Peter Obi is a hypocrite, he is not ideologically aligned with any democratic process or struggle. Just as he opportunistically appeared at the winners chapel 'Shiloh', Papa Adeboye's Redemption camp, Eneche's 'Dome' and many other places of christian religious gatherings. The 'Yes Daddy' crooner remembered to honour June 12 for the FIRST time too. Peter Obi religious campaign script is POOR and WEAK! His hypocrisy is HELLISH as well as his opportunistic tendencies typically characterised by strong dispositions and drives similar to his mentor Olusegun Obasanjo who benefited from other people's misfortune throughout, particularly the sacrifice of Bashorun Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola (MKO).
Peter Obi in his usual hypocritical style on June 12, our democracy day, posited: "Today is June 12, June 12 marked in our dear country as Democracy Day . It is a historic day that deserves to be celebrated. On that day in 1993, we the people of Nigeria stated our unreserved preference for true democracy. Though under military rule, we freely chose a transparent voting method. Our votes reflected our true choice as a people. Our choice on that day defied divisions of ethnicity, religion and region." This is certainly not a good idea to demonstrate progressive mindset. It is a dubious mindset of an opportunist who usually benefit from other people's efforts.
Interestingly, Okwute forgot or cleverly concealed his involvement in the activities that truncated the people's mandate. He was the 'man-friday' of the Abacha government and benefited from the inglorious era of despotism. Peter was alleged to be part of the brains behind Arthur Nzeribe's ABN. In the recent past months I have written extensively on the characteristics of Peter 'Gregory' Obi one of which is "Peter Obi A Capitalist With A Socialist Cap" His capacity for mischief surpassed the Minna 'Evil genius'. Peter is sufficiently dubious minded. What a duplicitous mindset.
Unfortunately, many of the social media age children don't know the true story of our democracy vis-a-vis June 12, that's why you see them clamouring for a gold digger, opportunist and an unrepentant liars to become a president. Peter Obi was solidly in support of evil policies and backed Emefiele amid rising inflation, chaotic foreign exchange regime, high interest rate, among other glaring economic challenges. He was packaged as a messiah by those who have successfully highjacked and manipulated the minds of unsuspecting gullible followers excited about magic particularly the restive youths.
His words: “People are talking about the Central Bank Governor, first let me assure you that the CBN governor will maintain his independence, he will be respected. Again, it is not the problem of the person there. CBN has a role in monetary policy. Then, you have the fiscal ecosystem. It’s like you go to a football match and the person who is supposed to be playing a particular wing is no longer there" Again, the loquacious trader turned politician is a master in the art smooth talking. Talks very confidently in a way that is likely to persuade people, but may not be sincere or honest. ...the smooth-talking con-man at his best.
Likewise, Olusegun Obasanjo one of Peter's sponsors: I am usually pained whenever I see Obj talking about democracy or mentorship. He was the greatest showman and beneficiary of God's immeasurable grace. Obasanjo was a direct beneficiary of the struggle of our collective sacrifice. He became President C-in-C of the federal republic of Nigeria on account of Bashorun Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola MKO's mandate 'June 12'. Sadly, throughout his inglorious era nothing for MKO. June 12 was a no go area. Thankfully some of us pushed for a replacement for our democracy day celebration in honor of MKO and June 12 replaced May 29, the preferred day of the junta.
In conclusion, I like to dedicate this article that focuses on June 12, to ever green memory of Bashorun Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola (MKO) who championed the Democracy that many of our past leaders have opportunistically enjoyed. Finally, I salute the courage of our patriots who stood up for Equity, Fair play and Justice. Equally, I recognize those who I personally reach out to during the consultation on the desirability of June 12 as our democracy day: former President Goodluck Jonathan, Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Dr Okwe Nwodo, Chief Wole Olanipekun, Prof Wole Soyinka WS, Femi Falana, Yele Sowore and many others. I salute you all. Nigeria will rise again.
