Peter Obi Says Nigerian Prisoners In Ethiopia Were Innocent by DomPerignon(op): 1:43pm On Jun 16
In reacting to the news of the Prisoner swap deal entered by the Nigerian govt and Ethiopia that saw to over 130 Nigerian convicts in Ethiopian prisons repartraited back to Nigeria to complete their sentence back home in Nigeria , Giringori was quoted as saying :

"... many of the affected Nigerians were young people arrested while transiting through Addis Ababa’s Bole International Airport in search of better opportunities abroad".

This is how he was quoted in an address he made in the US before "Nigerians" in the diaspora, that Kanu's detention was wrong and that Kanu's only crime was insulting people via his Radio Biafra broadcasts.

You can see how Giringori likes to obfuscate facts .

With that his statement he not only lied about the real situation and reasons why we had 139 prisoners in Ethiopian prisons by claiming they were innocent when they have all been duly convicted by an Ethiopian court for drug trafficking offenses, but also said they were looking for greener opportunities outside of our shores, thereby codedly assigning the blame for their drug trafficking ambitions to the FG not providing jobs for them in Nigeria .

This is how he made a similar statement to prisoners at the Onitsha correctional centre during his 2023 Christmas visit to the facility in which he blamed the FG for their situation that if the country was ok they won't have been into crime that landed them in prison.

This man is not mentally ok nor does he have any sense of what it is to be law abiding.

Ok, let's compare you and Obi:
*Obi said some Ethiopian prisoners are innocent
*You said Iran never sponsored terrorists

Which statement is more crazy?

Another useless lame attempt at derailing the thread .

Your obi said they are all innocent thereby claiming Ethiopian authorities just locked them up for no reason when we all know they have all since been convicted by an Ethiopian court for drug related offenses

Why must your obi lie always?

ARE THEY POORER THAN PEOPLE IN SOMALIA, NIGER REPUBLIC, CHAD, BURKINA FASO, SIERRA LEONE, ETHIOPIA, MALI, DRC, ETC?

THESE ARE COUNTRIES ON FOOD AID!

HOW COME PEOPLE IN THOSE COUNTRIES DON'T BECOME INTERNATIONAL DRUG TRAFFICKERS, BUT IT IS THESE "POOR SUFFERING BROTHERS" OF OBI FROM MANSION-FILLED VILLAGES AND TOWNS WHO SOMEHOW HAVE "NO CHOICE" BUT TO SELL HEROIN AND COCAINE TO KIDS WORLDWIDE?

PETER OBI, YOU'RE A CRIMINAL, AND YOU WILL NEVER SMELL THAT PRESIDENCY.

WILL YOU SHUT UP THERE.

SO IRAN SHOULD JUST SIT BACK AND ALLOW WHITE EUROPEANS WHO FALSELY CLAIM TO BE "GOD'S CHOSEN" TO STEAL AND ROB ARABS OF THEIR LANDS?

BECAUSE OF SOME STUPID LIES ABOUT GOD PROMISING THEM LAND 3,000 YEARS AGO?

ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE OKAY?

RUBBISH!

@OP.

What else does anyone intelligent expect the Igbo-centric bigot Obi to say? Did he not claim IPOB are good people and he lives with them?
