Peter Obi’s Antecedents. by zoedew: 4:07pm On Oct 25, 2018
Pretentious Peter Obi in retrospect

I think we are making some progress, a few months ago IPOB would never endorse a Fulani as their presidential candidate. Thank God the emergence of Peter Obi as Vice Presidential candidate in Nigeria is beginning to change the narratives.

Unity of all the people of the country is good but when campaigns for election start in earnest, the candidates will move across parts of the country to canvass for votes. I wonder what Obi will tell the Northern people especially the Hausa and Nupe Muslim community why as a governor in Anambra he decided to discriminate against them by demolishing their markets, like the Northern Goat dealers Market, Arewa Park, Arewa Onion Dealers Park etc.

When he goes to Yorubaland he will have to explain a similar action too at Osogbo Park, Akure Park and Ilorin Park.

These parks at Bridge Head had been in existence since 1977 but he decided to demolish them in an attempt to force non-indigenes surrender their businesses to indigenes.

As a popular and influential trader himself in Onitsha he instigated people not to lease or sell their land to non indigenes.

The Sultan Sa'ad Abubakar and Etsu Nupe together with the GOC 82 Division personally visited and pleaded with him to give them time to look for alternative places but he refused. The demolition of all their business structures and six Mosques were carried out. Many of them had to relocate back to the North.

A lot of the people of Yoruba community especially the kolanut dealers had to leave too.

There is another person who tried to intervene, a certain Minister of National Planning from North West. He was a deputy governor in CBN. One Yoruba Muslim cleric who leads prayer at Uga Street Mosque, Fegge area in Onitsha was in Mecca performing lesser Hajj and was in the same company with the then Minister of National Planning, he was complaining bitterly about the discriminative stand Obi was taking around that time especially to the Northern and Western people . Fortunately the Minister knows Obi very, he had to put a call across to him, he pleaded on him to temper justice with mercy, he never did, it was alleged that he (Obi) went ahead to report him to GEJ. What he told the President, nobody knew but people reported that he instigated his sack from office and boasted about it later , saying : we are in charge, this is our time.

It will be hard selling Obi as a unifying factor not only to the North but even to the South West, we all will remember how he instigated hatred against Yoruba people by sensationalizing Fashola's innocent action when he repatriated rehabilitated beggars on the street of Lagos and handed them over to their various state governments. There are more beggars of Northern origin in Lagos who were sent home than there are from the South East, not a single Northern Governor accused Fashola of any discrimination or incited hatred against Yoruba people. Obi's hatred hype that time made APGA to adopt the slogan:
"APGA Bú Nké Ányi, Party Ndi Igbo" meaning APGA is our own, the Igbo Party.

When you are in politics seeking public office, people will not look at the length of your CV, the schools you attended etc, they will be more concerned with your antecedents.

This is the time people will remind you about your past. Atiku and Obi's past are not lost in our memories. And the best place to remind them is the polling booths.

We are ready with our PVC.
