I am qualified to be Nigeria's President - Peter Obi by fergie001(mod): 2:10pm On Sep 10
Ojy: I know you are in the opposition, but I will want you to name one policy of President Bola Tinubu that you will keep if you are elected as President of Nigeria.

Obi: He has floated the naira. I am not going to defend it but I will put productivity.to make it more valuable to the people.

Ojy: Mr Peter Obi, do you believe in turn-by-turn Presidency?

Obi: Our elections should not be driven by tribe or religion. Today, by qualifications.... I am qualified to be President of Nigeria. I have the competence. I have gone round the world studying what it takes to become the President of Nigeria and I know what I can do to turn around this country in the right direction. It can not all be solved but you can look at our qualification and our training, it might be what you call short-term or whatever you can call it. But if you come to training today,, I have been to the best schools in the world - from Harvard to Oxford, from Cambridge to Columbia, I have been everywhere and every certificate I have, I can show you it's the way it is. If you find anyone wrong,I withdraw from the race.
Can you believe that nobody born after 1960 has been President of Nigeria? This is 66 years of independence - no other country of the world has it happened to. And they tell you people, you are leaders of tomorrow when people don't want to ......noooooo. Let's get moving. I can change this country and people will see it and they will feel it. We want a President that can move around and see and meet the ordinary people of Nigeria.
There is no community of the 180 in Anambra I didn't physically visit as Governor. I might not do that as President of Nigeria but I can tell you I will visit every state at least once a year, including our universities.

Tinubu is an unmitigated disaster

This is how a presidential candidate should speak. Appreciating the wholistic reason why he or she deserves the vote of the citizens, not on emilokan agbero mentality even when you have already supported a catastrophe

I stopped reading when I read where obi is claiming he don't want religious and tribe politics. OBI as governor of anambra state you tag ACN as Yoruba party during NGIGE of acn vs Dora akunyele of APGA senatorial contest in 2011, 2023 election you told Christians to collect their country back as if it belongs to them . Obi you are the biggest hypocrite in Nigeria
Re: I am qualified to be Nigeria's President - Peter Obi by Alliswell248: 3:37pm On Sep 10
Everybody is qualified even me

I would do a far better job as a governor than you

You were a failure as a governor...
The receipts are over here on NL

But most of your supporters are liars and have dementia

A failure like you cannot rule Nigeria .

Peter Obi is the most qualified candidate out of all contestants, according to majority of Nigerians
Re: I am qualified to be Nigeria's President - Peter Obi by christejames(m): 3:37pm On Sep 10
Even Tinupoo and his hirelings know you are more than qualified that's why they are jittery at the mention of your name...


And again, PO got me thinking 💭 🤔 and it's indeed true, nobody born after 1960 has ever been president of this country? 😲 🤯



Obi-Kwankwaso is OK ✌️

Our elections should not be driven by tribe or religion. Who said this? Imagine devil posting that we should all repent. No be serious juju be that?

no other country of the world has it happened to. And they tell you people, you are leaders of tomorrow when people don't want to ......noooooo. Let's get moving.

Go and check the entire south east governors and compare based on appointments who doesn't care about tribe the most. Obi cares about nothing but values, and doesn't give a damn about who you are. If he gave a damn, he would be working with Wike and many other heavyweights today probably including Sowore, if he gave a damn, he will be partisan. Even Atiku as a former vice president has not done half of what he has done in the north already as of today based on national interest. E no send anybody based on tribe.

Yes, but you need largest number of votes for you to become the president.

We have a foretaste of how you will change our country, and it looks terrible.

NLCreator:
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

Anambra distributes 177 vehicles to traditional rulers

Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, on Monday in Awka, distributed one SUV each to the traditional rulers of the 177 communities in the state.

Obi handed over one of the vehicles’ key to the state Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha.

He said that the gesture was aimed at helping them run and build better communities, adding that the vehicles would also help the traditional rulers to function effectively.

“If you have better communities, you will have a better Anambra, Anambra today is changing for better and I want this sustained,” the governor said.

“In doing that, the state government and the local government will do what it can to support the building of a better Anambra.”

Achebe said that he was overjoyed because the governor cared about the well-being and welfare of the traditional rulers.

“It is completely unprecedented in Anambra and probably elsewhere in Nigeria,” he said.

“It is a mighty gesture from the governor and for the government of the state to make a distinct impact on the well-being of the traditional rulers in the state.”

According to him, it was one of the several measures the present administration in the state had taken to improve the wellbeing of the traditional rulers.

“We pray that God will give us a successor that will continue from where Obi has left and lift Anambra to the next level.”

You’re entitled to your opinion just like majority of Nigerians are entitled to theirs.

Re: I am qualified to be Nigeria's President - Peter Obi by helinues: 3:42pm On Sep 10
Considering the way you have been contributing your own self, ordinary president of the Nigeria councillors, you will perform woefully as you lack leadership qualities

So the floating of Naira both Obi and his supporters have been condemning, Obi's planning to maintain it as. president.

No ideology, no direction

Re: I am qualified to be Nigeria's President - Peter Obi by SaintLucia: 3:44pm On Sep 10
APM! APM!! APM!!! Peter Obi has endorsed Seyi Makinde for president. He will soon command his followers to vote APM. Obi is confused but he doesn't know that. That Kwankwaso interview with BBC Hausa just proved that the man is actually preparing himself for 2031 presidential election when power return to north.
