The Director General of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation, Otunba Gbenga Daniel has given reasons why Mr. Peter Obi was picked as the running mate to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Abubakar.

The 57-year-old Obi was a former governor of Anambra State and a former Chairman of Fidelity Bank Plc.

In a statement on Friday, Daniel said Mr. Obi’s choice was largely influenced by his youthfulness, vast knowledge of global and local economics as well as being a financial expert, all experience which Nigeria is in great need at this point in time.

“This ticket will be able to steer our nation back on the path of progress, economic prosperity and unity”, Daniel said.

Born 19th July, 1961, Obi attended the Christ the King College, Onitsha and later proceeded to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.

The statement continued, “He is also a graduate of several international and national institutions such as the Lagos Business School, Harvard Business School, London School of Economics, Columbia Business School, Institute of Management, Switzerland, Kellogg Graduate School, Oxford University and Cambridge University.

“In public service, he has led various divisions some of which includes: Member, Presidential Economic Management Team; Vice-Chairman, Nigeria Governors’ Forum; Chairman, South-East Governors’ Forum, and the Governor of Anambra State.

“Peter Obi is an astute professional who has laid his footprints across the corporate world. He was the Chairman, Board of Security and Exchange Commission (SEC); former Chairman, Fidelity Bank PLC; former Chairman, Guardian Express Mortgage Bank; former Chairman, Future Views Securities; former Chairman, Paymaster Nigeria; former Chairman, Next International Nigeria; former Director, Guardian Express Bank PLC; former Director, Chams Nigeria PLC; former Director, Emerging Capital: former Director, Card Centre PLC.

“He is a member of the British Institute of Directors (IOD), Nigerian Chartered Institute of Bankers and Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG).

Great...we shall witness B+B (Business minded leaders at the Top come 2019) and not BMC (Buhari Media Crew) running riot at the Top.

Both ( Atiku and Peter) have the requisite business practical and theoretical experience. Investor delight.

Not the herdsman and academic (being referred below) we have at the moment. They have ran the battery of our economy down through hard starting and inexperience angry

The man has intergrity and committment with Nigerians from all tribes. Unlike the Aso rock Professor that surrounded himself with his tribal people.

Peter Obi would be a better candidate for the presidency.


The only reason he's been selected is to pacify, compensate and buy the South Easterners.

As much as I'm not a fan of Peter Obi, I have always ired that he did well as Governor of Anambra and is one of the few Igbo politicians with any intergrity

I don't like the man because he is an agent of denying Igbos their right of self determination just like any other Nigerian politician and I'm for self determination of Igbos more than anything else

For all practical purposes, the North has an unfinished term. So Peter Obi, or any southerner for that matter, cannot be president in 2019.

This nice cv is good as vice president of the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist organization.
I am so happy that terrorist nnamdi kanu is happy in his grave, that they have achieved what they want,
No more agitation for succession again.
And i hope terrorist nnamdi kanu will not agitate again from his early grave and be demanding for biafra if Peter obi lost the 2019 election.
Thief atiku and peter obi can only be president and vice president respectively of the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist organization.

Really? Integrity? You see why the coupist called you all lazy Nigger area youths.....

In the next 4 years Obi will be involved in another party because he has integrity
