Peter Obi Became A Governor Without Godfather Or Major Party by foryourmindlol: 8:27pm On Apr 23, 2022
Mention a list of people who became governor or president without godfather or major political party.

For those mentioning Ojukwu. Is IBB the godfather of GEJ because he supported him? Is Tinubu the godfather of Buhari? Is Abiola the godfather of Abacha?

Most of you don't know the meaning of godfather. A godfather is a person who uses his funds and connection to sponsor a candidate. The candidate in turn (especially in Nigeria) uses his office to do favors in multiple fold to repay his godfather. When a godfather and godson disagree, the godfather may fight his godson.

That Ojukwu campaigned for Peter Obi like he campaigned for other party members and his own self doesn't make him a godfather to Obi. Peter Obi used his own money to campaign and go to court when his mandate was stolen.

Eg of godfathers: Ngige and Ubah.
Thiefnubuu and Ambode.
Osunbande and Thiefnubuu.
Obaseki and Oshiomhole.

Apart from not having a Godfather, he’s also the first Governor to retrieve his mandate through the Courts before the likes of Thiefnibu copied his protégés Aregbeshola and Oshiomole.

Only bigots, religious Fanatics and ethnic jingoist are against an Obi President, but the better Nigeria will rise against such enemies by electing PGO as the next President of the FRN.

This is sacrilege!
How will a sane person compare Tinubu's performance as Governor to Obi's?
Does Obi have verifiable legacies like BRT, LIRS, LAWMA, Lekki free trade zone, RRS? Enough of these insults cos of 'overhyping' a candidate.
Did Obi multiply IGR by over 1000 percent? How can he fix Nigeria's economy when he couldn't increase revenue in a business hub like Anambra? U all can only bamboozle the idiots and ignorant clowns from your region.
The difference is Clear!

Clowns.

Peter Pandora Adaobi became governor because Ngige fought Andy and Chris Uba his god brothers because the useless Uba brothers can never be called Ngige's godfathers. So Chris Uba went to the election tribunal to confess that he and his gang rigged the election for Ngige. That was how the Court declared Peter Adaobi as governor. If not for the sharing formula that caused disagreement between the Ubas and Ngige, Peter Adaobi can never be LG Chairman. So stop deceiving your fellow dummies.

If Peter Pandora Adaobi did wonderful in Anambra, how come all Anambra indegenes are selling Gala and La Casera in Lagos holdups?

Has anyone seen Lagos indegenes selling in Onitsha holdups?

Even when Tinubu boys Fashola and Aregbesola abducted several of you all over Lagos under bridges where you sleep and dumped you at Upper Iweka Bridge Head at 2AM, before 15 minutes, you have all jumped into the next available Mallam Audu trailer moving cows to Lagos. Why can't you stay in your region?

Ojukwu was part of the people that created APGA and he is a godfather on his own who determines who become the flag bearer then.

You cannot be a godfather because you have no stake in the party in terms of influence.

Ojukwu is doing exactly what godfathers do. They canvass for their candidate using their influence and get them to power. What’s the difference?

So Tinubu is Buhari's godfather as one of the founding fathers of the party?

Godfather :
1 : a man who sponsors a person at baptism.
2 : one having a relation to someone or something analogous to that of a male sponsor to his godchild:
3 : one that founds, supports, or inspires

Re: Peter Obi Became A Governor Without Godfather Or Major Party by Udopasa: 6:59am On Apr 24, 2022
Even Mr Peter Obi wil be laughing at Reno. If not for Ojukwu, Peter Obi wouldn't have won his first election and re-election. Hence, he's rightly his godfather. And, If not for Senator Victor Umeh, Obi wouldn't have won at the Court neither would he have gotten favourable tenure interpretation.
