Always enjoy hearing this man talk. This is the first presidental candidate ever that make people around me say “if he enters into office, I don’t mind paying taxes at all”. He bring real hope to people.
Paul Ndukwe
Peter Obi I believe has answered all the questions we need as journalists keep recycling questions as he moves from one media house to another. He has offered answer to every question. God willing , he will make a good President come 2023.
Martins Iloh
With Peter Obi, God will not allow us to loose in 2023, I’m making sure every contact on my phone gets the labour party logo and I’m making sure I give obi 20 votes I mobilized myself…

This interview was sweet. We urge Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu to come forth for a live studio interview. They should stop hiding behind crowds of aides, assistants and media hustlers.

I can listen to his every word, no skipping.

Shamelessness and hypocrisy is when supporters of a candidate who cant even at gunpoint come for a live interview are busy analysing Peter Obi’s live interview, looking for any fault

ANYTIME I LISTEN TO PETER OBI I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW FROM HIS THOUGHT. HE IS QUALIFY TO BE OUR PRESIDENT.
Angela Kolo Tejan-Barrie
How great is this president having numbers in his head and he is smooth. ππππ. I keep saying Nigerians don’t miss this, I beg you πππ

Dear Nigerians, Whether Apc or Pdp Let us drop politics and be Nigerians first. If you put Nigeria first, you will want whatβs best for Nigeria. Stop puttijg your pocket first ahead of Nigeria. You canβt listen to this man and not be impressed. Nigerians let us move this country forward.

Peter Obi has the statistics for everything. He even knows the length of rivers in Egypt and Nigeria. Men, this man is something else honestly

There’s this sense of hopefulness that the speeches of Mr Peter Obi always brings to this hopelessness in Nigeria

Africa will rise again in Peter Obi’s presidency.

If we missed this lifetime opportunity by not voting Mr Peter Obi comes 2023. My tears π goes to the entire Nigeria’s… If we voted Jonathan out please let’s still vote in Obi. God has given us another Jonathan we ignorantly ruled out.

Have we noticed only Peter Obi goes live on media houses and not send delegates to speak in his behalf like Tinubu and Atiku?
Bora Nono
PO is really full of wisdom. He is clear and knows how to answer questions posed. May God grant us our heart desires by making PO the president elect of Nigeria come 2023.

The only opportunity to change the trajectory of Nigeria is voting Peter Obi
Chima Chinda
When going for a job interview you cannot send a friend, you must go yourself. We have 18 candidates applying for the position of President of Nigeria and anyone who cannot come for the interviews and speak for himself directly should have his CV thrown away. Peter Obi has opened peopleβs eyes. May God bless him.
Olly Zaki
Abati aludes that there is a ‘pandemic of empty pockets’, but he’s wondering why ‘Obidients’ are angry and intolerant in the face of another 8 years of undecided possibilities — make it make sense!
Victor Chukwu
It is a joy listening to Peter Obi , there is hope for Nigeria. Trust God and vote obidiently
Nonny Onyejeme
Can we give him Nigeria already?! Anytime you listen to P.O speak, it gives you hope in Nigeria.
GODWIN AMAFOR
Peter Obi is fuckin learned and fully informed widely. I live in India and in the state of Punjab, Punjab is one of the biggest farming state in India. They manufacture tractors π an even given out tractors π based on EMI payment method. With this , I now confirm that Peter OBi is the man for the Job, I beg you Tinubu and Atiku donβt know 30% of what Peter Obi knows , if all 50% of Peter Obis knowledge is put to work, Nigeria is boom

Peter Obi shared 24 loaves of bread let the other candidates provide the fishes and water.

Nigerians please don’t miss this GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY… Peter Obi is the MAN.
Spoilt Child
A devastating natural disaster that was neglected by the federal government and largely ignored by the media. Peter Obi has given it a desperately needed publicity with his personal visits to the devastated areas. A publicly that is is worth more than money. If this flood is bigger than 2012, then this is Nigeriaβs biggest natural disaster in recorded history and yet thereβs no high level federal presence on the ground

Peter obi, a new and better Nigeria is possible through you. God richly guide and bless you in Jesus name

DKDIGITAL
Been waiting for this video! My Presidentβ€β€
Flo Chinyere
Dr Abati please give Peter Obi his flowers. One thing (among countless others) that sets Peter Obi apart: you see those figures he quotes, such as the length of the Nile and that of the Niger? It means he has been doing his homework on how these things work in other countries including African countries BUT not in Nigeria. Maybe if you interview the other candidates LIVE, you will begin to understand the differences. Try and invite them too and show us that you have invited them and they refused to come.
Mateo Doherty
Very good grilling. I do not think Tinubu and Atiku can withstand such tenacity from Rufai and Abati.
Ogbonna Bosco
People call him Peter Obi, I call him Mr Ako n’ uche, Means in my language Mr bundle of wisdom.

I like how Rufai directs his questions. Is more of ‘How’. It shows that they have heard a lot from many aspirants but now focus on how they would achieve all their plans. This is very important.
Sky BLUE
God bless Nigeria. God bless Peter Obi. Couldn’t type such before but I think I can now.
Dannyye Barron
Calling Hon John Odey of Blessed Memory is really a fact that means P.O is really a sound mind who never forgets his past records of achievement. Late Hon. John Odey is the former Minister of Communication & later made minister for Environment during the Yar’adua/GEJ Administrations respectfully.

It’s only when Obi is on the seat that Reuben Abati all of a sudden now receives texts from imaginary sources to throw at him.
Samuel Ngene
He got me when he said… Even if you put gun on my head I won’t tell you how I will solve the insecurity problems, but I will solve it. That’s a Man with capacity and pedigree, he’s confident of what he will do and how to do them .

Why would Reuben, in his first question, mention only Anambra as places that Obi has visited, when Obi started off with Benue State, and significantly Bayelsa. Reuben is unable to mask his prejudices.
Rose Adims
How many times will Arise news interview PO and not once interviewed Atiku, Tinibu and the rest of them? I think PO should devote his time to other things than talking to these Arise News people. PO has so much patience l admire him and God will bless him for us.

I tell you that Obi-dients have been more insulted and victimized and lied against. But they’ve shown resilience and refused intimidation. No matter what PO says, whoever insults PO will get it hot. We can’t bow to those who’ve been paid to insult PO and intimidate Obi-dients.
Mensu Ize-Okhae
Peter Obi has quality answers to most of the questions regarding the problems of this country. I don’t know the devil’s demon in the presidency that makes things not to work in Nigeria, otherwise Peter Obi is an arriving saving angel.

I pray he gets the opportunity to perform his plans for Nigeria

Food inflation is 23% by the APC government calculations but in reality, food inflation between 2015 and now is over 400% at best. Using Rice matrix. In 2015 bag of Rice was 7,500. Today is over 40k at 15k would have been 100% inflation rate , 22.500 is 200% at 30k it’s 300% and at 45k 400%. How did they arrive at 23% ? Naira he lost over 450% value within this period in review.

Rufai is misquoting Dr Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed, Datti didn’t say that nobody was killed, he only said the usage of the word massacre is debated and he even went further to explain what a massacre is. Rufai sometimes needs to be very attentive before making categorical assertion.

If Obi says he will open up some cases of human rights, I hope he will open that of those killed in Ezu River. Its not enough to apologise to EndSARS and Niger Delta when Ezu River victims have not gotten justice.
Ekolink
This interview just show that Dr. Abati is so biased in his character. I watched his pre recorded interview with Atiku. He was just entertaining Atiku. Look at the questions he’s asking P. O that’s to tell you that he’s just PDP man using his position and office to drill and find faults in others. I bet he can never drill Atiku like this. What about Tinubu who has never visited their studio for interview. Well, they are just helping Obi without them knowing it
Oluwafemi Lebi
Rufai and Dr abati can pls engage the candidates on dollarization of our economy e.g why must Nigeria sell crude oil for our domestic consumption in dollars, dollarization of aviation industry and many sectors of the economy where people will have to be looking for dollars
Lawrence AKHIGBE
Is Peter Obi the only candidate, you guys should invite tinubu and atiku to your studio and their parlour and ask intelligent. This Obi is tested… let’s test the other two
Alice Edem
I wish Arise TV can invite Tinubu to question him also.
Olly Zaki
If after listening to Peter Obi, but because of selfish interests/bigotry would still want to vote for Atiku/Tinubu, you must be definitely someone to avoid like a plague.
AIP BOESS
The problem with both Rufai and Rueben is that they are not listening. Peter Obi has been to this studio several times (which is more than be said for his opponents btw) and has re-iterated that Nigeria’s problem is not taking advantage of its possibility to be production centric. And someone should tell Rufai that developed countries achieve Government revenue from taxation. If we become a producing country, we will birth many more businesses and employ many more people who can pay taxes like every normal country. What Peter Obi is saying is not rocket science. And he is the one best placed to do what he says he will do. By the way, if the APC candidate can subject himself to the same hour of grilling and he sounds coherent, I will vote for him!!!
Orange Man
Rufai is always present When they have peter Obi in the studio, But they same channel will also go to the house of ATIKU to conduct a recorded and edited interview..Double standard indeed
Everlycece
Anyone that is campaigning for Tinubu should realize that Mc Oluomo will be the next governor of Lagos. Continue thinking you can eat your cake and have it.

Ok. Rufai should take a break and see that his cough is taken care of.
Ifeanyi Ezeibe
RubΓ©n ask what make Peter Obi different, it is his consistency and the way he is transforming the whole political senerio, with the way he is all bring up new topic and discovery. It obvious he is shaking Nigeria and Nigerians and have motivated the youth to start having interest in politics and affairs of the country.
Paschal Opara
Rufai and Abati, what else do you want to hear from PO that you’ve not heard? Allow this man to concentrate on his campaign please.

But why ARISE NEWS refuse to interview TUNUBU OR ATIKU in their platform,I hope is not what’s I’m thinking π€
Decentralized African Community
We are very disappointed by the answer of Mr. Peter Obi in ref to controversial comments made by his VP. Peter Obi has beforehand agreee that it was a massacre. He does not need to outrightly his VP but he could have restated his own position and explain that his own understanding of the term Massacre could well defer from that of his VP.
BME Channel
Baba you know what you’re doing!!!! Peter Obi. Aaaaaagghhhhhhh. You too much!!!
Godwin Obue-Edwards
This guy Reuben must not repeatedly repeat same question about Obi supporters behaviors. Common, Buharists wasted so many lives in the north 2011, lekki experience is still fresh… why can’t you guys interviewer invite Tinubu the chief sponsor of Buhari.
Michael Ebeagbor
What is Dr Abati’s obsession with Obidients?? So far I am yet to see Obidients beat up people or harass them physically for supporting other candidates.. Unlike what has happened in Lagos and Kaduna more than once by APC thugs. The Lagos state Government even vehemently refused money from other parties to put up billboards of other parties.. When will Dr Abati ask BAT about his thugs beating up other supporters? Or is this question only limited to Peter Obi?
Endy
Love ya. We Move

Mr. Abati and Rufai please allow your host to answer questions when asked. You asked the man if he was going to resign like the minister in Britain. You did not allow him to answer the question. Can you ask him again?

Peter Obi cannot solve the problems of Nigeria because the northerners will surely frustrate his leadership the same way they did for GEJ. What we need right now is either restructuring or referendum. Let the people decide whether to remain in the false union or have their own sovereign states. The western region under the control of late chief Obafemi Awolowo was one of the best in Nigeria. Itβs like the southerners and southwest are basically funding the Hausa/Fulani tyrants while causing menace around the country.

Peter Obi is now held to account for the environmental degradation, not even the federal government is held to account. Where are Tinubu and Atiku in all these campaigns? If previous government delivered like Obi today Amambra state would be on the route to development, the problem of Nigeria is structural the surpasses what governor can do. Peter Obi has the right ideas let vote him in and hold him to account. We from the southeast can testify that Obi was the best governor in the southeast and Nigeria at large. Ruben is running his mouth when he met Atiku he was like a stupid spoof brown nosing Atiku.

Why can’t Arise news bring Tinubu to the live show

I recall that Senator John McCain during the 2008 financial meltdown called for suspension of campaign so they could return to Washington and look for solutions but he was rebuked and told that presidents should be able to do more than one thing at the same time. Had Obi done well as a Gov, Anambra would have fared as Lagos has. This flood has revealed who of the contestants has vision, it is Nigeria’s Katrina moment

Watched the interview full. He messed up on the EndSARS part & the issue of offering security solution on the step by step basis other that he answered the remaining questions fairly. What I also didnβt like was the two anchors threw softball questions to him. Non asked him about the issue of his boys of Biafra. Why has it suddenly disappeared since his emergence? Does he want to be the president of Nigeria or Biafra? And less I forget this interview was done on a Monday while his hometown was under lock & key. And for your information Atiku did appear on Arise tv for an interview. Tinubu will I believe at some point Mr Biafra President π

Wake up Nigerians,Obi find it convenient to be junketing about in flood ravaged areas in an election year, where was he all these years? Where will he be next year after loosing and thereβs another natural disaster? You guessed right, no where. Obi is trying to show what he doesnβt possess. He is after power for himself and his familyβs enrichment. Antecedents matters, where has he been all these years and even recently in Igbo land where unknown gun men is wrecking havoc. Heβs been mute. Sowore is the answer, his antecedents speaks volumes. Nigeria media like massaging uninspiring and empty leaders. They know who is the best yet they keep bringing to the fore useless nonentities.

VIRAL VIDEO: Moment Yahaya Bello Orders Kogi State House Members to Sit on Floor, Gives Strict Directives

A viral video circulating on social media has captured former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello making newly elected State House of Assembly member, Hassan Shado, and his supporters sit on the floor during a meeting in Abuja.
The meeting took place at Belloβs residence on Monday, where he received members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to discuss party unity and responsibilities.
Shado, who won the Dekina-Okura II State Constituency by-election on August 16, was formally presented to the former governor.
INEC declared Shado the winner after he polled 55,073 votes, defeating Godwin Meliga of the PDP, who garnered 1,038 votes.
During the session, Bello emphasized that Shado must strictly obey the directives of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo in all legislative matters.
He drew his ear to stress the importance of cooperation, warning the lawmaker to align with Assembly decisions even when he did not fully understand them.
Bello said, βGo and cooperate with the Speaker and other members of the House of Assembly. Support Governor Ododo in everything that comes to the Assembly, even if you donβt understand it.β
Bello also reminded Shado that political victories are collective achievements.
He stated, βNo candidate wins an election alone. Your people worked tirelessly from nomination to election day. Do not let them down.β
He urged inclusivity, consultation, and collective leadership, emphasizing that unity remains the key to APCβs continued success in Kogi State.
The former governor praised the people of Kogi East for demonstrating unity, which he said had been lacking in the past.
He further expressed confidence that APC would retain all major political positions in upcoming elections, declaring, βOur President, Bola Tinubu, will be re-elected.
Governor Ododo will be re-elected. All our candidates will continue to win on our great partyβs platform.β
Belloβs post-governorship period has been marked by controversy.
The EFCC accused him of diverting over N110 billion from Kogi State coffers during his tenure.
He evaded multiple court summons and even a failed arrest in Abuja that led to a shootout. Ultimately, Bello surrendered to the EFCC on November 26, 2024, after months of avoiding legal proceedings.
Despite his legal troubles, Bello maintains influence over APC lawmakers in Kogi and continues to assert political authority, as shown in the recent video with Shado.

Why Every Nigerian Should Learn Combat Skills β CDS

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has urged all Nigerians to acquire combat skills such as Karate, Taekwondo, and Judo to protect themselves in the face of increasing danger.
Speaking on Channels Televisionβs Politics Today programme on Thursday, August 21, General Musa likened learning martial arts to other essential survival skills, including driving and swimming.
βThat one should be taken as learning driving, learning how to swim.
Whether we have war or not, it is a survival instinct,β he said.
He added that in Europe, swimming and basic security education are compulsory because citizens must understand and practice personal safety.
The defence chief emphasised that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) should incorporate unarmed combat training into its programme to prepare graduates for real-world threats.
He explained, βThatβs what the NYSC is supposed to do, but the NYSC has been watered down to three weeks. Self-defence is very important.
Unarmed combat, swimming, driving these are critical aspects of human survival. We should never take them for granted because they prepare us for the future.β
General Musa further encouraged Nigerians to remain situationally aware of their environment, alerting authorities to any suspicious activities or individuals.
He said, βThe world we are in now is dangerous. We have individuals who donβt mean people well. They kill for whatever reason.β
Highlighting evolving threats, General Musa disclosed that terrorists increasingly use gold to finance their operations.
He noted that complex international networks make it difficult to immediately expose or prosecute these financiers. βGold is the main source.
They circulate it through various channels, including foreign links, which complicates intervention,β he explained.
General Musa acknowledged that bad roads and challenging terrains hinder rapid military response to attacks.
He said, βMany Nigerians expect immediate intervention from the Armed Forces without understanding the logistical challenges. By the time information reaches us, terrorists have already struck and vanished because they move more quickly in these regions.β
He added that improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the North-East further slow troop movement.
Regarding the Southeast, General Musa noted that the arrest of pro-Biafran agitator Simon Ekpa in Finland in November 2024 has improved security in the region.
He said, βTroops are actively pursuing Ekpaβs lieutenants in Imo, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, and Abia states. We will continue operations until all threats are neutralised.β
The CDS also praised the synergy among the Nigerian Army, Air Force, and Navy, which led to the arrest of Ansaru terrorist leaders, describing it as a major success in the fight against terrorism.
General Musa concluded by announcing an African Chiefs of Defence Staff conference to foster continental collaboration and enhance regional security efforts.

Police Arrest Fake Doctor as Woman Dies During Abortion

Detectives from the Akwa Ibom State Police Command have arrested a man posing as a medical doctor following the death of a 35-year-old woman, Blessing Sunday Etim, during an alleged illegal abortion.
The suspect, identified as Sunday Okon Akpan, reportedly owns and operates the Full Life Medical Centre (FLMC) in Ikot Obio Odongo, Ibesikpo Asutan Local Government Area.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Timfon John, the spokesperson for the Akwa Ibom Police Command, revealed that police launched a search for the victim after receiving a distress call from her mother.
DSP John stated that operatives acted quickly following the report, which indicated that Blessing had gone to work at the FLMC and never returned.
According to police reports, the suspect attempted to secretly dispose of the victimβs body in her room.
A co-tenant, who witnessed the act, raised an alarm, forcing the suspect to abandon the corpse and flee the scene.
Police quickly arrived at the scene, where detectives discovered a premature foetus, confirming the occurrence of an illegal abortion.
Police traced and arrested Sunday Okon Akpan, a resident of Afaha Offiong village, Nsit Ibom LGA.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect is not a licensed medical doctor or nurse but a community health practitioner who allegedly used his clinic to perform illegal medical procedures, including abortions.
The health centre has since been found abandoned.
DSP John confirmed that the victimβs body has been deposited at a morgue for preservation and autopsy, while investigations continue to uncover more details surrounding the incident.
She also promised to update the public as the probe progresses.
This shocking incident highlights the dangers of unlicensed medical practitioners operating clinics and offering illegal procedures.
Police authorities are warning residents to verify the credentials of anyone offering medical services and to report suspicious activities to prevent similar tragedies.
As the investigation unfolds, Akwa Ibom police have vowed to ensure that justice is served, and the public remains safe from unqualified medical practitioners operating in the state.

Trump Orders Review of 55 Million US Visa Holders in Mega Crackdown

The Trump administration has announced a sweeping review of more than 55 million foreigners holding US visas, aiming to identify potential violations that could trigger visa revocation or deportation.
In a statement to The Associated Press, the State Department confirmed that all visa holders are now subject to βcontinuous vetting.β
Officials will examine any indicators of ineligibility, including overstaying authorised periods, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engagement in terrorism, or support for terrorist organisations.
If authorities find evidence of such violations, they will revoke the visa, and individuals already in the US could face immediate deportation.
Officials stressed that the review targets both individuals residing in the United States and those holding multiple-entry visas abroad.
Since assuming office, President Donald Trump has prioritized strict immigration enforcement, targeting not only undocumented migrants but also holders of student and visitor exchange visas.
The current vetting process extends far beyond prior reviews, potentially affecting individuals who initially received approval to stay in the US.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, last year the US had 12.8 million green-card holders and 3.6 million people on temporary visas.
Immigration policy expert Julia Gelatt of the Migration Policy Institute noted that the 55 million figure likely includes individuals living abroad with tourist or business visas. She questioned whether allocating resources to review people unlikely to return justifies the scale of the initiative.
Alongside the review, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on X that the US will immediately halt work visas for commercial truck drivers, citing safety risks and threats to American jobs.
βThe increasing number of foreign drivers operating large tractor-trailer trucks on US roads is endangering American lives and undercutting the livelihoods of American truckers,β Rubio wrote.
The administration recently strengthened English proficiency requirements for foreign truckers following incidents where language barriers contributed to accidents. State Department officials confirmed they are pausing the processing of new work visas to reassess screening and vetting protocols.
βEnsuring that every driver meets the highest standards protects American workers and maintains a secure, resilient supply chain,β the department added.
Experts warn the broader implications of the review could ripple across the US economy. Edward Alden, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, explained that the administrationβs policies aim to discourage companies, universities, and hospitals from employing foreign workers.
βThe economic consequences will extend far beyond individual visas,β Alden said, emphasizing that employers risk compliance issues if they continue hiring foreign staff.
The review represents the most comprehensive enforcement action in recent US history and signals that the administration will aggressively monitor both legal and temporary visa holders to maintain national security and prioritize domestic employment.

2027: ADC Coalition Deceiving Nigerians β Baba-Ahmed

The 2023 Labour Party (LP) vice-presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has warned Nigerians that the opposition coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is giving false hope about rescuing the country from underdevelopment.
βThey are deceiving us,β Baba-Ahmed said during an interview on Channels Televisionβs Politics Today on Friday.
Baba-Ahmed, who ran alongside Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election won by Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) expressed his willingness to be Obiβs running mate in the 2027 presidential election.
Although Obi has shown interest in the 2027 race and is aligning with ADC coalition figures such as David Mark, Atiku Abubakar, Nasir el-Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rauf Aregbesola, Baba-Ahmed stressed that he wants Obi to remain in the Labour Party and contest as its presidential candidate.
βIβm in the Labour Party. Iβm a Peter Obi man. I still want Peter Obi to come back to the Labour Party and contest the 2027 election,β Baba-Ahmed stated.
When asked about his plans for the 2027 race, Baba-Ahmed confirmed his readiness to serve as a running mate for like-minded leaders committed to restoring Nigeria.
βIf Nigeria is still around and there is an electoral system to follow, my love for Nigeria is undying.
I would appropriately associate with groups and individuals aligned with restoring the nation,β he said.
Baba-Ahmed also revealed two potential leaders he would consider deputising, with Peter Obi being his primary choice. βThe first one has not said anything.
The second one is Peter Obi. Iβm always with Peter Obi until he decides not to,β he added.
