PETER OBI: The promising candidate and  waiting game of would-be supporters

By Chidiebere Nwobodo

"People who stand in the middle of the road get run over"

           Rush Limbaugh 

As at today, if opinion poll is conducted, Peter Obi is the leading presidential aspirant among the declared aspirants in the two major political parties. Yemi Osinbajo could have been competing with Obi on this pedestal but the vice president's ignoble role in the present administration gravely punctured his popularity. He cannot extricate himself from Buhari's colossal failure of leadership. 

Peter Obi's popularity is growing like a wildlife because some Nigerians have started accepting the hard truth—Nigeria is in dire strait; the nation is dithering and tethering towards a collapse, and only someone in Peter Obi's capacity and competence will lead the rescue mission post-2023 general elections.

A lot of enthusiastic Nigerians have expressed readiness to go the whole hog and extra mile to campaign for Peter Obi, only if PDP will give him its ticket. So, Nigerians who are of this school of thought, are sitting on the fence praying that Peter Obi emerges the PDP's flag bearer before they will go full length to market his personality and political ideology. 

Then the million-dollar question is: who is the PDP? The PDP is the leading opposition political party made up of Nigerians. The PDP is not composed of aliens. The delegates and those that influence delegates during presidential primary are not foreigners, but Nigerians as well who read our opinions cum analyses on social and mainstream media. They also have felt excruciating pain of bad governance in the last seven years, like every other Nigerian. 

In essence, if you truly believe in Peter Obi's presidency as what the nation needs today to stop progressing in error and start revolutionary recovery process, you have to get to work now. If Peter Obi's supporters can overwhelm Nigerians with the possibility and practicability of his presidency in solving myriads of woes bedeviling the nation, before the presidential primary slated for end of May, 2022, the PDP, being a party that wants to return to power, won't have option but to join the momentum.

But if you're waiting for Peter Obi to battle the moneybags, of which some of them are veterans in presidential primaries, let me bring you bad news—we will end up having uninspiring cum uninteresting candidates presented to us to choose between the devil and deep blue sea.

Nigerians who have faith in Peter Obi's philosophy of governance, must let the PDP understand that, among its aspirants as at today, only a Peter Obi can motivate Nigerians to go out in the streets to campaign for the PDP and defend its votes to return to power. Peter Obi is not popular with some of the political elite class because he does not believe in sharing government funds.

The political merchants who see every election cycle as opportunity to get slush funds, will never support a Peter Obi to clinch the ticket. To them, politics is their major means of economic survival. So, if you want a Peter Obi candidature, there is no time to stand in the middle of the road—you have to take side now, risk your desired candidate being run over. 

 It is your little support, together with that of others like you, will make the PDP choose Peter Obi as its candidate. And once he emerges as the PDP candidate, the moneybags and the political elite club will key in, because nothing will stop an idea whose time has come.

There is no time to sit on the fence. If you believe in Peter Obi and what he can do for us, our children and generations of Nigerians unborn, the defining moment of great decision has beckoned. Spread the message.

SECRETS ABOUT WOMEN

SECRETS ABOUT WOMEN !

Uyah Humphrey

1, When a woman is angry, she doesn't mean over half of what she says, if possible always hug her to calm her down.

2 The most difficult time for a woman is when she is away from the man she

truly loves. She can get distressed.

3 lt takes time for a woman to trust a man, its hard to change her mind when, she does, but if you mess-up, you might just forget it.

4 A woman is such a school you will never graduate from.

5 Your wedding certificate with her is not a "driving licence", its just a "Learners permit'. Continue wooing her.

6 She can be very bitter now, and a very sweet angel later on, it all lies in your

approach. Yes treat her right always.

7 A woman hardly forget things, she remembers hurts more, avoid making

her hurt. Avoid negative words and affirm her always.

8 A woman can be highly secretive.. Most times when they prove hard to men, they go to their closet and cry to friends. Make your woman your best friend.

9 All women Love to be begged. Men often miss out on this. Yes please handle them like babies sometime its all they want.

10 All women have a unique character like salt, their presence might not be

noticed but their absence makes all things tasteless.

11 If  she loves you she can do everything you ask of her as far as it makes u happy, so never force her to love you.

12 If you don't take care of her, she will find someone who will. They are always there only that she chose you.

13 If a woman truly loves you, even to ask money from you she will be shy, but as a gentleman don't wait to be asked and most especially if she loves you she can never leave you to spend unnecessarily.. thats what makes them special..

If you have a good woman in your life, don't take her for granted. They areexpensive jewelry.

Senator Ekwunife canvasses support for Gov. Soludo for improved security

 Senator Ekwunife canvasses support for Gov. Soludo for improved security

In a bid to find a permanent solution to the lingering security challenges facing the state, the Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, Iyom Uche Ekwunife, has called on stakeholders to rally round the governor of Anambra state, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo in his efforts towards tackling insecurity in the state.

Senator Ekwunife, who made the call during a one-day peace building and security dialogue session on Saturday in Awka, congratulated the governor for the initiative, emphasizing that security was everyone’s responsibility.

She charged the residents of the state to be vigilant, adopt the “see something say something” approach and report any suspicious activity in their neighbourhoods to the appropriate quarters.

Speaking further, the federal lawmaker urged the government to invest in intelligence gathering through the use of technology, upgrade the equipment of the security operatives and improve their welfare.

According to the Senator, a seamless and secured information platform for the people to feel protected to share timely security information should be enabled by the state

While highlighting poor parenting as one of the major sources of insecurity, Senator Ekwunife, called on parents to rise to the occasion in ensuring that their children and wards were trained under the best moral upbringing.

She advised the State House of Assembly to enact a law for the State Orientation Agency to educate the public on the right behavioural attitude to help curb the menace of insecurity.

In his speech, Governor Soludo commended the stakeholders and everyone for their presence, noting that sustained collaboration, the state would be peaceful and prosperous

FROM THE STABLE OF AYO FAYOSE; ON PETER OBI

I love Igbos but I have to tell them the truth because I love them.

It is now a law to transmit votes electronically, that means rigging of elections has been reduced drastically.

Igbos are only tribe that have 99% of voters in the South East and second highest voters in other regions in Nigeria.

In the South West, after Yoruba votes, Igbo votes come second. Lagos has the highest number of voters in Nigeria and Igbos are competing with Yorubas in voting power in Lagos.

In the South South, we have indigenous Igbos in the South South and all the major cities in the South South are occupied by Igbos. Go to Port Harcourt you will understand what I mean.

In the North Central, go to Jos and all the state capital in the North Central, Igbos are the second largest population after the indigenous people.

In the North West, go to Kano and Kaduna and you will know that Igbos are the second largest population after indigenous people.

In the North East, go to Maidugri and all the state capitals, Igbos are the second largest tribe after the indigenous people.

Go to federal capital territory Abuja, Igbos are the largest population in Abuja today.

If Igbos truly want to determine who will rule this country today, they will but they only sit back and lament without any action.

Peter Obi is the most qualified candidate to rule this country but Igbos are not with their voters card.

Go and get your PVC today!!!

BREAKING: EFCC Arrests Willie Obiano At Lagos Airport

Willie Obiano

EFCC Arrests Willie Obiano At Lagos Airport.

Obiano, who has been on the Commission’s watchlist, was arrested at about 8.30pm.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Thursday arrested former Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport Lagos.

Obiano, who has been on the Commission’s watchlist, was arrested at about 8.30pm.

He was reportedly on his way out of the country to Houston, Texas in the United States.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had placed the former governor on their watchlist.

In a letter to the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service dated November 15, 2021, the Commission requested the Service to place the governor on watchlist and inform it anytime he is travelling out of the country from any of the International airports and other points of entry and exit.

Incumbent governors in Nigeria have immunity from criminal prosecution while in office.

Mr Obiano, 66, left banking to join politics in 2013. He was elected governor of Anambra in November on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) that year.

He was subsequently sworn in on March 16, 2014, succeeding Peter Obi, who is also being investigated by the EFCC.
