Judolisco:
Number is wrong, he took away pdp votes in d last election and majority of his voters, voted on ethnicity lines... He represents zoning justice, yet he hasn't spoken once about zoning the presidency to d south, d likes of fayose and wike were the ones talking back then.... D dude ran to another party....

Lastly the youth appeal is also limited to d youth of a particular region
💯% facts
Politics › Re: 5 Strong Reasons Why Peter Obi Should Lead The Opposition Coalition (Opinion) by asfrank(m):
You guys are forgetting the fact that most people voted for PO out of fear of Muslim Muslim ticket. It wasn't out of any love or his ability to lead. It wouldn't be so this time around.
2. He can't unite sh**t, if he could then LP wouldn't be in such a disarray. If he is incapable of uniting a small party, what makes you think he can unite diverse opposition parties and interests. You think people like Elrufai and Atiku are moving up and down because of love for Nigeria? It is their personal interest obi can't handle those men. They would control him.
3. The youths clamouring for Obi, mostly are first time voters, GenZ, they just follow trends, most of them just accept the disinformation spread all round by Obidients without verifing the facts or make research. So i don't see a change in that voter demography. In the 10 to 20 years, these Genz would become the majority, that's when his best opportunity may arise. For now I doubt it.
3. Lock down a region? Wth how many votes? If not out of Bigotry, Nepotism, tribalism, then Obi couldn't have gotten over 95% votes in the South East. They voted for him, not because he was the best, as most of them who witnessed his time as Governor testified, but because of fear of MUMU ticket, perceived injustice in power sharing, and hate for the Yoruba people. You guys should just for one be honest just for once, no one is going to hold it against you for wanting a South Eastern to also hold the office of president. But the paint job done on OBI was beyond comprehension. I mean the guy is basically average, but they made it look as though he has two heads, the alpha and omega who can handle all problems besetting the country.

SE folks spent so much time and resources in laundrying Obi's image. Infact he is amazed at the outcome he feels it's organic love. That explains the reason why he keep moving up and down attending events and capitalizing on people's grief, just to remain relevant.Who knew him B4 2019, does organic love start during elections? If he has organic votes, he should stay in one place, the votes will always be for him regardless. Buhari is a testament to this fact. The man came out once every 4 years, but still had the same votes.

Obi was unknown even after the 2019 elections, what brought him to lime light was MUMu ticket, social media campaign against Tinubu, which was amplified by Christian leaders across the country. That should explain why he couldn't amass then same votes in non Christian dominated states.
I was returning from Abuja prior to the elections, a guy just stood up and started preaching, next was how the plan was to Turn everyone in Nigeria into a Muslim should Tinubu wins. That was the message that gave him most of his votes not any organic love

Now that fear is no longer there, he is left wth the GenZ twitter, Facebook, tiktok users and his SE votes.

2019 is different from this scenario. Buhari can boast of 12m from the north alone each time he ran.
Tinubu got 5m votes from the north and it's poised to shrink further reason he's looking to subsume South South to compensate for any loss he'll suffer in the north. An Atiku/Obi combo will harvest more votes in north and south south. Also, the third force Obi represents will be collapsed if he pairs with Atiku

If Jonathan runs, Obi out of respect will not. It's simple
Difference in Northern Votes between 2019 and 2023 was due to BVAS, recheck your data

And how do you expect Atiku to be vice to a politically lesser bitter obi who Atiku brought to national level? If not for Atiku, who is bitter obi?

Some of you emergency political analyst should face the Romance and business section and stop analysing politics like a toddler….bitter obi will never be Nigeria president and that’s the truth grin
That's to tell you that a vast number of obi's supporters know virtually nothing, research is far from them, just incoherent hypothesis every now and then
Politics › Re: ONLY Option For Atiku And Obi Is To Merge And Enter The Race by asfrank(m): 2:56pm On Apr 24, 2025
No combination or Permutation can win the presidential election for those two. Atiku over over estimates himself, he feels Nigerians owe him the presidency, hence he contest even when power sharing formula doesn't favor him. He is solely responsible for the rot in PDP, his ambition has brought more harm than good to the party. His inability to manage diverse opinions that doesn't align with his means he would forever remain an aspirant.

That's his Major undoing as for Obi, is the fact that his kinfolks potray him as a saint, the Holiest of holy, a Man without blemish, makes it nauseating. I mean everyone has a past, mistakes are made, man up, take responsibility, but no, they make him a saint while still living. You don't see Atiku spend so much time denying stealing public funds while in office, via privatization and other schemes probably nor Tinubu denying having narcotics case in the US. Not saying any of those things are good anyway, but a pretence is something deadly. And that's what Obi does
Those who subscribe to this image laundry are people who are easily influenced, bereft of critical thinking, research and easily swayed by silly stunts.
Obi will not be getting that office. Atiku can try again in 2031 when the South might have completed their 8 years in power

Watching what exactly, for the next tragedy to occur so I can pay a visit. That's his stock and trade, posing as a savior. How many IDPs, religious gathering, funerals did he visit prior to 2019, he was literally sitting in his house when Atiku picked him up.
He should return from the Vatican, where he has gone for another publicity stunt and continue his visit.

Let's do this by the numbers, comparison between 2019 elections results and 2023 taking into consideration votes cast across the regions. It should help demystify some thoughts.

North Central:
2019: 4,601,123
2023: 4,564,351

North East:
2019: 4,582,072
2023: 3,435,741

North West:
2019: 8,423,389
2023: 6,690,622

South East:
2019: 2,220,756
2023: 2,224,934

South South:
2019: 3,355,081
2023: 2,857,640

South West:
2019: 4,142,162
2023: 4,253,442
Data taken from Wikipedia.

From the data above you can easily notice that with proper accreditation, the core north Voting strength is just a myth. The region suffered the most difference in Total valid votes cast across the two elections. North Central does not necessarily follow the voting patterns from the Core north, an example can be seen in 2011 elections, where GEJ performance in the core north was poor, but performed better in NC.

Nigerians self, you said hosting comes with huge cost and they gift you N300m from state purse, unvetted as support for your event in the state, mind you the state wouldn't have fund you, if that event won't take place in the state initially.

Now you chose not to organise the event again because of entity difference while not return the support or gift as you may have called it back to the state as entity with dignity, but no you claim it was a gift, gift for what purpose?



You received 300million gift from state purse and decides to host the event in another state double racket, and still have the guts to reply, wetin una dey smoke self?

That's not my point. Maj Gen, is as high as it gets, just one rank shy from a full General. Level of security clearance he must have been on, engagements, experience. You make such a person a commissioner, his memo can be easily turned down by the Chief security Advisor to the Governor.

On the Court Judgement, the SC didn't delve into the merits of the matter.

However, the President was wrong and ill-advised on the removal of elected officials. Worse still to even vest the authority of making laws on FEC, rather than the NASS is another aberration.

Fagbemi isn't helping this President at all.
Not laws, but regulations. No new law would be made in Rivers state.

That same National Assembly gave the President the power to suspend a Governor via the Emergency Powers (Repeal and Re-enactment) Bill of 2018.


It's stupidity to think the president declared state of emergency without the input of the NA.
He doesn't have to consult them first, but he is obligated by law to send the gazette to them afterwards. The assembly upon a resolution can either rectify by a 2/3 majority or reject such declaration.
It's all contained in section 305 of the constitution.
Politics › Re: Can The Governor Be Impeached Without The Chief Judge? Yes by asfrank(m): 1:30pm On Mar 18, 2025
The Chief Judge's role in the impeachment process is not by choice, but constitutional. He or she is required by law to set up the panel to investigate the allegations once he has been notified by the House of Assembly.
There's a time frame for which he is expected to act, within 7 days. If the chief judge refuses to comply, a petition to the NJC follows and he will be investigated for violating the provisions of the constitution he swore to uphold.

It's not about sentiment, but the assembly have carefully placed to governor in a very tight corner, the only way out from my own perspective is negotiations with WIke
