Lol ... They supported because he shared money and he is not saleable. Your own eyes will clear by February when APC will be converted to a Yoruba party! The northerners are definitely going to abandon APC for PDP

No problem, let's wait till then. But Ganduj, El-rufai, masari and most northern governor was in Ekiti few days ago o, I thought they should be decamping by now!

*FROM BIANCA OJUKWU'S WALL

NO APOLOGIES, PLEASE.
On Peter Obi’s supposed ‘Stinginess’....

Sometime in 2009, ‘Mr’(as he preferred to be addressed) Peter Obi, Governor Of Anambra State at the time, visited Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and myself at Dallas, Texas. He came to deliver a get well message from Dr Goodluck Jonathan and was billed to attend a black tie event at the Dallas Marriot. Curiously, he flew into Dallas airport with one small carry on luggage which he insisted on wheeling around himself, and on getting to our residence requested to freshen up. He opened his carry on, filled with files and paperwork and a few toiletries and an extra shirt, when the Ikemba and I asked if he was expecting another item of luggage, and he said no.
‘Then, what will you be wearing to the event tonight?’, we inquired. Then, it struck him that he couldn’t show up in his casuals at such a ceremony. I insisted on taking him to the luxury men’s emporium at Nieman Marcus to buy a smart black suit. When we got there, he was busy doing the currency conversions. The suit that was a perfect match for him was a dapper Tom Ford suit with a price tag of 3,985 dollars plus tax. He did the calculations and told me ‘do you know how many students this amount of money can train in Nigeria?’ I reminded him that he was the governor, and for the caliber of guests expected at that evening’s event including the mayor, senators and captains of conglomerates, he needed to be dressed in top form.

To cut the story short, he refused to pay what he termed that ‘outrageous’ price for the suit and that was how we ended up at Steinmart where he agreed to pay a more acceptable price of 220 dollars, tax inclusive for a basic men’s suit which he was happy to wear to that evening’s event.

What struck me, was that as we were on the way to the airport to see him off for his return flight back to Nigeria, he reached for his pocket where he brought out an envelope of crisp hundred dollar bills. The amount in the envelope was 3,800 dollars. He said ‘ Anyanwu, this is the balance of the money I would have paid for the ‘Ford’ suit. If the label on the suit was ‘Peter Obi’, I am wondering if anybody in America will pay that amount for it. I have deducted the amount we paid for the suit we eventually paid for. Please use this balance for your Charity foundation to help those in actual need. I trust you will do so’. We all laughed heartily. Vintage Peter Obi !
The eventual beneficiaries of that Largese were Madam Theresa Agbo, a yam seller who was displaced when her shed was gutted by fire, Callistus Egbe who was bedridden due to illness, and needed help with the school fees of his young children, and the Mgbemena family of six who were thrown out of their accommodation (which we subsequently doubled to two rooms) because their breadwinner fell upon hard times and could no longer afford the rent.
In Life, You either live by your creed or you desecrate the mould by which the Almighty created you. Any progressive nation measures an individual by his values, not his vaults.
If this way of life is what is derided as ‘stinginess’ on the part of Peter Obi, then we all need to adopt this mould for a more sustainable and more humane 2022.

Iyom Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu
16 June 2022. then we all need to adopt this mould for a more sustainable and more humane environment.

Mbaka with his wide mouth, since Obi visited his adoration ground last 3 years and refused to donate money when he Mbaka coarse him, rather he preferred to give to God from his heart and not by coarse since then the man (Mbaka) just hate him.

The truth that Peter Obi is not a spendthrift?

Calling him stingy is not an abuse; it is a commendation.

Mbaka that campaigned for Buhari and said Buhari was God sent? Lol. Since the inception of democracy in 1999, Buhari is the worst president we've had.

Anyone that watched the APC presidential primaries and saw how clueless Buhari was looking up and down, you wouldn't be surprised why Nigeria has been in a sorry state for the past 7 years.

Nobody takes Mbaka seriously. Obi shouldn't even reply him.

Precisely. Mbaka is a fake piece of shit. After kissing Buhari's ass for years he got his ass kicked as a thank you. He ought to keep his mouth shut and face his fake ministry.

So Mbaka expected Peter Obi to carry tax payers money to donate for him!
Wonders shall never end.

Something tells me that Mbaka of a man is devilsh. While prophets like Elisha rejected the gifts of Naaman,he is keeping enimity cos gifts was not given him! I pity those who worship in his church.

Is Mbaka a God na?
That he detects who wins election and who doesn't?

This guy can not win, but will do enough damage to Atiku votes in the South.

SE/SS has always been PDP stronghold, but now the votes from there will be share by Obi and Atiku, giving Tinubu an edge.


SW is locked for Tinubu 100%, Seyi will fall in line when it is time and even now that his friend Wike has been denied vice president ticket.

The north will be shared by Tinubu, Atiku and kwankwaso, but APC has 11 sitting governors in the North, and states like Borno even in Atiku zone are perpetual APC voters.


Tinubu should just go and write his inaugural speech.

Obi will shock you and you must be Obidient at the end.

If Tifnibu falls sick again and maybe kick the bucket I'm sure you will vote Rotimi Amechi

Re: Peter Obi: I Have Not Issued Any Statement In Reply To Fr. Mbaka's Comment by Everlastingson: 7:38pm On Jun 16, 2022
Mbaka said Buhari is the messiah for Nigeria. Buhari came in, killings and unimaginable bloodshed everywhere, sufferings, hardship. Then Mbaka said Hope Uzodimma is the savior for Imo State. Uzodimma came in, unprecedented bloodshed everywhere in Imo State, suffering, hunger, destruction. What does that tell you about Mbaka? NOW Mbaka says Peter Obi should not be President, " because Obi didn't give him money". What are we supposed to do? VOTE FOR OBI INSTEAD COZ OBI IS THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB.

It is obvious you don't know politics, do you know that PDP has their own governorship candidate in these states, or you think they will just collect PDP ticket.

They will ensure Tinubu/APC win, not necessarily because they like Tinubu but for their own survival, most of these governors are going to the senate, senatorial election and presidency is the same day, if APC lose, they lost too. Don't you see?

In a free and fair election( which 2023 obviously is going to be), governors are useless. A governor has just one vote.
There will not be rigging in 2023 election so you guys should get ready for the shocks of your life.
Governors are influencial where rigging and harassment rules the day. This time around only accredited captured fingers will count per polling unit.
