The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections and former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi on Saturday night spoke at the Havard’s Africa Development Conference (ADC) 2024.

Obi was invited as one of distinguished panelists.

The power to change the price of fuel or declare a holiday for federal and state workers is derived from the constitution and is associated with the Office of the President. Tinubu derived that power because he occupies the office of president, and that doesn't make him the biggest political figure in Nigeria.

True power is derived from the people.

I know say you no go school, but I am not holding it against you. Education can be derived from anywhere; it mustn't be from the four walls of a classroom. I would advise you to read widely, develop yourself, and stop this bigotry.

So what are you doing in Nairaland because you should be preoccupied with designing the machines used and ensuring that there is safety in the processes of producing chemicals?

Ofunaofu:


So what are you doing in Nairaland because you should be preoccupied with designing the machines used and ensuring that there is safety in the processes of producing chemicals?

so u are telling me I should work every hour?
Do u even care if I am into production?

So for example if I have a pure water plant u think I will b working 247?

Even if I am into designs, don’t u know there are softwares to aid fabrication?
U only need your input n your different specifications for designs

See I just want u people to understand that since d beginning of creation people have always had diverse views

D fact I am not seeing things your way doesn’t mean I am paid

I support tinubu n u support obi

It’s fine, do your thing n I do my thing, that’s life

Don’t insult or bully anyone cos of their choice

Who is the biggest political figure currently in Nigeria?

The “biggest political figure in Nigeria” is the man who was invited to BRICS summit, G20 summit, G8 summit, UN General Assembly summit, AU summit, and ECOWAS chairman, PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU.

Not some rabble rouser election loser invited to some mushroom meeting in a university.

Not him, but the office he occupies through the constitution grants him the power to be invited to all these summits.

Election are long over and when the election is over governance begins

Move on bro and stop being stocked

COMRADES, Peter Obi the tormentor and nightmare of all apc worldwide

Shut up.

Is Tinubu the only African president with “powers of constitution”?

Why did not invite every African president?

If Tinubu was some useless dictator or something he would never be invited to any summit, regardless of ‘constitution’.

Rossikk:


Shut up.

If Tinubu was some useless dictator or something he would never be invited to any summit.

Have you ever read the Nigerian constitution

It's not about insults. Read to be enlightened

Why wasn't tinibu invited? Peter Obi is now the defacto president of nigeria.

Africa development in 2024 with 1924 infrastructure?

You cannot give what you do not have.

Ofunaofu:

You have no brain.

Any president can become a dictator if they put their mind to it.

You think countries with dictators did not have a constitution before becoming dictatorships?

A WHOLE NIGERIAN PRESIDENT SHOULD LEAVE HIS WORK TO ATTEND A USELESS UNIVERSITY MEETING IN AMERICA?

YOU PEOPLE ARE JUST ILLITERATES.

TRADERS WITH INTERNET ACCESS.

OF COURSE IF HE WENT THERE, YOU WILL STILL BE THE ONES TO ABUSE HIM FOR WASTING HIS TIME THERE.

IPOB EMERGENCY NIGERIANS.

Are we talking about some dictatorship or talking about roles conferred by the constitution to the office of the president
