When a group of us decided to show a little bit about Mr.
Peter Obi that most members of the public do not know, we felt sufficiently
justified in our actions because we resolved that we will not lie about the man
but present the facts based on his past utterances over eight years as governor
of Anambra State under the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). That is the
making of Peter Obi: The Inconsistency of Man.
Let me make a confession, apart from the time spent on
research and gathering the material the video was done within one Hour because
they are readily available. I know we did not spend more than N50, 000.00 but
had hoped that if we could get the Obiano media team to buy the idea we would
at least recoup the expense but we were rebuffed.
In the last one week, I’ve read laughable things about huge
sums of money being spent to produce and mass produce the video; not to mention
my erstwhile hapless colleague Egbuna Amuta who has been given the rare
privilege of Producer of a ‘big budget phantom video.’ Funny how Obi’s aide,
and his friend Odera of E-mail group has succeeded with their dummy of lies
about the Peter Obi video just to re-enforce their theory of Obi and Obiano
fight. How they managed to get the whole columnists in Nigeria to be telling
the same story without proper fact checking confirms that they must have spent
large sum of money chasing our N50, 000 clip of some things Peter Obi said.
Mind you there are more clips but we were careful enough to leave out some
details less we be accused of hate. Peter is an honorable man but he is hardly
the saint he wants all of us to see.
The fact is that I have not met governor Obiano so he did not
commission us. However, if he has found favour with our output, we are yet to
see the benefits. But let it be known there are many like us, former ABS and
APGA members who would like to tell about the Peter Obi we know. That
Anambra Broadcasting Service has been dragged into this is fortuitous. They
have at least earned some revenue. In Peter Obi days, when I served the place
was abandoned to die. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised they accepted our
terms to air the tape just like every other political party are allowed to air
their programmes and even hold opinions on air against the present governor. In
Peter Obi days, you cannot get that opportunity. Today ABS is back to like and
if our small effort would assist the station to pay my former colleagues, so be
it.
Peter Obi: The Inconsistency of a Man is an effort to show
what we know. Obi’s people should stop blaming others when they are guilty of
fighting and lying about Obiano since he came into office. My advice to former
governor Obi is that he should stop feigning ignorance and call his aides to
order. That way, he will save every Anambrarian and himself from more damaging
revelations in the future. He who is in glass house does not throw stones.
