It was 10:30 on a Tuesday morning at a mid-sized marketing firm in Chicago, and the Sales Director, Greg, came storming over to the IT desk with his laptop tucked under his arm like a football.
Greg: “Hey, my Outlook is completely down. Nothing’s sending, nothing’s loading.”
IT Guy: “Yeah, sorry about that. There’s actually a massive outage on Microsoft’s end right now. Nobody can get in.”
Greg: “Are you kidding me? Right in the middle of Q4? We’ve got massive client proposals due by noon. What’s the ETA on the fix?”
IT Guy: “They haven’t given one yet. The status page just says they’re investigating the issue.”
Greg: “Wait—so have you actually gotten on the phone with Microsoft?”
IT Guy: “I’m refreshing their official admin status portal right now, along with DownDetector.”
Greg: “No, don't just stare at a webpage. Pick up the phone and call them.”
IT Guy: “…Call Microsoft?”
Greg: “Yes, call them. We’re going to get way more traction talking to a live human being than sitting around waiting for a website to update.”
IT Guy: “Greg, it’s a nationwide—actually, a global outage. Their engineers are already all hands on deck trying to bring the servers back up.”
Greg: “Okay, well, get me on the line with whoever is running point over there.”
IT Guy: “…You want me to get you the person in charge at Microsoft?”
Greg: “Yeah. Why not? We pay thousands of dollars a year for these Microsoft 365 licenses, don’t we?”
IT Guy: “I mean, yes, we do. Along with pretty much every Fortune 500 company, hospital, and government agency in the country.”
Greg: “Sure, but we’re a loyal enterprise account. We’ve been with them for almost a decade. Tell them to bump our ticket to the top of the queue.”
IT Guy: “…”
Greg: “Look, just get someone on the phone, find out the exact minute our email is coming back up, and see if you can push them to get our servers restored first.”
IT Guy: “Greg, that’s not really how cloud infrastructure works. It’s a global outage.”
Greg: “Isn’t managing vendors literally what we pay IT for?”
IT Guy: Sighs. “…Got it. Let me see what I can do.”
Greg: “Thank you. Honestly, that should’ve been your first move twenty minutes ago.”
Greg walked back toward the glass-walled conference room, already pacing and gesturing wildly on his cell phone.

Yesterday, I had the honor of visiting Benue State, traveling from Makurdi, the state capital, to Gboko, where I paid a courtesy call on the revered Tor Tiv. I am profoundly grateful to His Majesty for the gracious welcome and for the opportunity to discuss the development, peace, and welfare of our people.
I particularly commend the Catholic Bishop of Gboko, Most Rev. Father William Avenya, for his steadfast dedication to education. During my visit to the College of Nursing Sciences established under his leadership, an institution I have supported since its inception, I pledged an additional ₦10 million to help strengthen its operations. Supporting education and healthcare is an investment in our collective future.
We then proceeded to Yelwata, where we stood in solidarity with the people and families affected by the tragic massacre. The pain endured by these families, especially the children who lost their parents, is profoundly distressing. To address some of their immediate needs, I committed ₦5 million for the construction of a borehole to improve access to clean water, as well as ₦10 million to support the education of children orphaned by the massacre.
No child should be forced to let the tragedy that has affected their family determine the course of their future. Although no financial contribution can restore the lives lost or remove the suffering endured by their loved ones, we have a responsibility to do everything within our power to renew hope, preserve dignity, and create opportunities for those affected. Education must continue to serve as a bridge to a brighter future for these children.
The day concluded with a town hall meeting held as part of our continuing engagements across the country. I was joined by my elder brother and NDC Vice Presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as well as other candidates of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Benue State.
These engagements enable us to hear directly from our people, gain a clearer understanding of their concerns, and consider practical responses to the challenges facing our communities and nation. We are firmly of the view that leadership begins with listening and must ultimately be judged by the meaningful difference it makes in people's lives.
I remain firmly persuaded that leadership exists to serve. We must increase our investment in education, healthcare, security, and human development. Our goal must be to build a country in which every Nigerian, regardless of personal circumstances or place of birth, can live with dignity and realize their full potential.
I would like to express my appreciation to the Governor of Benue State, His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia. Before my visit, I sent him a message, and he personally returned my call to assure me that I would receive a warm welcome in the state. This exemplifies the true essence of statesmanship: placing humanity and mutual respect above political differences.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the people of Benue State for their warm reception and hospitality. May God continue to bless Benue State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
A New Nigeria Is POssible! -PO

Late arrival of election materials at polling units in 2027 is rigging.
BVAS malfunction is rigging.
IREV having network issue is rigging.
Over voting and cancellation on result sheets is rigging.
Missing collation sheet is rigging.
Attempting to snatch ballot box is rigging
Vote buying is rigging.
Parents warn your children, children warn your parents.
If you rig, your life is at risk. Election rigging is a treasonable offense.
