Assessing Peter Obi As A Presidential Candidate by NigerianAngelo(m): 10:15am On Nov 07, 2022
Nigeria's next President should be one that ticks all the boxes.

1. Even the UN and EU continually rotate positions to reflect their zones.

So those claiming a particular zone or another can repeat the Presidency are wrong.
Nigeria's next President MUST (not "should" be) be from a zone yet to be reflected: such as the Igbos or Efik/Ibibio.

Nigeria's next President MUST be Igbo or Efik.

Granted that Igbos preserve Efik rights, it could be summarised down to Igbo.

(God doesn't want a particular people to always be ruling - Prov 12:24)


2. Nigeria's Next President should provide a counter-balance to the characteristics and preferences of the immediate past rule, to prevent such characteristics or preferences from gaining permanent effects.

Evidently,: All muslims, fulani, and all who identify as "North" in their Creed, are barred from the 2023 Presidency.

PDP was wrong to have not literally zoned the 2023 Presidency.

Nothing like you fight for it. They don't fight in EU. They are not dogs.

Evidently Nigeria's next President should be a Southerner, a true Christian, ... (and as always should fulfill the general conditions for being a President- that is be capable).


4. All who are "Nigerians" in truth, must beat down their political choices to the Igbos in the offering.

5. That could leave Nigerians with just Peter Gregory Obi as candidate.

6. He is not a fraud. The problem is that he is not good enough as candidate.

7. Sometimes forget all the noise and just judge a candidate by his antecedents. Especially when you find it hard to make a certainty from speech.

8. Antecedents teach at least 50% of things and don't lie. After inauguration, and the settling of all the dust, antecedents will show you why they are antecedents. They describe the person in ways, AT LEAST, THAT IS WHAT HE WAS.

8. Peter Gregory Obi:
(i) Did not for eight (cool years conduct Local Government elections

(ii) He had a conspicuously, a most notorious SARS in the nation, despite the SARS being present in all the 36 states of the Federation. - People really haven't heard of Enugu SARS or Kebbi SARS.
How can you be ignorant enough to think you couldn't do anything as a Governor? It is literally a lie.

(iii) Peter Obi saw poverty rise in Anambra State. (Poverty %, Unemployment %, GDP numbers are always the Governors doings or undoings.) Poverty was lower with the "bad" Governors, if they were bad. Because Ngige increased IGR by 100%+ and the roads he built are still all standing.

(iv) The way Peter Obi treated Soludo in 2014 shows he might have been trying to hide something.
They brought Soludo to APGA then excluded him from the voting process. He didn't even enter.

(v) My own memory of Peter Obi presents him as a fraud.

(vi) Peter Obi didn't bring Corporate environment to Anambra. He couldn't even lobby one of the Igbo banks to relocate to Anambra.
All troops of Anambra graduates will leave for Port Harcourt, Lagos or worse, re-enter uneducated business after graduation.
Till date that is by far Anambra's biggest problem: Corporate environment. Scores of adolescents are still being pulled out of schools to be doing boy sales - and Govt can't seem to understand that, that is wrong. You find little persons to interact with or do business with a lot of envy and difficulty.

(vii) He is too quick to disown hard working supporting Nigerians when attacked. He disowned the launched manifesto, disowned Obidient, disowned campaign list... It creates a bad working environment perhaps the reason none of his former associates (except Victor Umeh) has been walking with him. No Commissioner, No Successor, Nothing nothing

(viii) They had to search for a VP for him. He was wasting time traveling to Egypt. Doyin Okupe has helped him a lot.

On the other hand,
1. Peter is Good in security
2. If you are good and have a good product, he will support you.
3. If you surround him with a good team he will perform better. The problem is: you will have to pick that Team without media challenging him, else he may disown.
4. He is a true Christian. If fulani try rubbish you will see this. Not your ordinary Christian. When criminals wanted to be stupid he formed AVG, one of the first in Nigeria.

My assessment is that Nigerians have had what they have struggled for, as for 2023 Candidate.

A little step further and they could have had a better person. If they projected a better candidate as they have done for Peter Obi.
But a good step at a time.

And if Ekweremadu allowed Buhari's Not-Too-Young-To-Run age at 30, Nigeria could have had better candidates in this turn.

Granted God is punishing him currently in the UK. My greetings to him.

The best eligible person in 2027 should come out for President. It is always a Commandment. You can always know if you are capable. (Prov 3:27)
