I maintain that PDP and APC should not waste their money coming to campaign in the SE for presidential election. The entire igbo nation is on lockdown for PO, and we have no apologies for that.

The Igbos have supported the North, the SW and the SS. We want to support our own this time around.

We appeal to all well meaning Nigerians from every other section of the country to support us this time around, it is only fair. No be offense.

In any case, Obi is undoubtedly the most competent of all those running for president in this current cycle.

CockAndBullStor:
Peter Obi can only govern alaigbo not Nigeria!

I dont know what legacy project is.

Give me an example with one of Tinubu's legacy projects when he was lagos state governor, let me check if Peter Obituary did anything like that too.

ImmaculateJOE:
Alex Otti of LP is taking Abia state..
Only state PDP might win in 2023 guber polls in SE is Enugu, and that's if Apga refuses to take their chance..
As per the presidential race, PDP wont see even 20% in any state of SE..

The labour candidate in Enugu balance well. All things being equal, Chijioke Edoga should win.

If PDP survives in the south east in 2023, then it is lucky.

successmatters:
Which 30% in which Ebonyi? When Peter Obi is massive here?

Heavy vote buying.

Bar1941:
Igbo youth point of correction, they are not even up to twenty.

Can you even print sticker for the candidate you support?

Penguin2:
Lol



Meanwhile, Tinubu is stuck with Shettima. Window for substitution is over. Tinubu must now live with the consequences of his choice.

Even if the window isn't closed, Shettima will definitely not write a withdrawal letter. You can be sure of that.

jimyjames:
Igbos murdered almadu Bello a man who was like a king to the northerners in his own home, that alone is enough for the northerners to hate the igbos forever

Obasanjo killed lots of igbos during the war. Hardly any igbo holds a grudge against him to date. Why? it was war.

Ahmadu Bello was a victim of a military action. It had nothing to do with the igbo tribe.

however, if carrying the grudge from generation to generation makes you feel better, be my guest. But I really don't see how it helps. If we must remain as a country, what is in the past should only serve as a tool of learning, and not an instrument of hate.

Arrewa:
we are only reciprocating

Reciprocating what?

Arrewa:
Yes!
I don't like Igbos!! And am not apologetic about that!

Arewa, what has an igbo man ever done to you personally to make a bold statement that you do not like igbos? It is not as if we need your like but, why do you not like igbos?

Thaabitt:
No single Moslem governor in the south , all these Paul pigs and sheep are just getting more stupid everyday by day, we Moslem cares not, all we cares about is good governance

You don't understand the man.

You don't care that there is presently no muslim governor in the south, and you are correct. But you know why you don't care? It is because Muslims have been governors and will still be governors in the south.

But tell me honestly, will you care if you are told to your face that because you are muslim, you will never be governor, or that if presidency is zoned to your area, that you cannot aspire to be president because you are muslim? Digest what i read and answer.

That is the present state of mind of the northern christian. They have just been told clearly and without mincing words that they and their children can never become President or Vice president in nigeria.

seunmsg:
It’s obvious that Babachir is broke and need some money and attention. Tinubu should throw him some cash for rehabilitation. Dude is so broke and broken. Getting the VP slot was his only path to redemption and now he has lost that too. I pray he gets well quick enough.

Seun, abeg calm down for a minute. See eh, all of us will depart this world one day o. It is expedient that from time to time, we make effort to try to see where people are coming from. Nobody will possess this world.

No other part of the Nigerian demography will be able to relate with this issue of muslim/muslim ticket like the Northern Christian. Do you know what it means to tell a people that they are not competent simply because they confess a faith that you feel is inferior to yours? That is what Tinubu told northern Christians to their faces. I know BAT is just trying to be politically expedient, but that's what he did all the same.

No man who is worth anything will take such an insult lightly. It is not an insult on him alone, it is an insult to the entire generation of christians that will be born in Northern Nigeria. What they are telling them is simply, If you are a northern christian, you will never be president in Nigeria. That is harsh. As it stands, it is easier for a muslim igbo to represent Ndigbo than for a christian hausa/fulani to represent the north.

So while you support BAT's candidacy, dont take sides on all the matters that emanate from his ambition. Life is very long and you do not know the side you or somebody close to you will be on tomorrow.

DSC7:
Most igbos will definitely vote Osibanjo instead of Rochas, OUK, Uzodimma, Ikpeazu and Ekweremadu..


Don't be deceived nobody can influence an igbo man to vote against his conscience...

If you are not competent, they ditch you...

They don't hate Tinubu but.................

Igbos like Ekweremadu o to an extent. Between Ekweremadu and Osinbajo it will probably be 50/50. Even with PO it would be like 70/30. At least i know a few igbo guys who said if Osinbajo were to be on the ballot, they would have been confused who to go for. I wouldn't have though, I would have voted PO.

But if it were to be rochas, OUK and the rest, even Umahi or my own useless governor ugwuanyi, I would have voted Osinbajo.

Seunmsg and the rest of them like helineus would vote a Taju from any hole in the SW than to vote an Ngozi Okonjo Iweala. Even if na dis Lasun guy wen dem don abuse tire, dem go vote am.

Yorubas hated Obasanjo, that's why they voted Falae in 1999. But guess what? in 2003, they voted overwhelmingly for OBJ. You know why? because he was the only yoruba man on the ballot. Yet they discount the support the igbos gave OBJ in 1999 and 2003, even when we had ojukwu.

Tufia. Very tribalistic set of people. Igbos are more liberal.

3ple9iner:
Ok who voted for Okorocha has a governor and now a senator, is it the Fulani or Hausa ohh it would be the Yorubas right?

The Oriji you are talking about wasn't he celebrated when he was released? or have you forgotten?

We only realized how terrible okorocha was when he became governor. Prior to that, everyone thought Okorocha was a very correct person.

I am not from Imo state, but when Okorocha beat Ohakim, all igbos were happy for Imo people. We didn't know he is one of the most useless human beings ever.

BATified2023:
have igbos ever voted another party since 1999?

They will always vote pdp irrespective of who they field,the reason y they are in Labour now is that they lost out in pdp after serving pdp for over 20 years

Your argument is self defeating. Listing to yourself: "They will always vote pdp irrespective of who they field...". So how do you turn around to say they are in labor now because they lost out in PDP? If they always vote PDP irrespective of who they field, that means they would always be in PDP regardless.

We have always voted PDP because we have been okay with the candidates they brought forward. There was never a better candidate.

Now there is a better one.

Why are you guys finding it so difficult to accept that the igbos are not as tribalistic as a lot of you are? I mean that's the reason for all of this.

Igbos are not tribalistic. Na una dey make us wan dey tribalistic.

2elliot:
This is just the fact, but most people are missing it. This is political intrigues. Buhari and his evil party has learnt the subtle act of conceiving loses in small fights while gaining the majors.

'


Do you know the implication of losing a major stronghold 8 months to general elections? Do you know the type of signal this has sent across the nation? Do you know the amount of people that will presently be rethinking their loyalty to apc as 2023 approaches?

Don't deceive yourself. APC lost this election because they couldn't win and there was nothing they could do about it.

Hey, but its okay to console oneself.

As it stands today, Tinubu has no stronghold. He is totally dependent on what the northern APC governors can give to him.

That is not good for a presidential candidate.

AstralBody:
Go and sit down on Tinubu poo. U all where hoping he rigged the election for crooked Tinubu. One of Tinubu urchin,by name Madridguy,even made shameful statement that election is won by rigging! Spits

They were expecting midnight changing of results which is their stock in trade.

Electoral act has destroyed that one. Going forward, if you cannot get the votes, forget the seat.

GreyLaw:
Hey Nairalanders. I think Asukwo is Nigeria's best cartoonist in the political space. I instantly recognise his cartoons even without checking the name rights on the picture. His cartoons are very funny, engaging, and pass the message like no other cartoon can.

Who is your best cartoonist in the political space of Nigeria? Can you post some of his cartoons?

This one below is one of the best from Asukwo. You can post yours.

Kindly post more. I have been looking at that cartoon since yesterday. Just cant stop laughing.

LOOBE:
Here is mine

You shall not labor in vain brother. You will certainly reap the fruits of your labor.

Sexydevil:
Pls learn to ignore and followup with building a stronghold in your community for whoever your candidate maybe.

Correct.

You can imagine.

Trapnews:
You are just forcing everybody to vote for una, na by force?

Did you read my post? Where did you see vote for Peter Obi there?

helinues:
After the 2023 election, whoever emerges the winner, one of the complicated issues in Nigeria to handle is the incarceration of Kanu.

Which of the presidential aspirants have what it takes to get Kanu out of his trouble earlier?

Give reasons and why you think so

I would think Atiku would be faster in releasing him. And the person that will find it most difficult is Obi for obvious reasons.

ImmaculateJOE:
I expect GEJ and Gowon to be come OBIdient soon..

Infact it is that of GEJ I am waiting for. That will have a lot of impact in the remaining SS states.

Ah a. Wetin happen?

Which kin thread be dis one abeg?

Person go open thread title am "God punish Tinubu"

Na wah. People dey vex o.

IgweOfNnewi:
Hallucinating delusion Grandeur, mkpurumiri will soon clear from your eyes, you start shouting your Biafra or death again after you have forgotten and abandon Kanu in DSS dungeon

Young Nigerians are trying to find fulfillment while eking out a a decent living in a failed nation, and all you can think about is your stupid tribalism.

It shall never be well with you, except you repent of your evil state of mind.

And if you think I am just ranting, continue on this path, and in 10 years time, let's see where you will be.

Lunatic.

Trapnews:
You are just forcing everybody to vote for una, na by force?

Kagd10:
List Peter obi's achievement or shut up. You can't impose your monumental failure on us. Your failure Peter Obi can only rule you in your village.

Did you read my post? Where did you see vote for Peter Obi there? E be like say una madness don complete.
Hopeless set of people.

Bluntguy:
Go and verify.

PO said we should go to Anambra and verify. Where do i want to verify this one na?

Bluntguy:
While we wait for the day the three big men will meet themselves face to face for a presidential debate, one is already breaking barriers and boundaries.

This has not been verified, or has it?

SledgeHammerer:
U call dis low turnout massive? Hahahahahahahaha...... massive must mean something else with IPOB.

That is massive. I didn't even know they will reach that number.

If you do not know, Osun is the state that gives APC the highest votes in the presidency in SW. If PO gets 10% of Osun votes, then he has done exceedingly well. I am certain APC will not get 2% votes in the SE.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Peter Obi is not hoping to win Osun or Sw, that'ss the only zone tinubu would win.Or you think tinubu would get up to 50 people if he comes to Anambra?

He will get thousands. The only thing is that all of the attendees will be handsomely paid. But na dia e go end. On election day, e no fit see 1000 votes for anambra.

Babaisha:
Still expecting data driven engagements without insults and grand-standing.


Youths, we should start asking the right questions.


Waiting for anyone that knows Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu achievements during his 8years at Alausa to share that with me.


God bless Nigeria

As far as i am concerned, the major thing Tinubu did in Lagos during his time was setting up lastma and lawma. Otan.

It was towards the end of his administration sometime from 2005 that he sent Julius Berger to Lagos island to start rebuilding all those roads in Isale Eko. Nothing more. Except anyone is willing to say dividing already existing roads like Allen avenue, Toyin Street and others are achievements.

Truth be told, it was fashola that gave Lagos the facelift that these tinubu urchins are shouting up and down about.

Talking about him being able to spot talent and use them for development, I laugh. Fashola and maybe Ambode are the only people you would say that Tinubu brought on board that stood themselves out to an extent. I say to an extent because performing as governor in lagos state with all the money is not very difficult. Others are not better than anyone of their colleagues in other states badly run states.

Aregbe was in Tinubu's cabinet, how well did he perform in Osun? How well is he performing as minister.
Amosun is still one of the most useless governors to have graced that office in Nigeria.
Oyetola is a disaster
Fayemi did nothing in his first tenure, and has done nothing for ekiti people to date.
Eleyi of Ogun state, how far? Ogun people should answer.

Or should we consider the legislators at federal level: Afikuyomi, Solomon, mamora, Yayi, Gbaja, Ashafa, Faleke etc. What can you say any of these people have achieved?

Leave matter abeg. Tinubu's so called competence is pure propaganda.
