attorney General could not have given the purported directives when in fact the purported directives are no different from the reliefs sought in the two Egbe Amofin Cases pending at the High Court of Oyo State. Indeed, the Honourable Attorney General cannot grant reliefs sought in the two Egbe Amofin suits in his capacity as a convener of a mediation meeting or even as the Chief Law Officer of the Federation. The Honourable Attorney General is at best a party/mediator, and it is settled that a mediator does not give directives to the parties in a matter in which he is a party.
All Past Presidents of the Nigerian Bar Association in attendance, to the exclusion of Chief Wole Olanipekun, were of the view that the cases initiated by Egbe Amofin are frivolous and should be withdrawn. It was therefore the decision of the attendees of the meeting that the Sub-Committee set up is to ONLY liaise with the contending parties for the purpose of overseeing the withdrawal of the actions. The Sub-Committee was never empowered to make any inquest as to the conduct of the President of the Nigerian Bar Association to the extent of making far-reaching condemnations against him when he is not a candidate in the election. Their reliance on the memos submitted by some candidates as the basis for those findings violates the constitutional safeguard of fair hearing as the President was never served with those memos to enable him make a response before such condemnations were made, assuming he was a necessary person to appear before the Sub-Committee.
The resolution of the meeting of 11 June 2026 is that the Sub-Committee is to report to the entire body at a reconvened meeting. From the face of the purported report, it is clear that none of those who attended the 11 June 2026 meeting were availed a copy of the purported report or made any input to it. Assuming without conceding that they have received the report, the meeting cannot give the directions as it violates the Legal Practitioners Act and the Nigerian Bar Association Constitution.

is this a good time to say my claim to fame is that Peter Obi called me to congratulate me back then? He’s from my village lol.

The country cannot succeed with politicians who have this kind of appetite. And you will never curb this kind of appetite unless you forcefully send a message that will never be forgotten.
Everything else is just surface dressing.

The only wrong Obi did to this man was to support him when he contested for the Anambra governorship in 2021.
Mr. Valentine is 55 years old. Obi is older than him by 9 years. Valentine does not fall within the range of a youth. The Nigerian Youth Policy, that of the AU and the UN, all classify a youth as between 15 and 35, with the Nigerian youth policy and the AU specifically pegging the maximum at 35.
There is no part of the world where a 64 year old man like Obi is classified as too old to lead.
Out of envy, Mr. Valentine is throwing tantrums at a man who has never once mentioned his name since he left him and moved to the APC. Personally, I would prefer to partner with a politician like Wike, who is very frank and blunt, than someone like Mr. Valentine.
Currently, people like @Chigozieialex are giving Mr. Valentine hope that they can replicate a movement like the Obidient Movement with their Valiant Movement. The mistake they make is that they don't understand the grace that Mr. Peter Obi carries. To replicate the Obidient Movement is to replicate the grace that Obi has. Incidentally, it doesn't come by mere wishes.
I Don’t See Much Difference Between Tinubu, Obi, And Kwankwaso, They Are Nigeria’s Problem - Ozigbo
I am saying this because the younger generation needs to wake up and stop outsourcing their destiny to people who, in some cases, have contributed to the problems of Nigeria, while expecting them to fix it. We need to remind young people that they are the ones who will ultimately rebuild this country. I have lost confidence in the older generation to drive the kind of change Nigeria needs.

UNITY IS NOT OPTIONAL. IT IS THE STRATEGY.
Yesterday, I joined my party’s State Working Committee, alongside Senatorial, House of Representatives, and House of Assembly aspirants from across Rivers State, at our Party Secretariat here in Port Harcourt.
The Nigeria Democratic Congress brought us together for one purpose: to look each other in the eye after a primary season, speak honestly, and recommit to something larger than any one of us.
I said it plainly in that room, and I will say it here too.
No primary process is perfect. Ours was not. But what we cannot afford, what Rivers State cannot afford, is to hand our opponents the victory they could never win at the ballot box by simply watching us turn on each other.
The true beneficiaries of a divided party are always our political opponents. That is not a theory. It is history.
So I called on every aspirant, every supporter, every committed member of the NDC to put personal grievance aside and fix their eyes on 2027. The stakes are too high and the moment too important for anything less.
I also want to place on record my deep appreciation for our State Chairman, Hon. Success Jack, and the entire State Executive Committee. The work they have done to expand our structure across all twenty-three Local Government Areas, pushing administration down to the ward and unit levels, is exactly the kind of foundational work that wins elections. It does not make headlines, but it makes the difference.
To every party leader, mobilizer, and member who worked before, during, and after these primaries to keep the process peaceful and transparent: I see your sacrifice. And I am committed to rewarding it with the kind of leadership Rivers State deserves.
We left that room yesterday with a unanimous resolution to close ranks. That resolution now belongs to all of us.
2027 is not coming. It is here.
And we will meet it — together.

I'll counter this narrative anywhere. Do you people know half the things Obi has had to deal with for the last four years? You think it's everything that enters the public eye. And even in the public domain, a sitting governor threatened Obi and his convoy was attacked.
That Obi is still in the conversion with the evil that APC is capable of is all the evidence you need of a gritty and persistent leader that Nigeria needs. One who will stare down the evil cabals holding us back while sticking to his principles.
Obi has done his part by getting on the ballot. It is up to us the people who want a better Nigeria to put him in Aso rock.

Peter Obi is currently the only leading politician whose aides are not attacking anyone.
Check around.
Tinubu has Daniel Bwala and Bayo Onanuga calling opponents names.
Atiku has Demola, Royalty, Kenneth Okonkwo, and Abdul calling Peter Obi names.
Peter Obi and his aides are talking about Nigeria and how to fix Nigeria.

A team that beat Atletico, Porto, Real Madrid (biggest club in the world snd expert in UCL), and Pep's Man City along the way won UCL by luck?

Bola Tinubu and Remi Tinubu are a perfect illustration of what it means to marry one’s type.
A vicious couple bonded by destructive and greedy proclivities.
Zero empathy.
All they care about is political power and total state capture.
When will this nightmare end in our country?

The entire Aso Rock media team Daniel Bwala, Reno Mockery, FFK, Sunday Dare, Bayo Onanuga, all primary is to attack Peter Obi
The governors are already incentivised to work against Obi
Datti Baba-Ahmed and his brother are motivated to start attacking Obi
Kenneth Okonkwo and the entire Atiku Mikano Boys already mobilised to lunch attacks on Obi
Arabambi reactivated and mobilised against Obi and Apapa is waiting to receive his own Alert
The Data Boys are back into the payroll for just one mission, attack Obi
All these are because Obi is their nightmare. Atiku doesn't pose any threat to them, hence they're not bothered about him.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THE OBIDIENTS ARE LIKE THE CHINESE BATALION, AN IMMOVABLE FORCE.

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Ruud Gullit with a RANT regarding Arsenal's Champions League Final performance:
"Arsenal didn't deserve to win. Look, you can try to kill a game by defending, but at least keep a certain intention to still attack sometimes."
"But this team started time wasting IN THE FIRST HALF! Why not try to score a second goal instead?!"
"24% ball possession, Jesus Christ! I have only seen Saka play at right back!"
