Dear Peter Obi, General Gowon is not an “Enemy” to be ‘Forgiven’, but a hero to be celebrated!, by Reno Omokri

For years, Peter Obi has been romancing Professor Wole Soyinka and celebrating him on his birthdays. But when Mr Soyinka turned ninety on Saturday, July 13, 2024, Mr. Obi ignored him completely. Why? Because on Thursday, September 14, 2023, Mr. Soyinka had exposed him as an ethnic bigot who directly controls his Obidient hordes and unleashes them on his political enemies.

Speaking at an event in Stellenbosch, South Africa, Mr. Soyinka further revealed that Peter Obi was not rigged out and, that he came third in the 2023 Presidential elections. More importantly, he said that Obi knew that he came third and was only capitalising on the ignorance and gullibility of his supporters to unnecessarily create tension in the country to keep himself viable to rerun in 2027.

Annoyed at Mr. Soyinka’s exposé, Obi blanked him and attempted to use his Obidient movement of rudapests to cancel out Soyinka. But it was as fruitless as a boy trying to quench the sun with his breath.

Peter Obi never explained why he stopped congratulating Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka, but he has explained today why he congratulated General Yakubu Gowon on the former Head of State’s 90th birthday.

Why?

You see, when the rest of the nation is upset with Peter Obi, but the mainstream of Ndi’Igbo is happy with him, Peter Obi does not mind. That is why he carefully avoids saying anything that may upset them.

For example, he has refused to condemn the Monday sit-at-homes declared in the Southeast or condemn killings in the Southeast, as he does in other parts of the country.

Mr. Obi was last week publicly disgraced by a British diplomat for calling the killers of three Supersport journalists ‘non-state actors’ instead of criminals because the killings occurred in his state. The diplomat drew Mr. Obi’s attention to the fact that he had called killers in the North and others in the Southwest criminals. But not the Supersport killers.

Peter Obi is a tribal leader who cannot afford to upset his sectional base. And that is why he had to release a lengthy statement explaining why he congratulated General Gowon on his birthday.

Because a huge chunk of his base, who are sympathetic to the cause of secession from Nigeria being championed by the Indigenous People of Biafra movement, are very diametrically opposed to General Gowon, who they blame for scuttling their 1967-70 dream of seceding from the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

And in his verbose explanation, Peter Obi described General Gowon as an “enemy” to be forgiven. His exact words were as follows:

“I needed to show to the world that the ultimate heroism is forgiving the enemy and moving forward.”

My question to Nigerians is this: is the unity of our country safe in the hands of a man who sees a person who fought a war to preserve Nigeria’s unity as an ‘enemy to be forgiven’?

Peter Obi also described what General Gowon did as ‘acts of evil’.

If a man believes that it is evil to fight to keep Nigeria united, how can you trust that man to be President of a united Nigeria? Would he not have an agenda to undo the ‘evil’ that General Gowon did in keeping Nigeria as one nation under God?

Nigerians should remember that this is a man who, in a leaked audio, plotted a “religious war” against the Muslim Ummah. And now he says this about Nigeria and General Gowon.

The inescapable truth is that Peter Obi’s commitment to one Nigeria is doubtful at best. At worst, he appears to be a closet secessionist who will use executive powers to see to the dismemberment of Nigeria if he ever finds his way to Aso Rock as President.
