Let's tell ourselves the truth, that interview was utter rubbish.
I got tired after 5minutes into the interview when he was on and on about organized manner and when he talked about insecurities, I just knew this guy has nothing to offer
If you fool us can you really Fool yourself,

Lets assume Peter Obi had made a impressive speech will Apc of Tinubu ever acknowledge it or take his recommendations

Lets say Peter Obi was Impressive, whatever he said can it change anything or mark any impact

I dont know what you guyz derive from Supporting Apc/Tinubu at the expense of number 6 ... elo nii 30k kiss

did Obi say anything meaningful in the interview?
He said he will do it in an organized manner, they asked him what's the organized manner, then he started talking about how APC has destroyed Nigeria.
One solution he didn't give.

Yes same way he explained and you people copied it and turn around and said it didn't work. Have your drug baron ever come on live interview and explain how the economy is moving and what he has been doing. The monthly payments must be sustained so that una no go dey come out like millipede whenever Obi is mentioned. Shameless things.

emkz:
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.

That’s not true and look at your deep knowledge, this government shud not be mentioning anything like knowledge or intelligence for they have none , all they have is tribalism
Re: Peter Obi Has Shallow Knowledge Of Economy, Governance – Presidency by profmallor: 7:40am On Jun 10, 2025
Every time Obi talks his value drops. If Obi has been less visible, spoken less since after the elections he would have accorded to himself more respected than he currently gets. There is an aura of power and respect that comes from not saying too much, i doubt Obi sees it that way.

Peter Obi had asked where the savings from subsidies went.





Peter Obi's interview with Rufai Oseni was largely pedestrian, drab and demonstrated limitations. Peter Obi does not think nor articulate solutions.
:
While some people's legacy is a brewery and how he used to buy fuel in government vehicles by himself and how he had one shoe and one wristwatch for seventeen years, Tinubu shows workings:
If Peter Obi doesnt think or articulate solution, it is highly irrelevant cos Obi is not the president and Nigerians didnt give him their mandate


1. are you aware the coastal road is 700km it takes 2yrs to complete 30km meaning 8yrs of Tinubu will give120km .. thats not even up to 20%

2. How has increase in tution improved the educational system, loan to student in a country with high unemployment is that not dead weight

3. More allocations from subsidy removal to Governors how at it impacted or improve any state, mention one project gained from subsidy removal

4. olodo local autonomy judgement delivered last year, but till date no local govt is independent, infact we gave gone worst to baba sope cracy

5. what is good about ASUU and there work environment, are the judiciary really happy in an of baba sope

6. salary increase under triple inflation, 30k of buhari is valueable than Tinubu 70k

7. mention the development and there location

8. why just southern kaduna, other kaduna are not humans

9. insecurity tackled 🤣🤣🤣 you cant shame the shameless sha

10. until election season when Apc will come to divide us again, baba chukwudi no come out

11. Nigerians did not elect Peter Obi, the useless man in aso rock should face front tackle real issues or get the fvck out

Please be bold and mention the name of the person you refer to as a drug baron. Also be prepared to back up that claim when you are picked up.

As for your claim about monthly payment. It is quite said that you attempt to see people the way you see yourself. I am not poor to the point of praising politicians for percuniary gains. If that is your own lifestyle, you and I are not the same.

Be guided and avoid me.

I will only respond to point one and then block you. I cannot respond to the rest because I am gainfully employed.

emkz:
Brilliant.

The young mathematician made some fundamental assumptions. That the 15km/year would persist over the next 50 years, and that road construction would not be activated simultaneously over 48 areas which can reduce the construction to one year. The question would be if the company has the capacity.

The assumption is also that geological conditions would be the same over other areas apart from Lagos. I am only pointing out the flaws in the premises of the calculation.

I like Tinubu for one thing. He is ruthlessly ambitious. When FG was pumping funds in reclaiming coastal lands in Victoria Island that erosion swept away, Tinubu embarked on a project to prevent coastal flooding. Tinubu also started Eko Atlantic City where the US plans to build a structure for their embassy. Lekki Free Trade Zone was Tinubu's idea. That is where Dangote built his refinery. When Tinubu started LAMATA in 2002, it took another 7 years for the results to be seen and more than 20 years for Lagos to have a light rail. If the road construction would take 50 years, imagine the impact of 50% completion in 25 years. If Obasanjo had started it in 1999, more than 50% would have been completed by now using the mathematician's stabdard.

We thank those who criticize constructively to put government on her toes but it is not possible to finish a project of this magnitude at a rate of 6 months. There'd be more challenges because people will complain about ancestral lands and environmental impact assessment by Arise News.

In closing, let us remind ourselves of those who opposed the coastal road:

1. Atiku Abubakar
2. Comrade Peter Obi
3. Arise News
4. Rufai Oseni
5. Obidient Group
6. One dude who owned Landmark and allocated public land to himself and lied to have lost hundreds of millions of dollars investment due to the swimming pool demolished. He had claimed within a 250 m from the coast which belonged to the public held by the government.

While others have kept quiet seeing the folly in their opposition, Rufai Oseni is still spreading hatred against the road.

Whoever doesn't like the road can do well not to use it.

Nigeria is rising.

Have faith and ignore the prophets of anarchy.

If OBi had said something meaningful what will change, does it look like Tinubu listen to anybody other than himself

if Obi had said something meaningful, will Apc dogs ever concur or agree .. abi you guyz think naa small children una dey patronize


I am not looking for Obi to impress Me, You see that dead brain in Aso rock that is the only person his " impress" count to Nigerians.

This your 10yrs old smart boy, i have not heard of his name in his sch oo not talk about in your local government area grin
Does he knw the name of his village?
Re: Peter Obi Has Shallow Knowledge Of Economy, Governance – Presidency by osuofia2(m): 7:58am On Jun 10, 2025
He seems to have a very shallow knowledge of economics and governance. Remember, this interview was even anchored by a member of his Obidient movement. That’s why you don’t hear ‘I put it to you,’ no barking like a Rottweiler. Yet, ‘if it no dey, it no dey.’”

The best way to respond to Peter Obi is with your performance.
All these media attacks and propaganda will not save tinubu.
So Obi couldn't provide "the right way" in the interview?
Okay... let him organize a press conference and outline that his "right way" of removing subsidy
Is that hard?
Re: Peter Obi Has Shallow Knowledge Of Economy, Governance – Presidency by Obiedun(m): 8:06am On Jun 10, 2025

Re: Peter Obi Has Shallow Knowledge Of Economy, Governance – Presidency by Okoroawusa: 8:09am On Jun 10, 2025
AerialMapper:
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.
Why didn't he say what you just said in the interview?

Re: Peter Obi Has Shallow Knowledge Of Economy, Governance – Presidency by Psoul(m): 8:24am On Jun 10, 2025
So, the Presidency wanted Obi to come and tell them his own strategy.
He cannot do that. Opposition will not tell you their blueprint of running a government.
They will only criticize your irrational policies.
If you do not have a better way to do it, you keep fumbling so that the citizen will see ur incompetence and vote u out next election period.
So if you opposition keep giving you the best way to run government, how do you expect them to be voted in?
This presidency is as daft as accused.
Keep waiting for Obi to come and teach you how to run your government.

Obi is a man who has done well on personal grounds.
Lead various financial institutions to success.
Lead Anambra twice.

Remember the debate against Osinjabo the professor? How he beat the professor hands down and yet you key board warrior that had never achieved anything meaningful for yourself alone or your family is here calling him names.

He couldn't explain what he could have done differently.
