His interview at Arise TV was very poor.


Omoyele Sowore has never been poor at the face of cameras....Peter Obi really fumbled!
But the questions he asked, did you in any way understand them?
Re: Peter Obi Has Shallow Knowledge Of Economy, Governance – Presidency by Chucks13: 5:42am On Jun 10, 2025
Not just shallow knowledge, obi has no knowledge at all infact I thank God everyday I wake up that Nigeria escaped the bullet he would have be the worst president in Africa history and he will be brutal than Idi Ami and Mobutu put together. Obi has no leadership brain only okrika business brain he has.

Presidency of attack...... Give us governance and leave who's shallow in knowledge. You are shallow in governance
No Sir... The shallow one is this intellectual 419 called Peter Obi. If you have not watched the interview , please go and watch it and you will know how hollow, fake and clueless peter obi is.
The interview exposes a troubling lack of substance — and worse, a streak of intellectual dishonesty. He dodges specifics, recycles vague promises, and hopes no one notices he’s skating on thin ice.

Yes ... We all did.... they were simple enough...
Obi Brought Nothing, and Rufai Asked for Even Less

It was a damning indictment of both interviewer and guest

An organised manner means dealing with the corruption behind the subsidy and not the subsidey itself!

Everyone knows the subsidy claim was grossly inflated. The country was not consuming the daily amount of products quoted and this figure was the basis for the subsidy calculation. If this was tackled, then it would have dropped to payment drastically.

All Obi is saying is that you cannot remove the subsidy and float the naira at once thereby burdening the citizens! What Obi is saying is that other governments had programmes that they used the savings for. There was PTF and there was SURE P... this government has given more money to the states from the savings but this is clearly not working. Youve just made richer governors . Then a huge chunk has gone to a contract to the company of your bosom friend. Clearly, the savings were not for the benefit of the people but to coerce the governors for their support (which is working) and enrich cronies.

It's very clear now that oppositions especially Mr Obi has nothing so special they want to offer Nigerians than what this present government is offering Nigerians they only want to have a taste of power except that Mr Obi promise to dismantle church and turn night vigil to night shift.

Peter Obi cannot string two sentences together, after decades of exposure to public life. My 10 year Old boy is way brighter than this dullard. Yet some low IQed Nigerians find in him their Messiah! This is very pathetic, to say the least.

Peter Obi had a 3rd Class in Philosophy. From a region full of miracle centers.

8 years after ruling Anambra, ran away to Lagos abandoning the less privileged there.

Yet the same folks still tried to package him as the Messiah, showing as dull as Peter is, he's still smarter

What do you expect?

You are right. Someone who could not explain for 5 minutes how he solved a problem. His ideas in the past:

1. Rufai Oseni: How would you solve economic crisis?

Peter Obi: Thank you for that question. I just came back from the prison. If you want, you can come with me. Rufai, the prisoners knew I came to talk to them.

2. Reuben Abati: How would you tackle corruption.

Peter Obi: Thank you Reuben. Very simple. The problem of corruption is that we have too many tollgates. If I am not corrupt and my wife is not corrupt, we have solved corruption.

3. Rufai Oseni: We need to see your manifesto.

Peter Obi: There is no better manifesto than what I am saying with my mouth. Is that one that people will remember. No, no, no. Even in my house o, its now difficult to hold family meeting because they will tape it and in future say, "dad, you told us that during summer, we will travel to this place". They will tape what you say and wait for you.

4. Okey Bakassi: What did you do as governor of Anambra state?

Peter Obi: China went back to China. In China, you know I have to speak about what China has done.

Okey Bakassi: No, let's talk about your tenure in Anambra state.

Peter Obi: I don't want to say what I did when I was governor in Anambra state.

There is nothing above that Peter Obi did not say in answering questions. Let the logically blind and emotionally hyperactive remove the blinders and assess this man and be frank to themselves.

We want a rich discussion in the political space. We want to see a competition of ideas. We want to see alternative views. Celebration of mediocrity is a political abomination.
How market today

Rufai Oseni still collected some shots.

Peter Obi had asked where the savings from subsidies went.



Peter Obi also argued that you can't prioritize coastal road over tackling insecurity.

Peter Obi's interview with Rufai Oseni was largely pedestrian, drab and demonstrated limitations. Peter Obi does not think nor articulate solutions. He hardly gas solutions. When asked about tackling the crisis in LP, he said it was caused by government. When pushed to supply proof, he started derailing. Some Nairalanders believe he is the solution to Nigeria's problems. You only need to read their submissions to see the simulation of emptiness that is the motivation of the movement.
Okay let's debunk this rubbish you put up here.
1. The costal highway is not done solely by the government but a PPP. Also its not eben up to 30km. Furthermore, its only about 4% done and at this rate will take 50 years to finish cause the road passes through the creeks of the Niger Delta. We're talking of deep swamps. That's where serious construction will happen and if it will take 2 years to construct 20+km of road that's not swamp, I can't imagine how long it will take to build road in swamps. It's a white elephant project and a waste of our resources.
2. Oil subsidy isn't gone. The CBN confirmed this few months ago. The landing cost of PMS is still greater than it's selling price. And states are not solvent. According to latest reports, states have accrued domestic debts of iver 40 trillion. Also, increased allocations are just a mirage cause the intrinsic value if money has been wiped off. So, in fact, allocations are still the sane in terms of purchasing power if nit even less.

LG autonomy? That's a farce. The state governments are still in control. Also, Tinubu has been using LG funds as a tool to force governors to do his biddings. So, LG are now under Tinubu. Also, LG matter was a matter of law not savings from subsidy.

The reason we've not heard much from ASUU is that Tinubu has astronomically increased fees in all federal varsities. A lot of students have dropped out but guess what, there's money for the government and that's all that matters to your Kord and Savior.

Salaries of workers were increases generally. Even though 70k still puts people below the poverty line. The increase in salaries came with months of labor dispute and even strike. It's not like Tinubu did it by himself. He was forced to do it. Give kudos to NLC for it and not Tinubu.

Development commissions are just cindit pipes to siphon money. Tinubu as a crook that he us used that to settle people. Remember Akpabio with NDCC? We know how these things go.

Southern Kaduna. The FMC was only approved. It has not yet been built. Tat could take another 10 years. The university also is only a medical one and not a comprehensive one. Also, it has not yet kicked off.

I won't even talk about insecurity. It's a distasteful thing to say the government is making any headway on insecurity. So I'll allow you wallow in your illusion.

Nigeria has never been more divided. Ronu is one proof of that.

But, I agree with you on the last point. Cause that's the only achievement of Tinubu in two years now. He won the election. Tinubu and APC hasn't moved on from the elections. So, yeah hold on to that achievement. Tinubu won the election.

But supporting a Tinubu that removed sibsidy without any solid contingence plan But " sharing Rice" is not pathetic

A govt that believes in robbing the poor to enrich the rich, more money to governor more money to senators where the people are drowning in poverty

thats the govt you support you are not better than a 10yr old child

If Obi had been able to articulate his ideas this way... Twitter would be on a frenzy by now.
I put it to you, you'll make a far better president than Obi.
At the very least, you can clearly tell us what you think should have been done!
Obi could not!

oga,
Peter Obi is not owing anybody in this country. He is not in power. Let your president show us what he has been doing.

If the father is this senseless, I wonder what the so-called 10 year old boy he raised would be.

Killing the opposition with the workings of your good governance and not cho cho cho, everytime accountability is demanded from you guys.
