With the collapse of PDP, Atiku is completely finished in the south. Without Obi as his running mate, he can’t get 5% in any southern state if he contest under the ADC platform. With Obi, he still has a very slim chance. Without Obi, his candidature is dead on arrival.

You overrate this your obi.

And how come you are now back to Obi being VP to Atiku?

If Obi is so popular , why doesn't he strike it out on his own with a northern Muslim candidate ?

So we are now back to Obi being VP running mate.

That alone tells me you know Obi's popularity is waning in the SS, SW , NC and so you know he will get less votes this time and will not even get the constitutional required minimum 1/3 votes outside his SE.

You guys are a joke I swear.

So you want military rule where there no checks and balances. I don't think you have experienced military rule before.

I will never support any coup in Nigeria

You don't know these people.

They know that our current democratic system can never get them to Aso Rock.

They have been demanding for a coup since a Yoruba man won the elections and in their usual bitter envious mode ,want to truncate the system .


They will prefer military rule than have a Yoruba who was elected above their last hope remain President.

A Yoruba man beating their own in a national electoral contest only reinforces to them that Yorubas are more accepted across Nigeria than them.

They are angry because the last election showed them that they are still on probation from the madness of Jan 15 and the civil war they caused due to their greed and covetousness .

Yoruba hatred in them is not because they hate Yorubas per se even though they do, it's a fallout of being reminded that Nigerians still don't trust them to head the presidency.

Your Obas were/are the biggest "dictators" of all time! Imagine this one!? Your Obas are the legislators, the executives, the judiciary, the gods, the customs and even the diviners, all rolled into one! That's the template in all your traditional environment even as we speak, and you know what? Serfs like you fight hard everyday to defend these traditional dictatorships. We saw your folks bowing to the posters of the new King in Ibadan the other day.

So what the fukc are you yapping about?

If you are willingly bowing to fellow men as you rulers, what right do you have to accuse someone who was raised to not do so as craving for dictatorship? You hated Abacha. I don't hate him. Deal with that. We have different political goals in the country as your man Tinubu has proven with his sectional leadership style. So your political favourites may not be my political favourites. Simple as that. But don't try to use "democracy" as a convenient tool to defend your uncles barefaced dictatorial regime!

Thank you!!!

Its called absolute monarchial rule and it was what existed even across Europe that saw to the Renaissance era of great human development.
The Holy Roman Empire that was headquartered in Bavaria was the height of monarchies and it gave the world the greatest scientific and artistic breakthroughs.

The arts and architecture of that era are still standing today and considered as tourist traps.

Back home we had the Bini Empire whose capital Benin was adjudged by Portogesse explorers to be the best planned city state with a highly complex and civilized order that saw to zero crime and high prosperity rates among its people.

Its a system of governance that you will never be able to replicate .

How sad.

APC only need two more defections to put a final seal on 2027. Kwakwanso of Kano and Muftwang of Plateau. With those two in APC, even an Atiku/Obi ticket will be heavily defeated.

Atiku is not going to pick that toxic individual as his running mate.

Atiku found out hard in 2019, that Giringori was hated in the core north.

Atiku will be searching for a more level headed and non IPOB affiliated candidate.

G0odharddick:
Sadly only Obi or GEJ can kick tinubu out as of today

Remove Giringori from any future permutation.

Thanks.

Is what we have now a democracy?
Elections are blatantly rigged..
State and National Assemblies pass anything that the governors and the president send to them..
President who is a participant in the contest, gets to appoint the electoral umpire..
Judges are blatantly bribed..
Parties in power openly destroy opposition parties ..
No accountability..
Sectionalism and ethnic manipulations..

These are the symbols of your vintage democracy!?

So what do you suggest ?

That we go back to the glorious years of Abacja where your IBO leaders all trooped to his court begging for favours?

If you are not capable in your SE of self civil rule, and need dictators to rule over you , that is not the case for others.

If he was gay , and the subordinate lover gay as well, this will never happen.

Balkanized you say? Did Rivers State balkanized when military took over?

Ibas, a retired Naval officer did not coup himself into being Rivers state sole administrator.

Ibas was appointed by the President as sole administrator after activating a constitutional clause of state of emergency declaration which had the full backing of the NASS.

Ibas emergency rule had the NASS doing oversight functions.

Is this how a typical military coup operates ?

Fiscus105:
Be deceiving yourself, in as much Sahara reporters not trusted, coup planning usually starts from one person, until several people key into it.

The coup might still be at lowest level stage.

Even without this news, I am very sure coup planning, or stage is not far from this govt. Because the way he is leading, can cause revolts from section of society.

Any coup now will see Nigeria disintegrate faster than a lightning bolt.

Nigeria of today is not Nigeria of Pre 1999.

The civilian political class in every state is well entrenched .

The populace is more restive and aware of their rights and won't give it away for an illegitimate military junta that did not give their consent to.

There must be consent by the populace to the government of the day to govern them.

And how is the military going to manage running a country like Nigeria today without widespread consent?

You must understand that past military juntas relied on consent to remain in power and always justified seizing power from fellow military juntas on the basis of lack of popularity of the ousted regime among the people.

There's no way we can have anything dictatorship today because that will require tearing up the constitution and drawing up Admiralty laws that are alien to civilian life.

Any coup will not only be disastrous to Nigeria's continued existence but to those who ochestrted it.

The guys in the military today are a total different breed from the cocaine sniffing rambo types of times gone.

The officers today just want to serve and cashout bigly and retire to politics or their businesses.

Why should they risk all that for a doomed coup that if successful will doom them?

Obviously a false allegation.

We all know how DSS comes up with fabricated allegations when they want to sue people.

According to Sowore , the arrests were carried out across the country by DIA and not DSS.

Take note.

Bullshit.

I am sure they were arrested over arms diversion or deliberately refusing to follow orders in the ongoing war on terrorists and bandits and providing cover or refusing to mobilize

No officer is daft enough to stage a coup in present day Nigeria as that will surely see to the country balkanizing.

Did you know that Giringori demanded that ADC opt for an online opinion poll in place of party primaries to choose who will emerge as the party's flag bearer in 2027.

Giringori truly believes in his online mob above everyone else.

He wants his mob to determine whom ADC fields as their 2027 candidate and not the party delegates.

Anything to avoid Primaries.

This man should never be allowed membership in any registered political party.

He should go to Ohaneze and contest for the PG position as he is also adept at playing perpetual victim which Ohaneze stands for.
