Rig and die does not mean vote me or die.
If you decide to engage in thuggery and try to disrupt the electoral process, whatever happens to you is entirely your choice.
I’m not sure why some people are trying so hard to complicate a very simple matter.
INEC has not sanctioned any political party, institution or person for engaging in pre-election violence, but wants us to believe that it will sanction those who engage in violence during elections.
How many people or political parties have been sanctioned for engaging in political violence during the 2023 general elections?
Rallies are being disrupted, Sowore was violently attacked. I haven’t seen any action taken by INEC.
Those planning to rig should be mindful of what may befall them.
Nigerians have the right to defend their votes and electoral rights.

We may be witnessing the gradual death of democracy and the rise of authoritarian rule under Tinubu. APC, Nigeria is not your personal property.
A NEW DIMENSION OF TOXIC POLITICS IN NIGERIA
The new dimension of toxic politics that Nigeria has developed since 2025,
I arrived at the airport at 7 a.m. this morning to board my flight to Enugu. There, I saw the Nigeria Under-17 girls' team, which had just arrived and was preparing to board its vehicle into town.
With genuine joy and enthusiasm, I asked my Protocol Officer, Jackie Wayas, to find out whether I could greet and welcome the team. I was informed that officials of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) had refused and had requested that I not approach them because, if I did, they would all lose their jobs.
Regrettably, this is not the first time I have been subjected to such treatment. On March 25, 2025, I was in Uyo for the World Cup qualifier. The governor warmly received me and welcomed me at the VIP stand. Following the match, other government officials went to greet the players, but I was again prevented from doing so. I was told by the officials that they would lose their jobs if I proceeded.
It is deeply troubling to witness the extent of toxic politics into which our nation has descended since 2025. Each year appears to bring further deterioration. This reflects how deeply Nigeria has been affected.
The new Nigeria we aspire to build must have no room for hostility, intimidation, or discrimination, regardless of political affiliation. It must be a Nigeria in which unity, mutual respect, and our shared humanity take precedence over political differences.

PRESS STATEMENT
APC'S ENDLESS LIES AND DECEIT
HOW MANY TIMES WILL APC APPROVE IBOM DEEP SEA PORT?
President Tinubu, while campaigning in Uyo, has promised and granted approval for the construction of the Ibom Deep Sea Port.
What a hocus-pocus, what hogwash, and what barefaced lies and shenanigans of a rudderless party! How many times will the APC approve the Ibom Deep Sea Port?
President Buhari approved it in December 2020. The Federal Executive Council gave approval for the implementation of the first phase of the $4.6 billion Ibom Deep Sea Port (IDSP) during its meeting on December 16, 2020.
That approval named Bollore/Power China as the preferred bidder and was meant to allow construction to commence.
In a brazen display of ignorance of statecraft and the elevation of grand deceit as a campaign strategy, President Tinubu, as APC presidential candidate, first promised the port during his 2023 campaign.
At the APC campaign rally at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on 30 January 2023, he told supporters: "We will do mechanised farming. We will export food from Akwa Ibom. We will build your seaport."
Unfortunately, as is characteristic of the APC, they never fulfilled the promise. Over three years down the line, President Tinubu on Friday, 6 November 2026, had to promise again to construct the long-awaited Ibom Deep Sea Port project in Akwa Ibom State.
Obviously, this is another round of cheap promises that will not be kept or honoured. Just as before, so it will be now — empty promises. All talk and no action.
As Nigerians are still waiting for the APC and President Tinubu to give us uninterrupted electricity supply, so Akwa Ibomites are waiting endlessly for the promised deep sea port that has become a campaign tool of deceit.
Nigerians must shine their eyes and dump the APC into the abyss of socio-political irrelevance and make a new Nigeria possible.
Indeed, a New Nigeria is POssible with NDC.

*OPEN REPLY TO THE DELTA STATE POLICE COMMAND AND THE DELTA STATE GOVERNMENT ON THE ASABA KILLING*
We have read with pain and anger, the statements by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, and the Commissioner for Works and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, on the killing of one person and injuring of five others along Nnebisi Road, Asaba on Saturday during a peaceful procession by the Obidient/OK Movement in support of Mr. Peter Obi.
We condemn the killing. But we reject the attempt to blame the victims for their own murder.
Let us be clear: *This was not a coincidence. This was not a mere "clash." This was a conceived action plan.*
*1. A Conceived Plan To Attack, Harm And Silence The Opposition*
What happened in Asaba is part of a deliberate, well-planned strategy to continuously attack opposition parties, expose them to harm, and then use that same violence as an excuse to declare " *no street rally."*
The pattern is now too clear to ignore:
First, deny the opposition access to public facilities — stadiums, fields, halls,schools town halls,etc.
Second, when they are forced to use the road, which is their constitutional right, allow thugs to attack them.
Third, after the attack, the Police and Government will come out to say "we warned them" and "they should have used a designated venue."
Fourth, use the bloodshed as justification to ban opposition rallies altogether.
*That is the plan. Attack them, blame them, then ban them.*
The ultimate goal is not peace. The ultimate goal is to use state power to bar the NDC and other opposition parties from campaigning in Delta State, while the APC campaigns freely everywhere.
We see it. Deltans see it. Nigerians see it.
*2. If you had intelligence, what did you do with it?*
The Police said they received intelligence suggesting a likelihood of violence before the procession. They said they invited the organisers and advised them to cancel.
That is not policing. That is abdication.
If you had credible intelligence that an attack was being planned, your duty under the Police Act and the Constitution was to:
- Identify the planners,
- Arrest and interrogate them,
- Deploy men to protect the procession,
- Secure the route,
- And prevent the attack.
Why was no one arrested BEFORE the attack? Why was no suspect picked up? Why did you wait until after one Nigerian was killed and five injured, to now say investigations are ongoing?
Intelligence without action is useless. If you knew, why did you allow the killers to strike?
Or was the intelligence itself part of the plan to warn the victims, not the attackers?
*3. Why is the security report always negative only when it is the opposition?*
Whenever the NDC, Obidient Movement, or any opposition party wants to hold a rally, suddenly there is a "security threat." Suddenly the Police advise them to cancel or go to a "designated venue."
But when the APC holds its rallies, road shows, and open street processions in Asaba, Warri, Ughelli and other towns, there is never a security threat. There is never a warning. There is never a police advice to cancel.
Is violence only possible when the opposition gathers? Is APC immune to security threats in Delta State?
If the Police are truly neutral, let them publish the security reports for APC rallies in the last six months. Let Deltans see if the same warnings were given.Until then, this looks like selective policing to suppress the opposition.

PRESS RELEASE
CLASH AT A POLITICAL RALLY ORGANIZED BY OBEDIENT/OK MOVEMENT IN SUPPORT OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF NDC IN ASABA: POLICE COMMENCE INVESTIGATION, ADVISE POLITICAL PARTIES/SUPPORTERS AGAINST ROAD PROCESSIONS
The Delta State Police Command has commenced a full-scale investigation into a violent incident involving supporters during a political rally organised by the Obedient/OK movement in support of the presidential candidate of Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Asaba on Saturday, 7th November 2026, which resulted in the death of one person and injuries to five others.
2. Prior to the rally, the Command received an intelligence report indicating the likelihood of violence and consequently invited the organisers to a security meeting. During the engagement, they were briefed on the identified security threats and advised against holding an open road procession. They were further encouraged to conduct their political activities at a designated venue where appropriate security will be provided for them. However, the organisers ignored this important security advice and proceeded with the road procession.
3. At about 1215hrs, a violent incident occurred along Nnebisi Road, Asaba, during which one person lost his life and five others sustained injuries. The identities of the victims are yet to be ascertained. Upon receiving a distress call, police operatives mobilised to the scene and took the injured victims to the hospital for medical attention. Security was subsequently reinforced in the affected area to forestall further breakdown of law and order, while investigations are ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and identify those responsible.
4. The Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, CP Samuel E. Erale, psc, mnips, condemns the violence and reiterates that political parties are free to conduct lawful campaigns and other political activities. He, however, advises all political parties and their supporters to avoid road processions in the interest of public safety and to liaise with the Police ahead of any political gatherings to facilitate adequate security arrangements. The CP assures residents of Delta State of the Command's commitment to a thorough and impartial investigation and urge anyone with useful information to contact the Command through the following phone numbers; 09155570008 or 09155570007.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's recent attempt to ridicule Mr Peter Obi over the erosion menace in Anambra State raises a fundamental question about leadership. Do we judge leaders by political theatrics, campaign rhetoric and self-advertisement, or by the evidence of what they actually did with the public trust entrusted to them?
Mr President, respectfully, history has a way of correcting political narratives. You said Mr Peter Obi ran away from erosion in Anambra while you confronted the Atlantic Ocean. But what you apparently forgot to tell Nigerians is that the World Bank, through its then Country Director, Marie-Françoise Marie-Nelly, publicly commended Peter Obi for his commitment to tackling erosion.
At the launch of the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) in September 2014, she specifically acknowledged that Peter Obi was the first governor to pay Anambra State's ₦500 million counterpart contribution towards the project.
This was not Mr Peter Obi praising himself. It was not a campaign spokesperson singing his praises. It was an independent international development institution acknowledging a governor's commitment to solving a problem that threatened the lives, homes, livelihoods and future of his people.
Even more significantly, former Minister of Environment, John Odey, acknowledged that Peter Obi was instrumental in pushing for the creation of NEWMAP, even when some of his colleagues were initially lukewarm.
That is leadership. That is foresight. That is competence. Mr @PeterObi understood that governance is not about standing before a camera and declaring that you have conquered a natural disaster. It is about identifying a problem, mobilising resources, building partnerships, committing public funds and establishing sustainable interventions.
Mr Peter Obi's record in Anambra offers a basis for examining fiscal discipline, investments in education and healthcare, institutional development and responsible management of public resources. His administration's savings, investments and decision not to establish a lifetime pension arrangement for himself are matters Nigerians can scrutinise and compare.
Nigeria needs governance that translates public resources into better education, healthcare, security, electricity, jobs and improved living conditions, not merely political declarations.
If we must compare leadership, let us compare verifiable records, financial management, public investments and outcomes. Let Nigerians judge.
Character is reflected in how public resources are managed; competence in what is delivered; and leadership in how citizens' lives are improved.
Beyond erosion, Nigeria must confront the erosion of public trust, purchasing power, institutional integrity and hope.
Mr @PeterObi is a global example and standard.
Vote NDC... Obi-Kwankwaso for a better, stronger and greater Nigeria.

Nigeria will be OK.
I am profoundly saddened and deeply disturbed by reports of violence directed at members and coordinators of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Obidient Movement in Delta State.
I unequivocally condemn the attacks against our coordinators, supporters, and fellow citizens who were merely exercising their democratic rights. Political violence has no place in a democracy and can never be justified. No political aspiration is worth the life of a Nigerian, and no dispute should be resolved through intimidation, physical attacks, or the destruction of property.
It is particularly troubling that, at a time when Nigeria urgently needs responsible leadership, some individuals continue to believe that political influence can be secured through thuggery, fear, and violence. Political authority should be attained through persuasion and the trust of the people, not by intimidating opponents.
I urge the Government and the security agencies to conduct an immediate and thorough investigation into these attacks, identify those responsible, and ensure that they face justice, irrespective of their political affiliations. The safety and security of our members must be assured.
We will not be intimidated or silenced, nor will we relinquish our democratic space to violence. Our response will remain peaceful, lawful, and determined.
Nigeria belongs to every one of us. No political party or individual has exclusive ownership of the democratic space. Every Nigerian is entitled to organise, gather, express their views, and freely elect their leaders. Our nation needs constructive ideas rather than intimidation, responsible leadership rather than thuggery, and democratic contest rather than political violence.
I stand in solidarity with everyone affected in Delta State. A New Nigeria must be founded on justice, liberty, peace, and respect for the dignity of every citizen.
May God bless Delta State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria. -PO
