Obi wins political icon award, LP Reps leader, Afam Ogene, calls him game changer



Leader of the Labour Party (LP) Caucus in the House of Representatives, Hon. Afam Victor Ogene, has hailed Mr. Peter Obi, the National leader of the Labour Party, as "An authentic game-changer", as he wins The Sun Political Icon Award.

Hon. Ogene, Chairman, House Committee on Renewable Energy, made this assertion in a statement in Awka, on Saturday, February 17, 2024, to congratulate Obi, for the recognition by The Sun Newspapers.

Obi, former governor of Anambra state, who was also a Vice Presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), in 2019, took the nation by storm, when he joined LP before the 2023 general elections and instantly became a household name, leading a political movement, as a presidential candidate, that has changed the political landscape of Nigeria.

Through his leadership, LP won the governorship election in Abia state, 35 House of Representatives seats, eight Senate seats and a number of House of Assembly seats.

In a statement entitled, "A Deserved Honour For An Authentic Game Changer", Ogene wrote, " I, on behalf of my family, teeming members of our various support groups and the good people of Ogbaru Federal Constituency, Anambra state, who I represent in the House of Representatives, felicitate our dear Leader and mentor, the great Okwute Nigeria, Mr. Peter Obi, National Leader of the Labour Party, for this well-deserved recognition as The Sun Political Icon awardee, today."

He said further:"It is very symbolic as well as historical, that this award is coming on the eve of the anniversary of the February 2023 general elections, where God used you, as an undeniable game-changer to rewrite the narrative in Nigerian politics, and significantly chart the path for a new Nigeria that gives hope and succour to the people."

Referencing issues in the 2023 campaign season and the current realities in the nation, Hon. Ogene said, "When you advocated an economic policy of prudence, many mocked you as a 'stingy man'. When you preached the gospel of 'From consumption to production' as an economic recovery and revitalisation pathway, a cacophony of partisan inanities focused only on the tiny voice of the messenger and ignored the message. But today, cruel pangs of hunger on the streets, arising from the alarming economic situation and depressing living conditions of the people - which have, ironically, united the citizenry - are now insistently reinforcing your foresighted economic messages, to the chagrin of naysayers.

"As you are celebrated once again today, we wish to remind you, Mr. Authentic, that Nigeria, more than ever before, needs your prudent and patriotic services.

"We commend the management and staff of The Sun newspapers, for their sound judgement in making this decision.Congratulations, Leader!

We don't see you on threads of Tinubu's foolish anti-people's policies.... But once it comes to Peter Obi and Obidients, your preeq go rise like pounds against the Naira.

He truly took the nation by storm. But the religious and tribal card he played to win the presidential election showed he is no different from the opposition parties.

Religious card is when You push for muslim-muslim agenda at a time when terrorist pushing for an Islamic State are brainwashing people that Allah has given them Nigeria to conquer.
Do You have a clue how many people Boko Haram and Isis recruite everyday with the mindset to islamize a secular State like Nigeria?

Muslim-muslim agenda is bad for anyone who is not a Muslim,it is moreso bad for anyone who is a Muslim but doesn't push for Jihad which means to KILL,BEND AND BREAK for Allah.
If You are a Muslim if you don't want to kill others for Allah,God forbid this terrorist catch You, your own don be.

Religious card is when You produce muslim-muslim agenda to break an existing arrangement since 1999 to fit our diversity.
Tribal card is when You gather boys,give them cutlass,axes instead of PVC to threaten people not to exercise their rights to vote in a Country You proclaim One Nigeria.

Sorry for Country wey get your illiterate,or worse still half educated minded people plenty,that Country is doomed for disgrace and mockery.

He can win every other thing.

The Best of the Best is winning the presidency, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu has won that one.

Chikena!

My president …hearts filled with hatred for successful people go great lengths to point out 2% wrong out of 98% Obi did right but can never point to one single right thing or achievement of tinubu before and after he rigged the elections.. just plain envy and jealousy because they imagine in their narrow minds Obi wants to take the glory as the man that put Nigeria on world map

Obi gave them the heat of their lives. Till now they are yet to recover from the shock and then came along ebi npiawa azu to complete their torment.

I don't have time for rhetorical questions
We all know the theory
Everyone knows the solution to Nigeria's problems theoretically. Maybe you should ask yourself why every successive administration seems to be worse than the previous, and that will perhaps to an extent bring a reality check to your insane belief that your Messiah could have done better

Man I am sure every sensible Human being will definitely hate to be around You in Real Life.
How do You feel when you shy away from discuss that charges coherent reasoning??
From Obj to Yaradua to Jona Nija had problems but there was still hope to get it right hence the suffering and smiling mantra prevail,what You have under Apc is maximum HOPELESSNESS bcus that group never had intentions of doing good for Nija when they gathered. The only focus was to take that sit from pdp.

I don't see Obi as an angel,Yes He has to roll in the tides of our dirty politics but truth be told His doings seem negative of our regular politiftians doings.

BTW under Obi Anambra was the safest State in Nigeria even with the presence of a secessionist movement, which in turn means Obi did well to provide quality governance for Anambra.

This is what sensible Human beings know,not all this una social media jamboree and jabbawakky.

Everyone is not a criminal minded dunderhead like you.

Paid and arrangee award

Peter Obi is the game changer

The sun - eboe owned newspaper
