While Atiku was yet to announce peter obi officially as running mate, the very desperate Peter obi in his "wiseness" ran to the media, leaked the news to the press and spread it on social media in a bid to arm twist Atiku to announce him! This is just one of the characters of the pretender called Peter Obi.
Anyway, in Anambra, we are voting 100% for APGA presidential candidate.. Nke a bu nke anyi.

How many of you voted for late odumegwu when he contested on the platform of APGA.

Umahi is a fool, he should be expunged from the SE. The bastard is the mole of APC in PDP, he openly confessed his support for Buhari. He is there as a tool to destabilise PDP

Vinstel:

Bros ignore the useless globemoney he had nothing to say..... who needs his vote kwanu

SW on standby?, they will stand forever..



Afenifere, Umahi, Yakassai, others react *Ohaneze to court Arewa youths, Middle Belt,Yoruba

The choice of a former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi as the vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was generally described as a deft move by a cross-section ofNigerians. His emergence as the running mate to the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku didn’t come as a surprise as his name had prominently featured among those being considered for the position.

Saturday Vanguard learned that Atiku met with Obi in his Asokoro residence after Jamaat prayers yesterday in Abuja. A statement by the Director General of Atiku Campaign Organisation, Otunba Gbenga Daniel said the former governor was mainly chosen because of his vast knowledge of global and local economics. Other reasons adduced were his youthfulness and experience in the management of people and resources.

However, most people, who spoke to Saturday Vanguard on the development were emphatic that Obi’s presence would add value to Atiku’s prospects. Those who reacted include Ebonyi State governor, Mr. Dave Umahi; Deputy Senate Minority Leader, Senator Emmanuel Bwachaa; former governor of Anambra State, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife; National Vice Chairman, South, of the PDP, Mr. Eddy Olafeso; and Spokesperson of pan-Yoruba sociopolitical organisation, Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin. Others are former Minister of Aviation in the First Republic, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi; ex-Adviser to former President Shehu Shagari, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai; Ohaneze Youths; a member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Uzo Azubuike; former member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Victor Ogene; former governorship candidate in Anambra State, Mr. Oseloka Obaze; and Chairman, Niger State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Tanko Beji.

[b] (It’s a masterstroke—Gov Umahi Umahi ******** ********* ********** ********** )

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Emmanuel Uzor described the choice of Obi as a masterstroke, adding that it had all the things that would make Nigeria work again. [/b] He described Obi as a consummate administrator, who showed class in leadership as a two-term governor. Umahi further maintained that Atiku and Obi would bring ingenuity and wealth of experience to bear when they become President and Vice President of Nigeria next year.

Peter is a great choice.—Ezeife

Ezeife described the choice of Obi as great, adding that he was not wasteful in the management of resources while serving as governor. He said: “Peter is a great choice. He brings his business intelligence into governance. He is not corrupt and as a governor, he was not wasteful. I must say that I am very happy.’’ On his part, Olafeso said: “As a National Vice Chairman of the party, I hail the decision to pick Peter Obi as running mate to our presidential candidate. The decision to pick him is based on his outstanding performance as governor of Anambra State. He is a successful businessman and we expect his experience to translate into good governance for our nation.’’


Atiku/ Obi ticket a good one—Yakassai

An elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai said: “ It was expected all along that the slot of the Vice President should go to the South East for the PDP as APC has chosen the South West. What is not ascertained is whether the choice of Peter Obi is the collective choice of the majority of the people of the South East. Atiku Abubakar/ Peter Obi ticket is a very good one. Atiku Abubakar is a Muslim from the North while Peter Obi is a Christian from the South just as Muhammadu Buhari is a Muslim from the North and Yemi Osinbajo is a Christian from the South. Everything is balanced.”

This is Atiku’s time—Amaechi

Reacting, Amaechi, said: “Peter Obi is an experienced politician, administrator, and businessman. Obi and Atiku are widely exposed. Nigeria needs an enlightened government that will manage our economy very well. This is Atiku’s time to reign and with Peter Obi, I think it is a good team. I don’t know how the South West will take it but I want to advice the APC against rigging the elections. The things I saw in Ekiti and Osun states were not elections.”

Atiku/Obi should be committed to restructuring—Afenire

Odumakin stated thus: “All we are concerned about at this stage is that they should be committed to the restructuring of Nigeria. If it is true that he has picked Peter Obi as his running mate, he should join him to work out a clear-cut programme on restructuring and ensure that he remains steadfast to that because restructuring is the main issue that will determine the next election. ” A former House of Representatives member, Mr. Victor Ogene, said:’’The name, Peter Obi, has over the last decade come to represent frugality in public finance, sobriety, and probity in spending, and excellence in public office. His choice, therefore, as vice presidential candidate of the PDP, beyond representing a positive move towards integrating the Igbo into the top leadership strata of the nation is apt. “As a successful two-time governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi comes fully ready for the top position he has been chosen for. ” Azubuike said: “It is a welcome development. It shows that Atiku and indeed PDP have been positioned to redress the injustice and grave marginalisation that Igbo have suffered in the hands of the current administration. “It shows that Atiku is focused on reuniting and redefining Nigeria as one entity where all sections of the country will have a sense of belonging and active participation in governance. “Of course, Peter Obi is experienced, quite knowledgeable, exposed and humble.

He brought sustainable socioeconomic development to Anambra State. I am sure he will bring that experience to bear.’’

It’ll unite Nigerians—

Ekweremadu’s aide An aide of the Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who didn’t want his name in print said he believed the choice of Peter Obi would strengthen the relationship between the North East, the North Central, the North West, South South, and South East. He said: “The Igbo are spread across Nigeria. In the North, some politicians who used to be with Buhari have left him.

For instance, someone like Buba Galadima has left him. The international community has also seen the real Buhari and is not impressed with him. I am confident the South East and the South South will go for Atiku Abubakar/Peter Obi presidency. The South West people are wise voters and they know the right thing to do.”

A former presidential aspirant of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Chief Charles Udeogaranya said: “Peter Obi as a running mate in the political calculation is expected to deliver the entire South East to the PDP. He is also expected to mobilise the entire Southern region for PDP while Atiku Abubakar should mobilise the North. Peter Obi will give Atiku Abubakar the required 25 percent to win the presidency.” Obaze said: “His Excellency, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has made the right choice in picking Peter Obi as his running make.” Atiku has just the exhibited the ability to make hard-headed decision required of purposeful leaders.”

Speaking on the matter, Ohaneze Youth Council said: “We are calling on Igbo youths to ensure that the duo of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi make it to Aso Rock in 2019 as President and Vice President. We will reach out to Arewa youths, Ijaw, Middle Belt, Ibibio, Yoruba youths under the Nigeria Ethnic Nationalities Youth OrganiSations for the success of Atiku and Peter Obi.’’

Eponyeeboz:
Look at how Igbos have started fighting when they've not even won the election.

When they now lose nko? Spend the next 50 years blaming themselves.

I can forward the original statement to you. Nothing of such was mentioned. And since when did umahi become Igbo elders. Its all a lie by scorned people to create the impression of division

globemoney:

This is just one of the characters of the pretender called Peter Obi.
Anyway, in Anambra, we are voting 100% for APGA presidential candidate.. Nke a bu nke anyi.

mtcheww. next person please.

Corrinthians:
Bro forget plenty talk. The leaders of those guys will always look to project a candidate they believe will protect their personal interests. Perhaps they see Obi as a man not pliable enough to advance their individual courses, hence their objection.

Coloqually, that is called politics.

You have a valid point brother.

These guys know each other very well,and if a section of the Eastern leadership is not comfortable with Obi representing them,and their interests, it means there might be things you and i(ordinary people) might not know about these guys.

But for now, Obi represents the closest thing to the Presidency that the East has now and I feel they should all rally behind him.

It should be a collective Eastern rally.

Who the hell is this dumbass Umahi? Why does this fool think that any Igbo should go through him and his collected ilk known as the governors from the so-called south east? Igbo land is not limited to the idiotic nomenclature known as south east.

UgwuAghachi:
Afonja cable media outlet. The insult that you were given on Twitter wasn't enough, you had to bring your madness to nairaland too

Insult on twitter?
Bro yarn me tori

Notin' person no go see for Nairaland, sha. Just invent fake news from a fake news site with zero quotes (not even anonymously sourced quotes from relevant parties) and start commenting on said fake news as if there is something credible to discuss. What is the point reacting to such news?

dingbang:
We igbos though. We are our problem, even if Biafra comes to pass, their will still be division amongst ourselves. No unity at all

We YORUBAS always put mouth in Wetin no concern us.
Despite we are chronic liars

HungerBAD:
Here we go again.

The leaders of the region were not consulted?I want to believe this report is the figment of the writer's imagination to attract traffic to their paper.

No sane Igbo person or group will protest that their son has been picked as a vice Presidential candidate.

If really Umahi said this, then the enemies of the East is within the East, and not outside the East.

I think so too.

slyfoxxjoe:
If true then this report is further evidence why Igbos can never produce a president. It's not so much an issue of marginalization by the north and south west as it is their own internal jealousy and lack of unity.

One wonders about who is the bigger fool between you who can't make use of your brain to decipher a deliberate attempt by a faceless media platform to set a cat among the pigeons and all authors of confusion who are condemned to gnashing of teeth as they watched the Igbos soar inexorably....

Oh well, i personally have nothing against the gentleman since his "e-resume" so far appears nearly squeaky clean.

But, just like you said they know themselves.

Regardless, the choice has been made and I'm sure no about of protest could undo that decision.

If this is true, then igbos are their own problem.

igbos are naturally enemies of themselves. Even the yorubas (afenifere) have already accepted an igbo for the VP slot, and yet the igbos are still fighting themselves! That's why I laugh at times when I hear them say they need the presidency. It's their disunity that actually stands in their way rather than the other geopolitical zones! If biafra is actually, trust me that nation may go down a war path due to greed and disunity amongst brothers just like South Sudan.

Lsofdk:

Mechie gi onu there
You just have one vote Mr. Besides you appointed you spokesman for the good people of Anambra. Obi has Anambra's full support. You can toss your one vote wherever you like... traitor

He does not just have ndi Anambra support, he has ndigbo support!

Please keep quiet. False news from APC would make you speak against your own?

David Umahi should go and seat down, can he compare himself to Obi? IN OBI WE TRUST.

I am still puzzled to why Atiku has not officially said Obi is his running mate. Or did I miss the announcement?has he given an official statement yet?

IloveToMess:
Afonjas Digest all i have said to you and learn wisdom if you like, if you like leave it,
but when Atiku marginalizes you people for not voting for him like Buhari did to Igbos it will smell penury for you guys.
Yours will be worse cos Igbos are rugged Business inclined people hence know how to manage direct marginalization as it is in this Buhari's Government but the Yorubas have little or nothing to fall back on when it hits them.
Better Atikulate now dont isolate yourself, quit your foolish imaginary importance..

Can any government marginalise d Yoruba's? Jonathan tried it, what later happened? Yoruba's have grown past that, only the yebos can b shouting marginalization upandan.

bigiyaro:
who knows, the APC might have droped a little money for this statement.

I don't think so.

I think there must be a mistake somewhere with this statement. Maybe he was misquoted.

Where are you in onitsha? I hope it’s not main market? The same main market where Obi was chased out and almost lynched by youths when he went to campaign in 2017? Why didn’t you protect him then? Ezi
