Let me post this here for posterity, in case Obi later denies ever serving food at children’s birthday parties

It's normal to change your opinion in light of new reality or information. What's not ideal is failing to acknowledge that change in opinion — that's duplicitous.
It is normal to change one's opinion. But if you are leading 250 million people many times you will not have the benefit of hindsight and you must act.
Does Obi look like that kind of person?

Obi is politician like any other politician. He is likely to say such
Stop defending nonsense and whining Nigerians. His followers could be dumb but not all of us. This issue is a major policy issue that made his followers cry the most for over two years on a daily basis yet see the policy somersault from someone who is not in power yet. Who will ever trust a man-baby like this with power?

Lere Olayinka, I know you're trying to grow your Twitter account. You have taken over Onanuga's job as spoke man. You react to anything even when it was not directed to your principal Wike. Peter Obi MUST continue to keep you guys busy to justify your pay.
That’s the issue with us as a nation, instead of speaking to what someone has said you resort to attacking his personality. Obi lied simple! Move on!

The two videos are embedded on the link side by side, the latter is where Obi was boastfully lying and denying ever claiming he would remove subsidy from day one, Lol. How many times have Peter Obi been caught lying, retracting, denying and caught lying again and again?.
Lying and reeling out false statistics have become Obi's brand both locally and internationally. Whenever you hear the name Peter Obi, the first impression you have of him is " lies and falsehoods". Imagine Obi as President speaking among the international community and the international media factchecking him on the spot. That would be sooo embarrassing on the country.


-Kiss the truth!
How many times have they Factchecked Tinubu

He has one wrist watch, picture shows otherwise. He has only one house in Onitsha, evidence prove otherwise. On and on it goes. The lie is endless ..

Why do you have concerns with Lere reacting to topical issues when you never have concerns with Obi reacting to almost every issues?


-Kiss the truth!
Lere Olayinka is spokesman for minister for FCT which means he's supposed to speak to FCT resident on the issues affecting them and the ministry but what do I know about how APC runs govt
More importantly, in what capacity are you attacking Obi? Are you a political appointee or spokesman for a politician?

From consumption to production. Meanwhile, dude has never produced one single toothpick or cassava stick in his entire life. He is a known importer of foreign goods. Calamity.

Thats where he’s creating more problems. He campaigned with “He’ll remove subsidy immediately” so what other reality are you talking about? This same one the country is facing because someone else did or he’d remove it and once he sees the reality he’d back out? Government isn’t science where you test run for a long time before perfecting stuff for official use.
removing subsidy immediately is quite relative, when you take into consideration of the context, I have seen other interviews of obi when he talked about adjusting the subsidy removal to become a gradual process and also providing certain incentives to reduce the effect of the removal, so it is slightly ignorant when people just take his words out of context just to score cheap political points. Maybe he would have removal subsidy while maintaining exchange rate, maybe he would have faced agricultural reform to acertain level of food sustainability before removing subsidy, or maybe he would have secured a certain deal to refuse inflation.

Why not you face the contradictinon in Obi's statement and leave Lere alone. Or did he lied? Why is Obi like a demi god to you people?

The Agulu fraud can't do jack.. he'll just be a lackey to some former Presidents and former Heads of State with no mind or will of his own. Does he look like someone with balls to do anything meaningful? Of course not.

We aren't hating, just stating the obvious.

Tinubu told us that once we remove Goodluck Jonathan, that Nigeria will bounce back and Fuel price/ dollar will drop drastically.......
where is what the lamba said working in Nigeria huh

You all are busy tackling a man who has not become President and who you all can ever understand the wisdom he has over fuel subsidy but left the one who is messing up to be loitering all over the rock looking for borrowed money from world bank and tax from the Masses ...

Remember the musician called Tony one week ? I strongly think that musician stole Obi's perfect moniker long before we come to know the Obi the flip expert. One lie one week challenge will soon begin to trend inspired by the lamba king and proudly sponsored by Arisetv . This , I have seen .

HighQue007:
Anybody against Tinubu is anti Nigerian! in whatever disguise and this is not in the perspective of politics but of patriotism. They are different!

All what Tinubu could achieve in these short time is possible cos he has the legislature in his pocket. I mean he has their loyalty hence he has the control and that is very significant. I cant think of anybody that has such loyalty. He has people accros board. he has in Obi camp, in Atiku's Camp, Kwankwaso and whatever camp you can think of and this is not because he is a president, as he had such loyalty even under Buhari and that was how he was able to win agsinst all of those odds. So I laugh when those old politucians that accusing him of sabotaging their party and even if it is true, they should have played along and fight it instaead of coming out to shout it. it makes them appear weak and vulnerable it reeks of adult that cant own up to responsibility in the same sense making Tinubu look immortal he might be to some extent but not like people think even with the opposition body language they are exergerating it.

Is it Good? It is not to me expecially if the president has dictator tendencies or a bad and uneducated president like in the case of Buhari. But it is awesome if we have a president that mean well and know its Oninions and to be fair to Tinubu he is the best among these minions we call politicians. If you dont understand how government works you cant understand these things. What Tinubu has achived in the=is short 2 years supperseeds what other president did in 4, 8 years and you can say what you like but the fact is there. He did it not only cos he knows what he is doing but cos of loyalty of the legistation. The tax bill, LG autonomy, Insurance and all of the likes can only be achieved by Tinubu and no other politician as at today.

Buhari printed over 20 trillion Naira, took loans to pay subsidy and have multiple exchange rates cos it favoured his tribesmen. No economy in the world could survive this. Tinubu didnt remove subsidy he just didnt continue it. Buhari stopped subsidy as he paid for subsidy only till the day he left office but we dont understand Governance in Nigeria. He absolved all the blame like a leader unlike those shouting sabotage of their party.

If one thing I have against Tinubu is the fact that he is an APC so for that fact we couldnt punish the Buhari administeration that brought us to our kneels. they chose Religion and ethnic over the Nigerian People. Also I dont like his flamboyancy while the poor are going through hard time. its insensitive to me. The masses are vulnerable he should sympathise but showing effort in reducing exccesses. All the unneccesary SAs, private Jets and the flamboyancy in general.


Before you say I am APC or whatever. It doesnt matter and like I always tell people. You do not need to try to fight or win people for Tinubu expecially. he will be fine. I said it when he was not in power not now that he is in power.

If you like yarn nonsense he will win on a level playing ground and an unlevel playing ground. He is way above his pairs and they all know. Obi plus Aregbosola plus the whole collision is equal to 0.87 not even up to 1. dem no reach these people are political bandit and opportunist. I can bet my balls they are not significant. even anywhere belle face Obi.

Now make una Cry!!!!
Thanks for your detailed objective analysis

Until I see Peter Obi joining APC out of fear of being arrested by APC dogs , ......

That's when I can say he is not a good man in a country filled with both corrupt politicians and corrupt supporters....

Modified: go to your principal, tell him to organize one of these listed features against Peter Obi, that one man who has crowd from his constituency wants to add more people to him by joining APC immediately....
