If Obi this.. If Obi that... Everything is based of if

How is Obi going to pull 25% in South West?
How exactly is Obi going to win North Central?
Which North is Obi going to collect chops from?

Many IPOB will sit in their little villages in S/E and be talking crap about other people's regions.

If wishes were horses beggers would ride

Stop displaying this level of arrogance and ignorance.

Do you think the SW is made up of only Yoruba speaking people? Even at that are all the Yoruba speaking people going to vote for BAT? Are the Yoruba Christians who are presently feeling cheated going to vote for him?

The same thing goes for the rest of the country. PDP faces resentment over Atiku and his interloping. Where have you placed Kwakanso and his popularity in the north? Or do you not know that Kwakanso would receive votes from northerners in the entire South?

Obi's base is the youths. His supporters keep growing daily. The youths pull the parents and elders. They convince them of the better future that an Obi presidency portends. Obi has supporters, irrespective of tribe and religion. He is a very potent danger in the election to all candidates. He was dismissed earlier, but you can all see now that Obi has the potential to win.

Unreasonable people like you equate the Easterners to IPOB. How very foolish? How would it sound to you tying BAT to agberos in Lagos only? Buhari was a well known supporter of Boko Haram; a very well known supporter of an entirely Muslim nation, yet he got votes across tribes and religion.

Note that power belongs to God.
Obi will win the election.

naijapips04:
It won't depending on how much Atiku's vote obi depletes.

The only reason Tinubu will win is because of Obi. If you want to defeat ApC, be united.

Tinubu WILL NOT GET THERE.
APC will not present a single candidate for the entire election. The courts just showed the route to that last week.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Only yoruba Muslim votes can't take tinubu anywhere.Atiku and Kwankwanso are splitting Buhari votes in the North.Apart from Sw, tinubu won't win any other region

With what we saw in Lagos LP rally last weekend, it is very certain that Tinubu's votes would be split with LP and PDP. How his supporters think that he has block votes waiting for him remains to be seen.

In all, power belongs to God.

Very nonsense APC supporting OP.
How is it that you used Delta as the subject? Why not use Lagos State that has borrow close to one trillion?
Your head like snail head.

designking:
There is basically no monumental project done by the Okowa administration yet, Delta State with her 'most allocated state status', 13% oil derivation and massive loans has nothing to show for it.

I sometimes wonder what Okowa do with these money? He is just stealing Delta State money and wasting it on his vice presidential pursuit.

Nothing to show for it?
Are you from Delta State?
You want to say that Okowa has been borrowing money to keep in his account for seven years?
Make una sofri talk na.

LeoDeKing:
Ipob pigs will now log into their social media accounts and insult the old woman down to her great grandparents for not supporting a con artiste parading GCE result as his highest educational qualification having getting dropped out of UNN for being an olodo.

Ask them why, they tell you because she supports Tinubu who they love to hate. According to ipob pigs, democracy is about buying into their foolish ideas, whether it is palatable to you or not.

Meanwhile, this old woman was paid 1k to get embarrassed by same miscreants wey no dey give shi shi.

Una eye go clear las las.

Always very abusive.

Never having anything reasonable to say. You think political leadership is like football contests. You deceive yourself following those who keep impoverishing you, while you hide your face waiting for pittances on election day and thereafter continue in misery.

Meanwhile emi ko kan has been evading signing of documents publicly. He's presently on "vacation", according to his blind followers.

We clearly remember that BAT is the originator of politics of bitterness. We will never forget how he called the PDP, Papa deceiving pickin. Or is it how you, his supporters, made mock coffins of GEJ? How will it feel if mock coffins of BAT are carried around, now that his terrible health status has become very well publicized?

Painfully for you all Obi has come to stay. If we could accept and vote for a PMB, who did not have University education, or follow a BAT with no knowledge of his growing up/source of wealth, then the rest of the candidates would be supported to send your old hardship inducing brigade back to retirement with their loot.

Emi lo kan too can go back to resettle with his battalion of agberos guiding him.

Dapson73:
She deserves award for sweeping away LABOURers bad luck.

God bless mama for us.

The crazy Obituaries will come out to say she was paid to sweep.

Awon osinwin eniyan.

And when you are replied abusively, you lament endlessly.

plaindealer:
Why are ipobs always bitter and mad like crazy bingo because Nigerians are exercise their constitutional rights?

The village bush people don't know the meaning of constitutional rights and democracy?

RIP to English.

"Nigerians are exercise their consitutional...". Call yourself a complete Muntula and bingo when your English is so poor and you mumuishly display it in that manner.

iHateFraudsters:
Imagine a zero brain calling another person a zero brain.

Did you even read what you wrote?

Typical of thief.nubu urchins.

What did he mean by "emi lo kan rarry banners"? Please ask the guy who rudely responded to you to explain his English, otherwise I will simply take it as one of those jagbajantis followers who have been.enjoying 7 years of suffering and sorrow.

GeneralOjukwu:


Peter Obi is a failure. He barely got his 3rd Class.

He is so useless he can't even live in Anambra he governed for 8 good years. He's in a State governed by a fellow contestant.

Peter Obi will NOT win all SE states. I can bet he wouldn't win more than 3.

If he wins even 3, he should celebrate it like a World Cup.

SE have their mouths firmly glued to the yansh of Atiku. Leave story.

Peter Obi is a failure abi? He barely got his 3rd class abi? No wahala.

At your present age, Peter Obi was long wealthy by very visible means. At your present age he was already the chairman of a bank. Would a failure ever become a state governor? Would a failure vie for the presidency of a nation? Maybe you have redifined the word.

A failure is to be at your age, looking at high networth people and labelling them failures when with your own educational qualification, you cannot find a position with them to feed yourself.

A failure is to be at your age, hiding behind social media and planning to vote for people who have bewitched you and put an entire country into uncommon hardship.

What about you? How can we assess you to prove that you are not presently a completely failed youth? Others are striving to get out of the grip of the wicked old ancestors, but you chose to continue with the life of hardship.

Help yourself o.

From emi lo kan to bikes. Una wan kuku take una hand kill the baba.

Is it not the same Tinubu who said that he did not believe in one Nigeria?

Now he shouts emi lo kan and "I WANT TO BE YOUR PRESIENT", not even being able to properly pronounce President.

OkCornel:
I stopped reading at the first paragraph. University of Ibadan was established in 1948. As a college with ties to University of London though, became a degree awarding institution in 1962.

UNN was established on 18th May, 1955.

Nonetheless, Nigeria had visionary leaders in the first republic. Though not perfect, but still they were visionaries with some degree of compassion for the masses. Unlike the evil vultures lurking around from the late 70s till date.

The coup of January 1966 was needless, and derailed the country from its path to unity and greatness.

The OP is a COMPLETE OLODO

Remove the log in your eye before removing the spec in another person’s.

The one in your country is worse. The one you are planning to vote for in 2023 currently faces the same. American remains hundreds of thousands of miles ahead of your country on all indices.

plaindealer:
Jagaban just broke the internet with an exercise video and the whole internet is crashing, ipobs are disillusioned, they are no longer talking about their ipob agitation rally yesterday, it's now Asiwaju all over the place.

See how Jagaban, the greatest political strategist stole Pandora's thunder and how he changed the narrative in less than 24 hours.

Pandorians don forget about rally, na Tinubu den dey talk about today.

God Bless Asiwaju of the Inuverse.

See your life? So you do not even know when people mock you?

Na so APC arrange your life keep for you reach? Wahala dey o.

If nature has taken its course in terms of aging with the man, what can he do about it? No physical strength is no physical strength and it is not his fault. Defending the indefensible on your part makes no sense.

pleasureosondu:
Seems you're a fan of Messi. If that's true, this is probably one of the topics we can agree. Football unites, Politics divides.

That’s the area I can also agree with the jagbajantis fellow for the first time ever.

Keyamo Warns APC.
Akeredolu verdict: Danger ahead, Keyamo warns APC

By The Nation On Jul 29, 2021

By Bunmi Ogunmodede, News Editor

Wednesday’s Supreme Court judgment, which ratified the victory of Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, has thrown up a major controversy over the legitimacy of Governor Mai Mala Buni as the All Progressives Congress (APC) national caretaker chairman.

Yellow Page mobile
The Yobe governor was appointed after the removal of elected Chairman Adams Oshiomhole on June 16, last year for an initial six month period, which has been renewed indefinitely.

Three justices of the Supreme Court – Justice Mary Peter-Odili, Justice Ejembi Eko and Justice Muhammed Saulawa, endorsed a minority judgment.

The dissenting judgment was read by Justice Peter-Odili: “I do not agree with the majority judgment,”she said, noting that the APC, by Article 17(4) of its constitution has provided for how its affairs should be managed and what offices its memebrs could occupy at a time.

Justice Peter-Odili added: “This Article draws strength from Section 183 of the 1999 Constitution. Therefore, when the second respondent (APC) put up a person not qualified to author its nomination by virtue of the provision of Article 1z(4) of its constitution and Section183 of the 1999 Constitution to do so, that document has no validity, and thereby void.

Minister of State for Labour and Employment Festus Keyamo (SAN) in a statement last night on the minority judgment, said it had grave implication for the ruling party.

He said the party risked being destroyed “from top to bottom” by the judiciary, if it ignored what the Justices said.

“We cannot gamble with this delicate issue. The time to act is now,” he added.

The senior advocate, who said he was offering his “professional bit to the party,” explained that: “The little technical point that saved Governor Akeredolu was that Jegede failed to join Mai Mala Buni in the suit.”

He added: “Jegede was challenging the competence of Buni as a sitting governor to run the affairs of the APC as chairman of the caretaker committee. He contends that this is against Section 183 of the 1999 Constitution, which states that a sitting governor shall not, during the period when he holds office, hold any other executive office or paid employment in any capacity whatsoever. In other words, had Buni been joined in the suit, the story may have been different today as we would have lost Ondo State to the PDP.”

He then warned: “Any other person affected by the actions of the Buni-led Committee will henceforth, not fail to join him in any subsequent case in court. These include any subsequent election matter in any part of this country and all the APC congresses that are about to hold. The Supreme Court has just weaponised all those that would be aggrieved by the APC Congresses to proceed to court to challenge the competence of the Buni-led CECPC to organise the Congresses and national convention.”

Keyamo said the APC should terminate the plans to hold its ward congresses on Saturday.

In recommending what to do, he advocated the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the APC should meet urgently and reconstitute the caretaker committee to exclude those holding executive positions.

He said since “we cannot vouch for the legality of any NEC meeting called by Buni now,” the safest is to get two-thirds of NEC members to sign an invitation to summon a NEC meeting”.

The alternative, according to him, is for the Board of Trustees, which includes the President, to be activated to organize a national convention in line with Article 13 of the APC Constitution.”

A former national secretary of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Kayode Ajulo, said: “The provision of Section 183 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) is unambiguous to the effect that “The Governor shall not, during the period when he holds office, hold any other executive office or paid employment in any capacity whatsoever.”

“As a former National Secretary of Labour Party, I am quite aware and it is unassailable that the national chairman and the national secretary are the alter egos of a political party chartered with the day-to-day running of the party.

“It is, therefore, incontrovertible that the continuous stay of the governor as Chief Executive Officer of the All Progressives Congress runs contrary to the provision of the Constitution and as such may be an albatross on the party, as all he had done before would be null and void, including the nomination of candidates within the period of his so-called leadership of the party.

“It is apposite to assuage and hint the leadership of the party by reminding same of the decision of Lord Denning of over five decades in the case MACFOY v. UAC LIMITED (1961) 3 ALL E.R where the learned jurist held that: “If an act is void, then it is in law a nullity. It is not only bad, but incurably bad. There is no need for an order of the court to set it aside.”

“Whichever way this issue is being tilted, permitting a governor of a State to hold another executive office may create cravings in some governors to become the state chairman of their political parties as being recently tinkered by some of them.”

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) described the split decision of the Supreme Court as a verdict that Buni cannot continue to lead the APC as Caretaker Committee Chairman.

The PDP spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, said it is an aberration for Buni to serve as Yobe State governor and chairman of the APC at the same time.

Ologbondiyan said: “That is totally an aberration of the doctrine and dictates as established in the APC Constitution as well as the 1999 Constitution as amended.

“We insist that the process that led to the emergence of Governor Akeredolu was, and remains a violation of the APC Constitution as well as the 1999 Constitution.

“Section 183 of the 1999 Constitution states that no governor should hold any other position in any capacity, apart from the office of the governor. As you know, this was the major ground upon which we went to the Supreme Court”.

Nonsense

OsunOriginal:
Is there light there is we speak? You haven't addressed that.

Stop disgracing yourself.

Is there light in Iragbiji as we speak? Is Iragbiji mot the hometown of BAT?

If not for your brazen display of ignorance, how would you ever know that it is the duty of the APC led Federal government to provide electricity nationwide, including Obi’s town. What is the business of Peter Obi with electricity?

Once again, if you know where Bourdillon is located, you can go and find out if there is light “as we speak”.

How many hours a day does BAT experience light in Bourdillon? What about his house in Abuja?

Ok, what about his Iragbiji, his community? He does not even want to acknowledge Iragbiji. Did he not promise us better light in 2015? How far? Now it has become rocket science.

OP if you are not a well calculated olodo, you’ll know that it is the duty of the APC led federal government to provide electricity in Obi’s town.

You like March from Okene to Sambisa. Just read the below and see that your candidate will not be the president:

Wednesday’s Supreme Court judgment, which ratified the victory of Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, has thrown up a major controversy over the legitimacy of Governor Mai Mala Buni as the All Progressives Congress (APC) national caretaker chairman.

The Yobe governor was appointed after the removal of elected Chairman Adams Oshiomhole on June 16, last year for an initial six month period, which has been renewed indefinitely.

Three justices of the Supreme Court – Justice Mary Peter-Odili, Justice Ejembi Eko and Justice Muhammed Saulawa, endorsed a minority judgment.

The dissenting judgment was read by Justice Peter-Odili: “I do not agree with the majority judgment,”she said, noting that the APC, by Article 17(4) of its constitution has provided for how its affairs should be managed and what offices its memebrs could occupy at a time.

Justice Peter-Odili added: “This Article draws strength from Section 183 of the 1999 Constitution. Therefore, when the second respondent (APC) put up a person not qualified to author its nomination by virtue of the provision of Article 1z(4) of its constitution and Section183 of the 1999 Constitution to do so, that document has no validity, and thereby void.

Minister of State for Labour and Employment Festus Keyamo (SAN) in a statement last night on the minority judgment, said it had grave implication for the ruling party.

He said the party risked being destroyed “from top to bottom” by the judiciary, if it ignored what the Justices said.

“We cannot gamble with this delicate issue. The time to act is now,” he added.

The senior advocate, who said he was offering his “professional bit to the party,” explained that: “The little technical point that saved Governor Akeredolu was that Jegede failed to join Mai Mala Buni in the suit.”

He added: “Jegede was challenging the competence of Buni as a sitting governor to run the affairs of the APC as chairman of the caretaker committee. He contends that this is against Section 183 of the 1999 Constitution, which states that a sitting governor shall not, during the period when he holds office, hold any other executive office or paid employment in any capacity whatsoever. In other words, had Buni been joined in the suit, the story may have been different today as we would have lost Ondo State to the PDP.”

He then warned: “Any other person affected by the actions of the Buni-led Committee will henceforth, not fail to join him in any subsequent case in court. These include any subsequent election matter in any part of this country and all the APC congresses that are about to hold. The Supreme Court has just weaponised all those that would be aggrieved by the APC Congresses to proceed to court to challenge the competence of the Buni-led CECPC to organise the Congresses and national convention.”

Keyamo said the APC should terminate the plans to hold its ward congresses on Saturday.

In recommending what to do, he advocated the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the APC should meet urgently and reconstitute the caretaker committee to exclude those holding executive positions.

He said since “we cannot vouch for the legality of any NEC meeting called by Buni now,” the safest is to get two-thirds of NEC members to sign an invitation to summon a NEC meeting”.

The alternative, according to him, is for the Board of Trustees, which includes the President, to be activated to organize a national convention in line with Article 13 of the APC Constitution.”

A former national secretary of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Kayode Ajulo, said: “The provision of Section 183 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) is unambiguous to the effect that “The Governor shall not, during the period when he holds office, hold any other executive office or paid employment in any capacity whatsoever.”

“As a former National Secretary of Labour Party, I am quite aware and it is unassailable that the national chairman and the national secretary are the alter egos of a political party chartered with the day-to-day running of the party.

“It is, therefore, incontrovertible that the continuous stay of the governor as Chief Executive Officer of the All Progressives Congress runs contrary to the provision of the Constitution and as such may be an albatross on the party, as all he had done before would be null and void, including the nomination of candidates within the period of his so-called leadership of the party.

“It is apposite to assuage and hint the leadership of the party by reminding same of the decision of Lord Denning of over five decades in the case MACFOY v. UAC LIMITED (1961) 3 ALL E.R where the learned jurist held that: “If an act is void, then it is in law a nullity. It is not only bad, but incurably bad. There is no need for an order of the court to set it aside.”

“Whichever way this issue is being tilted, permitting a governor of a State to hold another executive office may create cravings in some governors to become the state chairman of their political parties as being recently tinkered by some of them.”

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) described the split decision of the Supreme Court as a verdict that Buni cannot continue to lead the APC as Caretaker Committee Chairman.

The PDP spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, said it is an aberration for Buni to serve as Yobe State governor and chairman of the APC at the same time.

Ologbondiyan said: “That is totally an aberration of the doctrine and dictates as established in the APC Constitution as well as the 1999 Constitution as amended.

“We insist that the process that led to the emergence of Governor Akeredolu was, and remains a violation of the APC Constitution as well as the 1999 Constitution.

“Section 183 of the 1999 Constitution states that no governor should hold any other position in any capacity, apart from the office of the governor. As you know, this was the major ground upon which we went to the Supreme Court”.

Bros, emotions don't win elections.

But emotions brought APC to power in 2015, or have you forgotten?

Great reward for her OBIdience.

That’s an example of what Obi brings with him…education.

What a fool.

He could not advance his football career and then chose to advance his drug trafficking career. Mumu.

NigeriaIsGreat:
Try get small shame Nwanne

I get shame na. That’s why I have chosen not to vote for the wrong candidate.

Abeg bros na you go get small shame. Owu no dey tire you?

NigeriaIsGreat:
majority of Obidients noise maker don't have PVC

My neighbours all joined the rally in Lagos with their friends and they don't have PVC

You gan gan, do you have any? Are you in the pockets of your neighbours and their friends? Do you not know that most people would protect their PVCs from emi lo kans like you?

candidtalk:
Lol. Winners know how hard it is to attain success in Nigeria because they recognise that our people and 'terrain' are very difficult.

They will therefore naturally identify with and admire Tinubu who is the most successful politician in the history of Nigeria since our current democracy began in 1999.

This is because succeeding in Nigerian politics is even more difficult than succeeding in any other facet of Nigerian life.

There are amany donating car, private jet, cash etal to Tinubu's campaign because they want his transformational magic they know will improve Nigeria. If you wish to believe otherwise then that is your own wahala.

If you wish to continue living in bewitchment by PMB/BAT/APC, that is your wahala.
