PETER OBI's Only Offence Was Contesting For The Presidency by Upgrade88(m): 12:02pm On Jan 04 |
I'm deeply saddened and disheartened by the amount of hatred and attacks by some persons against the personality of His Excellency, Sir PETER GREGORY OBI. I have overtime asked myself why all these? What is his offence that warrants all these hatreds and resentments? They even go as far as defaming and assassinating his impeccable character. While I agree that everyone cannot love and support you at same time, I'm utterly dismayed that there's such amount of hatred for PETER OBI. Why is same hatred not extended to Atiku or other contestants? Well, the reason isn't farfetched. It is simply because he decided to throw his hat in the ring, because he decided to exercise his right of franchise as a Bonafide Nigerian by contesting for the highest position in the land. If we are being honest, objective, sincere, logical and rational, we should know that Igbos deserve the Presidency more than any other tribe. Since the inception of democracy till date, An Igbo man has never ruled or govern this country, not even as a vice-president despite being among the three largest ethnic group in Nigeria. Why the marginalisation?. Nigeria doesn't belong to any person or group. Nigeria belongs to all of us. His Excellency, Sir PETER GREGORY OBI isn't a perfect man, neither is a Saint. He has his own flaws and shortcomings just like every other human being but I must be honest with you, of all the contestants, PETER OBI remains the Best fit for this Job. He is least corrupt and the Lesser devil(if I May put it that way). The personal attacks and disrespect is really pointless and unwarranted. If OBI had won, trust me, we wouldn't have being in the mess we are in right now because he would have done better. He would put in place logistics and modalities to first cushion the negative impact of subsidy removal on the citizens even before removing it. Aside the security of lives and properties being the first and primary responsibility of the president, the welfare and well-being of Nigerians remain paramount and sacrosanct. And any Economic policy that does not put the welfare of people into consideration is anti-people. Why would a president come up with policies that are inimical and detrimental to the people he governs?. Despite the removal of fuel subsidy, your president keeps taking loans, so what's now the essence of the subsidy removal in the first place?. They asked us to be patient so we can reap the benefits of their Economic reforms when there is no ray of hope or light at the end of the tunnel. Peter OBI remains the most passionate, sympathetic and empathetic leader we can ever have. Take it or leave it. I noticed we are not ready for the change we are clamoring to have. We hail and praise our oppressors to high heavens. It's sad. Mind you, I'm not an Igbo person before you would say I'm being tribalistic.. But whether the Devils like it or not, OBI will rule this country one day, whether now or later. Let's keep Hope alive. To all lovers of His Excellency Sir PETER OBI, Let's remain steadfast and not be dettered or fazed. God bless us all. In God we trust. I'm ONAH, O.O Lagos, Nigeria. 9 Likes 1 Share

He was audacious to challenge the Nigerian deep state through an election, speaking of reforms and a vision for change. The deep state struck back with unmatched force, crushing him under its grip. They prevailed over Obi, but their victory was shortlived —the Nigerian economy lies in ruins, its middle class and skilled workforce decimated. The nation's brightest minds have fled, leaving a hollowed shell behind. May the Nigerian deep state reap the full measure of divine wrath and justice, cursed to oblivion and consumed by God's hot and unyielding anger. 7 Likes |

Even Atiku that has been contesting since 1992 has not even sponsored a post about anybody calling it an offence to have contested, it is lamba king that failed as a governor in the state that he governed that thinks anyone cares. People have been contesting and losing elections before Obi or you were born, people will keep contesting, winning and losing elections long after you and Obi are gone, so all these cry cry post will not add anything to him. He is not the first to lose an election but he is the only contestant doing cho cho cho and then turnaround when people get tired of his cho cho cho. 7 Likes 1 Share |

There are those who would sooner embrace death than see an Igbo man as president or witness the rise of Biafra. But the clock is ticking, and they will meet theirend soon. The chains of their bigotry will shatter under the weight of inevitability—Biafra will rise, or an Igbo man will ascend to the presidency. Their resistance is futile, their hatred a curse upon their heads. Their death wish will become prophecy, and justice will have the final word. 4 Likes |

He is not hated, he is setting up himself for public bashing and daily redicule by suffocating us daily with his non ideological talks. Visit here today vist there tomorrow, react to every mouse that creeps in the kitchen, If his intention are geniue he doesn't have to be on social media. But what do we have?

Your cocaine-sniffing Tinubu is more of a religious bigot than any Nigerian Politician dead or alive.

Peter Obi offence was how he marketed himself, no leader in Nigeria has ever marketed himself as a saint... Most leaders market themselves based on leadership virtues like experience, family history, courage, discipline, strength, wealth, ability to forge long lasting relationships etc. Instead of Peter Obi to follow traditions he decided to portray himself as St. Peter, then his worshippers had the audacity to wonder why people wanted a practical leader to lead them instead of a holier than thou. It's ironic that many of Peter Obi followers support Donald Trump even though Peter Obi is the very sort of individual that Donald Trump mocked heavily in 2016 that got him elected. 2 Likes |

Upgrade88: First, d Igbos don't deserve d presidency more than any of the other 200 ethnic groups in Nigeria. Nigeria is not made up of only d 3 major ethnic groups and d minorities are not inferior to anyone. We all have equal stake. Secondly, Obi is not d best candidate. His record as Anambra gov does not recommend him to many of us. U and ur type may see him as ur best but not us, when he was governor, u guys never celebrated him as d best. I worked in d South East between 2003 and 2010 and I can tell u d best celebrated govs during that era where Chris Ngige and Sullivan Chime of Enugu. Obi became a celebrity out of necessity in 2022 and attributes he never had were attributed to him. Obi has shown a pack of understanding of d issues facing d nation. His incoherence and lack of understanding of d mgt of naira in relation to exchange rate as evidenced in his embarrassing interviews on Arise tv plus his volte face on fuel subsidy removal which after he said he will remove on day one suddenly denied shows how inconsistent he is Nigeria is not an easy nation to govern and it's more about d politics even than d policies. Tinubu's tax reform bill which is a bold attempt to eshrine fiscal federalism has met with so much resistance from within even d president's own party, from d north. How should Obi had pushed any restructuring without d support of Senate President and Speaker than Tinubu has and yet struggling to pass? Obi has not built d political bridges across Nigeria to enable him to push any radical reform. His presidency would be complains and weeping on his part every day. We don not have such luxury. Obi is not d man, suck it in. Obi supporters have unleashed d greatest hate in d history of our democracy. They cancelled anyone who dared not to support him, in 2022/2023 they insulted celebrities who dared to support Tinubu. Remember what they did to Super Eagles platers who initially came out for Tinubu, celebrities like Joke Silver were mocked with her husband's condition, Toyin Abraham and Eniola Badmus were insulted with d most vile words, anyone who came out for Tinubu was caricatured. So Obi may be reaping what he showed through his uncouth supporters. Even Reno Omokri who curse Obi these days took that posture cos Obidients threatened his daughter, he informed Obi and he never cautioned his supporters. Is there any hatred Obidients didn't pour on Tinubu, any vile name they didn't call him? Obidients became vertically a terrorist group So if people hate Obi, it only means d chickens are coming home to roost. I personally don't hate him, he is a Catholic like I am, we share same faith. But he does not have d grit to be president. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Exactly my thoughts. During the campaigns, it was all manner of insults and character defamation. it got worst when the almighty Obi defeated Tinibu in Lagos and alegdedly won the election but Criminal Mahmud Yakubu switched off the server when it was glaring that Obi is winning. After the election, the hatred entered another level. They viewed Obi as a major enemy that wanted to uproot the Baron in power. For that reason, they assembled all arsenal wether within or outside APC to see that Obi is stopped. They brought in FFK, Daniel Bwala, Wike and and that hungry mongrel Reno Omockery. However, the momentum keep getting high. The popularity of Mr Obi keep swelling and by the grace of God the president in the waiting. Obi will change Nigeria for the better. Haters Should continue hating while Obi's chances of assuming power keep growing higher Finally, the country Nigeria is nobody's personal estate. It belongs to all of us and everybody has equal rights and opportunity to rule. To those idiots that will quote me and call me Igbo, I am from Benue state 1 Like |
