Obi, who recently moved from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), made the remark on Thursday during a visit to the University on the Niger, a faith-based institution, where he donated ₦25 million for its development.

Speaking with journalists, Obi said his frequent party changes were not motivated by convenience, but by crises and internal conflicts within political parties, which he claimed often affected him directly.

He explained that he left previous platforms, including the Labour Party, due to unresolved disputes and persistent internal challenges.

“I have never left any party for leaving’s sake. I leave when I see conflict and crisis,” he said, adding that many political parties are driven by the pursuit of power rather than democratic ideals.

According to him, opposition plays a critical role in governance and should be strengthened rather than weakened.

“If I were in government today, my biggest achievement would be to build a strong opposition, work with them, and embrace their constructive input,” Obi stated.

Responding to questions about his continuous philanthropic activities ahead of the 2027 elections, Obi said he would not divert funds into political logistics such as paying election agents.

He said Nigerians themselves must take responsibility for protecting their votes rather than relying on financial incentives.

“I’m spending money on education because I value the future of young people. I will not keep money to pay polling unit agents,” he said.

Addressing students, Obi urged them to take education seriously, stressing that it remains the foundation for success in business, politics, and life.

He advocated for a society where opportunity is not determined by connections, saying, “We want a country where the child of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody.”

He also criticised the country’s value system, noting the disparity in earnings between political office holders and academics, describing it as unacceptable and part of what he aims to change.

The forms were delivered to the APC National Secretariat in Abuja by Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Recall that the forms were earlier picked up on Tuesday at the party’s national secretariat on Tinubu’s behalf by House of Representatives member James Faleke, following the payment of ₦100 million.

The documents were handed to Faleke by APC National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Argungu, shortly after the party opened sales for presidential aspirants seeking its ticket.

The development confirms Tinubu’s intention to seek a second term in office in 2027.

The formal submission ceremony is currently ongoing at the party’s national headquarters.

Speaking on the development, APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka said Tinubu’s decision to submit the forms reflects confidence in his performance and achievements, which he said qualify him for another term in office.

She made the remark during a livestream on Wednesday evening.

In a video now trending on social media, Peller suggested that Jarvis is pregnant for him, saying, “My baby with Jarvis is coming soon.”

However, Jarvis quickly dismissed the claim, insisting there is no pregnancy and rejecting the idea entirely.

“There is no baby coming soon, not for this kind of human being,” she said.

She further added, “Don’t even pray about that one yet. You’re not organized. Until I start seeing changes.”

In response, Peller referenced a luxury gift he had given her, asking, “Despite gifting you Benz?”

Jarvis replied sharply, saying he could take the car back and noted that it was still in his possession.

“Collect it back. The car is still parked in your house, don’t stress me,” she added.

The exchange comes shortly after the pair sparked pregnancy rumours online when a video showing Jarvis undergoing an ultrasound surfaced on social media.
