Sowore: Obi Unfit For Presidency, He Has Nothing To Show As Governor by beerfraud: 5:41am On Sep 03, 2022

Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) , says Peter Obi, flagbearer of Labour Party (LP), is not the “right candidate” for presidency.
Sowore spoke on Friday in an interview on Channels Television.

The candidacy of Obi, a former Anambra governor, is currently witnessing growing support, especially on social media.

On several occasions, supporters of Obi, better known as ‘Obidents’, have clashed with some Nigerians, including Sowore, who have expressed divergent views on social media.

Speaking on what he thinks of Obi’s candidacy, Sowore said the former governor is part of the “old system” that he has always criticised.

The AAC presidential candidate said Obi is not his kind of “progressive” politician, while claiming that the LP candidate did not execute any project during his tenure as Anambra governor.

“Why would I see Peter Obi as a threat? Peter Obi is part of the old system that I have always fought,” he said.

“I understand where he is coming from. This is 1999 repeated; Nigeria wants change. Some young people who are genuinely interested in change are presented with somebody who works for the establishment; someone who was in PDP, APGA, came back to PDP and then LP. He is not new to a rotten system — somebody who spent eight years as governor of a state.

“You can be emotional about it but that is the truth. He did not build any school, industry and power station. He is not my kind of progressive.

“Anybody who has been in government for eight years that has nothing to show for it is not my right candidate for Nigeria.”

Asked why he is being perceived as “harsh” towards Obi’s supporters, Sowore said he only spoke against the harassment of people who are not supporting the LP candidate.

“My first intervention that was considered harsh was Reno Omokri — someone who has done everything in this world to lie against me. But when it comes to his fundamental rights, and he has a one-year-old daughter who he said was genuinely threatened, I came in and said ‘this is wrong; we shouldn’t be threatening a one-year-old girl. Nobody shouldn’t be threatened’.”

That is the more reason we have to judge all the frontline presidential candidates on their antecedent & track records.
Obi cannot absolved himself from the leadership failures we've had in the past & present.

Imagine a so call presidential aspirant busy dragging someone that till he dies he won't be able to lace his shoes . Anyways , we all know that Sowore is contesting for SUG president not Nigerian president.

Peter Obi is unfit, but Tinubu that this idiot Sowore is indirectly campaigning for that is bedeviled with parkinson disease and for the period of 8years he ruled Lagos, have nothing at all to show for those wasted years aside claiming Fashola and Ambode's projects as his, is very fit.

You can't be supporting Tinubu and not sound foolish.

Inasmuch as I hate Sowore, but let's called a spade a spade, Tinubu is so unfit even to rule his family talkless of ruling a complex nation like Nigeria.

Exactly, old age has finally caught up with Tinubu. We cannot allow him lead us when he has lost his old brilliance. Its obvious from all his recent errors.

Age is no respecter of persons, when you are old, you are old.

Sowore has lost his mind for not been recognized the way the masses of Nigeria love PO..

Sometimes in life i don't blame poo'hari for treating him like a dog . ... He is thesame person who abused GEJ and supported to bring in a disaster like poo'hari...

He has been hurled and bullied like a dog for instigating a Revolution under the current maladministration.... He is now quiet against poo'hari like the dog he is , abused and told to sit at a corner and wait for commands before barking. ...

He likes to take advantage of peace loving men like GEJ and PO because these men are loved..
. It is his hatred that is eating him up trying to come through the backdoor like a thief in the night to be loved like GEJ and PO...

Why only PO , why not Atiku or Tinubu,, there are candidates like Kwankwaso but why only PO....

SOWORE if you don't stop your cheap blackmail against an innocent man you will end up be forgotten..

A word is enough

You and Confused Sowore should please do well and visit this enlightening Nairaland thread https://www.nairaland.com/7313723/some-projects-done-peter-obi


Tell Sowore that his matches in politics are the likes of Kachukwu of ADC, Kola Abiola of Accord or so, the lady that was fronting for SDP, defunct Olawepo-Hashim and Kingsley Moghalu, not great Peter Obi that Sowore's secret Boss and financier Bola Ahmed Tinubu is struggling to meet up to his level.




Sowore should forget his political pipe dream and go back to his brown envelope online journalism that he and his financier Tinubu used to cook up lies and propaganda to deceive Nigerians into ganging up against great man like Goodluck Jonathan to foist a calamity called Buhari on Nigerians.



Jokers grin

*MR. PETER OBI SUCCESSES IN ANAMBRA STATE AS A GOVERNOR*
The list below are the records of Mr. Peter Obi stewardship to the good people of Anambra when he was their Governor and not the one his predecessor or successor achieved. Why some are afraid to tell the world what they did during their own tenure but prefer showcasing the achievements of their successors because they know they performed below percentage. Please happy reading.
1. Peter Obi built from scratch Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku, Akwa with 25 building structures.
2. Accreditation of 12 Health Institutions, among are:
Iyiemu Hospital, Ogidi
Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala
Holy Rosary Waterside, Onitsha
Saint Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu
Also built different Health Care and Maternal Centres across the state.
3. He was the first governor to purchase medical equipment of about 135 million and 50 live ambulances to some hospitals. All still functioning till date.
4. He built Joseph Nwilo Health Centre, where Heart Operations are performed.
5. Anambra was the first state in Nigeria to distribute 30,000 computers and 32,500 HP Computers at different times.
6. He also distributed 700 school buses to secondary schools and 200 school buses to primary schools.
7. He donated 3M and 444M naira to Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches respectfully to rehabilitate their schools. Considering their needs at that time.
8. He gave 1M each to Anambra First Class Graduates in all Nigerian Universities. Before his tenure was over 160 Anambrans were beneficiaries.
9. In order to promote reading culture in the state, he erected and adequately equipped Prof. Kenneth Modern Library, Awka. He also rehabilitated the Divisional Library, Onitsha.
10. He gave 500 thousand naira to each secondary schools in the state to provide library materials and books to their library. This revolution tremendously boost the performance of students, as the state went from 26th position out of the 36 states in the federation to 1st position in the federation.
11. He gave one security vehicle to each of the 177 communities in Anambra. This in turn improved the security situation in Anambra tremendously.
12. He cleared pension and gratuity owed since 1991 by paying the beneficiaries a whooping sum of 37B.
13. He gave monthly #10k stipend to any Anambran above 80 years of age.
14. Built the first Secretariat Complex to house state government ministries that were scattered around the state.
15. His government attracted the second largest brewery in the world to Anambra.
16. He was recognized as the best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals in the implementation of their programmes in his state. He was awarded by Bill Gates.
17. He constructed two bridges across the popular agrolink in an Onocha Local Government Area of Anambra, a project that cost 2B naira.
18. Funded agrolink hotel project Golden Tower.
19. He reconstructed the popular interchange bridge axis of Enugu and Onitsha Express Way to 6 lanes.
20. Constructed 800kilometers of roads network between the rural and urban areas of the state. This includes:
Igbariam Internal Roads
Aguleri to Adani Enugu Road etc
21. He constructed 30 verifiable bridges and flyovers, such as Nkpor flyover, Obosi flyover which Julius Berger is using today as their bypass.

23. He built Nigeria Stock Exchange building in Onitsha.
24. He also created the Industrial Parks to act as catalyst for Industrialization.

28. Purchase 90 to 185 vehicles (buses and taxes) in two years for Anambra transportation.
29. Adopted the best practice in waste management disposal by providing over 300B worth of Waste Evacuation Trucks.
30. In 2015 Anambra was adjudged as the least indebted state in the federation by Debt Management Office. This was due to his judicious use of resources coming to the state and not put burden on the unborn Anambra people.
31. The only governor that planned for rainy day. He was able to save and handed over 75B to his successor. The only man that saw that there would be cash crutch in the future and planned for it.
32. The frugality, competence and credibility of Mr. Peter Obi cannot be overemphasized because he lives by what he preaches. Why other governors made EFCC or ICPC their home after tenure, he has been working around with his head held high. No single history of court case on graft or otherwise.
