2023: Why PDP Governors Dump Atiku, Backs Tinubu’s Presidential Bid IndependentSep 20, 2022 3:32 PM There are strong indications that some governors elected on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have pledged to work for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the 2023 general elections following the crisis rocking the opposition party in recent times. It could be recalled that the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the PDP presidential candidate and the subsequent announcement of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as the vice presidential candidate, as well as the refusal of Dr Iyorchia Ayu to resign as the National Chairman of the party, have continued to tear the main opposition party apart. Also, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State resolved to back Atiku’s presidential bid, only if Ayu can tender his resignation, stating that the presidential candidate and the National Chairman of the party can’t come from the same region. Correspondingly, the former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Olubode George, Wike’s Camp amongst other prominent party leaders have called for the replacement of Ayu by a southerner, claiming the party Chairman promised to step down if a Northerner emerged as the party flagbearer. But, the PDP chairman has refused to quit, stressing that he was elected to lead the party for four years and he intends to do that. Multiple sources privy to the development to vanguard that following the worsening crisis rocking the opposition party, some PDP governors and leaders have pledged to support Tinubu’s candidacy if the crisis continues. A source, familiar with the workings of the APC, confirmed the possible alliance with Tinubu, saying “of course, it is true.” The source said: “From the way the PDP is handling its crisis, you should know that not all the PDP governors will support Atiku. It is clear and glaring.” But an ally of the former vice-president, who spoke on condition of anonymity, dismissed the speculation, saying “that is not true; there is no truth in that at all.” 2 Likes 1 Share

Who is backing Tinubu? Continue deceiving yourself. PDP is power hungry right now. The south PDP believes if they work for Tinubu, they won't have any opportunity to rule anytime soon because Tinubu will rule for 8 years if he is alive and a northerner will emerge again for another eight years. This is the reason they are backing down from their fight with Ayu. You can see that Wike has been so silent at the moment. 1 Like |

Tinubu waited for the perfect time . Not just an opportunist political prostitute. He worked diligently and calculated, I hope Nigeria vote wisely. We should be glad the successful former Lagos governor is on the ballot to move this country forward like he did with Lagos. It's the model state for development across the country. The most complex , multi ethnic yet most progressive Facility in Nigeria powering our economy. Lagos houses the best of Nigerian brains in Nigeria. I just hope the forces holding Nigeria stagnant won't hold us down in making the right choices . JoeNL22: Those that will vote him because of tribe are there as there are those that will vote based on his antecedents , mentorship capacity and connections. Unlike those that are claiming Obi did better but they can't point to his legacy today ,stop deceiving yourselves we know y'all are supporting Obi because of tribe . If not why would a region where majority were secessionist before now suddenly chanting Obi is the best for Nigeria. We understand the support is because he's your tribesmen. Same tempo used for Kanu Secessionist calling others tribalistic. Na wao . 4 Likes 2 Shares |

They are free to work for whomever they want to work for but they will all fail tinubu is a bad product it will be difficult for them to sell him to the electorate in the south South or South East with his Muslim Muslim ticket everything is pointing to atiku victory i hope any pdp gov that work for apc will be expelled from the party after Atiku has won |

Ruggedniggaone: The interesting facts about the upcoming general elections in Nigeria remain the fact that APC blew up their chances of remaining in power. After Tinubu comes up with the Muslims-muslims as his best choice Such choice automatically give PDP the opportunity to beat any party that stands on the way on the day of general elections in Nigeria . |

Tinubu haters will not like this .they boost with their life that Tinubu can never become the apc candidate. Now they still apply same method that he will never become president !! By God's grace when he becomes president they will start saying he will die till he concluded his 8 years of presidency. Wailers will always wail . 2 Likes 1 Share |

Realist12:Oga.......it is you lots that are associating BIFARA with obi. Obi has nothing to do with BIFARA and BIFARA has nothing to do with Obi. That aside. Secondly, why should we vote for Tinubu?. Why can't we (yoruba) vote for obi?. Did igbos not vote for abiola in 1993 or obj in 2003. If igbo people can support us. Why can't we return the favour?. The SW has done PRESIDENT & VP, yet some people have not gotten either. Yet you come here to talk legacy. Who told you peter obi doesn't have legacies?. Tinubu indirectly and directly was the bastard that brought the disaster of a cow called Buhari and yet you want me to allow him to finish what Buhari has started. If that is the case then your reasoning must be very dumb. We the yorubas will never support a man who has brought hardship and pain to us and Nigerians. We will never support a man who thinks his own selfish ambition(Mumu-Mumu ticket) is worth a million times better than the unity of our dear nation. We will never vote for man who claims his lifelong ambition is to become president and yet he needs to hire a 40-man committee to creat a manifesto for him. We won't vote for a man who hires fake bishops to get the support of Christians in Nigeria. We say no to JAGABANITRY and Shitty terrorists.

Spicycat:Nobody is not saying that you can't support anybody. But why should you claim or what evidence do you have that obi is ipob? When they saw tribalism did not work. They used ipob. No wahala......I won't support Tinubu either because he represents oduduwa republic. At least some yoruba elders have come out to say if the south doesn't win, Then yoruba nation must come to light. We all know who they are talking about? They have seen the north won't vote Tinubu and they want to use the politics of division to persuade people to vote for Tinubu. It won't work. And to buttress my point Simon kpa of BIFARA has come out to say that obi should not be associated with BIFARA. So why are people still thinking that obi represents biafra?. It doesn't make sense. Instead of us to caution Tinubu and his boys on the de-service they are rendering!. We are here still Associating ipob with obi. And yet we will call ourselves "sophisticated tribe". Sophisticated my ass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEp-CvBEEcg

Re: 2023: Why PDP Governors Dump Atiku, Backs Tinubu’s Presidential Bid by JoeNL22(m): 12:11am On Sep 21, 2022 |
Realist12:There is no mistake here. Fashola is there, Osinbajo is there. You did not bring them out, you went to bring a man that can't stand five minutes on his own to be president. When there are able-bodied men and women still capable of doing the job. No be juju be that! There are no mistakes here. We the yoruba people are wise. We are not going to pretend. The narrative must change if we want a better Nigeria. Hence if its means deviating from the norm.....then I welcome it with open arms.
