I personally do not regard Obi or any Nigerian politician for that matter.....

I know he is playing to the gallery and trying to ride on the growing wave of disappointments in the country over the abysmal perfomance and cluelessness of the Tinubu's administration . Aside these, there is nothing that he has stated there that is not factually correct, politics aside.

I don't believe so but if it's so you're part of the leaders that makes it worse because you have served both at federal and state level as governor. And your tenure as a governor doesn't produce any spectacular changes.

justmondris:
Nigeria is still reaping the reward of the bad decisions that were made by Babangida. I wished he was never a head of state.

Tinubu's bad decisions you mean. No one wished Tinubu is the President, including you

Gbajue no get any sense at all. He go just open him mouth dey talk anyhow. He needs to stop taking advise from mad men in Onisha

Nigeria is better under Gowon when compared to how Nigeria was under IBB. Nigeria under Muritala, Obasanjo regime and Shagari is better when compared to Nigeria under IBB. Nigeria under IBB is better when compared to Nigeria under GEJ

Even your father knows Nigeria under IBB is far better than Nigeria under Tifnubu.
And that's what His Excellency Peter Obi was comparing. He didn't talk about Gowon Govt, Mr Olodo kobo kobo.

Nigeria under Buhari is 10 times better than Nigeria under the drug thief.

Yes,indeed it is far more worse now
Tinubu is a mistake that shouldn’t happen a second time,see the way he has turned everybody in his region to skull miners because of stupidity

ayinde2020:
Ok

So,Is Our P.Obi Now praising IBB
Or what is he driving at?
Or did you benefits from his rule?
In fact, for the Annulments of the June 12, Elections in 1993,No Amount of What IBB did, economically- for 8 years matters again - if Obi can't look holistically,that is too bad!😔
So,what is all this pretending about?
Obi pretentious is an overbloat!
I will never support this,so we moved!
I dislike People who are not Straight forward ⏩!
Kiss the TRUTH!

Hello Mr talkative molue conductor called obi grigory you better go and live in that IBB era by reversing your life backward and shut da fu-ck ok.

I said keep quiet!!! You are too irritating...

You are telling him to keep quiet as per who you be?... Even your tinubu cannot tell him to keep quiet cos he has the right to his opinions whether you or your principal likes it or not. Igboman wannabe.

Shivisee1:
Ode! But if you were succeeded in your plans to pollute aso rock as the president, would he have said the same thing?

The cluelessly naive Pandora Bitters would have been worstest.

[quote author=NLCreator post=126854133]Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

Journalist: how do you intend to engage members of your party who are members of the house, so that they can stand different.......?

hopexter:
OBi always want to be on every news. Dem no invite you for the book lunch yet you still managed to have opinion from your home. If you had ruled and managed Anambra very well, lay a good foundation which the next governors will follow, Anambra will never be in the state which it is today. He present Anambra doesn’t seem like a place ruled and managed by a man who portrays himself like Obi.

Same way Nigeria is not looking anywhere close to the Lagos that your principal claimed to have singlehandedly built.

The government that Pandora Bitters cluelessly made possible

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

Do you need anybody to tell you

Whats is the HDI during Babangida and now? Obi mentioned the criteria he considered

fuckJones:
he lie again,
Nigeria economy has seen a boom since the return of civilian rule. Nigeria’s GDP has grown six-fold since 1999, according to World Bank data. In 1999, despite its vast oil wealth, Nigeria’s GDP was a mere $59bn. That figure skyrocketed to over $400 bn by the end of 2025.

Under the military, press freedom was severely restricted. Whistleblowers faced detention and possibly torture in custody, eg Dele guwa.

Today, Nigeria has a vibrant media with the country also hosting bureaus for some of the world’s major media groups.

I don't want to talk of independent of the judiciary, our electoral reform, etc

it's on record that it was ibb that lay the foundation for what is called Boko Haram today, he singlehandedly register Nigeria as an Islamic state.

The Tax master's regime is the worst, people barely feed, he caused acute starvation and hyper inflation but wants to lead by propaganda, rebasing the calculation of inflation just to tune it down. When I heard he has a first class degree in Accounting and he is an economic guru never knew it was in taxing improvished masses and downtrodden
