Labour Party presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has restated his unwavering commitment to a single-term presidency, challenging Nigerians to scrutinize his political record and personal integrity. In a statement released on Tuesday, the former Anambra State governor addressed growing debate over his vow to serve only one term of four years, if elected president in the future. Obi described the agitation surrounding his pledge as “baffling,” arguing that real change can be delivered within a 48-month mandate by a sincere leader. "What drives me is not personal ambition, but a deep commitment to see Nigeria work. And if the sacrifice required of me is four years of sincere, accountable leadership, so be it," Obi stated. He boldly invited critics and the public to investigate his political journey, asserting that no blemish would be found. "I challenge anyone: conduct your investigations. You will find no stains of rigging or violence associated with my name. I have always chosen the path of peace, principle, and civility," he added. Obi contrasted his political style with what he described as typical signs of desperation in politics—such as aggressive rhetoric, unrealistic promises, personal attacks, and political flip-flopping. He asserted that none of these apply to him. “I have never been desperate in the pursuit of power, or anything else, for that matter,” he said. Obi highlighted some of his past actions and positions as proof of his integrity, claiming he has never engaged in electoral malpractice or denied his opponents fair competition. He insisted that credible governance is possible within a single term. "In four years we can confront corruption head-on, redirect funds from frivolous government spending to education, healthcare, and infrastructure, and ensure the rule of law is upheld." https://voicenews.com.ng/conduct-your-investigations-about-me-i-have-no-stains-peter-obi-reaffirms-one-term-presidency-commitment/

It takes only a man of principles to make this bold statement. Peter Obi is a man of mission. I challenge Tinubu or any other active politician to make this statement. The truth is that Nigerians aren't ready to fix their shit-hole yet. Maybe when people start dropping on the streets because of acute starvation and hunger, we will take leadership seriously in this country. |

Stain 1: Listed in the Pandora papers for fraud and money laundering Stain 2: Demanded 7 billion naira bribe from his successor Willie Obiano for allegedly choosing him over all others Stain 3: Used state funds to purchase shares in the Onitsha brewery to further his own business interests Stain 4: He refused to conduct local government election for 7 years and has not accounted for how he utilized those LGA funds Stain 5: Invested billions of state funds in Orient petroleum refinery without anybody seeing a single trace of the refinery The stains too many but let me stop here. Peter Obi should talk less to avoid embarrassing himself. |

IkeOnyia:It’s not about all the nonsense you wrote here, since you know more than Tinubu, Apc and their EFCC why not go and arrest him ? You think that if Tinubu had anything on Obi, he wouldn’t cash in on that because obi is his biggest opposition ? Sometimes common sense is not common, stop using dog sense to address important matters, every human being look for loopholes but obi has challenged you to come forward with your evidence and arrest him |

TheFreshVanilla:Why are you threatening him? Which of these allegations are false? Are you just hearing them for the first time or you deliberately want to force the fraud on us? Obi is a pretender. He has nothing to offer! Everything the guy alleged him of is true. There is evidence online. Where is the Orient refinery today?

IkeOnyia:1.) That Pandora talk has no weight, you know it, everybody knows it. Mind you, the Pandora papers did not said Peter Obi stole money. Pandora papers was not about who stole money or not. It was about rich and famous people in the world, including politically exposed people that operated offshore bank accounts in tax haven countries. So get your facts correct to start with. And the date the Pandora Papers quoted that Peter Obi opened the offshore bank account was before he ventured into politics, it was before he became Anambra state Governor, so how a private citizen decides to save his personally earned income does not concern anybody. World billionaires, including Americans operate offshore bank accounts in tax haven countries to avoid being taxed for their savings. So if at all the Pandora papers were correct, Obi committed no single crime by deciding to save his personal income earned from doing private businesses for decades in a bank account he opened in a country that doesn't tax investors, that's smart move. 2.) Demanded 7 billion ke, lol, you guys are funny. Peter Obi have consistently challenged everybody on public media to come out and tell the world if he has collected or asked for a dime from anybody ever since he left as Anambra state Governor. He even rejected pension that other rich ex Governors, including Bola Tinubu still collect till today, Obi rejected it from Anambra state, saying he doesn't need it, that he has served and gone. Can you say same for Bola Tinubu who held Lagos state in captivity ever since he left office he has been the one selecting Governors, House of Assembly members, LGA Chairmen, Counsillors, Commissioners, and collecting Lagos tax as if Lagos state is his personal empire or private business he opened for his family. But you lovers of corruption supporting Tinubu don't see it as a terrible thing to do. No nation operating a democratic system allows such, only monarchs and Lagos nor Nigeria is not a monarch ruled nation for one man called Tinubu to be the one controlling Lagos state since 1999, it's a shame. 3.) Invested Anambra state money in his family Brewery business? First, most of you are misinformed due to unbridled hatred. That brewery does not belong to Peter Obi or his family. It's a South African owned brewery, a giant multinational company. Read about Sabmiller Brewery here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SABMiller Obi saw prospect in their business and bought shares there just as he bought in numerous other companies in and outside Nigeria. When he was a Governor, he was desperately looking to attract big investments to Anambra state, he approached this South African firm to come and invest in Anambra, they were not convinced that Anambra will be profitable for them, to attract them, Peter Obi promised them that Anambra state government will give them incentives and also invest in the business to give them assurance that truly Anambra state is ready to welcome investors. That was how Peter Obi invested Anambra state money in International Breweries a South African owned giant brewery that have ended up becoming the highest non government tax payer in the whole of Anambra state today. They employ nothing less than 5000 people through direct and indirect jobs. Can you beat that? Instead of looting the money like Tinubu and other corrupt Governors, he decided to invest it wisely for the state, that is the kind of President Nigeria needs, not the President that loots our treasury for his family alone. 4.) Refused to conduct LGA elections. Already this lie Reno Omockery sold to you guys have been debunked by both Channels TV and Arise TV through live videos. Maybe you were a kid back then, I don't know your age, so let me help you with some background details of Anambra politics during Obi's time. Peter Obi faced a lot of political battles as Anambra Governor. Anambra was ran by godfathers and cabals before Obi came to power. These cabals fought Obi ruthlessly when he tried to stop their feeding bottles. They bought the entire Anambra state house of Assembly who then ganged up and impeached Obi and removed him illegally. Obi didn't fight them physically because he is a man of peace who believes in rule of law. He went to court and won. It was when Obi was removed that Nigeria had her first female Governor Dame Eti-Aba who was his deputy as Governor. They still removed him a second time, Obi went back to court again and won. So Obi never had peace as Governor to start organizing LGA election immediately he was elected. It was from one political battle to another with Anambra political cabals back then. But still he later organized the LGA elections after winning all the political battles and settling down finally even though it was a bit late. 5.) Invested billions of state funds in Orient Petroleum. Yes he was really desperate to get Anambra state industrialized and was doing virtually everything to achieve that and he did achieved it to an extent cos Anambra state now is an industrial hub manufacturing a lot of products you even consume in Southwest without knowing that they are manufactured in Anambra state. Back to Orient Petroleum Refinery. The refinery actually kicked off, but stopped as a result of inter-state land dispute between Anambra state and Kogi state where it was located. The case should still be in court I think. Also when Obi left office, they started having internal management issue plus the land dispute where the crude oil they planned to refine was being mined from. It's a complicated issue. Check the below links to learn further https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/jonathan-commissions-orient-petroleum-refinery-in-anambra/amp/ Why Orient Petroleum Stopped Production https://independent.ng/why-orient-petroleum-stopped-production-chiokwe/ Listen bra, Peter Obi is among the few clean Nigerian politicians if not the only one self as at today. You cannot see me defend politicians like Rochas Okorocha, Orji Uzo Kalu, Ikedi Ohakim, Chimaraoke Nnamani, Anyim Pius Anyim, etc just because they are Igbo. I tell you, no other Igbo politician will enjoy the kind of support Peter Obi is enjoying among none elite Igbos who know and see their antecedents. We hate corruption and corrupt politicians even though you and your people will never agree. Check all the Igbo politicians that once enjoyed good followership from none elite Igbos, they are mostly clean to a good extent, we don't support politicians based on how wealthy or popular they are. Yes Igbos may have unscrupulous people that made their money through criminality and illegality, they may be popular and use their money to buy chieftaincy titles and societal status, that we cannot really control as a people because of how Nigeria has been structured to operate, but when it comes to selecting our political leaders, the non-elite Igbo population despise corrupt people and those who made their money through illegitimate ways to govern them. The only reason you see some of them as Governors, Senators, Reps, etc is because of the corrupt nature of INEC that makes it almost impossible for us to truly elect the people we cherish to govern us, and that is part of the reasons why some Igbos agitate for a separate country, and also part of the reasons we have been begging national assembly to help us reform our electoral system to make it more transparent and difficult to rig so that we can elect credible people to govern us starting from LGA Chairmen, State House of Assembly members, Governors, Senators, Reps, etc. If not for Peter Obi's influence during the 2023 general election, maybe another corrupt, clueless person would have emerged as Abia state Governor and continue the destruction of Abia state from where Okezie Ikpeazu stopped. But take a look at what Alex Otti is doing today in Abia state. He is changing Abia state for good. People on ground are hailing his transformational leadership unlike those that governed Abia state in the past that plundered the state. Even Enugu too is trying even though he wasn't really the people's choice, but at least he is also trying to an extent. Other Igbo politicians and technocrats that will enjoy the kind of support Peter Obi is enjoying among none elite Igbos today are: 1.) Chief Emeka Anyaoku 2.) Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala 3.) Alex Otti (if he continues the way he started) 4.) Nnamdi Kanu (yes u heard me well, that guy is a rare breed even though he have his own shortcomings like the use of vulgar words, etc but that guy is incorruptible and hate injustice) |

All you listed is APC propaganda against Peter Obi in 2023 election because they have nothing to use against him and Obi has debunked it several times. Learn to know when politicians are using propaganda against their fellow contestants. Obi have challenged you to come forward with your concrete evidence and not lies on newspapers and social media. |
