Regardless, Cut Peter Obi Some Slacks

Hashim Yussuf Amao, Ibadan

His victory, his loss—none would diminish him or strip him off his previous achievements. He is made, set indelible records, and etched his name in the historical folklore of Nigerian politics. In Peter Obi, many hopes are currently stashed. Supports that cut across tribes and religions. Groups among the Igbos, Afenifere among the Yorubas, Coalition of North East Elders for Peace and Development (CNEEPD) among the Northerners are attestation to the belief in a budding Nigerian 001 - if fate would beam a smile on him in the coming election, or ones to come.
 
In spite of disparaging political views, Obi has electrified Nigerian youths, gave them a new, reverberating voice. For his acclaimed honesty, he paid with impeachment as the then Anambra state governor. His sin: he wouldn't inflate the state budget and contracts. But he reclaimed his mandate, and posterity reinstated him on the governorship seat. Like other Nigerian politicians, he's not perfect; but across sectors, he has executed laudable projects at Anambra State.
 
Education wise, Anambra was 24th on the national log, he spurred the state's education to number 1. And just when other governors were leaving debts, Obi claimed he left $500m in Anambra coffers as investments. True or false, the courage to declare credit, when your ilks declare debits is worthy of applause. The Debt Management Organization (DMO) would later put a stamp of affirmation on him as "least corrupt". That EFCC has not taken axes after him till date, is another reason to commend him. If there really is a financial mess at his feet, this time wouldn't have been fair with him. Researches affirm his good works across many sectors, too.
 
Hundreds of thousands of Nigerian youths, who in the past, must pitch their political tents with either the ruling party or the second most influential party, suddenly rallied round the Anambra man and a party with far less influence, resources, and even structures. Reason: the increasing plights of Nigeria have become unbearable for them.
 
Being at the receiving end of daily and unending aspersions and yet growing wider audience, Obi has only grown abuse absorbers and remained focused on his goal: getting to the helm of Nigeria affairs. A perfect human or politician exists nowhere in the world, and a fractional part of Nigerians may continue to take cutting tongues after Obi, Pandora's papers might have bared his feet of clay, he may be tagged "word-slurrer", "a joker without structure or huge resources", but for being a hope to many Nigerians and youths across tribes and religions, for igniting the political interest of many Nigerians who in the past would rather sleep at home on election days than vote, Peter Obi deserves some accolades. Regardless of differences in political views and affiliations, cut Peter Obi some slacks.

You are a patriot

You wrote well

Win or lose obi has perfected better than everyone initial expectations of him

Just like when he declared he would buy fidelity bank the branch manager laughed he bought it

Promised to turn a local bank fidelity bank to a big national Bank no one believed he did it

To when he was told to shout up on PDP party meeting by Chris uba he told them he would unsit PDP in Anambra ...when he joined APGA a then 3 months old party told people he would win Anambra governorship ...no body took him serious
Slowly he won over majority of Anambranians and won

When he was excluded from election he said he would reclaim his mandate changing the political landscape till today reason some governoship election hold at different dates ...that's thanks to obi

Obi has never followed the normal part ,he is underated at first always but he ends up taking those who oppose him by storm

Obi is a man

Obi is a well packaged fraud.

He is what Nigeria need right now, He will cut down cost of governance and reduce debt. He has proven he has the capacity. We should not allow those with structure of criminality to win otherwise they will finish the country finally

Urchin stop crying.

You referenced DMO but DMO said he’s owing 3 billion Naira debt before he left office .

Also about not being axed by EFCC , there are many bad people that are not punished in this world especially if they know how to wash the money through offshore banks.

OBI Bu ODOGWU.

The Rock!!

My brother, Obi is a big motivation to some of us who have given up in this country called Nigeria. I didn't vote in 2019 because I saw no motivation in voting same criminals speaking grammar and doing the opposite.

I felt 2023 will present same scenario of two criminals and fading my hope of queueing up to vote until this man came up. Win or lose, I have promised to make sure my vote counts.

The only 5hing that will make obi not to win is tribalism, he is pole ahead of other contestants. I can't wait to see what he can do in the national level but the man go work ooh.

Obi has gingered the 2023 race, less voters' apathy. Many who hitherto don't bother with voting, are eagerly awaiting the date to vote

The INCOMING

What’s the big deal about it?
Everyone have one or two success story to tell,..
Atiku has some, and Tinubu has many far more then obi,.. even I have a lot too,..
No superman was born but they are made...
Tinubu fought with force of nature and won,..
as for me and my large families Tinubu has our vote...
We choose competency, Advanced development, initiative, innovation and idea driven person...

No one gave an f about labor party until 8 months ago

Obi is a beacon of hope to anyone who will believe like wizkid can rise from the mud to aso rock.

Fair enough

ElSudani:
Obi is a well packaged fraud.

Is Obi the one with identity, academic, ancestral and drugs related issues?

Obi has never been invited by any anti corruption agency home or abroad.

You yellow Bars are just very idiotic.

The masses have been taken for a ride for too long by those thieving old structures. They are wiser now.

Obi we know.....

Obi we want ....

Obi is better....

ObiDatti to the rescue.....
