Peter Obi CAN, definitely! 😊 Decamping from PDP to Labour Party to contest the Presidency Is the Bravest thing any Nigerian Politician has done in recent times.🙂😎 If Osinbajo had the Bravery of Peter Obi and fight Tinubu hard during the APC Presidential primaries, he would have been our President today! But he chose to be a Boy Boy to Tinubu and Buhari. 28 Likes 8 Shares |

He will attempt to take tough decision but he will backtrack if he face backlash. That is one thing I’ve noticed about Peter Obi. During the campaign, there are multiple times he take some decision that are not pleasing to his mobs, he always backtrack and delete them back and change stance easily. It’s not neccessary a bad thing, but as a Nigerian president, you must not always bow to pressure because no matter what you do whether good or bad, pressure will be exerted. If he faces backlash from big men with better power, he will soften and I’m saying this because it’s very evident in his demeanor. Even Atiku dosen’t seem tough enough to me too. There are few politicians that are truly tough: Tinubu, Wike, Fashola, Soludo, Kwakwanso, Oshiomole, and etc. 23 Likes 2 Shares |

Not so much the tough decisions… Let me put it this way… he would have gotten a different response to some of the tough decisions because Tinubu has more political charisma and respect. Also Obi might not have had the balls to follow through some tough decisions! 6 Likes 1 Share |

Obi was never prepared to be President of the country, he was just riding on the anger of the people due to the lackluster performance of the previous administration. Everyday, many obidients are being converted into Asiwaju's camp. Leadership isn't just all talk and no action. It takes chuzpah to lead a country like ours. Tinubu has so much influence that no one in Igbo land could ever think of having! 13 Likes 6 Shares |

Vinnie2000: You don’t know what you’re saying. Almost ALL politician decamp when they have a fallout with their party. Either at state or presidential level. Atiku did it during OBJ era. Many state deputy governors do it to their governors and etc. Even senators do it better. Osinbajo won’t decamp. He is a professor and I’m sure he would have analyzed the situation to know that he stand no chance against Tinubu at the proper general election. For the primaries, he thought the cabal will step in to checkmate Tinubu. After the primaries, he backtracked and left the scene. Yoruba leaders at top level most time know when to fight and when to succumb. They only go all out when they see they stand a chance. Even Tinubu couldn’t contest at the top level of presidency until the time is right in 2023. Peter Obi have perfect reason to leave PDP. 2023 election is an election of tribe and religion. They know Tinubu will get the primaries ticket, so Obi strategy is just to play the game of “It’s Igbo Turn” and “Islamic domination propaganda” as his tool. It worked in all the middle belt states, if not because the Christians don’t have the numbers, Obi would have been president with the game he played. 11 Likes 1 Share |

iammo: Ogbeni, he CAN take bold decisions. Buhari and Tinubu are from the Ruling party and Both has the advantage of having lots of APC states governors and their National assembly members backing him.😕 Same with Jonathan and OBJ of PDP. But, HE Peter Obi is from Labour Party, a Party formed and carried by Patriotic but non-Political Office holding Nigerians. You can't expect him to be Overly BOLD or RASH in his actions! 😒 5 Likes 1 Share |

Working under Abacha as Board member NPA Where was Obi when Ojuckwu was building APGA?! Enjoy pecks at Fidelity bank and other companies he was shareholders When Orji Uzor Kalu a young Igbo Billion donated millions of Naira during the formation of PDP where was Obi in 1999 1998?!

LegendHero: Ogbeni, stop diz Necessary talks. Obi has done well for Himself! He made LP to become a National Force with 1 state and 30+ NA members! ☺️😎 He is Better than Osinbajo who chose to be a Boyboy to Tinubu because of fear of standing alone.😏 If Osinbajo had decamped to SDP to contest the Elections, I can tell you for free that he would have gotten Lots of votes from Nigerians.😕 5 Likes 3 Shares |

You may want to know why he is called Okwute (means rock or stone) Peter Obi is not swayed by the whims of the elite few. He's driven rather, by acting on what is beneficial to the masses and less-privileged and what positions the people for a better tomorrow, whether or not the political class is happy about it. If he backtracks on a decision, it is only because he has seen it will not ultimately favour the masses in the long run. He understands he is a servant to the people, not a ruler over minions. As for strength of character, Peter Obi was part of the economic team that masterminded the subsidy removal in 2012 (which made petrol to be sold at 140 then). He still confirmed that stand in his campaigns, despite the view of NLC over it. Tinubu on the other hand, was against subsidy removal in 2012, only to make a U-turn in 2023. It is clear who can actually make the tough calls, irrespective of the pressure. It can be confusing how someone so attentive to the plight of the masses could be a tough nut to crack by the political class, but then, it is Peter Obi, a rare breed. 8 Likes 1 Share |
