He will do well because there's precedence.

When a good and competent person is voted in, the country benefits. Obi is a billionaire so if you say you're not voting for him thinking you're doing him then you're naive

obembet:
If you are so sure, why can't you swear on his behalf say he go do well

Bubu set Osinbajo up after slaving for him for 7yrs

If you don't vote Obi, you think you're doing him?

obembet:
If Peter Obi can swear with god of iron (Ogun), I will vote am... If not.. I keep my voters card for house...

Any of his supporters can so swear on his behalf since una trust him so much.

This would be tough for Atiku.

Kingibe is no former or future vice president

AntiMahdi:
Kingibe and Tinubu are paddies.

The recognition of June 12 by the FG and posthumous recognition of MKO as president was lobbied by Kingibe who now has the undeserved title as former VP and CON.

The same Aboki that betrayed Abiola is now enjoying his stolen mandate posthumously while you plebs where praising Buhari.

Sense has fled the south waist and south yeast.

Why do we Igbos need to respond to every dog barking?

This is political season, Obi need Ijaw votes.
You know Igbos as far more so no point arguing with him

Oplomo:
LOL..Dem dey count meat, kpomo dey raise hand.

Creek dwelling rats feeling funky.

Nigeria needs Peter Obi at a time like this!

You cannot claim to wish Nigeria well but vote for a candidate you don't believe in - Osinbajo

Nigeria needs Peter Obi at a time like this

You so-called Christians are too docile.

Will the Muslims accept Christian-Christian ticket?

The Bible says right from the days of John the Baptist the kingdom of God suffereth violence and the VIOLENTS taketh it by force

Freedom34:
As for me, yesterday I was a christian, today I'm a christian.... tomorrow I'll still be a christian but I'd rather vote a Muslim wey get sense than a bigotic hate-filled semi-lunatic half demon-half human 'fellow-christian' all in d guise of 'Christianity.'

God bless Nigeria!

You're ignorant. You equate Igbo votes to SE votes.

How many Igbo people around where you live?

Moferere:
What's the electoral value of the entire SE

Igbos are upto 30% of Lagos population.

TheCeasar:
lol even the Igbos in Lagos aren't up to 1 million, the one with pvc are less than 500k.. APC ain't worried

True but Tinubu supporters want the Christians to accept Muslim-Muslim ticket but the North are not willing to compromise first, choosing a Northerner and second a northern muslim.

So they take us for 2nd class citizens? Insofar they'd not allow Christian-Christian ticket, we ourselves shouldn't accept Muslim-Muslim ticket. If we accept it now, it becomes the norm

PassingShot:
I don't know any northern Christian who can sincerely get him enough votes in the north, especially the core north. Politics is about playing your best card to win.

Are there no northern Christian that Tinubu can choose from? Will you allow a Christian-Christian ticket?

Una think say na only una wise!

PassingShot:
I have read a lot of people saying "no to Muslim-Muslim ticket" even before Asiwaju emerged. Now that he has emerged as the standard bearer of APC with Atiku as the major challenge to him, I wonder why a Muslim-Muslim ticket of Tinubu presidency is not better than a return of the presidency to north possibly for another eight years after 8 years of PMB.

Like or loathe APC, it has demonstrated being a truly progressive party by standing with a return of the presidency to the South even after Atiku had emerged as PDP's candidate. PDP damned everything common sense by making Atiku emerge with possibility of keeping the presidency in the north and a lot of people seem not to care because PDP is doing what they need to do to win the election without considering fairness and equity.

I am strongly convinced that when the time comes, majority of voters will side with an APC' Muslim-Muslim ticket which returns presidency to the south and reject a Muslim-Christian ticket which keeps the presidency to the north for another eight years to make it 16 straight years of Northern dominance.


Let's vote for these two options:

Like this post if you think a Muslim-Muslim ticket of APC is a fairer bargain.

Share if you think a Muslim-Christian ticket of PDP which keeps the presidency in the north is a fairer deal.

The fact that you're focusing on Obi is telling. You're focusing on the threat but living in denial

shigishege:
You know I'm just wondering, about the 5% south east votes that has been further divided by APGA, APC, PDP, and LP?? Because most of Eastern governors and leaders won't work for Obi in 2023. Most of them have already swear thier loyalty with Tinubu. See how everything went down during this primaries, even thier politician brothers are very tired and lost hope about Nigeria politics now. They have now resulted in supporting major contenders. VP is not even sure for them anymore.

Obi is on his own on this his journey.nhe will surely walk alone. Umahi, okorocha, uzodinma will work for APC. Egwanyi will work for PDP. Soludo will work for APGA. Who will work for Labour Party??

At least vote for someone with integrity like Obi even if you think he cant win. If everyone who thinks he can't win vote for him, he would win.

There are no factions, Obi labour party is the authentic one recognized by inec and Nigeria labour congress. Unless you're looking for excuse

MichaelSokoto:
LP can't win any of their 3 factional chairman's own polling unit, talkless of d whole south east, SW is same, north is no go area...

Pass my msg to whom it may concern

This is Nigeria, u better knw it like d back of ur hand.

No pun intended

So how come you want Tinubu to pick a northern Muslim? Because you know Northerners will not accept a northern Christian. Why are you pretending

IPIGMODS:
If you can field one and can convince the people to vote for them, who will prevent them from taking office? Has one ever been prevented from taking office before?
Going by history, the only such thing that ever happened were actually Muslims that were prevented from taking office after winning the election (Abiola). If he was a Christian, I can't imagine the kind of noise people like you will still be making till today.

Will the North allow capable Christian-Christian hands?

IPIGMODS:
The criminal Association of Nigeria CAN can cry all they want. What Nigeria needs are capable hands not religious hands.

So you can vote for Obi?

MichaelSokoto:
I will sleep taya on election day, can't waste my time 4 criminals!

Then so be it. PDP will not take Igbos for granted again!

SarkinYarki:
A huge statement to what extent?Abeg stop this nonsense, any vote for PO is an indirect vote for Jagaban..wake up

Na true you talk

otipoju:
Igbos are just too naive in politics. No be everything wey you get you must talk.

Just quietly mobilize your people to go register and come out enmasse on election day wit with one assignment only.

But na lie una must make noise shaaa ni.

If SW is secured for APC why are you guys preventing Igbos from registering at Ojo?

Igbos in Lagos are up to 30% of Lagos population.

helinues:
If Apc, Tinubu and SW as a region want to win the presidency, the Muslim-Muslim ticket is the only perfect combo cos I doubt if North will vote Christian VP or a female VP irrespective of Religion.

I watched Shettima speaking on Channels TV. He was able to pass his message maturely without throwing tantrum. He should be a good candidate for VP.

Shettima is from NE same as Atiku, as long as Buhari and co in NW will keep to their promises, NE votes would be shared. NC are the election deciders in Nigeria, SW have been maintaining their friendships with them.

Pdp and LP would share SE/SS votes, Apc should at least be gett6 25% from those 2 regions, SW is secured

Its been reported by many people with videos.

They are being chased not because of the number being overwhelming but thugs preventing them from registering in order not to influence the elections at least in Lagos.

This is condemnable! In 2019, thugs also prevented Igbos from voting at Okota

LegendHero:
Ibos too like trouble and noise making.

For Osun where we have the highest number of new registration in the South, we no hear any noise.

Why e be say na just one day wey they talk say they close Alaba, na then we come hear say they are getting disenfranchised?

So you can’t see it doesn’t look normal?

They were attacked lets tell ourselves thr truth. I expected that we should have moved beyond attacking people physically but do so with our votes. These guys attacking Igbos are looking for a way to start ethnic and tribal exchange.

I know Igbos tends to exaggerate some things but they'll not say what is blatantly false just to score cheap points. We saw this in 2019 elections in Lagos.

Lets call our people to order.

LegendHero:
Be like say you understand them. The drama that played out today was planned. It’s just a method to chestbeat and trend it that they are registering.

That’s why they don’t have strategy coz I can bet it that almost 85% of those that converge there won’t be able to register in one day looking at how swamped the INEC staffs would be.

Funds from Lagos as though it has anything to do with Lagos state govt or federal govt institutions like customs. Lagos state revenue is different from federal govt revenue from Lagos. Don't mix things up. Lagos state money is Lagos state money and federal govt money is federal govt money


Lagos state govt is operating an opaque system and refused to adopt FOI bill so they can continue to fund Tinubu/corruption

safesurfer:
Why do you think successive federal governments since 1999 don't bother to find out?
Funds generated from Lagos state is added to what NNPC brings to the table, which is then redistributed to other states as monthly allocation.

If Lagos state's request to be given special status is granted, then there'd have been no need to cover up whatever financial details they're hiding.

Nigeria needs Peter Obi at a time like this!

You're just defending corruption[Pquote author=horlando30 post=113643077]

I dont know how much he made in bonus as an accountant. And what he made as a private citizen is not my business. I only corrected your wrong assertion that "nobody can be paid millions of dollars in compensation". And you dont have to be a ceo to make that. Top Investment bankers, wall street traders, top surgeons, senior tech employees, sr managers/executives in top firms etc make that much and some of them Nigerians too. If you change your mentality and pull yourself up, maybe you can too![/quote]

His wife is a Christian just like Bubu's cook is a Christian wont fly insofar Muslims won't allow Christian Christian ticket.

Infact, North wont easily allow Muslim Christian ticket if the Christian is a Northerner.

You guys take the Christians for granted,
e go shock una this time

NaughtyBrainiac:
I am not a Christian but I expect the APC to field a Northern Christian. Nigerian is not owned by Muslims alone. I trust the APC to do the right thing.

As for my Christian brothers and Sisters, please note that Tinubu will never put Muslims ahead of Christians whe he becomes President.

He is nothing close to a religious bigot. His wife is a Christian. That his son (Seyi) who follows him about does not seem like a mulsim to me( maybe not a serious one ). I saw him eating Rite sausage roll in the afternoon at an event during the last Ramadan. Btw, he is such a humble guy.

In Tinubu's APC primaries acceptance speech, he said and I quote

" No Religion can eliminate the other"
"We should have Tolerance, Perseverance and Love"
"The hate you hate cannot cure your hunger"

God bless You
God bless our incoming President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

So what was Tinubu's position? The CEO?

You're defending corruption with all your might. Why did Lagos not localize the freedom of information act so how Lagos money is spent can be questioned.

horlando30:
Its not appropraite to confidently assert what you know little about. Managers and executives from top companies make millions in bonus(cash/stock) all the time. Even top senior employees in those companies make that much. Apple ceo was paid over $100m in compensation in 2021 alone. He is an employee an a billionaire in dollars.

Go and sit down...you think there's free money to throw around. Bonus cannot be what made him made millions. Whats his position? The CEO?

Bovis:
Most financial institutions in the world pays bonuses to their senior managers/executives if they exceed set targets - do your research bro and stop arguing blindly

North central and the Northern Christians will vote for him! These will be more than enough

BigDawsNet:
Peter Obi you can do it

SS to vote forr Peter Obi
SE to vote for peter Obi
30% in SW to vote for Peter Obi

Will that be enough??

The stars are aligning for Peter Obi.

On this rock will Nigeria be built and the gates of corruption shall not prevail against it!

You said bonus in millions for doing your job? Impossible! I stay in Canada, the whites don't behave like that.
