Peter Obi Clears The Air: “I Served Food Because I Live Without A House Help”
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has addressed the widespread reactions trailing viral videos and photos of him personally serving food at a public event.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to NIVONEWS, Obi clarified that the gesture was not a publicity stunt, but a demonstration of servant leadership and empathy, core values he believes should define leadership in Nigeria.
In a statement personally signed on Sunday, Obi explained that the event in question was the Jubilee of Hope, a private initiative aimed at encouraging the wealthy to step out of their comfort zones and serve the less privileged. He emphasized that it was not organized for political optics, contrary to claims by critics who have framed the moment as a ploy for the 2027 elections. According to NIVONEWS, Obi stated that third parties, unconnected to his media team, circulated the footage, twisting a genuine act of service into a political narrative.
“The Jubilee of Hope is designed for the rich to come down from their high places and serve the poor—not as a performance, but as a reflection of the equitable society we must build,” Obi wrote. “That day, I wasn’t alone. Other respected Nigerians like Cardinal Onaiyekan, Senator Osita Izunaso, and former Seplat Chairman Dr. A.B.C. Orjiako also quietly participated.”
He further explained that service has always been an integral part of his lifestyle, stating, “Even as Governor, I often served at events. Today, I do not have a house help. I sweep, clean, and personally serve visitors in my home. For me, humility is not a political tactic; it is a way of life.”
According to NIVONEWS, Obi also revealed that he extended his stay at the event upon the request of several poor attendees who asked to be served directly by him. “There was nothing special about what I did. Service should not be an exception—it should be the standard,” he said.
He concluded with a call to action: “We cannot speak of building a New Nigeria while ignoring the poor and hungry. Hope must not be seasonal, and dignity should be a right, not a privilege.”

Guillermo Hoyos has said his long-standing friendship with Lionel Messi will not influence his decisions after being named head coach of Inter Miami CF.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Hoyos was unveiled on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the club confirmed the departure of Javier Mascherano due to personal reasons. Mascherano had led Inter Miami to their first MLS Cup title just four months earlier.
The Argentine coach previously served as the club’s sporting director and shares a relationship with Messi that dates back over 20 years, beginning at FC Barcelona’s youth academy.
However, speaking at his first press conference, Hoyos stressed that personal ties would not affect his professional duties.
He said their friendship is “non-negotiable,” but added that it would not translate into special treatment or constant oversight on the pitch.
While the club initially described him as an interim coach for upcoming matches, later updates referred to him as head coach, suggesting a more formal role.
Hoyos is expected to remain in charge until mid-year, before a new technical structure is introduced ahead of the Leagues Cup in August.
Inter Miami CF currently sit third in the MLS Eastern Conference after seven matches, keeping them in strong early-season form.
Messi, captain of Argentina’s World Cup-winning side, remains central to the club’s ambitions as they continue their push for more silverware under new leadership.

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Segun Showunmi, has said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is well positioned to clinch the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a post on social media, Showunmi said Atiku’s political strength and preparedness give him an advantage in the emerging contest, while noting that former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi could emerge as his strongest rival.
He also observed growing political dissatisfaction across parts of the country, particularly in the North, saying both rural and urban voters are increasingly aggrieved.
According to him, these sentiments could significantly influence the outcome of the 2027 general elections.
Showunmi warned political actors against neglecting loyal supporters, noting that shifting alliances could reshape the political landscape ahead of the polls.
He further described Atiku as fully committed and actively preparing for the race.
Highlighting key regions to watch, he said the South-East may play a decisive role, while the South-West remains unpredictable, and the North-Central could serve as a critical swing zone in the election.
