AntiTerrorist: We Yoruba Christians will vote Obi since Tinubu is on Muslim-Muslim ticket. When MURIC told Yoruba Muslims not to vote Yoruba Christians, Tinubu supported MURIC on that. So we Yoruba Christians are not fools to vote muslim-terrorist ticket.
No spirit-filled Christian will vote kleptomaniac-terrorist ticket at this time in Nigeria when there's a good and balanced alternative in Peter Obi. We SW say no to muslim-terrorist ticket. You can't Islamise us again.
Only a few inconsequential bigots like you will vote for Obi. Even if you rig for Obi at your polling unit, which you can't because you're a minority there, he can't get 15% of the votes in SW.
The Sokoto and Lagos coordinators should be changed forthwith.
I know competence is probably the criteria here but knowing how sensitive Nigerians are, this kind of rookie mistake should have been avoided.
Peter Obi is positioned to win this election but careless unforced errors should be reduced to the barest minimum...
Even if he does, it won't correct the damage that has been done. His list has confirmed once again that Obi is incompetent and lacks the capacity to manage a diverse country like ours.
mastermaestro: Obi should have this reviewed if he wants Northern votes. Southern votes alone cannot make him president. Work with indigenous people in every state of the federation.
Atiku may just end up being president.
Even if he puts the name Sultan of Sokoto, northerners won't vote for him. He is both a religious and tribal bigot - 2 in 1 keg of gunpowder. And his first list is the genuine one from his naive mind. Any modification won't be taken seriously by anybody
Appointing an unknown ifeanyi Ezeagu, a staunch Nyam!ri by face, intonation and by both First name and surname to coordinate and mobilise voters from a core Northern state as sokoto?
*Sokoto states with 96% Fulani/hausa *98% muslims. *Sit of muslim caliphate, HRH the sultan *80% voters turnout .. Which is almost like 1m+ expected voters.
And a party just decided to fling it into the waste bin because of tribalism and extreme religion bigotry that has eaten deep into its Candidate and hatred filled supporters.
The issue is, who else would Obi have appointed in Sokoto? Who will take up an ill-climbing challenge in a scorching sun? LP party members in sokoto can't be more than 100 and 95% of them are igbo traders there. Even in Lagos, they couldnt find a yoruba man or woman to serve as coordinator, let alone sokoto. Obi's ambition is DOA.
CilicMarin: There is no way a presidential campaign list made up of about: Tribally: 90% Igbos 6% Yoruba 2% Hausa/ Fulani 2% others.
Religion:
95% Christians, 4% Jews and 1% Muslim should be taken seriously by anybody in a secular country like Nigeria.
To further add salt to injury, they even nominated Igbo Men to man their Campaign in Lagos and Sokoto States .
Okupe was probably smoking loud, when he was compiling the list
kindergarten party fielding a kindergarten presidential candidate. Ordinary campaign list, Obi doesnt know how to balance it and ensure all tribes and regions are equally represented. Wouldn't it be a good thing for Obi to do this? No, the campaign list must be dominated by igbos - the people he trusted. If this one wins the presidency, he will declare a state of emergency in most of the northern states and put igbo men there as administrators.
Nyamuri: But its still an insult and a slap to the Yoruba race! A whole Lagos he can't find a Yoruba person
I'm a northerner, but ur woke Yoruba people are ur major problem! Just imagine if it was Tinubu that appointment a Yoruba in Anambra or Enugu.. or Atiku appointing a northerner in those states!
I don't see it from that perspective. As a matter of fact, it would be a plus for Obi if he could get a strong Yoruba politician who has some followership to serve as his campaign coordinator. That he couldn't get one shows Obi is only trying to build something on nothing in Lagos.
What's ASUU trying to achieve with the ongoing voting on resumption? A court of law directed ASUU to resume work and our learned teachers are voting on whether to obey the court order or not. Is it up to them?
tribalmall: Peter Obi List Igbo To Coordinate Lagos State
Woke and foolish Yoruba na for your very eye Igbos will take over your heritage.
Ti yin to ta. So there is no charismatic Yoruba in the length n breath of the entire SW to coordinate Lagos for Peter Obi ?
Was this not exactly what Nnamdi Azikwe did when he appointed an Igbo as premier of East region and the bastard wanted to impose himself as premier in the West.
I am waiting patiently to hear what the bunch of lunatics populating Afenifere as to say.
Because no serious-minded Yoruba would waste his time and energy on Obi's gamble. Any Yoruba name you find on that list, research him very well, he has no electoral value and can't deliver even a polling unit
SojWORLDWIDE: A fresh crisis is brewing between the Labour Party and the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation following plans by the latter to unveil a campaign council which the party described as alien, The Vanguard reported.
The Dr Doyin Okupe-led Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organization yesterday sent out invitations for the official unveiling of the P.O Presidential Campaign Council scheduled to hold on Wednesday.
However, Vanguard’s check at the Labour Party National Secretariat, in Abuja, revealed that the party is not officially involved in the planning nor has it sanctioned the programme.
An invitation card signed by the Director General of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation, Dr Doyin Okupe, announced that the unveiling ceremony will take place at 12:00 Noon, at the Golden Hall, Chelsea Hotel, Central Business District, Abuja. The invitation tagged: “The Director General Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation, Dr Doyin Okupe Cordially Invites you to a Pre-Campaign World Press Conference and the presentation of the Presidential Campaign list …” was signed by Emeka Edmond Onwuocha, on behalf of Okupe.
However, party insiders who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media because “the matter is being sorted out” said the party is not party to the unveiling. One of the sources said, “As I speak to you, the Labour Party has not okayed any list of members of the Presidential Campaign Council because there are yet-to-be-resolved issues.
“Most of us are of the opinion that our campaign council must be all-embracing and enjoy the national spread. We must not repeat the mistakes of the political parties we want to replace. “Our Presidential candidate is from the South, the DG of the campaign is also currently from the South. The provisional list I saw leaves out most of the north.
“There is no official of substance from the North East, North West and the North Central for example. “How can we campaign in these places when we know what we are up against with Atiku and Kwankwaso in the North and Tinubu in the South?
“Even the Diaspora Committee earlier inaugurated is almost exclusive to one section of the country.” When contacted, the National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Comrade
Arabambi Abayomi said, “I’m hearing about this (event) from you. We are having our National Working Committee meeting on Thursday, that is where issues about and around the campaign are discussed.

It tilted to SE because they couldn't find people in other regions to enlist. No serious-minded person will put his time on a failed project.
SteveDGreat: Here is the Full List of Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council Team.
List is well balanced filled with Intellectuals.
Notably among the list
Reimi Sonaiyi. Fmr Presidential Aspirants Kowa. Just look at Sen. Nenadi Usman, Fmr Finance Minister. Seyi Awolowo, Pa Awolo Grandson . Gen John Enenche. Fmr Defense Spokesman.
Mr Dahiru Majeed(Very sound Political Analyst. Wrote a piece, the Danger of PDP sailing against the wind during. He clearly ask PDP to give Obi the ticket then). The selection of Tanko Yunusa as Spokesman against Kenneth Okonkwo is wisdom personified. Selecting Kenneth Okonkwo would have sparked ethnic rift
Most of the people on the list will lose their polling unit... The Govs are waiting for you.
XerXers: Which hole did you crawl from? Peter Obi's popularity rose through his speaches at the Platform concerning his tenure as governor of Anambra state
You're talking about speeches and we are looking for physical evidence. We can't find anything that matches the rhetoric from Obi and his supporters.
What can be more embarrassing than this? ICAN called the presidential candidates to come and talk about sustainability. Sowore took a jab at the body saying stealing over N100B by an ICAN member is not sustainable
Ocean surge is also a natural disaster... We tamed it here in Lagos. Go back home and call rallies to demand good governance from your governors. Instead, you're here defending them and even saying one of the failures (Obi) should be made the president.
XerXers: Of course, I am well loaded with more. I will fight shyt with shyt
Show me one place in Lagos with the kind of flood we see in Anambra? Rain water on the road is not the same as a whole community finding itself underwater. Stop fooling yourself - press your governors' neck as we press your neck here.
It is clear that Tinubu's campaign is standing on two pillars. His performance as Lagos state governor and the performance of the APC government in the last 7 years. While the Tinubu camp confidently talks about Tinubu's performance in Lagos and anchors their campaigns mainly around it, the same can't be said of Peter Obi's supporters. I haven't seen Obi and his supporters anywhere refer to any of Obi's policies as the reason for trusting his competence and capacity to lead the country.
XerXers: Anambra experience flooding alongside other states along the River Niger only when a dam is opened. The last time it happened was 2012. Lagos experience flooding yearly, if flooding is a yardstick to measure governor's performance Lagos is the worst
A shitty thread and you've responded to it three different times. You even went into a research mode We will continue to press your neck
successmatters: Baba, dredging is different from sand filling your state or creating a sand barrier. Do you know about a body called the FIWA?
Who cares how they do it, just tell your governors to stop the flooding... We solved our own problems through hard work and ingenuity. Do the same and stop blaming the FG.
successmatters: If only the Federal government allowed Anambra state government work on the river Niger, Anambra and the surrounding states will be a beauty to behold.
The federal government refused to dredge the River Niger, refused to operate the river port that would have driven commerce to inland towns and even delayed the second Niger Bridge till today!
The federal government of Nigeria has, through the Constitution, held on to some vital developments in the south east, using the exclusive list to deceive all of us.
Do you know how hard and long Obiano fought before he could build a common airport in Anambra, he had to do it by force. The second Niger Bridge is not even as long as some bridges already built in Anambra state by past governors.
The problem on the south east, is created and sustained by the federal government.
Instead of you putting pressure on your governors and demanding good governance, you would rather blame FG - I really pity you guys.
FG allowed Lagos state government to work even on the Ocean (the bar beach comes to mind). So, why won't the FG allow Anambra to work on river niger to save people's lives?
KSBlog: PO is not waging any war on Atiku because of vp position. He had left PDP before PDP even concluded it's presidential primaries, let alone choose a vp. PO is simply contesting to work for the betterment of the nation. And by God, he will win.
That's the ignorance we've been trying to free you guys from. Obi knew long before the primaries he wasn't going to be on Atiku's ticket this time around.
