Beer parlour talks....run along

AutoConsult:
Yen yen yen. You should probably update yourself. Fact he's ashamed to withdraw the petition doesn't mean he still sees a way in it. Nigga knows it's dead on arrival. That's why his lawyers are putting all their hope in disqualifying Asiwaju. You lots are pathetic bunch of losers. You keep chasing shadows😂😂

Hopefully Tinubu is sacked tomorrow

Tinubu is not desirable, he is too corrupt.

richmond500:
so u believe Pat Utomi will rather chose Obi instead of Tinubu.

See who is calling me gullible

What was Atiku’s performance in Adamawa and NE? Atiku is not popular, the PDP structure helped him!

rayven101:
Buhari lost his presidential bid 3 times before he finally won in 2015, the foundation of your assumptions does not make room for proper judgement.
There is no history that suggests Atiku wouldn't have won.

In this day and age, you cannot read a simple petition. You rely on what people say who also rely on what other says. Pathetic!

AutoConsult:
But your principal is not in court to contest the result na😂😂 He just wants Tinubu disqualified 😂

Obi Obi Obi Obi Obi....everyday.

Una nor dey tire?

Mike1stSon:
As much as I’d like to hold Obi responsible for the presently manifest outcome of the last election which is still unfolding, the multidimensional and evidential thinker in me simply cannot agree with that conclusion and I think some people are only seeing it in one way.

Two things can sometimes be true and in this case, they are that yes, Obi split the opposition votes and yes, Bola Tinubu rigged the election heavily, especially in the North, and directly against Atiku. The evidence is very strong in the second regard: 11 states were strongly manipulated to give Tinubu a foothold and weaken Atiku. We know what we saw in the North ahead of the election but this outcome plays strongly into the second best option of some Northerners: a Muslim/Muslim presidency, hence the silence. The APC Governors played a strong role also in the manipulations that happened.

The easier pathway to victory for Atiku would have been a United opposition ticket, this is the first dimension and in that regard, Obi in the race, weakened Atiku.

The second dimension can however not be ignored: the North had a stake and the North went all out on that stake but Bola Tinubu by political deals, induced the APC Governors in the North to enforce rigging. Kano for instance did not give Kwankwaso the alleged votes recorded for him by INEC: his candidacy was not strong enough even in the state and his alleged voters are not zombies - Atiku won more votes there than were recorded by INEC. Even in Borno State, Atiku was way ahead.

I know it may look convenient for now to hold Obi responsible and I agree his absence from that contest would have been the easier path to victory for PDP but was there a pathway around the hurdle that he constituted? Yes, there was. And we saw it: in a contest of SE vs SW vs North, there could only be one outcome.

So what happened to that pathway? Tinubu rigged it. Simple.

This then is also part of his gameplay: this “Atiku lost because Obi was in the race” - it’s part of it. Obi did not take one vote from Atiku in the North, even Kwankwaso could not - the North was clear on its direction, and pressure was applied behind the scene. The APC Governors however negotiated their pathway differently with Tinubu and allowed the margins to be closed up by manipulation.

It was to Tinubu’s benefit that Obi should be in play - it served the narrative to cover his rigging efforts. It was to Tinubu’s benefit to appear weak and promote the idea that a Tinubu Presidency could become a Shettima Presidency. Tinubu’s strongest play was however to rig the election and he did. Obi was merely used as a cover pawn to hide the real game plan.

In any case, until all evidence is brought forward and examined at the Presidential Election Petitions Court, I think any analysis now is being done in a vacuum of incomplete knowledge of things that happened in the places of power; an eagerness to disparage Obi’s populist wave and perhaps also to reinforce Tinubu’s genius which at best, was a crude and evil one.

The debt that he now owes for that assumed genius is restricted not only to APC Governors but one in PDP who bankrolled the compromise of the electoral umpire.

This analysis however prompts a question of why some of us backed Atiku despite what we saw as an ethnic contest and the answer is in the man himself and his nationalist disposition. Between a Bola Tinubu of the same ethnicity but likely held hostage by a Northern cabal and an Atiku of Northern roots but nationalist disposition - the choice was a no-brainer.

Obi was at worst a footnote in that election; or at best, a convenient pawn in Tinubu’s gameplay. We’ll have time enough in the future to dissect these things.

Exclusive101:
During the just-concluded elections, politicians and their supporters used social media to manipulate public opinion, either by deliberately spreading false information or misrepresenting information to suit certain narratives.

Most times, they either spread fake news about candidates and their parties or manipulate discussions and existing data to earn support and sympathy for their favourites.

A viral post claimed that Ayo Adebanjo, leader of Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-political group, said the Igbos should be allowed to secede if Nigerians do not want an Igbo man to rule the country.

“Nigerians want Peter Obi to be their president by voting for him. If INEC dares to rig the election, Nigerians should protest seriously for international communities to intervene. If you don’t want Igboman to rule Nigeria, then allow them go with Biafra,” reads the quote attributed to Ayo Adebanjo.

The post was shared by one Igbo History on Twitter. It garnered 1.9k likes, 481 comments and was shared 387 times.

This post was amplified by 29 Facebook pages using copy-pasting techniques and sharing the same images. These accounts are part of a network of accounts that share IPOB propaganda and disinformation.

On Twitter, this post claim was first shared by an account, @UmuezeokaTV

Findings by TheCable showed that there was no mention of the venue or date where the elder statesman made the remark. No credible news medium in the country also reported the claim

On January 22, an account named @UzomaPreciousF1(archive) claimed that Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), said every other presidential candidate ignores him whenever they see him, but Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), always greets him.

“Whenever other presidential candidates see me, they will ignore me as nobody because I have no money. Peter Obi always walks to me to greet me anytime he sees me. Even though he is my opponent, I will not deny the fact that he is a humble man. – Omoyele Sowore,” the quote claimed.

The account said Obi’s action shows that he is a humble man.

The post has over 151,000 views, 1,302 retweets, and 5,297 likes.

This claim was amplified by a network of accounts with 9 Twitter accounts sharing original content and 1443 accounts retweeting the content. Of the 9 accounts, 3 were created in 2022.

You're too gullible!

So you believe Pat Utomi collected money from Tinubu? You guys are extremely gullible!

richmond500:
It's not the fact that Obi was used.
My problem is that u guys still haven't seen the fact that u were used.

This is what nollywood called "a phantom use-ment" a way of using someone that even after been used, he still couldn't come to the conclusion that he was used.

Imagine Tinubu strong business Ally was thesame person that was funding LP campaign.

Will also be the first president to be sacked by the courts

Tinubu wey no well?

dapadawee:
Obi is coming but where he is going I don't know but not Aso rock.
You don't know Nigeria. I will try to help you little. To know Nigeria you must know to actors. The past actors the present actors and the future actors. To know the actors go and search the names of those that attended dangote refinery inauguration. Sit down and divide them into 3 group the present, past and future then you will know where Obi, Akitu, Tinubu belong. Obi is a past rebranded actor, Atiku is a past with limited present role actor. and Tinubu is the past present and future gladiator

Use your head! Tinubu paid Mahmmud to alter the results, shutdown irev, etc. Without Mahmmud and his gangs of compromised RECS, tinubu wouldn't have seen 3 million votes

favor914:
What a stupid statement to make, you are saying that it is INEC that rigged the elections, and not APC & Tinubu the declared winners?

And you expect to go to a Court of competent jurisdiction in the country of the fantastically corrupt & win based on your claims that the election was rigged by the umpire, not by one of the contestants?

Stop being a simp, get another babe or another wife. Or divorce her and marry a woman that will make you happy. Life is too short.

You put a woman at home yet cannot get regular sex why sungle guys without women at home have sex 4 times a week. What an irony!

Nation1:
Hello people,

Am married for 6 years with two kids. Some months ago, my wife started denying sex so much that we hardly have 2 times in a month. Because of this, I no longer disturb her this days cos it's better to let her be than to be rejected since most times I expected her to say no or give an excuse or the other which am always about 90 percent right about.

This days, I don't feel attracted to her sexually anymore. I have never cheated on her but this days, the thought of doing so is gradually creeping in. Have tried talking to her about this but no change. I don't want to start what extra marital affair but am tempted to.

I need your advise guys.

You're neither here nor there. INEC rigged the election. The court will do the needful and you guys will then stop parading INEC mutilated results

NzogbuNzogbu:
atiku presidence in 2019 was because he joined the second largest party that was alternative to apc not because of obi

Atiku was bond to win because the SS/SE was always a sealed PDP block with the sharing of north with tinubu which he got most of his votes from that placed him above obi

Run along...this is more than your processing capacity. Remain gullible!

LagosG:
Do you have any idea how stupid you sound?

Pest!

On data, off brain

The rise would be worth the fall! Its coming alright

fuckJones:
from tinubu will not win primary to tinubu will not win general election to tinubu will not be swear in to tinubu will be remove.
obituary are the most confused followers

Lamidi Apapa, Calistus Okafor...is it not because of the tribunal case? It is what it is.

TonyeBarcanista:
At this point, any conversation on the 2023 general election except update from the ongoing courts and Tribunal cases will amount to flogging a dead horse.

Why didn't Atiku win in 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019?

There's no precedence that suggest Atiku would have won. Atiku’s performance in 2019 was because of Obi, his running mate. You do understand Obi contested with LP without structure, right?

Obaaderemi2:
Without obi Atiku would have won.

Obj declared public holidays frivolously just to frustrate Atiku's case then...

Parachoko:
On what basis will he declare a Public Holiday? Buhari wey no send anybody

The Supreme Court will give the same kind of judgement the FHC and COA gave on this case

Stop deceiving yourself. Mahmmud rigged Tinubu in. Without Obi, it would have been easier to rig Tinubu in but now, there are a lot of evidence to remove Tinubu.

He will be removed for sure!

spagettiluv:
obi pave way for tinubu

We're countering APC propaganda anywhere there's likely to be huge presence. Nor vex!

Regarding Keyamo, he is dishonest to enjoy the office then after the fact say its unconstitutional

TonyeBarcanista:
How does this relate with Keyamo or Ministerial posting?

First a mad man was causing nuisance in a plane shouting Obidient. APC propaganda.

Second, they created phamtom forgery charge against Abure....to no avail.

Third, they hacked Obi's call and doctored it about a religious war....imagine a private conversation.

Fourth..they went to Washington DC to accuse Obi of treason

Fifth, they brought Lamidi Apapa from nowhere to cause confusion ..it failed.

Sixth, they brought a kangaroo judgment from Kano sacking all LP elected officials in Kano and Abia...it failed woefully.

Seven they brought Calistus Okafor since Apapa has failed.

Calistus is not gaining traction so they wanna bring Tinubu funding.

These people know that Obi is coming!

Mahmmud did, not Obi!

Okoroawusa:
I don't know about the funding part but what I know is that Peter Obi made Tinubu the president of Nigeria.

You are wasting your time if you are arguing it.

Nonsense propaganda!

They need to mention Obi to sell newspapers.

Clearly the writeup is about Obi but they don't wanna be seen as one-sided so they mention Atiku and Amoda

I'm not saying I believe it. I'm saying if there was any likelihood that Bubu wants to do it, he can no longer do it. Its called preemptive move.

Anyways, I don't think the Supreme Fraud will invalidate Shettima's nomination but it would make Nigerians happy if the drug baron ia stopped.

Parachoko:
No bullsh!t wey una no fit believe smh

You can see that people like Keyamo lack integrity!

After benefitting drop the position of minister of state, he came to condemn it as unconstitutional at the end of the appointment. What a fraud!

Make we hear word!
