Today the *16th* of January *,2023,* Peter Obi was at Chatam house UK to present his Political agenda for assessment by NIGERIANS in diaspora and the Europeans intending to do business in Nigeria.
Last month Tinubu was at the same Chatam house to present his agenda just as Obi did today. While OBI had the benefits of tele-prompter and note book like newscasters, Tinubu spoke extempore and answered questions straight from the heart and allowed his possible future ministers to answer questions on their areas of competence. Reactions to Tinubu's handling of Chatam house interaction was instant, torrential, negative or positive depending on which side of the aisle you are sitting.
For more than a week Tinubu and Chatam house dominated the air waves. Rufai, Seun, and Reuben took turns to compete as to who will win the gold medal on demonisation of Tinubu. The benefit to Tinubu is that he remained topical in the media and beer parlours which is the ambition or desire of every seasoned politician.But the reverse it is in the case of OBI. Obi today was at Chatam house where despite his being advanced or advantaged the benefits of technology, failed woefully. His performance was not inspiring not even worthy of comments or monkey walk from the intrepid Reno Omokri or the garrulous Deji Adeyanju.The Obidients are in hiding and 12 hours after Obi' s interaction at Chatam house the air waves of the opposition media houses are silent and the obidients cyber fingers are still.Tinubu did not have the benefit of one minute respite on his performance at Chatam house before criticisms started pouring in and torrentially from the Obidients. It is no longer open to debate that Peter Obi lacks the depth to handle complex Political issues even if aided.
