How Obi Lied about California State University

By Soibi Versatile

Presidential Candidate of NDC Peter Obi is at it again with his usual fact twisting narrative. Obi has in the past made false claims about several situations and now his comments about a U.S. university visit are another example of him reshaping reality for applause.

In a public speech, Peter Obi claimed he visited “USC” and saw a university where the entire faculty, including the dean and registrar, were former convicts. He added the dramatic detail that the dean had spent “28 years in jail.” He presented this as proof that institutions run by ex-prisoners can work.

The truth is Obi never set foot at the University of Southern California. The school he actually visited was California State University, Sacramento, also called Sac State. There is clear video and media coverage showing him at Sac State, not USC.

At Sac State, Obi praised the Project Rebound program. Project Rebound is a real initiative that helps formerly incarcerated _students_ return to school and earn degrees. It is about student reentry, not faculty hiring.

Obi took that student program and twisted it. He changed “students” into “faculty” and claimed the whole teaching staff were ex-convicts. He also invented a dean with a 28-year prison term. No such dean exists at USC or at Sac State in any public record.

USC’s faculty directory, leadership history, and news archives show no department where “everyone is an ex-convict.” There is no dean at USC who served 28 years in prison. The claim collapses under basic fact-checking.

By mixing up the school name and exaggerating the details, Obi turned a commendable student support program into a false story about an entire faculty of ex-prisoners. That is not misremembering. That is fabrication.

California State University, Sacramento deserves credit for Project Rebound because it genuinely helps students rebuild their lives. But Obi’s version is a lie. He lied about the university name, lied about who the program serves, and lied about the credentials of the dean. The record shows exactly how Obi twisted the facts about California State University.


Why it is good to make references to situations to draw home your points. It is also important to state things as they are and not give a new narrative just to score cheap political points. Obi has had a penchant for telling narratives that are inaccurate and this is one of his myths that has been bursted and trashed.

THIS ALONE IS ENOUGH TO DISQUALIFY HIM FROM THE PRESIDENCY.

WHAT WILL HE DO IF YOU GIVE HIM POWER?

HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHEN HE'S TELLING YOU THE TRUTH, and WHEN HE'S LYING?

HE'S NOT EVEN PRESIDENT YET, AND HE'S ALREADY LYING??

ABEG SOMEBODY GET THIS MAN OUT OF MY FACE.

RUBBISH.

Another account, same JD. Attack Peter Obi
How can an entity that has largely succeeded in capturing almost all powers in the country still be so mortally afraid of a single individual that they deploy all the instruments of propaganda at their disposal at him
This is veritable sign of a schizophrenic obsession with Obi and Obidients and it is dangerously tilting towards life threatening levels

Your political god claimed he met revenue only for his minister to come out and debunk his lie
That lie forced them to take loans that you and your children will end up paying
Can you show me your angst on that related matter?

Obi did not present his fake BSc degree as part of his academic qualifications in his last INEC form .

He instead presented WAEC O'level as his highest certificate.

So don't blame him for not knowing how universities operate.

You are free to call out others, but nobody should call out your agulu fraud? You lot are hilarious.

Obi knows his audience. He knows those that believed Buhari was cloned would believe any crap.

Politician and his California State University – undeniably a solid choice. It’s a straightforward, reliable candidate.
