Peter Obi: “₦210 Trillion Missing — Nigeria Is Officially a Crime Scene”

In a startling critique of Nigeria’s financial landscape, former presidential candidate Peter Obi has once again sounded the alarm on rampant corruption. This time, he’s reacting to the Senate’s shocking disclosure of ₦210 trillion in discrepancies found in the NNPC’s audited accounts from 2017 to 2023.

According to the Senate report, the figures are staggering:

₦103 trillion listed as "accrued expenses", ₦107 trillion in unaccounted "receivables"

And the worst part? There’s no documentation, no explanations, and absolutely no accountability.

Obi didn’t hold back, stating, “This isn’t just another scandal — it’s proof that Nigeria has turned into a cr!me scene.”

To put things into perspective, the entire national budget from 2017 to 2023 was only ₦88 trillion — that’s less than half of what’s been lost or mishandled by a single state-owned entity.

“This is a crim!nal, institutionalized betrayal of the Nigerian people,” Obi declared. “No responsible nation operates this way. This is crim!nality disguised as governance.”

He emphasized that unless Nigeria tackles this deep-rooted corruption, the future of our children will remain at risk.

His parting message?

“A new Nigeria is POssible. But only if we dismantle the rot.”

Nigerians, the numbers speak for themselves. How much longer will we put up with this level of impunity?

Breaking News: Opposition Coalition Unveils New Party to Unseat Tinubu in 2027, Names It “All Democratic Alliance”

–Lagos Reporters

A major political development is brewing ahead of the 2027 general elections as a coalition of opposition figures has unveiled a new political party, the All Democratic Alliance (ADA), with the goal of unseating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The new party was officially announced after a strategic meeting held in Abuja by the National Opposition Coalition Group, chaired by former Senate President, Senator David Mark. The coalition said the formation of the ADA is part of a broader plan to mobilize Nigerians and provide a viable alternative to the current administration.

Chief Akin A. Ricketts was named interim Chairman, while Abdullahi Musa Elayo was appointed interim National Secretary of the ADA.

According to a communiqué made available to the media, the coalition set up a 15-man New Platform Committee tasked with securing office accommodation, opening a bank account, and completing the formal registration process with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The committee is chaired by former Minister of Transport Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, with Dr. Umar Ardo serving as Secretary.

The coalition also approved the party’s logo, motto, and constitution, signaling serious intent to challenge the status quo.

The unveiling of ADA comes amid growing public dissatisfaction with economic hardship, insecurity, and political tensions across the country. The coalition believes the time is ripe for a new movement to reshape Nigeria’s future and provide credible leadership.

With 2027 on the horizon, Lagos Reporters will continue to monitor this emerging political force and its impact on the national landscape.
