OAU: Late Notice, not politics, blocked Peter Obi lecture Obafemi Awolowo University says it turned down a venue request for a Peter Obi lecture because organizers gave just one day’s notice. In a statement, OAU PRO Abiodun Olarewaju said the school got “insufficient details about the event and its guest” until 24 hours before the scheduled date. High-profile visits need time for security and protocol, management said. That includes coordination with the Nigeria Police Force and DSS. The short notice made it “impossible to complete necessary logistical and security arrangements” for Oduduwa Hall. *“Not About Obi”* OAU stressed the refusal was based on safety and protocol, not Obi’s status. The university said he is “held in high regard.” Obi had earlier flagged a “growing pattern” of cancelled campus engagements, saying he’s had over 10 such incidents at Nigerian universities. He warned the trend could threaten intellectual freedom in higher institutions. OAU insists the decision was procedural. With no time to clear security, Oduduwa Hall stayed shut.

Labour Party presidential standard bearer in the 2023 general election, Mr Peter Obi, said Nigerians should join hands in praying for a new Nigeria.

He said in his post on X @PeterObi: “I attended the crossover service at the Dunamis International Gospel Center, Glory Dome, Abuja, hosted by Dr. and Dr. (Mrs.) Paul Enenche.

“The service was graced by former Presidents of Sierra Leone, Ernest Bai Koroma and other distinguished dignitaries, and a congregation of devoted worshippers.

“It was a time of heartfelt prayer and inspiring worship as we crossed over into the year 2025 with faith and hope.

“As we step into this new year, I join millions of Nigerians in praying for a New Nigeria—a nation where insecurity, hunger, poverty, and the absence of empathy are replaced with peace, prosperity, compassion and good governance.

“Together, we shall continue working tirelessly to transform Nigeria by prioritizing education, improving healthcare, and pulling people out of poverty.

“May 2025 mark the beginning of a new Nigeria that is possible!”
