Callazaman:
Obi is not your president
Write an open letter to tinubi to clarify his drug dealing past and how he was seen everywhere with abacha and why all of abacha money laundering network are working in real time for tinubi today
That your 30k they pay in your group is a waste

to think that people like this exists while kidnappers and terrorists, rebranded as bandits, reign, is very telling of what APC is about. No kingdom divided can stand.

GreyWolf01:
So long (a ridiculous) letter.

Make demands of the man and party you supported.

If your life is better and your standard of living has improved since 2023, then you don't have to worry about Obi's talking points.


Here are 2 questions for you BAT/APC supporters.

1.) LIST 5 THINGS THAT GOT BETTER SINCE BAT BECAME PRESIDENT.

2. LIST 5 THINGS THAT GOT WORSE SINCE BAT BECAME PRESIDENT. (I'm sure there's at least 20 that can be listed here).

Brother I come in peace, have you thought of holding your Governors and Federal Representatives responsible at any point?

These guys receive enormous amounts of funds annually for allocation and constituency allowances meant to cater for the lives of the masses.
Brother, FG can't be giving money directly to an individual to better their lives. It's not possible! It has to be passed via a channel ( Ministers, Governors, Representatives etc) even Local government Chairmen are not left out.

Let's all have a rethink please.

Sannisege:
Nice write up OP. However, the defenders of the Agulu fraud wil not come here to counter your submission with facts. They will only abuse.

ridiculous economic policy on papers🤣.. but nothing to show for it on ground. Money weh Tinubu used to bribe most governors defecting to APc. He used a legal means to scratch their backs.

Millions of Nigerians are suffering. Even World economic bodies has lambasted his policies, M*gu!. Na that your 40k salary go soon shut your mouth

Open Letter To Mr. Peter Obi: Nigerians Deserve More Than Talking Points

the obsession with peter obi is amazing.

how are you demanding accountability from a person who is not occupying any public office but you cannot demand accountability from tinubu who occupies public office?

what exactly is obi supposed to account for in all you have written?

besides, is obi the only presidential candidate in the country that you guys cannot get over him?

I thought you said he lost to tinubu? if he lost, why are you still obsessing about him?

olushowunm softmirror Sannisege olushowunm pandoragirigory Jonjam269 Ayo25 NewHe can any of you tell me how has tinubu used his time in office so far to successfully tackle corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?

Wow, I love this.


Thank you Mr writer, we cherish honest, detribalized Nigerians like you who have an open mind.



As someone close to Peter Obi and one of his ardent supporter till the day he disappoints, I will respond to some on his behalf.


First, let me correct you, other regimes didn't delay the removal of petrol subsidy, instead it was Bola Tinubu himself that sabotaged and campaigned against the removal of petrol subsidy during Goodluck Jonathan's regime which would have been the best period to remove petrol subsidy when Ngozika Okonjo-Iweala that knows better advocated for it, Tinubu mobilized Nigerians from Ojota to protest against it until Goodluck being a listening and empathetic President listened and canceled the petrol subsidy removal. Now let's move forward haven set the records straight.



If you observe closely, Tinubu's regime copies a lot of Peter Obi's plan, they silently listens to Peter Obi and implement some of Obi's blueprint, I commend Tinubu on that.


Some of such blueprints are:


1.) State Police which Obi have been hammering on. Tinubu quicky dished it out but he still doesn't have the full confidence to fully implement it because he is scared that Governors, especially Northern Governors could use it against him in 2027.


Obi would have set the ball of State Police rolling since and by now, we would have been at the stage of assessing it's effectiveness and discussing how to refine it and correct some negativities in State Police, but Tinubu is not ready to implement it until he wins 2027 reelection.


2.) Second is, let me not go there for now.


Let's talk about Peter Obi's consumption to production economy blueprint. Mind you, I won't go into details because eyes are watching, Obi and we his close supporters have learned some lessons and still learning to guard our words.


You removed subsidy, if truly you did, trillions have been saved from doing that, what do you do with the trillions saved? Reinvest or re channel it to a more productive venture and be honest about it. The coastal highway from Lagos to Calabar is a national waste, it will add no economic value to Nigeria of today. We need short term and long term economic plans but with more focus on the short term plans to get us out of the woods faster before we are caught up.


The North have a versed fertile land that can turn Nigeria to agro hub of Africa and the world if managed properly. Why not channel part of the trillions saved from subsidy removal to that sector and forget about the coastal highway to perdition, a conduit pipe for looting?


Take State Policing serious to return safety to the North to encourage farmers to go back to their farms?


You want a productive economy and you still peg interest rate at about 25 to 30%, how do you expect production factories and entrepreneurs to borrow at such ridiculous rate and meet up? That interest rate is too high for a nation that wants to boost local production, Tinubu should take my tip and work on it.


Creating Blue economy ministry or so is not enough, what realistic projects have they embarked on or rolled out to empower Nigerian youths in reality and not just on paper and on media propaganda?


How can you remove petrol subsidy and also unpeg the FX at the same time and not expect a crippling economy afterwards? You do these things in batches while you observe the effects of each till things come in place.


Devaluation of Naira when Nigeria isn't exporting large quantity of finished products is shooting yourself on the leg.


Who said importation cripples a nation's economy? The only thing you must do is to ensure that you are exporting as much as you are importing until you are balanced enough to export more. But tightening import duties and restricting major/critical goods from being imported when you aren't comparatively producing enough locally will boomerang; it is the reason for the high cost of goods and hunger in Nigeria.


You focus on the things you have comparative advantage not otherwise.


If your climate is not good enough to produce enough local rice to feed your population at affordable price, why not forget about local production and import it and channel your energy and resources to other grains that you have a comparative advantage to grow locally instead of stopping rice importation that you know your climate cannot allow you to produce locally at a cheaper price than import no matter how much you invest in it?


America is a heavy import nation that depend hugely on China because many products they need are better imported cheaper from China while they focus on other goods they have comparative advantage on to boost their economy.


China does same.



Let me stop here, we don't want to be giving free economic blueprint again, I can be consulted for an affordable fee



Why is Tinubu scared of reforming our electoral system to make sure Nigerians elect their preferred leaders; from LGA to Federal level? That act alone will change the destiny of Nigeria for good because as soon as Nigerian politicians realize that only the people's votes can put and return them to office, they will start doing everything possible to lead well to please the masses and not some elites. It will reduce leadership corruption and negligence because every elected leader in Nigeria will take their role serious. Tinubu should work on that, Peter Obi will overhaul Nigeria's electoral system whether it would favor him or not, he will do it as a legacy he will be forever remembered for.

Court and Judges shouldn't be the people deciding who should lead Nigeria as it is today. Why must few men who call themselves Supreme Court Judges be the ones to decide the fate of electoral candidates after election? We must do a way with that to achieve a better nation if we are to remain one nation.

Thanks for this robust reply. They claim to be doing well, yet rig every election in collaboration with the INEC and Judiciary. Why not allow the voters be the true appraisers of their performance by allowing free and fair elections?

APC ran out of ideas

They need expo for the next 2 years

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Atiku/Obi remains the answer!!

Let two of them not be deceived for God sake!

Atiku is needed on the ballot to sweep the north. Obi is needed to divide votes in the south.

Any other permutation will fail against Tinubu.

Tinubu will secretly be hoping for Obi/Datti or Obi/ElRufai or Atiku/Amaechi.

Let the people closest to Obi and Atiku advise them properly. If 2027 is lost, Nigeria is lost to APC.

Now, the lies, insults, and bullying will start. But Obi himself will not respond. It is a strategy. Today promises to be interesting, very interesting.

When Obi goes around and pokenose on virtually every issues he does not have any business with, its is not obsession but when they give it to him back in equal measure, it is obsession. Pikin wey say him mama no go sleep, he should prepare to do vigil too. Trust me from the day Obi is sworn in, that is if he ever realises his pipe dream, he wont know any rest.

Don't even mind that guy. I hardly entertain his . mentions. Every comment of his ends with a question mark. Asking and asking irrelevant questions.

So, of all the candidates indicating interest (Atiku, Rotimi, & Elrufai) it's only Obi that Showunmi found worthy to write open letter to? No wonder, Obi is some people's nightmare truly.

..he is not even interested to know if what he was promised has favoured him & the lives of others & their families...only interested in a man whom they rigged out & said he has only " 4 people tweeting in a room"

..All the massacres & killings happening under his messiah guru strategist..he is also not interested to tell the kingpin to quit talking...releasing lies & propaganda..& instead secure the lives of Nigerians or Show how he will protect the lives or how he has been protecting their lives up to today...

..i don't know what is actually wrong with this group of people...they have totally lost it because of tribalism for kinsman..

You go fear set-up op, abeg carry your vote and give your tilumbu in peace oooo 😏

It's difficult to support you people. Una must still abuse while you can't decipher common logical reasoning that's supposed to yield good results.

Even if Tinubu turn Nigeria to New York, it is illegal. The means in which you achieve any good things matters a lot in law. It doesn’t matter what you do, in developed countries, if you are not clean, irrespective of your good things you will be jail even may be given life in prison. What is bad is bad.

THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU GET TO POWER MATTERS ALOT AND IS FUNDAMENTAL THAN WHAT YOU DO AFTER. GETTING TO POWER MUST BE BY THE TRUST OF THE MASSES. WHATEVER YOU DO THEREAFTER STEALING A MANDATE THROUGH BLOODSHED AND DISFRANCHISING A GROUP OF PEOPLE WILL NEVER BE APPRECIATED INSTEAD THE PEOPLE WILL HATE YOU.

You can’t be called an excellency when the circumstances surrounding your entire life and the way you get to power is criminal and heartless and want the masses to love and appreciate your effort. It can’t work.

When a leader is performing, you got nothing to criticize about. Yes, you actually cannot please everyone, but your actions and good intentions will defend you as a leader, especially when compared to your predecessors.

Obi is the only governor impeached twice in the history of democracy in Nigeria and brought back via the instrumentality of the courts. He was found guiltless. Hahahaha. Are you not afraid of such a person? Even Jesus Christ was accused wrongly and hanged. That's the world where we live.

olushowunm:
Open Letter To Mr. Peter Obi: Nigerians Deserve More Than Talking Points

This is rubbish on an epic scale disguised as intelligence for zombies.




This so-called "open letter" masquerades as a balanced inquiry but is, in reality, a deeply flawed and ironic attempt to whitewash the catastrophic failures of the Tinubu administration by shifting the focus onto a man who currently holds no executive office—Peter Obi. It reeks of selective amnesia, partisan spin, and a gross misrepresentation of Nigeria’s current crisis. Here's a deafening critical response that dissects this letter point by point:


1. FALSE PREMISE OF ‘PERFORMANCE’: GASLIGHTING THE SUFFERING MASSES

The writer praises Tinubu’s administration for “performance” and “political will,” yet fails to mention:

The unprecedented hardship Nigerians are enduring under Tinubu—from hyperinflation, record naira devaluation, fuel prices exceeding ₦900/litre, to food insecurity at starvation levels.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported over 133 million Nigerians living in multidimensional poverty—a crisis worsened under Tinubu’s free-market dogmatism.

The removal of subsidies without a safety net plunged millions into chaos—transport fares tripled, power supply remains epileptic, and small businesses are folding by the day.


So when the letter boasts of “freed up fiscal space” from subsidy removal, the real cost is paid daily by dying Nigerians in markets, hospitals, schools, and homes. That is not reform. That is fiscal sadism.


2. LOPSIDED COMPARISONS: PETER OBI IS NOT IN OFFICE

This letter compares a sitting President with full executive powers to a man who merely contested and is not in office. That is a joke.

Peter Obi’s campaign promises were for when he becomes President. He was not elected. You cannot accuse a man of not implementing policies when you denied him the power to do so.

Meanwhile, Tinubu is in power, making policies now, and should be held accountable now.

Asking Obi for timelines and budget breakdowns while ignoring the abysmal results of the man in charge is the height of intellectual dishonesty.


If Obi had failed in office, then compare. But here, you’re comparing dreams to disasters.


3. ECONOMIC FREEFALL: IS THIS YOUR ‘RENEWED HOPE’?

The author lists Tinubu’s economic moves like CNG, tractors, and floating the naira—but forgets the explosion of suffering that came with them.

CNG? Over 90% of Nigerians can’t even afford cooking gas, let alone CNG vehicles.

Floating the Naira? FX policies under Tinubu sent the naira to ₦1,500/$ before temporary relief. And even now, food inflation remains over 40%.

Job creation? The 3MTT program is laudable on paper but remains a portal exercise with no large-scale impact. No massive job creation has materialized.


So where is the ‘work in progress’ when your progress is hunger, chaos, and more suicide reports?


4. SECURITY: THE BLOOD ON TINUBU'S WATCH

How dare the author question Obi's security plans while ignoring that:

Massacres and kidnappings have worsened under Tinubu—from Kaduna to Zamfara to Plateau—entire communities are being wiped out weekly.

State Police? Tinubu only made vague “talks” about it, but no concrete policy, funding, or constitutional amendments have materialized.

Obi, by contrast, consistently advocates decentralization, while Tinubu has used military suppression and ambiguity as security strategy.



5. EDUCATION, INFRASTRUCTURE: AN EMPTY SHELL OF WORDS

The open letter makes it seem like Tinubu’s feeding program and highway projects are groundbreaking. Reality check:

Education budget under Tinubu is abysmal. ASUU still grumbles, facilities rot, and millions of children remain out of school.

Coastal Highway? A vanity project prioritized over real productivity infrastructure, with costs that lack transparency.

Electricity? You praise 20,000MW ambition mockingly, but under Tinubu, power generation dropped, with over 130 grid collapses and ongoing blackouts.



6. FOREIGN POLICY: WHAT EXACTLY IS BEING REBUILT?

Tinubu “rebuilding” Nigeria’s global image? That’s ironic, because:

Nigerians abroad are being deported, rejected, mocked. The naira is practically worthless outside Nigeria.

Nigeria’s investment climate has been downgraded repeatedly due to policy instability, corruption, and poor infrastructure.

BRICS & G20? Attendance is not diplomacy. It’s what you do with it—and so far, it’s only photo ops.



7. POLITICAL CONSISTENCY: AN IRONIC ATTACK

You accuse Obi of switching parties—but fail to admit:

Tinubu’s loyalty is not to Nigeria, but to a cabal of cronies he built over 30 years.

Party loyalty means nothing when it delivers suffering. Nigerians are not looking for loyalty to party—they seek loyalty to progress and justice.

Obi’s platform switch is dwarfed by Tinubu’s documented use of fraudulent certificates, drug-related scandals, and opaque wealth.


So who really lacks consistency?



8. CORRUPTION: THE POT CALLING THE CLEAN KETTLE BLACK

You accuse Obi based on allegations—Pandora Papers and N250M in a trunk (with no prosecution)—yet ignore:

Tinubu’s Chicago mystery, Alpha Beta probe, drug trafficking settlement, bullion vans during elections, and unexplained properties.

Tinubu’s government is already shielding cronies. Just look at the scandalous reappointment of indicted politicians and refusal to publish subsidy savings.

So who really fears EFCC

THE REAL IRONY: "RENEWED HOPE" IS A CRUEL JOKE

"Renewed Hope" was a slogan. Now, it’s a national sarcasm.

Hospitals are empty, schools in shambles, hunger and theft rampant, and the middle class wiped out.

Yet this writer calls for Obi to show “costed proposals” as if that is the priority when the man they support is driving Nigeria into the ground daily.


This open letter is a poorly disguised attempt at image laundering. It is built on:

False equivalence

Selective praise

Omission of current suffering

Demonization of hope


The author says “truth is measured by results.” Then let the truth be deafening:

Under Tinubu, Nigeria is more insecure, poorer, hungrier, and angrier than it was a year ago.



So no, sir, this open letter isn’t a patriotic critique. It’s a dishonest distraction. And we refuse to let propaganda bury pain.

Obi may not be in power, but he remains a symbol of an alternative. And if this government was performing, you wouldn’t need to attack the man Nigerians hoped for—you’d be celebrating results.

But alas, you have none.



Let the silence be broken.
Let the lies be burned.
Let the people remember what real hope feels like.

And let this letter be torn apart by truth the writer has so far ignored in the lives of over 200+ million Nigerians out here hoping for a better Nigeria

olushowunm:
Open Letter To Mr. Peter Obi: Nigerians Deserve More Than Talking Points

This failed from the begging government has nothing to brandish as achievement no matter how hard one tries. This is because hearsay policies are counterproductive, particularly when the arrowhead adopting and implementing them is bereft of knowledge and an expression of ignorance in economic matters. Now the suffering of the people the government is meant to protect using fiscal and monetary policies has been exacerbated due to lack of basic economic knowledge. Today, Tinubu has done his best and his best has brought woes other than good, therefore, he must go or be chased out in 2027.

Obi would have set the ball of State Police rolling since and by now, we would have been at the stage of assessing it's effectiveness and discussing how to refine it and correct some negativities in State Police, but Tinubu is not ready to implement it until he wins 2027 reelection.


2.) Second is, let me not go there for now.


Let's talk about Peter Obi's consumption to production economy blueprint. Mind you, I won't go into details because eyes are watching, Obi and we his close supporters have learned some lessons and still learning to guard our words.


You removed subsidy, if truly you did, trillions have been saved from doing that, what do you do with the trillions saved? Reinvest or re channel it to a more productive venture and be honest about it. The coastal highway from Lagos to Calabar is a national waste, it will add no economic value to Nigeria of today. We need short term and long term economic plans but with more focus on the short term plans to get us out of the woods faster before we are caught up.


The North have a versed fertile land that can turn Nigeria to agro hub of Africa and the world if managed properly. Why not channel part of the trillions saved from subsidy removal to that sector and forget about the coastal highway to perdition, a conduit pipe for looting?


Take State Policing serious to return safety to the North to encourage farmers to go back to their farms?


You want a productive economy and you still peg interest rate at about 25 to 30%, how do you expect production factories and entrepreneurs to borrow at such ridiculous rate and meet up? That interest rate is too high for a nation that wants to boost local production, Tinubu should take my tip and work on it.


Creating Blue economy ministry or so is not enough, what realistic projects have they embarked on or rolled out to empower Nigerian youths in reality and not just on paper and on media propaganda?


How can you remove petrol subsidy and also unpeg the FX at the same time and not expect a crippling economy afterwards? You do these things in batches while you observe the effects of each till things come in place.


Devaluation of Naira when Nigeria isn't exporting large quantity of finished products is shooting yourself on the leg.


Who said importation cripples a nation's economy? The only thing you must do is to ensure that you are exporting as much as you are importing until you are balanced enough to export more. But tightening import duties and restricting major/critical goods from being imported when you aren't comparatively producing enough locally will boomerang; it is the reason for the high cost of goods and hunger in Nigeria.


You focus on the things you have comparative advantage not otherwise.


If your climate is not good enough to produce enough local rice to feed your population at affordable price, why not forget about local production and import it and channel your energy and resources to other grains that you have a comparative advantage to grow locally instead of stopping rice importation that you know your climate cannot allow you to produce locally at a cheaper price than import no matter how much you invest in it?


America is a heavy import nation that depend hugely on China because many products they need are better imported cheaper from China while they focus on other goods they have comparative advantage on to boost their economy.


China does same.



Let me stop here, we don't want to be giving free economic blueprint again, I can be consulted for an affordable fee



Why is Tinubu scared of reforming our electoral system to make sure Nigerians elect their preferred leaders; from LGA to Federal level? That act alone will change the destiny of Nigeria for good because as soon as Nigerian politicians realize that only the people's votes can put and return them to office, they will start doing everything possible to lead well to please the masses and not some elites. It will reduce leadership corruption and negligence because every elected leader in Nigeria will take their role serious. Tinubu should work on that, Peter Obi will overhaul Nigeria's electoral system whether it would favor him or not, he will do it as a legacy he will be forever remembered for.

Court and Judges shouldn't be the people deciding who should lead Nigeria as it is today. Why must few men who call themselves Supreme Court Judges be the ones to decide the fate of electoral candidates after election? We must do a way with that to achieve a better nation if we are to remain one nation.

Trillions saved in subsidy were unrealized trillions bro..
The trillions saved we all are talking about is if we were to continue with the subsidy program..the money that would have been spent probably in the next 4years has been saved probably from borrowing and owing workers and contractors payment..it’s an unrealized amount!!..
2. You talk about state police as if Obi will be on seat today and just sign state policing into law..it’s not possible without the support of other stakeholders including the legislators..
3. Increase in interest rate was what cooled the depreciation of the naira..that’s why you see the NGX rising everyday…personally for me I stopped converting my savings to dollars and investing in dollars when the interest rate was increased..because it wasn’t making an economic sense anymore to keep doing that..and am sure many other’s also reasoned in that way too..
4. Devaluation has also helped the company where I work a lot been that they are now exporting massively to the UK and other smaller European countries..my salary was increased last year by 70% because of this single effort.
While we keep whining because of our inability to purchase foreign product as we used to before..people are making money and the economy is actually breathing for first time since Buhari’s era.

I have to this question oooooo ,so you need Information from me, other than you to beg and plead

Honestey:
You want expo from Obi? Sidon dey look, Obi will not tell you singbain. Just rescue power from Tinubu for ADC first, the Obi's office of VP under Atiku will handle Economy and Atiku will handle security to build Nigeria to Dubai standard in 2 years only.

He has nothing to give outside propaganda!!..Go and read tinubu manifesto before the 2023 elections and see things that your Obi cannot fathom.

Goodlady:
He go write am.

Babu lakaye. At least calm down and decipher what's written. It's for the good of hoebee.


The op or writer was just asking valid questions so that Nigerians won't jump from frying pan to fire. It's difficult to support you people o.
Common sense and logical reasons are needed.

It's difficult to support you people. Una must still abuse while you can't decipher common logical reasoning that's supposed to yield good results.

..if you are reasonable..the OP should have first asked those who he brought to power..how well they have done in the past 2 yrs..

..it is hightime he should have asked the kingpin to show how the renewed hopeless agenda has favoured him & his family..

..why ask someone you never believed in at first to show prove of what he would have done after rigging him out. & forget about a man whose policies are actually affecting his existence...

..make that make sense....

SeeWahala:
All these Agbad0id e-thugs want Peter obi to stage a protest first before they take him seriously hehehe 🤣😂

You go fear set-up op, abeg carry your vote and give your tilumbu in peace oooo 😏
