Ebullience:
The Director General of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation, Otunba Gbenga Daniel has given reasons why Mr. Peter Obi was picked as the running mate to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Abubakar.

The 57-year-old Obi was a former governor of Anambra State and a former Chairman of Fidelity Bank Plc.

In a statement on Friday, Daniel said Mr. Obi’s choice was largely influenced by his youthfulness, vast knowledge of global and local economics as well as being a financial expert, all experience which Nigeria is in great need at this point in time.

“This ticket will be able to steer our nation back on the path of progress, economic prosperity and unity”, Daniel said.

Born 19th July, 1961, Obi attended the Christ the King College, Onitsha and later proceeded to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.

The statement continued, “He is also a graduate of several international and national institutions such as the Lagos Business School, Harvard Business School, London School of Economics, Columbia Business School, Institute of Management, Switzerland, Kellogg Graduate School, Oxford University and Cambridge University.

“In public service, he has led various divisions some of which includes: Member, Presidential Economic Management Team; Vice-Chairman, Nigeria Governors’ Forum; Chairman, South-East Governors’ Forum, and the Governor of Anambra State.

“Peter Obi is an astute professional who has laid his footprints across the corporate world. He was the Chairman, Board of Security and Exchange Commission (SEC); former Chairman, Fidelity Bank PLC; former Chairman, Guardian Express Mortgage Bank; former Chairman, Future Views Securities; former Chairman, Paymaster Nigeria; former Chairman, Next International Nigeria; former Director, Guardian Express Bank PLC; former Director, Chams Nigeria PLC; former Director, Emerging Capital: former Director, Card Centre PLC.

“He is a member of the British Institute of Directors (IOD), Nigerian Chartered Institute of Bankers and Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG).

It's not by answering Professor, or worst of all pastor. Professor ndi nzuzu. Pastor ndi mmuo..

We're talking about people with real world substance. People who have proven themselves independent of government patronage!

This nice cv is good as vice president of the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist organization.
I am so happy that terrorist nnamdi kanu is happy in his grave, that they have achieved what they want,
No more agitation for succession again.
And i hope terrorist nnamdi kanu will not agitate again from his early grave and be demanding for biafra if Peter obi lost the 2019 election.
Thief atiku and peter obi can only be president and vice president respectively of the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist organization.

The man has intergrity and committment with Nigerians from all tribes. Unlike the Aso rock Professor that surrounded himself with his tribal people.
The IBOs are known as racists all over the world. Ghana & South Africa are just two examples of countries that have identified ibos traits of racism while crying foul of marginalization. Obj, Gbenga Daniel & Afenifere better watch it.

Peter Obi was Special Adviser to Jonathan on Economy in addition to being the Anambra Governor at the time Nigeria made the highest revenue in Africa but did not save one kobo but everything was looted and they borrowed heavily.

Majority of those surrounding GEJ are Ibos including Peter Obi. They gave themselves board chairmanship of strategic & juicy corporations where the DGs & Ministers are also Ibos.

Afenifere, Gbenga Daniel & Obj may be wasting their time.

Okonjo lead you to recessionhuh?
Your case is beyond APC propaganda. ignorance is actually a disease. During okonjo's time, growth rate was well over 5%

Buhari's earliest 2 fiats unavoidably led to recession. Anybody that knows even the basics in finance and economy knew that the recession was going to come following those 2 fiats.

1. Sudden & complete implementation of Treasury single account. It's well known that it would cause a shock on the economy... reason the previous administration planned a gradual process of introducing it. But Buhari came in with a fiat within his first 2months in office and the uninformed were hailing his body language turned body odour.

2. Fiat on domiciliary accounts.... within his first 3 months in office. This led to capital flight especially of FDI. foreign direct investment. Foreigners withdrew their money from NSE...stock plummeted, recession followed. PMB later reversed this but the mistake was already made. capital has flown out . Recession was as sure as death is sure for everyone.
CBN swing into crisis management with their ill-fated Exchange rate "list of 41 items" which just like soludo predicted would worsen the situation as Bereue De change used the opportunity to suck them dry worsening an already terrible situation.

Know this today. PMB's first 2 decisions/blunders led to recession. Forget all the propaganda. Those that know know.

[quote author=Earthbound post=72030373]Peter Obi would be a better candidate for the presidency.


The only reason he's been selected is to pacify, compensate and buy the South Easterners. [/quYiu
You are right actually and he's on the right track to be the president of Nigeria but you need to know with or without him Easterners and people wey dey wish Nigeria well no want buhari again.

The tribalism awolowo introduced into Nigeria politics is ingrained in yoruba DNA.
u are a poor student of history,it is d greed of Igbos that introduced tribalism into Nigeria politics.how can an Igbo man b d premier of eastern region n another man scheming to b d premier of Western region.u people want 2 out of 3 things meant 4 three people without caring if someone has or not.with d way u are blindly supporting atiku n insulting Yorubas who love atiku I know it will get to a stage Igbos arrogance n loud mouth will push people away from atiku.lets wait n see

What has the Yorubas gained from the Ibos? It is inferiority complex that makes a tribe to complain of betrayal or marginalization when there is no any agreement between both parties.

Despite IBOs domination of GEJ government & looting of treasury, has yorubas ever complained of betrayal or tribalism or marginalization? Never. The IBOs are trying to put Atiku in problem as they did to GEJ
Re: Why Atiku Picked Peter Obi As Running Mate – Daniel by fallout87: 11:14pm On Oct 12, 2018
I am against APC but I must tell the truth.

Peter Obi is a massive mistake and only people blinded by tribalism will disagree.

Atiku had to pick from SW. PDP will not have a Governor or major Senator from the SW.

PDP basically has NO Yoruba representation. Atiku might as well not even campaign there because it will be a waste of resources.


This is a huge error and I'm saddened because it means four more years of Buhari. SE was always going to vote PDP. This was the opportunity to split SW further. Instead SW will vote overwhelmingly for APC like Kano and the election will be over before it even starts.

If only people liked at the reality instead of focusing on tribe.
