Many Nigerians still don't want a person like this. But good will prevail this time.
20 years ago at around 5:30 am, Anambra lawmakers impeached Peter Obi because he refused to inflate the state budget and share public money with politicians. If you are criticizing this man on the internet I want you to sit down and think about that for a moment.
A governor was removed because he refused to spend money recklessly, refused to satisfy political godfathers and refused to turn public funds into a settlement for lawmakers.
They accused him of gross misconduct because he drove a Peugeot 406, bought furniture locally and spent far less than the hundreds of millions approved for renovating the Governor's office and Lodge. They thought they could force him out and end his political journey. They were wrong.
The courts overturned his impeachment, and the Supreme Court later reaffirmed his right to complete his constitutionally guaranteed tenure.
Twenty years have passed, but one thing remains clear, Peter Obi's refusal to share public money with the corrupt political class was enough to make him their sworn enemy.
There are very few politicians in Nigeria like Peter Obi and I strongly believe that God has given us another opportunity to get things right in this country. Nigerians, please, do not take this opportunity for granted.

Peter Obi is a very naive politician.
He had all the time - 4 years - to be an alliance with the North but he messed it up.
How can you contest for President without the support of grassroots political leader from the North? It's not possible.
Instead, Peter Obi went to Abagana and picked Kwankwaso.
Went to Isiochi and picked Buba Galadima.
Added Babachir Lawal from Okigwe.
Onboarded Gawuna who's from Afikpo.
And he's working with Binani who's from Elele.
This is really ridiculous. He ought to have built a coalition with the North. 😥
When BUA refinery is ready, it will be like when Glo forced per second billing into the market

Something happened to this boy.
We can only guess.
After Trump made that statement, I was in North America defending the dignity of this country. The President and the USG have since become partners in progress. This man who will never be President of Nigeria is still recycling the insult against his own country.
Let’s be clear. You are free to have a go at your President. There are things I would criticise this administration for myself, and I have knocked governments before and praised them after. That is what honest citizenship looks like. But there is a difference between telling your government it is wrong and telling the world your country is worthless.
Not knowing that difference is one of many reasons Peter Obi will never become President of Nigeria. The most he will ever achieve is what he already has. “Peter Obi is my president,” straight from the book of coping mechanisms
