It all started when an educational influencer, Alex Onyia, wrote on his X handle,
“Peter Obi is like Lee Kwan Yu of Singapore. Leaders like him come once in a generation.”
Onyia’s post drew wide attention on social media, with many supporters of Obi echoing the sentiment.
However, Onanuga, spotted the post and left his disapproval. According to him, it is absurd and offensive for anyone to compare Obi to Lee Kuan Yew. He replied:
"I find posts like Onyia’s very amusing. He is possibly posting for some idiots to gobble everything he says. How can anyone in his right senses compare Peter Obi with the late Singaporean leader, Lee Kuan Yew, a name Onyia misspelt?
"We have a proverb in Yoruba: If a man wants to be sharp and bright, he shows the traits in infancy. Peter Obi was not an exemplary governor of Anambra. He didn't show any vision of development. He did not build a classroom, as has been said irrefutably. Indeed, he left Awka, the capital, worse than he met it.
"How can such a man be likened to LKY? Onyia, please delete your egregious joke. You have insulted Nigerians."
Lee Kuan Yew was the founding Prime Minister of Singapore, serving from 1959 to 1990. Widely credited with transforming the Southeast Asian nation from a struggling former British colony into one of the world’s most prosperous and efficient states.
Lee is often cited as a model of visionary, incorruptible, and effective governance. His leadership is noted for its emphasis on meritocracy, rule of law, economic planning, and social discipline.
