Heffalump:
Atiku is a big problem. He can never step down for anybody even when it's obvious he can't win. If he is clever by half, he ought to have run some permutations and judging from the political dynamics in the country, times are not in his favour. Being a vice to Obasanjo in 1999 to 2007 is more than enough, something he never dreamed of ab initio. Instead he's hell bent to become the president at all cost. He's just a stubborn politician.

Now, all the people He's banking on in ADC are fleeing from the boat carrying them. Let him be the lone man standing and see if he can unseat Tinubu.

oga everyone must not submit to your blackmail

Now make una leave atiku, and focus on kwankwaso that's wants primary too as he has always done.

If everyone is evil perhaps na you be the winch that dwells in evil

Gone with the winds. Koalasion failed to coalesce. Plenty of social media political analyst will be in tears now.

Olurondo:
I know the desperate man called Peter Obi will leave ADC.He left APGA for PDP,PDP for Labour Party and now he is leaving ADC.He knows he will never win the primaries at ADC.Atiku will clinch the ticket but even Rotimi Amaechi will do better than him in the primaries.He left to save his face.I pity those who will not use their brains and will keep supporting Peter Obi.Why is he so desperate to become the President of Nigeria?Peter Obi will never be the President of Nigeria!

What if it happens ove ya ded bodi?

fergie001:
Regrettably, like I did in May 2022

I congratulate President Bola Tinubu on his re-election as President of World's most populous black nation.

We will continue to put you on your toes and ensure that democracy will not die. Whilst I congratulate you, I believe that you have sunk this country far low, hopefully you have time to write your name in the history books, I wish you well.

Sunk the country far low in what ways?

brain54:
Is this even legal and constitutional...?


Obi keep running o. Don't solve anything. Just run away when crisis appear!

The political parties haven't start summiting their party list, so he can change parties for now

Amumaigwe:
Obi is not that special, but APC is willing to destroy democracy as long as Obi is not on ballot in 2027. Can you explain this contradiction?

Why will APC not want Obi on the ballot, you people imagine a lot and that's the problem.

Obi must be on the ballot, same as Atiku. That makes it easier for APC. Obi on the same ticket with Atiku is what APC is scared of. Obi has seen the handwriting on the wall that he won't get the presidency and the VP slot isn't sure, he then jumped to another party.
You people are emotional and not properly analyzing the political space. I laugh at you people's ignorance
I must admit that the political game isn't for the good of the masses. But it is what it is

The vision I had is frighteningly shaping up

Is this news? We all knew he will leave,the man can not stay in a party that conducts primaries

ufotunang:
..any party peter obi enters into...Tinubu sends his agents to destabilize and destroy the party .. Tinubu does not want Peter Obi in the ballot in 2027

Well, I guess that's a possibility.

See people whey wan comot Tinubu for power

You all must be jokers

ADC case referred back to trial court

May 9: Maximum Deadline for Obi to Decamp

♾️Tinubu till 2031.

Omo this man don dey begin dey vex me.

Na after the 2023 election him don vex me. There is actually nothing spectacular about him. He is too unstable for liking.

fergie001:
They all know what they are doing 😂

you can see here that Tinubu will win his Reelection with ease

LIVINGICONREBOR:
It is only "death" that can stop Bola tinubu for coming back a second time as the president.🥱🥱

You mean like Abacha?

NDP as a new party has been involved in court cases since last year. The registration was as a result of a court order and since then Ardo, a supporter of Atiku and a member of ADC, has taken the party to court that it was not properly registered. Later, instead of facing Ardo and Atiku, many will start shouting that it is the government. I don't know why politicians do not make due diligence on steps they take. This is because most politicians in Nigeria are intellectually lazy, like most Nigerians. A research into the political parties in Nigeria shows that most of them have been having leadership and court cases before the 2023 election. Is that the fault of the present government? As far as 2022, ADC had more than ten cases in court, likewise Accord, Labour, SDP, NNPP and some others. Three new parties were registered, why is Obi and Kwakwanso not moving to any of the other two that do not have court cases. There are more than ten other old parties without court cases. Why are they not moving to any of them? Governor Bala Mohammed has just joined the Allied People's Movement Party, one of the old parties without any court case. Influencers, journalists and lawyers are supposed to bring this out now but many of them have keyed in to a particular agenda setting. They end up intentionally misinforming the populace.

Saladdin:
They can't stay fully united if each of them wants to be president or nothing else. At some point they all have to compromise if truly their goal is to beat the current government. I'm not saying Obi is a saint, but he'll be a good administrator, and if he's to make headway he has to learn to compromise. Else, he better forget politics.

On the issue of Kwankwaso, we are both saying the same thing. Heads or Tail, Kwankwaso is the biggest winner in all of these.

If some kind of miracle happens and they win, he'll be the vice president to take over from Obi.

Then also, if Tinubu wins, he'll have gained southern acceptance through Obi, and no Northern politician bar Atiku will be as formidable as him. Since Atiku is no longer contesting post-2027 the cake is Kwankwaso's to take.

of course, obi is the political novice that thinks everything must fall in at a go, perhaps he is a prisoner of the same support base that says president or nothing

It is a quicker root for kwankwaso to finish the job and split the last batch, that's like four year away from presidency than 8 years an obi route will take at best (a highly uncertain path taking power from a tinubu still without a united north)

Let's not forget he doesn't want to appear weak before his own people (this guy went toe to toe with buhari atiku)

Again it will appear he betrayed northern interest or atiku for peanut, either way obi should stop this naive strategy of believing what his people say online can box politicians to his side, kwankwaso has a plan

What is this?

helinues:
Chai. It's confirmed, Peter Obi has been working for president Tinubu secretly for quite some time

The thread below is as far back as 2025. As long as Obi and Atiku won't be in the same party, the thread below is justified

https://www.nairaland.com/8368644/peter-obi-might-join-apc

It is Atiku that is working for Tinubu not Obi.Obi is the people choice that won 2023 presidential election with landslide.
Atiku can never win presidential election.That is how he scattered PDP and went to APC where he was messed up.He came to PDP again to struggle power with Wike Wike dealt with him and he ran to ADC and taught he will use Obi to achieve his aim.
Obi knows better
Now he is heading for disgraceful defeat.
He should be told to support Obi and help him to protect his votes alongside other political heavy weights.
Obi will command the majority votes of the masses.
Period.

Nigeria politics isn't for a good guy like Peter obi. Good man with a good heart but can't govern a complex country like Nigeria.

If Peter Obi can't build men or get through the murky waters of the primaries and can't even get his previous party fixed when challenges arose, how sure are we that he can handle the complexities of Nigeria?
He wasn't even special as a governor like Amaechi mentioned yesterday. So I wonder why Obidients see him as the messiah. He isn't!!
Becoming the president is just an ambition to him!
He is not doing it for the masses. He's not different from the other politicians we have.

Note that, A Tinubu vs Atiku vs Peter Obi vs Kwankwanso on 2027 ballots will produce the same results like we had in 2023.
Kwankwanso doesn't look ready to deputize Obi going by his press statement yesterday. Na Obidients dey famz am




This is getting interesting

You have nailed it.

Saladdin:
He has very good intention, yes but he must be rugged and maintain an active posture in order to rule a country like Nigeria.

For God's sake he doesn't have to be president at one go. He'll most likely have the Vice Presidency had he humbled himself.

When he comes to politics, President Tinubu is arguably the most formidable politician in Nigeria, but disappointly weak in administration. He stops low to conquer and swallows embarrassment if it'll get him what he wants.

See what happened here when Bukola ignored him and he called him back and greeted him. Can an Atiku, Obi or Kwankwaso stomach such?

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DK0ZnL7tW_4/?igsh=MWFoeGsycDNzdTc5Zw==

Which Nigeria president didn’t have good intention since 1999?
Also,Tinubu is not weak in Administration please.No man born of woman can transform this country in 3years at this current revenue level and lack of LG autonomy.
I wish you can just be the president for just one year to see how difficult it is.

Nigerians will be expecting eldorado with 40billion dollars National budget that is not up to 50% of New York state allocation to just health alone.The state of NewYork budget for education in 2025 was 100billion dollars.The total National budget of Nigerian in 2025 was aound 40billion dollars for 250 million people and 36states.

Nigeria infrastructural deficit is estimated to be 3trillion dollars.We require 100billion dollars annual funding.Nigeria wants a president to transform a country within 4years with annual budget of 40 billion dollars and budget deficit of 10billion dollars without borrowing and increase tax coverage.When opposition politicians are sugarcoating Nigerians,I will just laugh.I dont blame them,Tinubu and APC did the same thing to GEJ and PDP,now they are also facing the reality.

Stupid comment like is the reason politicians see Nigerians as fools

yommen:
Na after the 2023 election him don vex me. There is actually nothing spectacular about him. He is too unstable for liking.

Like, he don dey annoy me.

The same Kwankwaso wey dey too proud to align with him thinking he is big in 2023 is the one probably pushing him around.

That opportunity is gone with 2023,honestly that's how i see it.
If he had align with Obi in 2023 it would been a straight win but I doubt it will work in 2027.

I was hoping he will align with Atiku instead, he already promised one term.
After that go for president the next term.


Well good luck to him.

Good move.... atiku should test his popularity in ADC let see

Saladdin:
I second this too. It seems these people do not know simple BODMAS at all. Stay united and defeat the president or stay scattered and he wins again. They seem to underestimate how dangerously cunning Tinubu is.

I mean 2023 was an eye-opener, Ah! Everybody cannot be president at once. Come to a gentleman agreement: this one president, you vice, this one Senate President, you go back to the House, you choose any Ministerial slot that you want etc. This is how Wike retained his power and milked it to the fullest.

I don't know what they're trying to prove that has not been proven in 2023. In all of these though, Kwankwaso will be the biggest winner if he plays his cards right by deputizing Obi. His eyes should be on 2031 and he is primed to be the most formidable Northern candidate.

It's not about Tinubu being dangerously cunning. It's about knowing the right step to take at the right time. When Tinubu aligned with Buhari, he could have probably argued that he wanted to be president too at that time na. He was fully in control of ACN and they were ruling Lagos conveniently. But he understood the magic of right timing. Even though it was PDP that had internal agreement of south/north rotation, he played by it.

Obi should have stayed in PDP. If he had stayed, Atiku would be president by now and Obi would become President by 2031. By then, he would be 69, which is not bad. Obi is 64 now and Atiku is 79. See the age difference. Obi needs to understand that Atiku got higher votes than him in the last election and still has higher northern block votes which can easily be transferred to Obi in 2031.

Now, see him crying like a baby, blaming others for his own shortsightedness. Sincerely, I don't want someone like him to be my president.

He is moving unto the next party to scatter....
He can never settle in a party...

Is this the person that wants to become the president? O ma SE o! Wata piri!

thanks u for this beautiful.. he atiku should go test his popularity without obi in another ADC....I like the move obi give am ....last minute backstabbing... what goes round comes around....if atiku really love the country he should support the ok movement but I know he'll do the spoiler again to give tinubu victory...

I think it is a strategic move to defeat the ruling APC. Atiku has captured the majority of the electorates in Northern Nigeria. Tinubu will struggle in the North. The elites of the SE will try to rig for Tinubu in the East if Obi is not on the ballot (especially as the Presidential candidate). Therefore, if Obi refuses to deputise Atiku as VP or not given the VP slot, then it becomes a smart move to ensure that SE votes do not go to Tinubu. SE votes will most likely decide the winner between Atiku & Tinubu. If Atiku cannot get it, Atiku prefers that Tinubu also does not get it. I suspect that Kwankwaso is actually working for Atiku. Recall Atiku's recent visit to Kwankwaso in Kano. Also note that Kwakwanso said he would never deputise Obi before now. If Kwankwaso eventually deputises Obi, this will confirm my suspicion.
Despite Kwankwanso on the ballot as VP to Obi, the North will not vote the ticket but use the ticket to lure away SE votes from Tinubu. In all these, the SE must avoid emotional politics to avoid loosing out again. They have to make a strategic decision and I think aligning with APC now holds the best opportunity to clinch presidential ticket in the future. SE's path to presidency lies (for the foreseable future) in the alignment with SS, SW & MB. NE & NW are no go areas due to religious differences and historical hostilities. 10,000 boreholes, billions in donations and even bigger project cannot do it. Obi/Kwankwaso will not sell in the North and Kwankwaso/Obi will not sell in the South. If Atiku eventially wins tnrough this strategy, he will directly or imdirectly compensate Obi after gaining power. It will be the reverse of what happened in favour of APC in 2023.
