Who needs to know what Obi has done for the Igbo?

admin

Photo : Mr Peter Obi By Uche Ugboajah Any less-than-avid student of history would easily understand the active role played by the people of the Southeast, particularly the Igbo, in the government and politics of Nigeria, from the pre-independence and post-independence eras up until the civil war of 1967 to 1970. Although the Igbo were not the first to encounter Western education, they quickly caught up with and, as many would argue, even overtook their Southwest counterparts. Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, who would later become Nigeria’s first president, albeit in a…

OBI MEDIA TO TINUBU: YOU CANNOT GOVERN BY PROXY, CAMPAIGN THROUGH SURROGATES, AND EXPECT VOTES FROM NIGERIANS

admin

Photo: Mr Peter Obi President Bola Tinubu reportedly says the demands of governance may keep him away from the campaign trail. Nigerians deserve to ask: If he cannot make time to face the electorate, why should surrogates be sent to ask for their votes? The President cannot delegate accountability. He cannot outsource the defence of his record to political allies, party chieftains, and praise singers while millions of Nigerians struggle with the consequences of his government’s policies. Surrogates can speak for the President, but they cannot answer for his failures.…

Nobody becomes a hero by slaying his brother.

admin

Photo: Mr Peter Obi By Stephen Emele YORUBAS PROTECTED TINUBU, but Igboman stripped his brother naked before the village Square, and sat him on the mud, all in the name of “setting the facts straight”. Yorubas had the opportunity of doing similar thing to Tinubu, but they didn’t. During the last election, Tinubu ran on the statement which I consider an “ABSOLUTE FALSEHOOD” that Tinubu developed Lagos; or that he developed the blueprints for Lagos.

Charles Cain Soludo promised to release a second part of his essay on Obi. I am surprised many people are not aware that that was what he just released through Dr Law Mefor under the guise of a press release.
