When I said Peter obi don't know anything about governance I was 100% right. Senator Victor umeh said he supported a borrowing because he saw the need and reasons for the borrowing and therefore supported the approval. The same Victor umeh follows Peter obi anywhere he goes. Soon very soon Victor umuh will abandoned Peter obi just like Kenneth okonkwo did. Peter obi lacks everything it takes to govern. He is a pretender. In his business he uses bank money I mean borrowing from banks to finance his business. Does Peter obi actually understands before he talk?

Obi is always playing to the gallery, and he is too naive to know how the government runs. He is fond of saying things he does not the real fact on. He governed Anambra for 8 years without significant projects he can boast of, hence he uses Asian countries as references whenever he is talking about governance

I believe you must have been hungry not to be able to understand or comprehend what he's saying nor the daring bad borrowing Nigeria is witnessing.
Bad borrowing you say? Did he borrow to pay salaries? Dangote built his refinery from borrowed funds, that's how investment are made, unless you intend to build a beer factory, IGR should be sufficient for that.

He didn’t say don’t borrow, but the one your borrowed show good accountability for it..
You don't expect him to tell you that the funds are been put to use.
His job is to criticize, and he's going to do it. You can choose to believe everything without question

Oga Obi should only be in the same sentence as Ortom and Yahaya Bello, not in the same category of those guys you want to use style to associate him with.

Nigeria does not need a president like Peter Obi, Akinwumi Adesina, Umara Zulum, Prof. Osibanjo Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala and their likes. Nigeria needs a president like Tinubu, Ganduje, Buhari, Hope Uzodinma and their likes.

Obi wouldn't do anything different if he is president. Being in opposition means you have to disagree with everything the government of the day does, if you give them credit then there's no point seeking to replace them.
There's no government that functions without borrowing. His main selling point is they he governored Anambra without borrowing (allegedly) question now is how is the state doing now in the longterm, years after he left office? If you are bold today, future generations will reap the rewards.
I expect attack from his hounds any moment from now...
This is exactly how you were defending Buhari for 8 years and today we are reaping nthe good governance of Buhari.

To answer your question, check Anambra state before Obi took over and check the state after his term as governor. I hope you are not in anyway comparing Anambra state with Lagos state.

Counter Obi's arguments with fact. Since Tinubu took over, with lots of borrowing, how has Nigeria improved?

If they asked Peter Obi how much money have been borrowed, how much have been serviced as debt, he can never have answer to that. Even his supporters can't.

Peter Obi now react to issues for reacting sake, not necessary for his reactions to be sensible, reasonable or logical .

I also want to say something mentality...
You removed subsidy to save money but borrow more than government that paid subsidy. Is the country better under Tinubu in anyway? Keep on deceiving yourselves, Obi will never suffer like you lots.

Yeah when you lot used his policies for selfish gains. But I am sure you can cross on the second Niger bridge, board a train from Lagos to Ibadan, numerous capital projects that were funded from borrowed funds. Yes I defended that.
And I will do it all over again. You should be worried defending a solo beer factory

its so sure for us ni that both the principal and the supporters don't even have much details about most of what their arguments have been all about

Our work till 2027 is just to be pointing those flaws out for Nigerians to see as those who are claiming to be replacement don't have any solution to anything
But Nigerians go to market everyday to buy goods and services right? They buy fuel, they pay for electricity, they pay school fees.

We don't even need to campaign. Hunger will do the campaign for us.

This government policies so far have been benefitting mostly the productive Nigerians. If you are into stock market in Nigeria, you should know how much profits you must have made in a year.

If you are exchanging Naira with other currencies regularly, you will see the the improvement in Naira gaining strength

Now I understand that you and Victor Umeh are better than Obi but you couldn't win class prefect.

Olodo PO is not condemning borrowing but asked for accountability. You removed subsidy and borrowing more than governments that paid subsidy and the country has kept on sinking under your watch with loss of borrowing.

You that understand why Nigeria is sinking despite the borrowing and subsidy removal, please tell us.

Just like how you've NEVER given a reason why. Tinubu should be reelected despite the downturn of Nigeria's economy.

Obedient Food Don Land oo!
Peter Obi is not presidential enough,as till today- he has not told Nigerians,what he can do differently but Obedient are the worst of any reasoning,
For Example - Obi and Atiku- Critisized the- Lagos - Calabar Coastal Highways Roads-Project,a Project Spanning 9- Other SOUTHERN States,yet this Same Project - was on the PDP - Table,for 16 yrs,they Couldn't do a Single Road 🛣️- not even East- West Roads,Not Even Lagos- Ibadan--Express Roads-that OBJ awarded to a Lawyer - that could not do a Killometre for3yrs of Awarding the Roads,but thank God - For Buhari and is being Completed By Tinubu- now!
-How many Roads Did Obi Constructed for his yrs as a Governor of Anambra State - when he was there?
-How many Hospitals was built in the State During his tenure?
- Were ALL THE Workers -paid THEIR Salaries,ALLOWANCES, PENSIONS AND GRATUITIES as at when due- DURING OBI TENURE?
-What we expect Obi to do is to tell us,how he will handle all the Challenges Confronting Nigeria,as he said he knows the IPOB People!
Talk Is Cheap, Indeed, especially on Social Media for gaulibles audiences!

It is gringory that is always opening his mouth on everything even the ones beyond his knowledge and capabilities. But when the people he is indirectly talking to decide to respond, his lapdog will start screaming everywhere that they are always talking about gringory.

Now he has accused the president of something he is not qualified to handle, when the presidency respond, they around deluding themselves that gringory is a headache to the ruling party being the reason his matter is always discussed. Very funny people.
The useless President did worse to Obasanjo and GEJ , always opening his dirty goro teeth in criticism. Tinubu has finished Nigeria.

What has Tinubu done better than GEJ? Can you please explain? He led a very aggressive and abusive campaign of calumny and protests against GEJ in 2012, to stop the then very well intended fuel subsidy removal. The same fuel subsidy, BAT removed on his inauguration day. The problem was not the removal of fuel subsidy, but the delay, beating about the bush and rigmaroling from 2014 until 2023. Nigerians were then further pushed into deeper poverty.

What would Obi do differently? Accountability. Remember that Obi started lamenting just before the last election about stealing of Nigerian crude. Obi gave the right figures of the daily losses. APC under Buhari attacked him, but the truth was glaring to Nigerians who love the nation. The question was how a country with such resources would watch certain people steal resources with impunity. Why would non state actors loot gold and other rare earth minerals in the north and no one seems bothered. If there’s accountability, would such resources not be used to develop the country?

Granted that countries borrow to fix their countries. Do our leaders borrow to fix the country, or they borrow to loot? What happened for example to some of the monies recovered from the likes of Abacha? Why is it impossible to tackle corruption with sincerity? That’s what Obi will do differently among others.

His only legacy we know is that he left Anambra poorer than he met it. The both governors that succeeded him had testified to that!
