I love this, this leaky basket mouth will rot in the darkest part of jail. The manner at which he runs his mouth, I knew one day, he would run it enter a trap. You come enter Afe Babalola's trap.
Thank Goodness, no be FG arrest him, those bitter people would have been insulting Mr President.
All these defamatory statements he wrote in his book, where will he get evidence to proof them?, I don't pity him and his bitter supporters.

God bless Nigeria.

stevups:
Do you think the writer did not know what he wrote?

PressMyButton:
Illiterate, defamation has been decriminalized in Lagos state but very much effective in Ekiti state where the plantiff filed the suit.
Try dey read than wasting away on NL.

Babangidapikin:
Those are weighty allegations to put in a book , if they are no evidence that he corrupted the judiciary .

You sue for defaming and not arrest. That's why they say this country is a zoo

The Nigeria Police Force has arrested Dele Farotimi, a human rights lawyer, FIJ heard on Tuesday.

Omoyele Sowore, a 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) and a good governance advocate, made the announcement on social media.

Igbos don't support failures. Obi is actually the model Tinubu wished he was.

The 2023 election is prove that any idiot can win an election but governance is more than merelƴ occupying a sit and turning everything upside down.

President Biden announced Sunday he signed a pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, arguing the charges against his son were brought for political reasons.


https://youtube.com/shorts/xkfNUaZC1jM?si=w4YbqVzLtbRjqfCM
The pardon clears Hunter Biden in both his federal cases.

Hunter Biden was found guilty in June in a federal case on three felony charges over his purchase and possession of a gun in 2018, violating the law by concealing drug use. He pleaded guilty in September to nine federal tax charges, avoiding a trial.

“No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong,” Biden said in a statement.

“There has been an effort to break Hunter — who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution,” he added. “In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me — and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.”

Both the president and the White House press secretary said multiple times in recent months that Biden did not plan to pardon his son. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Nov. 7, two days after President-elect Trump’s victory, that the answer was still “no” when asked about a possible pardon.

Always out of touch with the suffering the masses are going through due to stupid sycophants he has surrounded himself with.

You can only deceive your foolish supporters, not sensible Nigerians.

We must continue to keep this thread alive

Emperoh:
While i agree with most of you that Anambra has dwindled in governance fortunes since 2011
when he got his second tenure, i totally disagree that Obi is a monumental failure.

let me state here that i hold no brief for the Governor or any of his cronies, but i know the difference
between the different tenures i witness since 1999

What is happening to Obi is tantamount to my initial believe and one which i share with a close cousin that Second tenure
bred impunity. . . .check all the governors in their last lap and tell me if any story that is different.
Unfortunately, i was among those clamouring for Obi's return after an impressive run out in his first term (pls these are my opinion). To some extent, we felt a feeling of governance with things being done as at and when due. Our roads continued the upward movement that Chris Ngige initiated and other aspects of governance receiving adequate attention when needed. We had workers who were paid albeit lowly, timely payment of pension to retired worker and our debt profile coming to a very low level.

But the man is gradually quashing his own achievements with his ambition. I wonder whether getting in touch
with government at the centre really guarantees anyone anything. But his constant hobnobbing with the PDP government may have triggered the transfer of the PDP disease to Peter Obi. I had thought that with his experience with the PDP government during the fight of his life for his tenure, Mr. Obi would have distanced himself from any relationship with the PDP government at the centre.

I had expected a governor who would build on his legal success and build something out of the APGA government.
But lo, it's one internal fight after the other. Snatching tickets meant for his APGA loyalists and handing them over to PDP decampees. Imagine the likes of Chuma Nzeribe and Uche Ekwunife in APGA!!!

But these are not really where my problem lies. It is with the inability of the governor to think creatively and exit that straight-jacketed manner of thinking; in terms of doing what the law says government should. But rather look beyond the normal and harness the budding human resources in the state to its benefit. We have the most successful set of people in black Africa and i can imagine the number who are yet to be discovered. It is not enough for government to build roads, rehabilitate schools, provide healthcare and basic infrastructure. . . . .what about those policies and laws that can stimulate the states resources? Even in the area of infrastructure, i can hardly find any Federal project Mr. Obi's government has embarked upon. This is despite his rapport with Aso Rock. Where then is the benefit of his relationship with the President. Yes we boast about the best road network in the South East but the entrance to our state from Enugu and Onitsha leaves a lot to be desired. The Asaba end of the highway is a Federal Road; it was done by the Delta State government. Why can't Mr. Obi replicate same and retrieve his money from Abuja; since he is close to them and Mr. Ngige did the same.
It is totally disheartening to see that this is a failure that will be self inflicted. Posterity would have held him in high regard if he had kept up with the first term momentum but trust leaders to grow a whole new identity when they become the Lord of the manor.
But what I totally disagree with is that Obi is a failure as a Governor. He did quite well in the first continuing from where Chris Ngige stopped

speeder:
I'm an Anambra indigene. Road construction has been zero all d way except for d one he's recently constructing at Onitsha. But most Anambras have an undoubting faith in him cos he signifies a sense of unity among d people. He has achieved alot in his administration among which are: he constructed over 500 borewholes in d state, he gave over 250 wheel chairs to d disabled, he alway attend any cultural activities organised by any locals wit their uniform on( this d major reason he is been loved by d people) and anmbra is d state wit d largest road network. To me i won't say he hasn't achieved anything but i'm yet to see any of his achievement that i would b proud of. But i sure ly

BashMe1:
Na foolish Man now. During the tym of the removal of subsidy, he appeared the first Gov'nor to promise his ppl the great reward to attain from such federal move and urged them to go about their various biz. Inspite of the fact that nuffin is being done yet as a result of the so called REMOVAL, i still see him not doing a good thing till the end of his tenure. Shake Ma Head in despair.
