Shettima is also very sound. He is an accomplished economist, who rose to the position of DGM in Zenith Bank (Regional Bank Head - covering North East division) before resigning to become Commissioner of Finance under Ali Modu Sheriff. In terms of political popularity though, El-Rufai beats him hands down being a Fulani as against Kashim who is a Kanuri. Issue with El-Rufai though is the aspect of loyalty and the perceived religious extremist baggage he carries.

Personally, Tinubu should pick Shettima. Election will be very very close, but they will still scale through. Loyalty is very important in order to have a successfully administration.

Elrufai is a better choice.

Too much of loyalty isn't good. There has to be a limit to everything.

Elrufai will not sacrifice the greater good of the populace to loyalty.

I also believe that Buhari would prefer Elrufai to Shettima as he is more likely to have the final say on who becomes Tinubu's running mate.

Just as Osinbajo belongs (ed) to the Tinubu bloc in the presidency, Buhari's CPC would want to keep their bloc in the presidency as well with Elrufai.

The voting power of the Northwest will also be a huge consideration, as it won't be a strategic idea to allow Kwankwaso operate in that vast political space sololy.

However, I believe there are mind games going on. There may also be some big surprises to all of this. Lets not rule that out.

These lists usually have three names. I am suspecting a last name that could be pushed up, and that person may just be a Christian after all.

Make we just dey watch.

alsudan:
In 2019, all Christian Candidates stepped down for only Northern Muslims to contest, so there’s no moral justification for a Muslim to aspire to be President in 2023. Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed yesterday while speaking on Channels TV Yesterday.

The Agbado Thief can nominate the known Boko Haram Shettima or the Herdsmen El Rufai all he wants. But 100% of Christians and a good number of Liberal Muslims will be waiting for them.

I don't know why a grown man will come to a public space and lie without any considerations, whatsoever.

Do you even know the meaning of 'presidential candidate'? So, Oby Ezekwesili of the ACPN, Kingsley Moghalu of the YPP, Donald Duke of the SDP, Chris Okotie of the FDP, Fela Durotoye of the ANN, and several other christian candidates, that contested the 2019 presidential elections lied about their religious status?

If you want to bring religion into this, then the best candidate for 2023 is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. For a delicate country like Nigeria, and considering that Tinubu, though a Muslim, is married to a Christian; and they have lived together for decades.

For me, there cannot be any more lessons on religious tolerance and liberalism than that.

Mind you, I am a Southerner from Anambra state. I don't do religion as it makes no real meaning to me. Your religion has done more harm than good to society.

You religious people lie too much. You promote division, hate and disrespect. Religion is supposed to be a lifestyle of purity, love and self-restraint. But for you guys, it is the exact opposite.

The question is: which presidential candidate are you rooting for? Can you honestly put out his achievements in public office and let's juxtapose them with those of the other candidates to verify competence? No one human being is a saint. We must disabuse our minds about that.

Totilopussylick:
This is how a vice president should look like.

And the president himself.


Extremely healthy looking.


Nigeria shall be great again.

Vote for labour party

Vote for peter obi.

No be health we wan chop o...wetin Obi health help Anambra achieve in 8 years?

Jonathan no dey healthy?

But Buhari perform pass am.

OreMI22:
I totally appreciate your work. I especially respect this thread because it documents all Obiano's works for posterity.

It is very disheartening when some Anambra people are deceived by non-NdiAnambra to hate one of our most transformative leaders. In their mind, they think those brainwashing them are doing so just against Obaino as a political strategy against APGA, but the real agenda is to keep Anambra in its entirety down as a dysfunctional archaic state so their states would catch up. But God pass them. Many more Anambrarians are smelling the coffee and seeing the game that is truly going on.

What really got me was that the same people arguing to hell why Anambra needs poverty alleviation and does not need an airport, turning around and praising the Ebonyi airport being built by a governor has not addressed any bit of even greater shameful poverty level in Ebonyi state! You wonder what their anti-Anambra agenda was really about!

Thank you very much for this thread! Keep up the good work.

Anyone who hates Obiano is not from Anambra.

I am from Anambra, and I will tell you for free. Obiano performed creditably well in office.

Tell them to show you a well packaged documentary of Obi's projects in Anambra,and they would start cursing...

Bollinga:
But non of those you mentioned are contesting. We are only left with the option of picking from those contesting.

You have a point.

Since we are now left with these ones that are contesting, it behoves on us to situate our choices more on past performances in public office.

Fortunately, all of Obi, Tinubu, Kwankwaso and Atiku had occupied positions of trust.

Can we honestly say that Obi outperformed Kwankwaso, Tinubu or Atiku in public office?

Let's go and verify the records.

Fahdiga:
Wike is highly overated.

You dey mind them?

I am disappointed at Dankwambo, Duke and Makinde especially.

Atiku should stand his ground.

Why Wike be allowed to run rampage on the party? I don't blame him. I blame the docile Rivers indigenes who allow him to recklessly spend their common wealth.

Bollinga:
Name those that does well in government

People who perform in small assignments Outstandingly are more likely to do well in bigger ones.

Go and check Zulum's achievements in Borno in just few years and you'd be shocked. Do same for Fashola and Marwa of the NDLEA.

So, tell me what are Obi's landmark accomplishments in Anambra as governor for 8 years?

Fuckingmallam45:
Imagine back then, if Soludo were to contest for the position of president, just like present Obi, the whole social medias would have tried to portray him as a saint for us, and we might definitely believe them, just see what is happening now. Is Soludo not young? Is Soludo not educated? Is Soludo not vibrant?
Politics is more than all these aforementioned, people that are supporting Obi should think it well, what if he happened not to be the Messiah they all hope for? But anyway, he might definitely have a good reason for doing that. I pray such a reason to yield positively and be a welcome development.

People like Obi don't do well in government.

Don't mind all those people clamouring for him to be president.

Perhaps, they should start by listing his landmark projects as Anambra state governor.

Idiotseverywher:
. Igbos said they don't need VP any more what is good for the goose is also good for the gander , if kwankwaso think the VP is good gir the southeast, hr should have taken the VP for labour knowing fully well that his party is an ethnic party, to tell you, igbos have awaken , let the any mad dog among them take any VP and see that his madness will be cured, you can go and listen to wine's lamentation, if the last time an Igbo man was VP in 1983 , who has been ruling since then, the same buhari did that coup because he knew Ekwueme will likely take over from shagari, , it will not continue like this at least the Fulani is getting the notice that power doesn't belong to them alone, 2023 will determine the next move, at least south east politicians are getting aware and coming together, Obi have given them the courage, woke have shake them , nobody or tribe owns Nigeria, its just the lousiness and greediness of the southern political class that is messing them at least, they ate now realising that no one zone can produce the president, kwankwaso was making mouth that the not will not vote south east, who told Him that the south east will vote north, and northern votes can not produce a president, he can go and ask Buhari

The usual rant!

Where is the strategy?

It is as simple as that.

In governance, it is different ball game. The closer you are to power, the better.

But if you think ranting is a strategy for you...that is okay.

Idiotseverywher:
. You're too pathetic, I am wondering if you are Igbo, with the thrash you wrote, so you are saying that Igbo should continue to be VP, and if you read in between kwankwaso mind, he said the North will not vote Igbo because of Biafra, what is the assurance that they will vote Igbo after the VP, I like what is happening, Peter Obi must context at least to prove a point, no zone has monopoly of power, , by 2023, igbos will know that they don't have to trust anybody for power, they will go for power, only north can not produce a president without two other zones, like wise other zones, the north only make mouth with their hyped population, when proper data is done in Nigeria you will know that they have nothing despite registering nigerien as Nigerians

Continue to be VP? How? Do you the last time an Igbo man was VP? Maybe, I should remind you....it was in 1983. So, think before writing.

Is anyone preventing Obi from contesting? You too can contest for all I care.

Make we leave matter, election day go come las las.

These things are about strategic collaboration. It has nothing to do with monopoly. You guys should stop talking off point.

Kwankwaso was damn right. Just as it was difficult for Igbos to vote Buhari in the Southeast, Obi is most likely to suffer the same fate in the entire North.

Disregard Kwankwaso's comments at your own peril.

solochris:
Kwankwaso will not make a good vp with this mentality, Obi should just move on

...in your dreams...
Kwankwaso? VP to who exactly?

Abeg, stop it.

Kwankwaso and Obi are not mates.

Kwankwaso is way more experienced than Obi.

Go and check their performances as governors, this is besides that fact that Kwankwaso has gone ahead to be Defence Minister and Senator.

And to react to what Kwankwaso said...it is nothing but a statement of fact.

We, Igbos, are at the bottom most level, in terms of participation in national leadership. Why must we always fight the truth? We want people to only say what we like and that is wrong.

How do you confirm the veracity of what Kwankwaso said? The last Igbo man, Aguiyi-Ironsi, that presided over Nigeria did so in 1966. The last Igbo VP, Alex Ekwueme, left office in 1983. The last Igbo President of the Senate, Ken Nnamani, vacated the office in 2007.

Currently, Buhari from the Northwest is President. Obasanjo from the Southwest left office as president in 2007 while Osinbajo from the same region is sitting Vice President.

David Mark from the Northcentral was Senate President for 8 whole years and only left office in 2015. His brother, Bukola Saraki, assumed the same office until 2019.

The current occupier of the office of Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, is from the Northeast, just as current SGF Boss Mustapha.

Jonathan from the Southsouth only left the presidency in 2015.

Now, seeing all of these, and reflecting back on how Ndigbo were an internal part of Nigeria's leadership between 1960 and 1966, would you honestly say that Ndigbo aren't at the bottom level of national politics?

Why fight Kwankwaso for telling the truth? My brother, let me tell you the gospel truth....the shortest cut to an Igbo presidency is via the vice presidency route. We are at the very lowest point in national politics at the moment. The sooner will tell ourselves the truth, the better for us.

We can't afford to fight everyone who talks in the North (the Northwest especially), particularly when the person is stating the fact.

Do you know that with the current demographics, to win the presidency you need to massively win in two critical regions in Nigeria, the Southwest and Northwest. Which Igbo man alive can win convincingly in one, let alone the two regions?

Even Buhari, with all his cult following in the North couldn't do it until others joined him, Tinubu in particular. Tinubu's collaboration delivered 5 states out of 6 to Buhari in 2015. Igbo youths keep talking without rationality on social media. The Presidency project is a massive one. No be governorship o. The more people read all the antagonistic, tribalistic and divisive comments, the harder it is to achieve it. They are messing things up even more.

LeoDeKing:
Beer parlour gist with some paper arrangement to give credibility.

When it backfires, Tinubu supporters will take the blame.

These people are mistaking Nigeria for their online country.

Very funny pipu.

You dey mind dem?

Make dem tell am to account for Anambra LGAs funds, as e refuse to conduct elections for the entire 8 years that he served as governor.

Imortal001:
Who buy the conscience of those people supporting tinubu or atiku?
If you partake in #ENDSARS and still supporting tinubu, you need to go check your brain.
ThankGod that most of the youth have decide to be obidient.

Abeg, keep quiet!

Tinubu and Atiku have as much right as Obi and anyone else to aspire to be president.

If you want to vote for Obi, go ahead but don't come hear to insult people supporting other candidates.

Can you show me Obi's projects in Anambra for the 8 years he was governor?

You guys can fabricate documents all you want....Obi isn't going to be president if majority of Nigerians say so.

Perhaps, you guys should start by asking Obi to account for Anambra LGAs funds for the 8 years that he refused to conduct LGA elections.

Subsea:
Peter Obi of Labour Party is simply the best candidate and the man Nigeria needs desperately come 2023 presidential election. He outlined the issues that has bedevilled the country over the years proffering solutions to change the narrative once and for all. Peter Obi said:
1. I can’t sleep because I know what to do! I have gone round the 36 States of the country like I have gone round 31 countries of the world, I know the problems of Nigeria and I know I can fix them easily! Because I can see them, I can fix them!
2. Hunger takes people to the streets! Job and food will obviously take them out of crimes! That’s my specialty, creating jobs and wealth!
3. I have not come out for myself! I have come out for the millions of youths that are losing hope in our beloved country!
I have come out for the millions of women who are afraid of tomorrow and what it holds for them and their children! I have come out for the poor who are asking weather it’s a sin to be a Nigerian! For them, I have come!
4. For people who are asking if Peter Obi has ‘structure’, what structure is bigger and stronger than the collective will of the masses on whose necks the knees of the politicians have been? What structure is greater than the determination of a people who have at last decided to take back their country, their only country?
5. The battle for the rescue of the soul of Nigeria has just begun and we must all be contributive and participative in it.
6. Yes, we may not have the money to share because we didn’t steal any. We have not come to enslave but to serve.
7. Have you imagined somebody giving you money to help you? Bribing you to go and serve you? It’s wisdom to go for a permanent solution than a temporary remedy!
8. This battle is to help Nigerian youths, Market women, struggling families, students, teachers, famers, old and poor, whose helpless looking faces I see everywhere I go. It’s for these people that l, Peter Obi, have come! However, like a drowning man, they must bring out their hands to be saved!
9. In this battle, if you can’t fly, run! If you can’t run, walk! If you can’t walk, crawl! If you can’t crawl, roll! If you can’t roll, shout! By all means we must be on the move and we must be heard!
10. These people are more than 50 million of the Nigerian voting adults. They have the power. Their destiny is in their hands so they can change it. If they will it, they will win it!
11. Remember, the man with energy will always be at the mercy of the man with strategy based on synergy. With God on our side, we shall not fail and we shall not fall! May God help us!
God bless Nigeria!
12. I will rather lose doing the right thing than win doing the wrong thing.
13. Nigeria must move beyond oil; we must move from Consumption to Production nation.

Forget Peter Obi!

He governed my state for 8 whole years and performed far below average.

Obi can only hypnotize you guys in the corners, no we Anambrarians.

He should account for LGA funds for the 8 years he served as governor, since he refused to conduct LGA elections.

Ndibunna:
Only criminals and Ipobs will be against what soludo is doing in anambra state. Of course Ipob propaganda machine have tagged it that soludo is killing innocent youths but in essence he is exterminating their occultic chukwu okike abiama kindgom.

Anambra people are solidly behind their Governor. Raid the criminals and destroy their invades. Send them back to wherever they are coming from.

Anambra are peaceful people and will never allow propagandist neighbors to destroy our dear state. Soludo ride on you have our full and loyal support.

Never again will criminals kill our people carelessly in the name of freedom fighting.

Ndi uchu.

I am from Anambra state, and I must commend you for your comment.

If Obiano had done a quarter of what Soludo is currently doing on security, things would not have degenerated to the extent that it did.

I must commend Governor Soludo and his team for their bravado and tireless commitment.

We, genuine Ndi Anambra, are solidly behind him.

Together, we shall build the Anambra of our dreams.

Totilopussylick:

Lapilolo:
Na Mumu go kill you. You and your likes are the reason Nigeria is in this shit. This is what tribalism, nepotism and lack of common causes.

Mumu kill your father and your generations!

Can you list 5 capital projects of Peter Obi, idiot?

How states in Nigeria have you been to in your life?

You think everyone is a mediocre like you?

Nepotism and tribalism...when I am from the same with Peter Obi abi? You be ewu!

yinkus6750:
Personal selfish interest.
Regional northern leader whose acceptability of his kwakwansiya is mostly within Kano and immediate environs.
Not really a national figure.
Keep spoiling your chances, the coffee will be bitter very soon

Everything Kwankwaso said is damn correct.

Kwankwaso is far more a national figure than Obi.

He is even way more experienced than Obi, having been a Senator and a Defence Minister.

In terms of records of public service, Kwankwaso dwarfs Obi. Let's even talk of the size and complexity of the states they governed. Anambra is Nigeria's second smallest state, by landmass, yet Obi couldn't leave any significant landmark.

So, dem no be mate...

No let all the 'Obidient exclamations' for social media deceive you. Nobody wins elections on social media.

If Atiku is a national figure, then Kwankwaso is as well. You want me to tell you how? Kwankwaso beat Atiku to come second in the APC Presidential Primaries of 2014, which Buhari won.

Is Obi that ran away from the PDP Presidential Primary now the national figure since Kwankwaso isn't?

Every frontline political analyst in the country was waiting to see Obi's performance at the PDP primary to measure his national acceptability....but what happened? He ran away to 'collect' the presidential ticket of the Labour Party.

foryourmindok:
Oga run for elections on your own.

Win the North and share it with Atiku. Peter Obi will manage to win 25% in very few core northern states. He will win middle belt, South South, South East. Win at least 30% in Southwest states. Cruise to victory.

This Kwankwaso doesn't know that he has the best chance to emerge as Nigeria's president.

He should for Peter Obi who doesn't know his left from his right.

All Kwankwaso needs to do know is to get a strong VP candidate from the Southwest to cutdown on Tinubu votes there. Then get strong persons to scavenge for votes in the Northcentral, Southeast, Northeast and Southsouth regions.

He will certainly do well in the Northwest.

LoneWolf212:
See finish of the highest order.

Catching cruise with the highest office in Nigeria.

Abeg, make una forget all these certificate nonsense.

Certificate is very important and necessary, but at the same time, it does not guarantee performance in office.

How well did Jonathan perform with his certificates? Buhari without certificate, as they claim, has fixed (and is fixing) critical Infrastructures such as Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Bonny-Bodo Bridge, 2nd Niger Bridge, Lagos-Ibadan Railway, Warri-Itakpe Railway etc, including giving significant facelifts to the nation's key airports.

Fahdiga:
Go to Anambra and verify.

I am from Anambra, and visit my state regularly.

I know Anambra from its length to its breadth.

Where are Obi's landmark projects located?

You guys should stop this mediocrity.

The road from Ekwuluobia through Nanka and Agulu (Obi's hometown) to Nise and Awka isn't in fantastic shape. What of the one from Agulu to Nnobi? Nnobi to Awka Etiti to Igbo Ukwu and to Isuofia?

The one he constructed in Amaokpala, Umuawulu to Awka are now ridden with dangerous potholes.

I want you to show me any top quality / landmark project Obi accomplished in Anambra.

Fahdiga:
Now we have someone speaking like a president that he will soon be. Peter Obi might not be perfect. Even the holy book of Qur'an said that no one is perfect except Allah. We have forgotten about it. Peter Obi is the best man for the job. May Allah grant you your wish.

Let me have his performance scorecard in Anambra?

I mean his key capital projects while he was governor.

SmartPolician:
A peaceful revolution is upon us, peepz.

Even if Peter Obi cannot achieve anything, we just need him to instill discipline in public service.

Nigeria cannot continue to be used as bad examples and everything thinks it's normal.

Exactly!

The same way he instilled discipline in the Anambra public service, especially by not conducting LGA elections in 8 whole years.

Wow! That is wonderful.

Smithkafors:
This is purely extrajudicial killing...... Look closely you will see the sister of one of them on the floor crying. Where is ohanaeze ndigbo and other Igbo leaders when you need them...... This is not right and should be condemned entirely.

Shey una dey sing the praises of unknown gunmen.... Imagine, killing several security operatives and beheading two lawmakers. What do you expect?

We were strongly against them. But una dey hail them. Make them come out, come finish wetin dem start o.

What do you expect of the military when several of their colleagues have been killed by these hoodlums?

Now, things have degenerated.

Una neva sabi military operations....oya, e don set.

Peter Obi does not have what it takes to preside over Nigeria.

I keep asking what his signature projects are in Anambra...and no one has responded.

Obiano, despite his abysmal performance, can boost of an airport and international convention center.

obynzo:

So, I have to be a hypocrite to come from Anambra?

Swear with your life if you truly are certain that I am not from Anambra.
