@Mss_Deeynah Buhari was not in charge and you will be in charge?? How will that happen when you could not take charge of Parties built by other people and handed over to you?? You are also not in charge of your stand on Fuel subsidy removal with all the prevarications. Na waa o!

@ItsInUrBody@peculiarchichii Why I agree with you is because it is not right spiritually to pay back wrong with wrong. The mans body belong to the woman as well as the woman's own based on marital vows. Sex should not be used as a weapon of punishment rather for healing of hurt and emotional wounds maturely
What if Peter Obi replicates his Anambra borrowing model at the national level?🤔
Borrow $50 billion from the World Bank, but refuse to use it.😆
The debt remains.
The infrastructure deficit remains.
Congratulations🤦🙆..you've borrowed without solving the problem.
That’s the Anambra story.✍️
@rolsocool@frank3001895751@AnambraNewMedia Exactly. He should stop making it look like he has done no evil. We all know what Nigeria politics can do those that out your hand in it. But trying to say that he was very different from them is what they are trying to correct by all these. He should just stop talking any how
@ennyola0015 He does not want to miss a moment of crowd shouting his name in the street. He will prefer such moments over real strategic governance. That is why he talks more about where to visit than what to fix. Primary school, condolences, church, market, IDP camp etc.
@AishaYesufu Peter Obi and Control can't be on the same page. is it Control of APGA that Ojukuw left for him, is it PDP, or Labor Party and even the NDC that he does not know the source of funds for the party.
@davexmanilo@HAHayatu I do not think that anyone is dragging his campaign strategy with him except the people he wanted to go and condole with. They were not at home with that, and refused him access. They too have right to who they can allow and when they can allow such person into their affairs.
Politicians will always be politicians
This is why I am not easily moved by mumu outrage online.
Peter Obi says he is visiting victims of last year's Yelwata massacre.
His whole body is campaign billboard of NDC. And he was moving with a battalion of press people. But he says it's not political. 😂
Obi has not visited Lilu Community or Azia or Orsumoghu, all in Anambra State, his home state. They have all experienced the horror of insecurity in the hands of IPOB (never mind that Obi said IPOB have not done anything wrong).
You won't see Obi in Oru in Imo State or even ordinary Ihiala or Mgbidi.
So, while I condemn every form of violence against people, it is also necessary that politicians like Obi tone down the hypocrisy and desperation to milk the misfortune of communities for political gains so as not to attract this type of political response from people who understand the game.
Obi obviously has been looking for a scene of tragedy to visit and "console" but since there is no new massacre and that the intensity of insecurity has been ebbing considerably over the past two months, he decides to return to Yelwata, Benue for photo ops.
We all know what we are doing...
@woye1@PeterObi As simple as ABCD.! You are a presidential candidate and it is campaign period. You are free to campaign in every Nigerian state. But whoever adviced you to disguise and call it a condolences visit after several months did not advice you well. That campaign strategy is bad.
@izunna_24@DavidsOffor The real truth is that Benue State is a very volatile state when it comes to security issues. Condolences visit by a high profile individual like PO has tendencies to wake sleeping dog especially when it not a recent event. Make it campaign and move in and do it, not condolence
@engr2468@emmaikumeh Very wrong analysis. Is he saying that Atiku' Vote did not count or he did not vote for anyone? The other two can't get zero votes each as he analyzed.
Every day seems to bring a new development that unsettles the expectations of the Atikulates and the Obidients. Just when they believe they have found a reason for optimism, another headline, policy outcome, or political reality emerges to challenge their narrative and dampen their excitement.
Take your time to see this video till the end .
@Imranmuhdz Is it office of the president or office of the local Government chairman that is being described here?. I am seeing a mentality that wants to reduce the office of the president to that of local government chairman or at best that of the Governor.
Now that it has been reported that TPFRN has achieved one of the things Mr Peter Obi wants to achieve in office, another campaign point has been punctured
