Kachala and Obi will learn politics together.

Dey play. Kachalla Waziri Atiku is your next president.

yarimo:
OBI was too desperate for Free ticket to the extent he can't think or calculate properly, now NDC supreme leader Mr Dickson succeeded in caging him completely

Awuuf dey run belle. NDC had always been an SPV for Wike alias "Gimme Pawa" but the allure of free ticket was too good to pass up on. Kwankwaso was sent to execute the mission of tricking Obi out of the ADC and he joined the coalition, leaving with Obi after only 3 weeks while Obi went wild with the OK frenzy, salivating at the prospects of having Kano votes. With the pace of attacks by Dickson against Obi, Obi might end up not being on the ballot. His campaign is already dampened at a time when he should be building momentum. In the end, we will all learn politics together.

IbnB:
Chibuike Amaechi and the entire Buhari family ought be given the blood to drink

Why? For making the infrastructure available? Is it their faults that the NRC under Tinubu's tribesman, Kayode Opeifa, cannot maintain the rails? Under his watch, we have had series of derailment incidents on both the Kaduna-Abuja rail and now the Warri-Itakpe rail. It speaks to a poor maintenance culture.

Igbophobia:
As a bonanfide Igbo, your gaslighting means nothing to me. I really don't care if another corrupt incompetent entity grabs power whether he's from the SW NE or SS. The earlier you guys ruin the country as you're wont to, the better for everyone. What I'll neever support is a Fulani who'll give tacit support for continual ethnic cleansing. After all with all the calamity of Buhari and disaster of Tinubu, the poorest entities in the country are still not Igbo. No to any Fulani. Now or in the future okay.

Very ironic coming from someone who's username is Igbophobia. No Fulani will be creating such a pathetic and victimhood moniker, though. The Fulanis can take care of themselves. Merely shouting "No to Fulani" is not enough. You need to rein in on Obi to step down for Tinubu and wholeheartedly go all out to vote Tinubu so a Fulaniman will not emerge as president. You do not care indeed for the presidency but you all were shouting "Obi or nothing" just a minute ago. Who's fooling who? Fulani Buhari won without your support and 5.6m Fulanis still voted Tinubu into power in 2023 without your support. What's the impact of your rethoric?

If you ever start thinking everyone around you is crazy, then maybe you are the one who's insane. Obidients have pushed their luck too far due to Obi's weak posture in reining in his supporters. At this point, he should step aside and throw his weight behind Tinubu.

Yet, the Southeast is the only region that votes one-way like a herd while every other region split their votes among different parties as a measure of security. This has only ensured that they cannot become shareholders in the political party that ends up winning because they put all their political eggs in one basket while vilifying other persons from their region that takes a separate stance. What's wrong in giving all the major parties substantial votes in order to reduce your risk? Afterall, giving 100% of your votes to a single individual will still not make him president unless the votes are merged with those from other regions. This herd mentality was what cost the region the senate presidency in 2015 when Ngige was voted out for aligning with the APC.

Igbophobia:
That's Obi's business whether he steps up or down. What I'm saying is that not Nigerian should be stewpid enough to vote a Fulani. Tinubu doesn't need Obi stepping down anyway. he can 'win' the way he did in 2023 and complete south (Yoruba) presidency the way you all shouted in 2014 that it was the turn of the north. In any case no one cares

The people that shouted it was the turn of the North were Northern PDP members whom Jonathan had signed an agreement with. Same way Tinubu's Emi Lokan statement was directed at Northern APC members. Ojukwu contested the 2007 elections under APGA after 8 years of Obasanjo's presidency. Did any Northerner ask him to step down that it was the turn of the North? Did any Northerner create a username with "Fulaniphobia" as a result of that? They didn't do so because the North didn't have any pact with him. What pact does the Southeast have with the North for you all to be demanding that all Northerners step down from the race? If you are truly serious about "Southern turn", ask Obi to step aside and wholeheartedly back Tinubu to continue so you can stand a chance of being a V.P to the North in 2031 if he wins. Otherwise, you lose that slot to the Southsouth while screaming Igbophobia.

Igbophobia:
I agree with you. Nevertheless, anyone but Fulani.

It is the turn of the South. Afterall, Buhari had a disastrous 8 years. Let Tinubu complete another disastrous 8 for balance. Afterall, Nigeria is a country of particular DISASTER. :

Agreed. Obi should immediately step down and support Tinubu and not try to split Southern votes. He should refrain from going all over the place with branded OK t-shirts, forcing an alliance with a Fulani Kwankwaso all in a bid to get Fulani votes. It's hypocritical and the Fulanis see through him.

Igbophobia:
Anyone but Atiku. Only a foulish Nigerian would support Atiku or any Fulani even in 2031. Instead of Atiku, Tinubu should rig as usual.

I sense defeat already. Like I said, Obidients will end up voting for Tinubu in 2027. Not out of conviction but out of conquest. Tinubu didn't rig in 2027, the North/fulanis voted for him in 2023 as payback for supporting a Fulani Buhari in 2015. Why is Obi running with a Fulani Kwankwaso anyways? Fulani Kwankwaso contested in 2023 after 8 years of Fulani Buhari presidency. His assignment by Tinubu was simple and he has perfectly executed it. Even if Tinubu wins in 2027 (without your support of course), power will still head North. In the end, the only conversation that matters when you play politics at the national level is, "what's in it for my people"?. Only one region appear to be losing out in the power equation. The Southeast will be better-off wholeheartedly supporting Tinubu in 2027. Listen to your new crop of leaders in Soludo, Umahi and Uzodinma so the East can stand a chance at a Vice presidency to a Fulaniman in 2031. Honest advise.

P.S: Your username is already suggesting victimhood. No one has phobia for the Igbos, they just need to play this politics like other regions are playing it. Without emotions.

We warned that the NDC had long been touted as Wike's SPV to field candidates against Fubara if APC were to give him the ticket. This was long before the Lokoja court order that gave birth to the party. Dickson and Kwankwaso are simply carrying out their assignment to the later. Obi should have been wary of Kwankwaso who said in 2023 that he would rather support Tinubu if he doesn't win. How can a man that contested the presidential elections in 2023 after 8 years of Buhari suddenly turn around in 2027 to claim it was the turn of the South? Obi fell for the scam and began to wear branded OK t-shirts everywhere while still in a coalition. Something Kwankwaso has never done till this day. Now, it's Dickson himself seeming to slow down the momentum of the party. Several weeks after a direct primary, results are still yet to be released while he continues to release disparaging remarks against Obi and his Obidients. Obi is tongue-tied and has apparently thrown his Obidients under the bus because he has secured a free ticket for himself.

Look what Peter Obi has gotten himself into out of the quest for free ticket. Obidients will end up voting Tinubu in 2027. Not out of conviction but out of conquest.

The jokes write themselves. Both Yahaya Bello and Ifeanyi Okowa are contesting for senate under the APC.

Pathetic. The killings in Yelwata, Benue state and Plateau where Tinubu only stopped at the airport is the work of the opposition too. Well, he should know. He was the opposition in 2015. The killing of Nigerian soldiers in Kaduna today by "repentant bandits" is also the work of the opposition. He was fast to impose a state of emergency in Rivers but is powerless against the opposition that wants to spoil his government.

This is all Tinubu lives for, IMF validation. Focused countries know the pathway to prosperity is often times in variance to IMF recommendations. "The Confessions of an Economic Hitman".

Clearly, Kwankwaso is under pressure, even in Kano. His defection to the NDC has not been received well at all. Atiku will get good numbers in Kano this time.

Akpakomiza2:
Senator Sabo Nakudu is a formidable candidate and close to Badaru Abubakar

Oga, Badaru will do anti-party in 2027. Ditto Ganduje. Tinubu betrayed almost all his allies that gave him numbers in the Northwest, including Elrufai, and even in the Northeast, e.g Senator Goje and Kashim Imam. His campaign in the North will be a hard sell because he has lost Northern trust (Amana).

Obi blindsided other astute politicians like Abaribe, Ihedioha and co that could have given him sound advice and decamped to the NDC without giving them any notice. Now, he has found himself surrounded by wolves. The duo of Kwankwaso and Dickson do not want Obi to win in 2027. They only want to make the party viable so Dickson can deputise Kwankwaso in 2031. In order to do so, Kwankwaso struck a deal and moved his godson, Abba Kabir to the APC where Tinubu handed him the entire party structure, leaving Ganduje out in the cold. We are all learning politics together.

NgeneUkwenu:
L

You don wake up The way I go troll next January eh!

Welcome back NgeneUkwenu! You disappeared like the fart of a leprous witch but now you are back. APC members in Kaduna are saying that they will vote Uba Sani but not Tinubu. What say you?

saintkel:
I just pity d southern part of Nigeria.....every northern people except for some educated or exposed ones will go out for d north...in d south, we r divided.....if only Tinubu had carried d south with him, he would have enjoyed d southern unity ....dude was just focussed on Lagos alone

What Southern unity are you talking about? Has the South ever supported Tinubu? Obi defeated him across the entire South except for 4 Yoruba states which he won out of 17 Southern states. The North made Tinubu president. If he fails to get Northern support in 2027, he's toast.

Some Tinubu lackeys are confusing support for governors to be tantamount to support for Tinubu. Come 2027, both in the North and South, we will see more governors retaining their seats but failing to deliver Tinubu. Some of his snake oil merchants will then claim they betrayed Tinubu simply because they couldn't sell liquor in the middle of Mecca.

Akpakomiza2:
Up up Abba. A big blow to kwankwaso and obi

Lol. In one breath, you claim Gawuna is irrelevant and in the next one, you say his leaving will be a huge loss to Obi and Kwankwaso. Should we then say that his joining the ADC will be a huge win for the party or he's still irrelevant?

seunmsg:
Why? Because a faceless group issued an irrelevant statement? Who takes this kind of sponsored rubbish seriously? Every sensible person knows who the recognized leasers of PDP are. They are in Wadata plaza conducting the business of the party daily. The online faction can keep making noise online, nobody cares. Their candidates (if they have any) will contest their election online as usual.

If Wike and his fellow impostors fail to vacate the PDP headquarters, it will invariably mean that Tinubu is using might in support of Wike's flagrant disregard to court orders.

Akpakomiza2:
I don't have that time. Tell us why southern kaduna have started supporting APC.

The same reason why Bishop Hassan Kukah has suddenly gone mute. Go figure! You don't have that time because it's all propaganda. The projects only exists on paper.

Akpakomiza2:
This is very untrue. Sani has outperformed El rufai. He has sited more projects in SK more than any other governor. Rufai hardly had any project in SK that is why he was hated. You hardly hear of insecurity. For the first time ever, APC cleared southern kaduna which gave Kudan his largest votes in the last cycle. Most of those that supported Kudan have abandoned him.

Lol. List the projects that he has carried out in Southern Kaduna. Are you still dwelling on the outcome of by-elections? In any case, Southern Kaduna alone cannot make Uba Sani governor. This is assuming that the entire region votes him. They won't. Anyways time is a gentleman.

Akpakomiza2:
El rufai that lost kaduna? Stop over hyping El rufai. There are people who quietly delivered, rufai isnt. Obi won the south narrowly. Tinubu resoundingly humiliated Atiku up north and south

So kindly explain why Tinubu lost Lagos as a candidate on the ballot. Should we take it that the likes of Sanwo-olu, Gbajabiamila, Obasa and Tinubu himself are overhyped? After Kano, Kaduna was the Northern state that delivered the highest number of votes to Tinubu in the Northwest. Do you think Atiku is a small politician? Elrufai lost Kaduna to Atiku but Tinubu lost Lagos to Obi. Goal-Goal.

Akpakomiza2:
Now that he has won over southern kaduna, it will be easier

Is that what you have been told? Southern Kaduna largely voted LP in 2023. With the alignment with Isah Ashiru, Elrufai's base has simply merged with the traditional PDP bloc that transcended both Northern and Southern Kaduna. Beyond propaganda, Uba Sani has been very lacklustre and uninspiring. He has performed woefully and all his promises to Southern Kaduna are still uncompleted and abandoned. The quality of his projects also leave much to be desired. They are very substandard and do not compare to Elrufai's.

The thread is already fundamentally flawed by saying that Atiku is making his sixth attempt at the presidency. 2027 will be his fourth attempt. Just as 2015 was Buhari’s fourth attempt. In previous occasions, he didn't clinch the ticket and wasn't on the ballot. 2027 will also be Obi's third attempt on the ballot.

Akpakomiza2:
Just like in 2019, 2023 he will still lose. He is the regular customer of kaduna state.

Uba Sani "won" the last election by less than 10,000 votes. Do with that what you will.

Akpakomiza2:
At least they gave Tinubu sufficient votes while Atiku your master fell short. That was the decider and it will happen again

Lol. Tinubu got his margins in the North because the likes of Elrufai worked hard with their messaging, convincing Northerners to return a favour. That was why he got 5.6m votes in the North that made him president. He only won 4 Yoruba states out of 17 Southern states. Obi defeated him resoundingly in the South.

SlavaUkraini:
Never a Supporter of Jagaban....

But opening the market to Rice importation was a step in the right direction...

Bros the price of a bag of Rice before then was Crazy......

The thing went as high as 160k for a 50kg bag...

But today you can buy 50kg bag of Rice for 60k....

Yes our farmers and investors in farm Mills are suffering today but they are in the minority....

Compared to majority of Nigerians that was suffering from high food prices because the minority could do nothing to bring the price down...

So let the minority have their say and the majority is enjoying the Way...

What caused the prices to skyrocket? Was it not inflation from a poorly planned subsidy removal and naira devaluation? Name one commodity that did not see astronomical rise in price. The solution to that according to you and Tinubu is to further impoverish farmers by turning to importation. How much is a price of fertiliser today? What is Tinubu's policy on agriculture? Does he even have one? If Thailand had embraced importation, they will not be donating rice to Nigeria today. Does Nigeria have any home-grown product it can donate to any country today?

thesicilian:
Same broken record sound all the time.
It's always the current president that's the worst in history to you guys, that's why you never see the big picture. When was Nigeria ever on the verge of attaining food security? Under Buhari? Jonathan? Obasanjo? To you people the current president is always the worst ever, until the next comes in then this worst ever becomes the better option.

On whether Tinubu is the worst ever is no longer a subject of discuss. It's an established fact. Someone who campaigned on the mantra of corn is now importing both corn and rice and you see no problems with that. Attaining food security should be the goal of any serious government, not capitulating to importation due to the fallout a poorly timed and planned policies.
