Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra State and a notable voice in Nigerian politics, recently spoke out about a controversial court decision affecting the people of Rivers State.

Known for his focus on policies over personal attacks, Obi has built his political career on advocating for ordinary Nigerians, particularly the impoverished and marginalized.

With his attention drawn to a recent ruling that has halted federal allocations to Rivers State, Obi is now calling for a reversal of this decision, warning that it threatens the well-being of countless citizens already grappling with daily hardships.

In his statement, Obi expressed frustration at how this decision has put the lives of many in Rivers State at risk.

This judgment, he said, not only impacts government officials but also stretches to the pensioners, health workers, teachers, and civil servants who rely on state allocations for their livelihoods.

Obi described how many of these individuals are already surviving on meagre incomes and that this freeze could intensify their struggles, pushing them to the edge of poverty and possibly resulting in preventable deaths.

Drawing from his years of experience in governance, Obi emphasized that a leader’s duty—whether in the Executive, Legislature, or Judiciary—is to make decisions with the needs of the most vulnerable in mind.

He noted that the current scenario could worsen life for those already enduring severe economic challenges in Nigeria, especially as many parts of the country are already reeling from inflation and rising living costs.

Obi’s remarks call for the attention of every well-meaning Nigerian, urging them to support a reversal of the ruling.

He argued that leadership must be rooted in empathy and a genuine concern for the well-being of all citizens, particularly the poorest.

Nigerian singer Charly Boy has shared his thoughts on the recent political move by the political party African Democratic Congress (ADC).

It can be noted that the party is gearing up to challenge President Tinubu’s position in the 2027 elections.

The singer took to social media to express his thoughts on the move and questioned who the party is truly fighting for.

“Are they fighting for you, or fighting to sit where their enemies used to sit? Are they shouting ‘enough is enough’ because they’ve changed… or because they’re no longer the ones benefitting?”

“We don’t just need new names. We need new values, new visions, and people with the guts to live by them. 2027 is not about revenge. It’s about rescue.”

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.

The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.

Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.

Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has maintained that Nigeria’s next president should come from the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stressed that while power should shift to the South, competence and character must be the key factors in choosing leaders, not just regional sentiment.

He pointed out that the coming elections won’t just be about political parties but will be a fight between everyday Nigerians and the political class. In his words, “Nigeria belongs to everyone. We can’t keep running a system where one region holds all the power and others are sidelined. There are capable leaders in the South. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.”

Amaechi added that the elections should not be based on blind party loyalty, saying, “This is about Nigerians taking a stand against the political elite. If we truly want change, now is the time to act.” He believes the South is prepared to take the lead, promising a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice and renewed hope.
