Very possible 4 dz elongation southern rule my brother n nothing go happen...infact if Peter obi is wise den he should join Apc n become concensus candidate by 2031 with tinubus full support

Exactly! And the north must not complain cos when their brothers come out every 4 years to contest they are always quiet.

AMINDA:
When did Yorubas become unity beggars? If you want to beg the Southeast for support, do so properly and tell Tinubu to make his government inclusive.

First off i am not yoruba, assumptions is the least form of intelligence, even though I grew up in the great city of Ibadan.

Secondly, you are not in a position to determine southern unity and some of us will not sit by and watch you Northerners or atiku fans try and bully others just because of one man's ambition he has done irreparable damage to the polity already.

AMINDA:
What is the incentive for the North, that's currently VP, to support Obi to remove another Southerner from power that has already done four years? If Tinubu is doing a fantastic job as a Southerner, then he deserves a second term. Let him continue. The Southeast should actually be more desperate to get Tinubu out of power. In 2015, Tinubu had to travel from Lagos to Daura to convince Buhari out of retirement to come get his fellow Southerner out of power. Even then, he didn't ask for the ticket. He was willing to deputise Buhari. That's how he moved from opposition to incumbent. Clinical, strategic, long-term vision. When he said "Emi Lokan" in 2023, the North understood and returned the favour. Northerners always pay their debts, but nothing goes for nothing. Any region playing politics with emotions is already set to lose. Nigeria was a nation of diverse regions amalgamated into one. The only question that matters when you play national politics is "What's in it for my region?" And leverage is the only currency that players transact in. Not pity, not emotions, not insults and certainly not threats. Only leverage.

Oga stop threatening the south east ,you Northerners have held power longest in this federation yet your region is the most backward in all data and stats.

Every 4 years s northerner must rise up to contest ticket ,no respect for other regions .
The pdp had a gentleman agreement of zoning as its policy , atiku came and scattered it.

You guys will not taste power till 2031 and if you vex us even more in the south we will elongate southern rule beyond 2031.

Omowale2023:
I totally disagree with your article. Why should I participate in what I don't believe in?
Obi left PDP in 2023 because they wanted to dollarize the primaries, you all called him a coward, ADC wants to do the same, and you expect him to do what? Stay? And fight? How?
It's obvious Obi worked for every goddamn dollar he is spending, and it's obvious Atiku didn't, because if he did, he won't be wasting money anyhow, claiming he's a more presidential candidate than the others, what's the benefits of spending the dollars since 1993? Nothing? With Obi, Atiku had his highest number of votes at 11 million in 2019, but in 2023, with PDP Structures and governors he had only 6.9 million votes, so how many votes do you expect Atiku to have in 2027, Without PDP structures and Obi? You guess is as good as mine, less than 3 million, Knowing fully well it's time for the south?
We obidients will vote for Obi and if obi is not on the ballot, we vote for Tinubu, it's the time for the south and it should remain so. In 2027, we all shall learn politics together.

Did they force obi to join adc?, it's like a student who says he is born again but went to hdng out with other students in a club and is now complaining that the club is not playing gospel songs ?

Is it that you Obidients don't do critical thinking?

Nobody forced you guys to join structure of criminality.

Clarification on My Political Position

We have noted recent media reports and discussions suggesting a possible realignment within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to the current challenges facing the party.

In light of the misleading narratives in the public domain, I wish to state categorically that no final decision has been taken regarding my political future or that of my political associates.

The recent Supreme Court judgment, while affirming the legitimacy of the David Mark-led National Working Committee (NWC), also remitted the matter back to the High Court. This has left the party in a precarious position.

In addition, the Federal High Court has recently ruled to delegitimise the party’s recent convention. The Attorney General of the Federation has also strangely applied to a Federal High Court to deregister the ADC.

We left the NNPP due to externally influenced legal problems that made our stay perilous. The ADC has now been also forced into this difficulty.

Consequently, like other major stakeholders, we have commenced wide-ranging consultations — including with leaders from the NDC, PRP and others to explore the best options for protecting our democratic interests. We shall announce our decision in the soonest possible time.

On the issue of presidential candidacy, I wish to recall my consistent record as a committed democrat. In the 2014 APC presidential primary, I came second to President Muhammadu Buhari (whom I fully supported to victory), with Atiku Abubakar third, Rochas Okorocha fourth, and the late Sam Nda-Isaiah fifth. Similarly, in 2019, I contested the PDP presidential ticket and immediately supported the winner, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, serving as the campaign’s coordinator in the North. I have always placed national interest and party unity above personal ambition.

Furthermore, the ADC is yet to zone its presidential ticket or take any decision on a candidate. I have therefore neither declared any intention to run for president nor endorsed any aspirant. All speculations to the contrary are premature and unfounded.

My absence from the two recent ADC stakeholders’ meetings was due to unavoidable personal commitments. I promptly communicated my apologies to the party leadership.

We shall continue to engage constructively at all levels. Any definitive position on our political direction will be communicated formally through official channels at the appropriate time.

Obidients in the mud , by this time next week they will begin to insult him.

chicfarmer:
They got relegated again. Sanctioned points deduction did not help matters either.

Brendan Rodgers destroyed Leicester, he almost did same to celtic they quickly fired him but they haven't been the same ,the guy is one of the most useless managers in football but is always lucky to get good jobs very annoying.

Reality is dawning , meanwhile the NL Obidients and adc fans like aminda are still in delusion.

Lithiumite:
The congressman noh get name? Atiku that has corruption indictment on his neck wan go US,dem noh born am well,if not for saraki in 19 that covered him and inclueded him as part of his entourage as SP.....dem for hol atiku that year.

Didn't you see in the article atiku stylishly dodged the invite , the spin doctor of the article now tried to use tinubu as scapegoat to deviate .

Basic123:
Tinubu Minister of Information is the worst in history

The guy is a northerner, northerner are not very vocal or creative, they need to give that office to a southerner or north central person.

AMINDA:
Lagos again. Nothing for the other South? This "turn of the South" is looking skewed o. Anyways, the other part of the South claims they are not desperate for the presidency and are succeeding without being president but their unborn children will not be exempted from paying these loans for projects that are sited in Lagos.

These are a list of ongoing projects in the south / niger Delta

Major Infrastructure Projects Road and Bridges
1,East-West Road (Section 15, Eleme-Onne Axis): A critical 15km stretch being reconstructed with reinforced concrete. The Onne Flyover is scheduled for completion this month, May 2026, while the full first phase is expected by August 2026.

2. Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway (Phase 1):
This 700km project began in early 2024. Phase 1 (Lagos-Lekki section) is underway, with the highway eventually spanning the entire Niger Delta coastline.

3. Bodo-Bonny Road: Includes 13 bridges linking the mainland to Bonny Island. The project cost was revised to ₦280 billion with a targeted completion of September 2025 (now in final stages or recently completed).

Rareoil:
You people like stealing what does not belong to you.

The gas pipeline started in 2016, with contract awarded in 2012.


Contract awarded by Jonathan, began construction by Buhari.

This administration was just there when it crossed the hurdle.

So buhari is no longer Apc ? This project was started by apc and will be completed by apc .

Imagine saying they awarded contract in 2012 and yet gej and pdp did not mobilise contractor for good 3 years before he left office , you guys assume everyone is dull like you on this forum.

HORLADY:
The hostel is bad but what of the dirtiness.
Students should endeavor to do better. This attitude of "Na Government Property" is one of the reasons our national life is in shambles.

I was about to say same thing , look at inside that room, was it government that lived inside with you ?Nigerians are lawless .

udemzyudex:
Stop drinking too much burukutu.

Sam amadi is an Obidient, check his post on twitter about this judgment or you will claim he has agbado in his pocket?

LagosOrigin:
The Supreme Court recognized the David mark leadership by today's ruling. Stop twisting the judgement you tinubu supporter.

Every party has internal mis-understanding and we at the ADC will settle ours within ourselves.

Lies, lies ,lies , david mark wasn't recognised.

Egghead without a track record in energy and electricity generation. Issokay!

Did you read the article? It was clearly stated he has experience in the Nigerian energy sector.

Are you not a female, why are you eagerly pushing this news about a fellow female ? Shouldn't you be covering her unclothedness in public? SMH

MartinCorridon:
Someone who faced Buhari boldly and dared him.

Someone who faced an Ex President (OBJ) + current President (Buhari) + Vice President+ Senate President+ Party Chairman+ CBN Governor COMBINED and beat them all.

Is a man to be feared. The Northerners were actually afraid of him knowing he couldn't be controlled.

The north by themselves gave him a title Jagaban the chief commander and he has lived up to that title from day 1, and one online activist is busy pontificating that Tinubu fears the north , why didn't the north give Atiku presidency in 2023 ? January is not far a lot of folks both politicians and online activists will be permanently retired.

chicfarmer:
All speculation. There is absolutely no indication that they held talks to sign osimhen.

However, if we can pull it off I'll be over the moon 🌝🌝

Where are the nairaland Ai specialists? Abeg make pictures of Osimhen in Arsenal jersey and post here immediately make Chelsea fans get heart attack sharp sharp

Here you go ...

The man with 6m votes is begging the man with 1 vote to support him , isn't God a wonderful God !

Obi will see signs and wonders before may 30th 2026

illicit:
There are not many south Africans living in Tanzania or Nigeria...


i have worked with/for Arabs, Americans and Europeans in this same Nigeria ( Someone will think I am lying)

How come i have never seen one being beaten

Nigerians are kind of civilised than even Americans

Nigeria is the most hospitable African country followed by Ghana and Rwanda, Ethiopians are very vicious once they know you are an African and not a tourist.

If our leaders can fix security and focus on the tourism and hospitality sector properly , detty December will become detty 365 days for Nigeria.

PlasmaTV:
Don't give yourself HBP over Obi.

Kindly stfu!

Obi is nowhere to be found ,other opposition leaders gathered to deliberate obi is missing , he was busy shining teeth in lagos and abj airport yesterday.

I have said it before obi is not a serious politician, he avoids serious issues and loves playing to the gallery.

socialmediaman:
Tinubu will have a hard time explaining to Nigerians why he pushed them to extreme hardship in the name of reforms, and things keep getting worse and worse

Hard time how ? Is it so difficult to understand that subsidy is gone under this administration and so the price will regulate itself ?

Anambra Police Rescue Kidnapped Electrician, Arrest 3 Suspects, Recover ₦469,000 Ransom Paid Through Bet Account

Since this guy became IG the NPF have become very proactive.

They have been in the news for arrests and successful rescues lately .

The amusing thing is Nigerian banks will still not learn their lesson, they will still forward loans to dubious so called big man, the cycle keeps repeating itself .

I have said it several times that 90 percent of the so called big men in the society used fraud to become successful that's why its difficult to eradicate corruption from nigeria cos the foundation of the country from north east south and west is built on corruption.

Parachoko:
Nigeria was borrowing to pay for subsidy before Asiwaju became the President

Under Jonathan, we were borrowing to pay Salaries, borrowing to pay for subsidy, Pension, and also borrowing to build projects

Under Buhari, we were borrowing to pay subsidy on fuel, and also borrowing to pay salaries, pensions and also borrowing to build projects


Under Asiwaju, we're not borrowing to pay pensions or salaries, we're not borrowing to pay for subsidy, we're only borrowing to spend on Capital Projects.

I expect Sanusi to know there's no problem borrowing to build capital projects

Sanusi knows but wants to play to the gallery same way he did under gej and got fired when he claimed 20b dollars was missing.

Eraddray:
This one is just playing on the fence.. PO should knw he cannot be trusted

Does Peter obi look to you like a serious politician?

stuffs2002:
Pastor Esther Neanadi-Usman will not take Peter Obi's antics under her watch

Someone brought you into a party , then left you in that party to tackle the challenges and moved on while you stayed and put in effort to make things work and you expect me to take Obi seriously as a leader with problem solving skills?
