Why Peter Obi Becoming President Will Be A Very Bad Thing For Igbos by gidgiddy: 10:08am On Jul 02, 2022
I have always said that Peter Obi is eminently qualified to be President. I have my own issues with Peter Obi but I can never deny the fact that overall, the man did well when he was Governor of my state Anambra. He is a good candidate for President. Personally, I dont think Peter Obi can win the Presidency, nobody in the North will vote for him, no matter how good a candidate he is. Being both Igbo and a Christian has ruled him out in the North.

But in the unlikely scenario that Obi wins, it will be a very bad thing for us Igbos.

If you wonder why, then think of what happened to the last Igbo man who was President of Nigeria. A military revolution resulted in General Ironsi becoming the first Nigerian to be head of state, and commander of the armed forces(before, both offices were seperate). From the day Ironsi became President, his government was sabotaged. There were some power blocs in Nigeria that could not sleep at night knowing that an Igbo man was head of state and commander in Chief. They lied against Ironsi, plotted against him, misquoted him at every opportunity, used propaganda against him, claimed that everything Ironsi did was for the benefit of Igbos, painted his administration black. They even massacred Igbos during Ironsi's regime. When the time was right, they took out Ironsi. To this day, they still lie against Ironsi and claim he abolished Regionalism introduced unitary rule, something that everyone knows Gowon did. They say this because they need to blame Igbos for Nigerias woes, yet no Igbo has been President since Ironsi, 55 years ago

Should Peter Obi become President, what happened to Ironsi will happen to him. There are some people who will not be able to sleep at night knowing that an Igbo man is in Aso Rock. Obi's government will be sabotaged from day one, he will be misquoted at every opportunity, they will unleash propaganda against him, reduce everything he does to trying to benefit Igbos, paint his administration black, and try to take him out. Obi will spend 4 years fighting forces that have entrenched themselves in all strata of government for over 50 years

The resultant effect is that his government will fail, Igbos will be blamed, ostracised and masacared. Many Igbos still dont understand the Nigeria they belong to. It is one where the power blocs dont trust an Igbo man with the Presidency, are highly suspicious of the Igbo man, and they want to see the Igbo man fail politically

A Peter Obi Presidency will be very bad for Igbos. What the Igbo nation should be talking about is independence from the failed British colonial contraption called Nigeria. It will not be a good thing for the Igbo nation, for Peter Obi or any Igbo man to be President of Nigera. If the 30,000 Igbos slaughtered after Ironsi was killed, were alive today, they would say the same

Someone said something yesterday where I was having meeting with a client. He said with what Peter knows and can do, he should forget Nigeria and channel his strength to the SE zone. Eventhough there is no regional government, Igbos should vote in capable governors across southeast and have Peter as consultant to all the states. He said that after eight years, Nigerians will be on their knees begging for Igbo president. He said it and it is still ringing in my ears.

Obi's government will be sabotaged from day one, he will be misquoted at every opportunity, they will unleash propaganda against him, reduce everything he does to trying to benefit Igbos, paint his administration black, and try to take him out

this thing has happened to all Presidents aside OBJ and Yaradua now.



Jonathan was called ineffectual buffon, otuoke drunkàrd and lots more, buhari is being resisted and called worst, fulani communities and cows are taken out as reprisals following any deadly attack on a community.


Only OBJ and Yaradua somehow had a national love without propaganda against them.

If it happens to Obi and in extension, NdiIgbo, it won't be anything new from the names Igbo have been called, or the threats they've been facing in Northern Nigeria after any uprising, they've also been blamed for first coup and other ills so what could be worse than it?



As much as Obi will be voted in by all Nigerians. He will be a failure if he elects to use his second term to attend to NdiIgbo - dredging of river Niger, drilling oil in Ebonyi state, removing insurmountable road blocks in SE, making SE airports accessible for international flights.












Jonathan planned to use his second term for same but was voted out.


Not saying he should only focus on SE, but Nigeria and SE concommitantly/simultaneously/same time.

I have often thought about this but realized that if the Peter Obi administration can defeat all Anambra forces of darkness then the evil powers of Nigeria will not stand him .

Well thought out analysis but Obi is intelligent, Aguiyis blunder was particularly his non reliance on intelligence and not having a good security around him, he was warned many times but people left him to his faith

Should Peter Obi become President, what happened to Ironsi will happen to him. There are some people who will not be able to sleep at night knowing that an Igbo man is in Aso Rock. Obi's government will be sabotaged from day one, he will be misquoted at every opportunity, they will unleash propaganda against him, reduce everything he does to trying to benefit Igbos, paint his administration black, and try to take him out. Obi will spend 4 years fighting forces that have entrenched themselves in all strata of government for over 50 years

The resultant effect is that his government will fail, Igbos will be blamed, ostracised and masacared. Many Igbos still dont understand the Nigeria they belong to. It is one where the power blocs dont trust an Igbo man with the Presidency, are highly suspicious of the Igbo man, and they want to see the Igbo man fail politically

A Peter Obi Presidency will be very bad for Igbos. What the Igbo nation should be talking about is independence from the failed British colonial contraption called Nigeria. It will not be a good thing for the Igbo nation, for Peter Obi or any Igbo man to be President of Nigera. If the 30,000 Igbos slaughtered after Ironsi was killed, were alive today, they would say the same
