Though there is no morality in politics worldwide, but Osinbanjo as a pastor should have that morality to be discent enough not to go against his benefactor.
BUHARI was right on this.
Even his Bible should have taught him, what happened to ingrates.

SmartPolician:
You worked with a man for 8 years! How else are you supposed to know him?

Professor Osinbajo would've made an excellent president

franchasng:
We are not interested in that. Obi will not contest.


Even if Atiku is known to just his family members alone, we want to work with him to make it more difficult for Tinubu to rig himself into office a second time.


Tinubu is unelectable and he is banking on massive election rigging using state Governors and INEC, so we just want to counter his rigging plans and whoever wins is okay. Tinubu should face it off with Atiku, let it be North vs Southwest so that you Yorubas won't have any other excuse to be abusing Igbos and attacking them unnecessarily.


Obi should not contest, even if Atiku won't win like you said no problem, let's try that card and see.


It's not about Peter Obi winning because the one he won in 2023 to the glaring of the whole world, he was still rigged out brazenly when Tinubu was not even President, so even if he wins again under any party, Tinubu will rig it again and Nigerians won't put up a fight because Obi is Igbo, they will expect only Igbos to fight it out which won't work, so I want Obi to align with Atiku, he doesn't need to contest, Nigeria is irredeemable, let's just remove Tinubu and see if Nigeria can be returned to the old pathway it was and let's be managing it like that than allow this known mindless Lagos Kleptomaniac continue his destruction and plundering of Nigeria's common wealth

I am not defending Farouk Ahmed.

When President Tinubu ordered the withdrawal of police escorts from VIPs, he made a blanket announcement: all police attached to VIPs were to return to duty immediately. He did not single out Peter Obi or Atiku. That is how rules are supposed to work in a serious country, general, neutral, and universal.

My point is simple: when you make a rule, it must apply to everyone, not only to your rival or antagonist.

If Dangote truly wants to fight corruption, let him sponsor a bill in the Nigerian Senate mandating that all public officials educate their children in Nigerian schools. That would be a structural, systemic reform, and I would support him without hesitation.

But using corruption allegations selectively to win a personal or commercial battle with Farouk Ahmed is not reform. Nigerians are not naïve. We know corruption exists. What we are looking for is a credible, principled anti-corruption fight, not a weaponized narrative deployed when business interests collide.

Real reform targets systems, not just enemies.

He won't see 10k votes this time from SE as north has rejected him

yarimo:
And I thought senator abaribe is among the people that have sense in south east oo

AdUlAM:
Thanks for correcting yourself.

Ceejay94:
Can you compare Tinubu to Obi? A reasonable man can't do that

Ozinlex:
I never expected otherwise from you; anyway my amiable PO, you are loved by many of us who are truly looking forward to a better society

ElevationD:
Did BAT not support GEJ of the PDP against Nuhu Ribadu of ACN, his own party, in 2011? Or you were not adult enough to know that?

ElevationD:
Sorry bro, but it is people like you who have supported certain greedy politicians to bring the nation to its knees.

If you followed the politics of 2022 and 2023 without a biased mind, you would have found that Obi, very willing to contest his presidency on the platform of PDP, was pushed out by Wike and his gang. Take away that greedy Wike move and think that if the PDP presidency was ceded to the SE as expected, what would have stopped Obi from contesting the primaries, knowing that there were others in the party interested in the slot? Obi left and a platform was offered to him. Where did you and others like you learn that Obi was not willing to contest in any party primary? Did he not contest the APGA primaries of 2003 and win?

Where have you heard Obi mentioning to people his intention to contest the Presidency on the platform of ADC? If you have been following the events of ADC since the middle of this year, can you tell us at which point Obi mentioned his intention to as little as become a member of ADC? Have you not heard him repeatedly say that he is a faithful card carrying member of the Labour Party?

By the way, without primaries, how can candidates be determined, knowing that by law, INEC must monitor them to ensure compliance. It is within the rights of parties to choose who leads them and their flag bearers. If you took your time, you would have noticed that when Governor Adeleke joined Accord party, they held their primaries on the 10th of December, making him their candidate. Why not accuse him as you accused Obi of not contesting the primary against any candidate? APC candidates in the same Osun state met with BAT a few days ago and they all stepped down for Oyebanji. Was that wrong? When Omisore was pushed aside, why not accuse Oyebanji of having the fear to contest the primaries against Omisore? Why not lament that no one contested against Oyebanji? Or you just choose which of the differen sides suits your opinion?

Politicians do their calculations and permutations. They do their readings and projections. Ours is to carefully watch and make the right choices.

Clown,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Niger_bridge
Second Niger Bridge that was built by Buhari and you are here giving Obi the credit, shame on you, even Obi will be laughing at your Ignorance ND LIES. which YEYE MONORAIL IN Obi built, abi na Audio, show us picture of the Monorail and stop disgracing yourself in the public forum

chipet67:
Abeg Obi should save his money. This time around he won't even come close to third. That happened in 2023 because Buhari, in his last days, decided not to throw his weight behind anyone, as he has rounded off his 8 year term.
But Tinubu is actively politicking and lobbying without mercy.

If Obi want to run, maybe it will be just for record purpose, but if he has the intention to win, he should think again.
Tribalism has so divided today's Nigeria that fighting for one cause is almost impossible. So when Tinubu is declared winner, Nigerians will just murmur online and make skits with it.
The suffering continues.

We4all:
My concern is that, he is not growing physically, and he is always looking like a teenager.

NiRfreak:
Why was this vetting not done on Tinubu before he use Lagos and one village in Osum as his ancestral home

zicoraads:
PDP was dead and buried the day they allowed Wike and his band of 4 to continue being members of the party, despite their obvious anti-party activities in 2023.

You Are Just On Point 🎯 and May God Bless Your Insights.
Until Tinubu's Ingenuity in Politics humbles you, before you know that, Politics in Nigeria today, belongs to him.
He started it a long- time and I will say,may be he leans it from the Past Mistakes of Chief Awolowo - that to Win More on your side, you just need to Accommodate More People.
When he was a Governor of Lagos State, Every One that Comes to Alausa - br it Hausa,Ibo or Yoruba-gets an appointment and you know what that means?
He Tinubu has a Big Heart 💜 that Many Are Envious and they Could Not Do it, because it is Not in them!

The day Tinubu go die nobody go happy pass Sanwo Olu and all real indigenes of Lagos




The guy don hold them hostage for long

franchasng:
I won't be happy with Peter Obi if he fails to join the ADC coalition party.


Peter Obi should shelve any plan of contesting for President in 2027 and align with Atiku because even if Peter Obi wins again with landslide vote margin, he will not be declared winner by INEC just as he wasn't declared winner in 2023 after winning.


So doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is nothing but foolishness.


Obi should understand the odds against him in Nigerian Presidential race as an Igbo man and apply wisdom, we want to play spoilers like the Yorubas this time, Peter Obi must not make mistake of staying away from ADC or remaining in LP or contesting on a different ticket without aligning with Atiku

Dogalmighty17:
Musa is minister of defense and not CDS. He is already retired from service. Musa may not even be taking orders from Tinubu. Musa was appointed under pressure from the US. It can be said that Musa presently is more powerful than Tinubu.
Who backs Tinubu? The Nigerian armed forces.
Who backs Musa? The military of the United States.
There is a reason why the US wanted him there. They will bypass Tinubu and relate straight with Musa.

Matawalle will resign in the coming days.

psalmsjob:
Conspiracy theory is their bread and butter.... Conspiracy theory is the conclusion of a shallow thinker.

Tinubu has been giving them nightmares since 2022 even when they look themselves in the mirror is Tinubu they see

maxkia:
Na you dey play. They almost impeached Akpabio two weeks ago. He merely escaped by the whiskers. Once they Take out Akpabio, Then a vote of No confidence will be placed on tinubu citing ongoing insecurity and banditry in the country as the reason for Tinubu impeachment. I don't see Jagaban completing his first term in office talk more of a second term . Good morning

Anguldi:
The caliphate will want to get at Tinubu, Akpabio impeachment loading 📌💯
