I grew up in Anambra State, and I saw this up close. One of my classmates’ fathers served as a Commissioner under Peter Obi.
Let me make it very clear:
Peter Obi didn’t build his cabinet around career politicians. He deliberately brought in professionals from different fields, people who already had established careers before government.
My classmate’s dad is a senior lawyer with law chambers in Anambra, Abia, and now Lagos. After serving in government, he simply returned to legal practice. No drama, no clinging to power.
His Chief of Staff, who later became Commissioner for Information, was a professor and lecturer. When the administration ended, she went straight back to academia.
That was the pattern.
These were people who had something to return to, so they weren’t in office to survive. they were there to serve.
Compare that to the usual system dominated by career politicians, where public office becomes a permanent livelihood, and you’ll understand the difference immediately.
It’s really not complicated:
When you appoint professionals, they serve and go back to their lives. When you appoint career politicians, they stay and turn governance into a career.
🇳🇬 Nigeria's presidential nomination form for the major ruling party (APC): ₦100 million ($60k–$120k depending on FX).
🇬🇭 Ghana's presidential nomination form for the New Patriotic Party:
That sits around GHS 50,000 ($4k–$5k).
👉 That’s over 10–20x cheaper than Nigeria.
Then you expect an upright citizen who isn't a criminal, to spend 20x what Ghana pays, because he wants to become president and "work for you" for a salary of #1.5 million per month?
The only thing he'll be focused on as a president is to recoup his investments and that of those who funded his campaign process through massive looting!
CHIEF KEFAS WUNGAK ROPSHIK @KefianoKefas ON THE RECENT SUPREME COURT JUDGEMENT
The People's Democratic Party has, in recent times, endured significant internal turbulence, ideological contestation, and factional divisions that have tested the resilience of our great party. The recent judicial pronouncement by the Supreme Court that invalidated the Ibadan convention, thereby recognizing the Abdulrahman-led leadership represents a critical constitutional moment that demands maturity, restraint, and institutional discipline from all stakeholders. While the certified text of the judgement is yet to be formally released, wisdom dictates that the leadership presently recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission be accorded due legitimacy, rather than subjected to premature or self-serving interpretations of the court’s decision.
This, however, is not a moment for triumphalism or factional celebration. It is a moment for reconciliation, unity, and collective purpose. Amid the uncertainties of recent months, one undeniable truth remains, the People's Democratic Party remains firmly on the ballot in this electoral cycle. That reality vindicates the loyalty and steadfastness of party faithful who refused to abandon the party in its most challenging season. The darkest days are behind us, and with unity and conviction, the light at the end of the tunnel is now clearly within sight.
