‘EVERYBODY IN THAT BUSH WILL COME OUT!’: Peter Obi Drops Bombshell, Reveals His Ruthless Masterplan To Crush Kidnappers In Oyo!.
Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has declared that if he were Nigeria’s President, he would have personally entered the forest where abducted pupils and teachers from Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State were being held to lead a rescue operation.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In an interview on Afia TV’s Eastern Eye programme, Obi stated that he would not have tolerated the victims remaining in captivity for several weeks, emphasizing that he would have acted swiftly to secure their release, regardless of the risks involved.
The Oriire abduction occurred on May 15, 2026, when gunmen kidnapped several pupils and teachers in Oyo State. The victims were held captive for approximately 56 days before security agencies rescued them in July.
Obi criticized the Federal Government’s response to the incident, asserting that the President should have taken a more direct and immediate approach. He questioned why decisive action was not taken sooner, given that the kidnappers’ location was known to be within Nigeria.
The former Anambra governor stated that he would have travelled to the area within days of the incident to personally oversee efforts to end the crisis.
In his own words, Obi said: “Days of kidnap of Oyo children. The President did not call the governor. What do you mean? Fifty days. But I’ll be there in two days. Is the bush not in Nigeria? That bush they went in. The bush is in Nigeria. Everybody in that bush will come out. Everybody. There might be casualties but everybody will come out.“
Obi also called for greater transparency in handling security issues, contrasting Nigeria’s approach with that of other nations. “And it is time when we say we resolve something. We arrest some people. Parade the people. Let people see them. What is happening? When America or other countries kill people like that, they parade them. They show it. Everybody sees it. In Nigeria, everything is shrouded in secrecy.“
Reiterating the need for decisive leadership, he concluded: “No way. It’s either I’m in charge or you people are in charge. I go home. One person must be in charge. And if you’re in charge, if you want to lead, you should be ready to die. If you don’t want to, you go home. One must be in charge.“

BLISTERING ATTACK: Timi Frank Fires Back At Obasanjo, Declaring His Political Value Is Pure ‘Whitewash’!.
Timi Frank, the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has dismissed former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s recent remarks regarding the 2027 presidential election, asserting that Obasanjo lacks the political clout to sway voters.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement issued on Friday, Frank responded to Obasanjo’s comments about former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the African Democratic Congress (ADC), accusing the former president of routinely targeting Atiku ahead of general elections and scapegoating him for past administration woes.
Key Points from Frank’s Statement:
-
Diminished Influence: Frank argued that Obasanjo’s political endorsements carry little weight, noting that candidates backed by the former president have consistently lost elections, including in his home state of Ogun.
-
Call to Action: He advised Obasanjo to focus on promoting his preferred candidate or scrutinizing the current administration instead of continually attacking Atiku.
-
Voter Sovereignty: Frank maintained that the 2027 outcome rests solely with the Nigerian electorate, emphasizing that no single political figure can halt a widely supported presidential bid.
“Your political value is whitewash and a ruse because any candidate you support has always been defeated at the polls… Atiku isn’t the problem of Nigeria right now and we dare you to criticize the current government like the way you cry about Atiku.” — Timi Frank
