Kudos to your brilliant thoughts, Barr. Dele Farotimi. My bold and clear submissions are as follows: 1. Sowore and his likes MUST become a governor first and show us in practical terms that he can handle public trust. Otherwise, words are very cheap. Words are so cheap that brilliant 419s can use well-structured words to dupe people. After Sowore has become governor for 8 years and his bank account is not filled with billions as we all know he's not a billionaire yet and his State is transformed according to his thorough planning, then we can practically believe that he can be trusted with the presidency. He deserves the opportunity to be practically tried and tested. I remember when Oshiomole was a brilliant activist like Sowore, he used great and creative words to persuade us and we loved him just as we love Barr Dele. But after he became governor for 8 years, Oshiomole became a billionaire from being a civil servant by looting public funds and he joined the political vampires that are destroying us. He even had the effrontery to ask other looters like him to decamp to the verified criminal APC for shelter where their sins will be forgiven. So, what people say and what people do are two different things. It is better to do than to talk. Leadership is all about COMPETENCE AND COMPASSION. Eheh, I also remember Dino Milaye, Sowore's co-labourer in activism and very close associate. After he became a Senator, he's now a billionaire who has shown us his great mansions, fleets of most expensive cars that should be more than 30 of them, as his achievements. He has obviously looted public funds meant for the development of his people which is why he has been harrased severally by EFCC and police. So, he has a bad political testimony and has practically become one of the political vampires which is why he'd naturally support a political vampire like Atiku whom he hopes to join in the continuous looting of public money. No political vampire, like Ekweremadu and Co, would vote Peter Obi because they'd not see a kobo to steal. 2. Peter Obi is not the talking type but one who believes in action more than words. You will hear him say, "Why wasting precious time". When you unbiasly listen to Peter Obi, you will see a man who speaks with a pure heart, with energy, with passion and with compassion. It is written, "OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART, THE MOUTH SPEAKS.". If he speaks 100%, he actually plans to do 10,000% owing to the superior capacity of the federal government to access great funds in billions of dollars. Peter Obi loves results more than words. He loves to see where the action is taking place. That's why he went to Egypt and over 30 more countries of the world to see things for himself and he made great contacts and connections. Peter Obi has the most expensive virtue called GOOD CHARACTER. Any NORMAL person can only trust him to deliver because of his uncompromising character and commitment to always do what is right. Doing what is right, is the reason Peter Obi shut doors against the political vampires around him who wanted to steal public money and that earned him impeachment which he later recovered through court. By his consistent good character alone, he qualifies to be trusted with any position of public trust in the world. No wonder, he was trusted by some multinational companies around the world to be their Executive Director and he also became the Chairman of three great banks before he resigned. His consistent good character in all his public life even before 1999 is the reason he has such solid boldness to even challenge all the political vampires in power who think he's like one of them to GO AND VERIFY. With all his obvious good claims that should greatly annoy the political vampires, especially now that he has no supposed godfather, even buhari's bulldogs, the mighty EFCC, who have all the investigative resources and connections, have not been able to find just one wrongdoing against Peter Obi till tomorrow. Something they are desperately seeking to find and will be very happy to find if at all they can because the man is very CLEAN. They should rather give him a historic award of excellence in public trust. And that is a greater reason to sincerely trust Peter Obi. It is the same GOOD CHARACTER of the simply amazing Peter Obi that made him to reject some juicy things due him as a governor which includes lands, money, etc. He shared all his Security Votes with all the schools and hospitals in his State. He also left over 75billion for the new administration. And before he left office, he removed his own name from receiving pension that is due governors which comes in hundreds of millions of Naira annually (over 400 million. Sokoto is 700million) with some incentives like brand new Jeeps, etc, since 2014 till date. That is a very GOOD, RARE AND UNCOMMON CHARACTER which qualifies him to be trusted! No politician in the history of Nigeria has done that! He's the ONLY ONE! He has practically shown outstanding, unequal, unmatched and very high superior COMPETENCE. There's obviously no room for comparison between the great Peter Obi and Sowore! It'd be a great sin for anyone to do so. Currently in Nigeria, Peter Obi is the ONLY CLEAN AND UPRIGHT Political Leader in the history of Nigeria who patiently and indefatigably BUILT for himself a GOOD POLITICAL TESTIMONY that has showcased his unequal, compassionate and overwhelming COMPETENCE which has naturally made him the ONLY GOOD CHOICE for Nigeria's PRESIDENT. Peter Obi is very compassionate, loving, disciplined, humble, accessible, straightforward, deeply dedicated, dependable, credible, creative, courageous, committed, cooperative, COMPETENT and more. He's the kind of person that people like Femi and Sowore should find solace in going closer to and learn from him and support him. He should be your good mentor! Genuinely submit to him! Share your brilliant ideas with him and join his team. All the genuinely good people and brilliant minds should rally around Peter Obi. That's the spirit of patriotism which even Prof Pat Utomi and some others in Labour Party exhibited. Look at his VP, for example, he's absolutely brilliant and humble! You need to hear his VP, Dr. Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, speak. You'd just love the kind of good team that Peter Obi is building. Thank God for saving us from that old, primitive and illiterate vampire. 3. You mentioned EQUITY in one of your brilliant video chats. By EQUITY, therefore, if we still have any Fear of God left, no other tribe should come out to contest the presidency except those from the South East so that we can choose the best candidate among them, just like some highly respected and patriotic Yoruba elders publicly concurred with. However, the amazing Peter Obi is still the unequally good, better and best presidential candidate who has been TRULY TRIED, TESTED AND TRUSTED. His experience with public trust is so historic, uncommon, and unequal. It's something so expensive that no amount of money can buy. His achievements are truly inestimable! So, anyone making derogatory statements or remarks about Peter Obi is actually an AGENT OF DARKNESS. God bless the truly amazing incoming President Peter Obi...!

It is important to note here that a majority of the Nigerian electorate are not intellectuals like Dele Farotimi and a candidate must find a middle ground of engagement to appeal to the entire spectrum. Dealing with the constitution is not so difficult because there's an existing body of recommendations from a constitutional conference which any president can implement, and Obi's stated position on devolution of powers should leave no one in doubt about his willingness to implement that report if he becomes president

You would have to appreciate Prof’s excellent points from the point of theoretical and logical purity, which hardly ever materialises in reality. Clearly, he approves of Showore’s written plan. That tells us his bias towards intellectual theoretical alignment to certain ideal. A look through history shows that in reality, those writs only provide a guide at best, and the most well written ones never achieved anything bcos the actors, who have the natural and experiential credentials, and are lucky enough to be accorded power by the people, use the bits of it that are applicable in their time to achieve greatness for their nations. I don’t know what Showore should do to command the credibility and mass believability currently accorded to Obi. Obi had the privilege of being governor for 8 years, maybe Showore should try the same, that would help him more than any other thing.

You have oil in your head you said it well. Majority of the North are not educated and it will be wrong for open to tell them point black that he get to power today then he will restructure Nigeria tomorrow where you knows they so much depend on oil money and seaport money from South. You need their vote and won't go that way. Abiola was talking too much at his time and they made sure he never get to the seat. You can't tell the current leader that once you get there you will probe him and put him in jail for life and you expect him not do anything to make sure you won't get there. Even it happened in Gambia where the elected president was saying things he will do when he get to power then the current president said he won't step down and Nigeria plus AU has to intervene to reach agreement that he won't prove him before he agreed to step down. The North are almost completely opposite the South in their way of life, understanding and mentality.

I don't agree with the gentleman. Abiola talked too much and they never allowed him to get there. Same with Awolowo. We have seen enough of Obi to know that he is the real deal.

I think Prof counters his own argument when he accedes that restructure is an unpopular topic in the north. Obi-Datti would be shooting them selves in the foot by prioritising restructure now when they are seeking to gain power against incumbent and unbelievably formidable opponents. I’ve heard Obi talk about restructure, and I think it was wise to present his intentions on restructure strictly from the stand point of the benefits derivable to the different regions of Nigeria. This softly softly approach would, if they make it to Aso rock, help them buy the credibility and political credit through delivery of low hanging fruits, to then embark on such a gargantuan change. It would be certain failure to make it the priority now, it will come eventually.

Focus on the things that both north and south would want, even if it’s not their preferred choice: 1. Economy, 2. Effective education geared towards economic productivity. 3. Turning around our existing institutions and ways of working towards greater productivity and accountability. The plan being, if Obi Datti can deliver to a significant degree on these, they would have earned the trust and political capital to sell restructure to the nation, especially the north, not as some utopian cure all, but strictly for its demonstrable benefits for the now and the future. Nobody who champions restructure now, would get it passed even at the local govt level in over 50% of Nigeria.

Excellent analysis and the best so far since 1999. This brings my interest back to politics and discourse again. I gave up months ago. What a brilliant man.

I love this man with passion ,I feel informed whenever I listen to him , e dey always my belle

I donot think Mr. Obi will have to be carrying his manifesto all over the place. I know at one point or the other he had alluded to some of his strategies on the hows. The last time l heard him at Arise news, he spoke of his own model of restructuring and subsidies. He was objective and clear on his methodologies. Even so, stuffs are evolving…. and you count one before you count two. Nigeria is a meticulous enclave. That’s it.

Boss you don't understand what this man is saying.

Peter Obi has been very consistent on how he will reposition Nigeria. Once he gets into power, it could be easier for him to begin to implement restructuring agenda.

Well said, but Obi talked about restructuring Nigeria I watched it live on TVC station 2days ago when he made mentioned that labour party and nnpp are not in line together, but will announce his running mate before Friday, which he has announced yesterday June 7th, Obi has talked about restructuring Nigeria inline with what the proff is talking about, let's give Obi the chance to take Nigeria to our glory land with the new Nigeria plans, to restructure Nigeria and to make Nigeria a productive nation, a manufacturing nation and not a consuming natio. God bless Nigeria. Obedient is our votes.

God continues to blessed that unprecedented learned knowledgeable powerful knowing knowledge. The facts that gave birth to reality. Thank you so much Sir.

Who's this bold Nigerian? Nigeria the sleeping giant has finally woken up!!! I love him already for being sincere and patriotic!!!

This maaann...! 😅😂 Always point blank. INTELLIGENT MAN!

I really love the part where he said “…all these structures becomes useless because the people themselves are the structure”

This Dele made a lot of positive points here. This is kind of man that should be giving advice to any president. Nigeria can actually work if intellectuals with integrity and practical experience work together without selfish interests. This man needs to be in Peter Obi's team. I know we still have such Nigerians who live in Nigeria and abroad.

My God! Dele Farotimi is just amazing. Such brilliance and precision. Top-notch English command. I just love him. Alot of facts stated here. God please give us Peter for the rescue of Nigeria.

Thank you very much Dele Farotimi. I enjoyed the interview . At least it's clear that you made lots of sense. God bless you.

I can listen to this man speak every day

I love listening to this man . Always hitting the nail at right place.

Brilliant presentation as always. Thank you Mr Dele Farotimi.

Enimakure. You are our mind and you have just spoken. Farotimi is journalists' delight and an irresistible public critic with accurate and bold delivery. More grease, more grace & more strength.

This man is so smart that the interviewer’s voice was shaking 😂🙌🏼

As a businessman Obi wants to begin from the economy. That's his plan. Farotimi seems to be of the fallacy that only a conversation about restructuring amounts to a real plan.

This is my first time of listening to this man , his a brave and outspoken man ... I like him so much and i must follow his page ...

I have always loved this man. I stand for restructuring anytime anyday. I am obidient to the core and I hope Peter Obi will restructure the country via the constitution. We will have to ask him as a block and also stand and present it as part of our request. We can also engage with pat utomi and find out what their plans are for restructuring via changing the constitution. Thank you so much sir, much respect for standing for the truth

It's my second time listening to Dele on political issues and on the 2023 election, and I can say this: 1) He understands that the time favours Obi more, and he passionately wish that Obi should be more decisive and direct on the structure of the nation. 2) He wants to see Nigeria work, and he is ready to do whatever it takes to achieve that.

Never the less Obi still remain our best and only hope,let's get him to power and persuade him for restructure, swore should go start as local government counsellor,he has nothing to offer to a destroyed country like Nigeria

I love the way he plays with words. He is indeed an orator

I can't stop listening to Dele Farotimi when he is talking .. he is a good communicator I have learned alot from him already ...

I love and respect Dele Foratimi so much like I do Falana, but I must point out that some of his views expressed here are unrealistic. The northern electorate are not educated enough to reason at his level. They rely on the feudal class to direct them, hence prior to having the power in one's hand, one must be wary of upsetting the apple cart. Restructuring is a threat to the ruling class in the north, who are ideologically bankrupt to see or understand anything beyond a Nigeria with oil to fill their pockets, and their followership too uneducated to have a capacity for critical thinking and the ability to reason for themselves outside what the "ruining" class - apologies to Dele Foratimi - tells them to do. Hence, I think the path Obi is taking is right: keep your ideas that are a threat to the northern ruling class close to one's chest. Win the election. Use your power first to change the composition of the national assembly, then push for the change. It is like confronting an armed person unarmed. Until you have unarmed this person, you can't control what he does. And until you have unarmed him, you must approach carefully. The most important thing to me at this stage is to have persons with integrity, who we know will have the will to make the change happen. Obi has a track record that we can judge him by. Sowore has none, and therefore represents a greater risk to take a chance on. Also, the role that Sowore played in enthroning Buhari in 2015 raises doubt regarding his commitment to affecting a change in Nigeria. Sowore must therefore be disregarded at this point and for the foregoing reasons. Let Obi's record speak for him. He need not say more than he needs to say.

Would like to meet with you because I have 120 questions for you. You're a true citizen and please watch your back but I'm sure that the Lord is with you.

Thank you for actually letting us know where to begin.. I am OBIedient and pray that we look into all you said.

I have read through the comments which I always do and have seen that Nigerians are becoming more assertive in their beliefs and thoughts about their conviction especially about what they want in the next political dispensation no matter who speaks...

MY GOD! I LOVE THIS GUY! I RESPECT HIS BRAIN!! WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO ADVISE THESE OUR SO CALLED LEADERS!!!

Time for campaigns have not reached yet. Obi will surely show us the pathway when the time comes. Who's with me on this?? Obidatti!!!! We move

i watching for 5mins straight then i paused and pinch myself to know if i as asleep as usual, only to realize that what the man was saying is exactly what i'm supposed to be listening to. this is real, all ears needs to not just listen but to to listen attentively. wisdoms was punching my ears. it felt good to listen.

If you think most Nigerians are knowledgeable then you are in for a shock. Restructuring is a taboo word for any politician because poverty, tribal and religious sentiment are reasons working against it. Sowore's manifesto is the reason why he is not yet the president.

APC won the election on restructuring, it was in their manifesto. PO only need to impact the NC, SW, SE and SS to force political change.

Peter Obi said there a state in Nigeria that can’t spend N1billion on educating its pupils in schools but the same state spent over N1billion buying Toyota prado jeeps for its state house assembly members. Yet this same populace in the same state will vote APC & PDP come 2023 and still be questioning God why Nigeria is not progressing. Truly , every populace deserves the leaders it gets.

Always good and insightful from this honorable Barr. Dele Farotimi. Thank you SaharaTV

God bless this Man called Dele Farotimi. He speaks my mind entirely.

Always a pleasure listening to unbiased truth. So disheartening, yet it's the sorry state of our space called nigeria, which is not qualified to be called a nation.

2023 ELECTION and the three major Candidates. This is the first time Nigeria will have 3 Candidates vying for the top job. This Post looks at their REASONS, WHY, CLAIMS and HOW. The three major candidates and their parties are: Tinubu- APC. Atiku- PDP Obi- LP REASONS: 1. Tinubu of APC said it is his turn to be President. 2. Atiku of PDP said he can unite Nigeria. 3. Obi of LP said Nigerians should take back their Country from the corrupt politicians. WHY: Tinubu said he made several people to be Governors, Senators and even the President. Therefore, his friends he helped with several political favors should pave way for him to be President. Atiku said he married Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo wives. Therefore he can use his experience as a good husband to unite a divided Nigeria. Obi said he cannot sleep because of the high rise of insecurity, poverty and disunity in the country. CLAIMS: Tinubu of APC claims he drew the master plan of Lagos and the Governors he made in Lagos followed his plans. He hopes to replicate this same method as President of Nigeria. Atiku of PDP claims during his time as VP, he headed the Economy and sold Government enterprises. He hopes to sell more Government enterprises if he becomes President. Obi of LP claims he developed the educational sector in Anambra when he was Governor. He said he stopped the rampant kidnappings, cut down cost of running Government and saved monies for the next administration. HOW: Tinubu got many APC Presidential aspirants to step down for him and believes his elite friends should support him because he had been generous to their aspirations in the past. He has been issuing quotes and paid many delegates to win the APC primaries. Atiku had great sponsors who paid delegates and got Tambuwal to step down for him at the last minute to make him the winner. He believes he has tried severally to be President hence this is his last chance. Obi was encouraged to join the race by many ordinary Nigerians. But he wasn't happy with the proposed payments to delegates. He left PDP to join the LP and since then, the LP has witnessed a rise in new membership. DISCUSSIONS: Tinubu doesn't make regular TV appearances. He sends media aides to talk for him where they spend airtime looking for how to fault Obi. His background is very controversial. Atiku lives in Dubai but hopes his aides are doing the job for him. He doesn't appear on TV or consults directly. His aides have not told the people what Atiku will do to save Nigeria other than focus on ways to counter Obi. Obi went to Egypt to learn more about their electricity sector. He appears regularly on TV to explain things himself. He has brought many comparisons on how to make Nigeria great again using examples from China, Dubai and even America. His famous word is "go and verify". Fellow Nigerians, let's put aside tribe, religion and region and talk about this post so we can vote wisely in 2023. Thanks for reading and please share on all platforms.

From obvious utterances of Peter Obi every Nigeria asset must come to bear on the economy. For example he vowed to make the vast agricultural landmass of the north produce food and yield more income than oil. However, now that he has dealt with the bugging issue of a running mate expectedly the next will be an articulated manifesto. It’s important we know the things to hold any future government responsible for.

This man is the kind of people whom we need to move Nigeria forward

Makes a lot of sense... Hope Obi is listening to this... Let Dele get closer or Obi come close to him, they ll surely be helpful in changing the system.
