The house was built with solid materials like the Cocoa House in Ibadan.
And probably his children have continued to maintain the house in its former shape

Its obvious Fashola knows the majority of the 12 million youths want to vote Peter Obi.

But in a bid to support Tinubu his Master, Fashola has started making stupid statements that 12 million votes are insignificant in an election.

The campaign of opposition presidential candidate Peter Obi is ‘anchored on equity, justice and fairness,” the Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, said on Friday.

Mr Umahi, a member of Nigeria’s ruling party, All Progressive Congress (APC), however, said he believes Mr Obi will not win the presidential election.

The Ebonyi State governor spoke Friday afternoon after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

“Peter Obi movement is a movement that is anchored on equity, justice and fairness. It may not translate to outright win because I must defend my party, I must wish my party well,” the governor said.

Mr Obi is the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).

Mr Umahi sought to be the APC presidential candidate but lost the party’s primary to the former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu.

He also said it is unfair to associate the criminality by insurgent groups in the South-east with Mr Obi.

He said although he remains loyal to the APC and hopes for the victory of the party’s candidate, Mr Obi will win “substantial votes” from the South-east.

“What happened during the primaries of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and APC, were a kind of miscalculation by people, but to say whether they (South-east) are ready for the presidency of the country anytime, I think that the movement of Peter Obi is an eye opener. That’s why I said I love what he’s doing,” he said.

“I’m encouraged by what he’s doing. Because if he’s not doing what he’s doing, it means that the South-east would have been forgotten.

“So why my party takes the victory, he would have prepared a very good ground for the South-east presidency, so that nobody is going to write us off. And you can see the level of his acceptability,” Mr Umahi added.

He said aside from the candidate of his party, APC, he would prefer Mr Obi to win the presidential election in 2023, saying that there is no moral justification for northern Nigeria to be seeking another shot at the presidency after Mr Buhari.

APC chances in South-east
The governor said the APC would face a different battle for votes in the South-east because of the current interest of south-easterners in the presidency and the involvement of Mr Obi in the race.


“It’s going to be a different ball game altogether. Because when the campaign starts, yes, the interest of our people in terms of presidency is there, you can’t wish it away,” he said.

APC crisis
Mr Umahi said he was not surprised by the crisis in his party, arguing that a crisis is inevitable in a “big house” like the APC.


He dismissed claims that the crisis could hurt the party’s chances at the general elections, pointing out that the leadership of the party has set up a “mechanism” to resolve the crisis ahead of the general elections.

“We don’t have issues in the APC like the kind of issues that are in other parties. And I think we are well prepared for victory in 2023,” he stated.

Despite agitations by South-east leaders that the region should be given an opportunity to produce a president for the first time in 2023, the two dominant political parties, APC and PDP, picked their candidates outside the South-east.

Mr Obi, who hails from Anambra State, South-east Nigeria, has been garnering huge support from the region.

The LP candidate was a presidential aspirant of the PDP, before he announced his resignation from the party, a few days before its presidential primary, saying there were practices in the party that were inconsistent with his “belief and persona.”

Many residents of the South-east believe that Mr Obi’s candidacy is an opportunity for the region to take a shot at the presidency in 2023.

Reno can never point fingers at South East. Those guys from there are hardworking hustlers with their various businesses spread across Nigeria unlike some from places like North, South West always looking for assistance from Celebs, politicians etc.
You can hardly see people from SE looking for assistance...except possibly few

The Presidency is returning to the South.
Northerners have never liked Atiku and his policies on issues.
Why didn't Northerners vote massively for Atiku in previous elections?
Any Northerner supporting Atiku coz of religion and tribal affiliation is a hypocrite and wasting his/her time voting PDP

I Will Vote For Peter Obi As President.
Don't be deceived by the Social Media political handlers of the APC
This is the position of the majority of Yorubas today.

At the national level we would have voted for VP Yemi Osinbajo whom we all campaigned for, but since he's out of the race, we have switched to the alternative credibly competent Southern Christian candidate which is Peter Obi.

A NORTHERNER CANNOT REPLACE A NORTHERNER.. ATIKU SHOULD REST BECAUSE SOUTHERNERS ARE NOT SECOND CLASS CITIZENS.

A MUSLIM CANNOT SUCCEED A FELLOW MUSLIM LET ALONE TOLERATING A MUSLIM-MUSLIM TICKET. TINUBU SHOULD REST BECAUSE CHRISTIANS ARE NOT SECOND CLASS CITIZENS IN NIGERIA.

On Southern Christian Presidency we shall all stand, for equity and Justice.

Vote Peter Obi for Justice, competence and equity..

Yoruba Lagba !!

Well, Nigerians should be aware that another vote for APC is an invitation to sustenance of insecurity and economic failures.

LP and PDP are still better options. Any Nigerian who wants to vote for APC again with all the red flags and danger signs in it, needs to visit a neuro-psychiatric hospital.

P1PrinceKT:
Are you sure you understand the headline?

Mr. ITK
I'm not commenting based on the headline

Dino - 10
FFK -3

Dino giving FFK wotowoto.

The APC will loot to emptiness the remaining resources Nigerians are still enjoying now if given another opportunity.
As long as we're so focused on crude oil, we'll keep having short changes in the upstream and downstream non-renewable energy sector.

He may not even get any bloc votes.
Labour Party will have more votes than APC in SW.
It has grabbed the passion of the majority of the younger generation in South West and many older educated folks.

Meanwhile;

ATLIEN2027:
Nigerians are not stupid. They are not going to vote for a pathological liar Peter Obi- tuary ipob project..

Keep your opinion to yourself. You're not a Nigerian. Nigerians will vote for Peter Obi massively.
Atliens are not Nigerians.

Nairaland MODS and some OPs are becoming obsessed with Anambra State.
Lagos State experiences more accidents than Anambra State

Congratulations to her.

Nigerians cannot afford Agbado and Cassava talks with the PM of the United Kingdom for the next 4 to 8yrs.
We need ideal and objective driven leadership to pilot the affairs of Nigeria both locally and internationally from 2023, not the share the money political brouhaha type of leadership that will be operated by the APC and PDP

We must all work to accomplish this

goshikid:
obi is not going anywhere my brother
It's pdp or nothing

Your choice and you will keep suffering in the North

Nigerians just have to Leave PDP and APC alone, except they want to keep suffering underdevelopment.

Every Nigerian knows the Presidential candidates of PDP & APC have nothing good for the future of Nigeria, except the old method of sharing money among themselves and party loyalist.

Nigerians (Yorubas, Hausas and Igbos) have to think straightforward in 2023 or else they'll be left in the shackles of slavery to greedy politicians without conscience.

...
To secure the future of your children.

Fake news. APC national Chairman is Adamu
Btw
To secure the future of your children

Meanwhile only Peter Obi keeps talking about utilising the vast agricultural lands in Northern Nigeria for export production among all the Presidential candidates in Nigeria.

See this perfect campaign pics by the Obidients

Hope part of the solution will not be sucking the resources for the future generation as you are sucking Lagos State dry
