PrinceOfLagos:
They are liabilities yet Tinubu ran to them in London for endorsement

I laugh

Tinubu is finished politically

Tinubu doesn't need any of them to win this election as long as they don't support Atiku. They need Tinubu more now than Tinubu needs them.

The news of Wike-led G-5 govs' offer of partnership with Tinubu's team shouldn't come as a surprise to any experienced political watcher. I knew long before now that Wike has only one option and that option is to support Tinubu. Wike has gone too far into his battle with Atiku that gambling may be disastrous for his future. And gambling in this case is supporting an Obi who is struggling to get the support of his own people (the leaders in SE), let alone getting the support of the people that matter in this election (the core north).

G-5 govs' decision, therefore, is not a surprise to me, and I don't expect anybody to be surprised either. Wike is a politician and the only thing that can help his political career at the moment is to support Tinubu and ensure he defeats Atiku. He will be a fool to do otherwise.

Let's go guys...

Obi should follow suit... stand down and endorse Tinubu. That's the only way out for obidients, otherwise, the neck pressing and sleepless nights continue.

The elites has finally touched the tail of a sleeping tiger and now it's awake. The recent comments by Anambra billionaire Arthur eze against Peter obi has ignited rural march and rallies in Anambra, today we saw pics and videos of marches from different parts of Anambra.

Below are pictures of rally that took place from St Mathew Catholic church Amawbia to St Mathew Anglican church Nibo with Victor Umeh Oby Orogbu and other candidates.

Village people, who don't have a clue what development entails, want to rule Nigeria

So, agbero dey Anambra? The small London created by Obi

ganisucks:
The Labour party DG, Chief Akin Osuntokun has said that Gen Obasanjo is fully behind the campaign to make Peter Obi the next president of Nigeria.
He said this at an interview on the popular political show on channels TV: Politics today.
He also said that he has never lost an election in which he was part of a campaign team.
He won in 2003, 2011.
He further stated that Peter Obi as no rival or competition.

The more reason he would lose... Obj can't deliver his polling unit for Obi/LP.

Kapeter:
I shuttle between Ibadan, Abeokuta and Lagos often. I'm mostly on that expressway but for a while now I've been stuck in Ibadan cuz of the numerous evil new about the Fulani herdsman menace on that highway.

Just before this December I read on the news some AIG visited this very same highway and together with Seyi Makinde the governor of Oyo state, I remember they promised that the road will become safer and there should be no panicking or fear and that people should go about their journey as it would become just as before where everyone can travel safely using the expressway.

Hehe. Yesterday was my favourite cousin introduction at Abeokuta and I had no choice than to be there.

I took a public bus (not that I have a car though but I can always get one when the need arise) off to Abeokuta and on my way what I saw makes me wanna go to every SW government house and say a very big thank you to all our governors.

There are bunch of Amotekun stations, Police, Army. Almost at every where till the end of Oyo state axis and then when you get to the Ogun state axis, you will see the OP Mesa patrolling the whole expressway.

The Ibadan axis has actually been the hotspot for the criminals actually but almost everywhere on the road you will see Amotekuns station even 12 am I was still on the road yesterday travelling safely with peace of mind seeing the huge security on that expressway.

This is Akeredolus biggest achievement so far in governance as the chairman of the SWGF. I couldn't help but be once again glad and proud to be South Westerner yesterday when I saw Amotekuns stations all over the place.

What I found amazing the most yesterday was if your car/vehicle get broken, you'd be surprised at the speed the OP Mesas and Amotekuns would get to you to stay with you while you fix it. Damn. They will stay right there with you protecting you untill your car can move again. Na. This is all that I ever pray for.

I'm so proud of SW governors for Amotekun. God bless them so much. Tonim God bless you and yours too. Thanks for all the love you have for Yorubaland.

Yorubaland will sure take its place God willing.

When we say a progressive from southwest must rule Nigeria, this is the reason.

frank14011991:
This election might be won before February 25. Tinubu all the way

Bro, the election is won and lost already. The winner knows and the losers are only fighting a lost battle.
Tinubu has won already - celebration has commenced fully in our camp

cocolacec:
From April,2023 Biafrans seeking to stay in Nigeria for a short period of time,3 months or less will need a visa.Other categories of visas will be announced by the Nigerian Immigration Service.
Details coming soon.
God bless the federations of Nigeria
God bless Western region
God bless Northern region
God bless the Mid Western Region
God bless the Middle belt region.

if each region is to charge Biafrans $600 for visas,how much will each region make?

LeoDeKing:
Their names are:

This is why Pandora anini supporters are desperate. Nigeria will now create a ministry for bailing drugs criminals in diaspora.

May that never be our portion.

Kewtt:
Hmmm

According to the person recording ,some of the children being deported have their parents are in jail.

From South Africa to Cyprus to China to Cambodia to Turkey to Ethiopia to Ghana to Kenya to Malaysia to UAE to Italy to Thailand to Indonesia to India. What exactly is wrong with some Nigerians

They accused Nigerians of all sorts of crimes or Nigerians (Igbos) are committing all sorts of crimes? We know the truth, don't pity criminals.

Ken4Christ:
Wike and the G5 Governors will be the biggest fools to support Tinubu. They want to bring this country under Islam rule. Say no to Muslim Muslim ticket.

You're the fool. Wike can't be fighting Atiku and then decide to support a candidate with zero chance of winning

Have you also noticed that the political temperature goes down whenever Tinubu is on break? And when he comes back, everybody wakes up again including other contestants. We haven't seen any interesting electioneering news since Tinubu temporarily paused his campaigns for xmas and new year holidays and you won't see any until he returns to the square.

BOLATINUBU01:
u need to know that people don't vote on social media, people around me are not even talking of LP

No serious-minded person talks about LP. LP is an IDP camp for PDP rejects

newdawnlive:
I'm from Ibadan and also work in oshogbo, I can tell you that Accord party is more popular than labour party in the two states many people haven't heard about Peter Obi not to talk of LP, there's nothing like labour in Osun and Oyo, I don't know other south west state.

Don't mind the misguided supporters of Obi. His performance in the election will be woeful across the country. He can't even win in south east - all the leaders there are opposed to his ambition.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Is tinubu contesting for President of Lagos? Or you think tinubu would fill a stadium in Se or Ss on a working day without their governor declaring public holiday?

See Tinubu's campaign in Kaduna... The political capital of the north.

SmartPolician:
Politicians use money to mobilize people.
The South is not like the north where you have bunch of beggars looking for handouts.

Down south, people are busy doing business, working in office and trying to survive in an economy APC has totally destroyed. If you want to mobilize them, you have to pay them to leave their sources of livelihood for you.

In the South, crowd in campaign rallies doesn't determine the actual number of votes.

I am outta here...

Kogi is not south... It is in the north, yet no beggar was at his campaign ground

And which city is busier than Lagos in Nigeria? Here is Tinubu in Lagos at Teslim Balogun stadium

ryloy:
https://dailytrust.com/tinubu-wikes-camps-meet-to-finalise-deal-on-2023/

As I have been saying, Wike is looking for continued political relevance after 2023 and the only thing that can guarantee that is cutting a deal with the winning team. He can't afford to gamble with his political future by supporting a kindergarten candidate (Obi) who at the moment is not even sure of winning any state.

Each time Obi and the clowns supporting him give high hope of winning the forthcoming election, I wonder where the hope comes from. Obi has been moving from one state to the other for campaign and everywhere he goes, the campaign ground is always empty, especially whenever he naively decides to use a stadium instead of a secondary school playing ground as he did in Ibadan, Imo, Nasarawa, etc.

I heard some of his supporters were jubilating over the 5 musketeers' (Wike and others) plan to support Obi and I couldn't believe the dilution. Can Makinde win Oyo for Obi ? Obi can't even come 4th in Oyo state whether Makinde supports him or not.

pacesetting:
A single local government in Lagos generates more revenue than most states in Nigeria. If you believe Lagos progressed during Tinubu's regime, you are not well informed. His government favored politicians and impoverished the masses.

All the 13% derivatives on top NDDC allocations, what did you guys do with funds? It has been looting, looting, looting... and a professor fainting in the full glare of the camera when called to account for spent funds.

Oluwatoyink:
https://dailypost.ng/2022/12/27/how-peter-obi-will-win-2023-presidential-election-doyin-okupe/

Nigeria won't be handed over to ex-convicts and money launderers... How did the millions in Obi's secret accounts get there?

Nyanmuri and development are eternal enemies. All their brain capacity can do is petty trading and cheating.
See development in Lagos... Because they don't have the capacity to do this, they're envious of us.
Ordinary social media platform like Nairaland, nyamuri can't create their own. They have to depend on us to provide a platform for them. Nyamuri...

owobokiri:
Straight to the point; No president who genuinely loves his country, will decide at the end of his tenure, to orchestrate a political environment in which his possible successor will emerge from two highly discredited individuals that have been proven to be totally corrupt and infirm to govern effectively.

The decision to make Bola Ahmed Tinubu the candidate of the ruling party, is by far the most anti Nigerian decision openly taken by a sitting Nigerian president post independence! This is a man whose drug dealing past is well documented. The Nigerian intelligence services must have vital intels on this, so the president is aware. A man who loots Lagos State on daily basis! Yet Buhari handed over the flags of the ruling party The APC to this man!

If Tinubu wins and runs Nigeria for another eight years with his highly corrupt gang of executive thieves, how could this unfortunate country survive? How would life be for ordinary Nigerians already pauperized by APCs bad governance? The country will essentially be the butt of international jokes! How can a patriotic president champion the campaign of a proven drug lord as his preferred successor while still making greater claims to greater patriotism?

In a country that can boast of some of the finest brains on earth, a socalled patriotic president went for a senile drug convict as his chosen successor! That is telling. That shows you that none of these characters running the country actually love the country. Nigeria is just their meal ticket and the Niger Delta oil is nothing but a civil war booty that keeps them entangled with a country they loath so much..

Let us not even get into his borrowing habits that has turned Nigerias total Oil earnings into the property of foreign estate as everything earned from Oil exports are used to service obnoxious loans borrowed by this queer regime to build up infastructures in his hometown in Niger Republic while Nigerians suffer.., his grand nepotism that has torn the country apart and has now led to the emergence of different militant groups, the monumental corruption in his administration and his tone-deaf approach to basic governance and foreign policy pursuits!

No one who loves his fatherland treats it with so much disdain and with so much hate and levity.. This president is pursuing an anti Nigeria agenda!

Buhari Actively Hates This Country

Why not wait till Feb 25 before you start crying? At least, enjoy the xmas and new year celebrations first before facing the reality of the election.

*POLITICS 2023: Tension In PDP As G5 Governors Hold London Meeting, Narrow Down Preferred Presidential Candidate To Two*

Tuesday, December 27th, 2022 at 7:43 AMBy Oladipo Abiola
Kindly share this story:

2023: Tension In PDP As G5 Governors Hold London Meeting, Narrow Down Preferred Presidential Candidate To Two

The five aggrieved Governors within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) popularly known as the G5 are set to take a final decision on the presidential candidate to support for the 2023 elections.
To this end, the Governors are said to have taken their meeting to London, United Kingdom where they are expected to conclude on a preferred candidate before making their choice public in January 2023.


Naija News recalls the Governors; Nyesom Wike (Rivers State), Seyi Makinde (Oyo State), Samuel Ortom (Benue State), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia State) and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu State) took a stand against supporting the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

They insisted on the resignation of the PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu from office and his replacement with a southerner as the only condition to support Atiku’s 2023 bid.

However, despite several meetings and entreaties on how to resolve the disagreement, Ayu has refused to step down and the Governors have also not changed their position.

Information gathered by Naija News has it that as the Governors hold a strategic meeting in London, they might have totally ruled out any chances of supporting the PDP and Atiku.

A source added that the G5 Governors are set to choose between the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Tinubu, or the Labour Party (LP) flagbearer, Peter Obi.

While the Governors are said to be focused on supporting a southern candidate, they also want to choose a candidate that would defeat Atiku so they won’t become a subject of mockery after the 2023 polls.

The source said a final decision is set to be made at the London meeting as the G5 governors may kick off campaign on January 5.

As quoted by The Nation, the source said: “The London meeting is a wrap-up session on their preferred presidential candidate who will also be part of the campaign in their respective states.

“Before they left, the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was already out of their equation. Both Atiku’s running mate, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, and Governor Emmanuel Udom did not succeed in prevailing on the G-5 to support the PDP candidate.

“They claimed that Okowa and Udom are parts of the problem in PDP because they refused to abide by the decision of the Southern governors on power shift to the South.

“They have drawn the battle lines with Atiku. They have foreclosed any reconciliation. They will now meet at the poll to settle political scores.


“The G-5 governors have to choose between Tinubu and Obi. They have to consider all options, including the consideration of who has the strength or figures to defeat Atiku in the presidential poll.

“It is no longer about sentiments, but facing the reality on whose figures can add up to win the poll for power shift to the South, which is their ultimate objective.”

Fear Of Supporting A Weak Candidate
In settling for their preferred presidential candidate, the G5 Governors are said to be wary of supporting a weak candidate who may lose the election.






They are reportedly monitoring political developments in the country and will try and choose the best candidate to go up against Atiku.

Another top source said: “The greatest fear of the G-5 governors is supporting a weak candidate who may lose the presidential election. Then, all their objective, plot and bragging will come to naught.

“Yet, they want to prove a point to PDP that they are a force to reckon with. If they fail to make an impact in 2023 poll, it will spell doom for their political career.

“As politicians, the G-5 governors have been closely monitoring the campaigns and political trends in the country. They will use available statistics at their disposal to determine whether or not to back Tinubu or Obi.”

Obasanjo Angle On Peter Obi
Further information has it that three of the G5 Governors (Wike, Ortom and Makinde) recently had a meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo and he appealed to them to support Peter Obi.

Obasanjo was said to have hinged his choice on the argument that the Igbos should be given a chance to produce the next President of Nigeria.

A close aide of one of the governors was quoted to have said: “Obasanjo made the plea during a private session with Wike, Ortom and Makinde.

“Some of the governors are not for Obi, but they are already aiding him with logistics, including free use of stadia for campaign.

Five Likely Outcomes Of The London Meeting
A third source, who has been privy to the plans of the Governors listed some possible outcomes of the G5 strategic meeting in London as follows:

*To endorse Tinubu or Obi and damn the consequences

* A flat option: To support Tinubu or Obi with resources and the right environment to woo voters in the five states

*Leave every governor to take any decision based on political exigency in each state or zone

* Refuse to campaign for Atiku and allow the electorate in each state to decide who to vote for.

*Keep their game plan to themselves by waiting till the last minutes before making a pronouncement on their preferred candidate.

Choosing a candidate that can defeat Atiku means choosing Tinubu... except they are politically naive.

With all the political, business, and community leaders in southeast dissociating themselves from Obi, who will be there for him on election day and how will he win even in southeast? Obi should leave this race... to avoid woefully disappointing the clowns called obidients.

Said a man who couldn't dismantle the PDP's house of cards and had to run away for a temporary abode at a political IDP camp called the LP.

Of all the presidential candidates, the Christmas message from Tinubu stands out and further gives hope that a bridge builder is taking over Aso rock come 2023. In the Christmas message, he extended a hand of fellowship to even his opponents in the race, admonishing that the rigorous task of nation-building must not be sacrificed on the altar of bitter politicking.

By Omeiza Ajayi, Abuja

The presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has felicitated Christians, including his political opponents, on the occasion of this year’s Christmas celebration.

He said no matter their political differences, they are all Nigerians and must be committed to the task of nation building.
