If Your People Are Dying, President Should Be Ready To Die — Peter Obi



Presidential hopeful Peter Obi says being Nigerian president is a responsibility that should engender compassion and not nonchalance.

Obi, who was a guest on Sunday Politics programme, believes that a president should be ready to pay the supreme price if his or her people are dying.

“If I become president, I will use resources effectively. I cannot say: ‘buy a new jet’,” Obi said whilst accusing the Bola Tinubu administration of being unfeeling to the plight of the people.

“I don’t need one because I can go anywhere without a jet. I will not use ₦150bn to buy a jet when 80% of primary healthcare centres are not functioning.

“I was a governor, and for my first four years, I drove 406. For the rest of it, I didn’t drive bulletproof cars. Nobody will try to kill you if you do the right thing. It is when you do the wrong thing that you fear death.

“If your people are dying, you should be ready to die. The president should also be ready to die,” he said.

The former Anambra State governor accused President Bola Tinubu of being unfeeling to the plight of Nigerians. He said Tinubu chose to go on Christmas holiday in Lagos in December 2024 instead of visiting Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, where several children died in a stampede at a Christmas party.

”There is no compassion; people lost their children who will lead this country in the future, and he went on a Christmas holiday.”

Obi also criticised Tinubu over the attack in Benue State, saying he went to Benue but failed to reach Yelwata, where suspected herdsmen killed scores and displaced thousands of people. Tinubu had explained that bad roads and floods prevented him from visiting the distressed community.

Court Jails Nine Chinese for Cyber-terrorism, Internet Fraud

Justice D. E.Osiagor of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Thursday, July 7, 2025, convicted and sentenced nine Chinese to one year imprisonment each for cyber-terrorism and internet fraud.

The convicts are Qin Xiao Yong, Luo Mao Yang, Liu Ni Ni, Liu Gang, Sun Qi (a.k.a Wan Jin Ping), Zhang Juan, Li de Wen, Fun Min, Tan Ming.

They are among the syndicate of 792 alleged cryptocurrency investment and romance fraud suspects arrested on December 19, 2024, in Lagos during a sting operation tagged 'Eagle Flush Operation' conducted by EFCC operatives.

The charge reads: “ That you, Qin Xiao Yong, Luo Mao Yang, Liu Ni Ni, Liu Gang, Sun Qi (a.k.a Wan Jin Ping), Zhang Juan, Li de Wen, Fun Min, Tan Ming, sometime in December, 2024 at Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, conspired amongst yourselves to commit an offence to wit: cause to be accessed computer system used for the purpose of destabilising and destroying the economy and social structure of Nigeria and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 27 (1) (b) and punishable under Section 18(1) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc) Act 2015.”

They initially pleaded “not guilty” to the charge preferred against them.

However, at Monday’s sitting, they changed their “not guilty plea” to “guilty.”

In view of their pleas, prosecution counsel, R.A. Abdulrasheed, prayed the court to convict them accordingly.

Consequently, Justice Osiagor convicted and sentenced each of the defendants to one year imprisonment starting from the date of arrest on December 10, 2025, with a fine in the sum of N1,000,000 (One Million Naira (N1,000,000.00).

The judge further ordered that the mobile phones, computers, laptop computers and routers seized from them at the time of arrest be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

PETER OBI SPEAKS

I will ensure those who are stealing our oil stops. Today, every president wants to be the Petroleum Minister. I will not. As a matter of fact, I want to be the Minister of Security. I want to secure the nation.

I am involved in the coalition and I attend all the meetings except when I am not in the country. The coalition for now is not talking about who will be what. I am there for the benefit of the country.

Those who refuse to count our votes in 2027, we will force them to count the votes.

I went to the 90th birthday of the Vanguard publisher. There, I met Bayo Onanuga. If I see him on the road, I won’t even recognize him.

Being friendly or laughing with people doesn’t have anything to do with the law…if you do anything to face the law, you face it.

I will bring peace and stability all over Nigeria. I'll serve with the opposition, I will work with them. I want a Nigeria that works.

I will not go to St Lucia for holiday with the level of insecurity in Nigeria. I will rather go to holiday in Maiduguri and work to stop the bloodshed. I will not go to holiday when Nigeria is at war.

Wherever there was an issue in Anambra State, I was there physically. Anybody who wants to serve should be ready to put even their life on the line for the lives of Nigerians.

To bring order in governance, I will priotize security, education and pulling people out of poverty. To do this, is by cutting the cost of governance and fighting corruption from day one.

People are dying in Benue , Borno, [and other parts of the country] and our leaders are commissioning Bus Stops.

Nobody abroad takes you seriously if you don't have a stable government.

We will not be violent and will ensure that every vote in each polling unit counts in 2027.

If the coalition is not about stopping the killings in Benue, Zamfara, how to revive our economy, how to make our industries productive, how to put food on the tables of Nigerians… Count me out!.

In 2 years, Tinubu has not spent one night in any state in Nigeria apart from Lagos, yet he is going to spend 8 nights in St Lucia, a place smaller than Ajegunle.

Court Jails Man Three Years for Cybercrime in Lagos

Justice Ayokunle Faji of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, convicted and sentenced one Mubarak Suleiman Olasukanmi to three years imprisonment for cybercrime.

He was arraigned on a two-count charge bordering on impersonation and cybercrime by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

His travail began following a petition received by the Commission from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, in 2023, alleging that he engaged in Business Email Compromise, BEC, and online romance scam.

Investigation by the FBI in February 2021 had revealed an attempt at BEC on the City of Aliso Viejo, California, where an employee received fraudulent emails purporting to be from Tovey/Shultz Construction Inc., a construction company.

The fraudulent email requested that Tovey/Shultz Construction Incorporation’s bank accounts be changed to Anoka Wellness’ bank account at Bank of California.

As a result of the email intersection, City of Aliso Viejo electronically wired $521,518.47 to Anoka Wellness’s bank account as a payment intended for Tovey/Shultz Construction, which was later recovered through the quick action of the Orange County Sheriff's Office, OCSD.

It was further revealed that to achieve this deception, several email addresses were used to obtain the fake domain name used to impersonate Tovey/Shultz and its associate’s email address.

About 26 other email addresses were used to create several apple accounts that were tied to one another through common names, addresses and the phone number belonging to Olasukanmi.

The count reads: “That you. MUBARAK SULAIMAN OLASUKANMI (Male), adult sometime in February, 2021 In Logas State, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, fraudulently impersonated one Jackie Love by holding yourself out as such on your Facebook Application with intent to gain advantage for yourself and you thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 22(2Y(5) of the Cybercrimes (Pronibition, Prevention. etc) Act, 2015.”

He pleaded “guilty” to the charges preferred against him.

Following his guilty plea, prosecution counsel, Hannatu U. KofarNaisa, called on Owolabi Oyarekhua, an investigator with the EFCC, to review the facts.

Oyarekhua told the court that the Commission received a petition from the FBI regarding the activities of the defendant.

He added that “Upon his arrest, one iphone 14 was recovered from the him.

“He volunteered his statement under caution, where he confessed that he was into internet fraud and that he specialized in romance scam.

He also involved in dating scam, where he opened profiles on Facebook, using foreign names and pictures. He wrote in his statement that he sent friend requests to foreigners and made friends with those who accepted his requests. He stated that if anyone fell in love with him, he would then request money from the unsuspecting victim. He explained that he presented himself as a female from Texas, USA, using the name Jackie love. He owns and uses the email addresses: jackmorris2573@gmail.com and mindset996@ gmail.com to chat with his victims on hangout.”

The prosecution counsel, thereafter, sought to tender the defendant’s extrajudicial statement, iPhone 14 and documents print out from his iPhone. They were all admitted and marked as exhibits.

Consequently, Justice Faji convicted and sentenced Olasukanmi to one year imprisonment on count 1, without an option of fine, and two years imprisonment on count 2, without an option of fine.

The sentences are to run concurrently, commencing from the date of his sentencing.

“Supporting Peter Obi's coalition would be a gravę mistake for Arewa” – Angry Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri has warned Arewa against supporting Peter Obi's coalition, citing concerns about Obi's past actions and potential consequences for the North. According to Omokri, if Arewa backs Obi's coalition and gives him the Presidential ticket, they may face marginalization similar to what Northern Cameroon experienced after Ahmadou Ahidjo's resignation in 1982.

Omokri highlighted President Bola Tinubu's loyalty and integrity in supporting former President Muhammadu Buhari, suggesting that Arewa has a reliable Southern ally in Tinubu. He raised questions about Obi's credibility, citing allegations of plotting against Muslims, defending IPOB, and failing to condemn IPOB's activities, and appointing a Christian coordinator in Sokoto.

Following Peter Obi's appeal to Nigerians about his single four-year presidential bid, Reno Omokri said: “If Arewa makes the mistake of backing the coalition and giving their Presidential ticket to Peter Obi, exactly what happened to Northern Cameroon after Ahmadou Ahidjo resigned on November 4, 1982, is what will happen to Northern Nigeria. Go back and study history.

The Hausa and Fulani are the most marginalised ethnicities in Cameroon, and Paul Biya kept none of the promises he made to Ahidjo.

But in Nigeria, Mutanen Arewa has a Southern friend they can rely on, in President Bola Tinubu. He showed his loyalty and integrity by standing with Buhari and ensuring he was elected and reelected.

General Buhari had tried thrice without Asiwaju Tinubu and failed each time. But in 2015, Jagaban stood with him. And that fidelity made the difference that led to victory:

Now, do you want to leave him and entrust power to a man who was caught on a leaked audio plotting "religious war" against the Muslim Ummah, and has in the past made other disparaging remarks about Mutanen Arewa?

A man, like Peter Obi, who defended the Indigenous People of Biafra and said they were not terrorists? So who killed Harira, the pregnant Arewa woman from Adamawa, and her four underage daughters, including Fatima, 9; Khadijah, 7; Hadiza, 5; and Zaituna, 2, who were killed in broad daylight at Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State?

Who killed Ahmed Gulak in Owerri in May of 2021?

Today, millions of innocent Nigerian citizens will be forced to observe the infamous Monday sit-at-home in the Southeast. Has this same Peter Obi ever condemned IPOB or their sit-at-home?

Mutanen Arewa may recall that in the most Islamic state of Nigeria, the seat of the Caliphate, Peter Obi named Ifeanyi Ezeagu as the state coordinator of his campaign for Sokoto. He also named John Ezeigbe the coordinator for Lagos state.

And this is the man telling you to give him power, and he will do only one term?

A man who could not keep a promise to Ojukwu will now stay true to his pledge to Arewa?

Believe that, and prepare for the Cameroon treatment.”

It's funny, but let it be known that most of you don't know Jumabee. This is very simple and straightforward. First, before I proceed, I will give you all a simple understanding of what the Jumabee show is all about. The Jumabee show has been going on for over six years now, and he has brought so many big artists from Lagos and other parts of the country to perform in Kogi State. This is the only way to push Kogi State up there in the entertainment world. This year's show comes with different developments, which include the Kogi Entertainment Summit. Before the entertainment summit, Jumabee asked his team to confirm every entertainer from Kogi State and within. Let me tell you, most of the people they confirmed their pictures for, Jumabee is not even aware of them. This is his way of uniting Kogi State artists. It's very wrong to use an artist's picture without informing their management, but it depends on the nature of the show. First, Jumabee is not collecting tickets for the show; the show is practically free. If you know want it means to fly over 20 Artist from Lagos State to Abuja, then transportation from Abuja to Kogi state. The security details, the feeding, the accommodation and other unknown bills, you will understand what this dude has been sacrificing all this years. Lets give Jumabee his flower... This hero that come from Kogi state has really tried. Peace✌
