Is Obi now a global standard for politicians?

It’s obvious the world knows what happened with Nigerian election.

Abdulai Bangura, the chairman of the Political Parties Regulations Commission (PPRC) in Sierra Leone, has urged politicians in the country to conduct themselves peacefully by taking a cue from Nigeria’s Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Mr Bangura made this known at a press conference addressed by the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone (ECSL), the Office of National Security (ONS) and the PPRC in Freetown Sunday afternoon.

The commission, PPRC and the ONS addressed the various concerns raised by stakeholders in the elections held on Saturday across the West African country as voters await the results of the polls.

PREMIUM TIMES reported that tallying of votes is ongoing across the different regions in the West African country.

The Obi Example

In the elections held earlier in the year in Nigeria, Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress garnered 8.79 million votes, putting him well ahead of main challenger Atiku Abubakar, who polled 6.98 million. Mr Obi of the Labour Party recorded 6.1 million votes, even as he surprised many by winning in both Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial powerhouse, and the federal capital, Abuja.

The election results are being challenged at the election petition tribunal in Nigeria.

Speaking about the essence of peaceful conduct among politicians as the election results are being awaited Sunday afternoon in Freetown, Mr Bangura urged Sierra Leone politicians to learn from Mr Obi and conduct themselves peacefully irrespective of the results. He explained that Mr Obi’s choice of peaceful resolution of election concerns should be emulated by politicians in Sierra Leone.

“I have always referred to Peter Obi when he lost (the) election; we all know the promise he held when the elections were being conducted,” he said.

“Almost everybody who is anything in Nigeria (threw their) support. But when the results came out otherwise, he didn’t call his supporters to the street to wreak havoc. He took the legal path and by that way, he was able to save his country from chaos.

“So we will encourage all of our politicians to learn from that example. Leadership is about self-restraint, and leadership is about selflessness. So we expect that our politicians will demonstrate this. The process has been peaceful so far so let us continue to be peaceful and promote the interest of our country.”

Contest

The election is considered a straight contest between the president and candidate of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP), Julius Bio, and Samura Kamara, the flagbearer of the All Peoples Congress (APC).

Other presidential candidates in the elections are Mohamed Chernoh of the National Democratic Alliance; Coker Prince, People’s Democratic Party; Jonjo Mohamed, Citizens Democratic Party; Kabuta Henry, United National Peoples Party; and Kakay Iye, Alliance Democratic Party.

Also on the ballot are Kamara Musa, Peace and Liberation Party; Margai Francis, People’s Movement For Democratic Change; Saccoh Dougakoro, Revolutionary United Front Party; Sandy Patrick, National Unity and Reconciliation Party; Sowa-Turay Mohamed, United Democratic Movement; and Williams Victor, Republic National Independent Party.

In addition to the presidential ballot, Sierra Leonean voters also elected members of parliament and local councillors in what will be the fifth election since the end of the country’s civil war, 21 years ago.

That’s the chairman of Sierra Leone Electoral body.

It’s possible he was also in Nigeria during the elections as an observer and saw what happened. The manipulation, the violence and the dejection in people’s faces after their mandate was taken from them.

That’s a man of substance advising another group of men of substance to emulate a man of substance.

Have you ever seen anyone advising anyone to emulate Tinubu anywhere in the world?

Would Obi have told his supporters to wreak havoc on street before?

PO changed the political landscape in Nigeria. He crumbled the powers that be in Lagos and Abuja.
Even after massive, shameless rigging, Baba Bulaba couldn't deny his defeat in his beloved hometown- Lagos.

Even at the governorship, the pointing man had to resort to thuggery, violence and tribalism to win. If he was doing so well, why not let people vote their conscience? But no. They had to manipulate in order to grasp onto power.

Obi is the SI unit of political relevance in Africa. Tinubu and his supporters dream and think of him 24/7. Peter Obi is an enigmatic spectre.

Peter Obi is the best thing that happened to the black race in recent times.

He's a testament to the fact that redeeming Nigeria from our age-long oppressors is possible!

Peter Obi - Yusuf Datti set a gold standard in politics. Even the balabloo-blu-bulava heroin drug baron was never seen as a template.

Peter Obi records are not in the negative especially in respect to drug addiction/baronism, certificate forgery/racketeering, unexplainable stupendous wealth accumulation, personization of government, and above all, electoral criminality.The many moral baggage surrounding Mr Balabloo-blu-bulava is well known to the world.

Nigeria stood still for over 3 days waiting for his comment and command.

If Obi wanted to set Nigeria ablaze, he could have done it but he chose the path of peace.

I don’t expect you to agree, I expect you to continue to argue even if it doesn’t make sense.😏

EVERY COUNTRY SHOULD EMULATE ANYTHING GOOD THAT WILL HELP IT CITIZENS.



I TRAVELED WITH MY DAD TO A COUNTRY OVER THE WEEKED AND WITH WHAT I SAW,I CAN SAY THAT NIGERIA LEADERS NEED TO IMPROVE.





THE NIGERIA ARMY SHOULD GO TO THE NORTH, THE INJUSTICE AND KILLING OF CHRISTIANS IN THE NORTH IS BECOMING TO MUCH,








CHRISTIANS CAN FIGHT BACK TOO.











THE MUSLIMS SHOULD NOT PUSH THE CHRISTIANS TO THE POINT OF STARTING A WAR.












CHRISTIANS WILL SOON START DEFENDING THEMSELVES AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.












JESUS IS LORD

WEALTH IS GOOD.
