Peter Obi Wows The Candidates Audience, Intrigues Nigerians by OEPHIUS(m): 1:39pm On Jan 31, 2019
The Candidate interview as hosted by Kadaria Ahmed, had the PDP Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and VP candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, as guests. The interview, although very confrontational from the interviewer’s perspective, had a calm resurgence of knowledgeable and quintessential replies and answers from the PDP candidates. A particular shining star was Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State and also the PDP VP candidate.

What stood out, was exactly how he used examples to bring down his answers to the understanding of the man in the street. When he answered questions on the statements Obasanjo made against Atiku Abubakar in the early 2000, he stated that it is a good thing that Atiku has been greatly supported by the same Obasanjo that made the statement; in explaining, he used the VAR system which was used in the last World Cup in Russia, where a referee makes a decision, goes back to look at the VAR and come out to overturn such decisions, after having superior facts.

This analogy was received with great applause across the viewership of the interview, with twitter comments being all positive. On his integrity while as Anambra Governor, Peter Obi asked a question; that he left N79bn for Anambra State in three different banks. He asked Kadaria to state any other Governor who has done that before. This means that even though he moved Anambra from 28th to 1st in education, he still saved money and made huge investments for the state. Attention was given to the manner Peter Obi complemented Atiku technically and administratively, in stark contrast to the duo of Buhari and Osibanjo, where Osibanjo had to explain the questions to Buhari before he could answer them.

On policy formulation, Peter Obi stated that Atiku Abubakar was not thinking about policy formulation; Peter states that “Atiku Abubakar has already formulated the plan, it’s just for him to implement these immediately he gets into office.” A lot of applause came at the time Kadaria accused Peter Obi of deporting beggars to Akwa-Ibom State when he was governor of Anambra State and while at it, Peter Obi stated that he only opposed the deportation of beggars out of Lagos State; including Hausa and Igbo beggars, whom he stood for, and ensured that the then Governor of Lagos State knew it was a wrong move. In fact, he told Kadaria that his wife is from Akwa Ibom State and he does not see a reason why he will deport his own in-laws.

This left the crowd comatose with applause as Kadaria called for a commercial break. Finally, on the issue of leaving APGA to PDP in order to compete in the Federal Level, while Atiku came to his defense, citing President Buhari who had moved from ANPP to CPC and to APC, Peter swept the audience off their feet by saying; “If I have a car that I can’t drive from Onitsha to London, what is bad in driving the car to Lagos and boarding a plane to London?” Thousands of Twitter users have come out to state that the outing was an excellent one and that the candidates deserve to lead Nigeria.

Some quick takeaway from Atiku-Obi outing at #TheCandidates tonight:

1)That was an interrogation and cross examination all combined, not an interview.

2)Atiku is way far smarter and intellectually endowed than most Nigerians had thought before now. Dude demonstrated an indepth appreciation of the issues quite unlike the Lifeless FC that didn't know the meaning of "livestock" despite rearing his 'homo' cows since the time of Adam.

Of course, I'm not going to talk about Peter Obi because even Ezinne -my two month old daughter- knows he is a walking encyclopedia in matters of the economy.

The Kadaria woman was undeniably biased. Though, it can be argued that she was just trying to make Atiku-Obi fumble by fire by force like that other Lifeless Football Club of Daura and his "Were Where Wear" assistant coach. The funny irony is, the more she tried, the more Atiku-Obi shined and endeared themselves to the Nigerian electorates. For example, she suggested that Atiku hasn't done anything to lift Adamawa, his home state, out of poverty but turned around all by herself to assert that the highest employers of Labour in Adamawa are the state government and Atiku Abubakar. At a point, her own bias became so obvious even to her that she had to start denying working for the APC even when no one has accused her of doing that. Conscience, they say, is an open wound. Only the truth can heal it.

In summary folks, the PVC collection ends one week before the election. Ensure you get your PVC and encourage your family and friends to do the same. Let us all go beyond mere talks and get our PVC, come out and vote enmass for Atiku, the only man with the wherewithal to defeat Buhari, and stay there to monitor our votes with our camera phone.

These Egyptians we are seeing today, we shall see them no more. And no, this is not me going philosophical. Buhari will not be President beyond 2019. He is not as invincible as we think. He is more scared than the rest of us. What you see playing out is desperation. They want you to give up and not bother voting, thinking they've won already. Don't!!!

Tomorrow, we shall be doing a little game here with Recharge Card and some cash prizes. Na small small money oooo unless una wan sponsor am. To participate, you must have your PVC.

Only a fool and an ignoramus would support the candidature of a lifeless and pathetic president.

Just listening to Atiku and Peter Obi would make a suicidal man rethink his suicidal plans.
With people like Obi around, there is still hope for Nigeria.
Not even valentine break would stop me from voting Atiku next month.

Haters and zombies can locate the nearest river or electric transformer, if they don't like Atiku.

Obi is a serial liar and a thief. No amount of grammar can change the fact that he invested state funds in his so-called family business, a fact he did not (or could not) deny last night. You cannot carve on a plank of rotten wood, no matter how hard you try.

I got to understand from last night's town hall meeting that Both Atiku and Obi are very, very smart and intelligent persons. They knew what to say and what not to say, as well as when to and when not to say it. Atiku responded to the allegations against his wife very intelligently just as Obi responded to allegations that he left APGA for selfish gains intelligently. Obi didn't need to explain anything to Atiku and he knew when and where to have his boss' back. In conclusion, they both showed Class.

My opinion hasn't changed on Obi. In fact, watching him last night reaffirmed the thought I had during the Vp debate. An empty dunce. As simple as abc.

Empty dunce who didn't know the meaning of free trade zone but kept on parabulating around rather than say he didn't know what it entails.

A dunce who thinks labour is the only factor that affects the cost of production.

That same dunce was at it yesterday and kept on derailing and going off point with his stupid metaphors as well as throwing around rhetorics like a kindergarten child. He lacks decorum and looks disorganised throughout. What a chaos and shamble. Folks in developed countries watching the show would think Nigerians are dumb disorganised and lacks decorum like Obi. What has soccer VAR got to do with a presidential candidate vying for a seat? Yeye.
