Bandit commander in chief wan use politics escape?

baba when you finish go collect your vice from Atiku, we know you just paid for that slot.

It's simply low self esteem and the need for validation nothing else.

Unigrad:
Very soon, Dangote will be the controller of Nigeria economy.
You have refinery, you have cement, sugar, fertilizer, food, and now power. What else is remaining?

so you prefer to remain in darkness?

keemsleek:
Atiku will get the northern sympathy vote, no vote from SE, SS and lil from SW, tinu bu will get votes from SW,SS and North and nothing from SE. Obi will get vote from SE,SS, lil from SW non from the NORTH. OVER ALL TINUBU WILL WIN COS THEY ALL FAILED TO AGREE.

let those who are desperate to see tinubu leave be worried, for us if the north cannot compromise for Peter Obi then they should manage our dearly beloved Tinubu

keemsleek:
Trump is 80 yrs and pple still love him......Sir Atiku contested last election against Tinubu nobody shouted its southern time but now that obi has moved to NDC it's now southern time. Let everyone contest and if he wins, the south gave him the chance but onething I know is that if it was the north time they will never allow a southern contest against them. Has far some pple from the south are backing him and you pple were hailing him believing atiku/ obi will emerge then no one should complain.

Trump was reelected by the people who thought he did better than Biden in his first term. Atiku does not have any support base outside of money politics and he has no track record apart from selling national assets to his friends for peanuts and many other scandals. People shouted it's southerners turn last election, why did Wike become his sworn enemy?

anonimi:
He loved himself so badly he couldn’t throw Obasanjo under the bus in 2003 to make him a one term president, which is what Tinubu did to Jonathan in 2015.

He loved himself so much he agreed to step down in 2023, if the ticket was micro zoned to the southeast.

Kundus to your brilliant mind.




2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

Tinubu was Jonathan's vice in 2015?

Teenaira:
Obi should support ATIKU and play the role of the youth as a strategic move to secure future support .

No, you asked for northern 8years and you hit Buhari. You asked for Muslim-muslim ticket and it was granted. Now it's for the south if you can't give a southern ticket then wait for 2031 .make everybody go sleep for house

Angelfrost:
That’s the whole point na!

As long as Obi, Atiku and others keep running around and dividing the opposition, Tinubu won’t even need to rig to get reelected next year.

Atiku has always been the biggest headache of the opposition since 2019.

No problem, let him come back in 2031 make everybody go rest, tinubu continues

keemsleek:
Why must Atiku step down for obi I don't get it? The same Atiku u pple were supporting and asking obi to his vice. Na wa ooo

When it was the turn off the north he was supported ,now it's the turn off the south why will anyone vote for an 80yr old man frommthe north?

arrogance , Cameroon the land of senile leaders is waiting for you. The youths have outcompeted you this time

casualobserver:
You keep opening nonsense threads. Atiku’s 1st mistake was trying to outshine his master Obasanjo. But his fatal mistake was bringing Obi into prominence by making him his running mate in 2019.

Why was it a fatal mistake?
1: because OBI did not add any additional votes from the SE than they got under Jonathan in 2015, which is the purpose of a running mate. SE would never have voted for BBugari so he had nothing to lose 3 everything to gain by selecting a running mate from another region. instead he became the man who snatched away his date with destiny in 2023 by leaving the PDP with SE votes. He is also the one that will ensure he can’t win in 2027.

Leaving with southern votes of course because unless you're a dummy, you should know that no southerner will vote another fulani person after a disastrous 8yrs of buhari and the power rotation formula to the south

LordBiden:
The problem is that Cameroonian called Atiku,he should have just acted as party leader of ADC and allow Obi to be the consensus candidate.
They can make an agreement to share offices like vice,senate president and other juicy port folios.

His marabout keeps deceiving him that he would one day be president.

The combination of Atikus support+obi + kwankwoso could have helped ADC defeat APC.

What is the meaning of a juicy portfolio of no be thief dey worry all of una? you want a different country and you're talking about juicy portfolio

soccerlite:
Funny folks

80yrs old man contesting for the highest post in the land

What's the bad thing there

He has the experience, influence, acceptance, network

What Atiku Abubakar has attained in life obi can't get it at 80yrs

By the time obi is 80yr, he will be irrelevant to Nigerians and nigeria

Running up and down like a toddler who has lost his sweet

If you don't see a problem with a senile 80yr old man taking charge of your destiny when Gowon and Obj were taking charge in their 30s and late 20s then you need to do a deep self-reflection. People who put you and your children in perpetual darkness, stealing the country blind when dollar was less than 100 naira and selling govt assets for pennies. The day I campaign for an 80yr old man to decide my future, just know I have failed in life

huptin:
I don’t understand this, the same Trump that eulogized Tinubu’s wife?

Why are people so delusional?

No worry, bookmark this.

Ofunaofu:
Atiku is there, Ameachi is also there too

no need to buy form, make them two collabo. President and Vice

yarimo:
Congratulations to president TINUBU as president elect in 2027 presidential election. Congratulations sir

wait for Trump first

huptin:
I will say this.. though painful...Tinubu has won the 2027 election.

Are these opposition guys under a spell?

Are you aware that one statement from Trump is enough to send APC to ashes?

soccerlite:
Atiku is not a jester like obi

80 years old man contesting presidency is not a jester to you then you're the jester

Tareq1105:
Obi is about to betray Atiku again. Atiku will prefer Tinubu to continue than for Obi and kwakwaso to win.

who cares? one person can never run again

Ameachi remember this song by 2face , If nobody talk about you... then you are...

franchasng:
No be who get fans abi followers de get people to fight for him?


Amaechi don't let us remember your role in installing this failure in Aso Rock, don't just start what you cannot finish



Meanwhile, Tinubu seems to be using a spell on opposition and Nigerians.



As an inner caucus member of the opposition organizers from the Obidient side, I can confidently tell you all that Atiku is working for Tinubu with hope that Tinubu will help him emerge President in 2031 because I cannot understand why Atiku after agreeing at that crucial meeting held before New Year that Obi decamped, will turnaround to start saying he would contest 2027 election after giving us his words. Dele Momodu is misleading him. Peter Obi plans to do only one tenure and then Atiku can come in but his ego is taking over his common sense.



I wonder why Atiku can't sense the body language of the Nigerian youths who makeup majority of the voters in Nigeria. The youths want Peter Obi plus the South-North rotational Presidency sentiments, Atiku keep miscalculating and missing out. That was how he miscalculated in 2015 he should have convinced fellow Northerners to back Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 knowing fully well that after Goodluck Jonathan the next biggest Northern political figure in PDP then was him and meaning he would have succeeded Goodluck Jonathan but his usual ego and miscalculation made him lead a Northern revolt against Goodluck only to join forces to help Buhari and Tinubu fulfill their ill-fated ambitions to become President. Yet the man have refused to learn from his past mistakes, isorai.



It's sad that with what Atiku is doing, Tinubu will most likely win a reelection against the wishes of most Nigerians, so sad

Who will come out to contest presidency at 84 years old?

Usmanovic95:
Someone need to tell ameachi to get off his high horse.Nobody know those imaginary people he his talking about. At least we know obidients,Batist, Atikulators who all have a national appeal and kwakwasiyya with a regional appeal. Wetin be the name of his supporters? Only asking for a friend

Even kwamkwaso na state appeal, who dash am regional appeal? Amaechi will be lucky if anyone offers him VP slot

No man's bridge. Very good

AMINDA:
No one wants Obi to leave the ADC more than Sam Amadi. He wants to contest the Imo gubernatorial elections and is hoping to ride on Obi's wave. Atiku has not hidden his ambition to be president and he hasn't offered anyone the VP slot against their will. He's ready to face anyone in the direct primaries and will absolutely not be stepping down for any candidate. Whoever wants to decamp from the ADC is at liberty to do so.

It's 2015 all over again and a new platform is being built but one region appears to be resistant again. If the Southeast fail to grab a stake in this new party that is painstakingly being built, Seyi Makinde will do so on behalf of the Southwest. If they succeed and begin to reap the dividends, we wouldn't want to hear talks of marginalisation.

Joker , rest and return the ticket to Tinubu. Wait till 2031 and present your best candidate corrupt 84yr old Atiku

Old man rest abeg. Let Nigerians take their country back. Why should an 80yr old man be deciding a future he won't be a part of? Question for the non-stupid people only

SeniorGee:
Pls explain, how did it come on suddenly? Is there no switch? Is there no fuse? Who put on the power?

naija anyhowness, no processes or laissez faire attitude towards everything. In a proper LOTO , only the person working on the machine holds the key to remove the lock. There has to be an explanation for this

Gbadugbakun:
Atiku my man. Your time has come to liberate Nigeria.

you dey wait 80 years old man to liberate you . Unserious fellow

8 years as vice, so Atiku will be 88yrs in office. Drunkard , use your warchest and structure to pick Amaechi as VP.

yarimo:
ego ? Politically kwankwaso is greater than peter obi

clown. how many votes and how many local governments did Kwankwaso win in the last election ?
