Aliko Dangote to establish a $1 billion industrial facility. This complex will combine cement manufacturing, coal extraction, and electricity production.
Discussions between representatives of Dangote and Zimbabwean officials were reportedly initiated at the Afreximbank Annual Meetings held in Abuja in June.
According to The Zimbabwean, Paul Tungwarara, who serves as the investment adviser to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, has confirmed that arrangements are being made for a significant meeting between the president and the prominent Nigerian entrepreneur.
He said, “The richest man in Africa is coming to Zimbabwe at the invitation of President Mnangagwa.
“The two have been in constant communication and we are presently working on the logistical aspects of the visit.
“We are keen to ensure that he makes a significant investment in Zimbabwe and avoid what happened during his previous visit in 2015, when he came but did not return.”

Mr. Aliko Dangote, speaking immediately after signing the agreement, outlined major investments across cement, power generation, petroleum pipelines, oil refining, and fertilizer. He noted the projects would exceed one billion dollars, largely due to the pipeline, and praised President Mnangagwa’s reforms and transparency, saying they gave investors confidence and showed the President had “passed the exam” of turning the economy around.

Morris Monye, who was a member of Peter Obi's presidential campaign council and who was director of mobilisation in the Obidient Movement, said many of the things that I said (in the first post on this thread) in his resignation letter.
Morris Monye was a member of Peter Obi's Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2023 elections. Peter Obi made him the director of mobilisation of the Obidient Movement in 2024.

RESIGNATION AS DIRECTOR OF MOBILIZATION, OBIDIENT MOVEMENT & STRUCTURE.
Today I stepped down as Director of Mobilization of the Obidient Movement
ITS IMPORTANT YOU READ TO THE END SO NOTHING IS MISCONSTRUED
Almost a year down the line, most of our short term, medium term and long term plans have not been met. I won't be part of optics and no work.
The poor showing at the Anambra election has also made my position untenable,
I and my businesses have also been harassed non-stop by sympathizers and instruments of this government. It's a role that puts a target on your back. I have had to have kept quiet so as not to discourage anyone or be made not to look like a whiner. But it's taken its toll on me and my family. They can't understand any of this really.
I have spent approximately N40m of personal funds (My own money) on donating for Obidient events, mobilization travels across the country, funding committees, evangelizing about the movement with calls for mobilization on radio airways in the rural areas, support local structures on ground. It goes on and on and on. The expenses never ever stops (and they are mostly unplanned and sudden)
All were self raised. By myself. From me Through me. Let someone else carry that mantle. Dr. Tanko is privy to some of these. I have transaction reciepts of almost every activity done.
No money was given to the Directorate of Mobilization. There's no bank account even for the directorate. Infact Mr. Peter Obi has never asked what we are doing in mobilization. Nothing of such. No communication. Nothing. I spent those personal monies because I believe in the movement as a vehicle for a new Nigeria. I also don't expect any repayment back from anyone.
I have been blessed in life with a small fortune I'm content and a very simple young man. Those who know me personally know this.
As Director
1. Helped spearhead the registration of Obidients online in conjunction with the IT directorate. There were (and still) glitches with the IT team. I hope the IT directorate fine tunes it and sorts it out. The next leader of the directorate is to spearhead door to door mobilization to reach every nook and cranny of the country. We've laid the foundation with the online registration. It's just to execute on ground with volunteers and get a clean sweep. We have just 3 months left to do this. (I have submitted the blueprint for that to the Operations team).
2. I helped spearhead the activation of dormant support groups alongside Dr. Tanko. Most felt left out. We've given them an umbrella. We had a support group convention in Abuja during PO's book launch in June 2025 and absorbed them into the movement.
3. I helped structure the movement into 6 regional bodies, providing support from the centre.
4. I contacted and met all the leaders in each state. Visited everyone in their backyard to tell them that we see what they are doing
5. Obidient LG offices in every state. Some parts of SW Nigeria and Delta state already have these. The next director is to ensure every other state has this (He or she is to work with the state coordinators on this)
6. I created LG structures (it's still small) for all states in Nigeria. Abuja being most active Northeast being least active. The new leader must expand on this. This will be the nucleus of our polling unit agents independent of any party we choose.
7. I created a Research team for the Obidient Movement where we researched the ills of the APC govt, highlighted and disseminated to all Nigerians every bi-weekly via short videos. I discovered that gap and immediately filled it by getting volunteers onboard and worked on it. They churn out these materials regularly. Those cute short videos you see.
8. I created the Obidient Movement Facebook page and paid a staff to handle it. Facebook is a huge untapped platform. made Nana Kazure co-admin also to monitor things.
9. We kickstarted the Obidient NextGen. It is a University campus youth network ably assisted by my secretary, Directorate of mobilization, Mr. Monday Otene. We leveraged the goodwill PO has among young people to harness young voters
10. Supported the Delta state Obidient Congress
11. Singlehandly raised N2million (very poor amount) directly to the Anambra Gubernatorial Candidate's campaign bank account for polling unit adoption for the Anambra election to boost our chances in the poll. (I have all receipts)
12. PVC awareness drive. Paid and sponsored awareness drive nationwide notably Delta state, Jigawa, Nassarawa. I sent directly to the state coordinators on my own dime.
⚫️ Had engagements with tech experts in the UK to mass produce cheap (very cheap) body cams from China for polling unit agents. (I had also scheduled a trip to China which i have now canceled). The prerequisite for getting paid as an agent is to submit those body cams. After our volunteers have reviewed footage, you get paid your balance directly to your bank account all under a week after election. This would be evidence that you were indeed an agent. Many will volunteer for free but some parts of Nigeria most will demand payments. Great resources would be expended for this but it is very necessary for accountability and would put agents on their toes as thev won't sell out due to them knowing they are being watched. The cameras will also be retrieved and used for election cycle for whoever the Movement endorses (I imagine it will be
⚫️ The next mobilization director MUST follow up on this. We have not closed this out yet
Mr. Peter Obi has recieved a copy of this resignation via WhatsApp. He will accept the resignation.
The National Cooridnator and my state coordinator have also received a copy. All future correspondence on the Obidient Movement can be passed directly to the National Coordinator Dr. Yunusa Tanko,
It has been a privilege serving Obidients.
ON THE FUTURE FOR ME: I intend traveling the world and iust have a good time. I will focus more on my businesses. I just completed my School of Politics, Policy and Governance (SPPG leadership) course and will continue with a business course at Oxford/Cambridge (not made up my mind vet) next year. I might also seek elective office (if Electoral reforms sail through, will. If they don't, I won't bother wasting my time or money). I will also continue to advise the other leaders of the movement (They have become family. We talk everyday) where necessary but I no longer want to be at the forefront anvmore. I will also keep speaking about a new Nigeria and will always condemn bad governance and the APC. All well-meaning Nigerians must continue this activism
ON The FUTURE OF THE OBIDIENT MOVEMENT: I will advise that proper political/ operations consultants to coordinate the polling unit structure and a large media team are engaged and funded by Mr. Peter Obi himself to help run the campaign in turbo fashion. There is no time. I keep screaming it but it's like I've been screaming into a wall. They have to be on salary/ contract and given a budget complete with weekly KPIs and also do Monthly Performance Review (MPRs) to know where and where the movement is, then he can reward and sanction appropriately. You can't run a campaign simply from general goodwill. This is not 2023. The element of surprise is gone! Also no one can be held accountable from "general goodwill". They will work at their own leisure. Afterall it's goodwill. This has to be a serious business for him.
Polling unit agents mobilization is key. That must be happening quick. The lapse was showed again in Anambra election
Voters registration mobilization is very very important. This must be done LG by LG. New voters must be captured. Except for rag-tag efforts by private individuals (me included) this has been poor so far.
All (I repeat all) the current directorates are using their personal funds and it's simply not sustainable if we want to see results. Not a single kobo was/is assigned to any of them. Mr. Obi needs to show more interest in what the Movement is doing. Obidients outside don't see or understand that.
Some think we are somehow benefiting from being directors. I see the comments and they are very discouraging. Very thankless indeed. Infact one of the criteria for being director is that you have to be financially capable to carry that directorate on your own.
The Key task that must be done for mobilization directorate is having polling units agents in all polling units in Nigeria. I have been shouting this forever. The lapse was shown in Anambra election. For me, every other thing is really secondary. It is currently at 10% completion for now. Dr. Tanko can confirm this too. We have barely 11 months to complete this. The next director must have his eyes on that clock. Time is running out. Occasionally demand from the next director of mobilization on the situation report on this
Thanks and God bless you all.

femi4: How many times this is showing on the front page
This is the first time that this is appearing on the home page.
Mali and Burkina Faso pulled out of the competition, therefore WAFU changed the format. There were only 3 teams in the competition and each team played the other twice.
