Peter Obi made some serious claims here:

1. The University of Southern California has a faculty where everyone is an ex-convict (lecturers including professors)

2. He spent days with them

3. The dean of the faculty spent 28 years in jail

4. The registrar has spent years in jail as well

Under same Peter Obi oh

Validated:
Very unintelligent analysis, some pedestrian analysts just carry microphone 🎤 to confuse the weak minded.

Yoruba NEVER voted for OBJ and Yar Adua. Yet both were presidents, do we now call SW insignificant?

bentenny:
Yawn!
You are clearly stating and exposing what your admin director is currently giving you for posting!
Stingy admin🤣🤣

bentenny:
Why are you data boys afraid of denying my comment?
Atleast your former admin director exposed your propaganda that was peddled by new recruits Asari dokubo!
Respond to my comment instead of prevaricating!

chopnaira:
They think we are indomie generation

bentenny:
Unfortunately there has to be a pushback against these data boys who consistently churn out stale propaganda!

For instance,there was this propaganda propagated by data boys that Obi sent a young lady to peddle drugs into a south american country and she was eventually imprisoned and allowed to rot in jail!

If not for their former head of admin Reno omokiri who had to travel to a south american country to confirm that the information was false,they would have been reechoing that false but stale narrative!

The governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, has announced Nigeria’s former High Commissioner to Ghana, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, as Director-General of his campaign ahead of the 2027 election.

The appointment was disclosed at an expanded meeting of the campaign council, presided by Hamzat on Wednesday.
THISDAY gathered that the choice of Obanikoro had been pre-approved by President Bola Tinubu before it was made public by the candidate himself at a recent meeting of the council.

The choice of Obanikoro, sources within the council disclosed, was informed by the fact that he was a veteran politician and election general, who had been tested at different times.

Apart from the fact that his choice apparently had the approval of the president, THISDAY also gathered that no member of the council had an objection, as they all described the former senator for Lagos Central as a man they could work with.

Considered one of the most experienced politicians in the state, with several offices – elective and appointive – to his credit, his choice was said to have been carefully made.

A former chairman of Lagos Island Local Government, Obanikoro was appointed Commissioner for Home Affairs and Culture in Lagos in 1999 by then Governor Bola Tinubu, and served for four years before he was elected senator.

After his appointment as High Commissioner to Ghana, which followed his defeat as a governorship candidate in Lagos on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Obanikoro had also been appointed junior minister twice.

He was first Minister of State for Defence and later Minister of State for Foreign Affairs under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

A grounded Lagos politician and former elected secretary of the Justice Forum, with name recognition, Obanikoro is believed to come to his latest appointment with a bag full of experience, competence, and capacity, enough to lead the party to electoral victory in the state.

Peter Obi: Do You Still Insist On Nigeria Emulating The Indonesian Economy

On Monday, February 10, 2025, and several times afterwards, Mr. Peter Obi praised the Indonesian economy as a model for Nigeria and severely criticised His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu's handling of the Nigerian economy.

Since that time, and as reported by several financial and economic publications, including the Financial Times and the Spectator Index, the Indonesian Rupiah has depreciated heavily against the US Dollar, losing almost 20% of its value, and going from Rp 16,173 to $1 in February of 2025, to Rp 18,063 to $1 today, Tuesday, June 9, 2026.

Additionally, the Indonesian Rupiah was officially rated as Asia's "worst performing major currency" by Bloomberg, after it sank to a record low, forcing the Indonesian Central Bank to raise interest rates by 25 basis points to stop the free fall of its currency.

Furthermore, Indonesia has experienced a quarter-on-quarter GDP contraction of -0.77% in the first quarter of 2026.

In contrast, the Nigerian economy under His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, has experienced twelve uninterrupted cycles of GDP growth and trade surpluses.

Added to this is the fact that the Nigerian Naira, which traded against the US Dollar at ₦1,565 to $1 on Monday, February 10, 2025, when Peter Obi criticised Nigeria and praised Indonesia, has increased in value by 12.1% and now averages ₦1,365 today.

The Naira was also listed by FXTM as the second-best-performing currency in Africa for the first quarter of 2026, trailing only the Zambian kwacha.

Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund listed Nigeria as the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2025.

This is even as Anna Bjerde, the World Bank's Managing Director of Operations, said that "Nigeria is now frequently cited globally as an example of steady, credible reform leadership."

This comes as Nigeria's economy has grown by $67 billion in two years, rising from a GDP of ₦269.29 trillion on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju became President, to ₦372.8 trillion after the economy was rebased last year.

So, my question to Mr. Peter Obi is this: Sir, do you still insist that Nigeria emulate the Indonesian economy?

This is not an attack on the Republic of Indonesia, a great and proud nation, with which the Federal Republic of Nigeria enjoys an excellent relationship. The purpose of this is simply to inform Nigerians of the true state of their economy vis-à-vis what was said by Mr Peter Obi, a Presidential candidate in Nigeria, so that they can make a factual and honest assessment of Nigeria's economic well-being.
