There is nobody in this 2027 election that is more qualified to run for President like Peter Obi
There’s a reason why he’s still the most competent in Nigeria today ..
Go and verify.
For years, they have searched for any trace of fraud, corruption, or misappropriation of public funds linked to His Excellency Peter Obi, yet they have not been able to find even the slightest evidence.
They have launched countless smear campaigns in a desperate attempt to drag Peter Obi into the same dirty waters in which they swim and sleep. Every one of those attempts has failed.
Now, Kenneth Okonkwo, who appears deeply pained that Obi refused to play the politics of bribery, thuggery, and political patronage like most other politicians, has found his way into the camp of those willing to acquire power at any cost.
Yet, even from his new camp, Kenneth continues to demonstrate an apparent obsession with Peter Obi’s rare and untainted reputation. His repeated attacks seem less like political criticism and more like frustration at a standard of public service that remains beyond reproach.
Today, they are attempting to hold Peter Obi responsible for the internal leadership affairs of a political party he joined only recently.
Let it be clearly understood that millions of Nigerians are not following Peter Obi because of any political party. They are following him because of the values, discipline, prudence, and integrity he represents.
Peter Obi is an individual. He is a presidential candidate, just as there are other candidates within the same political party. To continuously attribute every alleged failure or inadequacy of party leadership to him is intellectually dishonest and politically disingenuous.
The desperation with which some people seek to tie Peter Obi’s name to matters beyond his control reveals something deeper than political disagreement. It reveals a fear of his popularity and credibility that has gradually transformed into resentment.
I only wish our laws permitted credible individuals to contest elections independently, without the need for political parties. If that were possible, many Nigerians would gladly support Peter Obi based on his record, character, and competence alone.
To see the hypocrisy and envy, look at the caliber of men they are praising as they are attacking PO.
The hate against this one man is just too much, even though he occupies no political office.
-KAA
I have listened to everything Kenneth Okonkwo, Bwala, Reno, Momodu, Abure, and others have said about Peter Obi.
I have concluded that PO is no longer the better candidate but the BEST CHOICE for 2027.
The fact that they all hate him is exactly why we want him in power in 2027
The entire Aso Rock media team Daniel Bwala, Reno Mockery, FFK, Sunday Dare, Bayo Onanuga, all primary is to attack Peter Obi
The governors are already incentivised to work against Obi
Datti Baba-Ahmed and his brother are motivated to start attacking Obi
Kenneth Okonkwo and the entire Atiku Mikano Boys already mobilised to lunch attacks on Obi
Arabambi reactivated and mobilised against Obi and Apapa is waiting to receive his own Alert
The Data Boys are back into the payroll for just one mission, attack Obi
All these are because Obi is their nightmare. Atiku doesn't pose any threat to them, hence they're not bothered about him.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THE OBIDIENTS ARE LIKE THE CHINESE BATALION, AN IMMOVABLE FORCE.
Rev, you don’t know what Peter Obi wants from political parties — I do.
Grab a coffee and I will explain — it’s a long one.
It’s clear to me, and anyone who is paying attention, that Peter Obi is laser-focused on being president. Full stop.
He wants to lay a foundation upon which this country will begin the recovery of its soul.
PO sees everything else as a distraction or performative.
By the way, he doesn’t need to prove himself anymore. He won the last election and will win the next one — but I digress.
A close watcher of the man will see that he is channelling precious energy and resources towards making sure that he wins again and that his mandate is not stolen a second time.
Energy is finite. Wise people pick their battles.
Fighting random proxies like Lamidi Apapa to prove a point is useless in the extreme. Committing the enormous time and energy required to prove that he can hold a political party with willpower alone when courts are in the pockets of APC is like urinating on a rock just to prove that wet rocks glint in the sun.
Political parties as is currently constituted is a cage that he must work within. So to make sure his name is on the ballot, the man has to tear up the rule book you, and the undiscerning are judging him by.
Pause for a moment and acknowledge that the data points you’re using to judge Peter Obi today is after the fact.
Let’s do a thought experiment.
Imagine it’s the night of 23th May, 2022, days before the PDP primaries:
- Your name is Peter Gregory Onwubuasi Obi.
- Your brand is that you will never pay for votes.
- You already know that tens of thousands of dollars are greasing the palms of delegates.
Answer honestly.
What would you do?
Would you in your craziest thoughts imagine that moving to Labour Party, a party that doesn’t appear even as a footnote, is a remote option?
Would you fancy your chances with 9 months to prepare for an election?
Would you dare slog it out alone without anyone of note in your corner?
What would be your assessment of a person’s concern for your wellbeing, were they to suggest such madness?
Your answer (and mine) is very simple, unless you’re lying to yourself.
“Oga just go home, you don try. As you no dey give shishi, Nigerian politics is not for you. Even if you get shishi to give, you can’t outspend Atiku and Wike.”
But what did Peter Obi do?
He moved to Labour Party and reignited hope in young hearts up and down the country.
He read the mood of the people and mapped out a path and a campaign plan that he executed flawlessly.
A man who has that level of insane belief in his abilities is who you flippantly speak about instead of humbly taking notes?
People forget that Peter Obi’s appeal is not a random act of nature. It derives from an intentional life — painstakingly built over 6 decades to withstand the type of pressure that will forge diamonds.
So when you say, offhandedly, that he has a large following, do well to remember that he earned it! His followership didn’t fall from the sky. He earned that shit!
Now tell me this, what would you do if the umpire and your opponents are in the same WhatsApp group?
It is most unwise to loose a second of focus playing by the rules that they invent to keep you running around in circles. Reminds me of a clip I saw once of a cat chasing laser shone on a wall.
If they set up the rules so that instead of fighting them, you are chasing a sliver of laser, you refuse, you flip the rules or you don’t play at all.
Is it not instructive that the arguments you have about his relationship with political parties are the same as Wike and the APC (the trap setters) use against him? That should give you pause.
Finally Rev, instead of marvelling at a man dodging bullets like Neo in the Matrix, you sound unhappy that he isn’t standing still and taking the bullets in the stomach like a real man.
I am trying very hard to remain civil. Still, I genuinely struggle to understand why, particularly among many men of the pulpit, discussions about Peter Obi so often focus on what you believe he lacks or where you think he falls short.
Rarely do I hear emphasis placed on the qualities that are actually worth emulating: a man who won his party's primaries fairly, who is widely regarded for his integrity, consistency, discipline, and enduring principles. These are virtues that closely mirror the kind of character Christians should aspire to cultivate.
Yet, instead of highlighting those qualities, the conversation often gravitates toward political calculations and traits that appear uncomfortably close to the godfatherism and morally ambiguous actions many of us claim to oppose.
I fully acknowledge that everyone, including pastors, has the right to their political preferences and convictions. However, I would respectfully ask that we recognize what is at stake. Our collective future is on the line, and the standards we choose to celebrate or dismiss today will shape the kind of society we leave behind tomorrow.
You have a right to be foolish, I wouldn’t judge you for that. I have been foolish long enough to learn not to condemn the fool. But you have no right to be evil, and to support a continuation of Nigeria in its current form, is to be complicit in the evil that it is..
Last week, Apostle Tolu Agboola talked about how, during the bandit attack, a prominent Muslim man in Ogbomosho ran to him and said:
"We know you have the means to flee this city, but you chose to stay, and that is why we are still here too."
He cried at IEC when he said this.
He said the world is looking to us for hope and answers, and prayed that it would not be said that we have a name and a boast we cannot substantiate.
This happened while everyone was running helter-skelter, trying to retrieve their children from schools.
A prominent Muslim man ran to a pastor in a time of crisis.
The people criticizing the Church are not always criticizing it in the way we think.
Sometimes, they have an inclination that is being misexpressed.
You say the God we serve is the only true God. He is the One who made all people in His image.
He is the One who wrote His moral law on the hearts of men.
So it is fitting that in times of darkness, crisis, trials, and tribulations, people seek their Maker.
And since not everyone has a relationship with Him, many turn to His ecclesia, His temple on earth.
This was what I was trying to say yesterday.
The Church means something.
This is the people among whom God dwells on the earth.
Do you know what that means?
We are the body of Christ.
You wonder why people “drag” the Church more than others? Perhaps it is because people instinctively expect something from the Church.
Jesus did say we are the light of the world. So in times of crisis, why are we surprised when people turn to the Church?
WE SHOULD HAVE ANSWERS.
We should, guys.
We are the ones who have access to God. God is King over all nations, and we can go boldly to His throne.
Why then is our land desolate while the enemy ravages the innocent?
Why are our prophets quiet, and why do we not see our signs?
Why?
Something deep within the hearts of people is crying out to God, albeit imperfectly.
Just like Mary blamed Jesus for not coming earlier to save her brother and said if He had come sooner, he would not have died.
It is similar to some of the agitations we are seeing now.
Mary’s motive was sincere, but her expression was imperfect.
In the same way, many Nigerians are expressing frustration, grief, and longing.
But Mary was right about one thing: only Jesus is life.
He alone could save her brother.
And He did.
Similarly, I believe the Church has answers in times of darkness, and people are looking to us. Sometimes, it seems we have not responded in proportion to the moment.
I am glad that some pastors have spoken up.
But the Church has more power than merely speaking up.
We are not merely activists.
We are spiritual people entrusted with carrying the witness of Christ into the world.
But have we?
Finally, during the carnage of Abacha’s era, Christians prayed fervently.
There is even a popular story that Abacha reportedly told Buhari, “As long as those Christians are praying their prayers, you can never be president.”
Whether every retelling is exact or not, the point remains:
People believed prayer mattered.
You think the Church is crowds on a Sunday with lights and music?
No.
The Church is more than gatherings and aesthetics.
There is something beyond human power that God does through His people.
That is what I have been talking about.
I pray God helps the Church.
To @SecRubio:
PLEASE REPOST.
@PeterObi is the best candidate for president of Nigeria, but he is destined to lose to the orrupt Tinubu unless the voting system is reformed from violence and corruption to free and fair elections. Will you enact diplomacy to help? cc: @WhiteHouse
I am a Yoruba woman - both my parents are from Egba land in Ogun State, and I am married to an Ijebu man. I am a full-blooded Yoruba woman.
I supported and voted for Peter Obi in 2023 (check my other handle @RealitycheckNJ), and I will gladly do it again.
If you love this country, I beg you in God’s name - get your PVC and come out to vote en masse. We cannot continue like this. What is happening in this country is not sustainable. I take God beg una. 🙏🏽
A slightly long read, but I implore your patience 🙏🏽
On this day, 3years ago, the lives of millions of Nigerians changed from bad to worse.
We lost counts of the death toll.
Many lost their source of livelihood from international companies leaving, to personal businesses folding due to alarming cost of operations and meager patronage.
Some families have been left forever traumatized from losing loved ones to kidnappers, and terrorists, even after selling everything they owned to pay ransom.
Education is at its lowest, as tuition tripled with deceit of the NELFUND loan shark of a government.
Electricity became an opportunity for classism, with fraudulent different bands. It became both unavailable and unaffordable.
‘Epileptic’ suddenly became less a word to describe our national grid.
Without proper prior preparations and notice, cost per litre of petrol spiked from N198/L to N500/L, and N1350/L today.
I know this stoic government are banking on our usual amnesia on Election Day in January, 2027, but please while considering your stomach, think of your children and grandchildren.
What will be left of Nigeria if we continue like this???
I am not affiliated with any political party.
I’m sworn to Peter Obi because he’s competent and a better choice than others.
Any political party he goes to, me and my friends will be there to turn it up.
Nigeria must be OK.
