Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi on Friday said he can govern Nigeria conveniently even without his party having majority members in the National Assembly in 2023.

Obi who said this in an exclusive interview on News Central TV which was monitored by Daily Independent said he had been in that situation before when he was governor of Anambra without his party, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) having a single member in the House of Assembly.

According to him, if the national assembly sees that he is doing the right thing as president, they will join him.

“I was governor of Anambra state without one House member from my party. 30 members were from another party. Now Labour party even have one, this one I didn’t get. No senator, no local government chairman. Everybody was in another party”.

Also speaking on how he wants to fight corruption, Obi said he will lead by example and ensure that all those who come in contact with him also do the same.

“Fighting corruption is easy. If you the principal person is not stealing, your wife and children are not stealing, those around you are not stealing, then you have reduced corruption by 70 per cent”.

As for me, i can't start answering shameful questions from my kids.
E.g; Daddy why did you vote for a president that can't speak or grant live interviews??
Or daddy why does our president pee on himself??
Daddy is our president older than grandpa??
Daddy is our president sick cause he looks sick??
How many of these questions can i even cover-up without looking stupid.
As a father i'm not ready to begin talk long story o.
We need someone who knows what he's doing and no emilokan.
Nigeria no be turn by turn.
Let's vote for competence.
Let's vote for Peter Obi.

If Nigerians like let them miss this opportunity of electing Peter Obi. Na we go hear am las las. Obi is already rich.

...

Good Leadership starts with integrity & trust.

Aspirants that massively bribed & bought the conscience of delegates have failed the integrity test.

Indeed, PO represents the only genuine hope of Nigeria making a revolutionary u-turn from Business As Usual & The Status Quo.

Let's do away with evil Brooms & Umbrellas and vote for Human Beings this time around...

Serious

Another noise from the mediocre governor.

Obi has done it before,

And will still do it again!!

APC urchins behold your president

Ask the agbado and cassava master how he will end corruption

This is how he plans to fight corruption?
Employing the "change begins with me" strategy that couldnt work?
Different parties, same idelogies.

Its obvious Nigeria is heading for an impending doom, irrespective of who wins.
Visa where art thou

Your mouth is smelling na . Must you ask me the question while spitting on me ?

This shows he most probably doesn't understand how the supposed system of government Nigeria operates work and he wants to rule.
He must be joking.

This Igbo man doesn’t even understand politics and governance.

This Nigerians s man wantsn’t even knowing politics and governance

This obi guy and his followers are simply silly and daaft, I must confess. He doesn't understand the intricacies of the position he is running for. Maybe he should go and read about balarabe musa

I can see people saying "this man doesn't understand governance". The typical Nigerian is used to bad governance and suffering, they see it as a norm. That's why whenever they see attempt at good governance, they deem it impossible and unrealistic.

So you're the one that understand the intricacies. Why not contest then so we can vote for you?

He wanted to say he can govern Biafra

JealousCobra:


Obi has done it before,

And will still do it again!!

And he was impeached twice. With the presidency there's no coming back.

Careless... selfish... and very idiotic person....

This goes to show Obi is not politically astute and a misfit to head a politically complex Nigeria. Let's put things in perspective.

Buhari could not get much done in first term even with APC majority in NASS. Why? Because the leadership of NASS were not on his side.

What makes Obi think a president can work with success in Nigeria when the legislative is opposed to him? Obi thinks of politics at the understanding level of a juvenile.

Obi was impeached in Anambra because his legislature opposed him.

If he wins he wants to preside in the midst pf opposition legislature. Has he lost his mind?

Peter Obi is a joker

Ibo love noise.

They do so tey even plane sef gets loud. Everybody in the world buy plane and keep it discreet. You see plane you dont even know who owns it. It is ibo turn to buy private plane. They write the name, write ancestor name join.

I love ibo people. Umunna.

I hope you know this is a 50-seater economy-class commercial airplane owned by Airpeace (the plane is named after Airpeace owner grandmother)?

You need to go to school. Tribalism and hatred has tied down the life of a young boy like you

ImperialYoruba:


Who owns AirPeace, no be Iboman Igboman?
No be Iboname Igboman is printed on that plane?

How many plane do you see with personal name painted on it?

No be loudness be dat?
No be ibo Igbo like noise?

Illiteracy has finished your life. Any day you will finally quit hatred and bigotry and chase money to afford a plane ticket, you'd be surprised that almost every commercial plane is named after people and often inscribed on them.

For now keep allowing tribalism to be eating what's left of your empty brain.
