Go and verify!

I am open to investigation. If I am ever found wanting of corruption or criminality, I will throw in the towel.

I challenge the whole northerners, if anyone can come out and say that I deported him or issue an ID card to him when I was a governor, I will give up my aspiration.

I will rather fail doing the right thing than win doing the wrong thing.

Do not vote for me because I am Igbo. Do not vote for me because I am a Christian. Do not vote for me because it is the turn of Southeast. It is nobody's turn. Rather it is the turn of Nigeria. Vote for a character you can trust. Vote for competence. Vote for capacity. Vote for freedom.

I governed Anambra state for 8 years. I did not owe a salary. I paid all the backlog arrears. I did not borrow one Naira. I left office leaving more than a 75billion Naira for the state in different Nigerian banks. Since then, I receive no pension, no property, or material from the state as an ex-governor.

Join the moving Train from Consumption to Production.

PLEASE, GO AND VERIFY!

{Can other candidates make such statements?}

Mr. Peter Obi has never and will never insult anybody. Be it his political opponents or rivals. Very humble to earth, accessible, and has been talking and reaching out to Nigerians.

Mr. Peter Obi towers higher than others.

I am voting for Peter Obi of the labor party because of the following reasons.

1. He has come out publicly on more than five different occasions to challenge Nigerians about his being involved in any corrupt or criminal dealings, he will throw in the towel on his quest to be President. Can other candidates pose such a challenge?

2. He challenge the Northerners at the Arewa forum that if he had deported anybody or issued an ID card to anyone while as governor in Anambra state, he will give up on bidding. He asked anyone to come out and vilify him on that, everywhere was silent.

3. He kept on saying that Nigerians should not vote for him because he is Igbo to pacify Igbos, do not vote for him because he is a Christian. Do not vote for him because of the region, rotation, or turn. Instead, vote for him because of Character you can trust, competence, credibility, and capacity. He doesn't play tribal or religious politics.

4. If he can achieve the feat of securing Anambra state and being commended by the then IGP as Anambra being the most secured state in Nigeria as a governor, I believe he can do wonders as a Commander in chief of the Armed forces.

5. He has been challenging anyone that cares that he never embezzled or misappropriate state funds as a governor. If anyone found him wanting on that, he will throw in the towel. [An opposition party to his is presently governing Anambra]

5. He didn't borrow for 8 years as governor, owe no salary, even offset a backlog of arrears, save and left a very huge amount of money for the state, and receive no pension, property, or material after leaving office.

6. Built a lot of infrastructures, achieve a huge turnaround in Education, reduced the unemployment rate in Anambra, and made it more viable.

7. Strong and very healthy, accessible to Nigerians, and has been speaking to and engaging Nigerians.

What else are we looking for in a leader?

Can other candidates make a similar assertion?

After the Reggae plays the blues!

Someone should help me remind Wike that he only has 7 months left in office.

Someone should help me remind Wike that he is getting lean and shrinking.

Wike forgot that many lives lie ahead after being Governor for 8 years.

He who fights everyone around him with so much bitterness will never be trusted by his friends and allies. Do not slam the door as you passed, you may need the service of that same door tomorrow.

Inarguably, Obidient/ObiDatti movement is a Divine project. Who GOD bless, no one should curse.

The very first time a presidential candidate is being so much endeared to the masses.

I am so happy and appreciate GOD for being part of the generation that salvaged, redefine, and restore Nigeria.

At least, I will have a story to tell my kids about how we, the youth fought gallantly with our PVC in the year 2023 to rescue Nigeria they are now enjoying.

GREAT POWER LIES IN THE YOUTH. TOGETHER WE MAKE IT HAPPEN. IT IS NOW OR NEVER.

This FACT CHECKER should equally check his academic records (primary, secondary and tertiary) together with his schoolmates to ridicule late Yinka Odumakin's (may his soul rest in peace) assertion of BAT's true age and identity.

I think this will prove the potency of their fact checkings and address some grey issues.

What is Social media?
Social media are websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or participate in social networking.

Is the election conducted on social media? No.
Does social media play any factor during electioneering? Yes.

Social media are the frontrunners for propagating information in this modern world. The penetrating power of social media is second to none. Many businesses and firms spend fortunes advertising their products and services on social media. You never asked why the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, etc. spend fortunes to acquire the likes of Facebook, WhatsApp, and Twitter.

If not for social media, Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour party wouldn’t have built such a massive fan base or supporters in a very short period. Labour Party Presidential candidate was able to spread to every nook and cranny of Nigeria owing to the networking prowess of social media. Even many remote villages can easily identify the image of Mr. Obi because of the impact, of social media.

Who are the electorates of 2023 election? They are Nigerians, especially the youth. Who are the users of social media? They are Nigerians, the same youth. It is obnoxious to underrate the effect of social media in the 2023 election. If social media is not relevant, why do the likes of Atiku, Tinubu and even Buhari employ social media handlers, pay them heavily and issue statements via the same. Word leaders and great men all have social media accounts. Ignore social media at your peril. Social media alone has earned Mr. Peter Obi more than twenty million votes.

Come 2023, you will understand that the best platform to easily win an election at relatively low cost is Social media.

Forward ever, OBIDIENT supporters. Come 2023, they will know that the so-called Social media keypad warriors are not Robots but Humans.

Inarguably, the OBIDIENT movement is spreading beyond imagination. Without mincing words, it is bigger than what you thought.

Who will believe that a sitting opposition governor, Governor Ortom of Benue state would make this statement publicly? He advised Nigerians to look beyond politics, and place the nation and its interests first. He equally suggests that Peter Obi should meet other presidential candidates including that of PDP and APC and discuss the prospect of stepping down for him (Mr. Peter Obi). When you meet, watch or listen to Mr. Peter Obi, you feel renewed with hope and strong belief in realizing Nigeria of our dreams.

Do not be left out, denounce the pride and ego, embrace reality and join the moving train.

I am Obidient!

— Mr Vanguard (CKO) (@chuks2phix) July 21, 2022

The intrigues of late May and early June 2022 will never be forgotten in Nigeria’s political space. What started as a pebble of sand is rapidly metamorphosing into a gigantic rock. OBIDIENT MOVEMENT has become so formidable that the two leading political parties, APC and PDP are now losing sleep, no thanks to the emergence of one man in the 2023 general election.

Many political analysts are skeptical of Mr. Peter Obi, Labour Party's presidential candidate’s quest to occupy Aso rock. Yours sincerely saw it as a mere awareness of someone seeking political relevance. I and other like minds kicked against his decision to leave PDP, the leading opposition party, and joined the Labour party, a perceived miniature party. I never knew that such a move will become one of the best decisions ever made by a politician in the modern Nigerian political circle. As I’m writing this, Labour Party has become a household name in our journey to the 2023 general election. Mr. Peter Obi is becoming so popular that, hardly will anyone mention three serious presidential aspirants without including him in the first three. Obidient movement, and Labout Party has become a very big concern to APC and PDP. Ignore the movement at your peril.

In early June, analysts are tagging Labour Party (LP) as a party without structure, but today, the narrative has changed. LP is now a table shaker that is rapidly penetrating every nook and cranny of Nigeria dislodging other political structures. Just before my visible eyes, I am witnessing the fortune of a relatively known Political party turned around and still being turned around because of the emergence of one man, Mr. Peter Obi in modern-day Nigeria.

Many people are questioning the recent surge in Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) registrations and requests for transfer on Nigeria’s attitude of late approach to courses or exercise. To me, I disagree. The emergency of Mr. Peter Obi is the cause. Many who lost hope in Nigeria politics saw him as an alternative that change the perception which awakened their interest that spurred the massive voter registration we are witnessing today.

I tell you most solemnly, the Obidient movement is divine. It is a Nigerian project. No tribal or religious correlation.

Do not be deceived about the fate of the Labour Party and Mr. Peter Obi if he wins the presidential election in 2023 owing to the composition of our national assembly at the moment. It might interest you to know that the 10th assembly that will be inaugurated in 2023 is still vacant. And yet to be occupied by any political party. Reminiscent of 2015, many lawmakers rode on the popularity of Major General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) as a perceived messiah to emerge senators and rep members. So, do not ignore such a factor.

There is no gainsaying that Mr. Peter Obi and Labour Party are making waves and garnering momentum more than other political parties. As we are approaching 2023, let’s watch with keen interest as events unfold.

May GOD bless Mr. Peter Obi and Labour Party!

{Jiokejohn writes}

OBIDIENT MOVEMENT is becoming a DIVINE PROJECT!

First-time in our modern history the masses are rallying for a candidate without monetary inducement.

First-time electorates are coming out with great passion to participate and vote in an election.

First-time Nigerians are coming out en masse to register for their PVC and request for transfer.

With the newly enacted electoral act that legalizes and authenticates 'Electronic Transmission of Results' from Polling units, hope has been restored to an improved electoral system.

Whoever claim oblivious of OBIDIENT MOVEMENT is either living in Denial or can be paradoxically regarded as one who is on earth but not alive.

OBIDIENT MOVEMENT is beyond Ethnicity, Tribe, Region, and Religion.

#VoteForPeterObi
#VoteForLabourParty.

BAT supporters should be very careful with the way they are marketing their Candidate. For clarity's sake, this is season of Electioneering. Always know that it is the Masses that will decide the fate of every Candidate and outcome of the Election.

In every of your dealings, try to convince and satisfy the Masses curiosity. Directing that whoever doubts the Education qualification of your Principal should go to court, to me, it is not a good marketing strategy. This is not a Property or Mandate tussle. Court may clear or exonerate BAT on his Education qualifications, yet Masses will not be satisfied and revolt to the Judgement by voting massively against him.

During Electioneering, it has to be the Masses first. When Masses seek for an attention or clarifications, respond to them convincingly and satisfactorily. Unless APC and BAT supporters have another plan that will earn them victory

Channah1:
Sometimes it's not about quantity. this is one of those times you'll just feel like sweet mouth then you won't know when you spend so much on little.

So I craved it and went for it

Exactly!

Some days are like that.

I prefer eating quality, nutritious, and healthy food to quantity.

Without mincing words, I am surprise that the ruling party APC submitted a 'Place Holder'.

It gave credence to the rumour that APC has no plan for governance, but only to grab power. How can a ruling party be devoid of plans for smooth and successful transition of power in line with the law made by majority of their members in the National assembly? More so, it beats my imagination that a Politician with 'Life time ambition' of ruling Nigeria is without a plan for a candidate he will pursue such an ambition with having studied the peculiar nature of Nigeria politics for years, known his major opponent a week ahead.

I justify the position of Labour Party on a Place Holder because their Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi emerged barely five days after joining the party hence the need for more time to strategize. BAT made it obvious in his viral video that it is the turn of Yoruba land and in Yoruba land, it is his turn. Forgotten to understand that a running mate is needed to fulfil the so call life ambition is a question on his preparedness for the job he is aspiring for. Issue of Muslim/Muslim or Muslim/Christian ticket is never an excuse owing to intrigues prior to 2015 election he was very part of.

Atiku Abubakar and PDP has shown truly that he knew and was prepared for what he is aspiring for.

Place Holder or no Place Holder, 2023 is becoming more interesting. The Third force is gaining more popularity.

The only available NEXT ACTION is TO CONTROL YOUR UTTERANCES.

Your mouth is the greatest weapon against you.

Though I cant authenticate this, but I believe that massive structure are being rapidly built like Huricane wave.

Fellow Nigerians!

Inarguably, we the Youths have suffered the effect of Bag governance immensely. Our Dreams, Futures, and Expectations have been shattered. Security of lives and properties is now an illusion. Our Economy is in shamble. Education system is in deep mess. Infrastructural provision is a mirage. MY QUESTION IS, SHOULD WE CONTINUE WITH THIS TRAJECTORY? WHAT LEGACY ARE WE LEAVING FOR THE UNBORN GENERATION?

2023 is our utmost chance to redefine our Nation.

1.Ensure you get your PVC.

2. Vote the right Candidate.

3. Stay back to protect your vote.

4. [Very important] make sure that unused ballot papers in your polling unit is voided and destroyed. Reason: (they are being used to rig election. Perpetrators thumb-print them and allot it to their candidates thereafter.) So voiding them by shredding it to pieces is a very good measure to avert rigging. After all, every polling units are deployed with ballot papers with respect to the number of registered voters per polling unit. So it is needless after voting.

5. Ensure that the result is announced and transmitted electronically. You can crosscheck in INEC website with your device.

Remain Bless as we join in this quest to Salvage our Nation.

Jiokejon cares.

That is shenanigan associated with Lagos politics.

I remember what happened in Ago in 2019. If one is truly popular as claimed, why the fear to test his popularity in the forthcoming general election?

Payback time for Yahaya Bello.

I remember Bello/Faleke tussle.

Politics is indeed a Theatre of Vendetta.

I don't know who will emerge the Flagbearer, but I know who will not emerge.

If you know, you know.

I

Truly, what goes round comes around.

Never in my imagination would I believe that BAT will make such utterances.

Now I beleive that no mortal should play God or assumed that status of Superhuman. This power play really hit BAT severely. Now he understood the pain of Ambode.

Against all odds, I wish BAT the very best.

ObosiUkwalla:
Pls people close to that iragbiji criminal should have their eyes on him. The man is going through alot and he is becoming suicidal

Please, have mercy on BAT for once. No matter your disaffection with him, express some compassion.

I'm not a fan of BAT and will never support his presidential ambition or vote for him, but I have the heart of human. He is an elderly man in a trying moment don't compound issues for him.

We all have cloudy moments atimes.

No one betrayed Nyesom Wike. Instead, Wike shot himself on the foot.

If we should tell ourselves the Truth, who is Nyesom Wike? If not the influence of Mrs Patience Jonathan, does Wike have the capacity to be a governor? What of attitude? Does he have the attitude of a leader?

As I opined earlier, Wike was fortunate to be Patience Jonathan's Golden Boy that earned him Rivers state Governorship seat. His ego became over bloated because of the wealth and resources of the State at his disposals. Wike thought that the World was his. He relegated everyone's opinion and became Capo De Tutu. Wike started bullying everyone including his fellow governors, other politicians, and party leaders. Ali Modu Sherif, Uche Secondus, Peter Obi, Emeka Ihedioha, Godwin Obaseki, Ifeanyi Okowa, HE Atiku Abubakar etc; all felt the arrogant, verbal abuses, and unclothed attitude of Wike. He always threaten PDP as a party.

Now, tell me who will work for or align with such a Character? Wike made almost every party member his enemy trusting on the resources of the state in his disposals. He threw banana peels on every path he passed without knowing that he needs to pass the same route to actualize his dream.

People are praising him for emerging Second position in the just concluded PDP Presidential primary. They never knew that Wike became intoxicated with little power in his kit as sitting Governor and massive resources of the State in his disposals. I challenge him to try his popularity again after he has left office when there will be no seamless influx of monthly allocations. Then he will know his true capacity and mates. Before Wike, others have been Governors.

I am even surprise he is still ranting and yet to learn his lesson.

Philipponzaghi:
Obi Pandora, integrity is more than just money.

You having no ideology and jumping from one crook party to another shows you lack integrity.

You lying to Ojuku that you won’t leave APGA and eventually leaving the party to PDP where you chickened out few days to the primary shows you lack integrity.

Like Reno said, let’s hope you don’t LABOUR in vain!

Nothing gladdens my heart like this Pandora issue.

One thing is certain. The world is evolving and will continue to evolve. The gimmicks used to deceive a Thirty-year-old in the Eighties cannot be used to deceive a Ten-year-old of today.

Months after this so called Pandora revelation, Mr Peter Obi is walking the whole of the country and touring the globe freely. He has no affiliation with the Ruling Party, he even criticise excesses of this administration openly. Yet, EFCC, ICPC and their likes has never questioned him. My dear, Smear campaign will lead us to no where. 'WHO GOD BLESS, NO MAN SHOULD CURSE'.

Like Mr Peter Obi or hate him, his popularity keep on soaring higher. The man has continue to challenge anyone to prosecute him if he had been found wanting in any ramification. What a great challenge to all and sundry!

It is obvious that Pandora's objective has been defeated, why not try another means? Who knows, you might fabricate something better that can be used to nail him.

My advice is to up your game on nailing him or channel same energy to something more productive to your life.

BAT has spoken the gospel truth.

If you know, you know.

Nigeria failed him!

Buhari failed him!

Above all, I failed him!

[The mistake I made in 2015 resulted to your untimely death. Though I tried to right my wrong in 2019, but my vote is not enough to remedy the wrong]

wolesmile:
Why is this zelensky allowing himself to be pushed beyond his capacity. I won't be surprised if mad Putin takes this war to the extreme.
Why announce Ukraine is about to become a member of NATO?

Remember, War doesn't determine who is right. It determines who is left. By the time this war is over, Ukraine will be left in both physical and psychological ruins that will take years to recover from.

Many people are blaming Zelensky.

My question is, will Ukraine ever be a sovereign nation if they can't stand on their own and remain a Russian puppet as Putin wanted them to be?

If they submit to Russian neo-colonialism, how will they grow or thrive as a nation?

If Putin succeeds on this quest, what/who's next?

No one is inferior unless you accepted inferiority to take possession of your subconscious mind. You can only become a slave when you wholly submit yourself to a master.

Maybe some gullible expected Zelensky to trade the doggedness and liberation fight of their fathers in the nineties and revert or mortgage the future of the entire nation to a threat of one irrational power-drunk without resistance.

I stand with Zelensky!

Even if Putin eventually has his way, history will have it that he didn't submit his nation to Putin on a platter of gold. Zelensky has proven a man with balls.

Most of the TSG and SWAGA thought that the Presidential primary or even Presidential general election is exclusively Lagos or Southwest affair.

As long as Southwest is concerned, Osinbanjo is the highest-ranked active politician as the Vice President or number two citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Expecting him to step down to a former governor having tasted the climax position in acting capacity is more like a wild goose chase. Being in his mid-Sixties, do you think he will wait for 16yrs (8yrs of South plus 8yrs of North) to throw himself to the balot. Then he will be an Octagenarian.

People should stop crying wolfs where none exist. This is not the issue of state or regional popularity but nationwide popularity.

[Even, I'm currently in consultation to know if I should declare to contest for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2023]

Let everyone test his/her nationwide popularity.

True Governance in action!

By their actions and utterances, we easily identify the collaborators.

Wow!

Two men mark their Birthdays in weeks interval.

One looks like a genuine man in his Seventies and the other look like someone in his Nineties.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME TO IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENCE?
