2015: Nigeria does not need 72-year-old grandfather like Buhari as President – Peter Obi

Published on January 4, 2015By Ameh Comrade Godwin



The immediate past governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has likened the possibility of APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari ruling Nigeria to passing a pregnant camel through the eye of a needle.


The Okute Ndigbo, who doubles as Deputy Director General (South), comprising the South West, South East and South South of the presidential campaign organisation of President Goodluck Jonathan, said Nigeria did not need a 72-year-old grand-father like Buhari as a president, noting that the former leader was being deceived by governor Rotimi Amaechi and some ‘blind politicians’ within the APC.

He said, “In a world where a life-changing protest for democratic change, demanding for free and fair democracy without Chinese interference, was led by a 17-year-old boy in Hong Kong, APC is threatening to inflict a 72-year-old grandfather on Nigeria as president. Do you realise that the major companies of the world like doogle (1998), Yahoo (1994), Ebay (1995), Facebook (2004) and Alibaba (1999), were all founded by people under 40 years of age. Most of the captains of industry in Nigeria today are led by men and women who were in not yet in primary school 31 years ago, when Buhari’s was Head of State”.


Obi in an interview with Vanguard said that Buhari did not have to wait until he becomes a leader before he save the country from the ‘bullets’ of the Boko Haram sect.

According to him, “Gen. Buhari, as a respected, retired general and as an elder statesman, does not need an invitation, an appointment or an elective office to intervene on any national issue, especially issues of national security like the one facing the country at the moment. Elder statesmen all over the world do not wait to be invited before they step forward on matters of grave concern to their fatherland”.

He warned us in 2015, but sentiment and tribe no allow us see road

We are about to vote, yet, again, with all evidences, another incompetent and unfit candidate into office, in 2023

Apga Judas, no honor amongst the fantastically corrupt.

A very cunning hypocrite, how old was Atiku in 2019, when he contested with Alhaji?

Nigeria's Retirement age is 65yrs & you want to become president at 75yrs of age. Is Aso Rock a retirement home? -Peter Obi

God bless you!

Much expected of him as a PDP member!

It’s PDP trait to always use age, religion or ethnicity to campaign!

Like someone said on forum, Ashawo wey change location, na still Ashawo”

Peter should know he dined and whined with the destructive party that governed Nigeria!

Trying to claim that he is a saint, would not fly! Nigerians remember vividly!

How he supported and became a vice to Atiku, who happens to be the most corrupt vice president on Earth

And the man has been vindicated.
Some urchins are here again trying to vote in a man of 89yrs as president.
We keep on doing the same thing over and over again why waiting for different outcome, if that not insanity?

Don’t mind the ipobians turned Obidients deceiving their selfish selves, Aso Rock is not the office & home of the President of Biafra.

Just for clarity, How old was Jonathan Goodluck when you voted for him 67 or 71 years of age?

All those warnings were disregarded. Today the reality has dawned on all.

Sure Racoon, classic example of an Ipobian turned Obidient, it is because of Federal Government your state government could not provide for you?

Confused Almijiri, can you mention 1 commodity that your state government exported for foreign exchange to help you?

Just we don't need ancestors like Tinubu and Athiefnuku in 2023. Vote for ObiDatti for a better future.

Below is a newspaper report of how Tinubu celebrated his 69 years old birthday in 2012 that means that he would be clocking at least 80 years old in 2023. We don't such an ancestor for our President, God forbid Bat thing.

Is this supposed to be a question or what.
If you don't know the age of Jonathan as your president then, google is there to guide you.

ungrateful ward Kee you there

But he(Obi) later decided to be a running mate to 72 year old Atiku in 2019.. Politicians are just something else in Naija, very good at saying Yes and No at the same time.
