FIVE Reasons why I will NEVER vote Peter Obi in 2023. (The last reason will shock you)


1. I am a Yoruba man. I will rather vote a Yoruba man than an Igbo man.

Except that I lived along Lagos-Abeokuta expressway when Obasanjo was president, and he lived in Ota, along the same road, and it was amongst the worst in the country despite my neighbor being president

And the road remains so till today despite Lagos/FG alignment, which was the reason given then. Tribal politics has never benefited any tribe in Nigeria. The north remains the poorest despite having the most presidents, Bayelsa remains poor with development issues despite GEJ.

2. Tinubu fixed Lagos. Increased IGR

Infact Tinubu paid for my WAEC in 2002. I thank him for that. I thank him. But there is more to my son’s future than Lagos’ revenue and WAEC. Lagos is not fixed, it is infact an epitome of Nigeria’s political corruption, underdevelopment and vested interest-driven rot - in transport system through NURTW, in corruption by public officers, wasteful spending, collapse of infrastructure and delays of infrastructural projects despite huge revenue potential, high handedness of security officials, etc.

I do not believe Tinubu will cause a paradigm shift in governance in Nigeria, because clearly, governance in Lagos has even come to represent the very worst of Nigerian governance - cronyism, favoritism, extortion, bribery, violence, rigging, crude godfatherism, profligacy, etc

So where will a man who has enabled this for over 20yrs suddenly get the change we need from? The contest is not between Tinubu as governor vs Peter Obi as governor. It is between Tinubu as a political shark and enabler of profligate governance vs. Reform-minded minimalism of PO

3. Peter Obi is IPOB. Atiku will unify Nigeria.

Except that Atiku has NEVER called out herdsmen attack on other tribes because of his cultural linkage, never called out banditry will his full chest, never called out religious killings in the north - infact deleted a tweet on his behalf condemning the killing of Deborah. Never condemned terrorism-linked Minister Pantami, and shown consistently that he is a closet Buharist waiting to launch his tribal &religious bias once he reaches Aso rock. But its Obi who has repeatedly denied IPOB that is the problem

4. Peter Obi cannot win. Labour Party has no structure

Many of us have since agreed that real structural change in Nigeria cannot come from the two dominant parties - the only way to achieve this is for a people-backed candidate to win. This is the closest we have being to this.

Else, others will be more sympathetic to their badly corrupt political structures. Tinubu and Atiku are amongst the biggest gladiators of that corrupt political structure. LP and Obi have built a momentum that is reverberating across the world. It can happen and it is happening.

5. Peter Obi’s supporters are toxic and abusive. I can never align with such bullies.

Well, all thanks to Buharists who introduced this approach in 2015, and to be fair, it worked for ousting GEJ and built momentum for Buhari globally.

That GMB ended up a complete calamity isn’t because of that support, but because he was never a good candidate. Peter Obi is by all parameters better than Buhari. The anger is even more justified now because the rot has further deepened. Nigerians are dying like chickens.

You can’t expect a dying man to be smiling at you for supporting his killers. APC ruined Nigeria in the past 7.5years. Tinubu endorsed the ruin and his boys benefitted from it. If that same level of venom is required to achieve the 2015 effect, then sorry, but I’m not sorry.

"These are the reasons why I won’t vote Peter Obi". I won’t vote him alone. I will vote him with my family, friends and all associates I can rally.



Lovers of bad governance a.k.a Urchins read the first line with joy only to realize they got fooled after reading the whole post

BATified2023:
Suddenly peter obi is now an angel dismantling what he was part of for good 16 years?

At times I wonder if it’s not d same peter obi of pdp? D same man that was one of Jonathan financial advisers?
The same man that was atiku vp last election?

What has changed?

When did atiku n pdp suddenly become d devil?

D question sane Nigerians should ask obi is that , if pdp had given peter obi ticket will he b saying all these today?

Has he ever ruled anyone in Kogi before?!

The Constituency he represent in Lagos is far ahead of anywhere in Kogi, Anambra or Adamawa

Deegee7788:
Make we no lie, lokoja worse. I am an indigene but I stay outside the state because there is nothing for the youth there. The weather is harsh. Economy is poor. Gbogbo e, rubbish. We pray for a good leader. Kogi is having same problem Nigeria have.

babasolution:
Have seen several threads and comments were lokoja is described as the worst capital in Nigeria and the most underdeveloped.

But is this really true given the situation of kogi.

Kogi state is composed of minority tribes who do not have strong representatives at the federal. How many strong kogi ministers have there been since 1999.

The federal investments in kogi such as the ajoakuta steel are moribund.The state investments like the dangote cement factory are doing relatively well but it's not enough.

Kogi population is relatively low with different tribes who stay more in their localities than in the capital, that's why I think lokoja is small.

Most kogi people either reside in Abuja or in their hometowns not in lokoja.

Have been in kogi before like over ten years back,I think the state is cool and quite organised. It just needs work on the roads which are particularly bad and clean up.

Lokoja is not bad as people paint it,most people that travel through lokoja only see the outskirts and assume that's how the whole town is.

Lokoja is a small town but not as bad as painted given the situation of the state itself

Thought they said its not easy to enter Japan.

iezeiyida:
Mehn no be small something. Freezing cold wan kill my Naija sister.. that's why I don't like living in the UK or any of these freezing cold climes.

If I wan Japa, I prefer somewhere like Japan and Qatar because money dey there, and no suffering from harsh cold

Awoleesu:
Money dey Japan but cold dey too...
You see that Qatar ehn? No even think am. Na scam!

DivinegiftofGod:
That is why she's cursing them because they didn't make the country conducive for her to stay, which is why going back is out of it and she's now having to endure the cold which could eventually lead to her death as a result of their failure to do the needful.

buhariguy:
no, thief oyedepo is mad, collecting money from the poor and enriching himself, no be juju be that.
And he will turn to blame the government.
Thief oyedepo is a scam

newnigerdelta00:
I guess he's your useless biological father,I'm just guessing.

BluntTheApostle:
Nigeria is not a theocracy like the kingdom of Israel where kings were anointed by a prophet.

If indeed Oyedepo said that, he needs to watch his utterances.

That was how he made a statement then that Christians and Muslims are not the same, forgetting that Jesus Christ never discriminated against anyone.

Oyedepo behaves like a Pharisee. If he were present during the time of Jesus Christ, he would have been one of those that criticized Jesus Christ for dining with sinners.

Oyedepo is not a man of God. A true man of God will know how to watch his tongue and mind his utterances. He is a Pharisee. A hypocrite.

Why can't these northern hausa/fulani muslims have the decency to separate themselves from the south and form their own islamic country where they will live by their own strict muslim laws and doctrines? I don't understand why they are so determined to live with people they see as fake muslims and infidels?

TheNiceGuy:
Politician are not learned Muslims, most of them are Muslims by name.

Calling Allah or referring to Him as Father is against the preachings of Islam as well as exchanging handshake of male politician with female. All of them fall into this category.

On Arab religion na him you carry for head Africans are cursed

So don't castigate one and leave others, he should rather be corrected

baretalk:
Stupid Almajiri fanatic, do you know Arabs enslaved you, and force this Islam on you. Mumu. Leave him to call his Allah, father.

Moh247:




Rufai is riding a tiger's back thinking IPOB mobs are reliable


Not everyone can accept what Tinubu goes through daily, yet Tinubu had acted civil and kept on avoiding them as he had avoided Bode George and Pa Adebanjo all this while

Fani Kayode
Reno Omokiri
Dino Melaye
Nnamdi Kanu

This guys should let Rufai know he is dealing with very dishonest, disloyal crew
