Nigeria Will Be Rescued Through Non-Violent Means....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Labour Party has strongly refuted recent media reports hinting at the potential arrest of its presidential candidate, Peter Gregory Obi, in connection with an alleged violent seizure of political power.
In a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Pastor Obiora Ifoh, it was clarified that Mr. Obi had unequivocally rejected any calls for violence immediately following the election results, rendering the allegations completely unfounded.
The statement reads as follows: “The Labour Party has become aware of various trending reports in both print and video formats suggesting the imminent arrest of its presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi. These reports often include so-called prophecies urging prayers for Obi, insinuating an impending arrest. Ordinarily, such reports might not merit our attention.

“However, our concern arises when these fabricated stories are juxtaposed with video clips extracted from pre-election and campaign speeches, in which Mr. Obi emphasized to Nigerian youths the significance of reclaiming our nation. The attempt to manipulate these videos, presenting them as recent remarks, is clearly mischievous, if not outrightly deceitful. The objective seems to be to concoct a false sense of guilt and entrapment.
“It is imperative for us to emphasize Mr. Obi’s unwavering commitment to the rule of law and his advocacy for non-violent politics. On March 1st, 2023, when INEC announced the election results at 4 a.m., Mr. Obi faced significant pressure from his supporters nationwide and in the diaspora, urging him to authorize mass protests. However, he declined these requests, maintaining that the process of reclaiming Nigeria through him would be achieved through proper and peaceful means, not through violence.
“Recent insinuations that Mr. Obi is promoting violence are entirely baseless and appear to be the product of imagination, an attempt to tarnish his reputation unjustly.
“The Labour Party wishes to underline that Mr. Obi is not a proponent of violence; rather, he firmly believes in the pursuit of justice, even if it takes time. As a person of faith, the former Governor of Anambra State holds a strong conviction that a better Nigeria can be attained through due process, and there is no need to push his supporters onto the streets to achieve this goal.
“Consequently, the Labour Party advises prophets and fortune tellers, whether real or fictitious, to refrain from associating Mr. Obi with their prophecies. His faith is firmly grounded in Nigerians and his faith in God, not in imaginary fortune tellers.”
The Labour Party affirmed.

Represented by his Chief of Staff, Caleb Ajagba, Otti said the project would transform Aba and the wider Abia State into a major industrial hub, fostering sustainable economic growth and large-scale job creation upon completion.
He emphasized that his administration prioritises the creation of quality employment over handouts, noting that meaningful jobs remain the most effective way to empower youths and citizens.
The governor also called for sustained public-private sector collaboration in the state’s development, citing the recent achievement of 90 days of uninterrupted power supply in Aba as a product of effective partnership between the government and private investors.
Speaking on the project, the Manager of Technical Services for Aba Commercial Smart City, Mr. David Okoro, disclosed that the development would occupy 140 hectares of land in Osisioma and generate 25,000 direct jobs and 100,000 indirect jobs for residents of Abia State.

“Today, 10 inmates who have been corrected and reformed are being matriculated into Yewa Central College of Education. As you begin this journey on February 6, 2026, I urge you to conduct yourselves properly,” Bamgbose said.
“As God is showing you mercy through this opportunity, I believe you can one day serve as good ambassadors of our college outside this system,” she added.
Speaking on behalf of the new students, Peter Adike expressed gratitude and pledged that, despite their incarceration, they are determined to make the opportunity count.
