Peter Obi Clears Up Misunderstandings and Stays Focused on Nigeria’s Future

Peter Obi, a prominent political figure, has recently addressed the wave of calls and concerns following his interview with News Central TV.
In his detailed statement, Obi sought to clarify his position amid accusations of distortion and misinformation by critics.
Obi explained that during the interview, he took the opportunity to lay out his views and clarify his stance on various issues.
He expressed frustration over what he perceives as deliberate attempts by some individuals to manipulate and misrepresent his words for their own agendas.
“I want to make it clear that I am not focused on the 2027 elections while Nigerians are grappling with severe issues such as hunger, poverty, and insecurity,” Obi stated.
He emphasized that his primary concern is addressing these pressing challenges rather than being preoccupied with future political ambitions.
When questioned about potential collaborations, Obi highlighted his willingness to work with others, provided their motives align with his vision for Nigeria’s advancement.
He specifically mentioned that he is open to partnerships as long as they are not driven by the goal of state capture.
Obi stressed that any collaboration should be centered on genuine efforts to progress Nigeria and not on personal or political gains.
Obi also reiterated his steadfast commitment to the Labour Party and made it clear that any discussions or negotiations regarding future political alliances must be transparent.
“If anyone wishes to join forces, they need to be upfront about their intentions,” he said.
Addressing rumors about his political aspirations, Obi clarified that he is not desperate for the presidency or any other political office.
His focus, he noted, remains on contributing to Nigeria’s development through his current efforts.
He stated that if he chooses to run for office in 2027, it will be with individuals who are committed to tangible solutions for Nigeria’s problems, rather than those solely aiming to win elections or capture state power.
Obi was particularly surprised by the misinterpretation of his statements and reaffirmed his dedication to building a new Nigeria.
He rejected claims that he had expressed an intention to become vice president, firmly stating that he has never made such a declaration.
Instead, he reiterated his openness to working with those who share his vision for a better Nigeria, whether or not he holds a formal position.
“My commitment to Nigeria is unwavering,” Obi concluded.
“I believe that I can make a significant impact even without holding an official office, and I will continue to work towards a Nigeria where every child has access to education, where people live in health and prosperity, and where poverty is effectively addressed.”

US Criticizes Nigerian Governors for Spending Lavishly Despite Hardship

The United States Embassy in Nigeria has raised concerns over the reckless spending habits of several Nigerian governors, accusing them of splurging public funds on luxury projects while citizens battle economic hardship.
On Tuesday, the embassy shared a report highlighting how some state leaders are spending billions on renovating or building lavish government residences and offices, despite the widespread suffering caused by current economic policies.
The report pointed out that while President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to make sacrifices and endure the economic challenges, many governors appear to be doing the opposite.
One example cited was Oyo State, where Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration approved a massive N63.4 billion to renovate the Government House, calling the current structure “an embarrassment.”
In Gombe State, among the poorest in the country, Governor Inuwa Yahaya is spending N14.9 billion on a brand-new official residence, with an additional N14.23 billion going toward a new House of Assembly complex.
Sharing the report via its official X (formerly Twitter) page, the US embassy included remarks from groups advocating for transparency and accountability, noting that this kind of excessive spending undermines public trust and deepens inequality.

APC Says Tinubu Has Nothing to Fear and Cannot Be Defeated in 2027 Election

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has declared that President Bola Tinubu is in a strong position ahead of the 2027 elections and has no reason to fear any opponent.
Speaking in Abuja during a visit by the APC League of Professionals to the party’s national headquarters, Yilwatda said the APC is fully prepared to secure victory for Tinubu and all its candidates at every level, from governorship to the state and national assemblies.
He credited the Tinubu administration’s achievements under the Renewed Hope Agenda as a key reason for the president’s growing support. Yilwatda highlighted initiatives such as the student loan programme, which he said has made higher education more accessible to children from poor families.
“For the first time in Nigeria’s history, the poorest child can now go to school without borrowing from anyone. That opportunity has been created by this government,” he said. He also pointed to a government-backed N1.5 billion investment into the Bank of Agriculture to support young Nigerians interested in farming, saying the administration is creating real opportunities for citizens.

Atiku Says Opposition Coalition Is to Protect Nigeria Not Fight Tinubu

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has explained the reason behind the formation of the new opposition coalition led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC). According to Atiku, the coalition was created to defend Nigeria’s democracy from what he sees as growing authoritarian tendencies and the manipulation of elections under the current ruling party.
He emphasized that the alliance is not about political heavyweights like himself, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, or Nasir El-Rufai battling for the 2027 presidency, but about safeguarding the country’s democratic future.
Atiku made it clear that the movement isn’t aimed at attacking President Tinubu, but rather focused on putting Nigeria first. “This isn’t about fighting Tinubu,” he said. “It’s about protecting democracy and making sure Nigerians come first.”
