Peter Obi tried and failed in Anambra. We still have the record to show this. Obi's record as state Governor dey as mediocre as that of Tinubu. We also have records to prove that Atiku and Kwawanso are unqualified for the role of presidency. It makes more sense to hire a novice than to hire proven mediocres, don't you think?

I am not even advocating for the OP's choice;what I am vehemently against is the recycling of failures and/or criminals who only grace is granted them by their running to the Nigerian courts for salvation.

EmeeNaka:
Who investigated Obi on the Pandora papers. Obi brought Anambra state out of dungeon during his 8 years reign. No governor has outperformed him in Anambra state. We know how Anambra was when he began to rule and how it was when he handed over.

∆ Obi is not only a packaged fraud but a totally empty being. The narrative that no governor has performed in Anambra except Peter Obi is a fat falsehood. Ngige set the foundation for development in Anambra state. Obiano continued on this developmental stride.

∆ The list Obi could have done is make Anambra state a mini Rwanda, good sustainable development. But he did what all those fools are doing.

∆ Are you a Nigerian? In short Are you from Earth? Even if the whole Nigerians on social media support and vote for Sowore... With corruption who the corrupt officials support will still win.

Kobojunkiee:
Stop telling this lie. The last election wasn't won by the choice of the corrupt. Rather, it was the courts that was used by the corrupt to declare the corrupt the winner. The numbers were clear that Tinubu did not win at all.

Sowore is better than Obi, Tinubu and Atiku currently. Man has consistently fought for revolution times without number.


But people rather drink their tribal poison.


And before you come to tell me how Obi is better, know that he hid public funds in his personal accounts. There's no explanation for this.

And for Tinubu's supporters? Hold it! I'm indigenous to Lagos. I know the corruption Tinubu promotes there.


For Atiku? His oga called him a thief! Imagine when a thief could call another a thief...you know what that means.



Sowore is young... Una still refuse am.

He has no criminal record like those you choose....una still refuse am.


The problem of the country is YOU.

Oga, this is not about tribal poison. If it was about tribal poison, Tinubu wouldn't win the last election. Go and do your research very well. Not all Yorubas voted for Tinubu. The total vote casts he got from Yorubas wasn't even enough for him to win the South alone. Obi won in the south while Tinubu won in the North which had more votes. So in essence, the votes of the north brought Tinubu in. Well, you can as well say NNPP spoilt it for Atiku.

Back to the original questions, Bro, Nigerians will not vote for someone who will not buy their votes by giving them peanut. All those 3 front runners don't deserve our votes. Those who should be ruling us don't have the platform like PDP, APC and LP to pull crowd. I think that sums it up. Sowore should hijack LP from Obi if it's possible.

One politician says if someone like Sowere becomes president 98% of our political leaders would scamper abroad. Why demonstrate un- necessary when we can bring them down through the democratic process.

If Saraki can be swept away in Kwara that tells me no one cannot be swept away. So let us do it.

Sowore brought in Buhari in 2015. That tells me everything I need to know about Sowore

You are not from Anambra. I am from Anambra. All my living blood relatives are from Anambra. I have spent much longer time in Anambra than you. So I believe I am in a better vantage point to tell you which governor(s) did well.

Peter Obi remains the shining light, when it comes to governance.
He outdid Ngige and Obiano put together.

It was under Obi that Anambra became the best state education-wise
It was under Obi that Anambra became the least corrupt state in Nigeria
It was under Obi that Anambra became the most secured state in Nigeria
It was under Obi that Anambra became the state with the best road network in Nigeria. Ngige started the network, but Obi completed it pro-maximally

Obi left hundreds of millions of dollars in Anambra state accounts before he left office.

The least is endless.

Nigerians especially the major tribes want elite rule from old MEN, which in turn later destroys them.

The major tribes have no glory in them.

They love slavery and were the most enslaved people in the history of the world

Kobojunkieee:
I am sorry, what?

A governor sat back for years collecting millions of dollars meant for the development of the state without doing anything meaningful considering investment and time in the state. But your primary concern is how much debt he left behind for the next governor to have to deal with. Are you for real?

EmeeNaka:
↪ Do you not have savings in your account as an individual even when you have some needs to solve? [b]Even your country Nigeria have savings in billions of dollar and yet can't solve most of her problems. A diligent leader saves for the rainy day. [/b]There is no end of problem in any society and so savings is an integral part of economic sustainability plan of any government. Peter Obi savings saved Obiano when most states in Nigeria were being bailed out by Buhari regime. People that supported Tinubu should not advise Nigerians on how good leader looks like.

Kobojunkieee:
And this is the problem with the story you Anambra people tell of your Obi. He left hundreds of millions of dollars in the Anambra account while lots and lots of works were left undone in the same State. That is terrible government. Compare Obi to Fashola who around the very same time took to embarking on drastic development in his state, and you will immediately see how Obi is not what Nigerians need at all.

I recall commenting on a thread back around the time Obi was Governor where the man was reported to have gone to commission Pit toilets in somewhere in Anambra state. Why would a governor sitting on millions of dollars not have considered instead working extensively on sewage management, clean water supply, and sanitation programs and projects?

For almost 8 years, Obi impeded the progress at the Local Government level. Yes, if he had not sat on the money meant for LGA development and had instead helped educate the people on the functions of the LG, maybe much work would have been done at that level at least but he instead hampered progress at that level.

You say Anambra schools were elevated by Obi yet a drive through Anambra today would reveal that many of the schools in the same State are dilapidated and have been so even through Obi's time as governor, particularly schools in remote regions of the same State. Why would a man sit on millions of dollars and do nothing in those cases? Let's stop telling these ridiculous lies abeg!

OfoIgbo:
■ Obi relinquished the governorship of Anambra more than 10 years ago, so any dilapidation noticed in the schools that your drive through, should be blamed on the governors that took up after him, specifically Obiano and Soludo.
That is the problem with Nigeria generally. They don't believe in maintenance culture, and you seem to be guilty of that as well, seeing that you seem to be blaming Obi for dilapidated schools more than a decade after he left office.
■ On two occasions while he was the governor, the instruments of the state was used in removing Obi, but he had to use the judiciary to come back, so in such a situation, one would expect him not to be properly coordinated, but he performed better than expectation regardless.
■ With some of the funds, he helped to give Anambra state the best road network in Nigeria, better than the road network given to Lagos by both Tinubu and Fashola put together, and in spite of the humongous resources at the disposal of Lagos state.
Obiano even admitted that he built the international airport in Anambra state with a part of the money that Obi saved, so Obi was indirectly responsible for that airport, as he left resources that the subsequent governor used, and Obi was fully intimated of this plan before he left office, as he help Obiano ascend the throne.
■ Obi's Anambra had better security than Fashola's Lagos. The then IG of Police made it quite clear that Anambra was the most secure state.
■ Obi also ensured that Anambra state was head and shoulders above Fashola's Lagos education-wise, which proves Obi used Anambra's money judiciously, so Fashola is not even fit to tie Obi's shoelace.

SmartPolician:
You were making sense until you got to the emboldened. After hijacking it, he will use his blokkos to fund his election 😂😂😂 Obi had to practically tour the world to solicit for funds for prosecuting his campaigns. Una think say presidential election na beans.

Listen, any politican who doesn't have the financial capacity and power to prevent politicians from rewriting the results cannot win presidential elections in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a country with selective justice. Wike rewrote the will of the people in Rivers State and he is a minister now. Since Wike did that without consequences, APC will do worse things in 2027.

The only way to stop them is for the opposition to join forces and protect their votes. That's because the Supreme Court is utterly useless - anything that INEC declares during presidential elections, the judges will validate it and give their nonsensical reasons.
