Abeg,
Your predecessors did more than this before they got elected.
You went to the airport, (na rich people they go airport),
Your predecessors where frying bean cake in rural area, some slept on torn mattresses and sat on dilipated chairs to eat watery beans
Today,they are borrowing from China without any thing to show for it.
Abeg,

If you're a regular air flyer, you will know that this man is a simple man.
He carries his luggages by himself and relate with people onboard without looking down on anyone


It's a good lifestyle but extremely very dangerous as nigeria's president. Nigeria is a very dangerous place for him to be living like that.

[b]Has he ever done this before? [/b]No is the answer, not any that I know. He is doing this to win the heart of the people for his presidential ambition

You asked a very important question. You shouldn't have attempted an answer yourself based on assumption.

And yes, he has done this before. In 2016, I was among Lagos bound passengers stranded in Abuja airport as a result of incessant delays by our carrier. By 12.00 midnight we were all still there. All hell broke loose when the airline announced that they would not be able to convey us that night after all. To worsen matters not a single arrangement was made for us by this airline. There was pandemonium.
Then there was an appeal by a tiny voice in the crowd requesting that everyone calm down. We turned and behold it was Peter Obi in his characteristic dark and simple attire.

He asked for the manager of the manager and after interacting with the man who appeared helpless, he then some calls. After the call, he assured us all that something would be done. About an hour later we were all surpris d as a departure was announced and we all scrambled into the plane after a weary day. Of course the passengers sang his praise to high heavens that night. This wasn't political as none of us then considered him a presidential material.
So it wasn't the first time.

May I also add that Ayo Fayose was also our hero just like this on one occasion where a similar incident occured. He salvaged the situation but it is important to note that while Peter Obi did his own quietly Peter Fayose handled his own with some panache.

That's my story of two great 'Peters'.

It's always good to be unbiased and find out facts before making judgments. Love him or hate him, Peter Obi has ever been like this. When he was a Governor that he could fly in Business Class or even Private Jets with his state's resources, he was naturally flying economy. I was on the same flight with him and was so surprised to see him sitting comfortably in an economy seat with us on the plane. This is the type of leader Nigeria needs, not one fake pretender who will become president and appoint Lagos agberos as Ministers or SSA.
make una allow person hear word abegi. Same things were said about buhari how is he now? One even cried for the poor state of pensioners in the state when he was coming for governor now even the devil will pity thesame people he cried for.

I refuse to fall for this he'd better stop this antics cause people are beginning to see it as desperacy

If Nigeria and Nigerians sincerely are willing to experience an all-round positive change and development, Peter Obi should be allowed to rule the country.

If wishes were horses beggars would ride.
For Peter Obi to become president, he may need to do something that is extra ordinary. They won't just carry Presidency and give him because he's economically sound and intelligent to rule. Nigerian politics doesn't work that way.
Machiavelli's treatise on How to acquire and retain power may work for him.

Peter Obi Rejects VIP Treatment, Assists Stranded Nigerians At Abuja Airport (Photos, Video)

Former Anambra State governor and 2023 presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, Peter Obi, came to the rescue of passengers who had been kept waiting for over 24 hours at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, IGBERETV reports.

On Monday morning, Peter Obi refused to board his flight at Abuja airport in order to assist stranded Nigerians.

Obi who has been traveling across the six geopolitical zones to consult stakeholders and party members over his presidential bid, was reportedly moved by the plight of the travelers.

IGBERETV gathered that Air peace, for unknown reason delayed Abuja-Benin flight for 24hrs, since, Sunday. On Monday morning, they reneged on the 7am rescheduled flight, for no reason. This led to argument as the situation got rowdy.

While the argument was going on, Peter Obi arrived at the airport enroute to Jalingo.

IGBERETV also gathered that Air Peace officials offered him a VIP treatment by attempting to pass him through a different boarding but Peter Obi declined, and went further to question why ordinary Nigerians like him were stranded at the Airport.

But Obi decided to stand amongst other travelers. He immediately made some calls and all the stranded passengers were boarded.

The over happy crowd erupted in chants of Obi! Obi! Obi! at the airport. Many snapped photos with him.

Twitter user, @Chude__ shared the video with the caption;

Obi or no Obi Pandora, Igbo man will never become the president of Nigeria. It's a curse laid on Ndi Igbo by the late Tafawa Balewa who was brutally killed by the Igbo soldiers who staged the first coup in Nigeria after destroying a perfect system of government where every region in Nigeria control her resources and paid tax to the central government.

And moreover we don't want an Igbo man as president of Nigeria that will encourage sit at home every Monday when we should be at work. Obi Pandora should go and buy himself a new wristwatch. A Fifth class tribe Igbo will never rule this country.

You are contradicting yourself here my friend. If Obi looks humble, then he doesn't resemble a king because all kings are haughty.

If only Nigerians see Nigeria as their enterprise,they will understand that Obi is the best manager to appoint to take it to the fore. But ethnic and religious cloud will never allow us to see what lye beyond our noses.

Honestly
If it takes igbos 100 years to govern this country..
It will take the Yoruba tribe another 500 years

Reason Tinubu have to be on ballot
More reason 2023 is here

Yoruba must be on ballot

We don’t care the party..
We don’t want excuses

Nigerians wan tell them something

Naxo. Election time. Nigerian politicians, very cunning, the people, very foolish. Nigerians only get sense, but after the elections, minus me

No, not for Obi

You don't know him or have read about him.

This is just him, even as a governor for 8 years, he never used siren or long convoy.

I was in Anambra for 6 years during his time as governor. I can tell you for sure.

He is just being himself.

Well, you might have made up your mind to believe whatever you choose for reasons best known to you.

Afterall, this is Nigeria

But pandora touched him, and he also lied about not having a house outside onitsha until he was busted. Dude last week told another stale lie about his 30yr son not having a car as if that's supposed to be an achievement
Pandora is about people that have assets in the panama tax haven.

They did not say it was gotten from illegal proceeds.
Stop projecting your bias.

He also said his 30year old son has to buy a car by his-self. He is not going to buy one for him because he has to earn his own money.
Even his daughter is a school teacher.

I know you won't understand since you support politicians whose children holds billions of naira in portfolio from corrupt gains and fly private jets.

[Just like when he wanted to contest for governor then...Nigerians the most gullible 9f the lot,wonder why he hasn't been "helping" ordinary Nigerians before now.uote author=Tonypens48 post=112717768]Before you open your mouth waaaa to say he is "playing to the gallery of the oncoming election", do yourself a favour of reading more about him and his lifestyle; you will observe that this is just a usual way of life for him.

It is not just about being a leader, but a leader who is accessible and frugal in his dealings and economic management alongside down to earth. PO. 2023
