So you couldn't see personal preparations and dialogues with those he feel would support his presidential ambition in all I have been writing?

I have continually said
*He isn't Tinubu or Atiku who throw money around.
*He has his style and not a noise maker

Are you expecting him to go and sleep in Kano or celebrate his birthday in Jigawa before you know he meets stakeholders?

Even most of his tour meetings were not known to the public until journalists started interviewing him.

I have written the way I wrote because I believe you're not a kid and you should be able to sift the necessary things.

Summary
Obi has been in touch with his contacts and been preparing himself for presidency post-2019.
He has visited more countries to see how they solved what the FG is struggling with.Listen to him and hear him talk about them.
He is constantly talking about Nigeria when others are quiet for fear of not sounding politically correct. What do you think he was doing?
Need I remind you of Business meetings and speaking engagements that he has used to position himself?

Except what you mean by preparation is acting like Tinubu or striking deals with power brokers in PDP.

You seem to think someone not ready to spend money like Obi would just come during PDP primaries and would be a threat to a Wike or Anyim.

donbrowser:
So you can't even make reference to any of the stuffs you've been claiming since and you're saying your principal is prepared for presidency?

No need for any proof if you understand the why for the surge in PVC registration. Abi na today pipu first hia about PVC?

If you don't know, those that never were interested and those twitter voters are the ones that want to prove a point.

DeleTaller:
Only if you can proof that all those employers and employees are going to vote PETER OBI.

Miscalculation again

Gone are those days that you'd want to listen to a presidential broadcast

Even Abacha time no be like this...so uninspiring.

Buhari-- Tinubu and Atiku's 2015 gift to Nigerians

The intellectuals you mean?
Enough talks with business men and youth gatherings.
He deliberately engages Government on what he considers wastages.His target, in my opinion, is Nigerians.

Like I said, he has a unique approach and that's why he remained relevant amongst the topshots in PDP.
His only problem in PDP is that he's not ready to bribe people and he doesn't think like them

donbrowser:
Can you give reference to how Obi has been meeting stakeholders since the past four years to prepare for the forthcoming election?

I referred to two things not just the tour.I also spoke about his person. He doesn't need to adopt Tinubu's style.
As a business man he's in constant touch with other stakeholders especially the intellectuals.
His style is different from Atiku or Tinubu but consistent.
Birthday for example is for one day and those far away can even wish you well.The birthday in the north is not as effective as the monies he doled out.Or was he doing his birthday in every northern state?
Tinubu and Atiku's major style is inducement (bribe).Tinubu only spiced his own up with threats and thuggery

donbrowser:
I read it. The tour happened recently not the past 4 years which is same thing I've been saying. Tinubu has been celebrating his birthday in North since cos he needs their votes. Tinubu appointed a young Northern as media officer of his campaign. Shettima went to channels TV for Tinubu due to consultation. These are significant preparations.

If a retired thief on his dying bed tells you not toe the path he walked, would you discard the advice especially when you know it's bad to steal?

Democracy started with you in 1999...you did not build refineries or repair the other existing refineries, solve the lack of electricity power supply even when 16 million dollars was given to you to solve the lack of constant electricity power supply in the country at that time

Tinubu ati Atiku n'on bawi yen.
Coded message

Did you miss where I said he's been travelling the world understudying thriving economies....
And when I spoke about his tour around the 36states?

donbrowser:
You still haven't mentioned how he was preparing. How he recognized his weaknesses and have tackled it and how he's preparing for the huddles ahead.

Though, I don't rejoice over his medical condition but the answer is not farfetched if you are dealing with politicians.

Politicians don't think rationally but for what's in it for them that's why that
Bornu Parrot can use words like nice and nasty in the same sentence against Osinbajo.
Some of those Politicians may defect to PDP tomorrow to support Atiku since all they know is money and Fulani supremacy.
Tinubu winning APC ticket came with a lot of concession. He must have even ceded Yorubaland to the Fulanis apart from the money spent.

donbrowser:
What made a man with Parkinson defeat all candidates without Parkinson in a primary election?

No doubt you are talking about Tinubu but you cant do it in isolation especially as it affects other contenders of which Peter Obi is one.

Peter Obi is a good wine that needs no bush...
It's hilarious to think Obi wasn't preparing himself post-2019.

I want to believe you're not one of those who thought Obi just came to PDP to perpetually be Atiku's running mate?

donbrowser:
This post is about Asiwaju and how prepared he is for the next election. You can do yourself a lot of good by educating me on the tours of your candidate and what he's been up to in the past 4 years in preparation for this forthcoming election. I just told you about my candidate and how prepared he is.

You seem not to understand his person. He's not desperate but has been travelling the world understudying models that can be adapted to Nigeria.That's preparation bro.The guy current die...doesn't need big girama to pass his message.

It's like you're oblivious of his tour around the 36states before any of the other major contenders.You can update yourself with that bro.

He isn't a noise maker and he is easy to market despite the burden of being Igbo.

donbrowser:
You're making the same mistake. All over and over again.

Fast forward to post primary election. Asiwaju has visited virtually all the presidential aspirants that competed against him to seek their support so they can work together as a team. He knows these people hold blocs or voters which will be useful for his agenda.

You mentioned Obi, how has he prepared for presidency since he lost the election in 2019?

If not for bias, I expected you to see consistency in what he's been saying even when he wasn't vying for any post.

The average Nigerian politician is a different person in an election year and shouldn't be taken serious.

That said,
What other better way do you prepare for an election. If not consistently proffering solutions before election and sustaining it?
It's not every one that gets a "structure" by inducing other thieves and calling it strategy or building networks.

He, Obi, has been preparing by engaging Youths and intellectuals for years.You can go to Lagos Business School and ask about him.

He is not your regular devious politician but very strategic.

Ask yourself why the third force and intellectuals/youths across Nigeria are rooting for him without him giving us a dime.

donbrowser:
You're sharing 2016 video where this man was invited to talk. How does ghat relate to preparing for 2023 general elections?

Atleast hin followers must do something na.
We have seen the "City Boy" before and what should we do with him?

Or is this City Boy 2.0 in less than 2weeks?

This guy dey consistent... This Platform 2016.

Instead of APC/Tinubu slaves to face their fellow thieves in PDP they are busy wasting time attacking Peter Obi- wey no get their time.

That was during the military era.
Buhari and Idiagbon too were both Muslims.

We've left the past.Muslim-Muslim ticket is just a desperate move by APC - a party that knows Nigerians won't vote them.
Their only hope is get brainwashed northern Muslims whose only reason to vote is religion even if the fellow Muslim would Ganduje their money, it doesn't matter.

I don't like talking about what'd self-destruct itself.

I suggest A Tinubu/Gumi or Tinubu/Muric combo.

All these armchair analysts living in the past.

You think it's before that people are disinterested in voting.
Make una dey bank on gullible market women.

Now wey pipu eyes don tear reach ear, wey employers dey give employees day off to go register, undergraduates dey para...somebody dey talk old story.

Kikikiki... They are trying to dampen the spirit of the resolute electorate by saying it's not possible BUT OBIdient followers no send una.
Call us dunce or Dundee,ko kan wa

If becoming free from APC+PDP is what it takes to be a "dunce", we love it.

I can never forget this line:

Idamu yin sese bere

Na so we go drag the APC/PDP snakes wey dey Nigeria tyre.
Na dem no allow our nation move forward

Short answer...
I learnt long time ago that the more mature you are, the simpler you communicate ideas .

Mature people have fewer words to explain difficult concepts.

APC shouldn't forget to add it to their achievements.
They claim they don't have money but they can afford 100m to buy presidential forms.
No money but only one person stole about 170billion naira.
Nigerian students you have the power to retire these politicians.

Abeg neva loud am yet...leave them.

Why??
Do you know how many people die everyday?

This is part of what I read this morning in Matthew 16:24-26 NLT

24Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. 25If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. 26And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?l Is anything worth more than your soul?

Sunofgod:


I'm jittery...

Like I said, we need not divulge somethings.But it'd be funny to think only Catholics would vote Obi in Sokoto.

Again who told you Sokoto is 95% Muslim?

All I can tell you is these "realities" are mere perceptions. This has always been the permutations of the main political parties but things are shifting. The illusion that all Muslims in Sokoto would vote the Sultan's candidate would be cured.

Let's not be hasty.At least we have about 8months to prove whether it's social media noise and business as usual.

Just Calm down..in the past many analysts never believed you'll make calls from the farthest part of the earth and the other person receives the call in realtime.
But they've been proven wrong today.


Today's success was once yesterday's impossibility.
It is more than possible to retire these few politicians boasting of phantom "structures".
Imagine a structure that is only "oiled" once every 4years during primaries is what they are threatening determined/angry Nigerians with.

TooNoisy:
So let us take your example and let's see how realistic it is.

1. Matthew Kukah is a Catholic Bishop in a State where Muslims make up 95% of the population. So in the unlikely event that he says Sokoto people should support Peter Obi, it makes very little difference.

2. Secondly, Matthew Kukah is a religious leader who will not publicly endorse anyone. He will not put his entire career on the line for Peter Obi especially in a very sensitive place like Sokoto. You don't want another religious riot.

If Peter Obi needs endorsement from a religious or traditional ruler in Sokoto,it will be the Sultan and there is a zero percent chance of that happening. How will he win Sokoto, Kano, Borno. How will he convince Ooni of Ife, Alalke of Egba to endorse him.

All this crazy Peter Obi love is only on Twitter. Your so-called crazy support is mainly from Igbos and a fee Yorubas in Lagos. No one will abandon Tinubu in Osun or Oyo or Ekiti. You guys need to be realistic. The entire South South is still firmly a stronghold of PDP. And you guys have only 7 months.

Ita not by online gra gra. These are real hurdles that cannot be surmounted.

Ok

Wa gbayii...atleast APC/Northern has zoned it to the South.They should leave the south to decide what to do with the ticket too.

joyandfaith:
In the wake of speculations in the media that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC may field a Yoruba-Yoruba ticket in the 2023 presidential election, People of Nigeria have urged the media to set aside tribe from politics and governance in Nigeria.

Hungry people while speaking on the issue on Channels TV’s political show, Politics Today, stated that the media should be on the lookout for competence, capacity, capability, and deilivery and not tribe.

They said, “I don’t think we should be looking at tribe. We want to develop this country. When we get into a plane, we don’t ask about the tribe of the pilot. When we go to the hospital, we don’t ask for the doctor’s tribe of the doctor, we just want to get well. We just want to get to our destination when in an aircraft.

“The way the media and many irresponsible people try to inject tribe into politics and governance is sad and pathetic, and will not take us anywhere.

They described as sad and pathetic, what they termed as fixation of Nigerians with tribe instead of competence and delivery.

“Nigeria is at the crossroads. We face very serious dangers in security and economic meltdown. Global issues are affecting us and all people are concerned with as far as who will be President I or Vice President is concerned is tribe. It’s so sad.

“It’s not our tribe that will solve our problems. It’s the people, who are competent, that will address Nigerians’ problems, unite this country, and put it on a progressive path,” he added.


They said, “We don’t engage in endless speculation. The candidate will choose his running mate. He will evaluate many factors, and the best we can do is to give him space and time and advise him and guide him to make the right choice.”

When asked how the APC yoruba-yoruba ticket would sit with Nigerians, hungry people said they didn’t look at the issue from the perspective of yoruba-yoruba or fulani-fulani or igbo- igbo.

“We don’t think the business of governance has to do with tribe. We think we should look for the best person for the job and the person that will get the job done.

Great write-up but situations throwup leaders .What is happening now if maintained will shock the career politicians.
Whatever party structure means to Nigerian politicians, it's
still about loyal people.
Many people supporting LP are doing it because of one man-Peter Obi.They aren't doing it because of money and the passion is crazy.

For instance, in Sokoto, all he needs is Matthew Kukah to instruct his members to support a fellow Catholic.
I don't belong to the Catholic church but I know they have societies within the church that can organize stuffs for him.

Many things are in the offing bro...not all can be divulged.
Those underrating Peter Obi are free to continue living on past glory.
We understand our enemies very well and we don't underestimate them.

You should have known that el-rufai talks without thinking.
Let him continue to dare Christians

Because our politicians made it so.
But this election will shock them

Unfortunately, it's Christians in the north that they usually attack.If those yeye terrorists attack mosques as frequently as they attack Christians, they(Muslims) would have jointly fought BOKO Haram to a standstill

Tomek09:
The audacity to attack innocent people both at their home region North and South is why I don't feel any pity whenever they're attacked by bandit or BH. Very heartless and barbaric people. Islam did a lot of damage to Northerners by making them violent and fanatical with no exposure and civility. Spits
