Durabest: Is Ameachi aware that ADC is all about Obi and Atiku? It's as if Ameachi is not among top five ADC first eleven. The only persons I see talking about winning ADC ticket is Obi and Atiku.
Is Amaechi complaining to you? Keep using paracetamol for another person's headache.
Naijahero1: I've been laughing at the desperate woman who used all sorts of unprintable names for Jonathan. Now she is an adviser to Obi telling Obi that Obidients will be your downfall in 2027. That should be your prayer answered but you're rather crying. We didn't solicit your advice and we won't pay you shishi? Imagine Abike caring about about Obi wining 2027. What God cannot do does not exist.
She is protecting her pot of soup Is understandable SMH!
Vice President Kashim Shettima has stirred fresh political debate after declaring that Nigeria’s presidency cannot be attained through coercion, while also suggesting that there are more qualified leaders from the South-East than Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Speaking on the country’s political climate, Shettima stressed the importance of inclusivity and consensus-building in a diverse nation like Nigeria. According to him, leadership must be built on trust and broad national acceptance rather than pressure tactics.
“In a multi-ethnic, multi-religious politics like ours, nobody can bulldoze his way to power through deceit, intimidation, threats or blackmail,” he said. “You get to power by building bridges and reaching out.”
The Vice President, however, expressed support for the emergence of a president from the South-East, describing it as a potential step toward healing longstanding historical divisions dating back to the civil war.
“I am for the emergence of a Nigerian president of South-Eastern extraction to heal the wounds of the civil war,” Shettima noted, though he criticized what he described as certain confrontational approaches adopted by some political actors from the region.
His remarks took a more direct turn when he asserted that the South-East has individuals he considers more qualified for the presidency than Obi, referring to the former Anambra State governor in pointed terms.
Shettima highlighted former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha as one such figure, praising his national reach and political experience across different regions of the country. He also commended former Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi for his infrastructural record, describing him as one of the most effective leaders to have emerged from the South-East.
Drawing from Nigeria’s political history, the Vice President emphasized the role of grassroots mobilization and alliances in achieving electoral success. He referenced the late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua’s strategy of building nationwide support networks, underscoring that political victories are often determined by coalition-building rather than regional popularity.
Shettima’s comments are expected to generate reactions across the political spectrum, particularly among supporters of Peter Obi, who remains a prominent opposition figure with strong backing among young voters and urban populations.
Political observers say the statement may also signal early positioning ahead of the 2027 general elections, as conversations around power rotation and regional representation continue to shape Nigeria’s political discourse.
As debates intensify, Shettima’s remarks have once again brought to the fore the complex dynamics of leadership, regional equity, and political strategy in Africa’s most populous nation.
They will make a mountain out of a mole hill because they don't like the man wike meanwhile everyone knows deep down he didn't mean to physically shoot nor was it a threat but just a figure of speech way to convey the deepness of how he felt.
Many hypocrites abound waiting for the slightest opportunity to capitalize on the slightest lapse.
Many of us are hypocrites and hyenas waiting for the right moment to take opportunity!
He said shot seun Don't allow sentiment becloud your reasoning Haba!
Estello: Two term ADC rep member, Leke Abejide gave his thoughts on ADC weeks back. Adejide is the only elected ADC member in the house of Representatives as he has been there before David Mark and cos came in. He was suspended by the Mark led MWC Because he supported Presidemt Tinubu's re-election
"We will send the impostors to where they came from....."
helinues: There is no consistency with Peter Obi's beliefs or ideology about anything.
He just do things for trending.
I am still wondering the purpose of Obi's visit to Malami. That contradicted everything about Peter Obi. Or is it not same Malami Peter Obi and his supporters taunted all through the tenure of late president Buhari
Peter Obi can't be contradicting his own beliefs and think people will over look. Ko possible
Lovelink1991: According to her testimony she was uncomfortable after burning the Bible and she wasn't attack by anybody for burning the Bible, that was when she realized that Christianity is the most peaceful religion in the world.
God will never abandon his sheep when they are lost, he must look for them
NaijaHelper1: Why is this in the front page. If Tinubu was fixing Nigeria, you won't need to form a group to tell anyone. It'll be evident in the lives of the citizens.
you are right... just scamming the vulnaerable NIgerians..
FSBoperator: Going by past endorsements and campaigns by Giringori in places like Anamabra and Edo state gubernatorial polls, every candidate Obi endorsed lost woefully.
Things are not going to change overnight or fix themselves with the upcoming FCT LG polls slated for tomorrow as the APC and PDP have formed a coalition of sort under the command of Emperor Wike.
Wike's stellar performance across the FCT and its surrounding municipal areas especially in the area of infrastructural projects has endeared for the first time, the ruling party to FCT residents and indigenes alike.
Buying groundnuts and roaming markets in the FCT like a madman will not see to voters in the FCT voting ADC over Wike's endorsed candidates in his coalition between the PDP and APC in the FCT.
What this election is setting forth is a coalition being formed between Wike's faction in the PDP endorsing APC in the 2027 Presidential elections.
