His massive followership on social media really hurts you people.. where is your own candidates followership on ground as at today. Until election proper, social media is the guage.

Structure is people, followership is structure... you are the idiot here.

To win elections in Nigeria, you need
A. Money
B. Structure
C. Strong followership

You can't win with only 1. You need money and either B or C.

For example, Buhari contested for Presidency severally and lost because he had only C. He didn't have A and B. It was when he went into partnership with those who had A and B that he finally won.

Peter Obi's first election as Anambra Governor, it was Chris Uba who took care of A and used A to get B. If not, Peter Obi won't have won. His second term was as a result of A, B and C which he got by virtue of incumbency.

It will be delusional to think that Peter Obi will go anywhere without A and B. Votes that win elections are not on twitter.

southsouthking:
Gbas gbos.
Wike cannot withstand the tsunami waiting for him.
He'll tell Nigerians and river citizens how he was able to finance PDP when no single cilvil servant was promoted or salaries been increased.

I find this unbelievable. If this is true, why are they people concerned quiet about this?

malel1:
Oga iGBos dont have problem with osibanjo , but ur tinubu cant be nigeria president , instead let them give it to GEJ .
Tinubu spoilt everything, by contesting, he should have supported OSibanjo instead .

Nobody needs him to handle Nigera the way he is handling lag pls

What if the plot to give GEJ doesn't fall through and Tinubu gets it, what will you now do?

Uchek:
There is no document. [s]The North sent Awolowo to prison. The North destabilized Western Region and imposed state of emergency.

So why did Awolowo align with his political enemy and nemesis - Muslim North - to fight for One Nigeria which the North dominated?

The pre-war crisis was between the North and East or Ndigbo and Hausa/Fulani. Why didn’t Awolowo maintain a neutral stance and allow the two political enemies to settle their conflict in the battlefield?[/s]

I have seen the answer I need. There was no agreement.

I don't want to debate the civil war. It's an emotive issue for a lot of people and I don't want to talk about it.

Dsalvo:
Same myopic fools will then postulate that Tinubu will be disgraced by Buni, Malami, Bagudu and every upstart who was carryings bag for their oga's mistress when Tinubu was dealing with PDP bossman in the form of Obasanjo. Jokers.

Out of those three you mentioned, Mai Mala Buni is the one with the most political experience out of them.

In 1992 when Tinubu was already in the Senate, Mai Mala Buni was an ordinary Councillor. In 2000 when Tinubu was Governor, Mr. Buni was an ordinary legislate aide helping his boss to buy food.

When Tinubu was Senator in 1992, Malami was an ordinary student receiving pocket money from his parents.

Bagudu's own is the worst. He has no history of honest labour apart from being an apprentice of his father. Apart from helping Abacha launder money and getting extradited, he has no records.

These are the people who want to stop Tinubu.

Malami was smart enough to smell defeat a mile away, he abandoned his ambition and ran back to Abuja.

Well well...

PoliteActivist:
So the North cannot go it alone? So why couldn't Awo pull the West out of Nigeria like he promised Ojukwu?
As long as the North dominates the armed forces they know they don't need anybody else

Please, could you point me to any link, document or reasarch article that gives evidence that Awo agreed to secede with Ojukwu. Thank you.

The politicians in the North are not for GEJ Presidency. In fact, they are the ones fighting tooth and nail for Tinubu. They are doing this because they have vested interests and they know Tinubu is capable of taking care of their interests as he has a long history of doing so.

The people drafting GEJ into this race are those who can never win elections on their own. The so-called cabal are yesterday's men who were living on meagre pension before Buhari became President, Malami who ran away from Kebbi guber primaries, one recharge card seller in Katsina who got to Aso Rock became a billionaire overnight and some other electoral liabilities who can't even win their wards.

Bashir Ahmad collected his own wotowoto yesterday. With Federal might, he ran away from the venue of the primaries. Malami that is giving them legal advice saw failure staring at his face in Kebbi and decided to run away.

As it is, Buhari is playing defensive politics by hiding and shifting goal posts. All that has an expiry date, he will be forced to do for GEJ what he couldn't do for Malami, Bashir Ahmad and Co. It is not Tinubu running, it is interests running.

Wetin dey happen na? This has become out of hand.

TheOgaBoss:
oga go and look at the last governorship election, no one even expected shuaibu to perform as much as he did, Osho narrowly won edo north. If it was Osho of old, it would be a clean sweep. Besides u should note that edo north unlike edo south and central does not have a homogeneous ethnic group, oshos etsako is just one other the ethnic groups, there are others like owan, akoko edo, etc. Those other ethnicities are also agitating that it is their turn to produce the senator. Don't worry the next general election is just round the corner, pdp will flog apc again in Edo.

Alemikhena should have gotten PDP ticket so he would beat Osho na. Pdp defeated Apc last election because they felt they didn't want Oshiomole playing a godfather. Today, people are cussing at Obaseki and openly regretting. Next election, PDP will cry blood, starting from Edo North.

jr3:
I need car to hire from next week for like 2/3 months. movement is between Lagos/ibadan. any car with Ac and auto am fine with it.
whatsapp me ..+971581583869

From experience, I'll suggest you buy a car when you arrive and sell it when you're leaving. Except you're willing to spend more than 1.5M on hiring a car for the duration of your stay in Nigeria.

TheOgaBoss:
if he has the balls to decamp, he will give Osho a run for his money. Osho is no longer as popular as he used to be but he is still firmly in control of the state apc structure and alimikhena knows he will not get the ticket.

I actually laughed out loud at the bolded. As at today in Edo North, Oshiomole has no rival. Obaseki's disastrous 2nd Term has ruined Shuaibu's popularity in Edo North. In fact, people see him as being responsible for their woes. You can talk to civil servants and people.

vexing:
As far as Edo north is concerned, Alemikhena will beat Oshomole even if he joins APGA. He has been the only APC senator in Edo State even though PDP have been controlling all other senatorial seats for the past 8 years.

Who gave him ticket 8 years ago?
Alemikhena cannot beat Shuaibu not to talk of Oshiomhole.
As he has resigned his membership of PDP, I hope he decamps to another party and contests against Oshiomhole. I wan laugh small.

fergie001:
The State is the grassroots so if someone is becoming too popular and grounded send him very far to Abuja.

So that he/she will have some disconnect back home.

That's what they used to wreck Obanikoro

If this man wins, I won't say congrats to him, I will say congrats to Bauchi state.
This man revolutionised the Nigerian Air Force

Lolz

Congratulations to Nigerian lawyers.
Lawyers go make bastard money this election cycle.

Unfortunately, the courts may end up choosing leaders of the people and not the people choosing their own leaders.

Welcome to Courtocracy.

That's not fair

TheNiceGuy:
I never expected this.

Adebutu was no where to be found

Oh, this is the nonsense they did in OOPL yesterday.

IboHausaYoruba:
Wow! This man is full of ideas, I really wish he win at the general poll. Congratulations Segun Show.

Prof. Benjamin Ayade of Cross River has more ideas than him. Go and read Alhaji Yahaya Bello's manifesto.
Both are classical failures and they are both young and full of ideas.

It is just a bargaining chip for his faction. He will reduce PDP's chances and decamp to APC after the elections.

So sad

djon78:
You are a dreamer

What did PDP do since being there? Or there present governor Ikpeazu, a very big calamity

As for Ebonyi,
You think APC will allow the state go
Keep on dreaming

Ekweremadu of all people leaving PDP in Enugu is a big time blow.

Just watch campaign of calumy against PDP in the East

Operation wipe away PDP from South East


What did PDP do for South East all these years

Even Buhari s APC has built infrastructure PDP neglected all these years

We will chase them away

Just watch it

My PVC is intact

Na now una eyes dey clear.

Maxymilliano:
Only credible and acceptable option left is Atiku ... It's a pity indeed

Atiku? Credible? Maybe another Atiku, not Abubakar.

Esseite:
I don't mean now... he would definitely win his re-election.. but a higher aspiration for his character in the future is dicey with the PDP..

Which character? Are you in Oyo State at all? Abi you no know how e dey go for Oyo? GSM shares money, uses thugs and is not a Saint in politics. Go and ask people in Oyo.

In fact, he brought thugs to Kogi for Yahaya Bello's reelection, his thugs were caged by soldiers in their hotel. Ask of who Auxiliary is in Oyo State. That is Seyi Makinde's Man Friday. Peter Obi and GSM are miles apart. GSM will trash Peter Obi any day any time.

Someone doesn't want to stay with you and her people are telling you to take her back. If she comes back and stabs you dead overnight, it is those people who will hire lawyer to defend her that she's mentally unstable.
Let her stay where she is and let her undergo counseling and medical intervention if necessary.

If Peter Obi goes to NNPP, they won't give him the ticket. Even in APGA, they will lick his eyes.

If you don't have money to spend like Atiku, you must have strong followership like Kwankwaso and structures like Tinubu. Obi has none of the above. How do you expect him to compete with those I mentioned?

djon78:
They are already irrelevant in the East

Anambra, IMO and Ebonyi are not PDP

Only backward Abia State and Enugu

I pray PDP is chased away from Abia and Enugu

Abaribe and Ekweremadu have dumped PDP

There top Senators from the East

PDP will retain Abia. Apc there don't know what they are doing
PDP will win Ebonyi. Umahi is running a 1-man show.
PDP will clear Enugu. No dispute about that.

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

The bolded is a very reckless guess. Kwankwaso will NEVER deputise for an Obi, never. Go and ask around if Kwankwaso.
Kwankwaso has made men who occupy various political offices. He has structure, he has a cultlike followership in the North. Can Obi match that?

Esseite:
You can read the pain in Bode George that Peter left PDP, he was their surest hope.

The PDP Losing Obi as an aspirant made it loose integrity beyond recognition..

I expect Seyi makinde to start planning soonest...

Planning for what? Obi ran away from a contest,
Makinde is the only PDP Governor in the SW, he is the most senior PDP man in the SW and he won't throw that away because Obi fled from a contest.
Makinde stayed and won his ticket. How does that affect Makinde? Abi na Makinde wear canvas for Obi leg wey him take run comot PDP?

cowboyvs:
To an extent, she has been decent but the problem is I dnt know what she does when I am not there and it is so painful that I can’t even trust her again.

She wasn't sorry for what she did, she's sorry she got caught.
Well, I don't like to advice people in love because they usually don't take advice.
