Sowore has always been my candidate.

But the fact you can't even spell his name correctly in the topic shows why he cannot win.

She na spelling we want chop, we need a functional country, can you imagine all those beautiful cities in Nigeria interconnected by rail. That would be el- dorado . In fact I am ready to support any forward thinking Nigerian. El buba from Borno State is another good Nigerian from North East Nigeria. That man is an inspiration. We need many people of such minds throwing their hats in the ring.

it is not about Revolution. Sowore is an untested hand. Peter Obi has been a governor for 8 years and no single dent of corruption can be traced to him. He has never been investigated nor docked on any matter relating to corruption. Peter Obi is Nigeria best bet. Tribalism will kill Nigeria if Nigerians fail to act against it.
Is Obi the Only governor that has not been tried? It has nothing to do with Obi Deen free from corruption,it's just the system we operate that leave a thief like Obi,Amosun and the rest to roam about freely.Obi is a corrupted soul like every other Nigeria politician

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.
Who? The presidential aspirant people contributed for and failed to account for the money after elections?

1. Wrong! I am speaking instead of the dilapidation that existed in Anambra State during the 8 years of Peter Obi's government. Obi left near no development in that state during his 8 years as Governor. undecided

2. We know all of that but that still isn't excuse enough for his deplorable record as State Governor. undecided

3. Stop lying! Anambra roads did not come anywhere close to roads in Lagos State during the same time that Fashola was governor of Lagos State. The state of roads remained generally bad during Obi's time as governor and the fact that less than 10 years afterward, many of the same roads have long decayed means they were not properly constructed to begin with. undecided

Most of the roads that existed during the time Tinubu was governor of Lagos were built by Governor Marwa before him. Yes, if not for the work Marwa did in Lagos State before leaving, Tinubu's incompetency as a governor would not have been glaring. undecided

4. The work of the Police is that, the work of the police. undecided

5. Stop telling us this lie, please! Yes, Anambra, even to this day has a low out rate. That has almost always been the case since even before Obi became Governor of the state. However, this claim makes no sense since there is nearly no data to back the claim you made. Not that I believe Lagos is ahead but just that the claim that Anambra schools are ahead of Lagos, or any other for that matter, is to this day not backed by real data. undecided
Nnaa you seem to be reasoning like Tinubu (It must be a compliment to you, after all you are his loyal fan).
So you are insinuating that the police in Anambra was better trained than the police in Lagos, which was why Anambra was officially touted as the most secured state, when Tinubu and Fashola were the governors of Lagos state.

Security is a 360 degrees engagement. If a state is well governed, and the people well taken care of, by positive government policies, this tends to drastically reduce the propensity for crime and insecurity. You cannot expect that a government that encourages agberoism will ever have better security than a government led by a humble, but supremely capable Obi.

Anambra was not the most secured state in Nigeria when Ngige was the governor. This title only came about, during Obi's tenure. This says a lot about Obi's leadership.

1. You are the one here who reasons like Tambolo. We all know that when you go from State to state even today police effectiveness is not the same, not necessarily. This has little to nothing to do with state government effectiveness or lack but more to do with the effectiveness of the commissioner and the commanders in particular locales within, say a particular local government. undecided

2. Please resist the urge to drone on meaninglessly abeg! undecided

3. Please stop throwing in these unsubstantiated claims abeg! There is no report available at the time that states that Anambra was indeed more secure than Lagos or any other state for that matter. undecided

Sowore is a fraud who survives on activism money. A man who said his party has 38k party agents but got only 15k votes . So he could not even mobilize his party agents to vote him.

A man who has contested twice and his wife or children never accompanied him to any of his rallies as they stayed in USA.

A man who has been called out for using activism name to apply for grant from the likes of ford foundation . Pushes people to get arrested and goes behind to apply for grants.

https://punchng.com/activist-accuses-sowore-of-pocketing-endsars-grant/?amp


I used to support him but later discovered he is a guy man

A man who complains about cost of governance and corruption but lives in hotels when in Nigeria. Remember dss picked him up in a Lagos hotel, after being released in abuja he moved into transcorp . Where did he get that money?


Look at his waec result too. A big time dullard 😂

I decided to obliterate your propaganda by posting this new article.

https://thenationonlineng.net/ig-declares-anambra-safest-since-five-years/

Just to rob a little more salt to your injury, below is a little snippet from the article, that clearly points out the fact that Peter Obi's administration played a crucial part in the security excellence of Anambra

The inspector-general hailed the relationship between the police and the government under Peter Obi, which contributed to the improved security, and reassured Governor Obiano that the police would give him a 100 per cent support to rid the state of kidnappers and robbers.

Forgive me but I have never really been one to take the police at its word. I would rather we examine starts which in fact compare data so we see it for ourselves or have an idea of where the conclusion may have come from. undecided

Obi it is! The new Nigeria will be built on Obi's rock!

As it stands, a Nigerian without a record of employment or criminal record is better than any of your politicians to date. All the supposed temperaments and capacities to handle exalted office of your many politicians combined have cost Nigerians almost $100 billion dollars in the last 25 years with nothing but ruins and debt to show for it. Surely, you should understand by now how very meaningless all of those things are. undecided

He is one of the many kakistocrats we have had in government for the last 25 years, is he not? undecided

Throughout his time in government, how many of the following was he able to concretely establish in the state?
■ Electricity
■ Clean Water Supply
■ Sewage
■ Good Roads(roads built by the ancient Romans thousands of years ago are still very much available to this day)
■ Passenger Rail
■ Security
■ Reliable internet and mobile services
■ Waste Management
■ Strong healthcare system
■sturdy educational & training System
■a Welfare/Social system...

Which of the many states or LGAs in Nigeria today can boast of concretely having at least one of the many basic needs of the people listed above? Yet, every one of your politicians collected a salary(and in many cases extra) without fulfilling their job requirements in all of the last 25 years put together. Come on naw! undecided

I am not campaigning for Sowore; I am instead pointing out that all of the politicians of at least the last 25 years have records that prove them all— no exceptions — kakistocrats. Nigerians do not deserve a recycling of the same group of proven failures. undecided

You claimed Obi was a success but you have no concrete evidence that he indeed was. Don't you see that your ability to assess the success or failure of public servants has been severely damaged by the failures of all of these politicians over the last 25 years? undecided

... from the Nigerian government is impractical, you say. Yet in the same Nigeria, there was a time when there was in fact a working Water Supply, a decent education and training system, as well as a Waste Management system in place. Interesting that you think to blame me for your obviously damaged ability to assess success without undue bias. huh
