Vinnie2000:


It's like PDP is dead in South south.

Their Governors (Obaseki, Diri, Okowa, Udom) are so Unintelligent and Poor in Thinking!

They would had given Peter Obi Massive Support for Presidency, then consolidated on HOR and Senate positions.
Instead, they followed Atiku and have now allowed APC dominate in both Presidential and NA elections

Now, APC will take over Delta State, because Ovie Omo Agege will thrash Sheriff in the Guber Polls.
Even David Lyon in Bayelsa is gearing up to Take Over from Diri next year.

FreeStuffsNG:

The SS Governors lost out in their local politics.
Politics is local Mr Obi will still not be able to defeat Asiwaju or Turakin even if he rigs the SS votes like lp massively rigged in Igboland.

MadamExcellency:


You have polluted Nairaland and brought it to its lowest intellectual engagement.

I thought you were human not knowing that you are a monster with no moral compass and without value and character.

You are too clannish and a bigot to be engaged in a conversation.

Vinnie2000:


Some of You reason Upside down!

Why will say Peter Obi rigged in SE?

It's like Saying Tinubu rigged in Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Ondo.

Politicians have Their Strongholds!

PETER OBI was never to win in Sokoto, Kano, Kebbi and core North states.
Same Way Tinubu should NOT be winning a State like Rivers.

Peter Obi won in States where everyone knew he will win While Tinubu/APC rigged in other Pple's Strongholds!
If you still Argue, then you are an Urchin!
