So basically what you're saying now is that we shouldn't support Obi but support either Atiku, Tinubu, or kwankwaso?

iiifedimma:
Please support our honourable Peter obi for the president's of federal Republic of Nigeria, we are tired of those thief's now,

Without a tribalism and nepotism any sane Nigerian's know it's someone like Peter obi that can now rescue Nigeria from totalling sinking, but seriously some ethnics bigot's people will just still prefer to hav their own man at the affairs of the country either he is capable or not than to go for what could have been the best solution to all nigerian's current problems, Peter obi2023 is certain

Maxymilliano:
Peter Obi is really pulling weight as underdog ...

QueenOfTheCoast:
be Obidient
it'll do you good and that of your generation.
Election no be intertribe competition
it's an avenue to better ourselves and our generation.
suffering knows no tribe.
Apc government have proven that Nigeria doesn't need them and promoting them again is a very big disservice to the country you claim to love.
Apc have failed.
you have to kiss this truth bro.

Fashola: The only sane man in APC who can match Peter Obi’s bureaucratic and governance analysis.

I’ve not seen or heard him interfering in the current politicking.

Toneypen247:
Commendable

ShadowWalker00:
Congratulations to He, Bola Ahmed Tinubu .

Atiku don score own goal finally, he won't win with Okowa .

I knew he won't pick Wike.

He was openly against Vat issue with Fg.
He was also loud against open-grazing.
He was also loud against Northern-monopoly.

There is already religious propaganda against Wike in the north, burning down of church, and blasphemy case against him.


Congratulations again to Asiwaju .

NaijaRoyalty:
You talk like someone with a questionable character

See how you shamelessly take side with corruption

Tinubu is a politician and not a private citizen


Tinubu is the national leader of APC, he's not a private citizen
He's a politician

Edge247:
This man no dey form at all. Very nice man.
Peter Obi flying Economy and also having conversations freely on the flight to Egypt.

Mbakas problem is that he talks too much.
Anyone that talks too much must always talk rubbish once in a while.., if not most of the time.

Our Oil and Gas money being squandered by uncircumcised abokis

Goodness will come near me abeg, what type of yeye talk be this

"We" are the Nigerians dissatisfied with the old order.Dissatisfied with stories why simple things can't be fixed etc
Kwankwaso is nothing without his supporters so also is Obi.
Obi is just the face of the average Nigerian- that we.
He symbolizes that nonentity that wants to be president but the powers that be(the Atikus) says he's not qualified simply because he has no godfather. Even a Wike that was a governor yesterday insults him because he has state money to waste...

Summary
Many oppressed Nigerians see themselves in Obi and without money adopted him as their voice. Kwakwanso has a different following that are predominantly his beneficiaries and tribesmen. His influence is mostly in Kano and if another northern Muslim contests with him other than kano, he's likely to lose.
Even a thieving Ganduje outsmarted him in Kano in the last election

Fadafada231:
And that 5k is even in naira not $

Backpedal:
Wait
So you are from Anambra now ?
Ah ah

Easy with the lies na

Mboi:
This one is still doing beer parlor argument.. How many bottles u don drink sef..

derecho:
You may suggest him to Tinubu... Or has he found the northern Muslim?

I repeat, what Obi needs are dissatisfied Nigerians.... We don't need kwakwanso.He needs us the Nigerian people.The power is with the people now NOT some "powerful" politicians.
Apart from God behind Obi,who is he without the people?

sonature1:
Good, but Peter Obi should not settle for a VP position. We need to sanitize this country for good.

Pakute:
You dey whine me ni?… Let's even assume the report is true, You think Kwankwaso would take orders from Obi?. Something that was never possible with Atiku.

Cyberterror:
What happened to your princeofLagos moniker?

I want Obi to partake in this election, it will make Atiku very uncomfortable, since south east is the base of PDP. But you see merger, it is too late for that. The only thing Kwankwaso will accept from Peter Obi's camp now is for Peter Obi to become his bItch!


That is the plain truth!

But trust the Obi's supporters, they will remain beclouded to rational reasoning until after the election.

derecho:
Unfortunately, Labour no need heavyweights. They only need millions of youths and Nigerians who are dissatisfied with the system.
Kwakwanso or no kwankwaso. APC + PDP must be OBIdient to Nigerians

4teenblaq:
I am just waiting for nnpp to make a merger with LP..

if it happens PDP and APC should kiss the presidency bye bye.

stawarts:
How market...hope you don get sense����

chigator2:
Aboki no go gree pesin drink water drop cup for this country.

Nawaoo.. Everyday killing

Islandlady:
Let's blame Tinubu for the insecurities and killings in alaigbo and we will be alright,

Insulting yorubas and Tinubu from morning till night like we are their problem, while alaigbo is burning. . .No election in Biafra land tho

Lawlab254:
Twitter electorates are still valid electorates. As you are on Nairaland, you probably have your PVC as I do. So does millions of Nigerians on twitter. That Twitter users don't have PVC is a stale joke taken too far. Some persons on Nairaland don't have a PVC, that doesn't negate the fact that most do have it. So, that Twitter argument is a fallacy at best.

Obi as a PDP man was not involved in Anambra politics after his tenure. The only reason he decamped to PDP was because of the national outlook of the party. In national elections, APGA always back PDP, as all South-Eastern states had for the past 23years. APGA didn't field a candidate in 2019 because of Obi. So mate, there is no beef between Obiano and Obi, nor APGA and Obi. Nobody in Anambra can floor Obi, if there is such a person, it is certainly not Obiano. Obi has a God-like fellowship in Anambra.

That Obi didn't allow LGA elections didn't prevent him from delivering the dividends of democracy to the grassroots. You don't understand the character of Obi yet. He is always averse to wastage and does his best to plug all such channels that encourages misuse of resources. Local government chairmen, in my opinion, are just another set of political undertakers. They don't deliver.

Yes, Atiku almost won Buhari, and 4million votes margin in a country of 200million+ population is not so big a margin. To put it into better perspective, Buhari won in 19 states, Atiku won in 17 states. Atiku also won in the FCT, if you add that to the 17 states, that's 18. So, Buhari led with just 1. So, I was right when I said Atiku almost beat Buhari.

On Sambo-Jonathan, I maintain my position that Sambo was and still is, a political neophyte and inconsequential in the scheme of things, as far as politics in the north is concerned. His son even lost in a primary of recent. He couldn't even deliver his own son in his own state. If GEJ had someone with the kind of clout Kwankwaso, Atiku, Zulum, Sanusi etc have, there is no way in the world that Buhari could have beat him in 2015. Yes, GEJ won with Sambo in 2011, but Sambo wasn't the contributory factor to that. So many things were in play in 2011, GEJ still had and enjoyed the good will of his former boss Yar'Adua in the north. Sambo is unknown in the north. Some persons currently can't even remember who he is. Some can't even recognise his face if you put him on a poster today, except you add his name to it. Some don't even know his name. This is the truth.

Speaking of GEJ reneging on a purported 1 tenure agreement, without conceding that he made such deal, but assuming he did make such an agreement, which politician ever kept such a bogus promise? So, stop talking about infidelity in that aspect when politicians are involved. They are all the same. None would keep such an agreement. There is no honour among thieves (if I may use that aphorism). GEJ didn't lose in 2015 because of an imaginary agreement. I don't think there was such an agreement, but I don't deny that there may have been such an "assumption" in the minds of some Northern political big wigs. The primary reason GEJ lost in 2015 was because of the insecurity perpetuated by Boko Haram and aided by northerners to spite/discredit GEJs government. GEJ was painted black using terrorism just demarket him before the electorates. That's like giving a dog a bad name so you could hang it. Buhari was packaged as a saviour, as the one to restore peace and crush the Boko Haram, after all, he is a retired General. Did he deliver on that? No, the situation has even snowballed into more terrorist organisations. One of the actors that packaged PMB to the electorates was BAT. He made tall promises. They didn't fullfil even one. How are you even thinking of voting in someone whose idea of growing the economy and quelling insecurity is to "recruit 50million youth into the army and feed them with Cassava and Agbado, Corn etc, to create demand". Is that how bright he is? This goes to tell you that Nigeria's economic, security and unemployment woes are far from over if BAT emerges. Have you even listened to people like Obi, Osinbajo, Moghalu etc? Have you listened to these bright minds proffer plausible solutions to the problems facing us as a country?

Saying that GEJ performed abysmally in office, well you may be right to an extent if we look at leadership through the lens of international standards, but when you put his government and that of PMB on the same pedestal to juxtapose the 2, GEJs records shine brighter. The currently inflation and naira free fall is a testament to the poor economic policies of PMB, compared to GEJ. Dollar is headed to 600 naira Sir. Can you point to one technocrat of fine repute in this government? I can point you to Ezekwesili, Adesina, Akunyili, Sanusi etc. These persons have made their marks, not just in Africa, but at the world stage. Which minister in this administration is without so much baggage? With Ministers and public officers competing to outdo each other in the looting spree, or do you want me to reel out numbers for you? Your jaws would drop if I do. You might even have a heart attack because of the mammoth figures being syphon.

PMBs administration has virtually mortgaged the future of Nigeria in exchange for Chinese loans. Do you know what the figures are currently, compared to GEJs? Should we talk about insecurities? At least, during GEJs time, we had only Boko Haram to contend with. PMB came and we have Boko Haram, ISWAP, Bandits and a thousand and one other splinter terrorist organisations actively competing for blood of innocent Nigerians. Do we talk about the ethnic tension currently pervading the nation's atmosphere? Apart from during the 1966 pogrom targeted at Igbos, Nigeria has never been as divided. In fact, Nigeria is even more divided now than in 1966. At least, back then, Igbos were the ones bearing the brunt, today, almost all the ethnic nationalities are rising.

Do we talk about the impunity and lopsided appointments that characterise this dispensation, in complete disregard to the constitutionally enshrined tenets of Federal character, which GEJ and his predecessors obeyed completely.

As for Mrs. Patience Jonathan, you need not reference her in this discuss. She wasn't a state actor. You risk being petty if you insist.

If you are not convinced by the points I have canvassed so far, simply do a referendum in your neighbourhood, on your Whatsapp status, Facebook or any medium that suits you, ask your audience to choose between GEJs tenure and PMBs, you will have your answer.

Vox Populi est vox Dei.

Desedes:
At first bolded, BAT tenure will be worse than Buhari, he is too old to rule Nigeria. We need someone with fresh idea, not employing 50million youth and feed them with Cassava, Àgbado'


At second bolded, isn't is obvious that Peter Obi is the best option for now?

Sugbon werey lopoju ninu awon eniyan, they will rather vote for their tribesman. They love Suffering more than anything

Lawlab254:
Okay. Namadi Sambo was one of GEJs undoing. Sambo had no political clout in the North. He had nothing to bring to the table. Atiku almost beat Buhari in 2019 because he ran with Obi, whose political clout in the South East/South South is currently unmatched. BAT, to stand a chance, don't be a GEJ, be an Atiku. For a balanced ticket, you need a Northern Christian with a big clout.

But which Northern Christian has such a clout? The kind of clout Obi has in the South, the kind of Clout Kwankwaso, El Rufai and Zulum have in the north? Answer is none. BAT, that leaves you with a very tempting Moslem/Moslem Ticket, which equally, is a recipe for failure.

But being the political enigma that you are, I am interested to see how you handle this conundrum. May the best candidate win.

You realise we have ORU in Anambra right??

luizkyworld:
Sentiments aside, Fayemi, Osinbajo, Dr. Adesina Akinwunmi of ADFB & Fashola are the best from the West right now. For east: Peter Obi, Kingsley Moghalu, Tony Elumelu. For North: Sanusi, Kwankwaso, Zulum, Tambuwal. South south: Ngozi Iweala, Donald Duke... That's all
