Its not saddening to you, you want them to hold power even though you're suffering.
Keep deceiving yourself.

No I don't, but who are the alternatives??

On contract orBased on principles.?.On contract orBased on principles.?....

DMerciful:
You guys are repeating what you said before 2023 election that Obi will not get upto 1 million votes. Guess what? He won but was rigged out

Won what? He got the votes that he deserved it fell short. He's finished as far as the presidency is concerned

Did you not say more than this before 2023 election?

Roger3D:

[/color]ur man is desperately jostling to become AA vice, he's seriously pained that he lost out in his bid in the last election[color=#770077]

What's the connection between this NONSENSE and what I wrote? 🙄

Sowore bawo? Who will vote for him in Sokoto, Kano, kebbi etal??

This guy is delusional.

Musauzor:
Sowore is always making himself more unpopular every four years while Deji Adeyanju is cashing out big time every four years.

Sowore is just contesting, he knows that he cannot win.

SmartPolician:


Keep living in a cloud cuckoo land; nobody can save a man from himself.

I won't reply you again.

Tell us what he achieved....
We would tell you what Obiano said.

Emu4life:

So we thought in 2019.

2023 election is clear indication that Inec is for the highest bidder!

NLCreator:

Same here bro. Sowore till he wins

Donedeal1:
On contract or
Based on principles.?.

Based on padi padi parole 😤

once LP merge with PDP, OBI go lose support.

Smithkafors:
Lol, they have come again.

You need a credible candidate,PO contested but you kept on castigating him.

Now they want to form a merger to win … you still dey castigate.

This could be because of something else. We welcome merger

Show's peter Obi is fake and fooling you his blind slave's

NLCreator:

So peter Obi won be vice president to atiku, what a shame, what a disgrace.... Obasanjo will never support you peter Obi

Emu4life:

The problem is Obi was a Governor for 8 years with no tangible achievement. These are things that matter to neutralists who also make a sizeable portion of Voters..

Neither of them is convincing enough. It's saddening to think APC would be holding power beyond 2027.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally challenge his wrongful impeachment and was reinstated by the Courts.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to seek the interpretation of tenures of Governors when INEC allowed elections to take place in Anambra State when his tenure had not expired; the election already concluded was cancelled and he was allowed to complete his tenure.

*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost 40 years after creation of the State.

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

*He was the first serving Governor to be appointed into the Presidential Economic Management Team.

*He was among the first Governors to be honoured with a National Award in 2011, while still in office.

*Though the only Governor whose political party was in government in only one State, he was elected Vice-Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum twice.

*Though the only non-PDP Governor in the South-East (made up of 5 States), he was elected by the other 4 PDP Governors as their Chairman for 8 years rather than the usual one year.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.

Call your foolishness any name I give no shit tell obi to come back 2027 then you will get the message clearer.

DMerciful:
You're making it seems the continued suffering of Nigerians and their desire for change is irrelevant to the electoral process.

Bubu and Tinubu attempted to merge for the 2011 election but it failed. They tried again in 2015 and succeeded.

PDP cannot blame Obi for their woes but Atiku. 2019 Atiku and Obi, Atiku did not pull his weight in the North. 2023 again Atiku did not pull his weight in the North. He should forget the presidency and support Obi in 2027

You just nailed it. Be the king maker in 2027 and be the king in 2031 as simple as ABC

Ironbull:


Call your foolishness any name I give no shit tell obi to come back 2027 then you will get the message clearer.

You just keep shouting obi like a lunatic
What about Imolumem
Is he not coming back in 2027 or are you not voting him again?

Comerade Ndi stomach infrastructure...

Emu4life:

The problem is Obi was a Governor for 8 years with no tangible achievement. These are things that matter to neutralists who also make a sizeable portion of Voters..

What in your opinion is a "tangible" achievement?

This man again... This man again... ...

Emu4life:

No I don't, but who are the alternatives??

Like I said, keep deceiving yourself.

ivolt:

What in your opinion is a "tangible" achievement?

And let him provide examples of what a tangible achievement means using other past governors as reference including Tinubu.
