The rally is said to be going almost everywhere all over the state in the country.
Speaking to journalists, Awosile stated that because corrupted politicians had previously led the nation, a fresh, capable leader would be necessary to give birth to a new Nigeria and rid it of all the problems it currently has.
He said: “If we go by what we have been experiencing in the country, we know that everything is not right with this nation, so we choose today which happen to be our independence day to really march profetically for a Nigeria of our dream because we cannot continue like this, we need a new Nigeria. That’s why we choose today, our independence day as a very symbolic day for this kind of march that we tag ‘New Nigeria March’.”
When asked the assurance that Peter Obi can bring Nigeria out of the problems it facing, he said “You see, In the past you know that parties select thier candidate and enforce those candidates on Nigeria, what we have been having in the past is selection mixed with small election, now Nigeria have selected and rally round a leader, so it not the usual practice where they will choose someone and enforce it on people.
“In this case now, Nigeria chose Peter Obi as thier leader and they are sending their money to ensure that he becomes their leader. Definitely Peter Obi is not the usual leadership practice, Peter Obi is the people’s choice, voice and definately he will never disappoint people.”
Awosile speaking on thier motives, he said “Our Motive is to let people know that Nigeria needs new set of Leaders, we cannot continue with the set of people who has taken Nigeria as thier personal entitlement, so people believe that Nigeria is thier own so they continue to mismanage her.
“Therefore our motive is to send messages to those leaders that we are tired of them and also to let people know in the community that we now have a party that can deliver Nigeria from the mess it facing.”
“Peter Obi as a past governor, there are people who have been parading themselves as godfathers making people but we don’t need godfathers as a leader, we need a leader as a leader.
“Peter Obi is a leader and not a godfather, and during his time as a governor he stood out among his peers, he stood out to be the most prudent governor in his own time, who manage resources of his state judiciously. He is one of the best governor in his own time.He stood out to be a governor who deliver for his state and transform his state. He stood out as a governor that has integrity.”
“A governor who is claiming that it is his own turn to be the president can be called the one that institute corruption among the governors because Lagos State was the first state in Nigeria to initiate and pass into law a kind of pension for the governors which has never happened in Nigeria.
“So All Progressives People Congress (APC) presidential candidate was the first governor in Nigeria to initiate it and that is a corruption. Till today Peter Obi has never collect any pension, so in all ramifications, he’s young, agile, competent and dynamic.
“Our message to all Nigerias is that we must all work together for a new Nigeria. And to do this, don’t collect money from them because it is your money which they stole. Collect the money from them and vote Peter Obi.”
He added that, among the registration that was done so far Nigerian youth took more than 9 million, which means that all Nigerian youths are ready for better Nigeria.
Vice President Kashim Shettima has urged Nigerians to celebrate President Bola Tinubu, saying his leadership saved the country from a potential implosion.
Shettima said Nigeria’s economy had been teetering on the edge of collapse before Tinubu’s intervention, adding that the country could have faced a different situation.
“The economy was teetering on the edge of collapse, we were on a cliff edge,” the Vice President said.

“So he literally saved the nation from an implosion. That could have been the scenario. So, instead of demonizing him, Nigerians ought to celebrate this poor man.”
Shettima also called for a return to the drawing board, expressing confidence in the leadership’s commitment and the prospects for the 2027 elections.
“I believe on the bottom of my heart that with this presentation I have seen, and with the commitment of our leadership, by the grace of God, we are going to win,” he said.
Speaking about the 2027 elections, the Vice President reminded his audience that social media platforms should not be mistaken for actual polling stations.
“There are no polling stations on Facebook or Instagram,” he said.
Shettima also expressed gratitude for the efforts made towards promoting the cause of the 2027 elections.
Following observed mis-steps, the Federal Government of Nigeria has withdrawn the eight-count criminal charge brought against the alleged fake Director General (DG) of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), Adeniyi Adeyemi.
Biztellers reports that the matter, in accordance with the counsel of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Olasunkanmi Fagbemi, (SAN), the matter will be filed at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), instead of the Federal High Court (FHC).
Consequently, upon an unopposed application for termination by the prosecution counsel and Director of the Public Prosecution of the Federation (DPPF), Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), on Monday, Justice Mohammed Umar of a Federal High Court, Abuja on Monday, struck out the matter.

In a motion for the termination of the charges, Oyedepo informed the court that the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice has carried out a review of the case file of Adeyemi and the charge filed by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and found some loopholes.
The DPPF added that the documents allegedly forged by Adeyemi during his operations of the fake agency are those that can be prosecuted by the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
He also informed the court that a new charge has been filed at the High Court of the FCT and that Adeyemi would be expeditiously arraigned afresh.
He therefore urged the judge to strike out the charge as required by law.
Following no objections from Ibrahim Angulu (SAN), who stood in for Adeyemi, Justice Umar subsequently terminated the charge.
Adeniyi, 38, was being tried alongside two others whose whereabouts are unknown, on charges bordering on conspiracy and forgery.
The two others said to be at large were identified as Femi (surname unknown) and Anu (surname unknown).
The charge marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/25/2025, was entered against the defendant by the DPPF.
To secure a bright energy for her teeming population, Nigeria must sustain the momentum of reform, accelerate investment, and deepen partnerships.
This view was expressed by Managing Director, Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company of Nigeria Limited (SNEPCo) Ronald Adams in Lagos at the weekend.
Delivering a keynote address at the Africa Energy Conference (AEC) of the Lagos Business School (LBS), Adams called for regulatory certainty through efficient execution of reforms, sustained investment appeal to enable projects to move more swiftly from opportunity to production and partnership by operators, regulators, NNPC Limited and communities to unlock the full value of Nigeria’s resources.
Adams cited Nigeria’s huge oil and gas resources as an advantage but pointed out: “Resources alone do not guarantee prosperity. Prosperity comes when resources are matched with investment, technology, sound policy and disciplined execution. Success will be determined not by the size of our resources, but by our ability to convert them into investment and economic growth.”
Adams pledged the support of Shell towards a bright energy future of Nigerians. He said: “For more than six decades, Shell has been part of Nigeria’s energy journey. Together with our partners, we have helped develop major energy infrastructure, supported Nigerian businesses, invested in talent, and contributed to economic development. Bonga remains a powerful example of what technology, partnership and Nigerian capability can achieve in deepwater operations. Today, that story continues through Bonga North.”

Issuing a clarion call for action by all stakeholders, he added: “The world is not standing still. Capital is moving, technology is advancing and competition is intensifying. The countries that attract investment tomorrow are those that improve competitiveness today. Nigeria has begun that journey. Our task is to sustain the momentum and translate reform into projects, projects into growth, and growth into shared prosperity.”
The conference, the 4th in the series had at its theme; “Securing Nigeria’s Energy Future: Policy Reform, Capital Mobilisation, and Pathways to a Sustainable Power and Energy Market” and was attended by top government officials, industry captains, energy professionals, and students.
Lagos State Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat represented Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the guest of honour. SNEPCo was a principal sponsor of the Africa Energy Conference (AEC) and mounted a well-received exhibition on its deepwater operations and social investments across Nigeria.
