Alright great thank you very much
A very good evening to you my fellow Nigerians
Thank you very much for joining this space I do not take it for granted the time and the energy that you've reserved
To be a part of this interesting conversation because I promise you this will be very interesting
To begin with special greetings to everyone special greetings to
Buwamokaro Jury
Awards may never be able to express my gratitude for the kindness the support even the reprimand
That I've gotten from different quarters
Thank you Anika and the honorable lady who gave me the privilege to speak on their platform yesterday
I'm just a regular Nigerian and I'll be honest. I'm deeply humbled by the way most people have reacted
I love this morning when someone said in my mentions that oh omar you've been crashing out
Well, it's easy to see my volley of tweets as a crash out but they're far from it
I posted all those tweets from a cool calm and collected headspace
I'd like to observe a moment of silence for an amazing brother
One of the pioneers of Twitter spaces prior to the 2023 elections
The great Waju Akimanyuels
May his gen 2 so continue to rest in peace
You played your part Waju
And I just just like you told me during our last private conversation before your passing
It is disappointing to see
What's a movement driven by a shared passion and the enthusiasm of young Nigerians as morphed into
They say you will prevail
When good people choose to say stay silent
For those of you who might be wondering why now
Well
Patience is a true virtue of every genuine omar you are because as I out as would say
For cooking wood, you do
The ability to play the long game is a strength that every politically aware person must exit it
Contrary to what most of the present day members of the obedient calls may believe
I did not join the obedient movement just for the records
On this wonderful app that belongs to the great Alan Mosque
I was one of the founding members of your movement even before the name of the audience was coined
I chose to throw myself in the mix of Nigerian politics despite
having a long existing accounts on this platform that was solely
Used to follow my favorite football club as now
I'll discuss football banter with people from abroad actually just foreigners
I will discuss football those were the days of uber social
I'm sure anyone who has been on this app for such a long time would remember uber social
Then he wasn't just using the twitter app you have to have uber social and it was really good. It was healthy
And as the 2023 elections were approaching. I remember in 2022
Myself and a lovely lady called Derry we connected
And we decided to start hosting spaces
It took a while before we settled on a name for the platform
Eventually we came up with people's parliament because we wanted a platform that would give everybody a voice
Irrespective of where you belong to
You know in the political divide
We felt it was important for young Nigerians to be able to lend their voice to the conversation
We felt it was important for us to have a politically aware youth
Demography because at that time
Many of us realized that most young Nigerians were not particularly interested in politics
There was a feeling of apathy a lot of people had settled for the fact that well, you know
Anybody would win anyway. It was just a selection. It was never really an election
What we decided to throw ourselves in the mix
Anyone who understands
You know all these times that I'm talking about
Would remember there was this space that was held at the time where Segalink
The great Segalink and the Jardin of Juhard they very heated exchange with Nigerians
I can't recall the name of the host of that space but
Saddam spoke there and that was how I met Saddam
And what is now known as the violin space began. I struggled to remember whether I messaged him or we did
But we started hosting spaces. I remember that I missed a number of episodes
I think one or two at least stages of the episode of the spaces
I think we presented the first and second one together
And then I got busy and then I took a break and by the time I got back
n6 are joined and what you now know as the violin space began
And it was good. Oh, it was really good. We had a great time at the early stages of it
And that was how n6 Saddam and Omar became a thing
Now the reason for this preamble is not because I want to bore you with small talk
But providing the background is extremely important for the discussion we're going to have tonight
When this whole thing began, Peter Oby's campaign for the 2023 elections was just about to take off
I remember people would come on myself and daring space back then
And they would ask also who were supporting or who are you guys
throwing your heart in the ring with and all of that
There was simmering anger from young Nigerians particularly because of NSARS
I mean today is 20th of October so God bless the souls of the departed
People also had concerns about the existing political order
People were really angry towards the boi government and we just wanted something different
And what I would blame on useful exorbitants and a slight dose of political naivety
We thought we were being part of a national project
We campaigned viciously
And during that campaign
We definitely made more adversaries than friends
One of them is
Arle on the cotton for one of the
Think you're about first movement
I remember I invited him on one of our spaces
To have a conversation and he dealt into an uncomfortable part of Nigerian history
I'm based on the fact that we had a viewpoint that the project at that time was a pan-nageral project
I
Did my best to limit him from being able to express himself
Arle on the cotton for ice I deeply apologize for the way you were treated that day
You do not deserve it because history is very important
I'm a student of history myself and I understand that it is impossible for anybody to truly understand
The makeup of present in Nigeria
You're what people will say
If you don't know where you're coming from
It's difficult for you to know where you're heading to
And of course
subsequent events
proven and right
Because history has actually come to repeat itself
They say those who fail to learn from history are bound to repeat the same mistakes
Well, I guess I didn't learn enough lessons from that
And we repeated a number of mistakes
But we all failed to were part of a greater good
Well, I met some amazing people and we found the background group to coordinate the violin space and provide our own virtual support for a candidate
We genuinely liked for different reasons
For me, it was the fact that he was younger
He seemed approachable and he demonstrated
Analy desire to listen to young Nigerians
Personally, my conviction was rooted in the fact that
It would feel great to have a president who was supported into office by Nigerians
And even if he doesn't have to write within four years
Well, we would vote him out, that was what we believed
Just like Ghanaians would do another working democracies across Africa
Over the course of eight months
Many things happened
Elections came
And Ashifajibullah met in the moon
The rest is history
But having given you this background
Over the course of three years, I've observed deeply
What the obedient movement has morphed into
Sorry, I'm trying to accept my speakers
Yes, thank you very much
I've observed what the movement has morphed into
I've observed how many of the things that I predicted
And this is not me trying to sound like a prophet
Sometimes, are people, are euro-bath people, they say
If you look closely, you see your nose
Tehomaddejusiliyarii mo
I saw a number of things happening
And I realized that this is going in a direction that
Wasn't making much sense
I realized that in large number of people
Within the campaign had
Motives that were not particularly pure
A large number of them had similar in resentment
for people over their ethnicities
But of course a large number of them held those beliefs to themselves
Because they didn't want to
Maybe show their hands too early
The campaign was brutal
And I played a part in it
I played a huge part in
And what the obedient movement has become
Has become right now
I was very tough
On most opposition members
I was very tough on a large number of people
They would come on our spaces
Initially started as friendly banter
Initially started as
You know we just trying to ensure that our voice overshadowed theirs
Well with the benefit of hindsight that did not really
And that does not really seem like a particularly wise way to go about it
But as elections approached
Reality started to dawn on me
You're within a campaign and you can
You can see how things are going
You can see the half of that nature
At which critical things
Were being handled
You can see how
A large number of important events
Were
Surely arranged
And it was getting
To the point where I kept telling myself
Like is this election actually winnable
But also I mean I have people on this space
I hope what somebody is here
I'm looking forward to having my dear brother
I did you really want me
I hope he joins us
As soon as possible
We're looking at it at the time
And
I was thinking to myself
Do these people really have what it takes to win an election
You're looking at
Out of my reference and events
For instance the day the obidati campaign
Was supposed to campaign in the motion state
On the morning of that campaign
I'm really looking forward to our day
You've been here
We had an emergency call with a prominent obedient
A lady on this platform
I mean she's here
Madam Isha is who
And we started talking about mobilizing
For the campaign in the motion state
And I realized that
This is not good preparation
I understand Nigeria to
To some extent
I mean I'm not the
I'm not a perfect person
Neither do I have a complete understanding of everything
But you know that
They say if you prepare to
If you fail to prepare
You should be prepared to fail
And I knew that the chances of winning that election
You know
Was quite slim
But I also relied on the fact that
Many people were very angry
Young Nigerians believed in the cause of
What the PO campaign was about
As you are the volumetric one
As far as I'm concerned
Whoever gets declared
By iNEC
Is the one that won the election
I don't care how much evidence
You claim to have
That you cannot bring out
If you have any evidence
That you won the election
Well you might as well just bring it out
The truth is
Volumetric will won the election
And it was declared
As the candidate
And I'm going to reference something
That obedience might bring out
Just so you know
That I'm not afraid of
Whatever you're going to come up with
Around the time that the election results
Where to be announced
I was one of those who were
Clamoring for
Peter O'Bits will actually lead the protest
I mean
In Nigeria
Because of NSAS
Whenever people hear the word protest
It's almost synonymous to violence
And people would be thinking
Oh
Things are going to go left and all that
And I get
I get where that fear is coming from
NSAS
Did a number of many of us
And it's totally understandable
That people felt nervous
That
Okay
Things might
Get
Overboard
The protest might be hijacked
But
I'll use the example of
Uganda
You're wearing muslims
And it has been in power for
God knows how many years
Close to three decades
And is that different
Opposition members
In that country
Kizabisij was one of them
Before Bobby Wine came
To prominence
Kizabisij led protest many times
It was arrested
But it kept going
Because of what he believed in
And I thought to myself
You understand that
Young Nigerians are angry
So I'll expect you to
At least lead a peaceful march
As a matter of fact
If you are part of the protest
I am very confident
It will be very difficult for people
To hijack that protest
Number one
Number two
Your presence alone
Would give it the level of
Attention that he deserved
Plus the international press
Were in Nigeria at the time
The Bwari government was on its way out
And I could bet my life on it
Bwari was not ready to start shooting
At Young Nigeria
Six months before
The end of his tenure
It was Bobby just
He ran the election in a way
That you could tell that
It was a game of
Let the best man win
So I felt like there was an opportunity here
For you too
Even if you do not win the election
If you did not win the election outrightly
It is well within your rights
As a presidential candidate
To dispute the conduct of the elections
Of course we understand that the elections were
They were flawed in many ways
And that is the Nigerian election
We are still growing democracy
We don't have perfect electoral systems yet
Countries like America and the United Kingdom
They can hold an election tomorrow
But our own election
Take years for us to prepare for
But it didn't do that
And I started hearing stuff
Like oh
Focus on the judiciary
That was when I started laughing at the affoli
Like
Oh, Nega Zua
Absolutely joke as him
Because if you believe
That the judiciary is going to hand an election to you
Then you don't really know what you're doing
You don't know what you're doing
Because
In the history of Nigeria
In 1999
There has never been a president
That has been removed
By the judiciary
All that has been appointed
It has never happened
The moment I make declares you
As the winner of an election
Everybody can go to sleep
It's over
And once the elections were over
I used to tell them on spaces back then
There are people on this space
On this space right now
Oh, we testified to the fact
I used to tell them that
Look once these elections are over
I may I'll go back to my private life
It's not that deep
At the end of the day
We tried our best
We did what we could do
Bola Maitreya was one of the elections
We can only pray
That his governments
Is kind and benevolent
Enough to put the interest of Nigerians
At the forefront of its programs
And in all honesty
I also saw one thing
Because it's very important for you
To put things in perspective
Especially when you feel like
Planeas failed
Okay, so what's Plambi
We got six million votes
That is
That is very strong for a first time
Presidential campaign
Six million votes is no joke
In a country like Nigeria
You can harness that
You can build the Labour Party
Into a stronger force
And we return in four years
The four years is back now, isn't it?
We are back at that for four years
You don't reach
Generally elections would hold
So we can all maintain the order in this movement
We can try and coordinate better
We'd lend from the mistakes we made in 2023
In 2023
The Labour Party barely had polling agents
And anybody here can fact check me
On the morning of the 2023 elections
I remember placing a call
To the Labour Party chairman
In legal state
Pastor Diwakong
She can dispute it if she thinks
You know if I'm lying
And I called her and I was like
What's going on?
And I realised there was no situation on the room
Bro
That was very realistic
Started to download me like
I've stuck my neck out for these people
For eight months of my life
I don't even have a bloody situation on the room on the election day
How serious am I supposed to take you
Okay fine
Yes, you don't have a situation on the room
It's understandable
That's fine
We can still re-strategize
And we'll find our way back
Most of the obedience
One of them said in my mentions today
That oh you disappeared before elections
And I laughed at him
Because I was thinking to myself
On the day of elections
On my previous accounts
Who were you guys sending your sheets
From the polling units
Two
Or sorrow you can fact check me
They were sending me slips
From the polling unit
And I was posting it on my Twitter account
So that we can have some fun
Oh my
You did take those lunatic serious
Oh yes
Sorry
So that you can have a deal
What was that
Please
I'm sorry
What was I did
I don't want to take you
Yes
Yes, so done
Yes please
Everyone is going to speak
Don't worry
This is not an echo chamber
I'm not trying to give you guys any long speech
I just need to give you a background to this whole thing
And you know
I thought to myself like
All right
It's fine
Even if we
We don't win elections this time around
We can re-strategize
And then
I started hearing stuff like
I remember I was getting private calls from
Setting obedience
All that ones actually
Not the young ones
All that ones
I don't want to mention their names
People that we used to coordinate in the background
And they were calling and they were like
Now you know
That elections are
The presidential election
We need to focus on Legos
And back GRV
And I'm like
I'm going to minute
Big ups to GRV
Is a very brilliant individual in his own right
And I have so much respect for him
It doesn't have any
Public record of governance
So even if I'm going to campaign for somebody
At least this should be someone that I believe
In his ability to get the job done
And honestly
I was asking myself
I remember I used to have this conversation
I can't wait for your day to be here
I remember having a conversation with our region
I was telling him that
GRV
Governor of Legos
Are you going to govern people like
Muda Ashiru or Basal
Like are you having a laugh
I really
They will smoke you in no time
But I just don't see you doing it
It's about what I believe in
Isn't it
And then the rhetoric started to become more dangerous
It started to become louder
We have to we have to do everything possible
I remember when the Labour Party campaign
Train came to Legos
The National Youth Leader of the Labour Party
Prince Kennedy are a hano
