Bonesbreaker:
Peter obi not doing good in North mostly kano state

Calm down.
Peter Obi does not need a SINGLE vote from Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, etc to be president.

He only needs the majority votes and at least 25% from 24 states which he is already amassing.

Throwback:
Even Tinubu already knows he is not a dependable ally.

No news here.

He will be kicked out of office once Tinubu is sworn into power by May 29th.

"Sworn in" with votes from where?

Helo @LegendHero:

Do you remember our conversation about the voters' demography in the north and especially Nasarawa State about a year or thereabout ago?
This result from the APC chairman's Polling Unit alone has all but settled our argument, hasn't it?



...and a snippet too from Adamawa State below.

Obi doing wonders too right in Atiku's enclave...wow!

Here you go Nigerians, videos of Thi.e.f.nu.b.u's foot-soldier, MC Oluomo and his boys threatening Igbos or anyone trying to vote Peter Obi in Lagos.
That's their "structure of criminality" patriotic Nigerians wish to have destroyed.


Oba Elegushi has also reportedly unleashed thugs on perceived "dissidents". They are scared stiff at the prospect of Peter Obi humiliating them.

We will ensure the authorities see these.

UPDATE:

Military men have now arrived Oba Elegushi's domain where APC thugs had earlier attempted to disenfranchise perceived Labour Party supporters.
We are hopeful that eligible voters will now be allowed to peacefully exercise their franchise.

Chants of LP! LP!! LP!!! rent the air.

I wonder why they're so afraid of a "structureless social media party".

If Obi wins the popular votes, he’ll definitely be president.
As I’ve noted umpteen times, the only potential impediment to Obi’s victory today will be failure to win the SE and SS en-bloc. If he wins those regions convincingly, he can start preparing for his inauguration. There will be no run-off as he will comfortably get 25% in another 13 states across the country.

Atiku? His electoral fortune depends almost entirely on how the SE and SS vote today. If the 2 regions vote Obi 70%,, then he should forget his Aso Rock dream.

As for Thi.e.f.n.b.u, he signed his death knell the day he paired himself with another Muslim to come up with that wickedly divisive ticket.
He will lose both north and south woefully.

CoronaVirusRelo:
Great!


I knew Asiwaju’s victory was going to be speedy

Quit this delusion.
Nobody loses both North and South and still wins a presidential election in Nigeria.
Thi.e.fn.ub.u will lose both.

He will not be president, at least not this year.

Quite enlightening.

All we have to do is monitor the BVAS devices closely to ensure they aren’t pre-loaded with fictitious names. Everyone at their various Polling Booths should demand to see the devices and ensure they display “00” prior to commencement of accreditation.

Viva INEC!

Penguin2:
Hmmm!

But hope there won’t be violence with this sort of divisions?

Violence is inevitable unfortunately, unless security forces are massively mobilized.

Penguin2:
It is now beyond rumour that the governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has adopted the candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Bola Tinubu, as his preferred candidate and has directed his foot soldiers to get to work to market and deliver him in Rivers State.

But prior to that choice, the pervading political temperature favoured Peter Obi.

But we all know how influential sitting governors can be sometimes, add that to the 200,000 aides he employed late 2022, and add the tribalistic dimension he is alleged to have introduced in marketing Tinubu, we all can agree that there will definitely be some impact.

So, indigenes and residents of Rivers, what is the pervading political atmosphere as of today in Rivers State?

Are people in Rivers State supporting Obi like it was before?

Or are they loyal enough to Wike to the extent that they are now switching their support to Tinubu?

Please Tinubu Resident Supporters on Nairaland should stay away from this post let’s hear from genuine Rivers people.

Thank you!

Nwaetche

Late Tuesday evening, he confronted two (2) of his Commissioners who seemed not to have hidden their support for Obi all along. It was kept hush-hush though for obvious reasons.

Souvenirs bearing Obi for President and SIM for governor were reportedly distributed recently in one of the constituencies by loyalists of a HoRs candidate, and a close ally of one of the Commissioners, hence the altercation.
Words have it too that Atiku still enjoys the support of a substantial number of Wike's cabinet members, just like most of them have been openly sympathetic to Wike's cause.

My opinion is that Rivers will most-likely go to Obi, with Atiku coming second but Thi.e.f.n.ubu might just be lucky enough to get 25% if Wike's foot soldiers genuinely tow his path on Saturday.

I really feel for SIM though. Dude has lost weight considerably.

MODIFIED:

I forgot to mention that most of Wike's 200,000 foot soldiers have not even been paid up till now.
It remains to be seen how he intends to get their loyalty and commitment on Saturday.

lorenzobanks:
Wahali, Obidense are the worst set of human being. They call Sowore rude because, he call those criminal politicians by their name, but they insult Tinubu and [b]make mockery of his old age. [/b]Tinubu is millions ahead of Other candidate. Sowore is far better than Obi. Was it written that one must have a certain type of posture when the national anthem is played. Was he sitting down? Obidense, try and use your brain when you want to counter a presidential candidate. This was how you troll Buhari till he called you guys inconsequential 5%. I wonder how you will amend when election is over and Pitobi returns to PDP.

Oh, so you now accept that Thi.e.f.n.u.b.u is old?
How do we respect “his old age “ when he claims to be 69 years old?

You can’t have it both ways my friend.
By criminally falsifying his age, the Balablu crooner exposed himself to disrespect.

These guys with their penchant for trying to force some flawed narratives down our throats.

How exacrly did the north support OBJ and Jonathan when Buhari beat them both blue in black in virtually all the 12 Muslim-dominant core northern states in 2003 and 2011?
I don’t understand why they keep regurgitating this lie when the results are still out there for everyone to see.

Heavensent01:
in 2019, Atikulated cretin now obedient rats elected Atiku as Nigeria president on social media but Buhari was sworn in reality



reality is staring up at igbo and their tribalism politics like wtf!



so me a Yoruba man after insulting the hell out of my tribe will stand under the sun to vote for a man you imbeciles cursed for 8yrs for his misrule but only support because of tribalism and abandoned a man that don't discriminate between Christian and muslims, igbo, Yoruba Hausa? lover of education? daddy of brilliant minds



you igbo on Nairaland must be joking. competency over you people mediocre, never will elect an idiot again as Nigeria president




continue your online voting till Feb 25

With Nigeria drifting unabatedly to the verge of total collapse, this one is still enmeshed in deep tribalism/religious bigotry.

Oma se o!

Newton2024:
For Bola Ahmed Tinubu to win 2023 presidential election, he must be able to gather up to 80% of votes from the North like Buhari did in 2015 and 2019.

But is this possible? Considering the fact that Buhari is no longer on the ballot, Atiku and Kwankwanso are the most popular politicians from the North and most Christians (99.9%) in the North are going to vote against Muslim-Muslim ticket.

That's a fact.
His chances are so slim that winning the north as improbable as it looks won't even be enough to make Thi.e.f.n.ubu president.

peepydelano:
Who takes this divorcee fake pastor seriously mtcheww

I do.

Garrulous Wike, you have shown yourself to be unprincipled and no one takes you seriously anymore.
Where is the “unity” and “justice” you seek in your s:lly support for a wickedly divisive all-Muslim ticket after another Muslim’s 8 years at the helm?

Your so-called Integrity Group could only settle for a complete bag of filth of a candidate, a demented drug-dealing, certificate-forging and renowned bullion van-deploying thief.
You’re just an embittered sore loser.
You have no modicum of dignity and lack the rectitude to dictate to Rivers people.

You and the "affliction" you're trying to foist on hapless Nigerians out of your selfish political interest will be bundled to political oblivion in just a few days' time.

What exactly is Keyamo wailing about?
Did he not defend the nomination of Lauretta Onochie as an INEC Commissioner?

Hopium:
Kano battle is officially between APC and NNPP. LP and PDP are out.

Kano State gubernatorial candidate deflected to APC yesterday. LP NorthWest PPC also collapsed their entire struture into APC.

Yes, but that's for the guber.
The presidential is a completely different thing.

itsRhamzy:
Obi is who I would've preferred to vote for but he doesn't have the numbers yet to unseat the ruling party so Atiku got my vote. Emilokan is not popular in the north and naso most of una go underestimate the quiet Atiku till he wins.

You’re already falling for the APC’s mind games.
You’re reasoning exactly they way they’d have you reason.

He “doesn’t have the numbers yet” because you’re depriving him of your own very valuable vote. He needs your vote to get “the numbers” he requires to win. Imagine a thousand PVC holders reasoning like you do…that’s a lot of votes to lose. Tambuwal won his 2md term election as Sokoto State governor with a marginal 500 or thereabout votes.

The current president of Zambia who is currently transforming the country won the presidential election with a party formed less than a year to the polls. Just like Obi, he was mocked when he commenced the project.
Ruto of Kenya also clinched the presidency with a “structureless social media party” he formed after stepping down as the country’s Vice President.
He handed a resounding defeat to a serial contestant and the ruling party’s candidate, Prime Minister Raila Odinga with all incumbency advantage and state machinery.

Buhari with his structureless CPC also ammased 12 million votes in 2011, without having a single councillor anywhere in Nigeria! That number will be more than enough to secure victory for Obi next week with 3 major candidates slugging it out.

I implore you Sir, to do what you know is right by voting for Peter Obi. It’s more honorable to “waste” your vote pursuing a noble cause than to contribute towards plunging our country into a deeper mess by voting renowned thieves.

CilicMarin:
Kano central PDP Senatorial Candidate Dr. Abubakar Nuhu Ɗan Buran joins APC this afternoon. And he's the current member house of representatives from Kano municipal



I go laugh some people on Saturday.

Seun, another fake news graces Nairaland’s hallowed front page yet again. The OP, a renowned APC media hireling flagrantly labels an aspirant a candiidate and with no shred of evidence whatsoever in form of a link to a credible media house, only a random picture it becomes a Front Page item, aided by your notoriously partisan mod.

This man was sacked for Laila Buhari as the PDP candidate by the Appeal Court, and the the Supreme Court affirmed same less than 3 weeks ago.

Nairaland is gradually being reduced to a Grapevine courtesy these desperate APC cretins while you do nothing.

As for the ultra-desperate Balablu crooner, luring failed aspirants with stolen Lagosians’ money will not save you.
When is the Sokoto Deputy Governor you dangled 5M dollars at defecting to the APC?

Money won’t save you from the impending defeat of Saturday 25th February.
Your fate is sealed.

Ireportlive:
TVC, Max FM, TheNation, newspaper, Oando, INTELS, Remita

Which of them belongs to Buhari of FG

Take your lies off here, ogbeni. You must think you’re engaging kids you can hoodwink with your fables.

Remita is propreitory to SystemSpecs, owned by Tanimola Obaro, someone I know very very well.
…and who told you Thie.f.n.u.b.u owns INTELS?

Yes, the Balablu crooner owns The Nation Newspaper and TVC but how much do those struggling media outfits generate compared with the billions of naira he steals monthly from Lagosians’ money through his Alpha Beta firm in the name of some fraudulent Tax and Advisory service?

This is about the most dispassionate and informed analysis of the state of affairs in the NE I have seen in a while.
It’s pretty simple:
With their divisive and ill-advised all Muslim ticket, Thi.e.fn.u.b.u and his APC have already lost Bauchi, Adamawa, Taraba and Gombe by virtue of the sizable Christian population in those states.

In fact, the percentage you allocated to the APC could be lesser on election day in Bauchi and Adamawa. Kaura as you rightly opined enjoys cult-following and with Dogara and his Siyawa people currently in open rebellion against the party, baba Balablu should brace up for utter annihilation up there.

I do not know much about Yobe and Borno though.

Nchenches:
Adams Oshiomhole had to quickly ask Tinubu to bring down his hands raised with walking stick as the National anthem was playing.
Tinubu never recognised that it was the National anthem playing, because Tinubu suffers dementia.
That was last week and the last of Tinubu as hopelessness for Nigeria displayed in the open.

These are the images you need to circulate more, so Nigerians can see the "affliction" of a candidate the APC and their wicked supporters are trying to foist on Nigerians.

Selling your PVC at N20,000, amount suffering for the next 8 years.


Wake up, my people! Wake up!

Vote your conscience and not your hunger now, because your future and family’s future is in your hand 🤚.

God bless you!
This needs to be shared across social media platforms because most Nigerians have short memories and are very adept at adjusting to terrible situations and forging ahead.

franchasofficia:
I was skeptical about Obi winning around last month, but after the intels I got from some Aso Rock eavesdropper, I became more convinced that Peter Obi is winning the election on Saturday.


Remember, Tinubu's only hope of winning the election is through massive rigging using APC filthy political structure he and his supporters has been screaming about since God knows when.

Tinubu is banking on corrupt political elites like El Rufai, Ganduje, Nyesome Wike, Dapo Abiodun, Adams Oshiomhole, etc to rig their states for him in exchange for some political rewards should he win. Tinubu doesn't know that this very election is different from Bala Blu Bulabo


But unknown to Tinubu and his overambitious supporters who are lovers of corruption and election manipulation, rigging will be minimal in this very Presidential election, and its not only because of the use of BVAS, but because it is not a 2-horse race like in the previous elections, but a 4-horse race. Now, do you know the effect of the 4-horse race?


Yes Labor Party may not have the political structures to help them rig elections like APC and PDP, but the beauty of this 4-horse race is that PDP, APC and NNPP will be helping Labor Party to checkmate each other in regions Labor Party may not have strong political structure or presence, which would minimize rigging and the outcome of a block vote to one party.


In the Northwest which happens to be Tinubu's greatest hope of securing a block vote from the so called KKK states, PDP and NNPP will be fully on ground with their own structures checkmating APC from rigging hence, the result will not be massively rigged like they use to in the past elections.


In the Northeast which is Atiku's stronghold and another Tinubu's hope of a block vote, APC and PDP which have strong structures here will be checkmating each other against massive rigging thereby reducing the rate of manipulation and neutralizing the possibility of a block vote going to one candidate or party.



In the Southwest, which is another Tinubu's stronghold, PDP, LP and APC have strong presence here and will be checkmating each other from massive rigging, hence the election will be free and fair to a good percentage, which will help Obi to get more than 25% of total votes cast as a result of dependable Christians in the SW, plus high Igbo population in SW.


In the Southeast which is one of Obi's strongholds, rigging will be very minimal because APC, PDP and LP all have strong presence and structures here. At the end, Obi will get majority vote above 60%, mostly because of his incorruptible personality compared to other Igbo criminal politicians like Rochas, Kalu, Theodore Orji, etc


Another factor that will help Obi get a landslide winning in the SE is the Igbo marginalization perception since the end of civil war, plus the warrisome insecurity caused by APC led government, and the widely rumored Tinubu's sponsoring of sit at home enforcement in Southeast to cause voter apathy in Southeast where Obi is expected to score one of the highest number of votes.

Nice.

The only potential impediment to Obi's victory will be failure to win the South East and South South regions en-bloc.
His electoral fortune depends largely on the support and turn-out of voters from those 2 regions.
If he wins those convincingly, he'll definitely be president as 25% is certain in 13 other states across the country.
