THESE MEN ARE FAR FAR FAR BETTER THAN OBI, IS AN INSULT TO COMPARE THEM WITH PETER OBI
Below are the contemporaries of Peter Obi
Only those who were politically conscious as at 2006 will remember some, most or all of these men. Many of them are governance giants.
If you were not politically conscious at that time, you really have no right to tell us that Peter Obi performed well because that will amount to dishonesty.
For those of you who know and those who have a conscience that is alive, please take a look at the list below and tell me which of them Peter Obi can measure up to in terms of developing their states?
Yes, I believe that Peter Obi was better than maybe two, three or even four of them at the maximum, but he was no where near some of the best on this list.
Babatunde Fashola, Godswill Akpabio, Rotimi Amaechi, Theodore Orji, Murtala Nyako, Isa Yuguda, Timipre Sylva, Gabriel Suswam, Ali Modu Sheriff, Liyel Imoke, Emmanuel Uduaghan, Martin Elechi, Oserheimen Osunbor and Adams Oshiomhole
Olusegun Oni and Kayode Fayemi, Sullivan Chime, Danjuma Goje, Ikedi Ohakim, Sule Lamido, Namadi Sambo and Patrick Yakowa, Ibrahim Shekarau, Ibrahim Shema, Saidu Dakingari, Ibrahim Idris, Bukola Saraki, Aliyu Doma,
Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu, Gbenga Daniel, Olusegun Agagu and Olusegun Mimiko, Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Rauf Aregbesola, Christopher Alao-Akala, Jonah Jang, Aliyu Wamakko, Danbaba Suntai, Mamman Bello Ali and Ibrahim Gaidam, Mahmud Shinkafi
Most people at the time, didn't even know what Peter Obi achieved other than the issue of his impeachment and the 13 months doctors strike and the Awkuzu massacre.
So, when these revisionists come to social media to laud Peter Obi and launder his image, I wonder if these people think we just became politically conscious in 2022.
Well, I really do not blame many who now elevate him as a Messiah and a saint. Many of them started participating in politics from 2022. I particularly blame the likes of Segun Showunmi and Reno Omokri who started the packaging and whitewashing in 2019.
