Gov Peter Obi quotes that set the internet on fire...

"To you young people, Take Back your Country...it is your future they are toying with". - Peter Obi

"I reduced my convoy to 5 vehicles and you cannot buy fuel unless I am in the car".- Peter Obi

"If I sleep in a hotel and have to pay N250k a night, I will be awake all night...feeling like I was robbed". - Peter Obi

"You know there are many big men in Anambra state, so when they want to see me, I say to them I will come to you instead".- Peter Obi

"We handed schools back to Churches and by 2013, we were number one in WAEC."- Peter Obi

"I beg you to participate more in politics, the society we help them abuse today will take its revenge tomorrow".- Peter Obi

"The only way out of recession is to spend for growth. You can only spend for growth either from savings or from borrowing.
The question is: what are you borrowing for?
Are you borrowing for consumption or for production?
When you borrow for consumption, you are heading for disaster."

-- Peter Obi.

" I had to stop the Presidential lodge in Anambra... A project awarded at 400million. I had to close down state house in lagos and Abuja... Because I felt we dont need it.... Even when other states had."

" They said President Obasanjo is coming... I went to borrow the kind of cars they wanted... Instead of spending millions... From a neigbouring state."

"I requested Obasanjo to spend the nights in my lodge Since they said he must sleep over... I asked my wife to pack out of my bedroom... We went opposite to lodge in a hotel (name mentioned) for the week, we paid N30,000 instead of N100,000."

"I used the 150million for 2 bullet proof cars to buy almost 50 Peugeot cars at 3 million each.. gave 17 to JUDGES and 18 to permanent Secretaries (because i discovered they did not have cars) and kept 10 for govt house... which I used as Governor... I did not use bullet proof cars as Governor."

"They said we should attend world Igbo Congress in U. S.... That the budget WAS cut from 40 to 32million.... I asked them why... That only one person should go and come and tell us what was discussed."

"Instead of paying 30,000 for each security personnel (about 30) per night in Abuja, I told IG to give me Police whenever am in Abuja....I travel alone... Ppl complained.... The 15 drivers lodged in Abuja state house...who come to airport to cause confusion, i asked to go, kept only 3. The others to go back to Akwa or look for job... I asked the cook to go back to Akwa instead of giving him 30,000 per plate."

"When Governors lodge and Govt house was burnt before I came... With budget of 400million and 300 million, I repaired them for 42 million and 80million respectively. They wanted to impeach me that I did not spend by due process... Following the awarded Contracts and contractor.... I saw a table.. That my predecessor used, they said its old... I asked them to renovate it... That all i needed was a table to write as Governor... "

" So so so I was able to save money and made sure that ANAMBRA HAS THE BEST ROAD NETWORK THAN ANY OTHER STATE IN NIGERIA....."

100% support of his presidency , Nigerians needs some one that will spend government resources base on needs and value . The enemies of the masses that steal our common wealth by lavishing and storing wealth for their great great great grand children will not allow him to emerge because he will stop and recover Nigeria stolen wealth and distribute it judiciously . It down on us the majority youths to help him emerge as President for the gov of the majority youths and betterment of Nigeria we will be proud of.

ok

He can go to Pandora to be President. Nigeria does not need a cronicle liar like Obi.

You keep your money because of Tax in Pandora, and you want to be a president of Nigeria

Peter obi is very very qualify!!

Peter Obi anyday anytime, twice on Saturday!!

If only Nigerians will give him a chance. I believe he can steady the ship, and set things right

Nigerians are smart enough to know that voting for someone like Peter Obi as president is very wrong. Firstly, he will not share 5k and bags of rice so why will hungry people vote for him? Secondly, he will destroy cabal system and godfatherism in Abuja, why will owners of Nigeria support him? Thirdly, he will turn the country's economy around blocking all the loophole and thieving career politicians will no longer see avenues to steal. So tell me, why will anyone with Nigerian sense support Peter Obi's candidacy?

Franksomtoo:

Nobody will give a thief a chance.
Obi is known hypocrite. He can only deceive people like una

I will definitely vote Peter Obi for president.

You can hide your money in another country just to evade Tax but you want to be a president of Nigeria where you make the money.
It doesn't work in that way.

You're talking complete nonsense, Peter Obi is neither a thief or a hypocrite rather it's the Tinubu you are supporting that is the well known thief.

Is this a grown man comments about some one personal wealth ? After reading all the great pedigree attached to a wonderful man? If only those addict beasts of politicians that stolen and still stealing our national wealth ( YOU SUPPORT ) can put only their legal wealths any of their choice bank and use government resources judiciously , Nigeria would've become a proud nation. Please post with consciousness.

Peter Obi didn't hide his money , he simply invested his own personal money in countries where he will pay lesser tax. It's just a simple smart business move. There's nothing criminal about it. You need to keep quiet and stop talking ignorantly. You can't tell a business man to invest his money where he will make less gain or even lose it.

A wonderful man wouldn't shortchange his country. A wonderful man wouldn't involve in Pandora dubious activity. Like I said Obi political coverage starts and ends at Agulu.

Can you show me any report from the pandora papers that accused Obi of stealing anything? You're keep showing how ignorant you are. The pandora papers never accused Obi of stealing

Your iragbiji criminal was arrested and charged with a crime. Didn't we see him in the docks at the code of conduct tribunal? He used his political connections to escape justice but his time will come. Obi has never been indicted or charged for anything since he left office you want to compare him with your iragbiji criminal?
