Most of you are so ignorant you don't know igbos have ruled Nigeria twice...

HardBishop:
My bro forget in the next 50 years, the hate for igbos will never permit you to vote for any Igbo extraction...
We all know, infact we advice obi, soludo, umahi and all should step down.. and not allow presidential election to hold in the south east.

saintkel:
instead of Soludo to be president, I rather Potable or Sowore rule

owobokiri:
This is how you guys ruined this strange country. Dping violence to truths for petty interests. Truth is no more the truth unless we first look at the faces of those person involved.

Look at what you are trying to do. Basically trying to excuse an obvious act of wayward tribalism. And somehow you expect serious minds to take you serious..

The APC rocketed tribalism to the highest echelon of governance in this country. It will backfire. Remember this; it will backfire. If you told Abacha during the NADECO days that Tinubu will be president at Aso Rock some day, he most probably will send a Sergeant Rogers after you in disbelief.

It always go around.., I mean the table of karma

Zionmdde:
You Just confirmed the accuracy of my last paragraph

Zionmdde:
So in summary as a government employee whose salary is paid with taxes from Igbo too, he is correct because Kanu who is a non government employee said such too?

If someone ever said “you have sense” , be sincere will you believe the person?

Mitsurugi:
Oga Dickson they are simply filling the gap your party has failed to fill. Isn't it surprising people know, feel and hear more about the OK Movement more than the NDC?

Arostar2023:
Dickson is not on the ballot he is the party leader. There’s no room for one man show or a godfather where Nigerians are headed now.

Penguin2:
Or maybe new facts are now available to him that has nullified his previous position which is what informed his current decision.

You like to doubt it, but Obi is Nigeria’s next president.

ekineme:
Obi this and obi that..A tree with ripe fruit should expect stones

What the OK Movement is doing is nonsensical. It is unheard of — NDC National Leader, Seriake Dickson

"Support groups don't play the role of a political party."

The National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Seriake Dickson, has criticised the activities of the OK Movement, warning political support groups affiliated with the party against operating as parallel structures or competing with it for control.

Dickson spoke while receiving former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, into the NDC.

“Support groups don’t compete with the political party that is sponsoring candidates. Support groups don’t compete for supremacy, for space. Support groups are what they are: support groups.”

He added, “Support groups don’t play the role of a political party. They don’t sponsor candidates. They provide grassroots support, mobilisation, and support. They don’t convert themselves to become critics of the political party sponsored.”

Dickson said the NDC has made room for support groups, noting, “The NDC from day one made it clear that we have a huge place, an important place for all support groups. I’ve actually held meetings with Obidient groups.”

He stressed that several groups could operate under the party, saying, “We have thousands of support groups, and many more are welcome.” He added that the party has a department responsible for coordinating and managing them.

According to Dickson, support groups should not attack their sponsoring party or establish competing campaign structures.

“They don’t attack the political party sponsor. They don’t do that. Never in the history of political election, everywhere in the world.”

He said, “None of them will dare say they are setting up a campaign, presidential campaign council. It’s unheard of. Nonsensical.”

Dickson said support groups could be “gentle” or “more active,” but remained support groups, adding that their role was to mobilise at the grassroots and promote the party and its candidates.

He urged them to “confine themselves to their role” and focus on “providing support for our candidates, galvanising support at the grassroots level, propagating the candidates and the party.”

I am against State Police — Peter Obi’s running mate, Kwankwaso

Former Kano State Governor and Peter Obi’s running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has reiterated his opposition to the establishment of state police, attributing the push for it to the failure of the federal police and other security agencies.

“I have always been against state police, and I can tell you the issue of state police came because of the failure of the federal or national police,” Kwankwaso said.

He said the security situation had become so bad that everyone was looking for a solution, adding that the Federal Government appeared to be shifting responsibility to state governments.

Asked if he meant the Federal Government was surrendering to b@ndits, Kwankwaso clarified: “Not b@ndits”

He added, “You see, as a former governor and also minister of defense, and somebody who has advised President on Darfur and Somalia, I think it’s one of the big mistakes that government is doing.”

Kwankwaso said the situation could be understood because governments often avoid responsibility when things go wrong.

“But one can understand if there is any failure, nobody wants to take responsibility. It’s only when there is success, everybody, even somebody who is one thousand kilometers away from it, will be claiming,” he said.

He also expressed concern over the growing calls for citizens to acquire arms to protect themselves.

“We can see how things have reversed themselves to the extent that leaders in this country are telling their citizens to go and purchase arms. They go and own arms to protect themselves. It has gone that bad,” Kwankwaso said.

He warned that widespread possession of weapons could make peace difficult, saying, “And as long as people have too many arms in their hands, I can tell you there will hardly be any peace. Because even little disputes between neighbors or even husband and wife, I can tell you one may decide to go and take the arms and use it.”

Well-done ancient of days. How does the beautiful nonsense you typed here relate with my opinion? I guess you had problem with comprehension. You know nothing kid.

Treasure17:
I'm yet to see a state government attacking the president the way our brothers for the other side are doing. That pull him down syndrome is ridiculous.
