Knowing that I voted for Peter Obi in the last election is the balm that soothes my soul in the chaos we are in today.
It gives me peace, real peace, knowing I wasn’t one of those who contributed to the mess Nigeria has become.
Every day I wake up and see the rising cost of food, the endless fuel queues, the insecurity, and the silence of leaders who once made promises, I remind myself:
“I chose differently. I chose well.”
I don’t care if I’m the only one standing with him in the next election.
I’ll stand, boldly and proudly.
Because supporting a man like Peter Obi is not just about politics, it’s about values, about conscience, about legacy.
This is a man who served as governor of Anambra and left behind billions in savings, not debt.
A man who reduced the cost of governance, who cut waste, who invested in education, and who governed with a human face.
Even his fiercest critics have no scandals to pin on him.
No skeletons in his closet to blackmail him with, unlike the others.
That scares corrupt people.
That threatens the system.
And that’s exactly why I support him.
When I go to bed at night, I sleep with peace in my heart because I know I chose a man who represents the kind of Nigeria I want to see, one where integrity is not mocked, where truth is not silenced, and where leadership actually means service.
Some say politics is about numbers.
I say it’s about conviction.
And I’m convicted, convinced, and content knowing I stand with a consistent good man.
One who still walks freely in the market, who talks to the people directly, and who doesn’t need a convoy of 50 to feel powerful.
So if you’re wondering where I stand, this is me, telling you clearly:
I stand with Peter Obi.
Even if I stand alone.
And if you feel this too, you’re not alone.
We are many.
And we still believe.
