Introducing the Real Peter Obi – Part 2 by Obiora Aghadinuno

Fashola, Daddy Showkey and Peter Obi

The trouble with Peter Obi is that he was never able to rise above the pale of ordinariness in his eight years as governor of Nigeria’s most gifted state. He lacked the colour, the charisma and the carriage that should come with the governor of Anambra State – land of the brave. In fact, Peter’s personality was intensely antithetical to the fire and glory that are inborn to onye Anambra. Obodo ndi odogwu! Where we are gregarious, excitable and generous, Peter is reclusive, timid and parsimonious. He lacks the oomph, the finishing touches that set us apart from our Igbo brothers. All that Peter has is cunning, deviousness and doublespeak! Even the Ikemba Nnewi, saw that and recoiled from him. His wife, Iyom Bianca expressed horror when Peter’s cunning and deviousness finally unravelled and she was brilliant enough to describe the personage that emerged as “a food-is-ready-politician.” Peter’s transmogrification couldn’t have been better captured, really. Iyom Bianca holds the singular honour of finally peeling off the man’s hood and calling our attention to the Real Peter Obi!

Introducing the Real Peter Obi Part 1 By Obiora Aghadinuno

 
The trouble with Peter Obi is that he thinks that he is cleverer than everyone else. He maintains a bland and colourless surface that conceals a grandiose interior. He talks with the voice of a woman in a labour but carries a heart of stone. He maintains a well cultivated religious outlook but his soul is the engine room of demons. The former governor of Anambra State reminds me of a luscious apple with a large maggot neatly embedded in its middle. So, can we really blame those who mistake him for a good man?
