Naija Lives Matter Endorses Peter Obi For President… Unveils plan to create 100,000 Peter Obi Cell Groups in Nigeria
Ahead of the 2023 general election, Naija Lives Matter, a non-governmental organization (NLM), has endorsed Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi for the office of the President.
Naija Lives Matter organization, is a USA and Nigeria-based public benefits organization committed to better lives for all Nigerians by providing social support for the underprivileged, economic empowerment to youths and mobilization of citizens for participation in political activities for the betterment of Nigeria.
Announcing the endorsement of Mr. Obi in a Press Conference, Naija Lives Matter organization Founder and Chairman, Dr. Ope Banwo, described the development as a priviledge.
Ope Banwo, who is a foremost entertainment entrepreneur said his intention and that of his organisation is pure.
In his words, ‘It is a pleasure to announce our organization’s endorsement of Mr Peter Obi of the
Labour Party for the upcoming 2023 presidential elections in Nigeria. In every election circle dating back to 2011, myself and Naija Lives Matter organization , as part of our civic and social responsibility outlined in our charter in the USA, decides which of the many contestants in the election year deserves our material, social and physical support’.
‘Unlike many in the country who would often pick a candidate to support based on who they think can win at the point of their endorsement, we at NLM prefer to endorse a candidate based on who should win the election, based on their ideologies, personal record, and approach to governance that match our vision for a better Nigeria for all’
‘Also, being mindful that most Nigerians have been frustrated, oppressed and beaten down by the Incompetency, corruption and general lack of direction by the two main parties in the last 16 years,
We are firmly of the conviction that it is time Nigeria grabs the bull by the horn and go in a different Direction with a new kind of leader, and with a new party, that has not held power at the center
Before. Peter Obi and the Labour Party fit both bills.
‘Fact is we cannot continue to do the same thing over and over again and then keep expecting a different result’
‘So, while fully conversant of the uphill challenge facing a third force candidate from a party different from the two main parties, in challenging for the presidency, we have consciously and whole heartedly decided to support Peter Obi of the Labour Party for the Presidency of Nigeria in 2023’.
‘Not only has he captured the imagination of millions of Nigerians tired of stagnation, bad government and visionless leadership, with his array of fresh ideas for governance and folksy manner that resonates with most Nigerians, he also has some solid achievements as a two-term Governor that gives us reasonable confidence and hindsight into him to believe he could be the difference maker we all need in the Nigeria of today’.
‘While only God can see the future and know for a fact what any leader will do when given the reigns of power, we are reasonably confident and expectant that Mr. Obi will live up to the expectation and aspirations of most Nigerians who are sick and tired of struggling in a nation blessed with so much talent and resources.
Stating that Naija Lives Matter organization is proud to stand with Mr. Obi for the presidency of Nigeria, Dr. Banwo added that NLM will do its part in the national assignment, having already activated its own Peter Obi Nation Support Group Project to join 1,000 other support groups out there working for the victory of Mr. Obi at the polls in the upcoming 2023 elections.
‘’This is a special project of the Naija Lives Matter to create 100,000 small Peter Obi Nation support cells groups over the next eight months, who will join with other Peter Obi support organizations to make history in 2023 at the polls’.
Urging everyone to find out more about the Peter Obi Nation project of Naija Lives Matters on www.PeterObiProject.com and sign up, he also encouraged Nigerians to join other patriots at home and abroad, in this struggle to turn Nigeria’s economy from one of consumption to one that is Production-based, thus creating a nation Nigerians can all be proud of.

Olowu Celebrates Former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida, At 84
Olowu of Kuta, HRM Oba Dr Hammed Oyelude Makama, CON, Tegbosun III, has congratulated former military president, Gen Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, rtd, who is 84 today.
Olowu, in a statement he signed, eulogised the former military ruler for his modest achievements while he was in power.
According to Olowu, ” IBB is an enigma. He has carved a niche for himself as a former military president. His tenure witnessed the completion of many monumental legacy projects that are still visible today. His Hill Top Mansion in Minna has become a Mecca of sorts for those who aspired to lead Nigeria.”
Olowu, who described Gen Babangida as being grossly misunderstood, said history would be kind to him.
He said, “The launch of Gen Babangida’s Autobiography: ‘A Journey In Service’, and the testimonies from the likes of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia, Abdusalam Rabiu, Oil Magnate, Arthur Eze, and many others, testified to his goodwill despite leaving public office three decades ago.
” On behalf of myself, my Oloris and Olowu-In-Council.
All members of the defunct IBB Vision 2003 and Vision 2007, I wish President Ibrahim Babangida, rtd, a happy birthday. I also wish him all the best as he aged gracefully,” Olowu added.
Born on August 17, 1941, Gen Ibrahim Babangida, rtd, ruled Nigeria from 1985 to 1993.
His presidency was marked by significant political and economic reforms.
A new dawn breaks over Agunjin — a moment etched in gold in the annals of history — as the crown of the Ariwajoye Adekeye Royal Dynasty returns to its rightful home. With this homecoming, the living legacy of Agunjin’s royal heritage is renewed, strengthened, and destined to shine for generations to come.
The proud sons and daughters of Agunjin welcome His Royal Highness, Oba Isiaka Babatunde Malik Adekeye, Ariwajoye III of Agunjin Land, with joy, reverence, and boundless hope for the future.
A distinguished Nigerian based in New York, Oba Adekeye is a dynamic and accomplished professional whose illustrious career spans cinematography, international trade, and hospitality. Born into the revered Ariwajoye Adekeye Royal Family of Agunjin, in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, His Royal Highness now carries forward an ancestral legacy steeped in honor, dignity, and purpose.
The new Oba Adekeye is the proud nephew of the late Oba Jimoh Ajide Adekeye and the grandson of Oba Alade Adekeye — custodians of Agunjin’s noble traditions whose names remain deeply woven into the history of the land.
As the Yoruba say,
“Adé kì í wọ́ lórí aláìní orí.” — The crown does not rest on a head without destiny.”
His Royal Highness wears the crown not as a mere ornament, but as a solemn trust from his ancestors to his people.
The Adekeye Royal Family extends profound gratitude to: His Excellency, H.E.AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, Chaiman GFON, Sadauna Ngeri of Ilorin, Executive Governor of Kwara State; The Chairman, Kwara State Council of Chiefs, Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, Emir of Ilorin; The Chairman, Igbomina Traditional Rulers Forum, Oba (Barr.) Alh. Ismail Bolaji Yahaya Atoloye Alebiosu, Olupo of Ajase Ipo; The Chairman, Ifelodun Traditional Council, HRM Oba (Dr.) Alhaji Ahmed Awuni Babalola Arepo III, Elese of Igbaja; The Ifelodun Traditional Council Members and the Kwara State Traditional Council.
Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to the Hon. Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs and Community Development, Hon. Abdullahi Bata, and to the Executive Chairman, Ifelodun LGA, Hon. Femi Yusuf, for their steadfast commitment to upholding historical truths and safeguarding the cherished traditions of Agunjin.
As the newly crowned Ariwajoye III, Oba Adekeye brings decades of professionalism, global exposure, and deep cultural pride to his reign. His vision is noble and unwavering — to champion sustainable development across the Agunjin district, preserve the rich traditions of the land, and unite his people both at home and in the diaspora under one banner of progress, peace, and pride.
In the words of an old royal proverb, “When the king builds bridges, the people will cross to a better tomorrow.” Ariwajoye III now stands as that bridge — connecting the heritage of the past with the promise of the future.
Long live Ariwajoye III. Long live the Ariwajoye Adekeye Royal Family. Long live Agunjin Land.
