Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in 2023, says Nigeria’s democracy is collapsing over the suspension of Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers state.

Obi spoke on Monday at the 60th birthday anniversary colloquium of Emeka Ihedioha, the former deputy speaker of the house of representatives.

Speaking during a discussion at the event, Obi recalled how the presidency attempted to intervene when the Anambra house of assembly impeached him as governor.

The Anambra house of assembly impeached Obi as the governor on November 2, 2006. The court reinstated him in February 2007 after he challenged the impeachment.

He said former President Olusegun Obasanjo who governed the country at the time, dispatched a delegation in an attempt to halt his impeachment.

Obi said Nigeria’s democracy which has been progressing since 1999 is now being “knocked down” by the current istration.

“Some people came and knocked everything down. That is the situation we are in now. Everything has been knocked down. Nothing works,” he said.

“I became a governor through the court when President Obasanjo and Atiku were in government.

“I did not pay the court one naira. I was sitting in my office, and the court declared me the winner. It can’t happen in Nigeria today.

“When I was being impeached, the president sent people to come and intervene on my behalf. Ken Nnamani came, begging the house (house of assembly) not to impeach me.

“Today, the president (Tinubu) is impeaching a person (Fubara).

“They were in PDP; I was in APGA. The president was calling and saying, ‘Peter, are you okay? Even when I was impeached, President Obasanjo called and said, ‘Are you okay? Are you safe?

“When the court eventually declared me (the winner) under Andy Uba (as governor), President Yar’Adua called my phone in London and said, ‘Come back. I said, President, I can’t come back.

“When I came back, the military people came and received me at the airport. I couldn’t believe it. And took me straight to him.

“Now, the president would ask me not to come back. Democracy is collapsing.”

On May 18, 2004, Obasanjo declared a state of emergency in Plateau state following violent ethnic and religious clashes.

He suspended Joshua Dariye, the governor, and the state legislature, appointing a retired general, Chris Alli, as the state’s sole .

Hmm, interesting.

Is Peter Obi Wrong or Right?

Bots are still sleeping. They’ll arrive soonest to counter Obi their father.

Labour Party Demands Swift Prosecution in High-Profile Forgery and Conspiracy Case Against Julius Abure, Others in 7-days.

The Labour party accused Julius Abure of violating court orders and conducting an illegal Labour Party National Convention in Nnewi, Anambra State, in March 2024. These actions were described as “illegal, null, and void” by the NCC, citing INEC’s affidavit and the Electoral Act of 2022.

Obi’s brain is collapsing

Of course, it seems like that to sane Nigerians because I believe that our democracy should have grown beyond what we saw in the National Assembly and it started looking like state capturing for the purpose of 2027 just like we had it on the days of OBJ.
Even if Fubara took the wrong steps, you can't use illegality to justify your actions.
Everything about the SOE is anti democratic.
We can't go two steps forward and 10 steps backwards.
We know sey de SOE na to favor on of de two elephants wey dey fight.

Ex Anambra State Governor that did not want to conduct local government elections is talking.. He was in PDP when Governors were removed and harassed, he did not quit the party then. When Fubara destroyed the symbol of democracy in his state, politicians like him kept quiet. Nigerian politicians are hypocrites

Tinubu said worse in 2005/ 2013. U reap what u sow.

My president[color=#770077][/color]

Peter Obi's comments seem driven by lingering bitterness over his election loss, while President Tinubu is simply exercising his authority to uphold the law, not dismantling democracy. 🙆

Obi lamba that upheld democracy by refusing to conduct elections for local government chairmen in Anambra for almost 8 years. Jokers.

Fun fact. Do you know that most of Obi's influencers cannot agree for him to rule Biafolly? They only push him to the country based on tribe not for patriotism.

Another Lamba

You can't win at any supreme court in the world without influencing/bribing

Obi can tell that bunkum to his illiterate ers who don't know right from the left

Peter The Rock 🌟🌟🌟

Obi that did not conduct local government election in Anambra when he was a governor dey talk about democracy 😂😂😂😂. See Him mouth like fowl yansh.

Democracy is at risk of collapse because politicians act in their own self-interest; many are fraudulent, regardless of their outward appearance. Just as there is no honor among thieves, there is seldom an honorable politician.

Counter my comments, no dey sound like typical Obidients

Obi can tell that Lamba to his ers not to those who sabi how things work

It's so obvious that Peter Obi attracted illiterates or perhaps educated illiterates as ers

Democracy wasn't destroyed when you detained a fellow Governor.

Democracy wasn't destroyed when you refused to conduct LG elections in 8 years because you wanted to usurp their authority.

After the civil war, the single largest killer of Igbo youths was James Nwafor of Awkuzu Sars who did this evil under you, Peter Obi as Governor.

When they instituted a Judicial of inquiry into the Awkuzu massacre, why did you, Peter Obi run to get an injunction?

Obi should go and get busy, it is not every time Cho cho cho cho cho. He is not contesting for Local Govt Chairman na Presidency.

"In this case, the Head of the Executive arm of the Government has chosen to collapse the Legislature to enable him govern without the Legislature as a despot. As it is, there is no government in Rivers State."
Supreme Court of Nigeria.

So if he were to be President, he will look away or intervene and allow the Governor continue so they will not say he is a bad man ?

They are all typical politicians trying to be politically correct.

The Fraudulent Reps and Senate of both PDP and LP were all needed to make this truly illegal as provided by the constitution.

They all kept quiet as the Aye had it.

Just imagine just 1/4th of LP and PDP Reps and Senators the same "We sabi good people" voted for screamed Nay, they would have been forced to count vote and may be 2/3 would not be available to ratify the decision. They all kept quiet without 1 Nay suggesting unanimous decision but come out to say they condemn, democracy in danger and other rubbish the low lives amongst the electorate like to hear. Bunch of clowns !

I pity the clownish electorates they are just stimulating and triggering against 2027 elections. They will use them and dump them like they typically do.


If you like take your life serious, if you like be waiting for Atiku who is enjoying his life in Dubai right now or the ones trying to fulfil their lifelong ambition to come and rescue you.
