"I'm not an ethnic or religious bigot, never discriminated against any tribe or religion"
- Peter Obi.

Here are his facts against the lies and misinformation.
Fake news 1: A false writer said that after the killing of Northerners on the 21st & 22nd of March, 2006, before Mr. Peter Obi became the Governor, that his reaction came in the form of a statement, “you people should tell your people to stop killing our people in the North”.
Fact: This is complete falsehood. If Obi made that statement, it would have been lavishly published by the media. Would the author show us the link where the statement was published?

“Though the disturbances in the State happened before Obi took over

I don't think anyone has labelled #PeterObi a messiah.

No one has dressed him in the messianic gab of "the new sherriff in town, whose presence alone was claimed to have caused power to improve" ala Buhari in 2015.
It is false equivalance to compare the #PeterObi movement of today with the "Sai baba" chants of 2014/2015.

For one, the Buhari myth was just that - a myth - with zero evidence to show any tangible success in the past about Buhari.

In other words, nothing to verify.
But in #PeterObi movement, the man himself repeatedly says #GoAndVerify .

Peter Obi's success stories are there in the public domain.

His way of life is out there in the public domain.

The man has been consistent before, in and out of government.

Now, when Peter Obi was completing his tenure, he needed someone he could trust to continue his legacy.

This person was Oseloka Obaze.

He presented him to the APGA BOT, who expressly rejected him. Why?

Walk with me 🚶🏾‍♂️ 👇🏿
Because during Peter Obi's 8 years tenure, shishi dem no see.

They all knew that Obaze was cut from the same cloth, & they really needed to catch a breath.

Eventually, then APGA chairman, Victor Umeh, championed the emergency of Obiano as the APGA candidate.
In light of this, & knowing that his trusted ally wasn't going to have the chance to build on his legacy, he decided that the right thing to do was to let Anambra people know how much money they had in their coffers, before exiting the stage.

Now that this thread has gathered as much attention as the tweep obviously intended, let's analyse the points raised therein.

Shall we start with what a free trade zone is?

This screenshot is from Britannica's explanation of what a free trade zone is. Pay close attention to
the highlighted areas.

Now, with that in mind, can anyone tell me exactly how Obi was supposed to make Onitsha a free trade zone?

Some of you come here & drop threads upon threads filled with cheap lies, just because both political parties have decided that the opposition
in this election is Peter Obi. That says a lot, considering that these two groups are filled with thieving politicians that have collectively looted the national treasury for years.

They feel threatened by a man who exudes competence & credibility, & a track record of being
