In 2015, I tried to warn Nairalanders about PMB's red flags. I dug up information about his involvement in the 1966 anti-Igbo coup (ethnocentrism with genocidal potential), his sending of soldiers into markets to whip prices down (poor understanding of economics), /1
his decree 4 which criminalized criticising govt officials even truthfully (low tolerance for free speech), and his stubborn authoritarian approach to govt. People didn't care because they felt that he couldn't possibly be worse than Goodluck Jonathan. The rest is history. /2

My life hasn't been the same since I read about Peter Obi's N250m money laundering scandal.
Packing large sums of money into suitcases & sneaking them around is associated with crime.
I can't imagine any next gen politician stooping that low. Soludo, NOI, etc would NEVER do that.
"Gov Obi stated that the money found in the vehicles belongs to Anambra State & was meant for payment to a contractors who wanted cash.
When asked why he should pay such a huge amount of money in cash instead of draft or cheque, the Gov couldn't give a reasonable answer."Vanguard
