IS PETER OBI AN ANARCHIST? - WHEN BIGOTRY GOES TOO FAR

By Olabamiji Enitan Jowosimi SA, New Media To The Speaker Of The House Of Reps, Tajudeen Abbass

- The government demolished about 2,300 shops, including 5 plazas in Fegge, Onitsha. Peter Obi was perhaps not in town to marshal an army of “activists” to storm the streets in protest.

18TH OF AUGUST, 2024 - ABIA

- The Abia State government leveled hundreds of structures on Government College, Umuahia land, in what was its second phase of demolition within the same year. Peter Obi, perhaps bedridden, could not summon his battalion of “patriots” to confront the state.

7TH OF FEBRUARY, 2025 - ANAMBRA

- The Anambra State government once again pulled down swathes of buildings in Onitsha (Nkisi area and neighboring localities), including massive structures straddling a canal path in Enekwasumpu. Peter Obi, perhaps on self-imposed exile, and unable to assemble his “advocates” to lift a placard.

14TH OF JULY, 2025 - IMO

- The Imo State government demolished a state-of-the-art, ₦2.2 Billion commercial plaza at Naze Junction, Owerri North. Peter Obi, perhaps “menstruating, could not summon the energy to rally his self-acclaimed “unionists” against the bulldozers.

I lay out these chronicles for one reason: to establish the truth that:

1. Routine demolitions are not peculiar to Lagos. They are neither strange nor unprecedented. Governments wield the wrecking ball for many reasons, chiefly when structures violate laws or encroach on public utility. Above are sufficient examples of such activities even in Peter's backyard.

2. Peter Obi himself has worn the glove of demolition. As governor, he supervised the pulling down of buildings - structures that may well have belonged to people of diverse ethnic stocks - and he likely had sound justifications for doing so. Yet the earth did not quake, no kinsman raised a war cry, no ethnic card was played.

So, again, I ask: Why Lagos? Why now? Why the tribal trumpet when silence was golden elsewhere?

3. Suppose, for the sake of argument, Obi was right to be displeased. Then what should a true leader have done? Lead a balanced delegation - Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, all united - to the Governor’s table or the appropriate Commissioner. Demand clarity. Seek justification with dignity. That is the way of statesmen.


But no! Not Fraud Ibn 3rd, he must play the minstrel of division, fanning embers of anarchy, dancing to the drumbeat of bigotry. For if he does not pander, who will?

Now, Behold the Irony: IPOB terrorizes the Southeast, bleeding the land, grounding commerce, and forcing Peter’s own kinsmen to abandon Mondays - the very liver of trade. Yet in such grave crises, Obi is silent. Why mute when his people bleed, but loud when there is an ethnic card to play? Why neglect his own, only to parade them when it suits a divisive agenda? Obi hates Ndigbo, I stand so convinced.

He marched into Yoruba land with a flood of Igbos, as though staging an invasion. No! That is not politics. That is provocation. In ages past, kingdoms unsheathed swords for lesser affronts.

In conclusion,

Dear Sir, you are not the first presidential candidate to lose an election, and you will not be the last. A sitting president once lost, yet rapture didn't descend. Should you run again, defeat will surely again embrace thee, yet our manhood will not lose its ability to rise.

As GEJ declared, “My ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.” And let me declare to you: Your ambition is not worth the sweat of any trader, the tears of any mother, nor the burning of any city (delete that - 'the burning of yoruba land').

This is my verdict - Our Verdict. You stand warned.

Good Morning 3rdly and Severally...

Shall I Begin?

The hypocrisy of Peter Obi and his supporters is just something worrisome.

His own is to cause chaos and confusion with his recklessness.

This same man didn't say peem when Gov Soludo demolished some buildings in Anambra state, infact he Peter Obi went on demolishing of buildings to pave way for development when he was Anambra state governor.

His hypocrisy stinks like rotten eggs

I am very much aware Abia state compensated for the demolition

The problem with Lagos is that some of the places that were demolished, like the international trade fare, have absolutely nothing to do with Lagos state.

- The government demolished about 2,300 shops, including 5 plazas in Fegge, Onitsha. Peter Obi was perhaps not in town to marshal an army of “activists” to storm the streets in protest.

Mr *I'll do one term* is a hardcore bigot. He's a worst thing any living thing should be..

Normally, Igbo have always been bigot. The nepotism you see in Nigeria today, they started it. Their politicians have this tendency of ignoring their own SE region, to focus on another region..

Nnamdi Azikwe did the same thing when he was alive..

Obi ... love to deceive emotional people and people that choose to be deceived.
If he had build trade fair in Enugu are they going to be in Lagos?
If he had done what's right in Enugu , why cant they all run there instead of Lagos .

Did Peter Obi react to the demolishing of some buildings in Anambra state by Gov Soludo? Why has he been selective with his reactions?

This man Obi is the worst political bigot in the history of Nigeria. If this kind of person should by mistake become President, na for others to just pack and leave.
He's level of bigotry from tribal to religious is astonishing.
May Obi NEVER happen to Nigeria.

PigTormentor:
Whether worst political bigot in the history of Nigeria. If this kind of person should by mistake become President, na for others to just oack and leave.

Even devil can never allow such calamity to be Nigeria president

Una go wail tire.

That's a line I learnt from laptop guys on Nairaland

Now, I am using it on you.

True, he is using the pain of his loss to attack a whole tribe.

Olabamiji Enitan Jowosimi is earning his paycheck. 😂😂😂

I also want you to talk about the demolition in the east in which obi kept quiet. Obi is playing a dangerous politics

E get why APC people place focus on OBI.
Anything the man do people will focus and analyze as if na project for University.

It’s unfortunate that political discourse in our country is so often driven by ethnic bias and bigotry. Many of those in public office also seem to lack basic decorum and finesse.

Injustice is Injustice no matter where it occurs.

I said it that reactive measure on the part of SanwoOlu will be termed as incompetency. His lackluster approach was same reason a whole stretch of BRT was burned down in Lagos State

The flame of discord being spread by Peter Obi is clear enough for all to see. Let SanwoOlu checkmate the abuse use of freedom of movement Peter Obi is misusing to brainwash the Igbo residents in Lagos that the people of Lagos state and the state
government is after them and their business.

Peter Obi arrested and detained El Rufai in Anambra for security breach, Obi is not bigger than the law to face similar treatment if he chooses to become security threat to good people of Lagos state

This Apc govt love to deceive Nigerians because Nigerians love to be deceived. They want to distract from Kwara genocide

All above. This is simple for every sensible human to know

"Peter Obi perhaps menstruating ... didn't find the energy to protest'

Why did we not hear a single word from you concerning the below 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What Peter OBI does is what we call eye service. He only knows how to extract the bad side of any news. This is a man that hardly talks about things happening in the South East where he hails from.

You forgot, your own liar Mohammed did same to Jonathan.

This is how it painful oooo, when you wanted power and ready to pull the whole nation aground.

Jonathan built Almajari schs then, your own Buhari, told northerners to reject it.

Tinubu and co, carry oga Jona's coffin during protest in Lagos.

El Rufai spewing sulphur and brimstone in other to get to power.

At the end of the day you pushed most clueless human being to lead most complicated society, this is result today.

You now get there, you don't want people to do the same to you. Not possible sir.

Last last una go dey alright.

If Peter Obi is all that each and everyone of you have decided to always write about instead of focusing on governance.

Una go dey alright seh!

Ohhhh
It belongs to Enugu state Rigth
I see
Thats new oo

With the energy dissipated over Peter Obi by the paid apologists, a non_Nigerian visiting this space will think he is the President

The only reason they are so worried about Mr Obi is because they were shocked how he won the last electon before INEC did Tinubu's bidding

Physical planning in under the purview of the state government. Even FG has to relate with LASG to build

It's just a shame we found ourselves in this mess and I hope we'll have the strength to pull through it all and have a better country.

Sanwoolu is becoming a disgrace to the entire Yoruba. He should have never allow that political bigot near that area.
Time to let these people know who is in charge.
Tell him to get.lost.
Our next Governor has to be someone who has the balls to look people in the face and tell them what we expect of our guests. No going back. We have crossed that bridge, now everyone can see what these people's agenda is.
