The Director General of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation, Otunba Gbenga Daniel has given reasons why Mr. Peter Obi was picked as the running mate to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Abubakar.

The 57-year-old Obi was a former governor of Anambra State and a former Chairman of Fidelity Bank Plc.

In a statement on Friday, Daniel said Mr. Obi’s choice was largely influenced by his youthfulness, vast knowledge of global and local economics as well as being a financial expert, all experience which Nigeria is in great need at this point in time.

“This ticket will be able to steer our nation back on the path of progress, economic prosperity and unity”, Daniel said.

Born 19th July, 1961, Obi attended the Christ the King College, Onitsha and later proceeded to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.

The statement continued, “He is also a graduate of several international and national institutions such as the Lagos Business School, Harvard Business School, London School of Economics, Columbia Business School, Institute of Management, Switzerland, Kellogg Graduate School, Oxford University and Cambridge University.

“In public service, he has led various divisions some of which includes: Member, Presidential Economic Management Team; Vice-Chairman, Nigeria Governors’ Forum; Chairman, South-East Governors’ Forum, and the Governor of Anambra State.

“Peter Obi is an astute professional who has laid his footprints across the corporate world. He was the Chairman, Board of Security and Exchange Commission (SEC); former Chairman, Fidelity Bank PLC; former Chairman, Guardian Express Mortgage Bank; former Chairman, Future Views Securities; former Chairman, Paymaster Nigeria; former Chairman, Next International Nigeria; former Director, Guardian Express Bank PLC; former Director, Chams Nigeria PLC; former Director, Emerging Capital: former Director, Card Centre PLC.

“He is a member of the British Institute of Directors (IOD), Nigerian Chartered Institute of Bankers and Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG).

Obi has oaid his leaderahip dues. No doubt

I've since Atikulated .

I refused to be fooled by Buhari again .

Where did Aisha Buhari got 2.5 billion naira her aide stole/re-looted?

Where did Yussuf Buhari got over N50million naira he used in purchasing a power bike ??

ZARAH buhari is one of the directors at NNPC, her monthly take home is 6million naira , but Nigeria civil servants are paid 18 thousand Naira minimum wage .


NIGERIANS, ARE WE FOOLS?

See people way sabi economy not that short dwarf that bribed his way to be a professor

No need explaining the qualities of Obi Mr. OGD. Left for me, even if Atiku contested on a joint ticket with Abubakar Shekau would still have voted for him. I am Atikulate and nothing is ever gonna change that.

See resume!

I am Atikulated

ATIKULATION is a tsunami that will send Buhari to Daura.

BMCs have been silent for sometime now.

Wow

Nigeria is Atikulating for a Recuperation.



I’m wise now!!!
I know what I deserve from my country.

Even if Peter obi went to heaven business school, afonjas will vote for the failure called buhari.

That is how well educated the yorubas are.



So much for awolowo's legacy.

That's untrue! This is not why Atiku picked Obi. Obi is no where close in exposure and brilliance when compared with Charles Soludo. Charles was overlooked because of his verbal sparring with Ngozi Iweala and her mismanagement of the national economy and finance and collaboration with corrupt politicians to loot the treasury. On the other hand, Obi was pro-NOI and was in fact one of those instrumental in filling Jonathan's cabinet overwhelmingly with Ibos. So Obi's selection is an investment for the same set of Ibos who were actors in hijacking Jonathan's government. The treasury is going to be looted again if they get in.

We need economists at this point. And that’s what Atiku is offering us
