Bode always talking carelessly
You are an old man
Be matured

Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, has said he is wondering what Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 general election, is doing in the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

It is no longer news that Peter Obi is one of the top political leaders in the newly formed coalition movement whose aim is to remove President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Bode George, during an interview on Arise News, called on all those who have left the main opposition party to return to the party to brighten their chances of beating Tinubu in the coming election.

“We were in crisis for quite awhile because of the issue of who will sign to INEC but we’ve been able to resolve that…you see the situation in Nigeria now, those who are jumping ship I wish them the best of luck, but people that matter are the electorate.

“The voice of the people is the voice of God. I have no qualms in my mind about PDP not being able to do it.

“Those people who are there [in the ADC], they benefited from this party. Do you disown your father’s house? What are you looking for if not for personal reasons? Self-centredness, selfishness… And when I saw Obi there, I was wondering what he was doing there.

“Which of them had not been part of PDP? I wish them well but I’m advising them, come back let’s work together. You want to kick Bola out in 2027 and you want to divide the house.”

Other members of the coalition include former Senate President, David Mark, former Governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi, former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and so many others.

More than two years after the 2023 presidential election, a Labour Party (LP) faction has described its decision to field Peter Obi as its candidate as a “costly mistake” that has left damaging political consequences.

Speaking on Friday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Abayomi Arabambi, factional national publicity secretary of the party, said the LP made a fundamental error by choosing Obi over Faduri Oluwadare Joseph, a professional nurse whom he described as a disciplined and visionary leader.

According to Arabambi, the party’s decision to prioritise Obi’s popularity over Oluwadare’s credibility and national outlook “betrayed Nigeria’s genuine quest for transformation.”

He said: “It was a betrayal of Nigeria’s genuine quest for transformation.

“Instead of presenting a disciplined, well-prepared leader with a clear blueprint for national renewal, we offered Nigerians a populist who excelled at telling people what they wanted to hear.”

He said the Labour Party has drawn critical lessons from the 2023 outing and would not repeat what he described as the “Obi error” in the lead-up to the 2027 general election.

Arabambi insisted that Faduri Oluwadare Joseph remains the type of leader Nigeria needs.

He further accused Obi of fanning ethnic sentiments during the election, saying his campaign created unnecessary regional divisions.

“Perhaps the most damning indictment of Obi’s candidacy is his ethnic polarisation that shadowed his campaign.

“While Faduri stood as a truly national figure, with support cutting across regions, Obi’s movement, intentionally or not, became a vehicle for tribal sentiment,” he said.

Arabambi also criticised Obi for his silence on the activities of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as well as what he termed “selective outrage” on national security issues.

Arabambi assured Nigerians that his faction of the Labour Party will chart a new course as 2027 approaches, rooted in merit, national unity, and visionary leadership.

Softmirror:
And where did Tinubu say God told him. It is you who didn't understand my comment. If Tinubu or myself ever said God told Tinubu he will be the next President kindly show me.

Softmirror:
Tinubu went to Mecca on Hijra before the Primaries and afterwards in the end he became President. Hence you are painting a narrow perspective by using Pastor Chris Okotie as an example. Your free will should be able make you reason that if two people pray to become President only one of them can be at a time. Simple common sense.

Softmirror:
Tinubu will serve his 8 years complete. Tinubu is not a mere mortal he is very much favored by God Almighty. No matter what anybody place as a hurdle Tinubu will scale over it. He scaled over them last time he will scale over them again and again.

zeyt:
That is how you ppl painted him knownig him only from afar. But we know better.

SmartPolician:
Nasir El-Rufai is the most intelligent politician from northern Nigeria among the active ones. His problem is being too vindictive and bigoted.

But the enfant terrible of the Nigeria governance crop, hate him, love him, but you can't ignore him. Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, former Governor of Kaduna State

givedemwotowoto:
But APC scapegraces are the ones manufacturing and bringing hundreds of malicious (sometimes fabricated) topics about opposition to nairaland, not Obidients. Why are you people this terrified?
