You guys keep saying ADC will not give their ticket to Obi but Atiku because Obi can't win the primaries of ADC. If that is the case, shouldn't you guys be focusing on Atiku?
helinues: This question is not directed at the Obidients as I won't get the sincere expected response.
Considering the lies told by Peter Obi, the contradiction of his own past statements severally and his incoherency to important questions regarding how to solve Nigeria economy all in just 2 years which most have videos. Imagine when asked how to solve the power issue in Nigeria, Peter Obi responded with how he gifted cars to the politicians during one of the APGA campaign or so
How would they sell such kind of person to Nigerians when it's not that he's doing anything new apart from repetition of his past actions
So you don't know you ought to put Obi as number 1? You dey ment?
DrMB: When ex-governors, ex-ministers, and ex-candidates crowd under one roof, it’s never just strategy, it’s a cocktail of ambition, grudges, and clashing egos. They’re not just uniting to win, they’re each hoping to lead. Welcome to ADC’s high-stakes coalition, 25 political heavyweights, one crowded throne.
Sp this is a confirmation that Obi wasnt attending meetings from the beginning?
You actually do not deserve a response[quote author=stuffs2002 post=136061105]Una too dey lie.... That is why no one trust you people because no one trust a liar.
Here is David Hundeyin as late as 28th of June, 2025 blasting Peter Obi for not coming out to show his intensions about the coalition.
Former Presidential Aide, Reno Omokri has said that it is very unlikely for the former Anambra Governor, Mr Peter Obi to secure the ticket of the new ADC coalition.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is positioning itself as a neutral political platform for key contenders seeking to challenge Tinubu.
You're talking nonsense. The coalition wasn't built by Atiku but collectives including Obi who has attended almost every meeting.
Above all, the most important work is the one being done by Obi in visiting the IDP camps, Nursing schools, Almajiris, building boreholes, why Atiku visit politicians.
Without Obi, the coalition is dead on arrival and you know it
stuffs2002: OBIDIENTS always like to reap where they did not sow.
Obi did not contribute anything to the coalition and yet his OBIDIENTS want everything to be handed over to Obi on a platter of gold. Atiku has been using his resources like money, influence and connections to pull other politicians to forma the coalition while Obi has been galivanting upandan contributing nothing yet his OBIDIENTS are attacking Atiku for daring to contest in the primary.
* Where was Obi when Atiku and others were spending money and renting venues and paying for logistics? * Where was Obi when Atiku and others were traveling all over the country attracting other politicians to join the coalition? * Where was Obi when Atiku and others were making efforts at INEC and forming the ADC? * Where was Obi when Atiku and others were having sleepless nights organising meetings deep into the night just to ensure the coalition comes to fruition?
Peter Obi did not contribute anything to the emergence of the coalition only came in at the eleventh hour and his horde of OBIDIENTS are angry with Atiku just because they asked everyone to contest in the primary.
Obi is not a SE candidate but a Nigerian one. The CPC block should back Obi because without Obi there's no coalition.
Mentioning Obi as vp to Atiku is a disgusting abomination, please don't mention it again. If Atiku feels he has the wherewithal to defeat Tinubu, let him choose Amaechi as VP.
Obi will run for the president of the federal republic of Nigeria.
In 2023, Obi won 12 states, Atiku won 12 states even with PDP structures.
Peter Obi as the concensus presidential candidate of the coalition is non-negotiable
kmst: This message is for those that care to consider non-emotional approach to 2027. Has anyone noticed how BAT has used state apparatus to penetrate PO base in the SS? BAT has cornered SS leaders already, they won't fight for obi even if APC wants to steal their votes for BAT and definitely online tweets won't be able to fight them. They will flood military and police (ofcos it only happens in the south all the time, and they get away with it)
SE is on their own as far as South and the equation is concerned right now. There's no sugar coating it anymore for those who want the truth. BAT will rather die than release presidency to someone from the SE! He is not GEJ that let buhari take it without fighting back with state powers. Only a northerner can challenge that political power right now. Look around you, even the SE leaders are dinning with BAT just out of fear and intimidation because I don't want to believe it's money.
South-easterners will have to be pragmatic to swallow the bitter pill and allow OBi deputize Atiku ATiku with backing of CPC bloc will flood the core north and those votes there will be hardest to rig cos they will fight for it unlike if it is OBi as the flagbearer. It is simple no one fights for another man's right especially Nigerians. North will fight for what is their own! (Don't blame them)
Kenneth okwonko was also saying same thing. In as much as Obi is a better personality and the best, Nigeria is not an ideal system for the best to compete at least not for now. How many people make it through merit in Nigeria even outside the political arena? Talk less of the dirty politics Nigeria practices! Think!
Some PO supporters like me won't mind, even the online warriors shouting Obi or nothing will bend with time before 2027.
The way some are thinking is that PO can make normal Nigerians really come out and vote for him but what they fail to digest is the fact that BAT and inec will not allow an ideal system for their votes to count for PO! You need an old horse like Atiku on the ticket even if he is a necessary evil!
There are no two ways out for PO APC is trying to deceive him to resigning from the coalition if he doesn't get the ticket, they are only massaging his ego to use that as a weapon. PO doesn't have the grassroot political structure to curb and oppose rigging that happens in the rural areas and that's where the elections are won. Enlightened Nigerians will vote in mass but in the end their votes won't count cos we will all go back to X to be shouting at inec when inec has already cooked in BAT (at 3am) already.
It happened in the last election, they called it glitch They will do it again! They have just done another one in Edo...
PO chance will be after 4yrs of Atiku,he needs to make sure they work together to get the right reforms in Inec before Atiku hands over, and he will win cos I know they will obviously do better than Tinubu and PMB so Nigerians will at large vote for him. That is the only time a clean person like Obi (a son of no man ) can win a national election in Nigeria without the cabal.
It will not and cannot happen when BAT and INec is still functioning in this manner. They will split SS votes seriously... Rivers results last election will be child play in 2027 for the whole of SS I'm not even going to consider anything from SW cos they will go all out to kill anyone for BAT in that region in 2027 no jokes. Also Middle belt they will do everything to rig it for BAT.
The only person that can win right now is someone with an unbroken base which is why Atiku is doing so much to gather buhari's CPC from the north. Whatever crumbs fall from the table of the south will make coalition winner with this approach.
Boss mustapha has said the obvious but some emotional beings are arguing it out. Once you have a strong northern candidate, an alliance with any part of the south be it SW or SS or SE will win you the elections. Buhari failed always because neither SE nor SW or SS ever supported him with block votes in all those times. He won in 2015 not necessarily because of SW,(Fgs how many votes does SW ever give to a presidential candidate historically? It shows in every other national elections) If he(PMB) had gotten a strong alliance with any other southern region he would have gotten the needed votes to win.
If you combine block votes of SE and block votes of Northern block, added with crumbs from other regions, any other person is toast in the elections. It is simple arithmetic! Not emotions. What the coalition should solidy on is the recent hate on BAT by the north they should work to make sure they really heat everything up there against BAT and it is done deal.
PO will be president, yes I believe so but whether it is now or never depends on his choice today with the coalition!
dequir: Atiku, Tinubu, and Obi are all birds of the same black feathers seeking and using power to enrich themselves, and their generations. They are never for the suffering masses, therefore I am not for anyone of them. But I am only depicting to you the stark political reality standing against your empty boast.
Peter Obi as the concensus presidential candidate of the coalition is non-negotiable
Sannisege: Assuming LP and NNPP collapsed into PDP, then that would have been a serious coalition not this one that’s full of Atiku supporters and Tinubu haters.
With these obstacles, shouldn't you be happy? Why are you bothered about Obi and you never talk about Atiku
dequir: Obi has a lot at stakes against him. At LP, Abure is a big obstacle for him to overcome to become their presidential candidate. At ADC, Atiku is another eminent obstruction to him winning the party consensus mandate as the presidential face.
So let him overcome these before you start boasting of him winning Tinubu at the election.
You're looking for excuse to cheat. If you think only the North can produce the president, you've got another think coming
ogascomax: A precedence has been set already that was while we were begging Tinubu not to suspend Sim Fubara because a precedence have been set. When an unruly president comes to power one day Lagos State will be in trouble.
Buhari asked Mahmmud to make sure Tinubu wins 3days to election. This is insider knowledge
seunmsg: Very funny people. When it is convenient, they blame Tinubu for fostering Buhari on Nigerians. When it is not convenient, they turn around and claim he has no contribution in bringing Buhari to power. We all know how many times Buhari contested and lost before Tinubu came to his rescue.
Whatever the case, Tinubu proved his capacity and influence by making himself president the first time he contested. His 2023 victory without the active support of Buhari and his cabals has laid to rest any further argument about Tinubu capacity.
As a core supporter of Obidients Movement, H.E Peter Obi and as Ada Anambra State, I THINK it will be wise we Unitedly, collectively and collaboratively rally with, for and behind ATIkU's Presidency in and towards this 2027 General Election.
From the Analysis Kenneth Okonkwo gave, I think it will be a great strategy we obidients and other meaningful Nigerians support H.E Atiku to remove this calamity called APC that has brought extreme Hardship, Hunger, Insecurity, etc
However, I will advise his H.E Peter Obi not to deputize Atiku but fully support Atiku's candidacy. Rotimi Amaechi should Deputize Atiku on this one, then in 2031 we (Obidients, well meaning Nigerians and Peter Obi) will go again knowing fully well the POWER OF INCUMBENT is solidly behind Peter Obi. Since H.E Atiku has always clamoured and proposed to do just one term in times past, nevertheless, this agreement must be written, signed and upheld by all parties and stakeholders of this coalition. We don't even know the agreement Peter Obi, Atiku and the stakeholders have initially agreed BEFORE COMING TOGETHER under ADC.
This will also solidify our relationship with the Northerners who have the numbers (and never forgets) and the South, most especially the Easterners and other meaningful Nigerians of other regions that have the momentum and wants/needs this APC of setbacks, Hunger and Hardship, Insecurity, etc to be removed even if they make Seyi Tinubu INEC chairman. This setbacks, Hunger, Hardship, Insecurity, etc affects all TRIBES, RELIGIONS & REGIONS without exception.
Just like one monicker here on nairaland always and jokingly says "Any party to remove this APC is a welcome development even if it's a Birthday Party"
Read below (with open-mindset) the Analysis by Kenneth Okonkwo especially the last 2 paragraphs and share your thoughts in the comment section below.
POLITICAL ANALYSIS BY KENNETH OKONKWO ON 2027 GENERAL ELECTION
A Labour Party (LP) chieftain, Kenneth Okonkwo, has stated that his support for the 2027 presidency is for a northern candidate to contest against President Bola Tinubu. Okonkwo, who served as a spokesperson for the Peter Obi/Ahmed Baba-Datti presidential campaign organization in the 2023 elections, warned that fielding a southern candidate against Tinubu in 2027 would make it easy for the President to clinch a second term.
The actor cum politician however added that the northern candidate the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and coalition leaders would present for 2027, must be qualified for the position and have the support of the entire northern region.
He submitted that he doesn’t mind if former Vice President Atiku Abubakar emerges as long as he meets the requirement and has the support of the northern region.
“My strategy this time around is that I am going to support a northerner in 2027.
“It must be a northerner that the whole north is willing to support.
“If the whole north is willing to support an Atiku, why not?
“The person must be qualified, and if he has experience in the presidency, it is an added advantage, and when he puts up something from the south, that will push him through,” Okonkwo said on Channels Television’s Politics programme on Tuesday.
Okonkwo submitted that Peter Obi or any Southerner can’t win the 2027 election BECAUSE it will be STOLEN from such a person.
He alleged that Obi won the 2023 election, but he was robbed.
He insisted that since the APC is presenting Tinubu to be its flag bearer, the opposition coalition must present a northerner to CHALLENGE him.
According to him, the POWER of incumbency is a significant factor in Nigeria’s politics.
“Anybody telling you it’s injustice if the north comes in or if the south comes in, and whoever wins in a primary election in this coalition will take it for four years. Where is the injustice? It has happened before.
“Anybody telling you to bring a fresh southerner to compete against Tinubu who is a southerner, is trying to tell you to zone the ticket to Tinubu and Tinubu will win outright.
“If you bring somebody from the Southeast, even if he wins, they will steal it from him.
“Let me tell you the strategy that will make the Southeast man to be president. Do you know the South-West has never contested an election against an incumbent? Because they know that in Nigeria, if you don’t have the establishment supporting you, even if you win, they will steal it from you.
“Peter Obi won the election in 2023, and they stole it from us. If you do it again, they will steal it from him because there is no incumbent to back you, but if you bring somebody from the north, nobody will prevail on him to leave his victory because he is not from the same side as you,” he said.
If Obi is fielded against Tinubu, it will be a landslide victory for Obi.
No Northerner has won Tinubu in Lagos since 1999, Obi did it with a landslide. Obi got about 1 million votes that was suppressed to 530k. He did this with a small party.
Apart from Lagos, Obi won the South convincingly
onatisi: noone is afraid of obi , but the politics at each time determines who the elites will support. If Obi is fielded against tinubu, he will lose. it is better to use a northerner who will give the northerners enough confidence to vote against tinubu. If Obi is fielded against tinubu, the north will vote for tinubu rather than Obi
Would you rather face Atiku or Obi?you guys should be happy with this news
omenka: These people are still wallowing in their endless hallucinations. Nobody would give the lazy man the ticket. He will contest for it, and by God, he'd lose again.
Clearly, you lack comprehension. Appointed by Abacha in what capacity?Hope you know Buhari was a minister under Abacha?
WesleyPepper: There’s no documented evidence anywhere . Rather, there are still videos even here on nairaland where the ‘lying one’ claimed he was appointed by Abacha .
Obi clarified this in his last interview that he'll remove the corruption therein and know how much is left. If the subsidy is small after removing subsidy, he might continue it
raumdeuter: Good question but I am sure they will lie or dribble around the question
All the major candidates last election in 2023 said they will remove subsidy
Some will say I will return subsidy but when asked how will govt function that is when they will start rambling
Whatever they say, Ask them to swear by Bible, Koran or better still Ayelala
Now that you've seen documented evidence, wont you stop crying?
WesleyPepper: This guy has said different versions of this story in the space of 6 months . This flip flopping pathological liar should stop disturbing us Abeg . Nobody help gun to your skull when you claimed you were appointed by Abacha only for you to make 360 degrees to give us another two different versions in the space of a week
GEJ is not the standard. Since a southerner is there, the south has to complete two terms before going to the North.
You're just looking for excuse to cheat.
ogascomax: It's not being clever by half there. Who removed him, like they just took him away from office. He lost an election. He contested an election with the Northerner and lost when it was their turn. So the Northerner has the right to contest so that they can lost too.
Peter Obi or nothing. When APC emerged, everybody knew Buhari was gonna be the presidential candidate, the primary was to fulfill all righteousness.
We want same for Obi is by far the most popular in the coalition and we nor dey give shishi
VladimirTheGrea: There's nothing in politics that's non-negotiable. Obi knows that in a coalition without a primary likely, he may not emerge which will amount to distraction if he wasn't involved in the first place.
