The only places he will see encouraging vote is the SW and it will be because of tribe support .... Obi will cut his Southern vote into two , we will see if Wike can deliver rivers , but you see from North Central to North East Northing for him

Peter Obi's support has plummeted drastically since 2023. Many of those who voted for him in 2023 are discouraged by his loss and won't bother to vote again in January especially as they see no pathway to victory for him. You may not accept this bitter reality though, until it is too late.

Who has the video of that prophetess who said that she saw Verydarkman becoming President of Nigeria some day? Like play, like play o.

Was he using his personal money or government money? Peter Obi is a thief o. One cow everyday for what na? Was there a feast or sacrifice happening daily inside government house that Anambra people didn't know about?

It is still a bus terminal no matter how it is designed. Anambra is about to have a second airport and Abians are still celebrating bus terminal. Village people

The worst part is that most houses in Enugu don't even have water. Residents have to buy water from tankers every 3 days.

BATified2023:
Governor dey lead tinubu campaign but content creators dey lead obi campaign


Oya now

I have laughed so hard with the numerous videos of Peter Obi doing content creation on Facebook and Tiktok.

Enugu state has the largest land area in the south east so that is the ideal place for Fulani ranching, besides Fulani have always considered Enugu as their home having the first mayor of Enugu town. As long as they don't bring that rubbish to Anambra, they can have as much land in Enugu for their occupation.

OreMI22:
You know I respect you a great deal, and my intention is not to engage in propaganda, hearsay, or partisan arguments. As you may know, I live in America, but I have a deep and genuine desire to see Igboland develop and realise its full economic potential. I have therefore followed the manifestos of the various Southeast governors closely and paid close attention to both the projects they have implemented and the areas where their actions have departed from their original promises.

I also support many of Governor Soludo’s projects aimed at giving Anambra a major facelift, particularly his ambitious effort to modernise Onitsha Main Market and restore it as one of West Africa’s premier commercial and shopping destinations. It is a bold and difficult undertaking, and I commend him for having the courage to pursue it despite the inevitable resistance and short-term disruption that such a transformation can create.

The reality is that the Southeast cannot afford to approach development casually. Other regions may be able to spend substantial sums on projects or programmes that do not directly create economic value because they have greater access to Nigeria’s natural-resource revenues and federal allocation. The Southeast does not have that luxury. For us, every major expenditure must be viewed through the lens of wealth creation, productivity, competitiveness and long-term economic sustainability. If we do not deliberately invest in infrastructure and industries that generate wealth, employment and internally generated revenue, we risk falling far behind.

This is why I believe Southeast states must think beyond individual state projects and begin developing regional solutions, particularly an integrated railway network, modern transport and logistics infrastructure, reliable electricity grid powered by new powerstations in various states, and an internationally competitive aviation system. The region also needs to think seriously about establishing a strong regional airline capable of connecting its airports to major domestic and international hubs, rather than simply building airport infrastructure and assuming that international airlines will automatically come. Which never happens because no single state can muster the critical mass of steady international passenger traffic required to attract international airlines. These investments should ultimately support the region's enormous commercial base and strengthen its integration with global markets.

Again, my objective is not to promote one governor over another or to manufacture propaganda for political purposes. I am proud of Hope Uzodinma's recent exploits in Imo building digital hubs, Imo State’s industrialisation strategy, and its Assa North–Ohaji South (ANOH) Gas Development Project etc, even if he is an APC governor. I also expected Soludo to implement what he wrote on page 22 of the “Soludo Manifesto – The People’s Manifesto” PDF on Soludo’s website. https://www.chukwumasoludo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/SOLUDO-MANIFESTO.pdf

I am genuinely interested in supporting any policy or project that clearly moves Anambra and the Southeast in the right direction, regardless of which governor initiates it. Conversely, I will strongly oppose projects that appear driven primarily by political ego, prestige or short-term visibility when the same resources could be invested in infrastructure and industries with a clearer and more immediate economic return. The question I believe we should constantly ask is simple: will this investment make our people more productive, attract businesses, create jobs, increase trade and generate sustainable wealth? If the answer is yes, we should support it; if not, we should have the courage to question it.

You are always typing nonsense noisemaker. Can we see your own physical investment in Anambra state? Even an illiterate trader in Onitsha or Nnewi who makes the effort to change the skyline of any one of the cities or towns in Anambra state with an economic impact project like a hotel or a factory is far more useful than you. They are also building roads in their towns all in obidience to Governor Soludo's call to invest in the state. Governor Soludo won his re-election 21/21, that should tell you that you are an insignificant minority in the state's narrative.

Senator Umeh cannot mention anything that he has attracted to Anambra central from the federal government despite occupying that seat for nearly 4 years. All he does is to wear his long red cap and be talking of releasing a dangerous terrorist like Nnamdi Kanu from prison back into society.

Worryingly:
The type of politics we play in Nigeria makes my stomach turn. This is an Accord Party governor openly endorsing Tinubu of the APC. Doesn't matter if Accord has a candidate or not.

Of course its probably less about genuine political alignment and more about staying in the good books of the president so that the federal government does not frustrate him or his government. But that, in itself, is an indictment of the weakness of our democratic institutions.

When a governor knows that the federal government can deliberately frustrate his state simply because he refuses to align politically with the president, the rational response becomes to align. The result is a political system where independence is punished and loyalty is rewarded, regardless of party affiliation or principle.

Compare this with the United States, where a state governor can openly tell President Trump to “Bleep off” and still govern because there are strong, independent institutions capable of protecting the constitutional powers of the state. The president cannot simply weaponize the machinery of the federal government to punish a governor for political disagreement.

That is the real problem. Our institutional architecture creates powerful incentives for political dependence. Until those institutions become strong enough to protect elected officials from political retaliation, politicians will continue to prioritise alignment with whoever controls the centre over the interests of the people they were elected to serve.

You are ignorant. In America, it is the counties that organize elections, not even the states or feds, so governors know there will be no consequences if they abuse the president. If the federal government were in charge of conducting elections in America, no governor would dare speak out against a character like Trump unless he/she has decided to damn the consequences because Trump believes in retribution and illegalities.

Nobody defended any votes. Accord was writing results to inflate their figures, same as APC. Adeleke managed to crawl through due to incumbency powers.

Not bold but high. Drugs are still in his system. But nothing a dirty slap won't shake off.

Not the coach's fault. The girls are now loaded with cash and are doing big babes on the pitch just like the male Super Chickens.

Very commendable from ACTDA. Anambra government must not allow illegal structures to continue distorting the look of our towns and cities.

Hausa/Fulani people have taken abode under flyovers and overhead bridges especially in the south of the country. Such lawlessness must be curtailed. The Koka flyover in Asaba is one example, it seems like the Delta state government abandoned that place to them.

Did they count all 44 LGAs and called them Kano city? We know the Hausa/Fulani north are used to manipulating population figures for political advantage.

Dickson extorted them especially those from the south east and they are thanking him for it.

But freedom of speech is guaranteed in the constitution. And the Hisbah police is not even constitutional.

What happened to praying for our leaders? That Catholic bishop is a bitter man.

Streetinvestor2:
If obi does not win let Atiku win
It is still OK
The drug baron is the only one that is never an option in 2027

Peter Obi will never be President. That's what matters.

Propaganda. The bus drivers there are complaining that the taxes in that place are too much for them to make any meaningful profit from their business.

Celebrating motor park when Anambra is about to have a second airport.

Cjrane2:
Beyond road construction, Governor Alex Otti continues to invest in strategic infrastructure projects aimed at transforming Abia State's economy and improving public services.

Following the completion of the Prof. Nnenna Oti Bus Terminal in Umuahia, work has commenced on a larger, world-class bus terminal in Aba. The administration is also pursuing the development of a seaport at Obuaku to facilitate the import and export of goods, enhance trade, and support businesses operating in Abia State.

Yet, Abia receives lower federal allocation than Anambra. Official FAAC allocation records for the first half of 2026 show that both Anambra and Imo received higher allocations than Abia.

The real difference in Abia's performance lies not only in the amount of revenue available but in how those resources are managed. Effective leadership, prudent financial management, and a strong commitment to transparency and accountability are essential for translating public funds into visible development projects.

I particularly feel disappointed in Soludo because I massively campaigned for him believing that he was a prudent person. So if he stubbornly wastes Anambra's resources in building 1 or 2 abandoned "airports", he should remember that after 17 March 2030, our people will use the Freedom of Information Act to demand for how much was wasted on those smokescreen projects used for looting.

The era when people stubbornly looted state resources and called it "by-gones" when they left office is over. If Soludo prefers to build 2 or even 3 more mushroom airstrips instead of helping Anambra to develop industrially and create good-paying jobs through building railway line to connect Onitsha, Awka, Nnewi, Ekwulobia and Aguleri, or building gas-power plants and refineries he should go ahead.

We shall also do what must be done to enthrone good and transparent leaders who treat the state's money the way they wouldn't waste their own personal money. Our Governors no longer view impeachment as an impossible outcome because we have instances where it happened in Nigeria. Similarly, that example of ensuring a former Southeast governor goes to jail for corruption and misappropriated public funds is a critical example for our democratic journey, that must happen for our people to also learn that a breach of trust in misappropriating public money entrusted unto them is indeed a punishable crime.

The new airport is a done deal, I assure you. Work on the site will resume in earnest immediately the dry season sets in. Your wailing ends with you or at best, here on nairaland.

The mods should move this eye opener to front page.

I hope Obidients are paying attention. Their favourite governor agrees with President Tinubu's economic reforms. When we say that Peter Obi is empty and clueless, they think we are playing politics.

Just because Rhodes-Vivour chose to remain in ADC instead of exhibiting shameless desperation like Obi, Peter Obi in his usual politics of bitterness has shunned his former ally and Lagos governorship aspirant Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour who recently lost his mother, rather choosing to visit Isaac Fayose who threatened to pull political support for him.

Peter Obi is so petty in his attitude that you begin to understand why he failed woefully as Anambra governor. Anambra is where he started his bigotry pitching Catholics and Anglicans against each other. Same way he wanted to pitch Christians and Muslims against each other in 2023.

Now even condolence visits, he plays politics with. How lower can he go?

Where are his wife and children to celebrate the birthday with him?

Cowards are lions behind the phone till they are caught and we see them as they really are.

You didn't see Peter Obi when he did the same thing in Anambra, abi?

Though Trump is right that Christians are being persecuted especially in the middle belt states but that is not why he withdrew aid. He doesn't like black Africans very much.

Kenneth Okonkwo has alleged that Peter Obi is sabotaging Igbo presidency.
