I don try for that side na, my wife is from there and I don buy one acre there. E no reach to contest?

Ttalk:
If it ere to be a Yoruba man that makes such statement then it becomes a taboo disrespect to the Yoruba culture.

That it why Nigeria need to emphasis the meaning of true federalism and federal constitution that resoect the culture and tradition of respective subregions in the geographic expression called Nigeria

omoredia:
Have u done business? Giving 10 billion naira for 50 smart schools is untenable. Im a builder and I believe Suji moto side of the story. I feel his pain

emmanbol:
11 billion naira for 22 smart schools.

Seem the govt is trying to be fraudulent also. Fraud jam Fraud.

Jonathan is NOT CONTESTING. Stop the hallucinations, you think GEJ is a fool to accept dead PDP that has lost 90% of its members to the ADC? Think again.

simple87:
Unfortunately for you, my friend, ChatGPT — which is more widely recognized in academic circles than Grok — thinks otherwise. In fact, it ranks the South South ahead of the South East, with the South West clearly leading the pack."

According to my lawyer friend, an affidavit will restrict his GT Bank account, fine, but that is what will buy time to get a proper court order to get the money reversed. She said getting a court order in Nigeria is a problem as you have to follow up for months to get it. She said she is also in he process as she sent money to the wrong account last month and that the money is restricted in the Palmpay account until she is able to get a court order. That will do just fine for me too.

In summary, all i am looking for is this person's contact details. This person most likely stays close to me, the contact is all i need.

Pardon me for the errors in dates. So, he left in 2014. And I'm not contesting his generous donations since he left office (say between that 2014 and 2021), I just asked that you provide a proof, it's that simple!

We're not arguing here but I like learning and I like people challenging my impression/narrative with facts and figures.

Thank you!

yemre:
I agree with you 💯.

However, it doesn't take away the process. Instead of clamouring for the ticket as a gift, I'd rather prefer that you make cases for sanitization of the process. Also, this is politics, if you don't do it directly, you will do it indirectly, and I will give you instances.

1. Peter Obi has been going around, donating between 10m to 15m to institutions, empowering people and all that since the campaign for 2023 elections started. I will like you to tell me where he did such after he left the governorship seat in 2006.

He only saw the need for this to canvas for votes, indirectly, just the same way Atiku and Tinubu came thru for some states that experienced flooding and fire incidents in the build up to 2023 elections.

They do all these to be in the good books of the electorates.

This happens, not only in Nigeria but everywhere all over the world.

An adage says "he who is determined to eat from the honey hidden in the rocks will not mind the impacts on the digging tools".

If he wants the position, he must be ready to play the game because that's the only way he could prove his toughness and large heart.

Thank you.

Well, Tonye Cole had the support of Amaechi and got all his votes from Obidients in 2023, how did it all end?

He lost woefully to Fubara same way Obi lost to Tinubu.

After losing he wanted to create a scene, what happened? Small boys slapped and beat him on live camera like someone who stole Maggi.

BTW, una too dey over-rate Amaechi. He is a Political light paper in Rivers state. No influence whatsoever.

givedemwotowoto:
Obi is far bigger than Tinubu in terms of grassroots support. Tinubu has less than 3 million supporters. That’s the number of votes he gave to Buhari, and that’s the number of votes he got when he himself ran for President.

richmond500:
Obi's followership was inherited, it was youths who were angry at the crop of politicians, they just need someone less corrupt to lead them and it favoured Obi, that is why he can't control them, they are a movement of angry disillusioned youths, not Obi's product, if Obi dies today or mess up, his followership will cross to another candidate the next day. You can even hear some Obidients advicing Obi to take VP position to Atiku. It was never about him.

Buhari followership is anchored on his principle as a person, they follow him like flies follows faeces, Their greatest strength is also their greatest weakness, with Bubu death, the followership dies with him and no one will inherit it

madridguy:
Lame joke Obi only inherited mazi kanu followers and no organic followers.

Habbeyy:
Okeke guy fvcked up. That he chose to write another jamb is not a big deal to me, but using different identification is not making any sense. I suspect that he was used by some unscrupulous elements.

SmartEnergyng:
Boss Mustapha should know better. Revisionism or Amnesia. so let's jug up his memory.
By 2015, Muhammadu Buhari was a northern juggernaut with zero traction in the south. He lost three consecutive elections—2003, 2007, and 2011—failing to secure even 2% in any southern state. Buhari had reach in the desert but no bridge to the coast.

Enter Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The 2015 victory wasn’t divine—it was strategic. Tinubu brought the political architecture, the South West votes, the elite coordination, and the ACN machinery that formed the APC. That party wasn’t born in the north—it was negotiated in Lagos and midwifed across the Niger.

To now hear Boss Mustapha suggest Buhari could’ve done it alone is more than false—it’s dangerous revisionism. In 2011, Buhari won zero southern states. In 2015, thanks to Tinubu, he won Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, and Ekiti—securing the crucial two-thirds spread.

This wasn’t a northern coronation. It was a coalition presidency—and Tinubu was the hinge.

If the northern elite think they can return to power without meaningful southern alliance, they’re politically deaf. Nigeria isn’t ruled by nostalgia. It’s steered by negotiated balance.

👉 Don’t erase the bridge that carried you.
👉 Don’t bite the hand that delivered you.

Boss Mustapha should know better.
