OEPHIUS:
In a video interview with Channels Television, the Vice Presidential Candidate of the PDP says that the present problems of the Nigerian economy was NOT created by the present government but by Governors before 2015.

He said he remembers as a governor when the former Minister for Finance Okonjo Iweala asked the government to save and the governors and everyone else said no so why are you complaining when you created this problem yesterday

This might tally with the present government stance that they met a moribund economy and the problems were already present before they got in.

nzeobi:
those he blamed are still members of the APC, amaechi, aregbeshola and many of the APC governors insisted the money be shared and when it was done the used theirs to fund buhari's election and leaving their states in huge debt.

Officialpdpnig:
Peter OBi actually had this interview long before he was chosen to be a vice under Atiku. He never knew he would become vice and this video would be used against him whenever he begins to blame this present FG for the economic downturn.

Peter Obi is a turncoat and should not have been the vice to Atiku even though I was not surprised that Atiku chose him since the same Atiku has a penchant for making wrong decisions.

Kwamecron:
Nigerians are the problems of themswlf
Especially those ipob ppl that think they are very industrial but rather import fake drug and product into the country and expired material to jopadize the life of its citizen. Always beating drum of war and making the country ungovernable. That's why most of the are illiterates

obailala:
Obi is a principal reason Atiku presently has some credibility today; Obi is a principal reason several haters of pdp (like myself) have a soft spot for Atiku.

jumper524:
he tried to make amend then but to no avail.
he saw the impending doom and as such solicited for a saviour..

OkaNaUbe:
Rotimi (Lootimi) Amaechi and other Governors are the reason that Jonathan didn't save the SWF. They clamored that the monies is shared to them and GEJ later gave in (wrong of him but he was seeking reelection and didn't want to offend Governors).

Wiseandtrue:
Rotimi Amaechi was the chairman of governors forum then and now, he is in APC.

Shall we say that he is the origin of the problem then

As I recall he opposed it vehemently!

Officialpdpnig:
You are confirming my own thoughts.

Atiku is not credible and should not have been our candidate.

Peter Obi is not going to be President . Atiku will not allow him to take the shine from him same way Obasanjo did not allow Atiku to take the shine from him.

Peter OBi right now is just a figurehead and will never cross that threshold.

Peter Obi did not say the truth. He simply granted an interview long before he was chosen as vice to Atiku. This video is an old one.

Today he is lying that this present FG is the reason for recession despite knowing that about a year ago he granted an interview where he clearly said PDP and himself inclusive were the reason for this economic downturn because the economy was already recessed when they were in power

Lorenzop:
you are so disgusting....it is the height of foolishness and arrant display of ineptitude to lie through your nose when it is a known fact that Buhari has borrowed more in 3 years than what PDP borrorwed in 16 years...shame on you

vedaxcool:
Peter Obi will prove a bigger liability at the end, he is a coward with perchant flip-flop syndrome. PDP created the problems we are facing they definitely cannot be the ones that will solve them.

Yyeske:
You don't know what you are talking about, the money shared was the extra crude account(ECA)created by OBJ.
It had $21 billion as of when it was given to GEJ to manage.
The governors found out the federal government was taking out of the ECA illegally when it was stipulated by law that every dollar taken from it must be shared with the federal taking 52%, state and LGA the rest. This was why the governors went to the supreme court and the FG had no option than to share the rest by the ratio mandated by law.
Question you should be asking yourself is this, the FG finally got $2.1 billion which is 52% of the money after the sharing, this means what was remaining in the account was about $4 billion, remember it was initially $21 billion, so $21 - 4 billion is $17 billion, where is the $17 billion?

obailala:
He's simply playing politics today because he has to.

Obi is a principal reason Atiku presently has some credibility today; Obi is a principal reason several haters of pdp (like myself) have a soft spot for Atiku. He's the best choice Atiku could have ever made. If not for anything, saying the truth has never been a crime, so I see no reason you should criticise the man for sticking with the truth regardless

Officialpdpnig:
Obiano revealed otherwise and he declared the Peter left him with a debt of 200b

See your comment earlier below




Was he being truthful when he began to lie that this present FG caused recession despite knowing what he said a year ago?

Politics does not need to make a liar out of a man. A principled person should not be able to lie regardless of anything.

Obi is just showing his dishonest nature and such a person is fraudulent

OChimex:
He just shot his party in the head. Even though he said the truth, that was an asinine statement from Peter Obi. Why giving your enemy a basis to attack you further? A very serious blunder from Obi.

Someone should tell this man to just focus on their blueprint to change the status quo instead of dwelling in the past or else he will continue shooting themselves in the leg.

Officialpdpnig:
This was why I said somewhere else that we are beginning to think that Atiku was a wrong choice for us as a presidential candidate.

He was heavily involved in the nose diving of our economy when he was vice to Obasanjo and now he has taken a man who was also heavily involved in the further nose diving of our economy under Goodluck Jonathan as a vice.

Obasanjo said " Atiku has a penchant for making wrong choices/decisions" and he appears to be right.

This will not end well for my party

My Igbotic brother it can not end well for you too. When all you have to give his hate, what you get is hate in return.

GEJ left a staggering debt all the money looted by his Ebos ministers and cabinets. The only real minister in GEJs cabinet was a Yoruba man who handled agriculture, every other minister were criminals and failures. Even Obi was part of those crooks. And I'm supposed to vote for a thief who did absolutely nothing in his state and left heaps of gbese. and Bubu has now saved over $20 billion and borrowed less. Bubu met dozens of saboteurs, from sponsored MEND who bombed oil lines for over two years to IPOBS who tried to kill his government and a rogue and useless NASS controlled by the opposition among delayed bills and sickness. You know when they say someone is Godsent and willing to do something with little. Yet the same man is fixing Lagos Ibadan, Sagamu, Lagos Aboekuta road, Rail lines linking Lagos Ogun and Oyo. Rail lines linking PH and Abuja and Lagos etc. we have better light and Bokoharam reduced to protesting and newts. Baba met a dead country, and today you see jobs posting daily on nairaland, only the useless youths stay on nairaland blaming their forefathers daily...a lot is happening and Thats why the Indians and Chinese are flooding the country. Bubu is building the Niger Bridge for these useless ingrates, fixing several SE roads that their gods and sons who looted the country dry didn't do for them. Atleast you know some folks are pathetically in love with corruption and trash...
PDP has shown it's a criminal entity with adopting those big thieves and flanking itself with all the confirmed looters of NASS. My SE and their love for looters. Hian!

Amaechi and Fashola = 36 governors right?

Obi who was live in the meetings said every single governor said NO, and that was even mainly because the FG was already deeping its hands into the collective purse, withdrawing and withdrawing without any explanations.

But now, according to some funny folks, governors automatically means Amaechi and Fashola (and to some others, Argbesola and Oshiomole). Those 4 men must have been very powerful to control the other 32 zombie governors (who were majority PDP) who had no opinions of their own. Infact they must have had some potent juju powers cos they also hypnotised GEJ the president then to squander the FG's large (52%) share of the money.

Meanwhile, the combined share of the ECA taken by these 4 guys wasnt even up to 5% of the total fund, but today you blame them for squandering the entire money? This has to be the lamest attempt at playing the blame game .
