Because he gives them bogus figures in statistics and basic front line economic analysis which they can comprehend and they think it's actually true.
When he uses other countries as examples without factoring the indexes and strength to establish such acts.

He really achieved a lot during his tenure as a governor of Anambra State but in a education, security and infrastructure without borrowing any Kobo or owing contractos, workers salary and pension instead he left cash and investment for the state that is why when almost all the governors including Lagos State could not pay salaries and requested for bailout from federal government to be able to pay salaries Anambra did not. Most importantly he is not corrupt,This is someone who has been chairman of three banks, two terms governor,once economy advisor to the president, once chairman security and exchange commission yet there is no allegation of corruption.

to rule a great nation like Nigeria you need Good leadership and strong political strength. It's good your a non tribalist Nigerian who wants the betterment of this country. It's normal not to trust any popular politicians. But truth is asiwaju stands out amongst them all. No nigeria president ever wants anything bad to happen to his country but certain unavoidable factors makes them fail. Compromise, poor subordinates, bad ministers, communal influence and political factors. All these are the major challenges affecting every govt.
Let me tell you the strength of Asiwaju and how he can defeat such.
1, Asiwaju works with Genius in all forms. Checkout asiwaju loyalist and go through their track records in every sector they hold. Oshiomole, Osibanjo, fashola, elrufai, akpabio, smart adeyemi, check their political track record and you'll understand their level of credibility.

2, Asiwaju is relentless : when asiwaju sets a goal, he's the hardest nut to crack to succumb to compromise. He fights to the very end. Political cabals can't control him, he raises his own team in every circumstances.

3, Asiwaju is a political genius: If there's someone who can bypass a compromised senate without much compromise, Asiwaju is the man.

4, power and respect drives asiwaju: what better ways can he achieve this feet if not by getting the support of the masses?

5, He keeps to his promise: unlike others, Asiwaju always keeps to his word, it's what gives him the massive respect he earns today.

During his time as governor of Anambra state.. He was one of the best performing governors in the whole of southern nigeria if not the whole country. The state witnessed a lot a investment both from outside and within the country due to the level of peace n security also left the state debt free.He's not a saint but the best among d front runners.

I'm sure jonathan was healthier than yaradua but we both know who did better. Capacity is a big factor not Age. Ortom and elrufai are age mate one is outstanding in development while the other is terrible. Im sure Ganduje is much older than Okowa but we both know Okowa disastrous performance might cost his state the gubernatorial election . I rather focus on capacity than age. A man in wheel chair who commands the whole village is far better than the strongest man in the village. The wisest man is always the king while the strongest man is the general. Still under the king.
There's a reason why the world respects solomon ahead of Samson.

A good market sells itself. People knew him before and after being governor so they trust him. Peter Obi has talked a lot to journalists so If you listen to some of his numerous interviews on YouTube and elsewhere, you'll hear from the horse's mouth.

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

*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.

*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.

Tolams16:
Please don't get me wrong. I am not an APC, PDP, OR LP supporter I am just a regular Nigerian, who is unbiased, untribalistic and will support anyone or anything that is for the betterment of this nation. I keep hearing everyone shouting that we should vote Peter Obi. Please what are his achievements, or what is his track record. What makes him different from Tinubu and Atiku. Me I believe all politicians are the same, so Pls what makes peter obi different? And what has he done ? Please no insults, I just want to know his achievements or what he has done or shown that is making the youths to clamour for him.
Thank you.

@ops you sure say you been de this Naija so? Cause from ur write up you seems not to be aware of the happenings.. PO is not innocent but he's the lesser evil among the rest. This is someone who has been chairman of three banks, two term governor,
he was one of the best performing governors, once economy advisor to the president, once chairman security and exchange commission yet there is no allegation of corruption.

So therefore, a vote for PO is a vote for a better Nigeria.
VOTE WISELY.
