Why does Obi think he can easily rewrite history. Well he knows his followers don’t read or know history.

NADECO (National Democratic Coalition) was a prominent Nigerian pro-democracy group formed in 1994 to fight for the revalidation of the annulled June 12, 1993, election and end military rule.

Key leaders included
Anthony Enahoro, Michael Ajasin, Ebitu Ukiwe, Oyo Opadokun, and Bola Tinubu.Key NADECO Members and Leaders:Chief Anthony Enahoro: Leader of the coalition.Pa Michael Adekunle Ajasin:

Prominent elder statesman/leader.
Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe: Leading member.
Rear Admiral Godwin Ndubuisi Kanu: Leading member.
Oyo Opadokun: Secretary-General.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu: Founding member and mobilizer.
Alani Akinrinade: Key member.
Cornelius Adebayo: Member.
Bolaji Akinyemi: Member.
Abraham Adesanya: Leading member.
Wale Osun: Acting Secretary-General
Dan Suleiman: Member.
Balarabe Musa: Member.
Alfred Rewane: Member.
Kayode Fayemi: Member.

Key Details About NADECO:Formation: Established on May 15, 1994.Key Goals: De-annulment of M.K.O. Abiola's victory, military exit, and a Sovereign National Conference.Operation: Many members were forced into exile or engaged in dangerous domestic protests during Sani Abacha's regime.Outcome: Played a crucial role in bringing about democracy in 1999.

When all these were fighting Abacha where was the drunk yes daddy man. And he has the temerity to say Abacha was more democratic.
Let's Pretend That P.Obi Did Not Say That or Made That Statement, because it will be an Error of Judgement to say that!
For NADECO Consist Of Men And Women of Impeccable Characters!
Is it Frustration that is making Obi to make such Statements - ⁉️

Obi has said everything as it's meant to be.

That man called Bobo Chicago don't like anything opposing... He was never a Democrat...just pretending like a chameleon.
Were you born when Abacha was head of state? I doubt it. You are free to criticize Tinubu but do so with kommon sense. Only a delulu like Obi will compare Abacha to Tinubu.

But I’m not surprised, majority of the democracy fighters are from a particular region. Others just came to reap where they did not sow. That’s why the fullish Obi can make that statement. Obi was even an employee of Abacha and benefited from the regime, so I’m not surprised. Saying that Abacha was more democratic than the people who fought and forced him to Pallant a transition program.

Don't bother, here is the fact check: https://factcheck.thecable.ng/fact-check-wike-erred-peter-obi-conducted-lg-election-as-anambra-governor/

There was a case in court between Abia State government and FG challenging the withholding of LG funds to states using Caretaker Committee chairmen to run LGs. The Supreme court decided that it was unconstitutional for FG to withhold allocation of LG funds, but still required states to conduct LG elections.

Peter Obi conducted LG elections in Jan 2014. If you like argue about the timing of the election, the constitution should have made that clear just like it makes it clear when Presidential and governorship elections should be conducted. Peter Obi conducted LG elections as required by the constitution, that's the fact.
bring any news outlet from that year not something u people wrote when he was contesting for president.

Bring a verified news outlet when he was governor abeg not what u people wrote just last year

During his military regime (1993–1998), Abacha’s government was widely criticized for human rights abuses, especially against activists, journalists, and pro-democracy figures. His actions included:

Arbitrary arrests and detention without trial
Harassment and intimidation of activists and journalists
Banning of political activities and suppression of dissent
Execution of environmental and human rights activists
The Case of Ken Saro-Wiwa

One of the most notable cases was that of Ken Saro-Wiwa:

He was a leader of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP)
He protested against environmental damage in the Niger Delta
He and others were arrested, tried by a military tribunal, and executed in 1995
Other Activists Executed (Ogoni Nine)

Alongside Saro-Wiwa, eight others were executed, commonly known as the Ogoni Nine:

Baribor Bera
Saturday Dobee
Nordu Eawo
Paul Levura
Felix Nuate
Daniel Gbokoo
John Kpuinen
Barinem Kiobel
Other Notable Figures Affected
Moshood Abiola – detained after declaring himself president; later died in custody
Wole Soyinka – forced into exile
Beko Ransome-Kuti – repeatedly detained

Abacha’s regime was marked by severe repression of activism, with the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and others becoming one of the most internationally condemned events in Nigeria’s history.
Abacha was also the highest looter of Nigeria treasury followed by Ibrahim Babangida. His loots are still been repatriated till now.
so the book u got all these info didn't tell you a single good thing he did?

Careless talk by yes daddy.

The sacrifices of Nadeco chieftains cannot be dismissed because of politics.

You can never be president sir.
Indeed. One thing most Nigerians have not worked out is that many are toxically against PBAT (Obi, Obidients, Atiku, Aregbesola, Malami, El Rufai and literally thousands of others) because Tinubu is not a mugu or pushover like Jonathan.

Instead, he is the best politician in the post independence history of Nigeria at matching energy.

Any man about town would have heard Nigerians ladies say they will "match energy" of a guy. What it means is they are open and will treat you how you treat them. Be mean, you get that back. Be nice, you get honey.

These enemies of Tinubu are upset he matches energy better than others to win always.

To ba fé da si rough, Jagaban ti ready. To ba fé se jéjé, Tinubu ma gbe éh ga.

This is why greats like Awolowo, Nkrumah, etal fell short while Tinubu keeps winning because he can play both ways to give it how you want it.

As politicians, post 1999, have evolved to be evil and desperate sponsors of terror, banditry, executioners of opponents etal, do people expect Tinubu to be playing with them and their malevolence givwn his understanding that matching energy is important to stay dominant in Nigerian politics that is very evil compared to others worldwide?

Are El Rufai, Atiku, Malami saints? Is Obi anything other than a duplicitous charlatan? They are all depressed Tinubu is matching their energy and winning.

No one , not a single person, that has been good to Tinubu that Jagaban has not elevated or defended loyally to even put himself in harms way.

Same Tinubu made Aregbesola a Governor when OBj was determined to crush him. Ditto Atiku OBJ tried to obliterate and Jagaban gave him ACN lifeline.

Short man devil Ngige that Obi wanted to wipe out of the political terrain of Anambra, Tinubu rehabilitated into the Senate under ACN only for the ingrate to state arrogantly he won't support Tinubu in 2023. Baba no talk.

Tinubu is a kind, liberal, tolerant, fair and benevolent man. Yet he is nobody's fool and never a gentleman with those who mean him harm or threaten his ambition malevolently.

This is key to his success against the worst monsters in Nigeria and this is why they hate him with a passion to begin talking crap about him like Obi does always.


Nigerian monsters don't like it when they meet enemies who matches or better them with any weapon to be used in the fight.

Tinubu no dey go gun fight with knife. He arrives with a Heckler & Koch HK416. The best automatic assault rifle in the world. This is their issue with Tinubu and why they have to call him names he is not.

What do you want the news outlet to say? What are you looking for exactly?

Are you more reliable than thecable.ng? What are your credentials? Where is your own source? A random nairalander just decides that news from a media outlet is not credible? Oya show me your own counter fact-check that he never conducted LG elections as governor.

This is one of the most sensible comment I will read on NL. Imagine blaming your enemies or your opponents when you cannot put your own house in order. If you leave your door open theives will come in. Unfortunately most people on this platform are just too myopic and full of hate.
No,they are not myopic and full of hate.
You have said it all that if you leave your door open that thieves will enter.

So,if I leave my house open, either by ignorant or by a mistake, and then I noticed that thief has entered my house and carted away my belongings which I later catch the thief red-handed, you mean if I call the thief out, that I should be termed ' myopic and hateful '?
