Between Charles Aniagolu and Mr. Peter Obi. Aniagolu: “I heard they denied ADC a venue for their convention.” Mr. Peter Obi: “That shows the integrity of Nigeria’s democracy, imagine being denied something as simple as a venue.”

"The sitting government doesn't want other parties to exist." - Mr. Peter Obi speaking right now on Arise TV

When President Olusegun Obasanjo, a Yoruba man, began scheming for a third term in office after the 2003 elections, the then Governor Bola Tinubu, also a Yoruba man, spearheaded the national resistance. Tinubu was in the vanguard of the efforts to defeat the obnoxious Third Term Bill, which was heavily funded by Obasanjo’s hatchet men in the National Assembly. Southwest progressive politicians were vocal in their opposition to the TTA Bill, with only a few within the PDP supporting Obasanjo’s unconstitutional move. Why didn’t Yoruba people unite in support of Obasanjo’s third-term plan? S’East kids, who obviously lack knowledge of the Nigeria’s political history, would come online and readily insult others. Let Akin Tollgate, for instance, openly criticised Peter Obi, whom he national supported, for lacking political strategy to win elections. No one needs a soothsayer to predict the outrage that would follow the post. You would see them shouting “bigotry” while deliberately overlooking the fact that the dumb Agulu Gbajue, despite his name, can never be equated to his tribe in political discussions.

Yet we have maybe 3 performing governors (not including FCT), one dancing governor, and other figure heads and citizens that expect a miracle
