Peter Obi Slams Edo Election and Calls for Urgent Electoral Reform
In a recent statement, Peter Obi expressed strong concerns regarding the recent elections in Edo State, asserting that the events witnessed over the weekend do not reflect the democratic values the nation strives for.
He described the election as a clear example of “state capture” that severely undermines Nigeria’s democratic processes.
Obi warned that a flawed leadership recruitment process poses a significant threat to the nation’s future, urging those in authority to address this alarming situation instead of relying on it to maintain power.
He emphasized the importance of the Independent Review of Votes (IReV) and the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), stating that these tools must be utilized effectively to cleanse the electoral process of the falsification that has plagued it for too long.
He cautioned agencies and individuals undermining democracy from positions of authority, reminding them that their time in power is not eternal.
Obi pointed out that the society currently being harmed will eventually seek accountability for the damage inflicted.
Addressing those complicit in perpetuating what he termed a charade, he urged them to reflect on their roles in weakening the foundations of democracy, stressing that the repercussions of their actions will ultimately affect future generations.
Obi reiterated that true politics should focus not just on capturing power but on saving the nation and ensuring it works for all citizens, regardless of their backgrounds.
He concluded with a commitment to building a genuinely democratic Nigeria, asserting that such a transformation is indeed possible.

Obasanjo Looks Forward to Celebrating Oyedepo’s 90th Birthday
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed his intention to be present at the 90th birthday celebration of Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church.
During the recent 70th birthday celebration of Oyedepo, held at the Faith Tabernacle in Ota, Ogun State, Obasanjo noted that he would be 107 years old when Oyedepo reached this milestone.
In his address to the congregation, Obasanjo playfully acknowledged the stages of life, saying, “Today marks your entry into the club of Septuagenarians.
Soon, you will transition to being an Octogenarian, and I will still be here to celebrate with you.
Following that, you will become a Nonagenarian, and I assure you, I will also be here for that occasion.”
He humorously added, “After that, I will leave you to continue your journey, but rest assured that God will always be with you.”
Obasanjo also took a moment to reflect on his longstanding connection to Ota and the significant role that Oyedepo has played in the community.
He reminisced about his farming ventures in Ota, which began in 1979, emphasizing the deep-rooted ties he has to the area and its development over the years.
Through his remarks, Obasanjo highlighted not only the personal relationship he shares with Oyedepo but also the broader impact the bishop has had on the lives of many in the region.
