Today, I met with former Governor and Minister, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola and Hon. Olajumoke Okoya-Thomas, former Lagos State APC Women Leader.

These engagements continue to shape the work ahead as we stay focused on delivering for the people.

the title of the post is "Northerners drank gutter water before Peter Obi dug well for them".
Then it used the pictures of Peter Obi instead of making it only about the person that said it.

“If not for Peter Obi, who went to dig boreholes in the north, northerners were drinking water from the gutters,” said Peter Obi’s social media influencer.

'All of us in LP including Alex Otti have agreed to support Tinubu’ — Arabambi

April 16, 2026

The National Vice Chairman of the Labour Party for the South-West, Abayomi Arabambi, has declared that the party’s leadership, including Abia State Governor Alex Otti, has reached a consensus to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

Arabambi made the declaration during an interview on News Central on Thursday.

“Abure and Governor Alex Otti have all agreed in principle that we will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu because this presidency belongs to the South-West, not to the South,” he said, adding that the arrangement was designed to allow the South-West to complete its eight-year cycle at the presidency.

On the question of Obi’s possible return to the Labour Party — a prospect allegedly being pushed by former Finance Minister, Nenadi Usman — Arabambi dismissed the idea, saying the party’s 2023 presidential candidate can not return.

“Obi can never come back to the Labour Party, because we have an agreement, even with Governor Alex Otti, because of the intractable crisis, because of what has happened in the Labour Party, we have all settled that we will support the second term and ambition of Mr President Bola Ahmed Tinubu only,” he said.

Arabambi accused Usman of acting as an agent of Obi, arguing that her push to bring the former Anambra governor back into the Labour Party was driven by her awareness that Obi won’t secure the presidential ticket of the coalition-backed African Democratic Congress (ADC).

“Nenadi is just an appendage of Peter Obi. She’s only deceiving herself. She wants Obi as our Labour Party presidential candidate, and that is not going to work,” he said, urging her to abandon the idea regardless of who was sponsoring it.

“She should perish that thought, no matter whosoever that is sponsoring her,” he added.
