~Resolution in sight for Oduduwa, Arewa and Biafra agitators.~


Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), says he will dialogue with agitators if he becomes president.

Speaking on Wednesday when he was interviewed on Arise TV’s ‘Prime Time’, Obi said there is a need to restructure the country but added that constitutional restructuring will take time.

“We need to restructure the country, it is for the good of the country. It will be constitutional restructuring but that will take time. There’s one you need to deal with. You don’t need to wait for that kind of restructure before pulling people out of poverty,” he said.

“To deal with issues of security, you don’t need to wait for constitutional restructuring. Those ones will happen and it for the interests of the whole nation.”

Obi said he would not dictate to people as president, but will, instead, encourage dialogue and help society.

“For those who are agitating, and disagreeing, you first start by dialogue. No matter who they are, I will discuss with everybody so that you will know when to throw a line and say we’ve tried this and it’s not working,” he said.

When asked if he would dialogue with bandits, he said “they are not among people I will discuss with”.

Bandits are bandits, criminals are criminals. I’m going to deal with it decisively,” he said.

“Those who want to be discussed with will be discussed with. Those who are agitating, those who feel unhappy, my job is to bring them to the table.”

Political parties officially kicked off their campaigns on Wednesday, September 28, ahead of the 2023 general election.

Members of the LP kickstarted their campaign activities with a mega rally in Jos, the Plateau state capital

That’s my man. I love the sound of that word “ decisively “. Evans the kidnapper told the whole world then that he ran away from Anambra state because of Peter Obi’s fire against crime. Guess where he found abode…. Tinubu’s Lagos! grin angry angry

By the grace of God, this man will never smell anything presidency. Just look at how biased he is - So you'll make dialogue with blood thirsty terrorists who are agitating for disintegration and fall of Nigeria because they're your brothers, but not Fulani herders who only took up arms -the same way your brothers did- to protect themselves against marginalisation, incessant attacks and cattle rustling.

Just look at what is coming out from this mans mouth? undecided
Aggressor claiming to be defending himself.. So killing people in their own land is part of self defense after destroying their farms ?

Dear Nigerians, bear it in mind that even some terrorists are on nairaland with you...


(Political correctness aside), Igbos are not terrorist know this and know peace... Countries that control the world knw better..


The terrorist are those who will leave their lands and invade somebody's land to kill them...


The world has recognised herdsmen as terrorist but Nig Govt led by Buhari has refused to do so


Only hediot and fellow terroris liked/will like that ur comment

See the nonsense you're spewing

So you mean the Fulani herders who killed so many people in Igangan only took up arms to protect themselves against marginalization, incessant attacks and cattle rustling by the people of Igangan?

A very smart comment. But I'll advise PO to refrain from talking about issues bothering on IPOB during this campaign. He should equally talk less; he talks too much

Speaking tongue in cheek wink

Bandits are agitators too if one goes by their reasons for taking to crime as they stated in the BBC documentary. He should just insist on the rule of law.

Only Asiwaju Tinubu has the experience , patriotism and track record of successfully dealing with political activism right from his NADECO days.

The ipob terrorist group backing the campaign of HE Obi are not agitators but unpatriotic elements.
Agitators , unlike ipob terrorist group members, won't murder innocent Patriotic Nigerians like Dr. Akunyili, Dr Gulak etc in cold blood, Agitators won't burn down Lagos city targetting social infrastructures that provide succour to the poor like the ipob terrorost group members as shown in the pictures below remind us.

Only Asiwaju can protect Nigerians from violent terrorist groups like Ipob, Iswap, Boko haram etc. Experience is the name of the Game. Vote Asiwaju Tinubu for rule of law and protection of constitutional democracy.

Obi is fucking smart and intelligent to be compared with emi lokan. Every blessed day, Obi keep giving me 1001 reasons why I should vote for him.
Ever since election started, every other contestant has granted one interview or d other but somebody is hiding or shying away from d press House.

That's how it's supposed to be. Na only Buhari and maybe Tinubu/Atiku go dey dialogue with Terrorists causing pain and agony to the common citizens and nation at large. When they are dealt with with iron hand terrorism will soon be a thing of the past.


Nigeria go better.

Very soon.


But First PO for presidency.

Say NO to Those TWO WELL KNOWN THIEVES


Hope don dey for common Nigerians.

Nigerians shine your eyes so later u won’t start hearing stories like

Nnamdi Kanu n his ipob group given amnesty with compensation of 40bn naira

Ipob must have market in all states in Nigeria

What people should understand is that there’s no difference between igbos n Fulani,the only thing is igbos lack power if they have the power they will do worse than Fulani

Imagine not having power n calling lagos no man’s land?
What do u think they will do when they have power?
Imagine not having power n they want to have eze in all states?
Imagine not having power n telling d just elected governor of osun state that they want 3 commissioners?

what is ipob reason for causing chaos?
What is their reason for killing security operatives?
What is their reason for making people sit at home every Monday against their will?

God bless u

It is obvious the main reason igbos want to be president is because they want to reward ipob n grant those terrorist amnesty

Imagine many of them here saying they want amnesty for ipob because Niger delta militants fighting for their right are given amnesty

It is crystal clear that since ipob failed with nnamdi kanu,they want to use peter obi their plan B for us
