H.E. @PeterObi paid me a visit yesterday morning at my residence in Abuja. I was very glad to receive him. We discussed the state of the nation and his aspiration to lead our country from 2023. I have always enjoyed a warm fraternal relationship with “Okwute”. We collaborated

- What I saw, past, present and future, that made me decide to exit partisan politics in Nigeria completely: We aren’t ready for real democracy. Too much poverty &the financial corruption it enables. Too many evil, powerful vested interests. Weak institutions. Illiterate electorate
- I was very disappointed to view the video clip of H.E. Atiku Abubakar @atiku , a former Vice-President of Nigeria, telling an audience in Kaduna that what the North needs is a northerner to be President, and not a Yoruba or Igbo candidate.
- Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information of Nigeria: “...We have a country to rule...” in his statement earlier “suspending” @Twitter operations in Nigeria. Hon. Minister, a gentle correction: “We have a country to GOVERN...”. A government in a democracy should govern, not “rule”
- I’m one year older today. Thank God for adding another year to my life. May His blessings continue to abide in my life and yours.
- It’s my birthday today. I thank God for the gift of life, another year on earth, & His many blessings-health, parents who taught me values, a wonderful wife,lovely children, a successful global and national career-a life of impact & consequence! So far. Chukwu Dalu.
- I’m running for President of Nigeria. I’m not waiting for anyone to (fake) “call on me”, or until the presidency is zoned to anywhere. I’m running on a vision, not on ethnic identity politics. I’m as good as anyone in Nigeria, north or south, to be President.
- If you thought 1999 and 2015 were the mothers of all elections in Nigeria, wait for 2023. It will be existential. 2023 has two defining features. First, the rise of the youth makes it the first real contest on the ground between their aspirations and the status quo ante bellum.
- From the standpoint of economic transformation, presidential candidate @PeterObi has a strong, even if controversial point: that the economy cannot be driven just by (physical) infrastructure. The foundation of economic transformation is human development (social infrastructure).
- The "drip lord" @58. I thank God for another year, and for His mercy and many blessings. Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent God, the Ancient of Days. Creator of heaven and earth, Giver of life and the Shaper of destinies, take all honor, and glory. Amen.
- Three Gbosas to @NigeriaGov Minister of Mines and Steel, Olamilekan Adegbite, who has emerged as my favorite Minister in the administration of President @MBuhari, for reportedly declining to give @Tesla a license to mine lithium in Nigeria unless the company establishes a battery
