Northerners Don’t Trust Peter Obi"? A Dangerous, Divisive Lie. Former ACF Secretary General, Anthony Sani, recently claimed that Northerners do not trust Peter Obi enough to allow him to rule Nigeria, even for a single tenure. But we must ask: don’t trust him how? Will he sell the North? Will he dismantle Arewa? Will he pack the North and auction it off? This kind of narrative is not only misleading, it's deliberately dangerous. It plays directly into the hands of those who benefit from a divided Nigeria. Let’s rewind. Didn’t Buhari rule for 8 years? What did he do? Appointed an overwhelmingly northern and Fulani-dominated cabinet Turned major security arms into ethnic extensions (NSA, Army, Police, Immigration, Customs – all headed by Northerners at one point) Opened the borders for unchecked influx of Fulani herdsmen from Niger, Mali, Chad Even built a rail line from Kano to Maradi in Niger Republic Promoted grazing reserves and Ruga projects Did Buhari not leave power? Was Nigeria handed to Fulani forever? NO. He came, he ruled, he left. Now Tinubu has come and started what looks like a Yoruba state project: FIRS – Zacch Adedeji CBN – Yemi Cardoso Customs – Bashir Adewale Adeniyi Finance – Wale Edun Interior – Tunji-Ojo NSA – Nuhu Ribadu He will also leave when his time is up. So what is Obi going to do that will destroy the North? Will he cancel mosques? Abolish Ramadan? Let’s stop the fear-mongering. Obi is not a dictator. He cannot override the Senate, House, Judiciary, or the system. This is just another old, tired excuse to block credible leadership. It’s 2025. Nigeria has outgrown tribal propaganda. Obi will come, serve his term, and go. Nobody is bigger than Nigeria. ✅ SHARE this truth ✅ TAG someone who needs to hear this ✅ COMMENT your thoughts ✅ LIKE if you agree ✅ FOLLOW @walaatapapers for more real talk #WalaataPapers #PeterObi #NigeriaDecides2027 #SayNoToDivision #OneNigeria ---
