On this auspicious occasion of the birthday of His Excellency, Mr. Peter Gregory Obi, CON, we celebrate not only a statesman of uncommon integrity but also a leader whose life of service and compassion continues to impact positively on humanity.

‘The Arabs in old times used to say. Four things separate brothers: wealth, women, jealousy, and death. Four things make you lose your value among people: talking too much, laughing too much, lying and gossiping. Four things by which a wife ruins her home: stubbornness, anger, suspicion, and raising her voice. Four things by which a man ruins his home: distance, neglect, harshness, and stinginess.’
Go and verify.
While the ancien régime erects opulent mansions in Abuja—David Mark, Rotimi Amaechi, Atiku Abubakar, Seriake Dickson, Dino Melaye, Aminu Tambuwal, and indeed nearly every former governor and senator—Peter Obi remains the luminous exception.
He is not merely different; he is the standard.
He has publicly declared: “If you find any land or house in Abuja bearing my name, seize it.”
His sole ancestral home stands modestly in Onitsha.
When duty calls in Abuja, Lagos, Kano or Port Harcourt, he simply checks into a hotel.
No palaces. No pretence. No plunder.
What a man.
Small wonder some politicians admire him, others cannot comprehend him, and the rest, consumed by envy, plot ceaselessly to diminish him.
Yet the arc of Nigeria’s destiny bends toward such uncommon integrity.
@DailyPostNGR While this is not exactly what he said as captioned, he should do it. If the government is busy freeing terrorists in the name of repentance, why keep NK in prison
@OurFavOnlineDoc But come to think of it, is this shenanigans allowed by the constitution or it's allowed in primaries by @inecnigeria
I don't just understand why no one's talking about it
