You guys and critical thinking, Abacha here doesn't mean that he met one on one with Abacha, rather it was a minister working under the directive of Abacha (Ani).
You don dey change mouth here. In your argument with me you said he met Abacha but not one on one. So why change mouth here?

You reported issues about the port to who?
Then who gave the instructions to decongest the ports?


Haaba now, its like being a minister under a President and saying you don't work for the administration.

Yes you can go to any governor’s office without having appointment or connection. People do it everyday. It doesn’t mean you will get to see him. You will be asked why and they can direct you to a different office. You wouldn’t know this if you spend your time 24/7 on nairaland
Oya go to your state governors office this morning and take a picture

did he meet him or not?
Landowner101:
Things will be cleared today


WHAT PETER OBI SAID

“I went to Abacha to complain about the port congestion. He was angry and banged the table and said:‘You’re now the chairman of Tin Can’”


THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE MEANING OF WHAT HE SAID

Obi narrates that Abacha was so fed up with the inefficiency that he appointed him to lead a task on port decongestion hence, Obi’s reference to being “chairman.”

WHAT HE MEANT BY CHAIRMAN

Obi was not officially appointed as:

Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA)

Chairman of Tin Can Island Port Authority (which does not have its own separate governing board)


Rather, he chaired a temporary taskforce/committee specifically focused on resolving port congestion issues at Tin Can. That’s what he meant by “Chairman” not a formal, gazetted, long-term government appointment.

This is why official NPA records do not list him among the agency's leadership or chairmen.


Make use of this information and spot the hypocrisy of the propagandists.

Why is this so difficult to understand? Is it that you haven’t been to see any high ranking politician in power before or what?
Either Obi has a problem communicating well or he just lies for fun. The problem is not with me but the contradiction caused by Obi.
You are saying he never met Abacha. Obi said he met with both the minister and head of state in his interview yesterday. He also made it clear in 2023 that 30 of them were selected to meet Abacha who listened to them and banged the table. He didn’t say the minister did that. Your position is more contradictory.

Opinions opinions are not facts. Focus on the facts and not a few people’s opinions. How many of those were in Anambra during PO’s tenure?

Even if some of them have been to Anambra, those who live there, over 99% of them approve of his governance as the best, especially now that his investments in education and healthcare are bearing fruits, something they didn’t understand at the time
Obiano’s fact is also part of a few people’s opinions?

newsbook:
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.

Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.

Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.

Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.

But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.

He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.

Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.

These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.

The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.

On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.

The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.

A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.

Was it Abacha minister that said they should lock them up jokingly?

Again, we are tired of you people with your constant lies
Have you fumigated your sorroundings from the stench of the BIO-rodents e-pest on Nairaland ? the ibo Agenda being pushed means Obi is a Saint to them . Don't be annoyed by their laughable and quite poor PR.
The St Obi himself said in the interview that " we came to ABUJA , WE HAD AN AUDIENCE WITH THE MINISTER OF FINANCE AND THE PRESIDENT "
Note " we had an AUDIENCE with the president , not we SEEK an Audience !
And the man you quored is still saying he didn't meet with Abacha . These guys are individuals with special needs .

Obi should learn to communicate well. There’s no need to say he has never met Abacha when he clearly met him and was appointed by him to do a temporary task. That doesn’t mean he is a devil simply because Abacha appointed him to decongest the ports (if that is even a true story in the first place).

That is not the issue here, you guys want to spin the argument. The thing here is you guys made an allegation that he was MD of Tincan port and he has debunked it, now why all this hullabaloo of whether meeting him or not? Have shame small especially when you have been sounded out.

It is on record that Peter Obi did work for Abacha at the port for 2 weeks even if as an errand boy but you do not want us to talk about that but a Tinubu that is on record NEVER to have worked for Abacha same you Igbos blames as backbiters.

Can you underatand why all you wrote here did not make sense. Let reverse the roles with Tinubu working as errand boy for Abacha at the port for 2 weekz instead of Peter Obi. What will you Igbos claim, say or do ?!
Can you people stop being Stu.pid you claimed he was chairman Tincan ports, and he stated clearly that he was not,and that he was in a committee to deco gesture the ports. Make una get small shame.

But someone banged the table and made a pronouncement according to PO in his 2023 interview. Its either he lied then or is lying now. Logic cannot allow both statements stand.
His statement has always been consistent that he was made chairman of ports decongestion committee. Where is the lie here? You people should have shame and know when the battle is lost.

bennybuhari:
“’I cannot take anything back about Obi. I said Obi said he wants to move Nigeria back from consumption to production and I said that is not true. He cannot do it because his own business survives on consumption. Is that a lie? He has been an importer and I said he deals with cash and carry economics; container economics, imports”.

“All the goods that can be produced in Nigeria, Obi imports them in his supermarkets. That is consumption economics. That kind of person cannot tell you that he is moving you from consumption to production. He will then be committing self-economic suicide and Obi will not do that to himself”.

“So, Obi is deceiving everybody and I can’t take that back because that is true.

God bless you for sharing this. Imagine how pathetic Peter Obi is, seems they cursed him with lies. We don’t know what to believe now, in a video, he said he met Abacha and Abacha chose him to head a committee on decongestation of port, in another he said he never met him. What a serial liar!
God doesn't bless liars and people out to damage people's names. Even the ten commandments abhors it "thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbour" which is what you are doing. PO was never in any board of any port, he worked witha committee given a temporary task of decongesting the ports.
Re: Peter Obi: I Never Worked For Abacha, I Never Met Him by Irony1:
9jatriot:
You know the man is an impulsive liar. I do not think he was employed at any time to assist with any port congestion. He being an importer probbably just happen to be one of those who complain, so it is possible that the ports management were asked to do something about it. But as lamba that he is, he wanted to use that previous interview to claim glory for something that he most likely had no hand in solving, just that the thing backfired which is why he is now backtracking.

Even now, he is not able to still say the truth that he had nothing to do with the issue of helping to clear the port because that will expose the initial lie.

Person when use em mouth talk say even his family de record am when ever he talk na em, hoebidients de swallow his words like their savior.
Are you really a 9ja patriot or just a hungry liar online hustling for daily bread? PO said it clearly he never worked as Port MD or chairman of any port. PO worked in a committee as a private citizen, helping the government to decongest the ports.
