@fredisoh said:

"Thank you, Alex for all you have been doing for the advancement of education in Nigeria. My daughter was allocated 127 marks in the last JAMB UTME exam but got 252 marks in the re-sit exam. JAMB almost crushed her dream of inheriting my Law Chambers and my Legal Practice."

@Omobabarilli said:

"This is what I mean when I say, "Government alone cannot right the ship of Nigeria." We as the citizens need to stand up(constructively) when lapses occur. It's not just about abusing the government. I commend you, sir, and hope I, too, will have the courage to do so."

@Theadvocatez said:

"Peter Obi is one of us but he was created differently from all of us.

"He conquered greed and jealousy from the womb.

"I bless the bed where he was conceived and the womb that carried him for 9 months.

"This prayer is for you too Mr Alex, you are the man of the year."

@OgbonnaBOgbonna said:

"You don't know how my family take you when I explained to them who was behind the fight for my siblings, 4 of them my sister and cousin would've stayed this year b/c intentionally glitch.

"There previous scores was 156, 140, 120 and 167 but now having 240, 204, 250, 270.

"Thank you."

@femiwole said:

"Well done, Alex.

"It's great that you said this yourself before some political rat will "leak" the conversation to discredit your good work."

@AdekunleOderind said:

"There are many children that will rise tomorrow as a, result of your contribution to their success today. They will look back and tell the tales of how a man gave them hope of restoring their education when he stood up for them and demanded their exams must be reviewed. Kudos to you sir."
