kenzysmith: Peter obi is smart. The north had vow atiku will never be president. 2019 atiku came close because buhari was a 'disaster' now buhari is nolonger in the picture. Apc will likely give tunubu d ticket if there is no concenus arrangements. And we all knew how jagaban control lagos and osun just been govenor of lagos imagine entrusting power to such a person he will be in control of affairs of d nation even after is 2 terms. North will be having either atiku or tunubu to choose from at d 2 major party? This is where kwankwanso and peter obi comes in. Having obi as presidential candidate and kwankwanso who have huge followership in d north as runningmate is a masterstroke. East might just vote massively for obi, north will also consider kwankwanso and south will also give obi their vote too. pdp has lost d election might come out third.is now between Nnpp and apc. Obi u get sense. Even if u no win u have created a massive movement for yourself
Tinubu camp will never vote for any APC candidate if he fails to secure his candidature.
And if peradventure Tinubu wins many Nigerians won't vote for him.
So . . . Now you know.
casualobserver: People should try to comment with a bit of intelligence. Peter Obi candidacy was always a long shot, PDP overcoming APC (whoever the candidate may have been) was always going to be an uphill task. What he has done if he intends to contest on another platform is to split PDP votes, peter Obi is very popular (whether he ever had enough votes to win even in PDP is debatable but what is certain now is that he will take away votes from people who would have voted PDP but will not have enough votes in another party to win. Common sense should tell anyone that!!! The net result will be his paew party wont get enough votes and PDP will have less votes thus aiding an APC victory....unless they themselves self implode
The most stupid thing he could ever have done but then, he has a record of jumping from one party to another. I have personally not bought into the whole Peter Obi narrative and rhetoric. Ask his fans to tell you what exactly his legacy in Anambra is and they cant point to anything besides the education ranking went up during his tenure. What exactly is his signature infrastructure project, nobody can answer, they talk about prudence but is it not the money he supposedly saved that Obiana has now chopped, would Anambrans have been better off if he left the state in debt but left behind infrastructure he can pint to? I keep telling people all this talk of "i saved money", to what end? nobody elected you to save they elected you to spend wisely on infrastructure. A man who thinks it is a thing to be proud of that his 30 yr old son doesnt have a car, abeg if the 30yr old son of a billionaire has not been raised well enough to buy his own car you have failed as a father!! All we ever hear from him is "I have 2 shoes", "in japan", in morocco, in china etc etc...when you were in govt what did you do....nothing!!! Under himthe IGR of Anambra went down!!!
if you actually put the man under a microscope he is nothing but hot air!!!
On Saturday, youths across the country made a strong statement in support of Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello's candidacy in the 2023 presidential election, causing serious tension over who becomes the next president.
It was a simultaneous gathering of massive crowds of youths in over 36 states across the federation's six geopolitical zones in a show of force dubbed the 'Nationwide Capacity Rally for Yahaya Bello.'
Participants chanted solidarity songs and carried various placards in support of Bello beginning at 9 a.m. in all locations.
The youths, who claimed to have mobilized over 16 million active Permanent Voters Cards in order to achieve a Yahaya Bello presidency in 2023, stated that the nationwide capacity rally was to demonstrate that they meant business and would go all out for their own in the upcoming elections.
Under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bello, a presidential aspirant, has been a frontline in the area of massive youth and women mobilization, as well as a strong media presence in the ongoing presidential race.
Abdullahi Shuaibu Damat, the National Coordinator of the groups under the umbrella of Rescue Nigeria Mission, who was present at the Federal Capital Territory rally, said the youths were already thinking beyond the primary elections of the major parties in their quest for Yahaya Bello to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
Damat, who spoke at the Unity Fountain venue of the Abuja rally, said the youths had taken control of their future through technology, a determination to avoid money politics, and a heightened determination to participate actively in the upcoming election.
“If you have your colleagues everywhere in the nation – Bauchi, Sokoto, Oyo, Kwara, Anambra, Katsina, Kano, Gombe, Southsouth and all across the country, ask them about the kind of crowd they have seen today, simultaneously, in all the states.
“It has never happened before in Nigeria. This is what we mean by the phrase ‘it is youths o’ clock’. We want to appeal to the stakeholders and leaders to choose the person that can deliver the election at this point in time. In Nigeria today, no politician comes close to the Yahaya Bello structure.”
Speaking from the rally in Awka, Anambra state, Hon. Anthony Edogbo, the national coordinator of Bello Ambassadors Network, said the rally was necessary to keep easterners' morale high in anticipation of a youthful presidency through Gov. Bello.
The meeting point in Nasarawa State was at Kaura Plaza on Jos Road.
The large crowd walked to UBA Junction and congregated at Total.
They gathered at the Three Star Hotel in Jigawa and marched through the streets from there.
The crowd in Oyo State moved from ShopRite to Challenge, among other places, while the Kwara rally began at Kwara State Stadium, Ibrahim Taiwo Road, Ilorin, and moved through the Post Office to other parts of the state.
Sokoto, Kebbi, Gombe, Cross River, Borno, Kogi, Benue, Kaduna, Taraba, Plateau, Niger, Katsina, Bauchi, and Yobe, Akwa Ibom, and Zamfara were among the other states where the capacity rally was held concurrently.
And what are you going to say about the number of vibrant Yorubas killed buy Fulani in Yoruba land.
Last year one of my cousins was killed in Ijebu-Ode - Ore road.
So your post is not worth it at all.
CUMIN: The God of the hausas and Yoruba have cursed you with confusion. You will never understand your brothers language again. Every argument will be settled with bloodshed.
sweetjohn: Pls o, I beg una in the name of God, and if you love Peter Obi, go and get your pvc ready that's the only way we would really show our love for him. no be by mouth o or 1000000 match. Jesus even said "if you love me keep my commandments". Now Peter Obi is saying " if you love me get your PVC ready and come out to vote on election day no matter the situations"
onuman: Obi knows every in and out of Nigeria. The Backward Evers and Forward Nevers shall not vote for Peter Obi for President. The Forward Evers and Backward Nevers shall vote for Peter Obi for President. You know where you belong.
pricklewane: Overhyoing of this Pandora Criminal will lead only to his downfall. What are Peter Obi legacies he left after 8 locust years no be kidnapping n Azu river genocide with chronic looting of Anambra when he was caught red-handed with over two hundred and fifty million naira cash in. This is aside his Pandora looting in his daughter's foreign account.
i am not surprised that people are already falling for this lie, "hook, line and sinker", and this is due to the way the country is currently being mismanaged. But if Peter Obi must lie in order to prove a point, it shows that, he is not different from those he is criticizing.
Why all these ? Let's support the East for the 2023 elections and stop our animosity towards them.
About Buhari issue you mentioned, He chose an Yoruba man ( Tunde Back are) but also lost so I don't see why . . .
Esama: You still not get it. Buhari contest for president in 5times and he lost it he chosen igbo as vice president he still lost the presidency. He contest and allied with Yoruba and he won. You know the difference now
kenzysmith: This guy is touring round the country for just primary ticket why atiku just sit down for house they drink kunu cause he no say pdp ticket sure for am.
Kwankwaso is working for Tunubu to split north vote with atiku
But boom! Buhari changes or plans an appoint a president . Cause inec chairman is his appointeee
So Nigerians no waste your votes for d the presidency your votes won't count
All these you dished out ends in Old Testament. Jesus Christ came and put end to jungle justice of those antiquity people.
This is 21st century and you can't find this ugly character attach to the modern Christians.
So stop defending evil !
System202: Yes tell them Adamu Garba, kanu kills us they support him,when they kill they are always right but when they hurt us and we retaliate we Evil, barbaric
13 Then the Lord said to Moses: 14 “Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him. 15 Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible; 16 anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death. LEVITICUS 24:13-16
