Who is Peter Obi? A businesswoman?

Odenigbo Aroli: All of you here including Chino are ignorant of Anambra politics of today. Soludo,Ngige(an Ide nnaa like me),Andy and Ifeanyi Uba will not smell the Awka government house. Soludo is in the wrong party,Andy Uba has a very bad reputation in Anambra,Ifeanyi Uba has questionable character and Chris Ngige is a cheat. Ngige only tarred roads mostly in Idenmili(where I hail from) when he was the governor but that not enough to sell him to the electorate. Peter Obi is like a father to Umu-Omanbala today and anybody he gives his blessings will lead us. We must do everything within our power to put a northener in the seat come 2014. The nothern Anambra has tens of very qualified candidates with impeccable qualities. We have Paul Odenigbo,Dubem Obaze and Oseloka Obaze and these is just to mention few. These men are shrewd technocrate that will make soludo look like a palm wine tapper.

slimghost:

So Ngige is now a local champion? And you call sm1 who lost in a run off disgraced? Dude go and sit down! Peter Obi is so powerless, yet he disgraced your powerful Ngige at the polls 2ice! 2014 is almost here and I will remind you of all these rant of yours! FYI, APGA is winning the guber election come next year again, mark my words!

Mr. Globe:

you are a rretard!!!

ACM10:

lol

Mr. Globe:

Lol.I certainly don't want to go into this argument. Lets pretend Peter Obi truly won that election. Why is it that as at today, Ngige overshadows Peter Obi at any function they attend together. Are you not foolish to think Peter obi has any power in Anambra state when he could not even win a single senatorial seat as a seating governor. Let me assure you, Apga is not winning any elections in Anambra again and any candidate Peter obi endorses will be the first person to lose the election

berem: Anambra Guber: Uba Unveils Himself


Anambra State could be said to have figuratively moved to Lagos, the former capital of Nigeria, when traditional rulers and presidents generals of town unions from the state converged to discuss with one of their illustrious sons, who wants to vie for governorship.

It was a meeting, where businessman and philanthropist, Dr. Ifeanyi Uba unfolded the plans he has for the state, if elected governor in November.

Indeed, the meeting was part of the consultation, which Uba, chairman and chief executive officer of Capital Oil and Gas Industries Limited, has embarked upon, in his quest to become governor of Anambra State. He also used the occasion to show his guests his business empire, in a facility tour of his companies and business offices.

This, it was gathered, was to let them know that with such big investment, he's not going into government to make money for himself but to work for the socio-economic development of Anambra State.

To be sure, the facility tour revealed so much about Uba. It proved beyond any doubt that he was on ground in business. He is a man who knows his onions in his chosen field of business endeavour. It shows his leadership qualities, as, having successfully managed his business he has all it takes to also successfully manage the human and material resources of Anambra.

It should be mentioned here that this is the first time a business mogul from Anambra State, who is interested in the governorship of the state, has conducted his people round his business facilities and investments as well as let them into his activities. With this Uba scored a first.

The f tour of Uba's facilities has another thing to commend it for. It is a testimony to the businessman's willingness to sacrifice all he has to liberate Anambra from the shackles of poverty, penury and deprivation. With such positive expose, the good people of Anambra State would not have any doubt whatsoever that Uba is a fit and proper person to be the governor of their state.

Having honoured Uba's invitation in Lagos, they have made a statement to the effect that they believe in this selfish young man, who has, through his "Kero Direct," brought kerosene to the doorsteps of rural and poor people, at a subsidise price, among his other philanthropic gestures.

At the meeting, Uba made his case and gave his guest the floor to ask questions. Of course, the people did ask questions and he was meek and humbly in his answers to the questions. And this is the way it should be, for after all, democracy is government of the people by the people for the people. It was a pretty long town hall meeting of sorts, which lasted from 8pm till 7am the following day.

This shows that Uba is a man who listens and likes to receive ideas from the people. This cross-fertilization of ideas is what drives democracy and leads to good governance.

After the interaction, the people were not only impressed but they were also of the firm view that Uba is the man who God has prepared and positioned to save Anambra State from the ruin and maladministration of yesteryears. The good people of Anambra State do not need to search further or any longer, for the Messiah is here. They have found out from the tour that Uba's investment is huge, massive and outstanding.

The facilities included ships, jetties, depots, filling stations, tankers, and a host of others. It became apparent from findings from the tour that. Uba's Capital Oil & Gas Industries Limited is one of the biggest distributors of petroleum products in Nigeria.

Of great importance is the fact that Capital Oil & Gas has been a major player in the downstream sector even before the subsidy regime. The company has tankers, which supply fuel all over the country. In fact, the activities of the company in the area of supply of petroleum products is one of the reasons fuel is available everywhere today. This is because while other companies hoard fuel in order to make huge profit, Uba's companies are only interested in making the products available to all and sundry. Profit is not the driving force for the company.

On a personal level, Uba awards scholarships to indigent students. There are students who attend various schools in Nigeria, courtesy of Uba's sponsorship. He tars roads everywhere. His filling stations supply fuel free of charge to motorcyclists in Nnewi every Monday. He intervenes in all cases where poor people are being discriminated against or marginalised.

He donates money throughout the federation in pursuant of worthy causes.

This may be the reason his detractors wanted to rubbish him recently by framing him up. To God be the glory, he was vindicated by the court, the court of public opinions and by the National Assembly. It became apparent that his adversaries in business were afraid of his rising profile and success story and they tried to pull him down by tarnishing his image and painting him in black colours as a man who could not settle his debts.

Anambrarians should search no more for a Messiah. We have one already in Uba. All the good people of Anambra State should now take a decision to crown and elect Uba as the next governor of the state. Uba is a great Igbo man who loves his people and Nigeria alike, with great passion and dedication.

His love for the Igbo became even more manifest when he committed a huge sum of money towards giving the deceased Igbo sage and leader, Chief Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, a decent national and befitting burial.

Uba has come to judgment in Anambra. He is the Messiah Anambra needs. As Jesus was proclaimed by the Almighty God as his beloved son in whom he was well pleased, Anambra people say that Uba is their beloved son in whom they are not only pleased but also in whom they repose great hope and confidence to lead them to the land of promise.

Surely, the cap of governorship of Anambra fits Uba. Let him wear it.

We need men little him, who are richer than the government they want to control and who will not misappropriate public funds, but will augment the same with their own money. We need patriots in power. We need statesmen. We need good men.

Uba is his own man and his own candidate. Politicians who are relying on godfathers should be shunned. The era of godfatherism should be over. The godsons have ruined many states and governments. A distinguished personality and wealthy businessman like Uba will not dip his hands into the coffers of government to help himself because he is richer than the government he will control. Uba is not coming to government to make money.

He is not seeking political office to acquire wealth or buy private jet, which he already has. Uba is coming to create wealth in Anambra, reinvigorate the economy resuscitate ailing infrastructure, provide employment and give hope to the people.

The leaders in Anambra State have seen it all. They are in a position to assess Uba and his pedigree.

berem: you are right! what matters is the candidate and not the party. Ngige has done it before and can still do it again. I don't see how Tinubu and co can control the affairs of Anambra state if Ngige is elected under APC. But it's better he remains a Senator anyway.

So that we can vote for Rochas under Ndi Ugwu party abi?! Asi!!!

Any Igbo man that wants to run for elections in Igbo Land must either be with APGA or PDP..

NO Yoruba or Ndi Ugwu Parties allowed in Igboland..

asha 80: 'uba is not coming into governance to make money'...nope he is coming into governance to use anambra funds to settle his 42bn debt to access bank and coscharis.

nnalove: As far as we (AGUATA) are concern No body i mean no bagga from Uba's family will rule anambra state. They will spend all their money both him and his brother they can never win. Anambra seat is waiting for Nige who has proved himself worthy of librating anambra from d shackle of poverty and service to his ppl. Believe it or not.

ibehkc: Me I ve got not much to say just dat ifeanyi ve done enough for ppl to write him off. D guy is rude and disappointing. He was challenging innoson and ibeto ova land, u can imagine who that will turn out to be. His dopey biz with coshcaris and debt should ve his name written on his fore head already. As for andy which ppl confuse with ifeanyi, am from UGA his home town and I must tell u that that guy and his family re just heart less. They furnished only d road leading to dia castles and odas re dust pound. D family just ve a plan of stealing Nigeria one day to sell. Peter obi I now building onitsha just to field a new candidate from his party since he will be godfather soon or already. As for me, no body should rule Anambra, its should get its decree form abj cos all men re opting to cut dia own share by all means. If u re not mighty rich in my state, u re not to talk. The rich ve taken over and same market men and women who loose sweats to vote in dis idiots will pay d highest taxes and get insecurity and poor infrastructure in return. I drop my fingers her

Sealeddeal: Anambrarians are already speaking good of ifeanyi Ubah. Anybody that understand anambra state well will by now know that ifeanyi ubah is a candidate to beat. To GOV PETER OBI,THE FEAR OF DR.IFEANYI UBAH IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM.In fact,as it stand now,the two most outstanding contender in the race to anambra state government house are Dr.Ifeanyi Ubah and Senator Chris Ngige.And let it be known to you all that the majority of people that will cast vote in anambra state is from grassroot of which Dr.Ifeanyi Ubah's name is already ringing bell in their ear.

berem: Is he? never heard of that. Business wise, is he as rich as Ifeanyi Uba?

Ejiné:

Hmmm... This has got me thinking!

callydon:
and if u EVER used ur data bundle on ur fone for any other thing apart 4rm facebook n pinging, u wud knw dat Ifeanyi Ubah has been cleared of all allegations as concerned wit Access Bank n Coscharis...
if dat is nt so, he wud nt be ÊlÎGÎblÊ to contest in d 1st place.
