Having apologized to Nigerians after admitting that he has failed woefully, Nigerians hereby rejects Tinubu's apology and demands that he resignes with immediate effect. He is the biggest calamity to have ever befallen Nigeria.

He should resign, so Obi the gbajue can be sworn in, right?

Northern leaders are overrated. Kano Emirates dhould be too big of an institution for a Governor who has just 8 years of office to toy with.

Welfed:
Obi 2-0 Tinupoopoo

I know you didn't bother to read the purported interview, before rushing to write rubbish in the comments section. Animofia!

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, said a merger between the PDP and Labour Party is possible.

Atiku added that members of the party would decide his fate in the 2027 general elections.

In a recent interview with BBC Hausa Service, Atiku said it was too soon to determine if he would run for the presidency in the upcoming elections.

The former Vice President mentioned that his recent meeting with Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi might indicate a possible alliance leading up to the 2027 general elections.

Responding to questions about the meeting with Obi, Atiku said, “It’s just a normal friendly meeting that we often have, particularly among us in the opposition parties. Such meetings are healthy for Nigeria’s democracy and in the country’s interest.”

On whether this will bring about a merger, he said, “Yes, it’s very much possible. We can merge to achieve a common goal. So, it’s possible, and nothing can stop it if we wish to achieve that.”

The former Vice President, who denied that the choice of presidential candidate might frustrate the merger discussion, said, “That’s not true. That challenge will not arise. I can tell you that the choice of who will fly the flag of the party won’t be an issue.”

Atiku stated that if in 2027 the party determines that it is the South-East’s turn and selects Peter Obi, he will readily offer his support.

He stated ” I have said repeatedly and I even said it before the 2023 general elections that if PDP decides to zone the presidential ticket to the South or South-East specifically, I won’t contest it. As long as it’s the decision of the party, I will abide by it. But I contested the 2023 presidential ticket because it was thrown open to all members of the party.

"If the party decides that it’s the turn of the South-East and Peter Obi is chosen, I won’t hesitate to support him.”

On why he’s still in active politics, Atiku said, “Yes, we can’t keep quiet and watch things go wrong. People are suffering and we are committed to making Nigeria a better place.

"It means you are not tired of politics of Nigeria? Not at all. I am still in active politics in Nigeria, at least, as long as God permits.

“My age doesn’t stop the young ones from testing their fate. Everybody, irrespective of age, is allowed to aspire to be anybody in the society, politically or otherwise.”

Regarding his 2027 Presidential ambition, the former Vice President said “That would depend on the decision of my party. I can’t make any categorical statement on that. It’s the duty of the party to decide on the way to go in the next election.
"Until that time comes. Let’s just wait and see how it will turn out.

“It must not be interpreted like that. I must not be eyeing elections to have meetings with political friends and associates. Currently, we are practising democracy in this country which we fought for with our blood.”

Last week, Labour Party’s presidential candidate Peter Obi held a private meeting with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and several PDP leaders in Abuja.

Obi also met separately with former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido and former Senate President Bukola Saraki, sparking speculation about a possible coalition for the 2027 general elections.

Obi was a PDP member until 2022 when he left to pursue his presidential ambitions with the Labour Party.

He finished third behind Atiku in the February 23 presidential election, which was won by Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress.

Atiku blamed Obi’s departure from the PDP for his loss to Tinubu.

Analysts argued that Atiku’s 6,984,520 votes combined with Obi’s 6,101,533 votes could have secured a win against Tinubu, who received 8,794,726 votes.

Monday’s meeting marked the first public interaction between Obi and Atiku since the election.

Social media and online platforms were flooded with viral photos of Obi’s meetings with the three PDP figures on Monday.

In 2019, Atiku and Obi ran together on the PDP ticket but were defeated by former President Muhammadu Buhari of the APC.

However, due to internal conflicts, Obi, who was Atiku’s running mate in 2019, left the PDP and ran as the Labour Party’s candidate in the 2023 presidential election.

They will merge and make which politician their flag bearer? These people are real gbajue, just looking for the first to fall mungu, among themselves

Moseshasss:
So WIKE told you to Decamp and you did and he didn't decamp with you.......

Next time, read and understand, before you comment, in order not to disgrace your ancestors, especially those of them that sent you to school.

But they renounced their royalty, so in what capacity are they in Nigeria?

Fubara listened to the people who can't help him.

Foolish people, mixing poverty with dumbness

At first, l wanted to blame NLC for such a big amount (615k or so) but when I thought about how much senators, reps members, governors, ministers, etc collect per month, l started supporting Labour.

The Nigerian Constitution is very faulty. It should be reviewed or better still be suspended for a referendum to take place where Nigerians would discuss afresh to come with a new Constitution, not this one given to us by our former colonial masters that favors only the politicians or the rich.
.
Something must change for good in Nigeria.
Governors must pay.

Nigeria is not a real country, something unknown is holding us together, hence we see so much atrocities and despicable acts being perpetrated everyday. Also the level of unpatriotism of Citizens is alarming, we don't love each other, let alone loving the country.

Only God knows why he created Nigeria. A Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, going to the Police, to facilitate the process of granting bail to a known criminal, without charges.

God, why do we have men of zero integrity like Dele Momodu in the limelight of Nigeria, whose opinions some undiscerning Nigerians may count on to form their understanding of the polity.
This is a calculated attempt at undermining the EFCC, by impeding cause of justice. Dele, I won't curse or insult you, but God will judge you and your likes, who are hellbent at ensuring that Nigeria remain in dark age.

I hate lawyers like Mike Ozekhome. The essence of this epistle is that he wants to be Yahaya Bellos solicitor, so he can get his own share of the loots. Criminal Lawyer!

Impressive, moreso that it's coming from Kwara.

Obasanjo established EFCC basically for corrupt Lawyers and compromised Judges.

She should be older, but still fair to herself. If she were to be a GenZ, she will only be 30 years old, because GenZ celebrate 23rd birthday 5 times and 25th 3 times.

How can a former Governor quit PDP and join APC, and not LP, does he not know that the North has concluded plan to dump Tinubu in 2027, join forces with the Igbos and make Peter Obi president? Or has he not heard that Atiku, El Rufai, Kwankwanzo and Yahaya Bello are all jostling to be Obi's Vice President in 2027? He should better join LP, before it's too late

I would have taken time to reply you, but I'm getting set for church. So take my snippets.
You mean Atiku, El Rufai, Kwankwanzo, Obi and Yahaya Bello will will team up come together to unseat President Tinubu and make who among them the President, when they succeed? Oh! You said Obi, Atiku or Kwankwanzo will be his vice and El Rufai, his Chief of Staff or Secretary to FGN.
If only you have taken time to study the rise of Asiwaju, you won't bother yourself conjuring or permutating rubbish against him. He can barely be defeated, he has the magic wang to achieve victory. He was an underdog before APC Presidential primary, how he manage to win should be your source of worry.
No Nigerian president should fail to get a 2nd term in office, except a weakling or an Igboman, Asiwaju won't only get a 2nd term, he will install his successor, from the North.

yarimo:
Mr EFCC chairman please resign immediately, it's clear you don't know anything about the court and your job . Yahaya Bello should file defamation against the chairman

Calm down and learn, don't meddle in things that are beyond your reasoning or academic capabilities

Yahaya Bello got things too easy for him in politics, so he will think that's how simple life is. He became Governor on a platter of gold,

Poor journalism, gossip coming from vanguard

socialmediaman:
With the level of incompetence we have seen so far, we need to go back and investigate what happened to Lagos between 1999 - 2007.

I have a feeling that the Lagos we see today is a shadow of what it could’ve been today had it been someone else governed it then

Leave Lagos and talk about your State, or are you stateless?

surgical:
It is the insentivity ,non challant and arrogance in failure for me
Their supporters will come out without shame and be yarning dust
While they have failed using all indeces and surprisingly surpassing buhari failure, whom every body had thought would the unbeaten record but alas their most touted jagaban is now the worst failure, mainly because of pride and arrogance, he just act on impulse without proper reflection, I can do it because I can
Remove lies and propaganda, they are left with nothing

You mean all these are happening to you, all at once? Your being alive must be a miracle, God will see you through.

franchasofficia:
Tinubu got the whole accolade of forming APC simply because he brought billions of Lagos state treasury to fund their propaganda against Goodluck's government using Saharareporters and other mercenaries.



Little did Nigerians know that it was Dr Ogbonnaya Onu that brought the money used to register APC as a party with INEC.

Another day to cry....Nnamdi Azikwe (an Igbo man) formed NCNC, but it was hijacked by Herbert Marculey, (a Yoruba man), Alex Ekwueme, another igbo man founded PDP in his bedroom, it was also taken from him by Obasanjo, another Yoruba son, and recently, Ogbonaya Onu formed and paid for the registration of APC, but the credit was given to Akanbi, Asiwaju Jagaban!
Why do we always hold una in your jugular, we wan strangle una?

The only crime of Emefiele is because he is Igbo....

You are very stuuupeeed for that statement.

This substandard projects is difficult for IPOBidients to defend oo

See as then they open threads up and down to divert attention

We are still on the matter

The Northerners have warned him to stop all the substandard projects now otherwise they stone him to death 😁😁🤣🤣😁😁😁

Obituary is a useless fraudster

Why calling the rubbish he erected in people's backyards "substandard" those things are zero standards. They should dismantle them ASAP!
What an insult to their sensitivity.

I pray, I shall never be unfortunate, to find myself in a place like this. Normal human being won't emerge from this experience.

City have the easiest draw (at least both on paper and current form) and they have the best chance. However, it won't be fair, if Arsenal fail to win it, especially after coming this far.

Ozommadu:
If wishes were horses🥱

Can you boast of 500k in your account and you're here on nairaland collecting 30k monthly stipend to push propaganda for Apc?? Dey play

But why do you guys always have this irritating and annoying thinking that everyone is poor, that you are the only wealthy people?

This is what my mother will call "ìrìn iregbe" or èregele". In all, it is pure stunts.

Penguin2:
E dey pain you?

I thought you said Datti has abandoned Peter Obi?

No, but according to you, it's Peter Obi that's abandoning Datti, to replace him eith El Rufai. Una just dey uselessly desperate in search of power...
