Breaking his silence following his release from Department of State Services (DSS) detention, popular activist and political figure, popularly known as “Justice Crack,” has expressed profound gratitude to Nigerians and set the record straight regarding his relationship with his political principal, Peter Obi. The activist made his first high-profile public appearance on Monday, May 25, 2026, attending a dinner organized for aspirants of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC)—a political party joined by his political camp during his time in custody.
Addressing speculations that circulated during his incarceration, the activist firmly debunked rumors that the former presidential candidate had abandoned him to his fate. He revealed that while many people believed Peter Obi had left him behind, the reality was that Obi was working tirelessly behind the scenes to secure his freedom and ensure the welfare of his wife and children. The revelation clarifies weeks of public anxiety and online debate regarding the level of support the activist was receiving from top political leadership during his legal battles and subsequent detention.
The activist, who attended the NDC dinner fresh from his latest court hearing earlier that day, also extended deep appreciation to ordinary citizens and advocacy groups who championed his cause. He credited the collective resilience of the public for keeping his case in the spotlight, noting that many Nigerians stood up for him, spoke out, prayed, and demanded his release. For this overwhelming wave of solidarity, he stated he would forever remain grateful.
Reflecting on his ordeal and the support he received from both leadership and the public, the activist expressed a renewed sense of patriotism and hope for the country’s political future. Reaffirming his commitment to the ideals that led to his activism, he concluded by stating that today, more than ever, he is proud to call himself a Nigerian, adding that he still strongly believes a new Nigeria is indeed “POssible” and that the nation will definitely be okay.
