This man is shallow like his followers.

And take a look at yourself Mr deep sense

The problem with Nigeria is few living big at the expense of the masses. Serving in government as a senator should be voluntary service and structured like youth service. Infact, first class graduates from university every year should be made to be doing it and paid minimum wage. Very wasteful system.

‘They’re for official use’ — Obi defends purchase of ‘N160m’ SUV for lawmakers

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Do you know you're a f**l? Is he the owner of the Labour Party? Hatred and bitterness towards a tribe will never make una progress. An adage says,he who holds one down holds himself!

Exactly what I have been shouting on the roof top. It is natural. You have to stop yourself while trying to stop others. You can't move forward while pinning another person to a spot. Until Nigerians wake up.

Spagi:
U talk too much obi

You should be thanking God that you have someone like him that can challenge our oppressors, beside what he is saying is the fact

Spagi:
U talk too much obi

Do you know that what Obi is condemning is exactly what gave rise to the increase money rituals and internet fraud among young Nigerians?

Now that someone has mentioned it, you have the audacity to say he talks too much?

seanfer:
But this same man bought 400 SUV's for Traditional rulers when he was a Governor..

He knows his followers are fools, so he thinks everyone is also a fool like his forefathers

This one is just talking as if he can change that when elected. Labour party members that were elected have neither reject such nor even push any people friendly bill since elected

After they will say he is a private citizen and people shouldn't drag him.

Peter Obi we too can calculate so allow us to rest from this noise making. It is a shame, well highly hypocritical, that you couldn't tell your Abuja LP people to reject the Cars they gave them.

Is this how you too would have said one thing and done another if you had reached the top table?

We are still waiting for the election expenses you promised by the way. Or is this again how you too would have failed to keep your promises if you had been elected?

HOW DOES OBI ARRIVE AT THAT FIGURE?EXPLAIN TO US ALL!I WILL SIMPLY THOSE ONES ARE THE #PHDINTHEORY!!

The stupidity that is embedded in your lineage will not allow your empty, cursed brain to understand the fact that he won the election but the same system that held down your miserable father from making in life in Nigeria still wants to even make your own life more miserable than that of your wretched father. As a result, they ganged up against you ( you thought it was Peter Obi that they ganged up against ?) by ensuring that they denied you of economic emancipation and dignity so that you would end up the way your late father ended up by being poor all through his life.

obi and others are just using us to play politics.

IfnobeGod20:
You're asking wrong question, you should have asked how much he invested in education during his tenure and not incoherent question.
Meanwhile, the SUVs he bought he bought them when the economy was booming because after that he was able to save for the rainy day. He would not have tried buying such thing in a time of economy hardship.
Again, he bought the SUVs for the deserving monarchs and not those that have before. And not only that, he bought all at innoson and not from foreign owners, hence he used it to boost innoson business. You see the difference?

Since you want to shift the discussion to education, let's go back to the topic of this thread, that Obi raised- disparity in lecturers salary as against politicians.

He was governor of Anambra and by implication the visitor to the Anambra State University. Please tell me if he increased the wages of the lecturers there to a reasonable standard during his time as governor. Or is it now he is out of power he realizes lecturers salaries are peanuts?

The problem I have with Obi is that he talks like someone that isn't part of the system. For God's sake this guy was a governor for 8 good years. The Anambra house of assembly where he could have made changes from, did he reduce the millions they were earning per month while ANSU lecturers were being paid #150k?

The same mumu obi that bought 400 SUVs for traditional rulers when he was the governor. The hypocrisy of this agulu fraud is second to none. How many cars did he buy for the professors in anambra state or did he increase their salaries? Ewu.

The same Peter Obi used Anambra state funds to buy 400 of the brand of SUVs you see in this photo for 400 Anambra traditional rulers. Many of those traditional rulers and Igwes were even illiterate.

How much were these SUVs between 2006 and 2014 when Obi was at the helm of affairs in Anambra State? And what was his commitments to the welfare of the workers and people of Anambra State who were on industrial strikes for about 13 months?

If this is not hypocrisy, then what is hypocrisy? What a bitter politics? The worst of its kind by Peter Obi since amalgamation in 1914.

How many PhD holders and professors are among the richest people in the world? This fellow talks with zero wisdom and more of playing to the gallery. How many PhD holders are richer than him that submits SSCE results to be president? Is there a law stopping any PhD holders from contesting to be in the house of assembly? What difference have the phd holders in government made so far? Obi is a ball joggler asking to be the world best player.

Says a Ph.d holder .
For once, Obi is saying the truth. Never mind that it was written for him by a faceless pseudo-intellectual based in "the abroad"

In a sane society one would hv expected these greedy senators to show remorse and reduce or cut their monthly pay along with other allowances, but no. They rather die than do that.

CodeTemplar:
It may take some civil servants 100 years to afford a hajj slot. The assumption for elective offices is that majority of the people are making the best choice. I cant fault an SSCE holder finding himself in HoR or Senate.
The comparison is a lil bit off. How many professors have truly advanced the body of knowledge they are suppose to? Ask them to look inwards for extra revenue and you start hearing about pure water and bread factories as ideas.

Even if they have idea, who will sponsor it, before we even talk of implementation. This polithiefian are killing everything

yarimo:
Did he buy the cars or not?

Peter Obi has never been against spending but he is against spending more than you can produce. We have many indigenous vehicle companies in Nigeria what stopped senators from getting vehicles from them. The white vehicle Davido goes around with of recent is made in Nigeria so why can't the senators that claim that they represent Nigeria buy made in Nigeria?

I know many of you type rubbish online because of the stipend you being paid but sometimes still use your conscience.

When God answered my prayer and I wa given a visa to travel our that I realized what it really means to be a citizen of a nation. How can one spend precious time to get education only to end up being lead by stick illiterates,for me it's bye bye to a cursed people, they almost messes up my life by struggling Todo everything by myself govt has no responsibility they steal all the money but in a well plannedecomy govt is responsible for your well being.

pquaver:
, what kind of useless question is that? Will the company make professors buy the suv in 1 week? Very foolish question

Yes, professors can by vehicle from them within a short period of time because it is an indigenous vehicle company and they can pay by instalments and the revenue goes back into Nigeria economy. This is why I say you people comments without sense just because of monthly stipend you are being paid.

You sound frustrated and bitter, better go and look for help before it gets too late.
