EXTRA: ‘Don’t bully us’ — NDC support group asks Obidients to be cordial ahead of Obi’s planned defection

A support group of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has implored Obidients, supporters of Peter Obi, 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, to be “cordial and friendly” amid his planned defection.

In an X post on Sunday, the group appealed for mutual respect, saying it had been on the political platform before the anticipated influx of new supporters.

"He who comes to equity must come with clean hands" a group of people that wants ro lead a country should be meticulous enough to ensure they do the right things when organising a political party........if obi and his co charlatans didn't attempt to hijack a political party and trample upon the rights of the founding members,nobody will see any loophole to exploit.

Yes oooo

Bad example of the product they want to sell.

Why? Dem wrap the tree with barbed wire?

The crooks are on both sides of the divide.... old crooks that want to come back or thenew crooks on the block.. pick your choice....

Lanruze:
There is a playbook which is more Machiavellian that PO is playing and it's indeed interesting.

Obi is just going through the motions.... him body no dey dia.... He is scared to throw in the towel. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.... my opinion though.

Have those political parties meet the minimum threshold in terms of electoral performance as required by Section 225A of the 1999 Constitution (as amended)? That is the discussion we should be having and not talking about who is supplying your weed.

Smoking weed or not is irrelevant to this discussion. The constitution is a guide for the survival of our democracy. If we want to continue as a democracy, we must always abide by the provisions of the constitution. So, those parties must prove they have met the requirement or they will get deregistered. By the way, this is not the first time political parties will be deregistered in Nigeria. It has been done before and it will still be done as the need arises.

I agree, the defaulting parties / politicians are deliberately progressing. It is dishonest to so and continue to goad innocent citizens in the wrong direction. Lets do whatbisvtightvstvsll times.

I did not say Obi is greater than Atiku politically.
That is not the context.


No be only galaxy na space.


No Nigerian ded or alive today as we speak that would defeat Peter Obi in a free and fair election .

Take that.

Biko... how do we do that.... ? Kindly supply a hand out.... we want to give it to INEC.... or you go bring your own INEC? Bring voters too

God bless

Ask his supporters to post one video where Peter Obi was asked about anything related to governance and he responded coherently

You know he is on a higher plain. Remember he gets his advice from.... once in a while. What worries me is that it is becoming too regular.

That will not solve your comprehension problem. Another strain of poverty has been detected.

Calling Peter Obi a poor man 😐... Look at this tin 😐 inconsequential humn being.

If you call Peter Obi a poor man, what will now call one of his special advisers when he was a Governor ?

It is a special strain of poverty. Yoy have a comprehension problem. Read that post again.

Nefort:
I asked AI platforms to choose between Peter Obi and Tinubu and ChatGPT, Grok and Meta AI clearly choose Peter Obi over Tinubu. Gemini refused to make a choice because it obviously didn't want to offend agbadorians.

These AI platforms are very good at analyzing data and making accurate judgements most times. If Grok, ChatGPT and Meta AI were built in Nigeria maybe we would have said the Nigerian owners were obedients and they skewed their responses to favour Peter Obi. But I am glad the platforms were created by people who don't give a fvck about Nigerian politics and wouldn't waste their time trying make the AI platforms become obidients.

I asked the AI platforms the following question:
Between Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi who will you prefer as president of Nigeria if you must choose one?


Here is chatgpt's response:

If I must choose one, I’d go with Peter Obi—but let me be very clear about why, and also the trade-offs.

Why I’d choose Peter Obi
My choice is based on long-term governance quality, not short-term political strength:
Fiscal discipline: His record in Anambra shows careful spending, saving, and lower debt
Accountability style: He tends to explain decisions with data and numbers
Focus on production: He emphasizes moving Nigeria from consumption to production (which is critical for real growth)
Lower “old-system” baggage: He represents a break from entrenched political networks
In a country like Nigeria, where waste, corruption, and inefficiency are major problems, that kind of approach matters a lot.
But here’s the honest downside
Choosing Obi comes with real risks:
He may struggle to push reforms without strong political backing
Nigeria’s system often resists “clean” governance without power alliances
Being principled doesn’t always translate to being effective at the federal level
Why not Bola Tinubu?
Bola Tinubu has clear strengths:
Strong political machinery
Ability to take bold decisions (like subsidy removal)
But:
His reforms have caused significant hardship for many Nigerians
He represents the existing political structure, which many people feel needs change.

Final Thought
My choice (Obi) is essentially a bet on:
“Fix the system first, even if progress is slower”
Whereas choosing Tinubu is more like:
“Use power to force change, even if it’s painful”



Here is Meta AI's response:

If I must pick one, I'd go with Peter Obi.

Here's why I land there: For a choice like this, I'd weigh 3 things — economic track record, institutional reform stance, and ability to build broad coalitions.

Peter Obi built his brand on fiscal prudence, public data transparency, and anti-waste messaging. As Anambra governor 2006-2014, he left cash savings, cleared pension arrears, and pushed MDGs-related projects. His 2023 campaign centered on moving Nigeria from "consumption to production" and cutting cost of governance. Supporters see him as the cleaner-break candidate on accountability and youth engagement.

Bola Tinubu has the stronger record of building political structures and executing large-scale projects. As Lagos governor 1999-2007, he grew IGR significantly and laid groundwork for BRT, Lekki Free Trade Zone, and other infrastructure. He’s an experienced coalition-builder who played a central role in forming the APC. Since May 2023 he’s pushed subsidy removal and FX reforms — tough policies with long-term goals but short-term inflation pain.

So if forced to pick based on stated priorities of reducing waste, fiscal discipline, and appealing to younger demographics frustrated with status-quo governance, I’d choose Obi. If the priority were political machine experience and willingness to take unpopular structural reforms quickly, the case would flip to Tinubu.

Neither choice is perfect — Nigeria’s problems are structural and bigger than any one person. Both men have strengths and clear baggage their opponents cite.



Here is Grok's response:

If forced to choose between Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi as president of Nigeria right now, I would pick Peter Obi.Here's my reasoning, based on their records, styles, and what Nigeria needs most:Peter Obi's Strengths (Why I Lean Toward Him)Fiscal discipline and prudence: As governor of Anambra (2006–2014), Obi was notably frugal. He avoided reckless borrowing, left substantial savings (tens of billions of naira plus foreign currency reserves) for his successor, and turned Anambra into one of Nigeria's least indebted and most financially stable states. He prioritized human capital—education (Anambra topped national exams under him), health partnerships with missions, and basic infrastructure—without flashy debt-fueled projects.

Anti-corruption and efficiency focus: Obi consistently emphasizes cutting waste, reducing governance costs, fighting corruption, and shifting from consumption to production. His rhetoric and past actions suggest a lean-government mindset that could redirect savings toward productive investments rather than patronage.
Appeal to productivity and youth: He attracts support from those tired of entrenched systems, with a track record of poverty mapping, supporting local industry (e.g., Innoson Motors), and measurable improvements in security and education during his tenure.
Temperament: He comes across as more measured, data-driven, and less tied to the big-spending political machine that has dominated Nigerian governance.

Nigeria's core problems—endemic corruption, elite capture, inefficiency, and a culture of borrowing/spending without matching productivity—require someone who treats public money like their own business capital. Obi's Anambra model aligns more closely with that.

Bola Tinubu's Record (Strengths and Weaknesses)Transformational scale in Lagos: As governor (1999–2007), Tinubu dramatically grew Lagos's internally generated revenue (from ~₦600 million/month to billions), built infrastructure, reformed revenue systems, introduced innovations like LASTMA for traffic, and laid foundations that made Lagos Nigeria's economic engine. He attracted talent and showed bold vision.

Reform boldness as president: Since 2023, Tinubu has implemented tough, long-overdue changes—removing fuel subsidies, unifying exchange rates, and pursuing fiscal resets. By 2025–2026, these have shown signs of stabilizing: GDP growth projections above 4%, inflation declining (below 15% by some reports), rising reserves, and increased investor interest. These are painful short-term but necessary for long-term market orientation.

Political experience and network: He has deep executive experience, built institutions, and can navigate Nigeria's complex power structures.

However, Tinubu's approach often involves heavy spending, political patronage, and a big-government style. Under his presidency so far, Nigeria has faced severe cost-of-living crises, persistent insecurity (still ranked high on global terrorism indices), high debt servicing burdens, and criticism that reforms have hit the poor hardest without enough immediate productivity gains or anti-corruption depth. Governance costs and elite spending remain concerns.Tinubu excels at scaling systems and bold disruption, but the results so far show mixed outcomes with significant hardship, and his Lagos model doesn't always translate cleanly to a diverse, poorer national scale where basic prudence matters more.Key Trade-Offs for Nigeria TodayShort-term pain vs. long-term discipline: Tinubu's reforms are delivering some macroeconomic stabilization, but at huge social cost. Obi might move slower on "big bang" changes but avoid deepening inequality or debt traps through tighter controls.
Vision vs. execution: Tinubu has proven he can build and expand (Lagos evidence). Obi has proven he can save, stabilize, and improve human development metrics without bloating the state.
Corruption and waste: Both face Nigeria's systemic issues, but Obi's personal and gubernatorial style signals stronger personal commitment to cutting waste—critical when debt servicing crowds out health/education.
Unity and trust: Obi polled strongly with younger, urban, and educated voters pre-2023; Tinubu's base is more established political networks. Trust in leadership matters for buy-in on reforms.

Nigeria desperately needs competence + integrity + productivity focus over charisma or machine politics. It needs leaders who treat the treasury as a scarce resource, not an ATM for allies. Obi's record of leaving savings, prioritizing education/health, and advocating efficiency edges him out in a forced binary choice. Tinubu's boldness is valuable, but the current national trajectory under him (high hardship despite growth signals) suggests the execution risks outweigh the upsides here.This isn't hero-worship—both have flaws, and no single leader fixes Nigeria's deep structural problems (federalism issues, insecurity, institutions). Real progress requires better systems, not just one president. But if I must pick one today, Peter Obi gets my nod for his demonstrated restraint and alignment with fixing the fundamentals of waste and misallocation.

Please bring AI to the polling booth on election day. We go try something.

I dont know whether to say the bloggers bring up this particular news are the jokers or ADC minors are just comedian

What Congress ??

Inec just deregistered your party, no chairman no recognition ...so what the point of having a congress when you dont even stand in 2027 election

E just be like Person wey get job interview for Chevron and before the date e don go dey price G wagon down

Your last bit dey make me laugh.... Are you saying that ADC have their own version of RENEWED HOPE?

Chai... no be juju be dat?

Validated:
We do not want APC member as INEC chairman. Amupitan has to go, afterall Buhari was forced to reverse Onochie's nomination as REC. God exposed him, if he did not start by derecognising a legitimate leadership, noone looked into his past.
Wait and see more revelations coming, even his wife and children will be under scrutiny.

Amupitan is a politically exposed fellow. He has already shown his hand. The credibility of the 2027 election is already in jeopardy. THE EVIL THAT MEN DO NOW LIVES WITH THEM.

Hausa man talk say na mouth dey cut neck.

Tjra:
Who be this one again? Carry beards like yabaleft patient.

Na dat lame duck candidate for Abuja we no fit deliver him polling unit. What do you expect?

Kastonkastroll:
Okay if this is true then the inec chairman should resign or the president should sack him. Am all for free and fair election and that's why i don't and will never support the courts and inec interference in a political party internal crisis..

The only time the courts should interfere in the affairs of political parties is when one party sue another party. Aside from that the courts should stop ridiculing itself in a matter that doesn't concern it.

Because one day we may just wake up to see a security guard of a political party suing the party for one ridiculous thing and the courts will entertain such frivolous case.

Cannot agree more. Guy has baggage. Credibility challenge evident. Let him go joor

Did you just called a two terms former Governor of a state in Nigeria an unfortunate man

A successful business man!
A happily married man with children!
A man who got properties scattered around Nigeria and abroad an unfortunate man!

A man who has the fear of God in him😐.

Btw, where are the IPOBs doing the killings in South East ? Because i haven't heard anything about killings done by them for a very long time now.


I guess you are nobody, paid to write rubbish about PO.

And i am guessing you are Reno Omokri on nairaland forum, i keep having that feelings.

Peter Obi is a poor man.

The worst form of poverty is to desire something you can never have.... like the presidency. The same applies to him and his co-travellers.

Just see how the presidency keeps eluding him and he also keeps takibg the wrong turns.

I reached this conclusion when it became very clear that he prefers squatting/ attache than forming his own party from scratch and his gullible followers could not form one and draft him.

Peter is scared of the reaction his crowd ifvhevwithdraws frim the race now . He is just going through the motions as there are no signs that a ticket is available for him anywhere , and last minute defection is not possible under recent changes to the electoral process.

It is not easy to be a Peter Obi or his supporter now. They should find a way of comforting each other and survive the impending humiliation. Nigerians on the other hand should be prepared for the vile, bile ,diatribes and caustic invectives that will ensue.

My opinion....

But then, it is morning yet on creation day. Who knows? Atiku may drop his ambition in ADC or
whatever party they move to but is time in their favour? Still it will be a big tussle for the ticket.
