Rubbish! It’s not as if you nasty bigots would be falling over yourselves to vote for him in 2023 if he decides to contest! The one he contested in 2019 without going to any ‘forbidden burial ceremony’, didn’t you declare Atiku guilty-by-association for picking a ‘nyamuree/okoro’ as his running mate?

tsdarkside:


ipob are is people....??
haha....if you understood how much disdain nigerians have for ipob....

is it only igbos that will vote....??

ZombieHUNT:
Peter obi is a rare gem....

Op just shut up

yudee233:
I think it was the burial of a traditional ruler and not Nnamdi Kanu, even NTA was on ground to cover the event

slam7000:


Tinubu wouldn’t do that but then Obi isn’t the only Igbo politician and Obi isn’t a Tinubu. Tinubu might lie, deceive and betray to preserve his political ambitions. For someone like Obi, he is a grown man, responsible for his actions and do not have to be a hypocrite and selfish to achieve his aims. I believe that history will vindicate such people....from his Apga days, he never relented, was consistent and resilient unlike the scenario that plays now where politicians carpet cross, jump ship like the PDP law makers in Imo state.
Obi dumped Apga but he has given us enough to judge his character.

He should be proud to have identified himself with the Kanus.

It’s not all about Aso Rock and presidency. There is life and fulfilment outside politics but lots of politicians in Nigeria won’t survive without politics... you’ll see such individuals displaying exotic cars, wives and children and sub-standard constituency projects.

Do you think Mr Obi isn’t aware of all these before attending the funeral. That’s a man you can trust. That’s a man who won’t betray you.

oyatz:



What brought Tinubu into this matter sir?

Amumaigwe:


But the distribution of Buhari's comment on the media about his desire for the total implementation of Sharia in Nigeria (this also happens to align with the vision of Boko Haram), did not stop him from winning presidency. Which is supposed to scandalize Nigerian voters more: Obi associating with the parents of the IPOB leader or Buhari agreeing with Boko Haram ideology?

ashacot:


You wanna play national politics? You have to be smart. Ipob with Nnamdi KANU has insulted virtually all tribes in the country. They have been very vocal in their insults. The best obi would have done is to avoid the burial and send message across on a low.

Imagine obi eventually getting the PDP ticket in 2023. All APC need to do is to just display or distribute his picture with ipob to northerners and westerners.

He should learn to play smart.

slam7000:


Everything.

PFRB:

The Nigerians you talk about are you and your boko haram lovers.

ChristianNorth:

It has.

You rarely spread hate here like other Yoruba Christians. Yoruba Moslems are so predictable here that we always know when a comment is made by one.

oyatz:



Tinubu is not a PDP man, he is not a supporter of IPOB (and probably doesn't even know the royal couple) and he is not from the S/East.

Why bringing him into this discussion for unnecessary comparison?





#People constantly talk about a man they fear most or worried about most of the time.

ashacot:
Peter Obi gooffed for attending the burial of Nnamdi kanu's parent. He Obi is nursing the ambition to contest the next presidential election. Going to the burial or a FUGITIVE and a secessionists is very wrong. Obi just armed his rivals what to use against him in 2023 elwction. All they will do is to distribute picture of obi attending the burial of an unrepentant secessionists who is doing everything to break the country. They may accuse him of trying to win the presidency position to break the country .

I am not saying obi shouldn't have sympathize with the Kings family but he should have done it differently by sending message across.

What obi needs right now is to build bridges not indirectly burning them. Most people will see him as an IPOB ALLY NOW and he wants to rule Nigeria

If anyone is worried or should be worried of Tinubu, it’d have to be his colleagues in politics.

Peter Obi is one of many Igbo politicians but he is not among my top 5 Igbo politicians to be in Aso Rock.

In future, this incident will be the focal point for comparing the political ‘savvy south west’ and the politically ‘naive south east’. You can’t discuss or think of politics in the south west today without mentioning or thinking of Tinubu.

You understand my drift. Obi being present at Nnamdi Kanu’s dad funeral is interesting and will continue to be. This is a man that’s nursing ambition to be in Aso Rock one day but he was seen at pa Kanu’s funeral...what comes to mind here?? Ipob, Nnamdi Kanu, hate speech, Biafra, terrorism, secession. Did Obi not know all these before going there??
You’d expect the younger Osita Chidoka who tried to exploit Nnamdi Kanu’s fame or notoriety depending on which side that you are...to be there at the funeral but he avoided it. Was he wise, smart, politically savvy or a hypocrite?

Politicians face situations that test their characters as well their ‘political smartness’. Maybe this is Obi’s test. He might have failed a political smartness or savvy test but his character remains intact. For that I’ll pick him over the Nwodos, Chidoka, Nnamani etc...

How is this linked to Tinubu? Tinubu was at Pa Reuben Fasoranti’s daughter Funke Olukunrin’s funeral. The whole atmosphere was tensed with anger, frustrations about herdsmen as we call the offshoot of Fulani bandits and bokoharam causing trouble in the south. Locals have encountered these people. It’s been trails of blood, tears and anger.

Tinubu was there, he made a speech. He couldn’t summon courage to vent his anger on the killer herdsmen/bandit. He was right. It might not be the Fulanis but he has to mention Evans. He asked for the cows.

You asked why I mentioned Tinubu. I asked you, why would Tinubu mention Evans?

He might have passed his political savvy test to preserve his ambitions but this man would fail character test any day. He is not to be trusted.
