madridguy:
Peter is the most desperate politician in Nigeria today. A man with no direction, no principle, just going around " Ajara Jara Joro " in Baba Fela's lyrics.

He visited every just for eye service and cheap political gains. The same people Obi and his followers called many names.

If Obi likes, let him go and greet Kanu inside DSS custody, travel to Finland to see Simon Ekpa, still lobby Gentle The Yahoo, and go and greet bandit kingpin, Ado Alero, he will surely labour in vain.

Kastonkastroll:
Don't worry he will explain himself better in court. Calling a president a criminal is like calling all Nigerians criminals. So make sowore bring his implicating evidence that will proof that Tinubu is a criminal in court!

Kastonkastroll:
NO oga sowore you are wrong on this. The DSS of recent have been very proactive. Most of the successes the military are recording by annihilating bandits and terrorists have the DSS prints on it.


Those guys are trying these days and thats a visible fact!

LegendHero:
In 1960, when Nigeria won its independence, it became at birth the world's most populous black state and Africa's biggest question mark.

Held together in uneasy federation, the country numbered some 250 tribes and languages, three principal religions (Moslem. Christian, animist), and three big, traditionally hostile regions:

—the feudal, Moslem North, which claims half the entire population of Nigeria;

—the East, dominated by the astute, industrious Ibo tribes; and

—the West, richest and most advanced of all three, whose Yoruba tribesmen are Nigeria's most sophisticated citizens.

As big as Texas and Oklahoma combined, with some 45 million inhabitants-give or take 10 million-Nigeria seemed less a nation than a concatenation, a haphazard creation of British colonists who ruled it for 60 years and dubbed it the "white man's grave."

Softmirror:
The have all come out to say the contrary to their former assertion, dispelling them. But not Kanu.

blaise26abj:
Look at what the obidient said. Politics no be by strong head o . It is all about the numbers . If Jonathan has better chances , Obi should step down . Which one is he is an elder statesman . This desperation by Obi is the first reason his support with non-easterners is dwindling . Obidients are a not so distant second .

EponObi:
These people can't be serious. Everyone should bury their ambition for your incompetent principal, abi?

Now, they are setting up GEJ for drags and bullying.

Lmaoooo. Amateurs.

The two of you are discussing strategies on a united front in 2027 but you on the other hand is saying in the public that the other side should bury their ambition. 😂😂😂 You are already burning the bridge before the construction even started. It's unbelievable this guy was a two term governor. Na soso political blunders everyday.

You ran away from PDP to LP for automatic ticket.

You ran from contesting the ADC ticket against Atiku. Una say "It him or nothing"

Discussion with GEJ never take off, una say "step down for him"

What a unique way to say he has no gut, tact, or grit. But you want him to become president. Jokers.

Kuku tell INEC not to conduct any election and just declare him the president because he's the only Nigerian alive that can recuse the country from imaginary bondage.

Gentledove2001:
So you people are now begging Jonathan not to contest? Politics no be for noise-makers. I can't wait when una go begging insult him as usual. Physical or online bully doesn't get you votes, but strategy does.

Maxymilliano:
Sowore is right.

If former president Jonathan can be called a goat and Kindagarten president, Tinubu can as well be called a Criminal

helinues:
Fight for a better Nigeria by always being rude and arrogant.. Hahaha

Why you no follow his footsteps now

OLADD:
Why not the other way round? You guys are too full of yourselves and unrepentantly arrogant.

Obi's candidacy in 2027 is the biggest panacea for Tinubu's victory, just the way it happened in 2023.

Goodvibes007:
Oga go and rest somewhere. Your SE royal father's have told you to stop the madness.

The one that calls himself kabiyesi of Awka (Alhaji Abdul Olahan “Ezechinedu) or whatever, that is even if it exist as propaganda don wound una, is not recognized here in the SW.

You dont make yourself royal in another man's land.
The sarkin hausa/arewa are rotational post like Ohaneze ndigbo.

Does peter Obi have his own people,.. his fan base is dominated by those aggrieved Jonathan Exist

Peter Obi shouldnt decieve himself, maybe in the East buh across the 3 other regions Jonathan wil beat Obi hands down

Sentiments and opinions apart, By records and assessment jonathan administration benefited the masses compared to what Anambra got from OBI

Ttalk:
Nice one, either Tinubu or Jonathan is fine. The haters will continue to do what they have been doing without result.

It will mark the total end of someone who doesn't want to contest in party primary


SQ go vote Jonathan enmasse, we have taught him bitter lesson not to underate SW ad and he has learnt his lesson.

Hear this SW will at least do 12 years Obj+Tinubu so SW has nothing to lose and they are playing the politics from the point of strength, what is now the fate of SE

Kobojunkie:
He cancelled the marriage because he could not get his own sister into the woman's bridal train? 😏

Anyways, red flag na red flag! They both dodged a bullet there and should count themselves lucky.

Women, please stop marrying controlling men. Your worth to these types of men comes down to whether they can control you or not. And the end is never good as your beings are reduced to near nothing by all of that control. Go ask your mothers and grandmothers for details on that.

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

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to seek the interpretation of tenures of Governors when INEC allowed elections to take place in Anambra State when his tenure had not expired; the election already concluded was cancelled and he was allowed to complete his tenure.

*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.

*He was among the first Governors to be honoured with a National Award in 2011, while still in office.

*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.

Obidients creating yet another strong adversary for themselves. The same way they created Reno.

How they can't understand everyone can't accept their ideals is shocking. How they think they're always right and everyone else wrong is repulsive. Just as Kanu supporters, so are Obidients. It is either their way or no way. There's no room for dissent. One way traffic!!

It's such a pity.
