More like, I and my family will support Tinubu's reelection because Wike has been giving us money and contracts, that's right



I don't expect those being bribed and bought by Bola Tinubu's state-sponsored agents to come out and condemn Tinubu's failed administration, it is normal for people to protect their pot of soup even if the soup was prepared with a stolen community fund

don't worry by 2027 u will understand better.

Shebi Una still get 6 million votes?

Oya now

Amumaigwe:
Is that all the "damaging" information you can come
up with to demarket Obi? Not even one allegation of corruption? Very poor show

name one allegation of corruption against tinubu?

Jostoman:
So who are those criminal you are referring to?

were atiku, Amaechi, el rufai, malami n co not the structure of criminality obi wanted to destroy in d last election?

Disenfranchised:
No be person Wey Don chop dey insure life and property.


Cluelessness at its peak

nobody takes haters serious

Hope u can now see Mandela stepped down at the age of 80 n not 76 like u said n it was basically cos of his age n health

Kukutente23:
You were of age in 2007 but a kid in 2019 when OBJ supported Atiku right

in 2019, how many leading aspirant do we have?

If u put on your thinking cap u will understand that he faces 2 of his arch enemies so he had to pick one he feels he can move with.

Tinubu in Buhari camp will always scare him cos he won't have any say but obi in atiku camp is still a leverage for him.

Justnation:
They are too small, they are too small, the voice of a toddler under the skirt of his mother

Tell me, why are you people in panic mode, and loosing sleep over PETER OBI?

Whenever OBI sneezes you people catch cold and begin to vomit.

For your information PETER OBI flogged tinubu mercilessly in Lagos in 2023,

LP would have won Lagos if not the actions of tugs, area boys, and the oro declaration.

If free and fair election is conducted in Lagos OBI will defeat tinubu 10 times.

PETER OBI clearly won the 2023 presidential election.

since obi won Lagos, he should become the president of Lagos now.

Since in your own dictionary, once u win one state then it means u will all


No matter many of u believed electorates in Abuja are more important than those in other states

Don't worry u will learn d hardway

Amumaigwe:
[b]See his record of achievements in office as governor. [/b]Tinubu, whom you adore, will need 5 lifetimes to equal that.

INTRODUCTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL AND OTHER MAJOR CHANGES IN NIGERIAN POLITICS

*He was the first gubernatorial candidate in Nigeria to legally challenge to its logical conclusion, his governorship electoral victory that was denied him. He won in the Courts and reclaimed his mandate.

*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 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.

he did all these n poverty rose under him?

He did all these n doctors went on strike for good 13 months?

U better log in to twitter now n follow Mazi space, them don tear obi cloth for there

ddippset:


I am here saying that INEC rigged an election in favour of the incumbent and this one is still bringing an INEC result to prove they didn't.
😁😁😁

Where nairaland dey find these kain people sef?

Anyone who can still believe a result from INEC's database in 2025 deserves an award for YTIDIPUTS.

(Read the bolded word from back to front pls. Sorry for your troubles!)

Look am not even talking about what happened in 2023,,


INEC should just conduct a free and fair election in 2027.

did u know obi never said he won the election at the presidential petition tribunal?

rinzaugustine:
So a faceless nairaland moniker feels he has more wisdom than General Aremu Ikikiola Obasanjo who was the first man the run the longest democracy in Nigeria, ended military coups in Nigeria and stabilized Nigeria? Wonders shall never end on this nairaland

oga who stopped obj third term ambition?

No b Atiku?

So u expect obj to support Atiku that he can't control right?


Who did otoge for obj in Ogun state?

No b Tinubu?

So u expect obj to support Tinubu?

I was of age then n I witnessed how atiku n tinubu humiliated OBJ n stopped him at one point or the other so I know for sure he will never support d 2 of them.

It is kids like u who believe it's for the love he had for obi but it's far from that

10 Convincing Things Peter Obi Can Do to Transform Nigeria in 4 Years


Opinion:

By PastorKay

There’s a lot of noise — loud arguments, skeptical voices, and political spin — about whether Nigeria can truly be fixed in just four years.

Some say it's impossible. They argue the problems are too deep, the damage too extensive, and the system too corrupt. But what they forget is this: Nigeria doesn’t need forever. It just needs a leader who is focused, fearless, and genuinely ready to serve.

Peter Obi is not promising magic. He’s promising leadership with integrity, urgency, and purpose. He’s asking for just one term — 48 months — to lay the foundation for a new Nigeria. And based on his track record, discipline, and vision, that’s not just believable — it’s achievable.

If anyone can deliver meaningful change within a single term, Peter Obi can. Here are 10 clear, practical, and convincing things he can accomplish in just four years to turn Nigeria’s fortunes around and rewrite our national story.

1. Slash Government Waste and Reduce Cost of Governance

Peter Obi is not new to lean and accountable leadership. As Governor of Anambra, he cut waste and saved billions. As President, he can immediately cut down on excessive allowances, bloated convoys, and redundant agencies, freeing up trillions for national development.

2. Redirect Trillions into Education, Healthcare, and Infrastructure

Nigeria bleeds money into luxuries for the elite. Obi will redirect that spending into schools, hospitals, roads, rail, and renewable energy projects. This redirection of priorities can quickly stimulate development and uplift millions out of poverty.

3. Launch an Agricultural Revolution That Creates Jobs and Food Security

Peter Obi has repeatedly stated that Nigeria’s future lies in the soil. With over 84 million hectares of arable land, Nigeria has no excuse being hungry. Obi will invest in mechanized farming, agro-processing, and food storage systems to boost productivity, create jobs, and drastically reduce food imports. In just four years, Nigeria can feed itself — and even export.

4. Drive an Industrial Revolution Through Made-in-Nigeria Initiatives

Obi will prioritize local production over importation by supporting small-scale and large-scale industries. From leather in Aba to tech in Lagos, steel in Ajaokuta to rice mills in Kano — he will revive dormant industries, create industrial zones, and offer tax incentives and infrastructure to attract manufacturers. This will lead to millions of jobs and massive economic growth.

5. Build a Transparent, Investor-Friendly Economy

With his private-sector background and clean image, Obi will attract serious foreign and local investors. He will improve the ease of doing business, simplify taxation, and build investor confidence through transparency, stable policies, and respect for contracts.

6. Declare Total War on Corruption

Obi doesn’t need drama to fight corruption. His lifestyle is the message. In 4 years, he can revamp anti-corruption institutions like EFCC, ICPC, and the Auditor-General’s office and enforce a system where stealing from public coffers becomes near impossible — not because of fear, but because of strict systems and accountability.

7. Create Millions of Jobs Through Public Works and Skill Development

By investing in infrastructure, agriculture, and tech, Obi can trigger a job explosion. He will also launch programs to equip Nigerian youth with digital, vocational, and business skills, turning the massive youth population into a productive force, not a ticking time bomb.

8. Deliver Affordable and Reliable Power Supply

Obi understands that no economy can thrive without electricity. In four years, he can decentralize the national grid, empower states and private players to generate power, and support off-grid renewable energy for underserved areas. The ripple effect on industry, education, and healthcare will be massive.

9. Conduct Free, Fair, and Peaceful Elections

Because he’s only asking for one term, Peter Obi is in a unique position to organize the most credible election in Nigeria’s history. He will clean up INEC, ensure voter confidence, and remove fear from the electoral process, leaving behind a democratic legacy Nigeria has never seen before.

10. Rebuild National Unity and Restore Hope

Peter Obi’s politics is issue-based, not tribal or religious. As President, he will speak to all Nigerians — North, South, East, and West — with fairness and inclusion. He will run a government of merit, not favoritism, and rebuild national identity and hope, especially among the youth.

Final Word:

Nigeria doesn’t need eternity to get better. We just need the right man with the right heart in the right seat.

Peter Obi has the plan. He has the discipline. He has the will. And in 4 years, he can deliver the kind of impact that will echo for generations.

Let’s give him the mandate — and give Nigeria a chance to breathe again.

y didn't he do all these in just one state when he had a whole 8 years but today he believes he will do magic in 36 states within 4 years

No b craze b that?


If obi hasn't held any elective position before we can believe but we saw how he failed woefully in anambara

Jostoman:
moving from one party to another is a normal thing. This is an agreement that he is giving to all Nigerians and we believe him.

so u believe it's normal for a so called man of integrity to make a vow n break it?


So it's normal for a man of integrity to vow never to have anything to do with criminals but today he's in their midst?

Disenfranchised:
PO one term presidency ambition is cut from the same fabric as that of Nelson Mandela's.

hope u know it was d age factor that stopped Mandela?

He was considering his age because by then he was 80 n he has health issues n obi is in his 60's today but u are comparing a 60 year old man to an 80 year old man.

It's obvious many of u don't even do research on your own, u just follow anything u hear n start running along with him

Imagine a man like obi making examples about Kennedy n Abraham Lincoln that were assassinated?

Like seriously obi needs to change his team, they are exposing his shallowness too much

The gaffes are becoming too much to ignore

ddippset:
The statement
"4 years is enough to transform Nigeria is a consequential statement not a reason"

That is not the reason why he wants 4 years, he never said so!

Did you lots expect Peter Obi to come out and announce
"Oh I want only 4 years so that i could win the votes of the North"?

Is that what you expected him to announce?

Make una serious for this country na!!

so meaning obi is not planning to use 4 years, he's only decieving people?

ddippset:
Waiting for where?

I no blame una sha..

Na Mahmoud and Supreme Court I blame.


Let dem just conduct free and fair elections in 2027 devoid of any Presidential magu magu..

Then we will know whether you are waiting for us or whether we are the ones waiting for you..

INEC just be committed to a free and fair election,, let there be no glitches this time,,,

That is all we ask.

hope u know a president needs majority votes n 25% in 24 states to win election.


In the last election, obi didn't lost 4 states in d south west, lost 2 states in d south south, didn't even have 25% in more than 10 northern states

So how did he win

With this result from the north, oya tell me how obi was rigged out

rinzaugustine:
Of all Nigerian politicians Obi have been the most consistent and one of the reasons that continues to endear him to great people like Aremu Obasanjo, Chimamanda Adichie, other great honorable Nigerians and Obidients as well

obi is d most inconsistent because he vowed never to leave apga but left

He called atiku n co structure of criminality but today he's romancing them

As regards obj backing Peter obi, who do u expect obj to back among d 3 leading aspirant?

It is definitely Peter obi that he can easily control


Don't forget atiku stopped his third term campaign n obj vowed atiku will never b president.

Tinubu also did otoge for obj in Ogun state where obj daughter, cousins n all other relatives were removed from Ogun politics till date.

So u don't expect him to support people who put him in his place at a point in his life

He will always support someone he sees as a puppet

Jostoman:
no, because agreement is agreement and we are fully in support of his one term pregnancy.

y didn't he follow the agreement that he will never leave apga?

He even vowed not to leave apga n not only that he moved to PDP n LP

So obi is not known to honour agreement

Shawarmagirl:
Reuben Abati is a pained soul. He has assume the spoke person position for the North.

Allow the North to decide. Why is Peter Obi giving Yoruba Muslim headache?

so Reuben abati is a Muslim?


Even when u hear Reuben

ddippset:
And what is so wrong if Peter Obi has done his political calculations and seen that he needs to do one term to get the votes of the North?

What is the problem with that?

Was it not political calculations that made Tinubu go for a Muslim Muslim ticket?

Was it not political calculations that made Tinubu hire Bishops?


What is wrong with you people sef?

nobody is stupid to fall for that cheap lie n besides Reuben abati statement is very correct

We are all waiting for him


Church take back your country, obi saying nnamdi kanu didn't do anything despite all he said about d North.......


We are waiting for him

doncartel:
He was able to repent of that omission and is now a changed man. We are all human beings. But he’s now the best bet for electoral reforms.

what made him a changed man?

If he can call Atiku n co structure of criminality in 2023 n today he's romancing them, how's he a changed man?


He has even proven never to b trusted lately with his actions, same man now frolicking with el rufai.

Same man now in d same party with malami that jailed nnamdi kanu

Justnation:
Exactly, therefore do the best while you are here in this world.

Equity is the best solution.

Since 1999 that democracy was restored in Nigeria, the south west has been in power for for 20 years , 12 years as president and 8 years as vice president.
Yet whenever they hear that someone from south East want to contest they will become angry and aggressive, imagine people from south west swearing that PETER OBI will never be president yet they want the clueless and incompetent tinubu to continue for a second term.

Make no mistake about it, if you don't stand up for your right no one will do it for you.
No region is second class in Nigeria.

but u people are too small to stop Tinubu from becoming president in 2027

aribisala0:
Mixture of random facts dressed up as logic
We cannot make any meaningful conclusion about Jonathan because in 2011 he was already an incumbent .
He did not become President from outside.

There is no reason why a person from North Central Must have the support of the NW
1. They could become president the same way Jonathan became president from vice president and use incumbency
2. The fact that Buhari could not become president without the SW tells us the SW is even more important than the NW possibly after all since since 1999 no one has EVER won without winning the SW whereas Buhari won the NW and still lule

Let us not forget that Jonathan got 22 million votes in 2011. While Buhari got 12million

In 2023 total votes s fo all candidates was 23 million so BVN showed the 12 million Buhari votes to be a fraud like Jonathan's 22 million which was the power of incumbency

To win as president you need 25% in 24 states that can come from the NC all the southern states and Abuja
That is the mathematics
Nothing special about NW

Jonathan became president by accident not planned, if yaradua finished his 8 years Jonathan can never b president n I believe u knew what happened in 2011, Jonathan entered agreement with Tinubu ACN then so as to have the whole south west except osun cos of Jonathan n Aregbesola rift.


Jonathan ignored south west after getting to power n the turned their back against him in 2015 n he lost


That's to show u that oga was right with his analysis

PigTormentor:
It beats me how anyone can fall for this crap. This man was a Governor of just one state out of 36.
Go and check his record not his promises. Anyone can make prmises when they seek poliical office.
What's important is what did you do while you have a chance to rule for 8 good years.
he has a record of FAILURE, INCOMPETENCE AND ANTI DEMOCRATIC.
All these fancy talk is uslesss when we can easily check your talk with your actions.
If this man was not an Igbo man, he would have neen laughed off the stage long time ago but the desperation for an Igbo presidency is the major reason why he's even relevant in the scheme of politifal discuss.

God bless u abundantly for those last lines.


If ibos want Ibo presidency they should come out n openly tell us, all these bullshit about obi competence will never work

doncartel:
Atiku and Tinubu are psychologically designed for one party state, so Obi is the only hope for free and fair elections in Nigeria.

y didn't he conduct local government election for good 7 and half years as anambara governor?

doncartel:
Obi is the only leader that can reform the electoral system so that Nigeria will be having free and fair elections. That is enough achievement for the whole 4 years.

same man that didn't conduct local government election for good 7 and a half years?

Same man is who u want to conduct free n fair elections


It's like u people always forget obi have been in power for 8 years before

Shawarmagirl:
Nigerian failed system has so programmed people so much that when a politician speaks, they doubt him due to the decay political system.

I believe Peter Obi. Even if he did not do much as expected within his 4 years, he will set the stage for the next person to run over.

what did he do in 8 years in anambara?

If he hasn't been there before we can take him serious


If u are saying this about moghalu or anyone who haven't held power before we can take u serious

jmoore:
Others have been ruling since 1999 to date and Nigeria is still generating 5,000 megawatts. Obi says he wants to do one term and some are against him. Do they want Obi to be life president?

Nawa for una!

what did he do with tiny anambara in good 8 years?

If he hasn't been governor before we can take him serious but his woeful records are there in anambara

Maxymilliano:
If Tinubu could turn the country in a destructive direction in just 2 years, then a whole 4 years should be enough to redirect the country's path to the right direction.

between destroying an house n erecting a house

Which takes longer?


Note- with just one bomb u can demolish anything within 5 minutes n u can't build same structure in 5 minutes

madridguy:
I just wasted my data. I laugh at his ignorant saying they committed lesser crimes

I have asked here several times, someone should post a link of any Ayodele or Adewolu arrested in any part of the SE for any crime.

don't mind them

They are just trying to force the narrative that they are friendly n accomodating which it's not gonna fly cos people know better.

If obi has never been governor before, we can still take him serious.

But how do u want me to believe a man who was governor of anambra state for good 8 years n the only thing he could say when asked of his achievements was go n verify haba?

Same man that failed woefully as governor for 8 years in tiny anambara but today he wants to change Nigeria within 4 years.

These same man promised he will never leave apga but left so how do we trust him?

Same man that said he will retire corrupt politicians but now in the retirement camp of corrupt politicians


I pity those who trust this guy

Atlantis585:
When one old crook was running up and down shouting “emi lokan”, did you also call that desperation or is that word reserved for a particular person or tribe?

but obi is different now, y should he do things like d crooks?
