7 MAY 2023

Peter Obi, the unsuccessful presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last election, suffered another public humiliation at the Bayelsa State airport where his attempt to exchange pleasantries with the PDP candidate and his erstwhile boss, Atiku Abubakar, was rebuffed by the former Vice President.

Atiku was on a two-day working visit to the state partly to attend the commendation service of the father of Duoye Diri, the Bayelsa State governor. The event became a gathering of PDP leaders, a group to which Obi belonged before his foray into the Labour Party.

His exit from the party nevertheless, Obi graced the occasion and wanted a moment with his former principal Atiku at the airport but the former Vice President refused to acknowledge his greetings and remained seated in his vehicle as a visibly disappointed Obi scurried away.

Sources close to the Vice President described the event as an expression of Atiku’s displeasure at Obi whom he holds responsible for his defeat in the last election, having divided the PDP’s traditional voter base and consequently presented APC’s Bola Tinubu a clear path to the trophy.

Indeed, analysts have long maintained that the divided state of the PDP, particularly with the insurgence of Obi who was introduced to the nation by Atiku as his running mate in 2019, was a strong factor in the victory of the APC. Had Obi remained in the PDP, Atiku may have been able to shore up his losses in the North with victories in the south-east which Obi won as the Labour Party candidate in a landslide.

One of the sources told this publication, “Atiku regrets showing Obi the ropes and providing him with a platform upon which he was able to gain national recognition. Until Atiku stuck with him in 2019 and showed him the intricacies of national politics, he was a struggling former governor who couldn’t assert any influence in his home state of Anambra.”

“He never won any local election and many candidates in the state knew that an endorsement from Obi was a surefire sign of defeat because the man lacked any meaningful sway. To take that knowledge and use the same to upend your principal and ruin what may be his final shot at the presidency is a horrible betrayal and Atiku cannot forgive him for this.”

Obi is said to be seeking reconciliation with Atiku to portray the image of a “united opposition” as hearing of the legal challenge brought by both parties against APC’s victory is expected to commence soon. The former Anambra governor has reportedly admitted his growing weakness as an opposition vanguard given recent leaks and developments that dented his image and strengthened allegations of bigotry.

His humiliation in Bayelsa is only the latest airport mishap suffered by Obi in the last couple of weeks as he was also hounded by British authorities at the London Heathrow airport where he was questioned for hours over possible involvement in criminal activities.

I see...

Atiku didn't believe Obi will relegate him permanently in Nigeria politics

Smh. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar needs to stop fraternizing with betrayers. Peter Obi will go down the annals of history as the biggest betrayer of his benefactor in Nigeria's political history. Now, because of this betrayal the Igbos may not stand a realistic chance of becoming president of this country for another 50 years or more.

Had Peter Obi put selfishness aside and joined hands with his boss, he would have undoubtedly succeeded him after completing 4 to 8-yrs in office. I don't think there's a more selfish and myopic Igbo man than Peter.

Lagos landlord miscrant are looking for way to Cause online fight between Atiku and Obi supporters with their Propaganda .

Really

Podium reporters is the media propaganda arm of apc that produces fake news.

Atiku taught Peter Obi the ropes? What a babablu statement!

A good name is gold. Peter Obi's good reputation made him marketable.


Peter Obi is more powerful than Atiku. Obi defeated incumbent party in Anambra and went on to win 2nd tenure.

If Atiku went to an unkown party, him and Sowore would be on same figures.

Some Nigerians will not seize to amaze me.
The same Igbos that supported & voted a Yoruba man - Obasanjo for 8yrs, Supported & Voted a Fulani man -Yar'adua, Supported & voted an Ijaw man-Jonathan for 4yrs, gave a Fulani man - Buhari 25% across board for 8yrs.
Now, when power is suppose to come to the South and SE, some people are saying Igbos betrayed Atiku for not voting in another Fulani man. That's greed of the highest order.

So after a Fulani man Buhari rule for 8 yrs, another Fulani man Atiku should take over from him.
Ppl come see GREED, GREED oooo 🧐🧐

The only betrayer here is Atiku who should have allowed PDP to zone the presidential ticket to the south

Gataway there.

How old were you in 2002, when Atiku, as the VP, gathered 21 state governors and attempted to supplant Obasanjo, who was the President?

So to you Obi’s desire and attempt at the Presidency, just like BAT, amounted to a betrayal? To you it was right for Atiku to bypass the standing north/south arrangement to contest the Presidency.

Maybe you do not know that the greed of Atiku cost PDP dearly.

Atiku can never forget 2019 election in a hurry.

Obi refused to drop money for the campaign yet still diverted the money given to him I to private business.

Atiku knew he would have won having Obi as his VP but his experience in 2019 won't just allow him to make such mistakes again

Lol. OP, and Obi died afterwards? Obi is even too respectful. People like AA should be ignored for their lack of character and sense of justice. I guess GEJ should have sent the Judas packing from Bayelsa for his role in 2015 debacle. It is a lesson to not overestimate your relevance. Ordinary North, he could not lock down; party, he couldn't unify. However, his minions are blaming the new bride (Obi) for the man's inability to have an erection.

It's even CORNfused people making a news out of this. That's the latest propaganda from their WhatsApp group. May we not spend our days chasing shadows.

Atiku looks tired and couldn't be bothered much. I'm sure he snubbed every other person there

To be candid Atiku gave obi the national outlook in Nigeria politics as nothing spectacular in his era as a governor then.but,Atiku was also greedy not to step down and work for the power shift to the South in the 2023election either by supporting obi or any other aspirant from the south.I guess all the politicians are thesame just after the power without any meaningful achievement

Atiku should have supported Jonathan for second term and after that stand the best chance to take over.. all these mess we saw ourselves in these past 8 yrs and counting would not have come.. Atiku is a good man and looks good to rule this country..but was too impatient..

One wonders what he was thinking supporting buhari against jona in 2015 if truly he wanted to rule.. he forgot supporting buhari will most likely mean his chance will only come after 16yrs ( 8 yrs bughari north and 8 yrs of a southern).

Your post reeks of arrogance, condescension and a misplaced sense of entitlement by those who feel contesting for presidency and being president of Nigeria is their birthright to which the Igbo should steer clear! On what authority are you labelling Peter Obis' decision to run for president a act of 'selfishness'!? Yet again, you want Ndigbo to hands-off and leave contesting for the presidency to the 'owners of Nigeria' and their southern allies.....the same Igbo that last had one of theirs president/head-of-state in 1966!? Why don't you just come out clean and declare you see the Igbo as your slaves!

Exactly... He accused Obi of being in a rush to become president whereas he is the one that is guilty of the accusation

Put Ibo and a goat on the ballot. The goat will win. They haven't realised what Pandora has done to their political trajectory. He has grind it into a halt. Their votes has become useless going forward

Omo dizwan loud gan o!

Who cares? Atiku is part of the old order or the corrupt establishment that must be uprooted. Let him get off. After all, what Wike did to Atiku is even worse
