Speaking of playbook.
Going by American antecedent and war scripting.
More jets will be shot down by Iran, many American pilots and soldiers will be captured.
Give Iran something to celebrate.
With Trump in power, the ending part is that we don't know how many years it might take to rebuild Iran.
In all of this, The biggest winner is America military industrial complex.
Politics › Re: ADC Has Backup Plans For 2027 But Just Playing Chess by Jokay07(m): 6:36pm On Apr 03
Linzo:
Yes, you heard me right. The ADC guys know all these will happen because of BAT’s desperation to be the sole contestant in the poll, knowing full well he has failed woefully and there is no way he will win. They've already positioned alternatives options right from day 1. So they keep playing to the gallery that APC will never predict them

So guys, relax. With time, ADC will announce the way forward, and BAT and APC are goners.
Lolzz. PDP said the same thing. Labour Party said the same thing too.

There's is no game anywhere. And even if there is a game being played, I would say ADC members are playing themselves.

There's no time again.
There's no time to start taking over another party or even forming another party.
Because based on the electoral guidelines, there is a deadline given to all political parties to round up their ward and national convention and then forward their NWC members list to INEC. Once the deadline elapses, that's all for ADC.
Thats why PDP quickly rushed to conduct its convention.

Any serious political party that wants to contest power in 2027 should by now, start strategizing with campaigns and manifesto, not battling with internal party crisis.
Even Almighty PDP with all her wahala has conducted a national convention.

This is the same mistake Makinde made when he, out of pride and arrogance conducted PDP national convention at Ibadan.
Inec won't attend that convention and the absence of Inec means that the convention is just part two of "owambe party" PDP did at ibadan.

Judicial proniuncemnet must be study and thoroughly addressed. No be by gragra.
They should go and ask Turaki and Makinde.

thesolutions:
Let me say this. The curfew was not necessary. It made the killing appear as a religious crisis.
This was a deliberate attempt to trigger religious unrest in the vicinity because there has been religious tension among the two religious groups. Maybe the terrorist forgot to shout Allahu Akbar to make it a religious act but that is unheard of about religious killings from Islamic terrorists.
No one accused any religious sect until after the curfew.
A little alarm was what was needed and a collaborative effort between the christian and Moslem community to apprehend the culprit but the curfew created religious tension.

It is high time for the Moslem community to start collaborating with the Christian counterpart to apprehend culprits involved in this kind of killings so they won't be seen as working together with the culprits.

You won't see the culprits running into christian communities but into already segregated Moslem communities.
You are Totally wrong.
Without curfew, it would have been a blood bath.

Most pple that will make his candidacy scale through to the masses that will later deliver him are politicians and they deals only with offers. The world has gone beyond I no dey give shsihi.

DoTheNeedful:
You know nothing about Nigeria politics.

In a two-way match-up between Obi and Tinubu, Tinubu would beat him silly. There is no way core Northerners would vote for Obi over Tinubu. Don't be deceived by the current grumbles against Tinubu coming from the North. Northerners simply want power back in the North. It is their way and it didn't start today.

However, if no major Northerner is on the ticket of any major party in 2027, and it's Obi vs Tinubu, they would vote massively for Tinubu.

It is only Atiku/Obi that can defeat Tinubu in 2027. No other combination would.

Some of you on social media are too naive about the Nigerian politics. It was probably GEJ's and Obi's political adventures that triggered your interest in presidential politics.
You are not 100% correct.

Obi’s transition from serious contender to Mascot, by Azu Ishiekwene

Friends, admirers, and the “Obidient” fanbase of the former Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Gregory Obi, love to call him by the sobriquet “Okwute,” which in Igbo, Nigeria’s third-largest socio-linguistic group, means rock, boulder, or stone. Quite a nice alias – especially if you associate some doctrinal nuances of Obi’s faith with his first name, Peter.

The symbolism of the name Okwute, borne by males, signifies one who is strong, dependable and unyielding in Igbo cosmology. But a nice alias is not necessarily a fitting one.

The fluidity with which Obi moves around the political circuits has little, if any, resemblance to a rock, boulder or even a stone. Except, of course, if he’s a rolling stone, lacking in constancy, bereft of moss. A rock or a boulder is solid, come rain, come shine; it is constant in and out of season.


I’m not suggesting that Okwute should have remained in Onitsha or Aba. That would be absolutely ludicrous! After all, life is a journey.

Peter the Clay
I’m saying that this Obi is a Peter of Clay – malleable, confused, and lacking in staying power. He’s drifting, mistaking a jungle for a zoo. This should be a great source of worry for his troops, especially the social media-based avatars (without voter cards), who deify Obi and whose political signature tune is “the Obi-way or the highway.” His political history needs no retelling other than to record what a missed opportunity it represents.



After the tale of him winning the 2023 presidential poll – an election in which he punched above his political weight and won in 12 states – even if only with narrow margins outside his South-Eastern enclave, Okwute fragmented like sedimentary rock thereafter. It would have been sufficient for him to build on his good showing at the poll, but claiming he won an election in which his party had no agents in about 54 percent of the polling centres was a stretch.

A Yiaga Africa Report on the 2023 elections said that while the APC deployed agents in 96 percent of polling units, the Labour Party deployed agents in only 46 per cent. Agent deployment is a critical factor in election performance.

Failed romance
The man who became the de facto and adopted candidate of the Nigeria Labour Congress and sundry trade unions – a substantial voting bloc, failed to seize the initiative after the poll. He went on throwing tantrums, wasting energy and resources in litigation, and missed the opportunity to consolidate and build the structure of the Labour Party – a convenient vehicle he had appropriated overnight, barely three days before the presidential primaries of his previous Peoples Democratic Party in May 2022.

Justice Ayo Isa Salami, a retired president of the Appeal Court and an eminent jurist, has criticised Obi’s midnight migration to LP as an illegality that would have excluded him from the presidential contest. Salami said Obi’s participation was the result of poor judicial diligence and perhaps a lack of experience on the bench.

Okwute’s jump also stirred speculations and gave credence to the claim that he was deliberately avoiding primaries in the PDP.

Missed opportunity
Yet his near-spontaneous entry into the LP created a political wave that came at high tide. Not only was it dynamic, but it was the stuff of legend. Sustaining it beyond the elections would have made a great difference because LP very much needed nurturing, growth and strategy. But Obi was not paying attention, focusing instead on the next election rather than rebuilding the party.

Glimmer of Obi/Kwankwaso combo, by Ochereome Nnanna
ADC's problem is ADC, not APC, by Azu Ishiekwene
LP adapted to Obi rather than the other way around. It even accommodated Okwute’s capitalist credentials into its semi-socialist fold. Nothing really mattered so long as LP had a presidential candidate – an ‘Okwute’ in the race.

Without as basic a requirement as agents to represent it at the polling units, LP went into the general elections and performed barely short of a miracle, winning one governorship, six senatorial and 34 House of Reps seats in one go. It was a foundation on which any serious politician would have built an inspiring career.

But the momentum was left to waste, casting him in the light in which his former adversary-turned-friend, Governor Nasir el-Rufai, described: a Nollywood actor. Okwute watched the slow but sure unravelling of the LP, as it collapsed from factional crisis.

Rather than being the elder in the house and leading the LP to consolidate on its initial achievements, he bolted. He has now pitched his tent with the African Democratic Congress, ADC, an assortment of mostly aggrieved power-mongers, in whose company the former Obi might have been immensely uncomfortable.

The game in town
Yet, even in this temporary shelter, the only game is who takes the presidential ticket. While the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, is preparing as if elections were tomorrow, collecting defectors, aggressively registering new members, and even testing its election situation room (all this despite its poor record in office), the opposition is missing in action. The opposition’s strategy appears to be to sufficiently discredit the process before elections to hide its own catastrophic incompetence.

Whether Okwute sees it or not, he has expended his store of political goodwill without reinvesting or making good capital of it. The man who won Lagos, the impregnable home of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the Federal Capital, catchment area for the government in power, has by word and deed, proved that it was a fluke – an emotional response from the young and aggrieved and a bloc of Christian voters thirsty for change.

That Kano visit
On Sunday, Okwute visited Kano on a Sallah homage to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP. In 2023, an expected alliance between Okwute and Kwankwaso failed because Kwankwaso, with a wider political footprint but no less ambitious, would not be Obi’s vice presidential candidate.

Kwankwaso had said offering Obi the vice presidential slot under him was a “golden opportunity,” implying that Obi would be lucky to join his ticket rather than the other way around. For good measure, Kwankwaso said age, experience, and performance disqualified Obi from the presidency, hinting that the NNPP would collapse if he accepted a subordinate role to Obi.

With Obi now in ADC and Kwankwaso still nursing the remnants of his NNPP, it is a good time to ask who is gravitating toward whom. The ambitions of both men are well known, and the ADC’s presidential ticket is nearly foreclosed.

Obidients won’t accept anything less than an Okwute presidential ticket. Kwankwaso’s impressive crowd, more on the streets with their red caps than behind touchscreens, is no less vociferous. They won’t hesitate to tell Obidients that RMK is bigger politically, older, and a PhD holder with far superior performance as governor.

And the Kano crowd – especially at Sallah – was, as usual, huge and dramatic. They received the guest as they would a mascot. In Kano, every player thinks they have the crowd until they see a bigger one.

Obi has paid the price for a ticket to the zoo, but he’ll soon find that he’s in a jungle.

Politics › Re: The Atiku Problem: The Man Blocking Peter Obi’s Path To Power by Jokay07(m): 7:25pm On Mar 26
uche87:
The name Atiku Abubakar has been at the top level of Nigerian politics since I was a kid running around in shorts in the neighbourhood, kicking balls. There was always the rumour of his presidential ambition. Today, I have a kid kicking balls around, and Atiku is still chasing his presidential dream at age 79. It is funny how time flies. If Atiku’s interest in the presidency were being fuelled by a personal motivational speaker, I am sure that person would have run out of words over the years. Atiku’s presidential ambition has become an indirect impediment to Nigeria’s progress. Over the years, he has criss-crossed political parties within his reach in pursuit of that dream.

According to his Wikipedia page, Atiku ran unsuccessfully for President of Nigeria six times: in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023. He ran in the Social Democratic Party presidential primaries in 1993 but lost to Moshood Abiola and Baba Gana Kingibe. He was the presidential candidate of the Action Congress in the 2007 election, finishing third behind Umaru Yar'Adua of the PDP and Muhammadu Buhari of the ANPP. He contested the People’s Democratic Party’s presidential primaries in 2011, losing to incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. In 2014, he joined the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2015 election and contested the primaries, losing to the late Muhammadu Buhari. In 2017, he returned to the People's Democratic Party and became its presidential candidate in 2019, again losing to Buhari. In May 2022, he was chosen as the PDP’s presidential candidate for the 2023 general election after defeating Nyesom Wike, the former Governor of Rivers State, in the primaries. He came second in the general election, losing to Bola Tinubu, although he joined other opposition candidates in demanding a revote. In 2025, Abubakar left the PDP to join the African Democratic Congress, alongside his former rival, Peter Obi.

Atiku’s popularity peaked in 2019 when he contested against the late Muhammadu Buhari, with Peter Obi as his running mate. Atiku lost the election, but his performance was impressive. Many believed he could have won if the “federal might” factor had been absent. After 2019, Atiku became, in my view, a disruptive force in Nigerian politics. He is a variant that mainly affects opposition parties. He has become a stumbling block that undermines the potency of the ballot box and complicates the chances of peaceful regime change. In the 2023 general election, Atiku arguably helped Bola Ahmed Tinubu win. It was almost as if he were an All Progressives Congress undercover agent. He contributed to the implosion of the then-leading opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). A master of party politics, Atiku executed a plan to take control of the PDP leadership structure and secure the presidential ticket. His plan worked, but it infuriated party leaders such as the current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and Peter Obi, who also sought the party’s ticket. Wike remained in the party and allegedly undermined it by supporting Tinubu, while Obi defected to the Labour Party, where he gained momentum and national popularity.

Tinubu won the election with 8,794,726 votes; Atiku had 6,984,520, and Obi secured 6,101,533. If both opposition camps had united, Tinubu might not have become president. After the election, I expected Atiku to step aside or abandon his presidential ambition. However, he remains active and is reportedly positioning himself to run again in 2027 against Tinubu, arguably at the expense of Peter Obi.

Atiku and Obi are now both members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). As expected, Atiku is seeking to be the party’s flagbearer. Obi is also interested, although he has admitted he might not secure the ticket, likely due to strong competition from Atiku and others. In my view, Atiku stands little chance against Tinubu, who reportedly has the backing of about 32 state governors. Obi, however, could stand a better chance, especially if his rumoured alliance with former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso materialises. The crowd they recently drew at a public appearance was significant and appeared to have caught Tinubu’s attention.

Ultimately, Obi’s fate is tied to Atiku’s decisions. The irony is that both men can hardly thrive politically within the same space. For Obi to truly rise, Atiku may need to step aside. Whether he will make that sacrifice for the future of Nigeria remains uncertain, but it would be surprising if he did.

If a man who claims to have won 2023 or came first in 2023 election is afraid of contesting in party primary election, then the man doesn't deserve our votes
