NothingDoMe: And what do you think his plans would be at 55? To be president in 8years time? His influence will wane once he leaves office. That's why he's milking it right now.
if u can’t be the president be relevant in the system.He may not be thinking of president but I’m sure he doesn’t want to be useless in the system.Why do u think no high ranking politician has decamped to LP?

real men don’t give birth to women.all my kids are boys.see me,see obi cubana,see emoney.soludo should try to get more male kids
There are key political indices that will shape the 2023 elections:
1. States being govern by political parties (State Governors)
2. States where political parties have huge membership (what you call political structures)
3. The heavyweight politicians (what you call political gladiators...Senators, Honourables, ex-governors..e.t.c..they have their niche of voters they command no matter how little)
4. Waves of youth movements that are hell bent on wrestling power from the old Politicians.
The political parties that manages 3/4 factors above well willl win the election.
That's why I see more of PDP or APC as the winner of next election...nothing will change.
Peter Obi and LP has 1/4 working for them at the moment.
im aware my brother obidients are only wishing election shock is worse than electric shock.I hope they survive it
If the deal fell apart, but Wike supports Labour Party against PDP as some news are reporting..
It's still a win for Tinubu and APC, because, Atiku and PDP are still the ones to suffer losing their traditional voting base and votes from SE and SS..
Head or Tail...the G5 not working for PDP, irrespective of who they work for, as long as it is not PDP is a plus for APC.
In any case...I still see an outright winner at the first ballot, between Atiku and Tinubu...I don't think there will be any rerun as these two are strong enough to get 25% votes in 2/3 States of the federation and FCT.
mrvitalis: Truth is obi can over them control of the national assembly ...this is something neither PDP or APC can offer
Obi is not a politician that drags party structure he just want to serve and go home which is why I was angry with kwankwaso ...Peter obi is not a politician uncle just want to serve ... kwankwaso would have been in absolute control of the party structure
If the G 5 endorse Peter obi ...then obi has shifted from top contender to the candidate to beat
He would sweep South south minus Delta by 80% minimum , even Delta 50% sure for am
South east swooping would be absolute and total
With wike financial war chest ...45% of middle belt is sure and 40% of south west is sure
Still think money need to be thrown in southern brono, gombe , Bauchi, yobe and Adamawa ...to see if 2 can give 25% ...taraba and Kaduna is very very very winnable absolutely
u analysis tight bro.very very tight.Obi needs such men to win not this lazy obidients yaho boys that wil be watching bbn or Man U Chelsea match on Election Day
ECASH120: They will have more relevance if they support obi. Most of Obi's supporters are former PDP members including Obasanjo.
The G5 governors can become the structure of labour party and will get key appointments if Obi wins but in APC which key appointment will be given to Wike when rotimi Amaechi is there, when El-Rufai, lai Mohammed etc and all Buhari's cabinet.
The G5 governors will be treated as visitors and guests in APC
you have a point but Obi won’t win it’s too much a gamble for a Gov to risk.it’s only yahoo boys that are supporting Obi
ECASH120: Governor Nyesom Wike and his allies, described as the G-5, on Monday jetted out of the country to the United Kingdom in order to ratify their endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, for the 2023 general elections, sources close to the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) aggrieved governors told Daily Independent on Tuesday.
According to the sources, while in the United Kingdom, the five governors will strategise on what to do and how to ensure that their chosen presidential candidate wins the 2023 presidential election.
Governors Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia State), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) have refused to support their party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, citing injustice in the party.
They have been in the forefront for the removal of the PDP National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, as a condition to support the presidential candidate of the PDP, angling for a Southerner to take over from Ayu for regional balance.
Governor Wike, by extension the G-5, while inaugurating the Rumuokwurusi- Elimgbu Flyover (10th flyover) in Rumuokwurusi town, Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, promised to unveil to Nigerians his preferred candidate for the presidency of the country in January.
Speaking with Daily Independent, on Tuesday, one of the sources privy to the meetings of the G-5, said that the UK meeting is to ratify their decision on the support of Peter Obi.
“The five governors traveled to the United Kingdom on Monday to strategise and take their final decision on who to support ahead of the 2023 presidential election. The person they are supporting is Peter Obi,” the source said.
It would be recalled that while Wike had been telling his people in Rivers State that he would announce the presidential candidate they will support for the 2023 election, the direction of the G-5 was clearer on Christmas day when the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, visited the internally displaced persons (IDPs) camps in Benue State.
The governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, who received Obi, told Nigerians that the best person to rescue the nation is the LP presidential candidate, adding that he is the best person who can solve Nigeria’s socioeconomic problems.
Ortom praised Peter Obi for visiting the camps of IDPs to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ with them, adding, “Several presidential candidates have come here, and none of them have chosen to visit those IDP camps and look at their plight to see how they are doing and give them hope that when they win, they will bring them succour, help, and hope.
“For you to have chosen to visit the IDPs on a Christmas day that you should be celebrating with your family, for me as a Christian, I say God will bless you and your aspiration. My prayer is that God will bless your aspiration to be the president of this country.
“Because I have seen capacity, faith, and hope, and I have seen someone who can bring the required equity, justice, and fairness that I have been pursuing since I became governor in 2015. If I were not in PDP, I would have been following you all over the place to canvass and vote for you.
“But because I’m in PDP, I’m telling Nigerians that this man can help deliver this country from its challenges.”
Recall that Wike had fallen out with the PDP leadership and the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, shortly after the party’s presidential primary, where Atiku emerged as the candidate of the PDP.
This development generated bad blood in the party as Wike had thought he was the candidate to beat. The stepping down of Aminu Tambuwal, the Sokoto State governor, for Atiku, changed the narrative in the presidential primary that was held in Abuja.
While those that were in the camp of Wike and others who lost at the primary election were trying to come to terms with what happened, the action of the party’s national chairman, Ayu, fueled the crisis in the party at that time, when, instead of reaching out to those who lost at the primary, he decided to pitch his tent with the winner, and even described Tambuwal as the hero of democracy.
The anger in Wike’s camp was, however, intensified when Atiku decided to take Ifeanyi Okowa, the governor of Delta State as his running mate, against the alleged decision of the committee set up to look for a running mate among those interested in the office, who voted in favour of Wike.
Efforts to pacify Wike, who at this time was enjoying the support of some governors and stakeholders in the party, proved abortive, as his demands were not meant by the party and the presidential candidate.
Even though Atiku had said he had met with Wike about five times to resolve issues in the party, Wike’s utterances in the past few months especially from live telecasts, where he was commissioning projects in Rivers State, showed he had already made up his mind on what to do.
The decision to shut the presidential campaign office of Atiku in Rivers State through executive order was interpreted by some concerned PDP members to mean that Wike had made up his mind not to support PDP in the forthcoming 2023 presidential election.
they won’t endorse any Obi.they will do what they like.seyi will endorse or has already endorsed tinubu.each of them will decide to support who ever they like.the aim is to mess atiku up.outside atiku,they are ready for anyone else.
WannaHowzit: A South African mother that lost five of her children in the Boksburg truck explosion said she felt like she was living in a horrific nightmare.
Rosetta Briets lost five of her children on Saturday to a gas tanker explosion in Boksburg, east of Johannesburg.
Gerrie (10), Sebastian, (14), Adrian, (14)-years-old, Jamel (16) and Jes (25) are the names of her five children.
“I am heartbroken, and I am taking it day by day. I’m living it day by day just to get through everything.”
Briets said after the blast, she went to the scene and saw all her children lying on the grass, already dead.
WATCH: Massive explosion that left atleast 18 dead caught on camera
mu2sa2: Saying it the way he's done is more effective in passing the message to the intended target - the youth, many of whom are unserious and wouldn't even read serious posts like @bencoten above. It's like the Lori iro footage that went viral on social media last year. The man in the video wasn't doing a skit, he was actually a preacher but delivering his message in, to borrow your words, an unserious way. Believe it or not, that way the message sinks better with the unserious people.
bencoten: Lol. Not so o! Orgasm, just like straining when stooling increases intracranial pressure to brain vessels bursting levels, especially individuals who have theirs weakens by uncontrolled hypertension and who have condition in which their brain vessel form pouch at a point ( a condition called Saccular Aneurysm). When it happens, they usually experience the worst headache of their lives and rapidly lose consciousness, some never recover! It can happen with a spouse or hook up during intercourse and worse still for individuals taking enhancements! A good advise from the doctor gentleman.
I know what he’s saying bro.just that he said a very serious thg in an unserious way lol
Cancri: Werey doctor say you might be going when you think you are cumming Something must kill a man. It's better to die untop toto than for boko/bandit boys hand Afterall in black sheriff voice. In this world we cum and we go
lol una Dey crase this evening o.which one be we cum and we go
this is why some of us left Nigeria.it’s not every jappa that is because of money.I was a boss in Nigeria but I ran away.The Nation is cursed and obi cannot change it.
emerged01: Lol! Politics is not about emotion,it is about interest. If you were in his shoes,I believe you will study the situation very well and go for someone that have the chance of winning. If at the end of the day,he chooses Tinubu and Tinubu wins,he wins also and he will remain relevant.
I wish ppl knew this.no politician that has anything at stake supports Obi.all I see around him is political orphans and yahoo boys.why will a Gov from another state support a candidate that his own gov is not supporting.
PeterObi4LP: If Wike want to remain relevant politically after his tenor as governor, he should support whom the masses is supporting and love - Peter Obi. Anyday he openly support Tinubu, that's the end for him politically.
no notable person supports Obi it’s only yahoo boys.
