Peter Obi Mourns the Passing of Justice Emmanuel Ogwuegbu
Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and a prominent political figure, has expressed deep sorrow following the passing of Justice Emmanuel Ogwuegbu, a respected former Supreme Court Justice.
In a message, Obi described Justice Ogwuegbu as a beacon of integrity whose legacy of truth, justice, and fairness has left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s judiciary.
Justice Ogwuegbu served in the Nigerian judiciary for several decades, with a distinguished 11-year tenure at the Supreme Court.
During his time on the bench, he earned a reputation for his unwavering commitment to justice and truth, holding fast to the principles of fairness, no matter the case or the parties involved.
His tenure was marked by a resolute dedication to ensuring that the rule of law prevailed in all matters, and his decisions were often seen as beacons of impartiality and reason.
Obi took a moment to reflect on the challenges facing Nigeria’s judiciary today, noting that it has come under pressure, much like the country’s political landscape.
In recent times, justice has sometimes been perceived as transactional, with fairness often compromised.
However, Justice Ogwuegbu stood as an example of what the judiciary should represent—an unwavering pillar of integrity that serves the common man, ensuring that the law applies equally to all.
As Obi mourned the loss, he praised the legacy left behind by Justice Ogwuegbu.
His career was a testament to the values of honesty, dedication, and fairness.
Obi encouraged current members of the judiciary to follow in Ogwuegbu’s footsteps, upholding the same high standards of justice and integrity.
He stressed that the judiciary’s role as a protector of fairness and truth is crucial, especially in today’s challenging times.
On behalf of his family and the Obidient family, Obi extended his heartfelt condolences to the Ogwuegbu family and the entire legal community.
He expressed sympathy for the loss, acknowledging the profound impact Justice Ogwuegbu had on the legal profession.
Obi prayed that God would grant strength to the Ogwuegbu family and the legal community in this difficult time, and that the late justice would be granted eternal peace.
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.
He stated, “Despite three years of Tinubu’s food emergency, Nigeria’s hunger ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.”
“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”
The U.S. government has released a warning to social media influencers who will be coming to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The government placed a rule on creating content to make money while using a tourist visa and stated that it could lead to deportation back to their country.
It can be noted that the World Cup will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
“People who enter the United States under a visitor program and receive income from a U.S. source would be violating the conditions of their admission status.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
