grin indeed, and yet he couldn’t develop tiny Anambala to attract investors and destinations choice for economic migrants……pls list his landmarks achievements in infrastructure and human capital development and how he turn around the economy of Anambala in 8yrs as governor? grin he was not even in the top 5 best governors of his time where we have fashola of Lagos, akapbio of akwa ibom and ameachi of rivers who made marks and had visible landmarks, yet you think such failure as what it takes to make any meaningful investment in 4yrs?😂😂😂 we know you clowns are desperate to have an ibo plesident but obi is bad market and no one is buying his Lies…..the religious propaganda, which he used to sway Christian votes won’t work for him in 2027 and he would record lesser vote than he did in 2023 and still end up a distant third, winning the Bronze medal grin
No be una fault, it's because nigeria is a lawless country and real votes are not allowed to count. If not, people like you will not have the energy or audacity to be making a case for failure and insisting this current govt will return in 2027.

The ones you mentioned, how have they turned their states into investment destinations? joker

Even the lagos you mentioned, lagos is not what it is commercially because of the brilliance of any governor, it is the design of the colonial powers that lagos should be the commercial nerve of Nigeria.

Generally, with the fraudulent constitution and false federalism yall practice in nigeria, there's little a state governor can do to bring real development to his state.

During obi's time as gov, electricity wasn't in the concurrent list so he couldn't fix it.

Because of lack of resourse control, states don't quite have the kind of funds needed to embark on real developmental projects with decent speed. Fg sits on all oil reserves and other resources.

So presidency is where obi can demonstrate the full extent of his competence.

You know all these but your paid sentiments won't let you see it.

I just hope ordinary Nigerian voters will take opinions of folks like you for a pinch of salt

maybe you think you are talking to your kid siblings, every anambrarian was tired of obi as a governor, Ojukwu had to campaign for obi for his second term from sick bed and that was what saved obi.

Every obi praise singer today that was an adult during his time as governor once castigated and insulted him.

That igbos don’t condone bad leadership hahahahahahhaha, abaribe is one of the longest serving senator in the history of Nigeria and he is still going just because the people voting him are from sokoto hahaha

To your last paragraph, show me any Igbo man representing or governing another Igbo a state away from his state of origin

Can you live in your state , can you swear that you are not writing from a south south or south west or any northern state?

Empty chest beater.
You are wasting my time so it is pointless engaging you any further.

It is better I engage an agbero from the motor park than waste my precious time on a patently obtuse person who refuses to reason objectively...

if he could leave apga after his words, that means he could renege on 4 years

We ain't fools, no one is falling for that bullshit...it's like a guy asking for the tip, we all know how it will end

Nobody is a kid here
You are comparing leaving apga, which is natural part of politics to promising Nigeria. How many politicians have never chsnged party in Nigeria??

He is clean as cristal.
He doesn't have Forged certificates.
He comes on TV to discuss about Nigeria problems, and provides solutions on how to solve them step by step if given a chance while others goes on TV to talk about Peter Obi grin you see the difference now.
He doesn't believe in tribalism or favourism.
No past criminal cases weda in 9ja or outside 9ja.






Na just few be this o
Clean as crystal",anyone believing a Nigerian politicians is clean,that person cant be taken seriously.

Forged certificates......there are several million other Nigerians without Forged certificates so that's an irrelevant criteria

Give us just 2 solutions he has proffered asides his regular incoherent consumption to production rhetoric when he himself doesn't even own a single factory.

Which non igbo has obi ever been known to work with before his Presidential ambition......someone who loaded northerners on trucks to send them back,someone tht sacked non anambra indigenes from the state civil service, many being igbos.

$250m airport cash scandal,Pandora papers etc.

😂😂😂😂😂

Story for the gods……..you can tell your stale gibberish to the marines……..you clowns keep talkinG about free and fair elections yet you have no problem with obi winning 100% vote in sad yeast where he came from, but in other regions where he was rejected, you claimed elections were rigged, how convenient 😂😂😂😂😂😆😆

Bitter obi couldn’t develop a small state like Anambala in 8yrs but you claim he will solve the problem of a diverse country like Nigeria in 4yrs😂😂😂 but I gave you instance of governors in his time who were able to make achievements and your Agulu package fraud can’t even come close😂😂😂

Obi who couldn’t set foundation or landmark for development in anamabla who automatically do that as president😂😂😂😂 you are just a clown a nothing…..the truth is bitter obi is a failure and as nothing to offer and continue to water down the achievements of Lagos state governors simply because your obi can’t measure up with any of them in term of achievements…..aside from Lagos we have richer state like river and other akwa ibom whose state was never former capital and they were still able to make impactful achievements we can all reference to today but same can’t be said about your obi because you can’t give what you don’t have grin

Bitter obi the agulu yes daddy packaged fraud is a failure and your bitter tears won’t change that……come 2027, he will be finally retired to his agulu village😂😂😂😂

Saying the truth and keeping promises seem to scare some of you because you’re used to politicians who say one thing and do the opposite.

I can understand where you’re coming from, in a country where honesty and accountability in leadership have become rare, integrity now looks strange.

Peter Obi is simply reminding Nigerians that he is not desperate for power. Politics should not be a do or die affair, it should not be a grab it, snatch it, and run away with it affair. Leadership is about service, not conquest.

And yes, four years is enough to begin turning things around with purposeful leadership, discipline, and competence.

After all, if Tinubu’s administration could plunge the country deeper into debt, worsen inflation, increase hardship, weaken the naira, deepen insecurity, and leave Nigerians battling constant electricity issues within a short period, then meaningful recovery within four years is absolutely achievable with the right leadership and dedication.
Obi too have said many things and do the opposite before.
He said he will never leave Apga but he has since visit 5 parties.

AMI3:
Now u have mentioned all those things.
My brother I want to tell u without any reasonable that major problem of Nigeria can be managed if the money can be properly managed.

There are a lot of natural resources that government do not even care about because of oil and do u know how much of our natural resources is being stolen everyday?

Do you know how much that people steal in this country every day?

Look at our legislators do u know how much they do go home with for one sitting?

Do you know how much the past and present government put into the refinery without any tangible out come

We were in this country when PDP collected Abacha loot what did the use the money for?

During Buhari and this present government how much have they collected from politicians can they account for it because everybody is coming to take their own share and sale the narrative to the gullible that the problem of Nigeria can not be solved.



We have ICPC, EFCC, and we are using NIN and BVN.

What are their usefulness and what has this government done to make them effective because there was a reason why all sectors was created.

Finally, our problem start from our electoral system if we can get that right no politicians will be messing up with the electorates.
You are just being emotional

Obi has made it clear that he is not too desperate to be a president, rather he is desperate to see a Nigeria that is working. He wants a Nigeria where an okada rider can become a senator as long as he has something upstairs. A Nigeria where public funds are not sent on personal luxuries.
He has demonstrated all before. Your president is the Lagos state landlord while Mr Peter Obi is a business man who just have one house in Onitsha. He rejected land gift and shunned pensions for past Governors. His record with World Bank and reforms educationally as a Governor has proven that he is the best man for the job.
Yet, he has been busy dishing out millions to support schools from his personal pocket.
Show me Tinubu charity gifts when he was not in power, but we saw bullion van during election going to his house.

THE ANGER OF TINUBU SUPPORTERS IS THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING AGAINST OBI.

Obi is a million times better than Tinubu. Tinubu has no clear plans for Nigeria. He keeps rewarding politicians who decided to identify with him with positions irrespective of their incompetency.
Taskmaster aka Mr Borrow Borrow. He keeps borrowing with nothing to show for it.
The question is this, 'Where is the exess money from the removed petrol? '. Instead, he keeps borrowing at the expense of the masses.

Nigeria cannot work in 4yrs.
Even the 8yrs is not concrete enough.
If Nigerians see purpose and potential in a presidency that has stayed 4yrs, we will revote same person for the 2nd 4th year, if the growth is visibly imminent we will ensure he goes nowhere and sit in the throne

My brother all the problems of Nigeria are created by Nigerians and bad leadership.
Ghana was than Nigeria but today many Nigerians are running to Ghana.
How do the get it right?
Years back nobody knows China but today they are ranking among the top countries in the world.
When politicians tell you guys that Nigeria problem can not be solved they saying because they want to keep remaining in power to steal because they have already sold a narrative for u guys to believe.

Not to talk of his supporters.
So u want him to take the turn of the north after 2031 when the south would have completed their 8yrs? Obi is just considering the unwritten agreement to rotate power between the north and south not that he doesn't like to do the whole 8yrs.

A region that hasn't produced a head of government since Aguiyi Ironsi wants to do only 4 years? Unbelievable. This man has an hidden agenda and that alone is scarier than Tinubu completing his second term.
The worse is for him to declare Biafra and everyone goes Thier ways. He didn't even need 4 years to do that.

Unfortunately, you cannot stop him.
You can see the damage done by Tinubu in this first session of the leadership. If he can only reverse all the destructions carried out by the Tinubu administration, it will be a better beginning for another better administration.

Some of you can believe anything!

Just because you hate the present Government, you have decided to trust blindly. You don’t have to like the government but don’t let their shortcomings becloud your judgement.

How realistic is Obi’s assertion?

How will he be able to achieve all that you just posted above? A country where an Okada man will become a senator if he has something upstairs! In a single term! Just stop and think about for once now!

If something is too good to be true, my Brother it is.

I won’t let anyone bamboozle me in this age and time.
