Peter Obi Congratulates Senator John Azuta-Mbata and New Ohanaeze Ndigbo Leaders
Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate, has congratulated the newly elected leaders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
In a heartfelt message posted on his X handle, Obi extended his congratulations to Senator John Azuta-Mbata, who was elected as President General; Prince Okey Nwadinobi, the Deputy President General; Emeka Sibeudu, the Secretary General; and the other newly elected executive members.
Obi emphasized the significance of their emergence as leaders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, an organization that serves as the umbrella body uniting the Igbo people across Nigeria and beyond.
He noted that their election reflects the trust and confidence the Igbo community has in their leadership abilities, as well as their commitment to advancing the development of the Igbo region and the country as a whole.
He further expressed hope that the new leadership will use their positions to promote peace, unity, and progress not only within the Igbo community but across the nation.
Obi also prayed for the newly elected officials, wishing them wisdom and strength as they take on the responsibility of serving their people.
As he concluded his message, Obi reaffirmed his belief in a brighter future for Nigeria, stating, “A New Nigeria Remains Possible,” encouraging the leaders to stay focused on driving change and development in their new roles.
It was reported and revealed by the National Coordinator of the Obi Movement that an attack occurred at the movement against Peter Obi in Edo State.
He stated that the armed people had guns and shot at Peter Obi and his members of the movement.
“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in what appears to be a survived assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
