Peter Obi Is The First Presidential Candidate To Announce His Vice President Without Waiting - Tanko

In a recent interview on Arise TV, on Sunday, May 31, 2026, Yunusa Tanko, National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, spoke about the unfolding political developments surrounding the presidential ambition of Peter Obi and the early announcement of his running mate under the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). The discussion focused on campaign strategy, political coordination, and the significance of early ticket formation ahead of the 2027 general elections.

During the conversation, Tanko emphasized what he described as an unusual but strategic move by Obi in unveiling his vice-presidential candidate ahead of other contenders. He argued that this approach demonstrates preparedness, political clarity, and a deliberate effort to avoid last-minute disruptions that often affect campaign planning in Nigeria’s electoral system.

Speaking during the interview, Tanko stated, “Peter Obi is the first presidential candidate to announce his vice president without waiting.” He used the remark to highlight what he described as Obi’s forward-thinking leadership style and readiness to engage fully in the electoral process without delay or uncertainty.

Tanko further explained that early announcement of a running mate allows the campaign structure to stabilize quickly, ensuring that both national and regional coordination can begin without internal disputes. According to him, this helps to strengthen communication across party structures and improves voter engagement strategies.

He also noted that the Obidient Movement views the development as part of a broader effort to present a disciplined and organized political platform. He maintained that such early decisions reflect seriousness in governance ambition rather than political experimentation.

Concluding the interview, Tanko insisted that the move positions Obi as a candidate focused on structure and planning, adding that it could shape public perception of readiness ahead of the 2027 elections.

Politics › Pray For Mahmoud Yakubu, His Nemesis Has Caught Up With Him by Basemann(op): 9:40am On May 30

Popular clergyman, Prophet Odumeje has called on Nigerians to pray for the INEC chairman who was on seat when president Tinubu was elected as president of Nigeria.

He stated that since elections are approaching, Nigerians should not only talk but also pray for Mahmood Yakubu because he was the one who sold Nigeria to the current president.

He said most Nigerians did not know this, but Nigeria was sold to president Tinubu by Mahmood, and it has even become an exam question for children in schools.

Odumeje did not say what kind of prayer we should make for the INEC chairman but I am sure we all know what he means by "pray for the man that sold Nigeria to Tinubu".

Fellow Nigerians, say a word of prayer for Mahmood Yakubu, the man who sold Nigeria to Tinubu

Politics › Bbnaija Winner And Entertainer Sends Strong Message To Peter Obi by Basemann(op): 5:31am On May 30

Reality TV star and entertainer Whitemoney has shared a humorous conversation with his grandmother regarding Peter Obi's safety concerns.

According to Whitemoney, his grandmother, a strong supporter of Peter Obi, forwarded him a video of Peter Obi around a huge crowd without visible security personnel, and asked why he was exposing himself like that in public. "Why is Mr Peter Obi exposing himself like this in public? Does he think he's the only humble person? He needs to protect himself; he's the only hope we have" she said.

Whitemoney stated that his grandmother appeared to believe he had a personal relationship with Peter Obi and could relay the message to him. Whitemoney's grandmother has always professed that Peter Obi is her only hope for Nigeria and is concerned about his security.

He further called on Peter Obi to tighten his security to avoid giving his grandmother high blood pressure. Whitemoney stressed that being humble doesn't mean Peter should not move with security; he must protect himself as many Nigerians see him as their hope for a better country.

Politics › Nigeria Needs Competence In Leadership, Not Online Popularity – Atiku To ADC by Basemann(op): 4:56pm On May 24

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged delegates of the African Democratic Congress to prioritise competence, experience and national acceptability over sentiment and social media popularity as the party prepares to elect its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.

Atiku, in a statement issued on Sunday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, warned that Nigeria’s current challenges require a tested leader capable of governing effectively from day one.

According to him, the country is grappling with economic hardship, insecurity, rising debt, institutional decline and widespread public frustration, making it imperative for the ADC to field its strongest candidate against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

This is not a season for political experimentation. Nigeria cannot afford a learning-on-the-job presidency,” Atiku stated.

Without mentioning any rival aspirant, the former vice president appeared to dismiss growing enthusiasm around some contenders, arguing that electoral victories are built on political structures, strategy, experience and governance capacity rather than online popularity.

Elections are not won on social media enthusiasm alone. Governance is not performance art. The presidency is not a platform for improvisation. The ADC must present to Nigerians its strongest, most credible, most prepared candidate — not merely its loudest,” he said.

Atiku described the decision before ADC delegates as a defining moment, stressing that the party must focus on selecting a candidate capable of addressing Nigeria’s complex challenges.

At a time when Nigeria is bleeding from every pore — crippled by economic hardship, insecurity, rising debt, institutional failure, and deepening hopelessness — the question before the ADC is simple: who has the capacity not merely to campaign, but to govern effectively from day one?” he asked.

He maintained that the next president must possess experience in governance, economic management, coalition building and international engagement.

The former vice president pointed to the economic reforms implemented during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, in which he served as vice president, citing the privatisation programme, fiscal reforms and debt relief efforts as examples of leadership and policy competence.

The economic reforms that helped reposition Nigeria, the privatisation drive that opened sectors, the fiscal discipline that contributed to debt relief, and the governance reforms of that era were not accidents. They were products of leadership, competence, and courage,” he said.

Atiku challenged delegates to carefully consider the implications of their choice.

“ADC delegates must ask themselves: do we want to make a statement, or do we want to make a president?” he queried.

He further argued that defeating an incumbent administration would require more than public excitement, insisting that the party must choose a candidate capable of building a broad national coalition across regions, religions and demographic groups.

The ADC must think beyond sentiment. It must think about victory. It must think about governance. It must think about Nigeria. This is a defining election. The party needs a candidate with national acceptability, political resilience, tested structures, and the capacity to unify disparate interests into one winning coalition,” he said.

Politics › Anxiety As Shettima Waits On Tinubu’s Running Mate Decision by Basemann(op): 4:49pm On May 24

President Bola Tinubu had no hurdle picking the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the 2027 presidential election.

Unlike in 2022, when he faced fierce but ultimately weak opposition within the party, this time it is a mere coronation.

In 2022, he had to sweat it out with the sitting vice president, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the former governor of Rivers State, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, and others.

However, times have changed, and the president is completely in charge of the body and soul of the APC.

In fact, nobody ordinarily should have summoned the courage to challenge or engage him in any form of contest, whether spiritual or physical, for the party’s ticket.

Now that the ticket in his hand, the next question is who will become his running mate: Will he keep his deputy, Vice President Kashim Shettima, or look for someone else?

There were pockets of opposition in 2022 when Tinubu picked Shettima as his running mate. The resistance was primarily based on the country’s fragile religious composition.

Tinubu is a Muslim and so is Shettima, and religious balancing was placed on the front burner, especially amid allegations of a plot to Islamize the country.

However, as the 2027 polls draw nearer and Tinubu has secured the party’s ticket, there are indications he will run the race with Shettima. Some political analysts have described Shettima as the most loyal deputy in nearly three decades of democratic government in Nigeria.

The vice president, the analysts say, understands and interprets the policies and programmes of the Tinubu administration without animosity or confrontation.

He appears to have studied his boss to know the best way to follow him.

Another factor working in Shettima’s favour is loyalty.

In politics, loyalty must be total; any suspicious move leads to friction.

Shettima appears to have avoided missteps and thus earned Tinubu’s confidence.

The issue of a same-faith ticket (Muslim/Muslim) appears to have faded, especially with the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, being a Christian and a pastor in the Redeemed Church.

The idea of Islamization cannot hold water given Mrs. Tinubu’s influence in government.

As a master political strategist, Tinubu may have concluded that it would amount to political suicide to drop Shettima at this critical time. Politics is a game of numbers, and the vice president is one of the heavyweight politicians from the northern flank.

He has his followers who are ready to lay down their lives for him.

Observers also point to the cordial relationship between Mrs Tinubu, and the wife of the vice president, Hajia Nana Shettima.

The First Lady founded the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), which has impacted women and girls positively.

Hajia Nana Shettima is the national vice-chairman of RHI and routinely represents the First Lady at RHI events and outreach programmes across states.

As it stands, despite intrigues and quiet political manoeuvring, it would be surprising to see Tinubu drop Shettima.

But in politics nothing is impossible.
