TooNoisy:
As we must have all read in recent times, Peter Obi and his supporters have claimed he left 75 billion naira for his successor Willy Obiano when he left office. We all need to first of all understand that Obiano is Obi's friend and Peter Obi installed Obiano as Governor. They had both known each other from their days at Fidelity Bank.

When Obi left, he claimed he left 75billion naira for Obiano his friend; however, Obiano shortly after refuted this claim. Obiano has said Obi only handed over 9billion naira and left about 185billion naira in debt for Obiano. Please note that these two men were very good friends originally and Obi installed Obiano; but 12months after Obiano took over and people started accusing him, he had to come out and defend himself.

Addressing reporters yesterday, the Secretary to the State Government, Prof Solo Chukwulobelu, described Obi’s claim as a hoax. He said: “The N75 billion was not there; it was not handed over to anybody. At best it can be half truth”. Chukwulobelu said instead, the state government inherited a total contract sum of N185.1 billion as liability from the Obi administration.

Peter Obi owed alot of contractors billions and had not paid most of them when he left. Obiano even alleged that Obi demanded 7.5billion naira to support his election. I will post numerous links, so you can read whichever story you want. They all say the same thing and they were all from 2015. Nothing new here.

Seun, Lalasticlala, Mynd44, please let this get to frontpage so that people that know Anambra well can either corroborate or refute this story.

You don't like Obi... that's okay but you should stop being too bitter about it because it is not good for your mental development. Reserve this energy for the campaign of your favorite candidate because you will need it soon.
Then take this free education, fact check means to verify the authenticity of someone's claim. It is not to bring up what anybody said about the claim. Peter Obi didn't just say he left 75 billion, he clarified the amount in cash, bond & shares. That is what you should go and fact check before coming here to sound stupid and toonoisy in your bid to demarket him, unfortunately you are marketing him. Like I said, it is a free education.

Cable is just something else these days. So unprofessional

nnofaith:
I find it hard to comprehend how these peeps reason! They think they can hoodwink everybody into believing thier Peter Obi is a Saint narrative.

No one is saint; even the holiest among us has something bad they have done but using Nigeria political template to judge, Obi is more than a saint.

jumper524:
substitute the word merger for working together. One of them can still collapse their structure to work with the other. It's too late to form a coalition at the moment.

Alright. Thanks

nnofaith:
The only way you can substitute a candidate in an election under the new electoral act is by withdrawal or death. How can you withdraw from partipating in an election and then again apply to participate in same election in a different party?

The Obi/ Kwankwaso merger is DOA

Noted; I am just wondering while the merger talk is still ongoing.

BloomingDale:
He should have had insurance then. An obligation is the responsibility of a party to meet the terms of a contract or agreement. If an obligation is not met, the legal system often provides recourse for the injured party. It is not our obligation/duty to buy him a tanker.

I got your point now and I apologize for my remark. However, Nigeria press are good in twisting words. Believe me, that man didn't put it as a demand. I just viewed a 30 minutes video this morning where one guy interviewed him and the wife. Judging by his answers, he is such a selfless man. His wife is even pregnant. They are just into the third month in their marriage. The man must have said that he preferred a new tanker to national honor and it was twisted to sound like he was making a demand

It has been confirmed that there is a merger talk ongoing between the candidate of Labour party, Mr. Peter Obi and the candidate of New Nigeria People's Party, Engr. Rabiu Kwankwaso. If the new electoral law is a barrier to their proposed merger as many have stated here as I have not gone through the act, why are they still going ahead with the merger talk or is there a loophole they could exploit in the electoral act in the event the merger happens. Lawyers in the house, enlighten us.

BloomingDale:
No one is obligated to buy you a new tanker, so go away with your sense of entitlement.

You are bitter and it is not good for you

[quote author= post=113948277]They are ignorant a state Labour Party distance themselves from the candidate that joined APC, they should worry about SDP that got second position, SDP are forming alliance with LP, Obi isn't planning to win all the states in West, major target is to neutralise the zone, last presidential elections PDP won two state in West, I'm 100% certain that Tinubu will never get bloc votes from West, last presidential election APC managed to win PDP in Ogun, Osibanjo home state even Lagos, they lost Ondo and Oyo to PDP[/quote]Don't mind them

To Peter Obi's supporters who might think I have been attacking their candidate, No, instead pointing flaws, giving suggestions on how to run the campaign even if 2023 did not work, 2027 look brighter.

Obi needs the LP party candidates who have won the primary for various positions than all this online noise. He carries their weight as well as a presidential candidate of the party LP.

LP party would have received more than 195 votes in the just concluded Ekiti guber election had Obi present in the campaign.

Obi should take more time to campaign for other aspirants without making the presidency to himself alone. Those are the people who are close to the grassroots

You don't like Peter Obi; you don't want him to win either. So this post is more of a mock than advice. Reserve that energy for your candidate. You will need it when campaign kicks off

donjazet:
Obi doesn't need kwankwaso as much as kwankwaso needs Obi.

Youths who seek a new order in Nigeria and are disillusioned with the old party are the one's solidly behind Obi.

Vote labour party

Politics goes beyond this sentiment bro. I am Obi supporter too but tone down

jumper524:
This table should not be shaken yet. There's still a lot of time for backlash.
Saint Obi is still enjoying his online period as Saint but Guyman has forgotten how he deported the northerners from his state way back during his reign as governor.

Kwankwaso today has a very strong followership in the northwestern region of Nigeria. This is the same region Saint Peter Obi deported its citizens from anambra way back during his reign as governor. Terming them beggers.
Today he's looking for the beggers to be his vice so he can make them second class citizens in their own country.
How magnificent of our noble Saint Obi.
Let's Kwankwaso attempts to be his vice and see how he becomes a betrayer.
People haven't forgotten and there's enough time till campaign starts. Massive distance fourth position awaits Peter obi.

You guys really have a very difficult job.

Benbellamor:
I support internal Democracy but for Atiku to just roll back to PDP and sidelined those who are Working ever since he left.....Hmn....Wike would have ginger him to dole out money like tinubu did in Ekiti....we saw what wike did in Edo....PDP will never learn....I want wike to even decamp to APC and teach Atiku lesson of his life

Continue to make useless political analysis while the country continues to burn

seunmsg:
Obi supporters online actually think he has won already even when Obi’s running mate thinks they can’t win with Labour Party

How exactly is it your business?

AlexBells:
Na June 17 oo that's why I'm a bit worried unless they are shifting it or they had submitted I don't even know lol

Let's keep our fingers crossed

AlexBells:
I think you take this thing too serious can't you see Obi is not just a politician but also a magician, we feel entertained, Oya guess his vice right and get 1K card, I know you are okay financially just for the fun of it, don't be a fun killer please.

Nwanne, when is the deadline for submission of the names of running mates?

History555:
Pls all lgbos should follow suggestions of nedu666. Stop responding to all negative news about lgbos. We are not the only tribe in Nigeria. As for me no more response to any thread designed to promote insecurity in the east or ridcule lgbos

Exactly what I usually do. I can respond to any other trash but not on any thread talking nonsense about the Igbos. I think we are beyond those rubbish.

Okhuadams:
He did a not even mention the man that nominated him to be ungratefulness

I don't have all the details but from what I heard earlier, Tinubu never supported him. He was prevailed upon when his dream to run with Buhari was not supported. If that was true, then Tinubu didn't nominate Osibanjo but he had support him in the last minute so as not to lose out completely.

Proudlyomonna:
Honestly speaking I kept trying to understand this thread but to no avail�
What bridge is more than relating social -economically with other Countymen in a reasonable Country where hate and deciet doesnt take the floor?
The Igbos are in North interacting, marrying with the people.
They in the Sw,in every sphere and space of the country.
It's even becoming a negative move bcus they keep flooding investment into this regions, building their commercial value at the detriment of Igboland,yet you se they are not building bridges.
So until I join you to support a politiftian that's when I am building bridge right??

My brother, I tire o. It's either he is not an Igbo man or he is Joe Igbokwe in disguise.

docayo:
I encourage my Igbo brothers and sisters to please start building bridges with other ethnicities rather than the frequent altercations on social media.

If we are to achieve Igbo Presidency for equity and fairness, we will be needing their votes as well.

I believe that Igbo Presidency will bring a lot of good fortune and prosperity to Nigeria. After all, Igbos are good managers.

Dr Mbah Kanayochukwu Michael MBBS,FWACS, PhD(in view).

Sorry to say you sound so stupid. What is your definition of building bridges?

Jorussia:
You have to tell which gathering or event this is before we can objectively comment on this photo.

Don't mind him; Sen. T. A Orji is even in the gathering

obembet:
U deserve cold beer.

Abi u go consider breast milk

That's an intimidating record.

Her stupidity no concern me; na her money she take cook the soup.

Adjovi:
All of u are just shouting what of Russia evades them that's why dey want to join NATO bla blah blah. Why will Russia evade Finland and Sweden if they don't do anything as going against their neutrality? Ukraine brought this upon themselves and if Finland and Sweden are not careful Russia will do the same to them.

What did Finland do when they were first invaded by Russia. What did Georgia do too?

liftedud:
We know is a good candidate but all this one na election strategy

It is not election strategy; he has been this way.

Codeye:
LITTLE BOY? Do you know that in America when the pronoun BOY is use to address a well grown man it the same thing as calling the person SLAVE.
Now let's talk about HONESTY. No politician can ever be honest. There are reasons politics is tag A DIRTY GAME. Obi has nothing to offer Nigerians and that's a fact. You can't go on air to claim instead of borrowing that we should all die of hunger. There are country owing x10 of what Nigeria is currently owing make a proper research. In a country as wealth as Nigeria borrowing is NEVER a wrong policy is there are a well calculated plan on how to put the borrowed money to good use. In developed country borrow money was used to complete most of their capital projects and that's a fact. Take a good businessman for an example his/her businesses can't grow without borrow fund. Look at Dangote Leke-Epe refinery funded by borrowed fund just to mention few. Peter Obi have nothing upstairs these people as just fortunate to amass looted wealth not that they had extraordinary skills or are professional of anything.

Stop making a fool of yourself. Simple expression, you can't comprehend. Peter Obi has never been against borrowing. His argument has always been the purpose for which the money is borrowed. Go back and read the quote. He said, he can't borrow for consumption. Una matter dey tire person

GodsOwnFav:
Its all a game. This is Tinubu's plan. He sure knows nigerians won't vote for him, he knows nigerians are mire inclined to osinbajo because of his age and competence. So what i see is this guy winning the primaries and becoming the flag bearer for Apc. I'm not partisan, but honestly i wouldn't hesitate to cast my vote for him cos i know he has what it takes to lead in this dispensation of democracy.

It's a game.

There is no game brother. Tinubu wants to be president.

Heavensent01:
Tinubu as a candidate will draw a lot of religion controversy but Osibanjo as the candidate we balance it but we need a bold and crazy man to hold this Nigeria, if Northern cabal produce Osibanjo or Ameachi they will caged them, believe me Tinubu is wild to be caged and that's the fear of Northern oligarchy

You never can tell who would be caged until the person gets to power.

omenkaLives:
No one can tell me those vandals aren't affiliated directly or indirectly to PDP.

This, and terrorism, are the weapons they hope would force the hand of Nigerians into doing away with APC. But I've got news for them; come rain come shine, PDP is going NOWHERE close to Aso Rock in 2023, period!!

And the blame game continues

I think the problem is not what you feel for him rather what he could be feeling for you. I am not trying to be conclusive but from what you have said so far, there is a possibility that he has deep feelings for you which he could be fighting to suppress the same way you are doing. Now my advice is, limit your interaction with him both off and online. If he continues to come close to you on the premise of helping your spiritual growth, be decisive and tell your husband. If he understands, fine. If he doesn't, you have done the right thing by avoiding future had I know. Whatever happens from that point, God will not abandon you

seunmsg:
Knew it must have happened during the PDP regime.
freshkpomo

One thing I love about bad leadership and the consequences it carries is that it doesn't recognize party. All of us are feeling it including all APC nairaland robots of which you seem to be the president general. Continue!

Finally, Asari has gone mad
