It is becoming clearer day after day who will win the coming presidential election. We have seen Tinubu's outing in parts of SW, SE, SS, and NW. We have also seen Obi's outings - the difference is too clear. While it might be difficult for Obidients to accept the fact that the mood of the voters is not in their favor, Obi, their leader, should face the reality, step down for Tinubu and begin strategizing for another election. The 2023 election is definitely not for him. If he pushes ahead and loses woefully in the election, it may be his last presidential election outing as nobody would take him seriously again. Who follows Sowore again?

He, who fights and runs away, lives to fight another. Obi should run away now so he can fight another day...

It was a/an historic outing today for the APC as Tinubu/Shettima officially kicked off the presidential campaign of the party in the state. The full video of the event is provided here. It was big to say the least.

I have been monitoring the level of public interest in the campaigns by the major presidential contenders. Tinubu's campaigns usually come with so much publicity and interest. Even his enemies show more interest in his campaigns than their own candidates' campaigns. I also noticed that Tinubu's campaign usually starts a day before the main event with dinner, interactions with leaders, royal fathers, etc.

For others, you won't even know they are campaigning until the event has ended and someone remembers to share the photos of the campaign. E.g. The Atiku's campaign in Lagos some weeks ago and the one he held in Nasarawa today. Obi's campaign is even worse compared to that of Atiku. Nobody seems to be interested in Obi's campaign apart from his social media noise makers. And you don't hear anything even from his online army until after the event.

The arrival of Tinubu in Kaduna for Tuesday's campaign

These are the christians the Oponu (Obi) is hoping will vote for him

ItsTutsi:
Ahead of the 2023 election, Isaac Fayose, younger brother to former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said that he will start supporting Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that according to Fayose, being a Yoruba, he finds it “stressful” backing a presidential candidate of Igbo extraction considering people from that part of Nigeria ‘do not trust him’.

“Supporting Peter Obi is so stressful for a Yoruba person.

“The Igbos don’t trust themselves so how do I even expect them to trust me.

“I gave my hotel, time, money, sometimes my food bank and my space they still abuse me everyday,” he wrote on his known Facebook page

Following this post, a Facebook user accused him of secretly supporting Tinubu and working against Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to which he replied: “I will start supporting Tinubu now….He is my Yoruba brother.”

The dumbo received sense eventually. How can someone with a fully functioning brain support Obi?

ganisucks:
Clown, Chatham house invited Tinubu as a way to arm twist Obi into meeting with them. President Obi was their target all along; but he didn't want to meet with them. So they cleverly used the desperate gullible old man to force a meeting with Obi. Immediately after Tinubu finished his charade there, the British HC quickly denounced him. That was because Obi had agreed a meeting with them.

This is reminds me of the Nigerian comedian - Okporoko.
Why does anybody need to arm twist Obi? A man that is ready to attend a naming ceremony without invitation

Christian faithful across 11 local government areas of Ibadanland have endorsed Sen. Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, for the 2023 presidential election.
Led by their leaders, under the banner of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), they converged on Ilaji Resort, Ibadan, on Saturday to pray for Tinubu and his Vice, Kashim Shettima, to emerge victorious at the poll.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the event was sponsored by Chief Dotun Sanusi, the Otun-Apesinola of Ibadanland, and the Chief Executive Officer of Ilaji Hotels and Sports Resorts.
NAN reports the event featured special prayers for Nigeria, Oyo State, and the APC presidential candidate.
Sanusi said that the Christian faithful had come together to pray for Nigeria, Oyo State and take a
fundamental step in the endorsement of Tinubu as the president comes 2023.
The convener, represented by Mogaji Nurudeen Akinade, said that they could no longer afford to sit on the fence because they are traditional or religious leaders.
According to him, if we decided not to participate in what they are doing, then suspected criminals will
rule us.
Sanusi said he believed in development, progress, economic emancipation, social justice, religious tolerance, political stability, and adequate security of the country.
The convener said that he could not, as a successful entrepreneur, fold his arm to see the country derailing from the path of progress.
“I have sacrificed millions of naira as an employer of labour. My likes won’t be here and be playing to the gallery on who becomes the political head of this country.
“The only person we have that can move the country forward, ensure adequate security and bring economic stability to this country, is Bola Tinubu. He has done it before, I have confidence in him,” he said.
In his remarks, Rev. (Dr) Titus Morakinyo, the General Coordinator, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Ibadanland, said they were invited to the programme by Sanusi.
Morakinyo said, “as Christians and Pastors, we are fathers to all the political parties.”
He said that there was no crime in the Yorubas demanding the presidency, adding, “politics in Nigeria has been between the North and South.”
According to him, it has to come to somebody’s turn.
If you look at Nigerian politics, it’s being North and South, there is no problem. If the North has done it, it
has to come to the South.
“Once it is coming to the South, it is not criminal for Yorubas to aspire for the seat since they are part of the South,” he said.
The cleric urged the people to pray fervently for God’s mercy to have a violent-free election and smooth transition of power.
Also, Pastor Olusoji Adediji, the Olubadan Palace’s Chaplain, said they were at the event to endorse and pray for Tinubu’s victory.
“Today, we are all here to endorse and pray for Bola Tinubu to become Nigeria’s President comes 2023,” he said.
Commenting, an APC Chieftain, Dr (Mrs) Ronke Carew, described Tinubu as the most competent of all the presidential candidates and generally acceptable across the six geo-political zones.
Carew appreciated the Christian faithful for coming out en masse to endorse and pray for Tinubu, urging
them to also vote en masse for Tinubu’s victory at the polls.

Obi and his zombidients were hoping that SW Christians will vote along the religious line. How stupid can they be? Yoruba comes first before any other thing. Only a foolish yoruba will choose to vote for an incompetent man (Obi) because of religion.

Even though Tinubu was not in attendance at the kick-off of the novelty match in his honor, the stadium was almost filled up by spectators and lovers of Tinubu/shettima ticket.

Obi was in Taraba a few days and the stadium used was almost empty.

Obi's campaign in Taraba - see empty stadium after spending N20m

Even posters, we won't allow him to paste here... Lagos is contesting in this election and we must all support Lagos.

Let Lagos rule... and see how Nigeria will be transformed.

Kano stadium was agog yesterday as the former super eagles players honored Tinubu with a novelty match. Despite the little publicity, the stadium was almost filled up with supporters and football enthusiasts.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZiFQj1DsPM

Dreamer!
The N9m he gave for his shameful compaign in Taraba is still causing fracas amongst the corrupt party members there. The oponu that had to import igbos from neighboring states to Ibadan for a poorly attended campaign is dreaming of winning--- someone should wake this slow poke up

Racoon:
Peter Obi should kindly forget the Chatham House discuss to face the beleaguered masses.

He doesn't have the capacity to face the masses
He doesn't just know how to do it

Omalicious1:
The woman should be allowed to put the banner where it was... nobody should be threatened.

Why should a lie be allowed to stand in our progressive city? How can someone say Lagos belongs to Obi? How and where? Obi that can't paste his posters in Lagos?

She should take the banner to the gate of Anambra government house and change the inscription to Anambra belongs to Obi... and let's see.

DMerciful:
Are you genuinely showing a better way for Obi to campaign because you want him to succeed or you're being mischievous?

Wish an incompetent man success? I'm a patriotic Nigerian and therefore won't do that. My job is to run him down by all means to save my country.

triple996:
Oga your backyard is burning bt you are here visiting oba,

The man is ode original. He was in Ibadan for a rally some weeks ago and had to import people/igbos from Lagos, Ogun, etc. Every well-meaning Omoluabi and our Obas ignored him - they didn't even know he was in town. Now he is back again - to do what?

PrinceOfLagos:
You all remember I made a thread about a banner written "Lagos is for Peter Obi" that I saw in front of Yoruba woman's house where I usually go to roasted chicken for weekend? She has been threatened to remove the banner by Tinubu people after it made front page some days ago.

Here is the thread https://www.nairaland.com/7463164/lagos-obi-banner-spotted-front

So I passed through the area to buy roasted chicken for weekend and I couldn't find the banner again. I was told some guys went to the land lady house and threaten to demolish her house if she doesn't remove the banner .

See photos of when the banner was there and now that it has been removed .

Nlfpmod

Was the foolish mounter beaten to a stupor before the banner was removed? My Lagos for Obi?

For Tinubu, while the outing at Chatham House might not necessarily have any impact on his already successful campaign and acceptability across the country, it has however proved the naysayers wrong about his competence, health, etc. It sent a powerful nerve-calming message to many around the world about Tinubu, the most likely person to become the next president of Nigeria.

For Obi, however, many are still wondering how a speech at Chatham House would turn the table in his favor in critical regions like NW, NE, SW, and even SS. Most of the voters don't give a damn about the media talks and speech delivery obsession by the elites who are less than 10% of the voting population. Obi and his handlers should probably invest their time and resources in productive ventures and activities that can add real value to his electioneering efforts.

How a speech at Chatham House would make his VP win his Tundun Wada ward in Zaria is what I don't know

Payment for conspiracy... They should all continue to keep mute instead of condemning ESN/UGM and working with the government to fish out the criminal elements.

blamingthedevil:
Peter Obi is a Supreme Monkey- Katsina LP Presidential Campaign Coordinator

The man is saying the truth

As the election day draws closer, many are wondering who will be there for Obi at various polling units on election day in SE as political leaders, royal fathers, etc from the region have so far distanced themselves from his ambition. Obi was in Imo state recently and many were disappointed by the turnout. Apart from the fact that regional leaders and royal fathers were not there, even the attendance was nothing to be proud of given that SE/Imo is Obi's stronghold and the region he is using as a springboard.

On election day, the govs, political leaders, royal fathers, etc will be the ones mobilizing the people at the grassroots. If they are not for Obi, what then are Obi's chances of winning even in SE?

Amazing, Aboki fit get brain like this ( very intelligent man)


They were the ones who preferred to die if tinubu won.

Can you imagine? The same set of people and they will say all NIgerians - omo yibooos

As electioneering peaks up and candidates reel out their plans for the country, keen watchers can vividly see, even before the election, where the pendulum will eventually swing.

We have a candidate whose acceptability cut across regions and religions in the race. This same candidate has so much to talk about in terms of track record and capacity. He is also being hosted across regions by business leaders, sector leaders, religious leaders, political leaders, etc.

In the same race, we have candidates who will end up sharing the votes of a dying opposition.

Tell me who the winning candidate is...

https://nigeriansdecide.com/who-should-be-the-president-of-nigeria-in-2023/

Dear Nigerians,

Here is a poll for us all...

Omo yiboo will always win on internet. 95% of those voting for him are not in Nigeria and those who are here don't have PVC.
And when the honest Nigerians vote once, omo yiboos would create multiple accounts to vote.

DaddyFreeze2020:
I have noticed the Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu is only accepted among his followers (Disciples) on very few social media platforms like Nairaland, about one or two states in the South West where he's ardent followers reside and some few diaspora supporters in places like London who are not really aware of the economic comatose and collapse the APC tolled on Nigeria.

Any keen and unbiased observer in Nigerian politics will tell you that Tinubu is only popular (as the candidate of a ruling party) but not accepted on the streets.


Take any unbiased street poll in any location even in some rural areas with no electricity across Nigeria from SW to NW to SE to NE to NC to SS, and you'll be very shocked how ordinary Nigerians resent and hate the APC's project for Presidency under Tinubu.


Anybody is free to dispute these facts, but the outcome of the 2023 General Election will give such an individual the realistic result.

I keep wondering if these zombidients live in Nigeria. Tinubu has supporters in 1 or 2 states in south west? Only a confirmed ignorant would spew this.

Anyway, I have noticed that zombidients want to keep hope alive till Feb 25. Even south-east, your people were falling over one another to welcome Tinubu and even hosted him to a lavish dinner. We saw Obi's rally in Imo and that day, I knew what the outcome of voting in igboland would be. The issue is, nobody will be shocked because we all know what the result will be even before the ballot is cast.

Like Soludo said, Obi knows he can't win and he knows that we know he can't win.

Following Tinubu's successful outing and robust delivery at Chatham House, Obi and his team have fought for a slot on Dec 15 at Chatham House. Instead of facing his campaign at home (which isn't doing well at the moment), Peter Obi is going to London with his team to deliver a speech at Chatham House.

How this will help his dwindling campaign momentum at home is yet to be explained by his handlers.

I want those filling stations punished for making us suffer for days.
A few of them should be closed down and the owners taken away be DSS. They don't deserve to live among human beings.

babaolofin:
IBO made. Whenever you have original, you must have IBO made.

Ade Omole and the team that worked round the clock to make the second edition of the APC International Press Conference a Success , we really appreciated your efforts. Thanks.

In 2015 when Tinubu organized that conference to showcase APC to the International Communities and Nigerian partners in UK and Europe it was the first time a Nigerian Political Party and the Presidential candidate will be having such before election.

A nairaland user - eriokanmi a very exposed and intelligent person whom I respected much made a remark when it was announced last week that Tinubu would be having International Press conference at Chatham House this week. He said it was Peter OBI that started having International Press Conference in UK and that is why Tinubu is following his footsteps. I told him what he said was too childish and unexpected from a person of his calibre and I am disappointed in him.

He can now see for himself. The IBOs went to do fake product after an original product has been released. Oodua, Ogbon nbe, Eniyan siwa. Oodua, we are very intelligent, and we have men of no easy means. They can never understand.

Dino, Dele Momodu and the PDP PCC, Wazirin Adamawa is an elder statesman and a great man. Please, they should not ridicule the integrity of Atiku because of election. I will not say more than this.

I spent 6 years in the University in IBO land several years ago and I know them very well. I wish OBI a successful outing at Chatham House.

Looks like the guy is not worried by all the failed campaign rallies at home. I'm wondering how an ibo-made speech in chatham house will change his dwindling campaign momentum at home

After the failed campaigns at home
Taraba, Imo, Ibadan, Nasarawa, etc. This guy should stop wasting zombidients time and energy.

Obi knows he can't win and he knows that we know he can't win - Prof Charles Soludo

citygarden:
Icpc should also join them and DPR. Don't know the reason why oil marketers and nnpc just decided to suffer Nigerians. Since they privatized them, they are poor in their service.

Just like NEPA... We thought privatization would bring joy. Alas, we were wrong... Nigerians are wicked human beings.

The day the banks become professional and start working in the national interest, is the day Nigeria will begin to progress. Anything you put in the hand of Nigerians, won't work - like banks, like BDC. Dangote group had to fill its top hierarchy with Indians, Chinese, etc for the company to progress. With Nigerians in those positions, there wouldn't have been anything called Dantoge refinery, etc today.

https://www.channelstv.com/2022/12/08/breaking-dss-gives-nnpc-oil-marketers-48-hours-to-make-fuel-available-for-nigerians/

48 hours is too long, please. Activate the operation within the next 12 hours if they refuse to make fuel available to the people. What kind of wicked people do we have in this country?

Any feeling station, including NNPC stations, that refuse to sell should be forced to dispense the fuel in their reservoir for free and thereafter close down the stations for 5 years.

N power is meant for the masses not the affluence. ..

D'banj messed up big time

And who told you D'banj has any value before? Is it not the "sorosoke" generation that thinks water can come out of the rock?
How many of the so-called celebrities have value and have led a disciplined lifestyle?

SmartPolician:
According to reports, D’banj colluded with some government officials to introduce ghost beneficiaries into the payroll of the scheme.

The stipend paid to those beneficiaries was then paid to accounts that have now been allegedly linked to the pop star.

How can a country of over 200 million people be full of fraudsters from the richest to the poorest among them?

Have Nigerian families totally lost their values that everyone commits crimes without thinking of the impact it has on their reputation?

Do Nigerians even have names to protect?

Value and Nigerian family in the same sentence. That's long gone... na money everybody dey look for now and they don't care how it comes.
I really fear for the future of Nigeria.
