guy 4get deal. Igbo leaders are naturally selfish. Was it atikus deal that was making work 4 each others downfall in d senate in 1999/2000? Was it atikus deal that made them not 2 support ngige when it was obvious he had a shot at d senate presidency? Just 4get them. Its cos of drama like they are avoided in politics. Even if soludo was chosen, u will still someone come out 2 say he wasn't consulted. Everybody wants 2b king maker
i feel you bro, i just no wan talk make e no be like one tribe is throwing tantrum at another tribe ni. I no know why our igbo people no dey gree for themselves. dem go dey do like say they love themselves but when it comes to choosing a leader, they become divided.

"The gang-up against Peter Obi by Umahi, Chris Uba, Ike Ekweremadu and some other Igbo politicians afraid of the towering influence of Peter Obi in the Atiku camp, has woefully failed.

Atiku reportedly told a stakeholders meeting this afternoon in Abuja that 'Sink or Swim, I will not change my choice of Peter Obi as my Vice President. This man stood by me all these months before any of you raising objections even came on board. I don't play with loyalty and honesty. Not only for his loyalty, he has the prefect qualities needed to run my government as my second-in-command. And he is popular; the masses love him. He's an acceptable choice across ethnic groups in the country. I have made my choice and we should work towards the victory of our ticket and our party'.

There was nothing those in opposition could say after that. Peter Obi's name has been forwarded to the INEC list by the PDP.

#Atikulated"

From what I can deduce from the gathering of the wizards of Eastwick above:

Soludo has a proclivity for corruption.
Okonjo Iweala is incorruptible.
Peter obi is not a ball player.
Esele Uba is a criminal with delusions of power
Dave & Austin umahi are vain megalomaniacs
Ugwuanyi is a follow-follow
Ekweremmadu is confused
Obaze is a pragmatic politician and a forward thinker.
The rest are of no consequence.

The funny thing is that these fools imagine themselves to be more important than they really are. They forget that they have only one vote, as do all of us, and in this case they won't do more than a dead rat.

Nigerians and southeasterners will vote who they want whether or not they like it. And if they're not careful; they'll go into oblivion with this their misguided agenda.

I think I speak for millions of Nigerians when I say that we will vote for Atiku/Obi in 2019.

Nigeria will work again insh Allah.

peter obi that don't have a political relationship out of his state is the right choice of Atiku that needs to do thorough marketing of himself to convince Nigeria that he has change from his past manipulative life


having said that Atiku/soludo can still pull a weight, why? because he was well known all over Nigeria. even layman knew he was Fmr CBN governor and his performance then made him popular even though that won't still make Atiku win but he will pull political wave in the election
than peter obi combo



but for obi that's not well known, aside from awards that has no meaning to majority of people that will vote in North is here displaying on social media


Atiku was expected to carry people along, consult all other PDP stakeholders in all political zones. on the normal day, stakeholders suggested VP for all political parties presidential aspirant even in the past regime of PDP it was like that



people like wike was sidelined posterior to the election, do you see wike making any speech after congratulating Atiku? many grievances is happening in PDP and some people are chanting atikulating grin



election is 4 months and supremacy tussle is happening in the opposition party that want to wrestle power from a powerful incumbency that's controlling more than 20 States out of 36 states grin
Atiku should go and gather the northern votrs.leave the Se for us.we will decide and we choose Obi.

Obiano will do everything possible to frustrate Peter Obi and PDP in Anambra.
Peter Obi couldn't win his local government for PDP in the last guber election in Anambra and the party coming a distant third behind APGA and APC says so much about Peter's political influence in the state.
For those who don't know, Anambra people were angered when Peter left APGA for PDP and can't trust him anymore.

I thought Obi and Obiano are now in different parties so why must they be in talking terms.

Without Obi, there wont have been a Willie.... Remember that

The beginning of the end has come for PDP in the south east..... The governors are against Atiku because he used $5000 dollars to buy his mandate. They know its bribery not god that gave him that mandate as such they are ready to trow some dollars to have c.soludo as Atiku's VP . Igbos pigs are needed now .......

Has Ndigbo voted against any Party in power in any Presidential election since 1979?

Soludo is actually better than Peter Obi. Peter Obi did well as governor of Anambra State at a time when Nigeria's economy was very buoyant. In a situation where the economy is not so buoyant, Soludo' first class brain will be more reliable.

Is it the same Soludo that Sanusi Lamido Sanusi accused of allowing the banking crisis to hit us hard?

You are right about Obi, a very prudent administrator. about Fashola and debt, Lagos with it's cosmopolitan nature and higher population, the need for infrastructures like road maintenance and construction, health care, education etc is many times higher and puts a very big strain on scarce resources. Peter Obi can achieve much because Nigerian Governors are "emperors" they have the state house of assembly in their pockets. In the Federal level, it is a different ball game entirely. The President can't even REDUCE his own salary as every penny he spends and receives must be appropriated. Many of his actions must be RATIFIED by Parliament. He cannot RESTRUCTURE the country for his convenient administration, that is a constitutional issue, he lacks the power. He cannot sanction or sack even a civil servant, that rests with the Civil Service Commission. It is as if the country is structured to be at the mercy of people who are determined to see it plundered to the bones. If the President's powers are this limited, what can even the VP do? I don't see Peter Obi replicating his achievements when he was a Governor as Vice President.

You are very right about this country. Although those constitution procedure was put in place to checkmate the excesses of the president, I sees it as necessary evil.
However I still feel president can still get things done even with his limited power but certainly they can't operate like state governor.

What you should rather ask is; has indigbo voted any other party in a presidential election apart from the PDP? Is it now they would vote Buhari with his 97/5%? Or with the treatment given to Nnamdi Kanu, or with operation python dance? Perhaps they would now change their mind when Buhari has been lopsided against them in his appointment?

Was Atiku in PDP 8 months ago?

As for me, I like Peter Obi he is one of the first class governors we have in Nigeria, I rank him in the same league as Fashola, Donald Duke kwakwaso etc but Peter Obi also manage to achieve those thing without putting his state in debt like Fashola and Donald Duke.

Anyway I won't even vote for APC or PDP they are one and the same. I'm casting my vote for Donald duke.

Obi is in a class of his and their attempt to rubbish him is more out of envy and bitterness. My friend told me he met Obi in a plane at Heathrow with just one aide as a governor then. I have also met Obi severally in the plane flying economy class as a governor, that is exemplary or uncommon. In my flying experience home and abroad never flew in higher classes and seeing Obi a governor showing it was no big deal made a lasting impression.

I was also very familiar with his prudent governance as he paid counterpart funds promptly during EU projects and Anambra was heavily indebted years back during Mbadinuju owing more than 9 months salaries but it is currently the least indebted State in the country and compared to my Delta State, it is very clear Obi left a legacy. If all our politicians can adopt Obi's prudent style, Nigeria will change in 6 months as the leaks in governance is the reason of our problems. What we must understand the privileged office holders enjoy extraordinary benefits at the detriments of the masses and do not like a conservative Obi for their selfish reasons.

If the Ibos cannot support their own they should not cry marginalisation as the West are already lobbying that they would endorse any of their own.
