Experience wise, he is the least qualified. Even Kwankwaso who is not as experienced in politics as Tinubu and Atiku has been in politics way longer than Obi who joined in 2006.
Speaking coherently is not a qualification of a great leader.
Sorry.
How did you know he has the stamina to withstand the office? He understands the problems of Nigeria? Really? This was someone who had eight years to prove himself in Anambra but could only save money and build substandard roads many of which have washed off.
Why did he not do this many years ago? Why now when he is desperate for president?
A man who stashed hidden wealth in tax havens lacks integrity.
A man who awarded contracts to his former campaign managers and associates, including the reconstruction of Government House Akwa, will enrich his friends and family.
Until he gets there, and shout "I don't give a damn" like the once humble GEJ.
With his crude accent, bad English, and annoying feminine voice?
You are alone in this your wide thoughts. If as a human being, you don't see anything good in others, then you have a problem.
Winnersunited: Politics is their family business. While his brother Nnia Nwodo is shouting it's southern Nigeria turn with PANF and MBF, this other Nwodo, Okwey boy is shouting Atiku will Restructure Nigeria. You can see Politicians, even in their familes they stand on one point.

Nightwolf1: El Rufai is a loquacious idiotic imbec1le. His penchant for insulting anyone is a sign of emotional imbalance and outright frustration with his inner self.
NAG0DE: Same way he reconstructed adamawa in the past 20 years
Not even a single 1km road to his name, even in his village
Nwodo family is in business. One is shouting with PANDF and MBFR, the other with Atiku. You can see Politicians, one family cannot even stand together.
Curious345: Fact checking Elrufai's outburst that 1 LGA in Kaduna will swallow up votes from Anambra State
Who takes Elrufia serious . Thats how they manipulates their people by telling them lies . He will not tell them that a town in Imo State Mbaise has more PHDs/Professors that all the North West states put together. He will not tell them that Zamfara state with it's size and population could only register about 100 students for WAEC of which only about 24 passed, which is not up to a ward in Imo State. He is obessesed with size of states in the North . Who size don help. Go to Europe and see how countries are living side by side with good quality of life. He had been hopping from media house to another in the last one week, shouting south east and Igbos. He sees Igbos in his dream. Since they caged him out as a member of Villa cabal, he had been crying. He will soon runaway for his second exile.
bentenny: The likes of EL Rufai are still living in the past! How can he claim that an LGA in kaduna can eclipse a state or two in SE....Thats pure misinformation and pure ignorance! The beauty of the INEC BVAS is the fact that only electorates with PVC can vote which will make it hard for the typical politician to stay in the comfort of their homes to thumb print or determine results!
That's how they keep manipulating their people with lies. He will not tell them that a town in Imo State Mbaise have more PHDs/Professors than all the North West zone. He will not tell them that Zamfara state with it's size and population can only register about 100 students for WACE with only about 24 passing, not up to what a ward in Imo State can produce. . The man is obsessed with size of State in the North. Who size don help Go to Europe and see how counties are living side by side. He cannot hold any interview without calling the Igbos or the south East. He sleeps and dream about south east. . He had visited almost all the major news outlet in the last few days, crying. Maybe they have edged him out of Villa. Is like he will go on another exile soon.
Adamsxy: 10 political parties collapse structure for Atiku Abubakar in Anambra
Anambra State Director General of the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Committee, Professor Obiora Okonkwo, has said no fewer than ten political parties in the State have collapsed their structures in support of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, in the forthcoming 2023 Presidential election.
Okonkwo disclosed this to Journalists shortly after the presidential management committee meeting held at the campaign headquarters in Awka today Friday
He said the ten opposition political parties collapsed their structures in support of Atiku/Okowa ticket because, they knew that PDP will win the state and the South East as always and that Anambra is so far leading other states in the region; Abia, Enugu, Imo and Ebonyi in the quest to rescue and recover Nigeria.
He said the meeting was to ensure final preparations for the polls.
According to the DG, “Anambra is confident of victory. We are a liberal people who understand the dynamics of our politics and nascent democracy.
“Aside from the thousands of opposition party members who have defected to the PDP in Anambra since we began spreading the gospel of rescue and recovery, another ten (10) political parties have adopted Atiku Abubakar and Senator Ifeanyichukwu Okowa as their presidential and vice presidential candidates.
HenryThegreat1: Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has dared the Aso Rock “cabals” he believes are opposed to the Presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 presidential election. El-Rufai had sparked a controversy on Wednesday when he said some persons in Aso Rock were working against Tinubu.
While responding to a question in a yet to be fully released interview with BBC Hausa, El-Rufai said, “Respecting people is not fear, I swear we don’t fear anyone in this country, so we are not fearful, we respectful but if you show us you are not an elder, I swear we will fight you.” The governor’s latest comment was shared on social media ahead of the full release.
El-Rufai spoke in apparent response to the “Villa elements” he referred to in the Channels interview When he appeared on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Wednesday, El-Rufai said persons who backed a different aspirant in the APC presidential primaries are now hiding behind President Buhari to pursue their interests.
“I believe there are elements in the villa who want us to lose the election because they didn’t get their way; they had their candidate. Their candidate did not win the primaries. “ “They are trying to get us to lose the election, and they are hiding behind the president’s desire to do what he thinks is right,” he had said. Aisha, wife of the president backed El-Rufa’i over his claim that some elements in the presidency are plotting to sabotage Tinubu’s victory. The first lady, who wields great influence in the Villa, voiced her support for El-Rufai when she shared a clip of the interview containing the governor’s main allegation against the saboteurs who are non-members of the party and are exploiting the president’s goodwill for their selfish ends. But the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, responded saying officially, the government was not aware of anyone within the Presidential Villa engaging in such action. He said the government had been fair to all candidates regardless of party affiliation and that Buhari had consistently demonstrated that he was for free, fair and credible elections.
But he feared President Musa Y' Adua and ran to exile. It was President Jonathan that rescued him, the man he hated . He fears Peter Obi too. PO pepe him for Anambra. Forget this El Rufia garagara, he can run Ben Johnson.
N3TRAL: Remember when Otedola gave his daughters Ferraris?
If Otedola dies today, do you think he'll be happy that DJ Cuppy goes around telling the whole world that his 24 year old grandchild does not have a V-boot?
Like, a man created Generational wealth and handed it over to his son. His son brags that his children are suffering?
E normal for your ear?
No be Marxism be that?
How can you say that Obi's son is suffering, when the young man is traveling all over the world doing what he loves to do... 'CHARITY'. Do you think that someone that is suffering can also be a giver. You are obsessed with big cars and meaningless things, Oye go to Dino Meleya's garage and pick one car if that will make you happy.
HEBEI: Tinubu does not talk like a former governor What kind of accountant was he? And what kind of accountant's mindset does he have at the moment With all due respect, is it a case of dementia or what
All his words and outbursts so far never portray him as a former governor.
Most of the people on the podium with him were very uncomfortable. Watch Dr/Mrs Edu's contenance. You will understand what I mean.
Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Tuesday, criticised the recent currency redesign policy and the country’s foreign exchange (FX) rate management system while speaking at his party’s campaign rally in Cross River state.
The rally was held at the UJ Esuene Stadium in Calabar, Cross River’s capital.
The former Lagos state governor criticised the recent currency redesign policy and the rapid depreciation of the naira.
He said when the present government took over in 2015, the naira/dollar exchange rate was about N200 to a dollar but it has depreciated to about N800/$ at the parallel market.
The two developments Tinubu spoke about at the campaign rally occurred under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
“Don’t let them lie to you about change of currency. They have never understood what inflation is about,” the APC presidential candidate said. Most of the people on the podium with him are very uncomfortable. Watch Dr/Mrs Edu contenance, you will understand what I mean.
“They never understand (sic) what money laundering is all about.
“To change and the torture moved the exchange rate from 200 to 800. If they had repaired it, if they had arrested this, we won’t be where we are today. We will be greater. They don’t know the way, they don’t know how to think, they don’t know how to do.
“I say, follow me. Are you going to follow me? Are you going to vote for me?”
Greatkenny2: The whole visit and how the sultan received Obi and his entourage is really disturbing Yoruba moslems pigs and their lackeys… they were hoping the sultan would be hostile and inhospitable lol… the picture they painted earlier was totally in reverse…. We’re enjoying the wailing
But Obi has personal relationship with His Eminence, The Sultan of Sokoto more than any other Presidential Candidate. Their friendship dates back to about 40years ago when they were together at UNN. They are both Lions.
Almaigaa: This simply means that, Anambra People have more Heart disease than the entire Nigeria. This must be due to hardship, hunger, insecurity and the various life challenges in the East.
No. What it means is that some people cannot diagnose their illnesses, either through lack of awareness or finance. Know it that Anambra is a prime state. Travel and see.
bennybuhari: Hajiya Naja’atu Mohammed, a former Director of Civil Society Organisations of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has been urged to go for an urgent medical examination over her recent outbursts against Asiwaj Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the party.
Making the calls in a statement issued on Tuesday, Prince Kassim Afegbua, a former Commissioner for Information in Edo State said he is ready to pay for Naja’atu’s medical expenses.
Describing Naja’atu as an ethnicist who is pandering to the sentiments of her stomach, Afegbua, a staunch loyalist of Tinubu said by declaring support for the presidential ambition of the People’s Democratic Party’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar after a Northerner is completing 8 years in 2023, her actions and utterances have proved to the whole world that she doesn’t believe in the unity of Nigeria.
Speaking further, Afegbua said no matter the conspiracy between Naja’atu, Atiku and others, Tinubu will win the 2023 presidential election convincingly and will unite the country through his people-oriented policies.
He said “So, what Najaatu should be talking about now, is the place of Nigeria in the comity of nations and how we can collectively build a nation that will sustain unity in our diversity, and how we can launch new generational thinking that will lead us in the paths of growth and development. Not the extension of Northern leadership against the run of play. Undermining these will be catastrophic for our country which is now clearly fragile and delicate”.
“She may not like the face of Asiwaju Tinubu, but she cannot take away Asiwaju Tinubu’s inalienable right to vote and be voted for. Najaatu can shout to the rooftop trying to make people hear her deafening noise, but she cannot alter what is right. God has shown favour to Nigeria in the aspiration of Asiwaju Tinubu. Tinubu’s victory is assured, and will be loud enough across the six geopolitical zones of the country”.
“Come February 2023, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be President-Elect of Nigeria, and he will be sworn in as President in May. Najaatu is not anything near any of the Governors in the North who have since become heroes for seeing sense in zoning the presidency to the South, and are working assiduously for Tinubu’s victory”.
“Her clamour for power retention in the North after The APC Governors have spoken smacks of her political insensitivity. In case Najaatu desires to heed my call for her medical check-up by a reputable physician, I am ready to pay for it. It takes a man who is well to know one who is not well. She seriously needs urgent medical examination”.
“Compare Najaatu with Hannatu Musawa, you will see the beauty of roses in Hannatu and petals of thorns in Najaatu. Hanatu Musawa is not only cerebral, urbane, suave and knowledgeable, she combines her beauty with the grit of a cosmopolitan lady whose exposure is obvious. That is how to be a Lady of intellect, not the Najaatu’s way of barking for relevance”. https://independent.ng/najaatu-mohammed-needs-urgent-medical-examination-afegbua/
Attack dogs everywhere. You are not concerned about the person very close to you that needs urgent medical examination...naa Najaatu be your problem.
Gov. Udom is now Igboman for you. You left the State that you are having altercations with, and started calling Igbo. You don't know the difference between Akwa Ibom State and Igbo states àgain.
Tinubuadvocate: Lol since this woman decamped to pdp ipob criminal have been going round interrogating her. This will not stop peter pandora of come third distance.
Why not attack the woman, and leave Obi out of it. Do you see Obi in your dreams?
But he said it by himself, nobody compelled him. He had been holding others accountable for what they said before him. Most of his speeches had been this man told me this, and the other one that. Now , it's his own turn to be held accountable. The standard must be the same. Chief Nwike abeg tell us your preferred presidential candidate.
jumper524: The next thing you'll see is Peter Obi pictured with a small child then either you see a Nokia C2 java phone picture of scanty crowd or you see a very one-sided view of the PTA metting going to h
Is like you are not tired of babariga people. Don't be deceived. Look for smart people, that's where the future lies.
The Nation NewspaperMenu Search for: Search … Southeast governors shun Soludo as Anambra hosts regional conference Anambra gov Charles Soludo Nwanosike Onu, Awka January 29, 2023 THE four Southeast governors failed to attend the zones regional conference on Human Capital Development, hosted by the Anambra State governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo. The two day conference was held in Awka by Soludo but governors from the region shunned the event. Though they sent representatives, a disappointed Soludo lamented that lack of unity among the leaders was detrimental to growth in the region. He advocated for a regional education board to fashion out a curriculum for the region. The governor also said that the Southeast could come together and set up a teacher certification institute to certify teachers for schools in the region. It was his reaction to recommendations and policy documents unveiled by technocrats during the conference. In the area of education, labour and health, he said they could be adopted by the governors of the region to grow human capital.
Soludo should realize that all the other governors in South East are senior to him in terms of office, and state governance, so he cannot be dragging them to Awka. Again, Enugu is the Regional capital of the Southeast. Next time he wants to call a meeting, he should have that at the back of his mind.
You can campaign for Atiku without insulting our collective sensibility. Atiku that had been contesting and failing election for over 30years, what is there to celebrate about him, with all the criminal records. Somebody with the propensity for acquiring illegal wealth. Abeg tell us another thing.
funshint: If only you understand the average Ukrainian mentality towards blacks , we shouldn't have anything to do with those people. In contrast Russians are very nice, respectful and friendly people.
Abeg forget this your reasoning. Nigeria have more of our young people studying in Ukraine in different fields of human endeavor, than most Countries including Russia. Just do Congratulate OBY on the Appointment.
Darren95: Before igbos claim Obi is better than Tinubu, they should all relocate their businesses to Anambra that Peter Obi developed.
You are in Lagos but you don’t believe Tinubu who made Lagos conducive for igbos. Wahala
Two eminent Igbos governed Lagos State before Tinubu. Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe and Adm. Ndubuise Kanu, Just like other eminent Nigerians from other states of the federation did too, before Tinubu. So bury your childish talk.
igbotormentor: These people do not know Tinubu is greater than the whole Igbo land, God bless jagaban the incoming president of federal republic of Nigeria. Osun ooooooooo
We just have to say building did not get required approval and before you know it, it will be torn down. We can also as well say it did not comply with urban plan. Little reasoning.
Answer the question; what happened to the project? How do you award such a huge project to Globim; an unknown company that has no antecedent engaging in such capital project? Whatever is motivating you people to support this guy is definitely not competence. This man is looking like a well disguised thief!
