Let the numbers talk. Peter Obi won 34.39 percent of the votes to get re-elected as Governor of Anambra State in 2010. Nearly two in every three voters went elsewhere. Thirteen years later, the same Anambra gave him 95.24 percent of its votes in the 2023 presidential election. Think about that contrast. Then pause. For context, Willie Obiano was re-elected in 2017 with 55.43 percent. Prof. Charles Soludo was re-elected in 2025 with 72.37 percent. Of the three APGA governors who sought a second term in Anambra, the one now marketed as the gold standard of governance posted (by far) the weakest number. So if anyone tells you Obi scored 88 percent of the South-East votes in 2023 because of his competence and capacity, ask them one simple question. Where was that competence and capacity when he was governor? Why did it not show in his numbers when Anambra people had the chance to renew his mandate? That is before we get to the testimonies of those who watched him govern. Many of the same people later discovered he had been an excellent governor. The discovery came late. It arrived only when he was about to run for president. What changed? 🎵 🎵 before dem use me, I go use my sense🎶 🎶 Use your sense. NRS isn’t taxing that.
