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.
This, he did, when he included this 👇🏿 in his handover note.
At the time Obiano took over, there were no words from him about Peter Obi leaving any debts, until almost 3 years later.
Why did this come up?
Because, Peter Obi making his savings public, made it harder for the
incoming governor to misappropriate public funds.
That was when the baseless smear campaign about Peter Obi leaving huge debts surfaced.
At the time Obiano started making these claims through Victor Umeh & Osita Chukwulobelu, Peter Obi came out & challenged them to an open
public debate about the issue 👇🏿
This challenge was never honoured by Obiano's camp.
In the end, it became obvious to everyone, that the govt knew they'd be held accountable by the people of Anambra, & sought to use a smear campaign to dispute Obi's obvious record & integrity.
However, as faith would have it, on Obi's visit to Governor Darius Ishaku, while he was on his travels to engage PDP delegates, Governor Ishaku made this speech 👇🏿, recounting a conversation he had with the same Governor Willie Obiano.
I really don't know how I feel when I see tweets like this. I can't tell if they come from a place of being poorly informed, or from a place of mischief.
Anybody that witnessed these 2 incidents, can clearly tell the difference.
2015 & sold as a "reformed democrat" to gullible citizens.
Those of us who were very aware of his antecedents kept screaming then. Just a little research into his time as military dictator in the 80s would have been enough to burst that charade; but, just as we are showing now
too, with these comparisons, we are really not a people of research.
Peter Obi is not being packaged by anyone. His antecedents literally speak for him. This man's credibility is literally littered all over the Internet & SM. This is why I find it hard to ever believe tweets
Listen up everyone, let me tell you why it is very important that this Peter Obi movement is successful.
It returns power to we the people.
It means that every other politician, who aspires to the highest office in the land, will have to start to show all workings, in order
to have the backing of the people.
It means, that we have the power to continually decide who becomes our president going forward; enshrining equity, justice, fairness, competence, & credibility.
It means that we can dare to dream of a Seyi Makinde presidency in the future,
made possible by the sheer will of the people.
It means that we will no longer care about political parties, but care about whoever is the best candidate at the time, irrespective of what party they belong to.
This movement is iconic, & should not be taken lightly.
I woke up to the news that little known Dubem Kachikwu beat Kingsley Muoghalu & Monye at a "heavily dollarised primary election" to become ADC presidential flag bearer.
These are the issues. Two of the most brilliant & refreshing candidates in this election cycle, sidelined by
dollarisation.
Now, imagine if Peter Obi had not been proactive enough to jump ship early, that's how we'd have had to, yet again, be faced with a choice of the lesser evil.
Can we all now see the size of the problem we face?
Whatever happens in the next elections,
we the people have a civil responsibility to drive a change in our electioneering process, most especially the primaries process, by pressuring the legislature, to make better electoral laws, even if we have to protest for it.
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
Do you remember when I told you that elections are as much about numbers, as they about psychological warfare?
Now, I want to help you bring into focus, certain things that have been going on, that you may not
understand, but that are aimed at psychologically conditioning you.
If you watch your TL closely, you'd notice concerted & persistent efforts by certain "influencers", to beat down downplay Peter Obi's chances at the elections.
They employ all manner of tactics to achieve this
Now, also remember that initially, these are the same people that kept referring to Peter Obi with terms like "twitter president", & saying things like "Elections are not won on twitter", & "you people don't have PVCs".
Now that they've seen the massive mobilisation of youths
