Peter Obi on the 'number one priority' in Nigeria - BBC Africa

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- Campaigning is intensifying in Nigeria ahead of general elections early in 2023.
Peter Obi, of the Labour Party, is seen as one of the country's three main contenders. That is alongside Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling APC, Abubakar Atiku of the main opposition PDP.
Peter Obi is seen as an outsider. For some though he's a refreshing alternative to the traditional candidates and usual suspects. Mr Obi has quickly become a political sensation in the country, attracting huge waves of support from the disaffected youth who are deeply frustrated with the political elite. But his detractors say he is big on plans but gives very little detail of how he'll actually solve the county's myriad problems.
Peter Obi has been speaking to BBC Africa's Peter Okwoche

Thumbs and toes up for Obi the best man for the job. Obi the master. 👍💯For the Obidient
But thumbs, toes and even jumbs up
Am here oooo🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️ if no be obi what else no one
Thumbs not tumbs
The right man for the job!
My favourite Peter Obi quote, “I cannot promise you 100% success. But I do promise 100% effort and 100% sacrifice.”
That is all we are asking.
A vote for Peter Obi is a vote Nigeria 🇳🇬
Lol. Everyone says that. Results are all that matter
Exactly
You can see the sincerity in Obi. Can we give Obi a chance to run Nigeria? Nigerians please let's save Nigeria.
This one no be please na abeg 😢
The people are ready to vote H.E. Peter Obi to power, the major issue is the corrupt electoral body, INEC. For example INEC allowed the registration of non-Nigerians, dead people and even robots in IMO state, Bauchi state and most APC ruling states...so people should sue INEC and ensure the corrupt electoral body does not rig the coming elections..
I will not gonna trust him because he's an Igbo man
This bigot let him fix iboland first
Anambra is not secured
My president mr Peter obi I salute you I will work under you as a military personnel to end insecurity in Nigeria
Thanks bro
It shall be well with you and your family in general.
The Obi effect 😂
Like the Americans would say Thanks For Your Service 👏
It is time for Nigeria to snap out of that repetitive cycle of failure, corruption and bad governance.
Whenever you’re feeling down and dejected about Nigeria, listening to this man instantly lifts the spirit and gives one hope.
We must not let this opportunity pass us by.
A vote for Peter Obi is a vote for Nigeria ✌🏾🇳🇬
Kindly create clipsvto highlight the exhilarating parts of the interview that create this joy so we can share in your joy.
History shows that every president was was worst than the formerly.
@@NFt9ja the first and best way for you to start experiencing the joy that comes with every part of this interview is for you to schedule an appointment with an E.N.T. physician immediately to examine your ears and hopefully he or she will quickly diagnose and prescribe a remedy for your deafness🤫🙄😄
@@stockstock6805 Thanks, my ears are fine.The thing about blind hero worshipping and primal tribal bias is it kills the ability to think rationally. I wish you bliss in your delusions🎩.
@@NFt9ja beautiful question
May God bring Nigeria out of darkness through President Peter Obi 🙏
Darkness is eating Agbado plus cassava in Nigeria.
@@acropolis6816 🦮😆😆🤣😂they dogs on leech bruv. They are always trying to bring God's name into a political mess!
@@jamessmith8049 p
Amen
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭
Everyone voting for Peter Obi, thumbs up! Let's vote sincerity!
I'm a YORUBA man at these moment PETER OBI is our messiah here in Nigeria we're PETER OBI STRUCTURE'S,.
Story
History will tell you how a people treated their Messiah
Peter Obi is the best man for the job but he's no Messiah because nobody can be a messiah. We all, as Nigerians, have to play our own parts too in making the country better
What's being Yoruba got to do with this?
Hunnnn tribalism is over pls vote obi and not baba Tinubu let's try something new pls maria and others it is not story or something
President Peter obi, you are a leader
Social media hailing. Go and get your PVC. Social media analysis paralysis is not the answer
How many press conferences in the history of Nigerian politics has one man be engaged in over and over again. The rest are dumbed and cannot undergo what this man PO has undergone. Such an intelligence
You nailed it.
I swear, I haven't even watched one tenth of his videos plus he has travelled around the world literally including here in Dallas. I haven't heard anything from the other candidates.
The rest spend 1hr talking about is it for eba is it for agbado
Tinubu and Atiku do not believe in press conferences and taking questions from journalists 😄😄😄
A senseless person is in no position to tell who's intelligent. Obi is Dumb but his followers are something else
Nigeria let us get it right! Peter Obi is undeniably the front runner and we need to get him across the finish line.
Nigeria's Oil is being stolen by people in the government - Peter Obi 🤪
Hope you get pvc
🇳🇬🦅❤️
@@makindefrancos_tv4872 Dey play 😂😂
Omo this is one of the best interviews Obi has given yet. Obi is inspiring. Zambia did it. Kenya did it. Lesotho did it. Naija we can do it too.
Wat did dey do in Kenya and Lesotho
I.K your country is beyond repair, they can but won't,
@@kesterakabuike1212 Lol tell me what can not be done fool
How can I like this 1000times....this man broke it down in lame man language ...this is the language the masses understand 👌
His Excellency President Peter Obi
So shall it be!
Nigerians and their love of big titles. Its the big titled people who have looted the country
A visionary leader, selfless and determined to help the Nigeria, a baby that refuses to grow due to severe malnutrition occasioned by bad, evil rulers, who hitherto had mortgaged the future of gullible ones by playing mind game. He said it all. Bad structure that has made Nigerians so divided than ever before and see what we're seeing now, history has indeed been made that Nigerians for the first time are in united front to charge one quinine course jettisoning those primitive political innuendo.
this is the guy,there is sincerity in peter obi,Nigeria should not miss this chance
I like listening to Peter Obi speak. He is a man that inspires and motivates people. Such a wise man that believes in others’ potential.
I honestly thank God that we have such an unassuming personality wanting to identify with this nation at its lowest point.
Please, let’s all go out on the election day to vote for him.
I’m already in✌️
God bless you, our next President.
Same here his speeches motivate me too
We really need to give him a chance next year 🙏🙌
❤
Am frm Sierra Leone support Peter Obi
Peter Obi for president 💪
I strongly trust Mr Peter Obi will do exactly what his saying 💯
He answers the questions asked! Very apt Sir! You hit every nail on the head not missing a single one. I WILL BE SO PROUD TO HAVE YOU AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA! 🙏🏼🤍
This man is "Hope to the nation" personified. We can't afford to miss this opportunity. Currently, am based in NYC, but looking forward to coming back home when I see things start changing... Trust me, there is no place like home.
I am a Tech person planning on investing in Nigeria soon. I also look forward to employing 5-20 people as well.
All we need is that enabling environment to forge ahead and help others too.
NB- I am also a gospel Artist for passion to propagate the word of God, and not for business. 🙏
Nice one brother...with God we can win this fight
Don't forget to make me among those you would like to employ.
@@Enzo.C Amen🙏
Nobody can fix Nigeria. We are not one people. Divide is the only solution.
@@kingsleyobodo9509 I strongly disagree on this my bro. Yes, we have dire challenges in nigeria... Our solution here is unity... I believe OBI-DATTI will unite Nigeria. Let's keep our hopes high and continue to believe in our country. Nigeria will be great again. 🙏🙏
Wow.....lots of Nigerians here on the comments and not one single negative comment.....Peter Obi is truly the man of the people!
Came back to this video after the elections today, and just listening to him uplifted my spirits! The struggle is real but we must overcome!
Much love to President Obi from a fellow hustler in Kenya. The people of Nigeria will definitely triumph!
If you believe that Obi is the best for Nigeria presidency hit the thumb-up button.
Listening to Mr. Obi gives the continent of Africa HOPE . When Nigeria gets it right Africa will get it right.
❤
Say it louder🔊. Our countries will also come out of darkness when the first born is out. Decide Nigeria decide.
Many quotable quotes from Peter Obi's interview. Cant say the same with those of other presidential candidates. All the best Peter Obi!!!!
Because their intentions are not genuine yet they think they can lie their way to the Presidency this time.
Obi is the hope of millions of Nigerian.
He will surely win for all of us❤
I love the Obi-dient type of structure my incoming president has listed here. With him, I am sure Nigeria will have a Mandela of our time.
In actual fact, we need a Jerry Rawlings or a Lee Juan Yew. We will settle for a Julius Malema but not Mandela.
The seeds of the prosperity which Ghanaians enjoy today under President Nana Addo, were planted by Jerry Rawlings in 1979 when Rawlings overthrew the government either eliminated or imprisoned at least 300 corrupt government officials and their syndicated cabals.
We need an educated dictator with a heart of gold and a progressive mind.
I really used to be a FAN 🌀 of Peter obi but after watching this video extensively and painstakingly taking key note into study n considerations and without any iota of doubt I'm now a complete Air Conditioner ❄️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣👍
🤣🤣You are cool bro, keep chilling
Go and get your PVC. Social media analysis paralysis is not the answer
You said it all and you know it all. Peter Obi is a man with vision. Above all a man that is not corrupt. He is simply the best. The largest black nation in the world should have smart and visionary leader for once. We are tired of vision less leaders.
President Peter Obi !!. #NewNigeria
Goods produced in Nigeria can be moved around through freely in the country with Peter Obi. Currently, we can't even move from village to village
Dear BBC Africa, Nigeria has been held in bondage by the political class who ensure that great leaders like Peter Obi do not emerge as presidential candidates. In Peter Obi there is hope for a better Nigeria, I humbly ask that all his message of hope of a new Nigeria be boosted with your BBC Hausa channel so that many of the northerners will know that indeed there is hope.
Thank you.
Apt🤏
Need to pin @bbcafrica
You are indeed a courageous man. Never tired of facing scrutinious questions. I give you my vote.
The president the people deserve. Suffer don tire us all
Abi. 😭😭😭
Go and get your PVC. Social media analysis paralysis is not the answer
@@darknfacee3700 and who told you we don't have PVC.
Peter Obi is the future of Nigeria to survive.
I believe Peter Obi will take us to where we belong in the world and a better standard way of living.
Wherever Obi goes we follow, home or abroad.
Peter Obi is the only candidate speaking to the issues that deeply affect us.
He is a blessing to my generation beyond politics.
This man can change things
This is the right man for us in Nigeria
Thank you sir for giving us hope
This man right there is my president
Peter Obi is doing the smart thing by not unveiling details of his plans and specific solutions. There are yet many months to the election. Particularly, he needs to be armed with enough points to distinguish himself from other candidates if and when the debates start.
That's our major problem as a country. It's attitudes like this that births underdevelopment and insecurity.
Dey there dey decieve yourself, you're only making excuse for him cos of your love for him. Sincerely he has no solution in plan that's the plain truth.
He actually knows what he is doing...which is the reason why he emphatically said without going into details...
Ideas rules the world
Yusuf Datti Ahmed has also pointed to this fact before...
Things could easily change for you if you highlight a plan that many of the corrupt leaders consider a threat!!!
@@ricksakes1636 true
What a fantastic man 👨...🇳🇬 we should not miss this opportunity oooooooo
Peter Obi all the way 🔥♥️💪🏾 🇳🇬
My next president of Nigeria 🇳🇬. You are the Moses god had sent to Nigeria, we will not miss you.
Having known Peter Obi for as far as back as 2000, Peter Obi is Magnificent and an Epitome of Excellence!
His excellence Peter Gregory obi
You can see sincerity, courage and willingness in his voice. He's ready to serve Nigeria while his competitors are ready to continue the trend of looting and borrowing to keep Nigerians in the dark. In a sane society free from political sentiments, thuggery, free and fair election conduction, obi will certainly fly 200miles ahead of others. I do hope the INEC chairman sacrifices personal greed and save Nigeria because we all know obi will definitely win d pools but I fear election misconduct and rigging!
Nigeria is about to experience an Exodus through Peter Obi. So, Lift up your voices o ye people of Nigeria, for our redemption draweth nigh. And these bad structures we see today, we shall see them no more.
Damn. Nigeria is about to take a very hard turn. The world should watch out. With Peter Obi, we're coming strong for our rightful place
Peter Obi is a man of virtue, he is a man of character, he is a man that all men and women should aspire to emulate. We need to study this man and be like him, in wisdom, courage, justice and self-control. If this man becomes the Nigerian President next year, there will be a total change in the character of most Nigerians.
We need someone like him
If Nigeria fails to elect Peter obi as president in 2023, then truly there is no hope for this nation.
Lord have mercy. 🇳🇬 🙏🏽
Peter Obi is the most qualified to lead Nigeria,others have nothing to offer ,but old rhetoric of the same failed ways of doing things,Nigerians, vote wisely,this is a chance to move Nigeria towards a different direction to make Nigeria more productive and better direction, for an inclusive productive nation,vote for Peter OBI for a better Nigeria, Obi/Datti for a better Nigeria,thumbs up if you believe in Obi/Datti for president and VP
That’s my president in making
#Obidient gather here 👊
Honesty is considered a personal quality more than a professional one, and its importance illustrates that people want to follow leaders they can personally respect and identify with.
Competent People want their leader to be capable, effective, and experienced; no one wants to follow someone who may lead them into failure.
Inspiring The emotional energy that a leader puts forward will infect her whole team. A leader must be able to communicate her vision in such a way that other people understand her passion and believe that it will improve lives.
Forward-thinking People want their leaders to have a clear idea of where they are headed. They want them to envision a better future and work toward it, rather than merely living with the current status quo. Thanks for your braveness incoming presido ❤ #blessj #obidient
God Bless everyone reading this 🙏🇳🇬🇮🇹
Nigeria is in a volatile situation right now and if change does not come with this election, the so called more established candidates are going to ruin it to the absolute dirt if any of them wins.
Peter Obi is the most deserving because he cares about the common man. Not just with words but his time in office as governor proves so too.
God will keep and use you to turn around the nation
God will make a way for you Peter Obi 🙏
Amen!!!
Nice one my able incoming president Peter Obi
I’m not sure what else Mr Obi have to do to demonstrate to any doubting mind that he is the right man to take up the mantle of the president of Nigeria in 2023.
Nigerians plzz give this man a chance, he seems promising
His responses are Intellectual on top of the food chain 💯🙏
For politicians in civilised countries his responses are standards. For too long Nigerians have voted in semi literate clowns who could not speak with intelligence unless they were reading a pre written speech prepared by someone else
THUMPS UP IF YOUU ARE VOTING OBI
If some people say obi go no where well Nigerians can remain in bondage if that's what you people God bless obi for having the poor ,youth in mind
Nigeria has the chance to overturn the old corrupt order of doing things and usher in a new wind of change over Africa to take its rightful place in the world, Thank God for the new generation that are working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring about change in Nigeria. Obi is just the focus point. The birth of a new movement is taken place with the youths at the front
Peter Obi doesn't know how to tell a lie...DAMN!!! APC and PDP and all their amazing "structure" is what has lead our dear country from one that was absolutely thriving and enjoyable to what it is today. If this is the "stucture" that they're talking about then we want absolutely nothing to do with "structure". Labor Party and Peter Obi-Datti, all the way!!!
That is our incoming president 2023.
A very competent, capable, committed man of integrity 👏 👍 👌
God bless President Peter Obi
Peter Obi is easily the most competent candidate on the ballot. I am strongly rooting for him to win. Nigeria needs to bounce back with competent leadership. The entire continent of Africa and the world stands to benefit immensely.
Mr Peter Obi for president!!!
Obident 🔥🔥🔥
God bless the man 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Mr President, you are they best for the job. For the seek of our children and future generation, let's vote Peter Obi for president.
This man is the only candidate in the Nigerian presidential election that has been interviewed so many times showing he is read to rescue Nigeria , we have to take this chance for a better country or we will walk in the desert for another 40 yrs when a new generation to will fight again for change, its now or never.
Please don't let us miss this man hmmm
What about tinubu?
@@alameenibraheemhameed4346 God forbid 🦇 ting.
Mr Peter Obi, man of integrity and substance, verified. This is a chance for Nigeria to stirred in the right direction. Vote for a man of integrity and character, not tribalism, religion or sentiment..... #vote Peter Obi... be OBIdient
Up Asiwaju 🙌🙌🙌... May God keep u alive n healthy to take this nation forward my Next President 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
The vast landmass in the North is the most valuable underdeveloped asset of the country to move it from distributive to production driven economy aka restructuring - I like the sound of that. Obi also has good ideas for the country.
Peter Obi come 2023. Competence, Character and Capacity. #ObiDient #PeterObiForPresident2023
Thé exercices of answering questions are becoming easier to ride
Bravo Peter !

Good will win over evil in Nigeria. Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed will smell victory in the coming elections, and we will take back our country. We must all work hard and have faith that it will happen. Enough is enough.
Amen enough is eniugh

#VotePeterObi
Let’s goo #Obi2023🔥🔥🔥🔥
PO made me find my way down here
Education is critical. Our people have been largely kept uneducated for the sole purposes of manipulation.
Can you work as Education minister when Obi wins please. You have hit the nail so hard on the right spot😂 I listened to Tinubu yesterday just to be fair to all candidates about their plans for Nigeria but all I got was: 'follow who knows the way'. I was like, this must be the way to lotting, lack of plan to grow Nigeria. He even had the boldness to blame former government as far as PDP after 8 years of Apc. I was beyond stunned😳
@@dstar1166 I listened to him as well and my heart sank and the possibility of a possible Tinubu presidency 🤕🤕
Spot on ...!!
This 💯
This man Peter Obi will try to fix Nigeria, I see the passion in his eyes and body language, A true Nigerian, a die-hard CITIZEN.
Peter obi is our next president
I will surely vote for him
He has the capability to transform the present story of Nigeria.
