From frying pan to fire, the devil you know is better than the angel in the shadows, events of 2015 should have opened the eyes of the mumus.

But we know your type, look but they shall not still see.

Rather, the past events should have opened our eyes, hence we need to get out of it asap, and LP is the answer

CEwog91:
so you know all this but still give yourself sleepless nights on top obi

don't mind them, the more they say it, the more obidients intensify their campaign efforts. it has turned to a catalyst that will convey obi to aso rock.

OsunOriginal:
Obi has been raising donations since the beginning of the current electioneering process. Till today we don't know how much has been raised so far, how much has been spent, and on what. With all these donations, Obi's campaign has left much to be desired and is not something anybody looks forward to. Many don't even know where he is going next - which shows there is a lack of popular interest in his candidacy.

your pain

On Thursday a group of aggrieved members of All Progressive Congress (APC) purportedly from northern Nigeria and led by a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Lawal Babachir, formally endorsed Mr Peter Obi of Labour Party for the 2023 presidential election. The group hinged their decision on not backing the candidate of their party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, over his decision to pick Senator Keshim Shettima from as running-mate. The decision not to back their Party's candidate was based on the fact that both Tinubu and Shetima are Muslims from the South and North respectively.

While I, like many others, commend the Babachir led group for turning their back on the divisive Muslim-Muslim pair of APC, I find their decision to support Mr Peter Obi as morally unjust and in conflict with the group's position on Tinubu/Shetima pair.

It is an open secret that Obi picked Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, a Muslim from Kaduna State as running-mate, yet, he strategically schemed out Northerners and Muslims from strategic positions in his Presidential Campaign Council. Without mincing word, Obi's Campaign team is heavily "Anambranised" and "Christianised" (if I must use both words) - which is as dangerous for the country as Muslim-Muslim pair of APC if allowed to occupy the position he is running for. In other words, the APC Muslim-Muslim pair and pan-Anambra/Christian team of LP Campaign are same coin of different sides.

In the LP's Campaign Composition, Peter Obi, a Christian from Anambra State, is the Presidential candidate, Julius Abure, a Christian from Edo State is the Chairman of the Advisory Board and the National Chairman of the Party, Chief Clement Ojukwu, a Christian from Anambra State is the Secretary of the Campaign, Dr. Doyin Okupe, a Christian from Ogun State, is the campaign Director-General, Chief Oseloka Obaze, a Christian from Anambra State is both the LP PCC Campaign Manager and Deputy Director-General of the Campaign, Mr Valentine Ozigbo, a Christian also from Anambra State is a Senior Campaign Advisor to Peter Obi and so on. The only top positions ceded to the North and Muslims are the positions of LP's running-mate (Datti Ahmed) and Campaign Council Chairman (Mr Mohammed Zarewa).

From the aforementioned, Peter Obi shut out not just Northern Muslims but also Southern Muslims and non-Anambra Christians (Save Okupe and Julius) from strategic positions in the LP Campaign Council. This clearly shows that Obi and LP are as guilty as APC in sectionalism in the composition of their team. To make matter worse, Peter Obi denied LP' National Secretary Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim, a Muslim from the North, who ordinarily should be the LP' PCC Secretary, and gave the position to Clement Ojukwu, a Christian from Anambra State, who is the Party's Organising Secretary.

If Babachir could listen to the voices of majority Nigerians who are aligned with the candidature of Atiku Abubakar and Ifeanyi Okowa, the Presidential and Vice presidential candidates of Peoples Democratic Party respectively. This is because only the pair represents Nigeria's diversity and unity in terms of zoning, religion and region.

In the PDP Council, the Candiate, Atiku Abubakar is a Muslim from Adamawa State, the running mate, Okowa, is a Christian from Delta State, the Campaign Chairman is a Christian from Akwa Ibom State, Campaign DG is a Muslim from Sokoto State, the Party National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, is a Christian from Benue State, the Party Board of Trustees Chairman, Sen. Adolphus Wabara is a Christian from Abia State, and so on.

Perhaps, Babachir saw these yet aligned with Obi Campaign Council that is even more sectional than that of his party while sidestepping the Atiku-Okowa team that represents Nigeria's ethnic and religious
diversity in its composition due to mischief and hypocrisy. Maybe Babachir's public endorsement of the sectional Peter Obi Campaign is a strategy by Asiwaju Tinubu to ensure balkanisation of opposition votes to pave way for his victory knowing that majority of Nigerians are against his candidacy. This may be true when one take into account that same Tinubu was instrumental in the nomination of Babachir as SGF and same Babachir almost singlehandedly purchased APC Presidential nomination form for Tinubu.

Meanwhile, in all fairness and equity, it is just for all Nigerians to reject Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling party as well as the 'Anambranisation and Christianisation' schemes of Labour Party. Our diversity must reflect all that we do - this is the only way we can #RecoverNigeria. This is the reason majority of Nigerians are aligned with Atiku-Okowa presidential ticket.

God Bless Nigeria

When you are done. you will tell us how Peter Obi married only one wife, he should have also married from other regions. come rain come shine, Peter Obi have our votes, you can continue to follow your ancestors, it's your own funeral.

Voters are sometimes the architects of their own problems, they see an obvious disaster and still become victims.

Thinkam:
Tinubu meeting with Igbo business men in a hall in Imo state, had more attendance than Obi crowd in a presidential campaign rally...

Even though Tinubu's meeting ended with disgrace, he pulled more crowd, in a small meeting.

Obi will drop out of the race latest December


Atiku is coming

PDAPC

If I no vote for Peter Obi, what did I gain? It's a loss for me. The only energetic president that hear your cry himself and not rely on others. He will be there with you.
You can follow your old order

In an effort to undermine Peter Obi's effort, they rushed to create this and guess what, the last speak said that all the things said are not on the drawing table but they have already started the implementation and asked, whose plan are you implementing on?

musapeter72:
Peter Obi can't be trusted, he is a chronic liar, and words of promise mean nothing to him.

Peter Obi once told Nigerians around sept. this year that strike will not be acceptable under his watch. Same Peter Obi now warning Nigerians to brace up for long strike if he wins.

Trust him to your own peril!!!

you lack wisdom, I am ashamed of you. follow old men around

Illiterates everywhere

Is it the same interview we all watched that he said that investigation must be carried and culprit to be brought to book instead of jumping to a conclusion.
Criminals should be treat as one instead of politicizing crimes.

this man inspire hope in people

sarcastic !

Urchins are wicked

good one, Naija must be better, we can!

good one from our incoming president, the man that will make me vote for the first time.

Thinkam:
Peter Obi wants to truncate the peace of Nigerians that's why

It's Atiku O'clock

Atiku is coming

Atiku is going nowhere

Igbo:
instead of Peter Obi let another Fulani continue

You remind me of a man that missed his way to his house while chasing after another motorist to say just waka! to him for overtaking him without a prior notice.

BATified2023:
u igbos n this your nzogbu politics

The same way d like of reno,ffk,Kemi olunloyo,deji adeyanju used u is the same way this hunwhatever guy is using u

What he needs is political asylum so he needs to keeps playing on d emotions of the gullible igbos by attacking tinubu cos he knows igbos will always follow anything against tinubu no matter where it is coming from

Your eyes will clear one day n u will realise u have been used again

This one's problem is Igbos tomorrow he will say igbos hate yoruba but he can never make a single sentence without mentioning igbos. you will obviously miss your bus stop while running after igbos.

Atiku should go and rest,

9gerian:
The General is unbraiding the leaders in the southeast that failed to rise to the occasion to stop non state actors from growing so big to the extent of challenging the constituted authority.

In other words, nobody is in charge or has demonstrated the capacity of bringing calm to the southeast amongst its elders and politicians. Untamed anarchy is what is fast developing. A similar development was witnessed in the north years ago before Boko haram / ISWA eventually came full cycle.

The rest is history…

The leaders in the south east are not empowered to take on armed criminals, it is the duty of the federal government to address any genuine agitation, What effort did the writer make with his military background, if he a trained military man could not do anything, how then do expect an ordinary civilian to do?
anarchy is a creation of bad leadership, both in state and federal level. leave the elders alone, elders have no police protect.

Well written but who is he blaming? the powerless citizens or the controller of the armed forces

buckeyemedia:
Peter Obi is a political fraud, a self centered shameless betrayer.

APGA should send ESN after Judas, if he dares enters Anambra State to campaign.

is it the same Bianca that replied Fr. Mbaka on behalf of Obi?

drlateef:
I have just been hearing Gov. Wike on TVC news. He is presently talking at the commissioning of flyover by Obi. Some young boys were shouting from behind him and he had to stop talking. He then stated that Obi claimed to be trader and his fellow traders are disturbing him. He said that at the state level, labour party is not welcome in Rivers State.

It is obvious that only traders of Igbo origin are supporting Obi.

Traders have PVCs or don't they?

kingthreat:
Soludo didn't manufacture lies.
He bluntly said the truth damning the consequences.
Looking for a real man, you just found one in the Ex-CBN and present Anambra state governor.

what truth?
how can saying that someone will not win a truth, is he God?
The issue of investment worth next to nothing was mischievous because that wasn't Obi's intention, after all his family investment is also there as purported. He did what he felt was the best for the state and what about other investment that are yielding more than what was invested?
Is that the only investment made by Peter Obi?
what about others are yielding much more.
He is insulting Obidients, how can you insult people and expect praises?
He deserves all that is coming back to him. One person cannot coke for the masses, because he cannot finish the food masses will cook for him in reverse.

Thinkam:
The fact here is if you said Atiku/Obi were the best in 2019..

How come one is now bad and the other good?, shouldn't the smart thing be to support the one with better chances of victory?

Be smart.

God bless PDP
Atiku is coming

Atiku is better than buhari and not Obi

What we are talking about here is balanced ticket and not balanced family

So, the attack is been shifted to the poor masses and he's calling them minorities, no wonder Nigeria has been in a mess. all throughout the 8 years of APC misrule, he's never said anything. anyways, he works for tinubu and he has to justify his pay.

Gadafii:
chief urchin, you can now go back to your rotten cassava, but make sure you and your drug baron tilinbu no enter Jos again, stinevgi touch una woto woto

That’s how you and your poo poo daddi will be rejected by sane Nigerians across the country
