Peter Obi @PeterObi

Yesterday, at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, I was honoured with an invitation to address African youths in the African Together Conference tagged "The Making of Africa’s Future Presidents."

I was delighted to interact with these youths drawn from different African countries and ionate about making a positive difference in society. I was inspired by the energy and determination of these young leaders, and I remain committed to empowering them to shape Africa's future.
Our discussion centred on the pathway to dismantling corruption and building a better future for our continent

I reiterated how investing in the critical areas of human and national development, education, health, and pulling people out of poverty can drive immeasurable growth and development in any nation and continent. Drawing examples from our comparable nations: China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the continent of Asia, I showed how committed leadership can turn around any nation and continent by prioritising investments in these areas.

I shared insights from my political journey, highlighting the challenges and opportunities that come with serving the public. I maintained that Nigeria, and indeed Africa, can work for all, if we dismantle corruption and rascality in governance, and prioritise investment in the critical areas of development.

With competent, committed and comionate leadership, Nigeria can become a beacon of hope, and Africa will rise to become a global economic powerhouse

I thank the African Society, University of Cambridge, for hosting this important event, and I also appreciate the young leaders who participated with such enthusiasm and dedication.

As we strive to build the New Nigeria, we all must get involved in this important process of nation-building by ensuring that only competent, capable, committed leaders with character and integrity are elected into public offices.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Dr Mo (Moses Paul) @Drmopaul

The recent presence of Botswana’s Vice President Ndaba Gaolathe and Nigeria’s Mr. @PeterObi at Cambridge University is a powerful testament to the rising influence of African leadership on the global intellectual stage. Their engagement not only bridges continents but also inspires a new generation of Africans to lead with vision, integrity, and a commitment to transformative governance.

A new Africa is possible!

Shameless man.

Who would believe this same man pontificating in Cambridge, failed to build a single school in his entire 8 year tenure as Anambra state governor?

Or let his state doctors go on strike over poor working conditions, refusing to pay them for 13 months?

It’s just sad to see how he deceives people.

Every small thing he will start calling Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Kuku go there and live. Ode.

It's possible. Even though I wish he doesn't contest again. Nigeria as a contraption doesn't need liberation yet. When agbado finishes I wish he es the stick of death to Shetima and maybe next to oluomo. By then I know and convinced our true nation would have come to be. Then we will leave this shithole for then jejely!

And that so-called formality is nothing but ‘grab it, snatch it, and run with it.’

We all know Tinubu could never win a free, fair, and credible election.

That's my main man cheesy, the man of the people. I wish Atiku could allow you fly the flag under the mega party and you cos he's the reason people are running away as seen recently, after the greedy man had shown his intention to run again. The masses will vote you again, even much more than they did in 2023 and you'll win big, while the politicians and their ers will lose more this time. The Mr architect of modern lagos is a scam of the century but we warned them.

I call you the masses president sir. Those calling you names would apologise for wasting their votes and time. Not even Reno, the sudden sycophant of tinubu could doubt your competence, neither could bwala, the Mr anywhere belle goes. They once concurred you had the charisma and capacity to lead our dear nation. May the EFCC not forgive Reno's sins cos the loot was huge, that's why he ran for cover under the super corrupt apc's umbrella. E no get name wey reno never call tinubu before cheesy

God bless Nigeria

Yet, you would think it's his opposition that did not build.

I hope your governors are learning. Anybody can loot under the name of building one kangaroo project or the other, but it takes inspiration to improve education.
