Who is Afraid to be OBIdient? – By Folabi Ogunleye

The man is the BEST candidate out there for president of Nigeria. He has an impressive resume as a financial administrator and political leader.

I mean, see how amazingly well he has done for his home state of Anambra, and his South East region in general, and marvel at the sight of it all!

The imprint of his 2-term legacy as governor endures. His masterplan for Anambra continues to be the envy of leaders everywhere across the country, as they try to replicate all he has done for his state and region.

He is unmatched in terms of how he effected the brilliant re-engineering of Anambra’s financial resources to boost revenue, in a manner that pretty much freed Anambra of dependence on federal grants for sustenance.

Under his tenure, the security architecture in Anambra was redesigned to effectively combat crime and make the state much safer, making Anambra arguably the safest state in Nigeria today!

Heavy investments were also made in infrastructural development under this man’s watch. Massive works dotted the land during his tenure and long afterwards, from roadworks and public transportation to housing boom and electricity generation. He actually was the first governor ever in Nigeria to initiate the idea of independent power projects outside of the centralized concept, by bringing outside giants like Siemens and Enron to Anambra.

Check the records. These are facts!

Politically, Anambra never had it better than when he was governor – a legacy that exists to date, thanks to a succession of brilliant young leaders that followed his stewardship. The APGA (All Progressive Grand Alliance) that heralded his governorship in Anambra has grown to be the cynosure of all eyes, the most beautiful bride of the South East, attracting suitors everywhere from Adamawa to Lagos.

It was only a little while ago that APGA was a little-known ‘Ojukwu Party’ to some, but thr party has since grown to be a melting pot of a beautiful diversity that is influential beyond the borders of Igboland, as it engages positively with others in the spirit of diversity and inclusion, under the steady and commited leadership of this man.

Nigeria will so blessed to have someone like him preside over her affairs. He is a leader of leaders; a man of men – a builder. Yet a humble man who is as generous as they come. He is the man Nigeria needs to take Nigeria to the next level.

A natural orator with a voice that booms; a charismatic man with a flashy smile and spectacular sense of humor. Energetic. Problem solving. You hardly hear him talk about what is wrong with Nigeria as he is always offering brilliant, inspiring solutions.

What is not to love about this man? His good spirits percolate all the way down to his generally good-natured supporters. Ever cheerful, ever positive. It is why his supporters stay attracting goodwill wherever they are found or mentioned. And it is all because of this man’s warm, friendly influence. It is why we love him and look forward to him emerging as the next president of Nigeria:

Peter Gregory Obi, GCFR
President and Commander-in-Chief
Federal Republic of Nigeria.
