Just yesterday, Peter Obi kicked off his 2025 lying season with the New Year with Gbajue, saying that the National Grid had collapsed, when, in fact, it had not collapsed, and was instead experiencing increased capacity. When his lie was exposed, Peter Obi was forced to apologise. But it is a pattern with him.
In 2024, Peter Obi began the New Year by lying that Tanzania had produced so much energy that it had met all its power needs and had to shut down its dams.
Tanzania shut its dams after Cyclone Hidaya flooded its major dams. At the time Peter Obi was spreading his lies that they had met their power needs, Tanzania was, in reality, facing nationwide power blackouts.
The following week, in 2024, Peter Obi then lied that it was a national disgrace for Nigeria to receive wheat donations from Ukraine.
However, he failed to tell Nigerians that Egypt, a country he visited, praised, and urged Nigeria to learn from, also received grain donations from Ukraine and is more dependent on Ukraine for its wheat than Nigeria.
That completely destroyed his argument that it was a national disgrace for Nigeria to receive grain donations from Ukraine. Or does Peter Obi no longer admire Egypt?
Last year, he also lied that a subsisting court judgment ordered the release of Nnamdi Kanu, and President Tinubu refused to obey it. Contrary to Peter Obi’s IPOB-inspired lies, in a unanimous ruling on December 15, 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that Nnamdi Kanu had a case to answer for treason. After that, on May 20, 2024, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja ruled that Nnamdi Kanu should be denied bail.
Peter Obi also claimed that ‘I studied marketing at Harvard’. Peter Obi did not study at Harvard. He went for a short course that usually takes two weeks at Harvard. To claim that he “studied at Harvard” based on that is deceptive, misleading, and manipulative.
Peter Obi only has a first degree, a Second-Class Lower in Philosophy from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Of all the Presidential candidates during the #NigerianElections2023, Peter Obi was the least educationally competent.
Mr. Obi then coiled that he loves Muslims. Actually, Peter Obi plotted a “religious war” (his exact words) against the Muslim Ummah in a leaked audio by Peoples Gazette. He vowed to sue Peoples Gazette. However, more than a year later, he has not sued. Moreover, when asked directly by Charles Aniagolu on Arise TV if that was him on the tape, Peter Obi refused to answer, though the question was repeated thrice.
On January 14, Peter Obi lied that President Tinubu paid for 1411 people to attend #COP28 with government money. The truth is that only 422 of Nigeria’s delegates were publicly funded, and not all of those publicly funded were financed by the Presidency.
Peter Obi next criticised the National Assembly for buying 400 SUVs and said he would have used such monies better. Actually, it turned out that Peter Obi had purchased 400 SUVs for Anambra Igwes when he was Governor.
He thereafter posted on social media that the timing of the Lagos demolitions to prevent flooding was wrong. Yet Peter Obi personally led a demolition team to demolish illegal structures as Anambra Governor. Additionally, he said NOTHING when Soludo demolished structures inAnambra simultaneously as Lagos.
Before that, on November 22, 2023, Peter Obi lied that he accompanied the President of America on a trip. That was a lie. Official records on the White House website indicate otherwise.
Why does Peter Obi lie so much? Why does he spread fake news about Nigeria? Nobody really knows. But one thing is certain: if such a liar ever makes his way into Aso Rock as President, his lies could trigger another civil war in Nigeria.
Can an ethnically heterogeneous and religiously diverse nation survive a committed liar and propounder of fake statistics, as Peter Obi as President? I doubt it. I seriously doubt it..Tap Here To Read Full Details
