It is a stark irony of Nigerian politics that Peter Obi—a former governor whose tenure in Anambra was defined by prudent financial management, zero debt, and visible investments in infrastructure and education—remains the country's most heavily scrutinized ex-governor.
While politicians with documented histories of systemic corruption and unexplainable wealth walk free with minimal pushback, Obi’s public record of integrity is constantly dissected under an aggressive microscope.
This double standard exposes a flawed political environment: in Nigeria, transparency and accountability do not shield you from endless political targeting; they inexplicably make you a bigger target for partisan witch-hunts.
There’s no other ex-Governor that can boast of what is contained in the screenshot below. None!
And this is not happening to Obi just because he’s an ex-Governor. It’s happening because he’s running for President.
So, it has gone from a mere spat between Soludo and Obi to a grand national conspiracy of ethnic partisans who are alarmed that Peter Obi is the first Igbo man that appears to have a fighting chance of clinching the presidency since the end of the civil war.
“Remain with your classmates, because I can tell you that in our New Nigeria, you will not be a leader unless you attended a school and people know your classmates.” — Peter Obi
Dear @OselokaHObaze I don’t know why we keep wasting everyone’s time responding to these people. We know where it’s coming from and reason for all these trash. Please can we move forward and face the trash ahead of us. @PeterObi should as well stop responding to these issues moving forward and face the task ahead. BAT and @aonanuga1956 has never told Nigerian people what happened to his school results and schools attended. Please let attend to the most crucial issues. God bless you as you do so 🙏🚶♀️➡️
This is one of the legacies left behind 13 years ago by Peter Obi. You have hundreds of such schools scattered across Anambra. Most are in rural areas: You can see the generator & lab equipment. Soludo has refused to maintain public infrastructures built by Peter Obi.
It may look like a joke, but there is a very serious truth in what Mr Lere is saying. When Mr. Peter Obi meets these young men, he is, in many ways, meeting his real campaign council, the people who stood with him, believed in him and carried his message without demanding positions, contracts, appointments or political favours.
These are not the entitled few who believe politics is an investment from which they must personally profit. These are ordinary Nigerians: the Kwilikwili sellers, the wheelbarrow pushers, drivers, artisans, traders, farmers, market women, students and young people struggling every day to survive.
They are the people who wake up every morning without knowing where their next meal will come from. They are the Nigerians harassed by bandits, kidnappers, criminals and abusive systems. They are the displaced families in Yelwata, Otukpo, Mangu and thousands of IDP camps across the country. They are the millions whose lives are reduced to statistics whenever government wants to announce another figure. These are the real Nigerians. And perhaps that is why the love for Mr. Peter Obi among many of them is so difficult to understand from the comfort of political offices and elite dinner tables. It is not transactional. It is not because somebody promised them a contract. It is not because they were handed an appointment. It is organic love born out of hope.
Mr. Peter Obi's real campaign council may not always sit in a five star hotel. It may happen under a mango tree, beside a roadside kiosk, in a motor park, at a village square, in an IDP camp, or around the woman frying kose somewhere in a village in Ogbadibo.
It may be the driver carrying passengers while discussing the future of Nigeria. It may be the trader selling tomatoes in the market.
It may be the young man pushing a wheelbarrow to earn his daily bread. It may be the mother who has lost everything but still believes Nigeria can be better. It may be the farmer who cannot safely return to his farm. It may be the displaced Nigerian sleeping in an IDP camp who still says, “Nigeria must work.” These people may not have titles, but they have a stake in Nigeria. So, yes, laugh at the picture if you want. But look carefully. There is something profoundly powerful happening in that photograph. A leader is standing with the people who have nothing to give him except their trust. And if we are serious about building a new Nigeria, those are precisely the people whose voices must matter.
The real campaign council of Nigeria is not made up only of the powerful. It is made up of the millions who are struggling, surviving and still refusing to give up on their country. That is where the movement lives. Under the mango tree. In the market. On the road. In the villages. In the IDP camps. Among the people. And that is where the future of Nigeria will ultimately be decided.

"Peter Obi left office as Governor of Anambra State in 2014. He has not been a governor for more than 12 years. He is not a minister. He is not a sitting senator. He is not collecting federal constituency allocation. He is not controlling a state budget. And yet, since 2023, the publicly reported cash value of his interventions in Nigerian schools, universities, hospitals, nursing schools, health institutions and humanitarian causes is already over ₦1 BILLION.
2023: ₦40m — Faith Specialist Hospital, Awka; ₦20m — Faith Foundation Mission Hospital/Nursing College, Nsukka; ₦10m — Millennium College of Nursing Sciences, Awka; ₦10m — Paul University, Awka; ₦1m — Regina Caeli Specialist Hospital; ₦5m — victims and healthcare workers affected by the Kaduna/Tudun Biri bombing; ₦1m — hospital bill of an abandoned patient in Enugu; ₦50m — additional support associated with Bishop Shanahan College of Nursing.

And our h£∆dache is that his wife, who can afford a luxury handbag, bought a luxury handbag?
Ndewo nwanne! God will always bring the counsel of the wicked to naught. This man @peterobi has been saying this: I owed no man nothing during my regime and I left very unspent dime in the account of the government for the successive government to carry on the business of the people. No, instead the trending pattern of current governors has become the norm for accusing previous governments of corruption and not paying pensions and salaries. I wonder! Anyway, @PeterObi is unique and conquered greed and owed no man nothing during his tenure - take it to the bank. - I believe him! 🔥🚶♀️➡️
No mind dem! Hired machineries in the form of non aligned politicians…. Everyone trying to fix something that’s broken all in the name of stomach infrastructure. Otherwise tell me what would make a man to pick fights with @PeterObi whom we know doesn’t steal from the masses, don’t believe in wasteful government, who’s humane, delights in supporting and pulling the masses out of poverty. Above all- a man who’s genuine inside out. Hmmm 🤔, tell me why they’re all after him whom the Nigerian youths and even elderly are looking up to now to change our story and our nation. Why do men prefer wickedness and hate? They want the people to remain in abject poverty - frying Akra and kwilie-kwilie. It’s sad - let’s allow something good happen to this nation for once; for goodness sake. Enough of this “pull him down “ nonsense mentality especially my Igbo brothers 😡🚶♀️➡️
@ndcwarroom@ObidientPremier
Financial prudence is a character, not a campaign slogan.
Peter Obi has consistently demonstrated that character; cutting waste and insisting that public resources should work for the people.
In leadership, character matters.
I did this work out of the goodwill of my heart and my contribution towards a better Nigeria. However, I won't say no to gifts or tokens for those that want to appreciate my work.

This isn't for campaign. This is for me to eat good. God bless y'all! 🙏🏿
If you think you deserve a “thank you “ for working towards its actualization , how much more @PeterObi should do that, means you were never truthful. You were deceiving fellows and you can’t be trusted. As Magnus said - what makes you courageous is enduring to the end… Let these guys allows to be. Go and support whosever and let’s have peace of mind 😡🚶♀️➡️
