“No Other Candidate Brings What I Bring to the Table” – Peter Obi Says
Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate, has declared that democracy no longer exists in Nigeria. Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, Obi pointed to the recent Edo State governorship election and the unfolding political crisis in Rivers State as clear signs that democratic principles have collapsed.
Obi condemned President Tinubu’s decision to declare a state of emergency in Rivers over tensions between Governor Sim Fubara and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. The President’s move included suspending the governor, his deputy, and the entire State Assembly for six months, replacing them with a Sole Administrator.
Obi criticized the decision, arguing that no one should govern without a mandate from the people. “There is no democracy in Nigeria today,” he said. When asked why he plans to contest the 2027 presidential election, Obi said the fight for real democracy must continue. “Look at the Edo election — does that look like democracy? Rivers State buried the whole idea,” he said.
“You can’t fix problems by breaking the rules,” Obi added. “I’m still committed to building a better Nigeria. I have the background, the experience, and I’ve served in both the corporate world and as a governor. No other candidate brings what I bring to the table.”
Kwara State is planning to increase livestock production in the state and create higher incomes for farmers and pastoralists.
The commissioner shared “Our ultimate objective is to move Kwara from livestock keeping to a commercially driven livestock economy capable of creating jobs, improving food security, strengthening rural livelihoods and increasing the income of farmers and pastoralists,” .
It has been reported that the Nigerian military has taken on several suspected terrorists during air raids and strikes in Zamfara State.
The aftermath of the strikes was shared by the leader of the operation.
“Among those reportedly killed was a terrorist identified as Isiya Gurgu, said to be a close associate of a notorious bandit leader known as Musa Commander, who is reportedly linked to the Ado Aleru network,” Makama said.
“The sources further claimed that Musa Commander is associated with several terrorist-controlled communities, including Tsamiya and other settlements in the area.”
It has been reported that the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) is planning to investigate and find out why Uber left Nigeria.
While FAAN has shared that it had no involvement in Uber’s exit, the FCCPC stated that it will find out what led to the decision, following concerns and complaints from users about the company’s exit.
FAAN also shared that it understands consumers’ concerns, as people are worried about the holiday period, when people coming into the country may need rides and Uber is no longer available, as it was a reliable source of transportation.
