Continue to justify the evil your people are doing and be hoping that Nigeria will continue to tolerate you outside south east.

"On days when I find food, the babies can eat, but on days I don't get to eat, they will just suck," said Murja, a married Hausa woman in her mid-twenties with two small children to keep alive.
Murja lives in a rural area near Katsina City in northern Nigeria. She recently adopted another child, seven-month-old Ummi, her niece, after Ummi's mother died. Since then, both babies have been struggling. Murja said her older child was trying to learn how to walk but has given up because of hunger.
The family has no electricity and lives in the middle of bushland in a house made of sand blocks. It has no ventilation and is very hot. Murja survives on one small meal a day, which has reduced her breast milk supply.
"It pains me to see other children looking chubby and healthy, but Ummi just keeps getting smaller by the day," she said.

The scale of malnutrition across northern Nigeria is devastating and unprecedented, with 4.4 million children under five, and nearly 600,000 pregnant women acutely malnourished, according to the United Nations World Food Programme.
The situation is rapidly escalating: the number of acutely malnourished children has more than doubled since this time last year, according to WFP.
Médecins Sans Frontières’s Medical Director, Catherine Van Overloop, said that in some northern regions, malnutrition cases have almost doubled. "These children could face developmental and cognitive issues," she said, warning of the long-term impact. "They may not reach their full potential height; their brains may not fully develop; they may have issues concentrating in school. And these are the future of Nigeria, these children."

“Bandits invaded my home and seized our farm,” said Jamila, a farmer in her late twenties, while speaking at an MSF malnutrition clinic in Katsina.
Several days earlier, Jamila brought her baby son Aliyu to the malnutrition clinic in desperation. She said his body was swollen and the hospital could not help him. “We're no different from beggars now, the bandits have seized everything. My previous life was very good, we used to sell our harvests and also eat from the farm,” she said. On many days, the mother of three survives on cassava flakes.
Like Jamila, most people in Katsina are farmers who have been driven off their land and lost their livelihoods.
“I had so much before - maize, guinea-corn, cotton, and many cattle,” said Alhaji Abubakar, who lives in an informal IDP camp area with his 23 children and three wives after being forced off his land by bandits. The large family lives together in one house with only one toilet and little privacy. They can only afford to eat once a day. “For someone who used to give away food, now I am the one being assisted with food, that is enough reason for my heart to explode,” he said.
The unofficial camp where he lives also houses hundreds of other internally displaced people from Katsina State. Poor living conditions across other similar camps have led to outbreaks of malaria, cholera, and measles, according to aid group Smiling Heart Initiative International. “I really wish the government could help us fix the security issues so we can go back to our farm. That would make me very happy,” Mr. Abubakar said.

confusedlady:
It sounds as if you did not read what Kenneth Okonkwo wrote in his resignation letter or you are just like Peter Obi trying to put paper over cracks.

kilmot:
Omo, how did you discover that? I just checked all monikers you mentioned and they were all created same day.

EmeeNaka:
How come you discovered these accounts? And the idiot is actually typing one after the other. So most of this APC comments are actually made by a single person with multitude of accounts.

CilicMarin:
Fake news...Peter Obi who doesn't know how to speak good English, can't put those words together...The man who is as dull as a pig of lead...

A very useless incompetent bigot!

Philipponzaghi:
Peter Obi is just trying to play damage control.

The more he talks, the more he loses support. Everyone can see he's struggling to keep his house in order.

Dr Mo: "To the best of my knowledge, Alhaji Dangote did not support you or any of our known supporters during the 2023 general elections. Why would you get involved with his issue to the extent of writing and speaking extensively about it?"

Peter Obi: "It is not about who supports me or not, but about the future of our beloved nation and the suffering masses. If everybody supports me politically, then there is something wrong somewhere. There must be people who, whether you are doing the right thing or not, will still insult you and call you names every day, like one of the presidential candidates who called me a packaged fraud when I have never done anything wrong to him, mentioned his name, or done business with him. In life, we must allow people to be on their own. Whether people support you politically or not should not affect business. Some people hate us for no reason, and that is the truth about politics. We must go beyond parochial reasoning for the country's interest, stability, peace, security, and unity, transcending regional, religious, and tribal intolerance for proper productivity; otherwise, there will be no progress."

"What is important about Dangote's refinery is that it will significantly help the economy by managing our foreign exchange situation and reducing the amount we pay for refined product imports. This is one of the country's major problems today. My support is aimed at ensuring the country works so we can regain the viable position we used to have. If I think it is a monopoly, as many people say, and I am in government, I will give other people the opportunity to do similar things in other areas, like electricity, to improve the overall situation."

Dr Mo: I expressed my worries and concerns about the departure of Barrister Kenneth Okonkwo.

Peter Obi: "Mo, Kenneth, Balami, and others remain my beloved younger brothers, who, in due time, will realize the virtues of humility and patience in trying to do things in a peaceful manner."

"In Nigeria, he continued, we have become all too accustomed to rascality and forcefully doing things, making noise, and bulldozing our way through, even when we are wrong. This behavior is often mistakenly seen as a measure of power or greatness. However, that yardstick must not continue to define us, because that is not the society we want to build. The society we preach is one that values doing things the right way, with integrity, patience, and perseverance, even if it takes time. We must shift our mindset and recognize that true greatness lies not in loud boasts or aggressive actions, but in quiet confidence, humility, and a commitment to excellence. By doing so, we can create a more just, equitable, and prosperous nation for all."

"Mo, we all joined the Labour Party about 18 months ago. We spent the first year on campaigns, elections, and court proceedings. And now, I am expected to become a superman, scattering everything and achieving instant results." He continued, "I appreciate the patience and understanding of the Obidients and plead with them to let us be the example we want to see in our society. This is not the first time I have faced such challenging situations. In fact, this has been my trajectory in life - I am actually energized when people think I am weak and try to walk all over me for doing the right thing."

"Mo, all I can assure you is that doing the right thing is not a sign of weakness. Humility and patience are virtues, not weaknesses. It is a long journey, and I am committed to it. I encourage the #Obidients to do the same - let us walk this path together, with faith and perseverance. We will get there, and our efforts will be worth it in the end."

Wike showing true leadership! Love to see him engaging directly with the people.

Philipponzaghi:
Wike showing that he’s not afraid to connect with the people directly. This is true leadership in action. Abuja residents should appreciate this man!

Chinkoalhaji34:
Wike knows how to connect with the people directly, no filters!

That’s real leadership in action.

trutharena:
Comrade WIKE, the fearless leader and true representative of the people, knows how to connect with the masses! This is leadership in action, showing that he is not just a minister but a man of the people. Keep pushing boundaries, Commander General!

CilicMarin:
If satan joins Peter Obi today, you would still be the first person to write a useless epistle in support of him... That's what inbuilt hatred causes in someone..

PortHarcourtcit:
we must not be enemies because we belong to different parties and ideologies ...

Softmirror:
So, the ball is still in your court. To prove without doubt the involvement of Oando or Tinubu and his family as you claimed. Or that Ras Hanzir is infact owned by Tinubu's family.

There is no where Oando nor Tinubu is mentioned in the documents you have referenced. So how do you prove their business relationship without any doubt?

Otherwise you are the REAL PROPAGANDA.

trutharena:
Hahahaha na wetin dem go refund? Na only money wey dem no fit chop well well! Ubah don try, but APC no dey owe am anything, na politics be this!

trutharena:
N71 million is a serious commitment to the cause! Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah is showing real support for APC in Anambra. This kind of backing will surely energize the party and strengthen our efforts in the state. Let's keep the momentum going!

Chukabiz:
