Marginalization Of Igbos, Self-inflicted -Peter Obi by ExAngel007(op):
Former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has said that most of the injustices and marginalization alleged to have been meted on Ndigbo in Nigeria were self-inflicted.

https://informationng.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/peter-obi.gif

The former governor spoke in Awka, the Anambra State Capital during the grand reunion of Osisiona Foundation founded by Dr. Chike Obidigbo, former All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), gubernatorial aspirant in the state.

Obi who was accompanied by his supporters to the event said that Igbos choose to be spectators than getting into the mainstream of seat of power, where the national cake is being shared, declaring that if one was not where the cake is being shared nobody will remember you.


Most governors of South East, he said, don’t attend relevant meetings and when they attend they do not have patience to stay in such meetings.The former governor who was intermittently cheered by hissupporters at the occasion said that as APGA Governor, there was no Governor who got more than him from the centre when he superintended Anambra State.He said in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s), no state except Gombe State, apparently, where the woman in charge hails from, got more than Anambra State.Endorsing Dr. Obidigbo for the 2017 Anambra State Governorship race, the former governor who indicated his interest to run for the Anambra Central Senatorial Zone against the APGA candidate, Chief Victor Umeh, said it is people like Obidigbo who are employers and wealth creators that should be given opportunity to rule Anambra State.


He said that if people who have never invested nor employed people were entrusted with power, they receive allocation and embark on frolic of their own to squander it because they have never known how to handle money.In his speech, the traditional ruler of Nteje, Igwe Roland Odegbo, said the traditional rulers and religious leaders in the State were working hard to reconcile Obi and his successor, Governor Willie Obiano, saying that a lot of people in the State will not like the peace move because of what they benefit from this quarrel, but they will fail.


Calling for respect for traditional rulers in Igbo land, Igwe Odegbo challenged those who forment trouble in the State to desist from it or face the wrath of the people and thgods.Dr. Obigdigbo said that he was prepared for yet another round of political battle in 2017, urging his supporters and people of goodwill to remain prayerful and unwavering as they jointly pursue this agenda of honest and quality leadership for the great people of Anambra State.

“It is often said that quitters don’t win and winners don’t quit. We are winners and refuse to quit because God cannot be found in an abandoned project,” he said.

Whoever still takes this deceptive, selfish and greedy man seriously. This same person that didn't attract any meaningful FG projects to Anambra for 8 years despite always frequenting Aso rock and romancing GEJ.
I want him to contest the senatorial rerun so he can lose and finally go home

This Peter Obi is a man to be wary of, he is one of the reasons that the SE didn't build bridges... he told them they were self sufficient & could get things done on their own lonesome , postured that maximum hostility was the way to go.. angry

Nobody should take this man seriously. He will surely account for the evil he committed against the people of Igbo in due time. Obi is a traitor and a political harlot

Peter Obi should tell Igbos who was responsible for the killings of MASSOB members thrown into Ezi River.
Re: Marginalization Of Igbos, Self-inflicted -Peter Obi by GODISGREAT123: 9:34am On Mar 26, 2016
Peter Obi, we have heard. Bring your Obidigbo in 2017 and lets see how it goes. That is if he gets ur PDP ticket ahead of Andy Ubah.
Re: Marginalization Of Igbos, Self-inflicted -Peter Obi by Ariani: 9:36am On Mar 26, 2016
Obi is yet to account for the Ezu river murder of Igbo youths.

Let him be running his mouth talking trash, maybe he thinks we have forgotten.

His day of reckoning is coming, already he is now a political non entity in Anambra, I pity Obidigbo.

Politicians are like Messi. They dribble you inside out and score their goal without mercy. The Obiano you are fighting for has foreseen to death of several Igbos since he became Governor and was the 1st Igbo Governor to go pledge loyalty to Buhari immediately Jonathan lost.

Of course, when the world as you know it is coloured by myopia & PTSD occasioned by election defeat ....

I know your type, 38mths of bitterness still left to live through can render anyone emotionally unbalanced so I get the irrational attitude.

Now run along & roll a threadbare tyre down your street... cool
