The people eating Nigeria’s money and their children are not joining us in all these social media madness and regular fights.

Use your brain.

ADC has:

No Governor
No Senator
No LGA Chairman
No HOR
No Councilor

But today, you’re ‘confident’ you can use structureless party to win Presidency

Do you know why?

Because in 2022, one ‘Brave man’ went into the field to show you that it is Possible.

Respect his Name.📌

This article by Segun Adeniyi was written in 2014, long before Obi became a presidential aspirant

*Peter Obi on Democracy Day By Olusegun Adeniyi*

When I encountered the immediate past Governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, in Abuja about three weeks ago at his hotel room, he was discussing with an estate agent who was trying to secure for him accommodation to rent at his personal expense. Coming at a period in which many of his colleagues have bastardised section 124 (subsection 5) of the 1999 Constitution which deals with the remunerations (including gratuity) of governors and deputy governors, Obi has proved to be refreshingly different. And on a day such as this, he provides a ready example of the kind of moderation expected of our political office holders if this democracy is to endure.

In a nation where accountability is in short supply, there is perhaps no greater threat today than the impunity with which government officials and their spouses, at practically all levels, appropriate to themselves and cronies scarce public resources. They fly private jets (where they don't buy one with government funds), stay in the most expensive hotels both within and outside the country, erect big mansions they hardly live in while moving around in convoys of the latest automobiles. To compound the situation, it is not enough that they enjoy such luxury at the expense of the people while in office, they also want to continue with it after office hence they now make laws to confer on themselves such criminal indulgences as private citizens.

However, as I said earlier, Peter Obi is different. He remains probably the most modest person to have been governor under the current dispensation while his lifestyle must have saved Anambra State billions of Naira, especially when compared with the cost of maintaining his colleagues. Even when he was already a wealthy man before assuming office, Obi exhibited uncommon decency and humility while in office. Within the country, he travelled light, just with one aide and always on commercial airlines as opposed to his colleagues who travelled by private jets. And whenever he travelled outside the country, you would only find Obi in the business class compartment.

As we therefore mark the 15th anniversary of our democratic journey under the current dispensation, Obi's story is particularly instructive against the background that on Monday, the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly passed an executive bill which guarantees Governor Godswill Akpabio about N200 million annually for life. At a time he would have left Uyo (and probably while still earning several millions of Naira as a sitting senator in Abuja), Akpabio would be entitled to a pension at a rate equivalent to the salary of the sitting Akwa Ibom governor.

The law which only 'upgrades' the earlier version signed by his predecessor, Obong Victor Atta, also provides for a former governor and his spouse a sum not exceeding N5 million per month to employ domestic staff and free medical services at a sum not exceeding N100 million per annum. A befitting accommodation not below a 5-bedroom maisonette in either Abuja or Akwa Ibom is also waiting for a former governor. Of course, the bill does not forget to take care of the deputy governor who is also entitled to some form of luxury after office. Yet as scandalous as the foregoing may seem, Akwa Ibom is only following in the footsteps of several other states where former governors have literally put their people in perpetual servitude.

In several of these states, there is a law binding the government to provide mansions both in choice areas of Abuja and their state capital for a former governor who is also entitled to several vehicles and retinue of aides. Kano perhaps provides a prime illustration of this scandal and I enjoin readers to just google the name Shekarau or Kwankwaso over 'pension residence' for former governors to understand the abuse to

Happy birthday dear Peter Obi,
The day I took these pictures with you was one of my most exciting days in the first quarter of the year. I posted it online and APC urchins tried to ruin the excitement.

On this birthday of yours, I have decided to post it again because if you cannot be bullied out of the political space, why then should I allow myself to be bullied when nobody Nose 👃 tomorrow???

Happy birthday Role model!

Happy Birthday Mr. @PeterObi

I have worked with great politicians, Nnamani, Maduekwe etc. Peter Obi is different. Every time with him it is only about how to make Nigeria better. Nothing else.

He doesn’t know everything. But he is eager to to know what will make Nigeria work

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

There are many things that I'm grateful for in this life. My family, my talents, my career, the life that I've been given; & most importantly you. It got to Peter Obi, & I decided to be many times grateful (for the man he has become).

For all the things that we take for granted, there are others yearning for a slice. So I take nothing for granted, it is my soul that I wish to save.

In the midst of all the chaos, the brutality, & the despair; one man was determined to make a stand! Things were beginning to go sideways; it was time someone said, ENOUGH!

He gave Nigerians a reason to smile & be beautiful again. He's got his own sound, there is a ring to it. It will take something greater than the ordinary to pull Nigeria back from the brink.

When you meet him? You know you've been touched by something greater than large.

He has touched many lives, more than we can remember. Now we celebrate him for his courage & determination to be different.

We celebrate him for his love & compassion for those forgotten by a System so determined to keep people down on their knees, defeated.

He has shown us a different path, & we thank him for that. His name is Peter, Obi is his name.

This is me wishing the man of the moment a Happy 64th Birthday. May Eywa continue to keep you for all the great things you’re yet to do
