Nothing, because Nigeria was a keg of gun powder ready to blow. Imagine spending almost 80% of your revenue to service debt. What do you have left to do any meaning transformation If Peter Obi was to be the president, he would currently be receiving times 100 of the backlashes Tinubu is getting (APC has crazy media team) because he would have to remove fuel subsidy to at least give the country a breathing space which will in turn result into increase in fuel price. Also, he would be faced with the problem of fx subsidy gulping over $2bn monthly from our reserves with dwindling oil production and sales. I think Peter Obi not being the president is a blessing in disguise for him because Nigeria would have ruined his track record by now. PS: If Buhari hadn't won we would have though he is the best leader Nigeria never had, not knowing that the country itself can ruin ones previous performance. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Peter Obi would have done better because there was no skeleton the Western powers could use on him to force his hands to take unconscientious decisions that this administration has taken. Tinubu bargained with the Western powers (UK, US,France etc) and their institutions like World Bank, IMF etc to implement all he is implementing in lieu of not releasing the damaging Chicago evidence and the drug saga truths that would have killed his presidential dream. Don't forget successive governments in the past including Buhari fought against it's total removal (subsidy) because they knew the implications and the IMF and World Bank couldn't force their hands because they did not have skeletons in their cupboards. We are in for a long ride because he cannot renege on those promises; that's why those who voted him should have known that the baggage he carries were not child's play, we await the next draconian policy from him 1 Like |

Vischy: Bola Tinubu is already president. He will remain president till 2031. Peter Obi has been dreaming and hallucinating about occupying the same position. A position he will never occupy till death. Cry, wail, shout, lie, abuse, fume etc from now till 2031, Peter Obi will not become president and Bola Tinubu won’t stop being president. 5 Likes |

He wouldn't go to Dubai with Toke, and paid for oloshos in NY. I am very sure he wouldn't have supported building N15b government house and approved 160m to buy SUVs. |

Not much could have changed but I will likely see an 100% effort. If someone is telling me to exercise patients and cut costs, I would see him doing same. Peter will reduce his convoy, he will not fly to France to rest on private visit when country is burning, he will not recklessly remove subsidy on fuel, the value of my Nigerian passport will increase per say person wey get integrity in the eyes of the world be our president, many African countries especially South Africans will not insult me anyhow. For once, I will see a do as I say president and not another regular flamboyant politician with parasites feeding off him and off our national cake at the detriment of the common man.

Difficult to speculate but I believe Peter Obi would have been well out of his depth. He is a populist and would have just allowed the PDP inspired rot to continue. Less than a year in, we would have done a Ghana and redecimalised our currency. 2 Likes 1 Share |

He built( not repaired) roads and bridges that connected the 176 communities in anambra . He won the millennium development goals award multiple time for being the best governor based on all the indices outlined by MDG for measuring growth in Africa.Anambra was the safest state in Nigeria in his last five years. Anambra before him used classrooms as local government headquarters, go there today as see the kind of structures he built in the 21 local government headquarters. Took anambra from number 30 to number 1 in education.Teaching hospitals nko , agric nko, renovations of all healthcare facilities nko? Orient refinery nko?He was the only governor in Nigeria that did all he did without borrowing a dime from anybody, left anambra totally debt free and never owed any civil servant , was never invited by EFCC when he left office.If he were president He would have channeled the money from subsidy and savings from running a lean government to farmers and lowered food prices and created jobs too because if youths see the crazy billions he is spending directly on farmers instead of the norm on politicians every youth would want to become a farmer instead of a content creator. He would have flushed out bandits and herdsmen about 4 months ago, empowered small businesses to boos economy of Nigeria, used taxes from there to start paying back Nigeria’s 87 trillion naira debt, end destruction of illegal refineries in Niger delta and instead encourage more Nigerians with funding to construct more mini modular refineries even if 500 liters per day with the aim of crashing fuel price. Implementation of the 4 year blueprint for steady electricity he went and copies from Egypt…Nigeria would have come alive under Peter Obi |

Before mrvitalis: After he was confronted with evidence of Obi Gbajue saying the same thing mrvitalis: Yeah, Peter Obi would float the Naira but he wouldn’t do it in 6 months. So, when would he have done it? After 4 years? Everything President Bola Tinubu is doing now should have been done since 1999. But no, all our previous leaders lacked the courage to do the right thing and that’s why we are where we are now. The previous administration created over N20trillion through ways and means without a single dollar to back it up. These trillions of Naira ended in the pockets of folks who are now using it to mop up dollars. So, a Peter Obi would look at this situation and then say, let’s keep the dollars at a fixed rate of N460 so that these folks with trillions of Naira can quickly convert all their loot at a very good rate to the dollars while the rest of us remained fvcked. And again where will Obi get the dollars to sell to these folks at N460 official rate? From Agulu I guess. See, no amount of propaganda will stop Tinubu from doing the right thing even if it will cost him a second term. He will clean up this mess for the sake of the economic future of the country. 3 Likes 1 Share |

mrvitalis:Reserve from where? Una de craze . The whole world is in complete chaos and it’s like you are not aware that Nigeria has been flat broke for a while. Obi is saying nonsense. His presidency will have been worse. The fact is, Nigerians allowing thieves to rob them while calling them big men is why we are where we are. Not because of anything else. We don’t have money or reserve anywhere. It has been stolen or used to service debt. Except Obi will bring reserve from Pandora loot. 1 Like |

mrvitalis: You mean he will go to Agulu and get the reserve his ancestor kept there Abi? When Tinubu took over, we had barely $3billion actual cash in our foreign reserve. The Buhari government sold all our current crude oil production on future contract so where exactly do you intend to build dollar reserve from in 6 months? 2 Likes |
