whiskystan: Bros! party doesn't make individuals, rather individuals make party, a good example is the problem between T.A orji and PPA, today where is PPA? Obi preserved APGA for the memories of Dim Ikemba Ojukwu talk of wanting to take leadership from Umeh.. seriously I don't know your grasp of politics, you would have known that as a governor or president, you the "defector" party leader..if in doubt you can ask Audu Ogbe, Gemade or any of the PDP chairmen that fought Obasanjo for supremacy. |

Genius100: what do you know ? But Gej held the economy steady and even achieved economic growth during his time and Nigeria become the 3 fasted growing economy in the world and attained African biggest economy . Again, there was a global economic recession between 2008 to 2010 but Nigeria was not affected due to GEj prudence and strong economic team even USA was devastated by the recession. So what are you talking about ?. Man forget about the propaganda that was fed to you by western media due to hatred and tribal bigotry . 2 Likes |

iconaus: You are an ignoramus. The reason we were able to weather the 2008 recession was because of the money OBJ saved. OBJ left $45 billion in the treasury and another $22 billion in the Excess Crude Account. Virtually all the growth under GEJ was due to high oil prices. He did not diversify the economy. We are talking about a buffoon thay was borrowing to pay salaries when oil fell to $65 dollar per barrel. Again, grow some common sense |

TEN IMPORTANT THINGS PETER OBI DID NOT TELL US ON THE PLATFORM — Emeka Odionu On the platform at The Covenant Place, Iganmu Lagos; the former governor of Anambra state, as one of the invited guests spoke on a number of issues which are trending in the media. It was not an interactive session, so there was no opportunity to ask him questions hence the uninformed in Anambra politics “ga ekwe nke Pita kwulu”. I've been getting calls and inbox messages from Nigerians at home and in diaspora as regards Obi's speech on the "platform" and I've done my best to explain to them "as onye no mgbe ife melu the true situation of things" but on a second thought decided to explain certain things online, not as a media aide to anybody but as "ezigbote onye Anambra" 1. Peter OBI told us that he kept N75b for his successor but he didn't tell us that part of the money he claimed he kept was a N9b NIPP money given to Anambra state by Obasanjo in which Anambra state made no financial contributions neither did he tell us that Anambra states Equity shares of N750m from Emenite Roofing Industry (a Michael Okpalla investment) which was shared to all Eastern states in the early 90's was part of his N75b He also forgot to tell us that N1b agricultural loan given to farmers in Anambra state by the federal government is in his N75b handover note. 2. Peter OBI told us that he kept N75b for his successor but he did not tell us that he awarded a contract of N184b in his last year in office, paid N78b and bequeathed a debt of N106b to his successor. 3. Peter Obi asked governors to scrap the office of First Lady to save cost but did not tell us that his wife operated the office of First Lady with all the paraphernalia. In what capacity did Magarete Obi tour 177 communities in Anambra state thrice? Was the office of First Lady built after Obi's tenure? 4. Peter OBI told us that he kept N75b for his successor but did not tell us that he inherited N11.2b from his predecessor, Dr. Chris Ngige. He avoided telling us that the Federal Government roads in Anambra state constructed by Dr Ngige valued at about N30b was re-imbursed to him. 5. Peter OBI did not tell us that he killed the third tier of government in Anambra state by not conducting Local Government election for eight years he governed until two months to handover. 6. Peter Obi, speaking on “the platform” did not tell us that he employed more than 5000 civil servants two months to handover which he never did in his eight years rule. 7. Obi admonished incumbent governors to stop drinking champagne in government house to save cost but didn't tell us that the day Gov Obiano won, bottles of champagne were brought out from government house and shared to jubilants. 8. Obi told us he never slept in a hotel where a room was N250,000 a night to save cost but he didn't tell us how his aide was apprehended moving our security vote of N250m by road to Lagos. 9. Peter Obi admonished youths to go into politics to be influential and ask their leaders questions but the youths of his senatorial zone are being shortchanged and employment eludes them because of PDP's lingering court case sponsored by Obi. Obi did not tell us that he was the one frustrating his senatorial zone from having a senator when he was speaking on “the platform” 10. On “the platform”, Obi spoke on “cutting cost of governance” but did not tell us if sharing N40b to his friends and cronies on what he termed “Final Push” two months to handover was one of the ways to save cost of governance. Pastor Poju Oyemade is doing well on his programme called “The Platform” but he should to add to the programme an opportunity to ask questions to debunk hypocrisy. |

Chukazu: U said what u feel. But get a constitution of any political party u will read it clear spelt that the PARTY is Supreme over any individual. APGA made him to Win same way APGA made Obiano to win and rendering to OBJ will he win the national election without PDP. Even in elections voting u vote PARTY not Individual cause the ballot papers does not have any picture or name of contestants. So I say it again no individual is greater than any political party. |

whiskystan: Hehehe, I am only interested in no. 7. So because Obi used champagne to celebrate Obiano's victory in the government house. Obiano thought that the government is all about champagne and then turned champagne to water |

ceeethru: When Jonathan made him Executive chairman of Security and Exchange Commission, I remember people raining insults on Jonathan not knowing that Jonathan values his financial acumen. Some of these career business men can be very smart but we overlook it. Another person worth listening to is Ifeanyi Ubah...very smart man, whom, had we listened to his economic plan to stop the Naira freefall when it was only 250 Naira, perhaps we won't be at almost 500 Naira TO DOLLAR. |

Clinton9000:Most people living in Nigeria don't think proper again cuz of their lack of exposure. This is what someone wrote over peter obi's speech; One day even Chief Tony Aneni would lecture us on the need to cut cost of governance. And he will give perfect example of how he did it in the past in the midst of the looting brigade which he never deemed necessary to caution. And then there would be calls for him to run for President. Talk of political naivety. No doubt Peter Obi did well as APGA governor of Anambra State but soon after he left power he jumped to the looting PDP, and there is no record of him advising the GEJ regime about the dangers of looting. How can someone in his/her right senses write all these shits? If we really want Nigeria to move forward we need most times put sentiments aside. |
