Thank you very much and I really like responses like yours devoid of insults and tribal sentiments. However I am not advocating for Atiku either on this note. I only said Obi would have stood a better chance of building himself politically as a VP now than 2019. He wouldn't be a VP to a southerner like Tinubu, you get?
However, let us all keep praying, working and hoping for a better nation one day. The main ingredients are unity and love. God bless.

Krismas:
By their ATIKUlation you shall know them.
Ur view on OBIdience maybe right, yet ur premise for ATIKUlating ur stance is ERRONEOUS
BAT’s choice of Muslim VP is political expediency more than any SELFISH considerations.
If u ask me, I never give any TOSS about political religion, to begin with. The present VP does not serve Christianity in any discernible way though he is a pastor!
In recent times the call has been intensified that political office holders should be made to swear oaths of office by local deities like Ogun, Sango etc. Because it almost an empty ritual placing their hands on the Bible. They just all false-Christians!
Then the problem BAT has up north is the feeling that he is difficult to control. He rides on ur platform then cease the platform from you completely. E.g AD from Afenifere! So, dats contrary to ur assumption that he is coming to cater to the whims and caprices of the Fool-ani.
Atiku on the other hand is the SELFISH ONE here. He left PDP to APC in 2011 under the pretext that it was NORTH’s TURN to produce the president. 8yrs later he still think its north’s turn? or president can come from anywhere bla-bla?
Obi can’t VP him. He already has led the PDP into considerable BLUNDERS and I honestly don’t even see how he will perform better in office than BAT
I will rather have BAT than have ATIKU

The truth that Obi supporters won't accept is that Peter Obi CANNOT win the 2023 election. You cannot just start a third force movement barely a year into a general elections and expect to ride to victory especially in a complex country like Nigeria. A third force riding on whose back? In 2019, a third force movement was created with some of the most brilliant heads there, where did it lead to? In reality, even Obi himself knows that to win an election, there must be structures in place especially the grassroots and the hinterlands where real voting takes place. Who is voting Obi in Damaturu? Ipoti Ekiti? Patani? Gbaramatu? and some other very remote places?
I am not a fan of Tinubu and will NEVER vote for him but looking at his emergence as the face of the opposition before APC came into power, it was clear he spent years building people at strategic places along the length and breadth of the country. That made it easier for him to control the people and movement he has today. Even among the political elites, Peter Obi isn't rated at all. He is not seen as a thorough bred grassroots politician, rather just a technocrat. Kwankwaso is even a bigger politician than Obi because he not only has a massive movement in his home state, he has visible influence to some degree in the North. If Obi and Kwankwaso contest a national election one vs one, Kwankwaso will floor him no doubt, that is the realiity.
Forget the tribal sentiments, Obi does not even have a whole region to himself. How many traditional rulers in Igbo land has drummed support for Obi? How many Igbo billionaires have spoken for the Obi movement? How many Igbo youth movements have emerged for the Obi agenda? The truth is that the Igbo tribe has never had a united front politically even if sadly they are viewed as the minority in the country. We see daily even on Nairaland here how Igbos bash Yorubas, Yorubas bash Fulanis etc . You think all that won't come into play when the elections come? You think Obi will now be a magical unifier for all? Even if you are bringing him from the right hand side of God, it is not now at all.
The labour party doesn't even have a state under her control in the whole of the South East. How many national assembly members belong to the labour party? Online supporters will continue to say NIGERIANS will vote Obi, where are the vast Nigerians that will vote Obi ? This is a country more divided than ever across tribes, religions etc . This is a country controlled by the two major parties and all political gladiators belong to them. Even Apga that is a regional party doesn't have full control in the South East, not to talk of Labour party.
We also can't rule out the influence of the international community on our elections and sovereignty. Do they rate him with a strong outside chance? Do the US,UK,EU,UN etc, see him and rate his supposed influence? All these factors play when it comes to elections but some of you don't see it at all.
Some of the online supporters are beginning to say that people are now voting for individuals and not party. Well, that was one of the things that Buhari rode on during the 2015 elections. Mr. Integrity bla la bla, became Mr. Corruption pro max. The people really want a change of government now even more than 2019. Peter Obi talks well, no doubt. He talks policies, plans, economic strategies etc , and he would have been a better VP candidate now for someone like Atiku better than 2019. He would have been a better man to lead an economic team and probably grow more political clout to take over government afterwards.
Talking about Tinubu, he is a selfish individual and picking a muslim VP at this critical time of the country is wickedness. No sense of belonging for the other religion knowing how much religion plays big in our country. The trash talk of having a christian wife is nonsense to me because who sees Remi as a Christian in the real sense not to talk of being a pastor. Oshi,iranu. Tinubu is egocentric and arrogantly driven by the vast financial war chest he has and his always selfish ambitions. There is no guarantee that he would do better than the present, rather a puppet to continually serve the Fulanis as long as his pockets are filled.
On a final note, Obi's supporters especially the online supporters will do his political growth and ambition some good by stop being violent and insulting in their campaign. You can't force everyone to vote Obi and if you need more people in your fan base, you must apply courtesy, respect and modesty. Continuously insulting people who aren't in support of the Obi movement is doing more harm than good for Peter Obi.
Respectfully..

A foolish organization led by a lunatic....

Ko ni da fun yin pelu esin oshi yin ...... Ashiere people

A ni pe oloriburuku ni Ishaq Akintola......

How this man continues to show traits of stupidity and foolishness is sickening... Ashiere

Femi osinwin, gbe enu oriburuku e soun......

You wouldn't have said it any better. I am not a big fan or admirer of Osimhen's style of play but definitely won't disregard talent and grace. However, it is quite glaring how much Osimhen lacks respect and he is so full of himself. His social media accounts are his to use anyhow he desires but while some use theirs professionally and even commercially, well, keep it up Vic.
Yeah, you are lucky to be where you are but where you are isn't the highest height and level that a Nigerian player has ever been. If that is what is "shacking your head",ogbeni calm down ehn. Pride goes before a fall, we all know.. Ikpeba made a good point, not disputing his talent, zeal, passion, drive etc., but questioning his decision making at certain times in the match which was not a wrong thing to do. Osimhen is still learning his trade and he needs the counsel and advices of legends like Ikpeba. I am sure he would have kept quiet if it was his Napoli coach that made that criticism.

Ashiere , bloody liar and complete oloriburuku of a man.... E ni ku re.

A failure praising a failure.... Awon ashiere gang.

With all due respect, you are stupid sir.... Ori yin buru

For an old man like Garba to continually display stupidity shows how sad the state of the nation is... God forbid a lying ass, shameless and stupid man like him as a father.

One of the most useless organizations...... Useless group always promoting violence.

Bobo shut up.......

MURIC is mad... Ishaq Akintola is foolish......... Ashiere combo

Indeed you are sick in the head.. How many people did you brutally kill using your position? How many people did you unlawfully detain? How many people did you blackmail and steal from? May you rot in that prison. Ashiere.

A very selfish and wicked ambition... It is not your birthright Asiwaju, so, go and rest.... You have stolen enough everywhere na.

ASHIERE .....

Femi, your Oga is badluck. Even the pigeons refused to fly from his hands. Tell us another tale.

See an Nwafor that defeated Satan and became King over him.

Meanwhile, when Oduduwa tried it, he was beaten black & blue and his face was redesigned with cat claws & thrown down to Ile-Ife like a common criminal.

The most useless senate in history..... Rubber stamp old thieves

Garba Shehu, you are mad.. How someone sprews rubbish effortlessly baffles me. Ashiere.

Even if she go Sunday school, she no fit study word of God....

YOU ARE MAD.

The audacity.. Well, in an administration like Buhari's own, disorderliness is the order of the day. Kidnappings, fraud, terrorism, abuse of human rights, and all vices that shouldn't be in a normal society. If this shameless man can be talking like this and the government is just there, what else should the people expect?
Gumi is a saint, but Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho are enemies of the state? Really?
2015 was a mistake,2019 was a disaster.
The worst government in the history of this nation.
There was a country.
A SHAME.

Garba always displaying his foolishness, stupidity and insanity.... Asshole
