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.
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
