Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, presents himself as young Nigerian politician with clean record and ambitions to lead Nigeria into the better tomorrow. Meanwhile his opponents argue that he is not as experienced as is needed for the position he wants. Some point out the fact that Peter Obi has already proved that as a government official he is a nothing but a failure.
Peter Obi served as governor of Anambra from March to November 2006, February to May 2007, and June 2007 to March 2014. During his term as the governor of Anambra he did not manage to impress the public with neither decision making nor diplomatic skills. Adams Oshiomhole, a two-term Edo State governor, stresses out that Peter Obi failed to address the security challenges of the state while he was serving governor in Anambra.
According to many sources Obi was overwhelmed by the nefarious activities of a dreaded gang, known as the Bakassi Boys.
The convener of Concerned Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Ogenyi Okpoku also is not impressed by Obi’s governing record, and claims that reaching out to the governors who have failed their various states is the basis of Peter Obi’s presidential campaign. “The first point of call of Mr Peter Obi is failure. He is patronizing failures. If you check the people that surround his campaign, they’re failures; people that are not able to take responsibility for their actions,” says Ogenyi Okpoku.
For his part Peter Obi did not hesitate to give advice in the sphere he is obviously is not competent enough and has urged governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo to do better in tackling the state’s socioeconomic challenges.
The general question that arises from the past of Peter Obi is the following: if he failed in fixing security challenges in his own state, why anyone would suppose that he can fix the security challenges in the country? The problem of terrorist attacks and overall insecurity in Nigeria is a serious issue that must be addressed as soon as possible with courage and vigor, personality traits that a failure Peter Obi clearly does not possess.
