Obi's 8-year tenure in Anambra State was largely underwhelming, with many indigenes and residents openly criticising his poor performance at the time. Ironically, the same people who once condemned his leadership have now elevated him to messiah status—driven more by tribal sentiments than by objective assessment. All because of smuggling their man into Aso Rock.
These are the real accounts from those who lived under his administration.

Walai:
I was on ground in between 2002 when Obi predecessor Mbadinuju was in office and 2010 when Obi ruled Anambra not just as a private citizen but a barrack boy. Na we know wetin dey on ground bro. Obi is the best suited to solve our current issues. I was among the persons as at 2019 that was attacking Obi for vying for Atiku VP instead of contesting.
Obi hold the cards to solving our current problems.

He once claimed he doesn't give "shishi," yet now he's discreetly distributing favours—clearly with 2027 in mind. Since his 2023 defeat, Obi has suddenly transformed into a born-again philanthropist. As always, the self-proclaimed messiah is labouring in vain.

The Agulu-born “messiah” and his Obidient choir truly believe that unsolicited donations, blowing issues out of proportion, social media noise and peddling fake statistics are the keys to Aso Rock. But all that noise amounts to nothing more than an exercise in futility—a naked dance of a madman in the marketplace. 2027 won’t be won by gimmicks and emotional blackmail

Oga some of things are better left unsaid and classified. 2027 is like a premiership final . All coaches are busy with their game plans, what if inec on their madness rig all the southern votes , including south east to Tinubu. What now happens?

All you do is bark on social media, recycling the same tired conspiracy theories and propaganda that failed you woefully in 2023. No lessons learned, no strategy, just noise. You're back on the same road to disgrace, confusion, and premium tears. History isn’t repeating itself, you're dragging it by the neck to embarrass you again.

Obi is the definition of political confusion and desperation. The same man who once branded others as the "structure of criminality” is now running to them for political cover. No shame, no spine, no ideology.

All the noise — unsolicited donations, social media polishing, sympathy tours — it’s all empty drama. It won’t erase his poor performance, it won’t cover his lack of political party constitency and direction, and it sure as hell won’t make him president.

Let’s stop pretending, Obi has no roadmap to 2027 victory. He should save himself the disgrace and quit now, before history seals his name as a serial party hopper and a certified election loser

They say “Lagos is overrated”, but guess who’s relocating to Lagos faster than their shadow? 😂
They mock the state during the day, but by night they’re checking house rent and job openings.
Deep down, they don’t hate Lagos — they hate that their state isn’t Lagos.
Wailers will wail. Lagos will build, grow, and leave them behind with their bitter tweets and borrowed data.

Isn’t it Chimamanda who wrote to the United States, urging them not to recognize Tinubu’s presidential election victory—and even reportedly called for his arrest? This is the height of delusion. These people are so deeply entrenched in conspiracy theories, social media propaganda, and echo chambers that they’ve lost all sense of objectivity.

They’re quick to point accusing fingers at others, yet fail to take responsibility for their own self-inflicted problems.

Here we go again! The hype machine is back in full swing for the self-anointed messiah of the Obidients—the same serial party hopper. Same old script, same predictable ending: another loss.

This coalition is all about Atiku—Obi is just a pawn in the political chessboard. Obidients are too politically naive to see what’s happening. They’re lost in social media noise, and by the time they snap out of it, it’ll be too late.

The truth? Both Atiku and Obi are stuck in a political cul-de-sac. Whether they run together or apart, the outcome is the same—they’re headed nowhere. Just different routes to the same dead end.

The social media noise trying to paint Obi as Nigeria’s messiah and a reformer is nothing but a well-rehearsed drama. He may be playing according to the script to impress the crowd, but no amount of online whitewashing can rewrite his history of political party hopping and lackluster performance in office.

Racoon:
Shame unto all those peddling the arrest issue
Now let's hear what the purveyors of the Igbo kingship being arrested in Ghana will say with this development.

However, some people of warped worldview shaped by ethno-religio-regional bigotry, sentiments and considerations are hellbent on formenting trouble just because they wants to force acceptance of a well known drug baron, certificate forging and identity theft crook.

Only the weak and delusional constantly blame others for problems they brought upon themselves

Let’s not fool ourselves—this coalition is just Atiku’s latest desperate bid for power. Obi is merely a pawn in his tired political game.

Two political dead ends: one a serial loser, the other a party-hopping opportunist. Together or apart, they’re destined to fail.

By the time Obi and his keypad warriors and echo chambers realize it, it’ll be too late.

They secretly admired him. Same playbook—noise, drama, and falsehood. All na content, nothing more.

When their beloved governor owes salaries, Obidients suddenly become prophets of patience and understanding. But let it happen in an opposition state, and suddenly Nigeria is a 'zoo' and democracy is on life support. If hypocrisy ever needed a brand ambassador, it would be Obidients.

Let’s not kid ourselves—this so-called coalition is just a desperate ploy to resurrect Atiku’s never-ending presidential ambition. Obi? He’s just the latest pawn in a tired political chess game.
The serial election loser, Atiku and the professional party hopper, Obi, have found themselves in a political cul-de-sac, spinning in circles. Whether they run together or apart, one thing is certain—they’re destined to lose, again.

Let’s be realistic—this coalition is essentially designed to advance Atiku’s presidential ambition. Obi is nothing more than a pawn on the political chessboard. No amount of talk or analysis will change that.
The serial election loser, Atiku, and the serial political party hopper, Obi, are trapped in a political cul-de-sac. Whether they contest together or individually, they will always end up as losers.

a man emptied his bullion vans to grab power.no one is asking if he has refilled

Busted! A man exposed in the Pandora Papers scandal had state money hidden in his car boot. He also funneled public funds into a bank where he’s a stakeholder. Yet, some deluded followers have elevated him to messiah status. Blind loyalty knows no shame.

ArcSEMPECJ:
The reason why I love Peter Obi to be President is not far fetched,....

Anyone that knows how many employees he has in his company, can always cater for their welfare....meaning that without statistical measures, a Manager is not serious yet but we had one man who during campaign asked Nigerians , "na Statistics we go chop"...and some zombies laughed , today what are we chopping?

Go to abroad and see how they behave, they work with data, once you enter their country, they know you entered, they work with statistics, they know the number of people employed, know the numbers remaining for employment, they know how many people pay taxes, they know those not working and they pay them too...even in your work place, your Manager monitors you, and can sack you if you are under performing, it is not about ethnicity or religion over there....but due process..

Everything working there is not rocket science, it is not Agbero talks where you grab it, steal it and run with it..... everything there is ironed out...

Police know their job, have cameras on their uniform , even sign in from work place, everywhere is organized...

Nigeria doesn't need emilokan kind now, let's leave Nigeria to be developed by Men with capable brains , then we can at a time say let's celebrate the old age men and make one President just for a ceremonial 4years...then we can bring them that said it is their turn to rule Nigeria, give them 4years, and monitor them as well, so they won't make a mess just as we have today in Government...

Nigeria can work again...let's get it right with the right leaders ..

Only in Nigeria do we overhype a serial party defector with a glaring record of political flip-flopping and underperformance. Eight years in a small state like Anambra, and nothing to show for it but media spin and inflated self-appraisals. No economic blueprint, just recycled buzzwords and feel-good slogans passed off as policy.

Yet somehow, this is the man some believe can fix a complex nation like Nigeria? It’s either wishful thinking or a masterclass in political delusion.

A group of disgruntled, politically spent individuals—long out of favour and relevance—have now disguised themselves as champions of democracy. Under the guise of a 'coalition', they are merely attempting to revive their faded political careers and find their way back to power to once again enjoy its spoils.

Those backing them, along with their desperate proponents, are once again labouring in vain. In the end, there will be no victory—only the usual wailing and gnashing of teeth.

power is completely useless if u do not use it well and to the benefit of ur society and humanity. Where is buhari and Abacha who had more power than tinubu?

Your so-called self-appointed messiah had eight full years as governor of Anambra State and left no exceptional legacy to warrant the blind adoration, he's now receiving. He didn’t fully utilize the powers of his office to effect real structural change. Ironically, many of those who once criticized his underwhelming performance have suddenly crowned him a messiah—driven not by facts, but by sheer ethnic sentiment and tribal loyalty.

jaxxy:
president of where? A Stolen mandate is on president of his followers. Its like saying Abacha was ur president after denying mko who won the election his right as president.

That is not delusion but preserving the truth. tinubu didn't win any elections of fulfil the constitutional requirements. He was bundled in by the corrupt system.

Keep echoing those tired WhatsApp group rants and drowning in delusion — it's the only therapy you people know. While you cry foul and spin your usual election rigging fairy tales in 2027, Asiwaju will still be comfortably in power. Same script, same tears, same losers.

jaxxy:
tinubu didn't win lagos, osun or abuja.

What do we calk that?

Those who claimed victory in the aforementioned states are still chasing shadows, searching for their elusive mandate. Meanwhile, Asiwaju remains your master—the duly elected President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Be wise, dear son—delusion has never been a strategy.

Pa Oyegun is a politically exhausted man grasping at relevance through a coalition that’s dead on arrival. Time has passed him by. This is nothing but the last kick of a dying horse — a wild goose chase destined for failure. He has played his part in national development, but instead of exiting with dignity, he now risks ending his journey in dissapointpiont, remembered not for his service, but for a pitiful final act.

A group of disgruntled, politically spent individuals—long out of favour and relevance—have now disguised themselves as champions of democracy.

Both the supporters and the so-called proponents are merely labouring in vain, as usual. When reality strikes, there will be plenty of wailing and gnashing of teeth—just like before.

In 2023, you threw everything at Asiwaju — propaganda, endless litigations, coordinated smear campaigns — and it all collapsed like a pack of cards. He still emerged victorious. Now you’re back with the same bitterness and tactics, thinking 2027 will be any different? Brace yourselves. Another round of heartbreak and premium tears is loading for the ever-wailing camp.

I thought these same people claimed Buhari was dead and that a clone from Sudan had taken his place. Now they contradict themselves and keep spreading confusion and deception.
