Reverend OkalaPlease, what is the source of your largely unverifiable submission? Were you out of Nigeria in 1979, or were you too young to comprehend the facts on the ground?I am a Yoruba man who believes that only through balance can we achieve lasting benefits. I always try to put myself in the shoes of my opponent; if something pains them, it would definitely pain me as well.Was there any provision in the 1979 Constitution for the Nigerian President to be elected by an Electoral College? Please share the appropriate section if it existed.Is it fair for a man who had 25% in six states of the federation to be declared winner by the electoral college over a man who had 25% in twelve states? Do you think Shagari's supporters would not have created a crisis or called General Obasanjo a tribalist if Awolowo had emerged president through a bizarre electoral college—especially bearing in mind that Shagari had more popular votes and a greater spread?I too believe Awolowo would have run Nigeria far better than Shagari. But based on the results of the 1979 election, I do not hold a grudge against General Obasanjo unless he intended to create a crisis in the country.I keep telling Africans to always compare like with like. We are not Arabs, Indians, Chinese, or Malays. You can only compare an African leader to another African leader, not to non-Africans. African leaders are as educated as leaders of non-African countries, but they are often very greedy, corrupt, and undisciplined. It is these agelong vices that made us sell our brothers and sisters as slaves during the trans-Saharan and trans-Atlantic slave trade eras.All the regional premiers tried their best for their people when given power to rule around the time of independence. I think it is rather preposterous to overrate or underrate one without considering the level of development they met on ground before assuming office.I am not a fanatical supporter of any Nigerian politician, as they share the common fault of corruption. Peter Obi, whom you are trying to present as a saint, was allegedly caught red-handed with looted Anambra State funds when he was governor. The government of Umaru Yar'Adua insisted that the unexplained cash taken by Obi to Lagos for exchange into dollars be repaid to Anambra State's account through another bank (other than Fidelity Bank, where Obi had substantial interest). Obi complied. The same Obi was reported to have acquired secret assets in the Panama Papers while serving as governor. Was it not the same Obi who invested Anambra State's money in a company where he has equity? The present value of the shares (in US dollar terms) in the brewery—acquired at a grossly overvalued sum—is now worth less than 20% of the original investment. If you are aware of all these, why call Obi a saint?If we want to make Nigeria a great country, we should not be fanatical supporters of any of our politicians; they all have their faults, and none is perfect.Sent from my iPhoneOn 17 Sep 2025, at 18:07, Chukwuemeka Okala <reu...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:"The dummy called Peter Obidiot [Peter Obi] was offered only one job.

But whilst NPP under the leadership of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe grabbed the offer with two hands, Papa (Awo) rejected it outright on principle basis. His words; "What kind of alliance would UPN form with NPN when both parties and their respective leaderships are diametrically and ideologically opposed to each other? Ours wasn't for just political position. More than anything, we wanted to make the country great by giving Nigerians a new lease of life!."May I tell you for free that Papa (Awo), amongst other party leaders of his time, was simply unique, different and most patriotic. Had he ruled Nigeria just for one term, Nigeria would have been rubbing shoulders with economies like Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore and the developed worlds of Europe, UK, Asia and North America, but backward/egocentric forces of the country's ruling class denied Nigeria of that GOLDEN opportunity,Since his final exit from the landscape of the country's political arena, I have not witnessed an Awo's replica until the arrival of Peter Gregory Obi.I make bold to say that Peter Gregory Obi has a lot of Chief Obafemi Awolowo's traits. Yours truly, that's why he REJECTED President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's offer. Like Papa, Nigeria comes first to him before self. I praise God that the county has birthed an arm of serious-minded people multifariously, mostly amongst the youths population. In Papa's time, Nigeria was bereft of the quality of youth-vanguards across its population. It had more of the folks that reason like you. That's why Papa's vision for Nigeria did not fly in his time.Against this backdrop, I can categorically state, without fear of contradiction, that Peter Gregory Obi will be elected as the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2027. And with him on the saddle for a term, Nigeria will take its rightful place as Africa's leading light.I wish you well. MekaEmeka Reuben OkalaLondon, UK"Faith and reason are not necessarily opposed.

>>THE controversial N250 million, allegedly intercepted from an Anambra state contractor in Lagos by the police last month came to an end yesterday, as a three man committee set up by the State House of Assembly, absolved Governor Peter Obi of any wrong doing, stressing that money belonging to Anambra state was not missing.In the report read on the floor of the House by the chairman of the adhoc committee, Mr Gabriel Onyenwife, the committee observed that what transpired was a clear case of contract between a company, Glitz Introverse Ltd owned by Mr. Ejike Onwusogbulu and heads of the 21 local government councils in the state for the supply of 21 units of Ford Ranger 4×4 pick up vans for the police to assist in maintaining security in the state and 21 units of Kia Optima cars for use by the local government officials.The adoption of the report by the House of Assembly, put to an end, insinuations that Governor Obi was involved in money laundering, which had become a campaign issue for his opponents in the state, since the incident was reported.<<

Dumb Architect of Texas Called Cyril Anyanwu:
Peter Obidiot is thr most corrupt thief in Nigeria today. Here is why:
1. Peter Obidiot stole Anambra monies to buy properties in safe haven which he failed to disclose in his asset declaration until Pandora newspaper investigations revealed his stolen assets. On the other hand, Tinubu disclosed all his assets during asset declaration.
2. Peter Obidiot stole N250 million cash years ago, when the naira was a lot of money. His case is still pending at EFCC and ICPC till today
3. Peter Obidiot stole a lot of Anambra people's money and invested it in his family business.
4. Peter Obidiot's N256 Billion Fraud currently pending at EFCC.
The anti-corruption crusade of the Buhari administration may find a renewed vigor in the coming weeks – that is – if the information available to 247ureports.com spans out to be correct. According to the information, the former governor of Anambra State under the political banner of the All progressive grand alliance (APGA), Chief Peter Obi may be invited by the anti-graft body of Nigeria, the Economic and financial crimes commission (EFCC) over possible crimes committed while serving as the governor of the State for 8years. The invitation is same to come within the coming weeks.

Lagos — Once again, he has come out unscathed. Even the allegedly hostile Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-controlled Anambra State House of Assembly has cleared him of complicity in suspected laundering of N250 million state funds intercepted by the Police in Lagos, recently. Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State must have been taken aback with media reports of the N250 million found in possession of one of his aides, which immediately threw up a controversy, especially given his avowed position on transparency and abhorrence of graft.
For Obi, the anxiety generated by the scam is gone too soon, however. The soft-spoken governor has members of the Anayo Nnebe-led State House of Assembly to thank for upholding his own pleadings on the scam. In adopting the report of the three-man committee set up by the Assembly on June 2 to look into the matter and find out what actually transpired, the Anambra State legislature noted that the adoption was to enable the recommendation be accepted by the legislature as a working document, pending the time other reports by other relevant government agencies would be out.
