One of the great revelations in our polity is the Peter Obi hurricane.
It sweeps through the length and breadth of Nigeria.
1. He doesn't have PDP national structure
2. He doesn't have his PDP regional structure
3. No body knows him in North
4. He's going for VP candidate
But guess what?
PDP and APC top echelon are meeting because of Peter Obi.
More unsettling is the posture of South East aspirants in various parties. They seem to see Peter Obi as zonal project.
If you're one of those that sleep on Peter Obi, please wake up, the man means business.

FoolaniHellman:
You proved yourself to be a fool by coming to his Mention first!

You're the fool for thinking that a reminder is argument

https://guardian.ng/news/i-am-the-only-presidential-candidate-that-can-fix-nigeria-says-obi/

From this report, did he say what this paper captioned?
They never saw his momentum, now they want to blackmail him.

Donshegxy10:
this is not about prayer, lets be sincere to ourselves, do you think obi can win pdp primary election?

Personally, i believe that he will come a distant 3rd, atiku will pick the ticket, why wike will come 2nd.

Many things are against him, he is only popular in the south, he cant spend, too tight fisted and we know that local politics is about spending with your popularity.

Even lets just assume that pdp give its ticket to peter obi and apc to tinubu, do you think obi can stand tinubu in a nationwide election?

You’re ignorant of Peter Obi. But I want you answer these questions:
Who did he become APGA candidate in 2003?
Do you know Okey Nwosu(Ikolo Awka)? He will tell you about Peter Obi
Second question: how did Peter Obi, a naive politician and tight-fisted man take the Anambra PDP structure from Chief Chris Ubah since 2013 and has remained the leader since 7 years? Do you what it takes to run a state party structure?
My problem with you lot is; you start your rubbish talk with “let’s be sincere”, when in actual sense, you’re talking nonsense.

jaxxy:
A stingy economist cannot create wealth for anybody.

I dont like people who talk too much, i believe in their actions. How many people did he empower as a governor?

Let's start from there.

Yet another postulation.
Who told you that to create wealth is to throw money around?
How many people has Dangote given money? But is he creating wealth? Better think before you talk

famology:
Hahahahahaha.... this pdp na group of clowns.
Is pdp now a member of Apc? So where did they get the locus to sue the apc on issues concerning their internal affairs?

These guys are not just ready. They've thrown in the towel before election. Lol........ clowns!

The have locus standi to sue ooo. SC said it in Ondo state case

Golan007:
This PDP sef.

Dem no just wan get sense.

Peruse the merit of this case, you will see APC is in hot soup.

emperor863:
The major problem of you Igbos is that you lack the intelligence to properly gauge the political barometer of the country. You will back obi who by any standard will never get more than two hundred thousand votes in the entire northern part of the country, that is, nineteen states - in the most unlikely event that he gets the ticket.

Why to you think he could not step on the soil of any of the nineteen states of the north in 2019 when he ran with your master, Atiku?

He is the most unpopular Igbo in the north because of the way he treated northerners when he was governor of anambra state.

However, stupidity, ethnic jingoism and bigotry will never permit you to see that there is no basis of comparison between Tinubu and Obi. In case you are interested in the crass truth, no serious minded political party will field an Igbo man for presidency in 2023.

Quite pathetic.

This one is being 'emoshonal' now.
Obi campaigned with Atiku in the North.
Obi was in Niger state last week
Obi was in Kano state late last year.
One thing about Obi is his independent mindedness.
He attended Atiku's declaration and next day, he declared. Have you seen politicians do it? That guy is popular in the north ooo.
And before I drop; how did he treat the north when he was governor?

If he eventually emerges PDP candidate, then people will know that campaign has levels.

Aufbauh:
You guys like following the wrong man.

The best man from the SE for me is Engr. David Umahi but Igbos and their PDP addiction won't want to support him.

In a contest between Umahi & Obi in Nigeria presidential election, Obi won't have up to 30% vote cast.

Can you guys show what Obi did or has done in Anambra as Governor compare to what Umahi has done and doing in Ebonyi with scarce resources?

Even in political parlance Umahi is scandal free but Obi is stenched and drenched in iniquities.

APC give Umahi ticket.
PDP give Obi ticket.
Both are true sons of Igbo and we will not be drawn to any comparisons.
Thank you.

Every workman must justify his pay. Such is the case of this Writer Nwabufor.
1st; Tinubu is not the candidate of APC. He is like a Dave Umahi, Orji Kalu, Rochas Okorocha etc. They are all aspirants.
There are those considered as dark horses who could emerge in APC through consensus. They are Rotimi Amaechi, Ogbonnaya Onuh and Godwin Emefiele.
APC as a party is yet to do convention that will Usher in those that may pick the presidential candidate: and you know of a good number of party executive came through consensus, they will likely choose candidates through same process. And as a political student, I learnt that the strongest always lose out in consensus. It happened during Peter Odili and Yaradua set.
Yes, Ahmed Tinubu has paid his dues, he's in pole position to win the ticket going by the optics, but it remains to see the result.
Peter Obi on the other is not a PDP candidate. In fact, he just declared but because Fredrick Nwabufor is looking for a big fish he will use to shine to justify his pay, Peter Obi is the soft target.
But does Peter Obi have in PDP primaries? It remains to be seen.
But if he make it through the primaries, no politician in the South will match him.
Let's wait until the primary

LeoDeKing:
No need insulting anyone.

Jagaban is considering few obstacles which he is already surmounting, he doesn't give a damn about rats, lizards and cockroaches declaring for president.

Of course, vote of one zone cannot produce a president.

You sef check am, how Obi want take go campaign for North? Same North they insult from morning till night.

If you know Peter Obi less than 1%, you will not speak so naively.
But be assured that if gets the ticket, he will dust anyone.

globemoney:
Peter obi left over 100 billion debt and no single legacy project. Obiano left legacy projects.

You are not wise and you are not brilliant.
What is Legacy?
What is project?
If you know what Legacy is, then you will know that it could be tangible or intangible.
Till the world end, the revolution Peter Obi brought in education, financial management and other sectors will be discussed in Nigeria. Tell me what else is Legacy.
When Anambra state was struggling in JAMB and WAEC ranking, we were all aware. But Peter Obi investment in education changed the story.
Tell me again what is Project.
Upper Iweka facelift
Dredging of Agu Awka.
Amaku Teaching Hospitabl
Igbariam campus of ANSU
Etc are all tangible Legacy projects of Peter Obi. But my rational self takes pleasure in intangible Legacy projects because those ones outlive the initiators.
I want you to reason along this line so you don’t embarrass yourself

leicestercamper:
Envious bitter frustrated nwa nsukka I know that such fake news from a fake blog will rile you up. Enugu state is in a huge mess with huge debt while you keep crying over progressive Anambra. Ntoor.

[s][/s]

This is not fake news mr man. I watched it on Arise Tv this morning

Parachoko:
We want presidency or nothing.

If PDP won't zone to the South South, then let APC continue.

We will collect his money and vote for the APC.

Abi no be the same Atiku wey no support GEJ in 2011 you dey talk about? We will be waiting for him.

You making noise here please
We have heard you, so chill

perambulator:
He knows it is going to the north and he is hoping Atiku will pick him

No matter who PDP choose they face a tough battle. Personally I think Obi is a liability even as VP. PDP should go with Wike or Makinde as VP.

PDP esp SE People will abuse me but the purpose of a vp is to win you votes in areas where you are not strong or encroach into opposition heartland. Obi did not win Atiku any new votes aputside SE last time and he even got less votes in SE than Jonathan therefore he was a liability to Atiku. SE are not voting for APC combine that with fact that Obi actually scored less votes in SE for PDP than Jonathan, he is an electoral liability. That is what the numbers say and let’s not forget at the end of the noise and sentiment, elections are about nothing but NUMBERS!

Another major problem Ibos have politically is that they have migrated and spread themselves around the country so much, that they do not have the voting numbers back home to be a significant and desirable electoral bride and they are too thinly spread across the country to affect the outcomes of election where they reside. Even their population in Lagos is not yet enough to significantly affect the Lagos elections. In places where it is they are intimidated by the locals.

Peter Obi will never be Atiku's VP candidate again. He has passed that level and he knows it. He could be in Atiku camp of non-governors group but he's actually gunning for the seat.
Now, someone will see the lengthy gibberish you said and think you made sense.
PDP couldn't have won 2015 because the were not organized in the region of the candidate. Now, in South the same power of incumbent played out seeing Ebonyi, a PDP governor and SE gov forum chairman, working against PDP. But aside this, how did Peter Obi affected Atiku's rating? Positive.
In PDP 2022 primaries, I'm calm because I've followed the game of politics closed over 2 decades, and I saw how former Rivers gov Peter Odili was darling of all, but unknown Yaradua carried the night.
Odili didn't even contest.
So cool down

Nawaa ooooo. This is not to be swept under the carpet. Osibanjo is an RCCG member. I'm one too but if these points are true, then he has to be excused because it's a dangerous sign.

Kingnelson9:
These two are not eligible to contest based on the new electoral act.

You are right but I don't why some people still don't get it.
NASS played a fast one on Buhari and his men. So if the force things, then the party will die

Windscribe:
Can't handle defeat.

ibo man talking politics, isn't that synonymous to a craze man talk, animal talk?

Igbos are better politicians than Yorubas.
The advantage Yorubas have over Igbos is the strained relationship between Muslim north and East.
Before the war, Zik trounced Awolowo even in West.
After civil war, an Igbo became number 2 and number 4 in Nigeria: Alex Ekwueme and Edwin Umezeoke.
In 1999, Igbo dominated party beat AD and ANPP. Or who can match Ekwueme in South West in 1999?
What Yorubas use now is subterfuge tactics using the media.
That's cowardice.
Currently, it does appear as if that strategy is working against South West because their infighting has exposed how hateful they.
And based on the analysis of 2023, the Igbos on this platform tend to analyze realistically. What Yorubas do here is:
1. Analysis of blackmail- that they supported Buhari and north and therefore must be supported
But when Igbos talk about equity and fairness; they will say "power is taken not given".
2. Analysis of self-service: that because of IPOB, the north won't support Igbos. Meanwhile, they are the ones telling the north not to support SE. When reminded of Sunday Igboho, they will say he doesn't have support.
But who ferried him to Benin Republic?
In 2023, Amaechi will not be the candidate because the new electoral act stopped serving ministers from voting and being voted for in the primaries. Except there's a waiver.
That said, power is coming to SE or NE. APC is gone and gone for ever

LegendHero:
Lol. Unknown SW APC elders forum.

Sanwo-Olu, Dapo Abiodun, and Zulum were right there yesterday with Sani Bello so I don’t know where this said SW unknown group sprang up from.

Below are the governors who are pro-SW.

What arm of APC empowered Sani Bello to take over?
You SW peeps don’t see the direction this is going; all you want to see is whether any Tinubu lineup is represented in the lawlessness. That makes it lawful.
Now listen as I predict like I always do:
A new part will emerge from APC
Any convention by Sani Bello will be nullified if challenged in court.
Now in the event that APC members fail to challenge this in court, a PDP member can do that according to SC ruling
@Helinus I’ve predicted again ooo. Take note

Questions:
6 Geopolitical Zones
NC National Chairman
SW President
NE Vice President
SE Senate President
NW Speaker HoR
SS nothing
Then you think this report is legit? Hahaha
Okay, everything is cast in the stone?
So who is the senator from SE that will be senate president in 2023 that was not qualified to be senate president in 2019? Hahaha
This report was sponsored against Rotimi Amaechi. If you know how this will affect Amaechi’s influence in APC, then you will understand.
Finally, the statement by Obasanjo is a pointer to the direction the pendulum will swing.
Two zones are highly considered for National cohesion: South East and North East.

JAMO84:
Adamu is godfather to governor Sule of Nassarawa state who is a staunch supporter of Baba Eko.



The man Buhari supports for national secretary ran for governor of Akwa Ibom under ACN formed by Baba Eko.


Yet, Mpurumirin people ( not all Igbo) said that Buhari will not support Baba Eko for President.

Buhari may not be against Tinubu, but the kingmakers are.
You guys spend so much time on nairaland without learning how these things work.
Power is not coming to SW. It has been taken care of. If APC gives ticket to SW, they will lose so badly.

PeaceJoyLove:
Yours words are true. But it wont happen.

Let me explain. The north knows they cannot win too without the south. And they have a better relationship with yoruba. So, yoruba and the north will continue to determine who will rule Nigeria.

In the north, Fulani has taken over from Hausa. So, it will be Fulani for a long time. While in the south, fulani and yoruba decides who to pick. See, Fulani has spoken in APC that it is going to the south. So, they wont want PDP to jeopardize the opportunity.

Ibo needs to be smart and hijack PDP ticket. But Wike will not allow it. PDP is failing if they field a northern candidate cos Ibo will not support them. So, if they are smart, they should pick from SS or SE. While it is obvious that APC is picking from SW or SS, but most likely SW.

I see the battle for presidency like this: APC - SW, and PDP - SS. And it will be a tough fight.

Igbo not Ibo. I will slap you next time you make that grave mistake.
But to your point:
So Igbos will hijack PDP from the rest of Nigeria while Yorubas will not hijack APC?
Some of are so sure of Fulani alliance, but a distant observer will tell you that Yoruba and Fulani have always been water and oil.
That's why y'all hated OBJ because he's the only Yoruba politician that has the ear of the Fulani.
You would ask ignorantly: "what of 2015"? What happened in 2015 is inevitable. The powers that be in the world have rejected GEJ. He would've been removed by every means possible. But for it to take Democratic route, the election happened.
Go and check SW votes and compare it what north churned out. They prepared without the South West. No wonder they are reluctant to listen to any Tinubu or Osibanjo for 2023.
So calm down, power is coming to East and it's been settled. Both APC and PDP are fielding an Igbo man.
Tinubu and Kwankwaso are working things out.
Watch this space

Invictuse:
Be fooling your fathers. If that is the case this only shows the hypocrisy of dead brain foolish Igbo. A man caught with N250 million cash in his car, Pandora criminal with over $500 million in his daughter's account is the best igbos want to present to Nigeria as president n the same set of fools complain about Tinubu Bullion Van or Alpha beta. ?!

Can you now see the hypocrisy of the igbos.

This one is mad already

God bless you ,that hate filled igbo subhuman called friga 13,asgard 13 etc must be dealt with in Yorubaland, he Lives,work ,earn, marry in Yorubaland but he is all bent on destroying Yorubaland. I do say that when Yorubas have the time for igbos in Yorubaland, they won't dare wait before they flee to their unproductive igboland

This una time for Igbos no de reach? See I'm from Anambra, live and work in Lagos.
I'm not different from Damilola from Osun who lives and work in Lagos. Some of you scallywags from the 5 states of SW must stop being foolish and silly. Lagos, historically belongs to Benin and the Oba of Lagos still pays homage to Oba of Benin. You fools have annexed Lagos and do want the aboriginal to go near the sit of power.
This has brought suicidal arrogance to you and you think to can stay in your wretched home to issue threats to Igbos.
Now I promise you: even in you area in Lagos, square up against an Igbo man and watch your own people disgrace you.
Fool

I read this interview and no where microzone was mentioned.
People are just here analyzing an explicit statement.
The president will come from South.
So far in APC, Tinubu has shown capacity and I won't be surprised anymore if he gets the ticket.
Except the party assuage Tinubu and give the ticket to South East; apart from that, the party will caput.
The momentum of Kwankwaso and co should be taken serious and if Tinubu teams up with Kwankwaso, NW and SW will be interesting.
But in my observation, I think president is coming to East.
Mind you; I hit my target. Helinus will attest to it.
