PoliticsRe: Why Is It That Obi Supporters Don't Campaign With What He Did In Anambra? by Amumaigwe: 1:52pm On May 23
Counterigbolies:
Good morning all

I have noticed something about these our so called obidient brothers, they will always tell us what obi will do as president but they will never campaign with what he did when he had a smaller job.

The most annoying thing is that majority of all presidential aspirants have held one position or the other before aspiring to be president

Atiku was VP and he campaigned with what he did while in office which many people attest to.

Amaechi held several positions and he will always refer you to his achievement while in office

For Tinubu case, video evidences are there and we all can see how his so called opposition praised him then, despite dispute with obj then tinubu still had legacy projects we all can attest to today.

The question is that why is obi supporters always telling us what he will do when he gets there and not what he did when he held a smaller position?

It's annoying when you remind them that he was once a governor for 8 years and had woeful records that his people cursed him and even protested when he won second term.

When you remind them that he didn't do anything in 8 years in tiny Anambra, they start telling you about Alex otti, is Alex otti and obi the same thing?

Will Alex otti be the one ruling if obi becomes president?

Peter obi keeps talking about Bangladesh, Argentina and co, the question is did peter obi rule those countries?

Why not campaign with your own doings in office?
Read and cure your ignorance.

*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.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.

What have the kinsmen of Tinubu benefitted from his 3 years of presidency over other ethnic groups? What do they stand to gain if he runs another term aside from the bragging right of the president coming from their ethnic stock? Not ebery politician is a slave to power and money.

Willy2025:
Tinubu is really making an inroad and astounding progress towards capturing the South East. Looks like Imo and Enugu is a done deal. Soludo will provide the needed 40% in Anambra and Otti is also expected bring 40% too in Abia. Ebonyi is 100% APC. With this projection, is the Presidential election even necessary? INEC should extend Tinubu's mandate to 2031 to save Obi's wasting billions of Obidients money.
Is it not funny you are expecting the eastern governors to 'bring' certain percentage of voters for Tinubu rather than he, Tinubu marketing his achievements to enable him woo voters. How do you expect the governors to bring the votes unless through rigging which will be resisted.

the 2023 election was a religious contest and has noting to with Obi track record of performance
obi vote in the North ( Christians in the North where mandated in the North to vote for a Christian candidate ) and peter obi was the only Christian.
total is 2m
4m votes from his Ibo ethnic group ( ethnicity + religion ) 6m votes
100k came from end SAR crew .

In 2027, the battle for the Christian votes in the North will be between the baby Commander-in-chief who has supervised their massacre for over 3 years with no action and the man who they can trust with their security.

Then Kwankwaso has not agreed to be Obi's vice. Kwakwanso has been trying to be dominant even as they decamped together.

Video below of Kwankwaso forcefully dragging the cap away from Obi.

you meant that Kwankwaso has not agreed to deputize Obi and is already demonstrating it by practicing how to snatch it just like Tinubu did?

The difference is that while the primary involves a handful of greedy and selfish delegates needs to be bought with money before voting for a candidate, the general election involves the masses who desperately want their country to work.
PoliticsRe: Peter Obi Is Not Winning 2027 Election - He's Entertaining by Amumaigwe: 1:24pm On May 04
kayjordan:
Many think the more we talk about Peter Obi, the more popular he would get - and the better his chances of winning.


Frankly, this would not be referred to as politics but entertainment. Clowns are hired to entertain people in a circus. There are two benefits you get from a political race, a "political office" and "fame". Peter Obi is currently enjoying one benefit.


Let's get practical: you get a big advertising agency to market a launched product, but it doesn't guarantee the product would get more sales. What marketing does: it makes your product memorable in people's minds but it doesn't change people's loyalty to other products. Little wonder why flyers litter streets and people skip ads on social media.


Peter Obi has nothing to lose - he's got the love and affection of the people - even if he doesn't get the office, he's got the love of his small audience. Obedients have a lot to lose - they are the marketers, the advocates and the shame bearers.


The strategy of pillar-to-post is recommended but not in excess. A series of abandoned projects don't build a mission.


Politics is not when you show off your blings and chains but when you show your hardwork. If Bola Tinubu capitalized on showbiz, the APC would not be a manifestation today.


Popularity doesn't necessarily mean value - many celebrities ran for public offices and still lost. Bola Tinubu was valuable in his prime and his "value" earned him his popularity - and that same popularity earned him the Presidency.


People made Bola Tinubu popular by defaming him and he did nothing about it but yet all that, he still built a political party successfully and got a Presidential ticket on the same platform successfully.


Peter Obi's campaign is putting "popularity" before "value" hence, putting the cart before the horse.
