Anambra Under Peter Obi 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, he left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign.

BATified2023:

So tinubu will leave his records n achievements as governor n start talking about buhari

Name 5 things Peter obi did better than tinubu as governor?

Nigerian netizens have reacted to a picture of Abdullahi Adamu, the APC national chairman dragging Tinubu along in a rather disrespectful manner.

Internet users have reacted differently to the picture, each having a different comment to make.

For instance, the picture generated mostly negative reactions aggregated by the number of displeased submissions reading into thousands when it was shared on the microblogging platform, Twitter.

@moroccodanny22 said;

"What do these people take Southerners for? Spits."

Another user @Johnthevawulence tweeted;

"If Tinubu had respected himself, these people would have had high regards for him. Buh emilokan has rubished himself."

Asking whether he was being aided to walk, @Bunmilover commented;

"Hmmm. I don't think this is disrespect. What if he was being helped to walk?"


More reactions are still being received, and some are even political.

A user @Segunmoney77 tweeted;
"Zombidients and lies. This picture is probably photoshopped! Look at the cap"


Reacting, another user @Uchemmaduajoka had queried if Okorocha, a relatively disliked Southern politician can be treated this way;

"Not even Okorocha can be treated this way, don't you think?"

As at the time of this report, the picture has generated over 2300 retweets and 5240 comments.

Political hitmen, also known as unknown gun men have proven to be a terror to the lives of Nigerian citizens. Their activities in Southern Nigeria, especially the Southeast, where seems to be their more prominent stronghold, are well reported.

Some Nigerians, in view of the upcoming presidential election, keep on expressing true concern about the future fate of the country especially in the area of security should any of the presidential hopefuls win the election, considering that they would take over as the chief commander of the armed forces.

For instance, the presidential candidate of Labour Party His Excellency Peter Obi, and a former governor of Anambra state has been queried concerning his stand on the raging anarchists in the Southeast who perhaps, appear to be an undeniable threat to the security of lives and property.

Rightly so, he somehow is in a good position to be subjected to these ballistic questions. One, he was a governor of South-eastern Anambra state; two, he is a top contender from the Southeast whose candidacy the social media spaces have been going gaga over.

More daring than the first group of true, concerned 'queryers' is another class of persons who are plausibly and roughly made up of mischief makers, tribal allegiants and maybe, sincere Nigerians too.

This class, whether it rightly owes to mischief or patriotism goes two possible ways in weathering the force of Mr. Obi's candidacy in order to actualise whatever result they intend to achieve: overboard and deep, steep low.

Since Obi came on board the race on the platform of the semi-unknown Labour Party, attempts have been made to identify him with IPOB, an abbreviation for Indigenous People Of Biafra. How this could be a good demarketing strategy hinges on the sometime violent activities of IPOB and its proscription.

However, as ridiculous as it sounds that a former governor who has not made any utterance or been involved in any activity to suggest his allegiance to the IPOB group, some persons are read—ferociously ready—to drive this narrative until it becomes believable.

Imagine this; in a country which is not only a sovereign republic, not only headed by a democratically-elected Commander-in-Chief, a country whose component states are not only headed by elected representatives but are also constitutionally vested the power over matters of security in stipulated proportions.

How then does it make sense that an ex-executive like Mr. Obi is expected to interfere in these matters without a constitutional backing? Has democratic governance become so petty that a past governor wakes up to shout out orders to his successor just to prove a point? What does interference mean to this class?

If these questions can be answered rationally, one soon realizes that it is baseless to expect something of such seriousness from Obi, who most Nigerians in turn expect to not heed this frivolous cajoling knowing how serious it is.

But what if Obi finally shouts out order to the political authorities of Nigeria concerning the tensions caused by some unknown gun men, will he end up pleasing all?

Felimax:
Atiku will win the South twice before anybody. Go and write it down.

iSense247:
The similar thread for Atiku has been on the front page of politics section for about 72 hours.

Watch how this thread that is for Obi will disappear from front page of politics section within one hour.

I don't want to say Nairaland is biased against Peter Obi because I don't want to be banned till 2023.

mbaboy:
Nigerians in diaspora dont vote , while Obi is talking to people who will not vote in 2023 , Alhaji Atiku is making serious waves by uniting the north to support his candidacy

PresidObi:
Atiku spent 4 years in Dubai without visiting or talking about Nigeria.

He is now coming to holiday in Nigeria, he will leave after the elections back to his base.

We don't want any absentee candidates again.

Felimax:
Go and sit down!
Atiku is far ahead of the rest of them as far as the subject matter is concerned.
