The North has two strong candidates. Even though one is weaker than the other.

The South also has two strong candidates. Although one is weaker, despite being in the ruling party

The middle belt vote cast will play a great role in determining the winner of the Presidential election as the North West which PDP is banking on is thoroughly split between the 4 candidates.

Obi has collected all the glory of South East politicians and that of Tinubu

Lagos is important and will deliver one of the largest vote cast for Peter Obi's Labour Party at the Presidential election

There are barbing saloons in Lagos, Abuja and other places around the World with female barbers.

3ple9iner:
Oga its a lie, whatch the video and see that he was about to raise Tinubu's hand.

Create a thread and post the video.

Its not only in the South East.

Citizens from other Geo-political regions are even more motivated to vote Peter Obi than many in the South East.

Its the motivation of other regions for Obi that has killed politcal apathy in the SE

Nigerians across Nigeria are motivated for a better leader and political party.

Election should be discarded in Nigeria.During election one will experience civil unrest.Politcal assassination and other vices.

You and Sowore should register for another Degree program and continue your revolution on Campus SUG

rolams:
I hate lies!

I was present at a presidential rally or political rally for the first time in my life. I purposely travelled from my place to the venue just to examine if Obi can possibly cause major upset to Tinubu ambition in Lagos as purported by many supporters of Obi.

From what I saw, Tinubu will win Lagos state convincingly the same way Atiku will win Adamawa state. I project landslide victory for both of them in their respective states.

Though, there were empty seats at Tinubu rally today but not as many as the ones in the pictures posted by Reno. The pictures were taken very early.

Below are the pictures I took from the rally.

That shows you're part of the imported crowd for Tinubu who can't vote in Lagos

Sowore has stopped campaigning?
He thought Nigeria wants to conduct SUG election

2023 Elections is like
Southern/Northern Christians for LP versus PDP.

I dont see NNPP or APC making any reasonable headway despite the campaigns. They are vote spoilers

Only Nairalanders believe all Yorubas are supporting Tinubu
Any other Nigerian is omo yeeboo

Nigeria is about to hold Africa’s largest democratic exercise. Here’s what to know about its presidential election

Nigerians will head to the polls Saturday in a fiercely-contested presidential vote that analysts say is too close to call.

It will be the largest democratic exercise on the continent as Africa’s most populous nation picks a new president.

The crucial election comes as the country battles myriad economic and security problems that range from fuel and cash shortages to rising terror attacks, high inflation, and a plummeting local currency.

For the first time since the country’s return to democratic rule in 1999, none of the candidates is an incumbent or a former military leader.

Outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari is term-limited and will step down amid a patchy legacy that has brought “a lot of frustration and anger” to Nigerian voters, analysts say.

Who are the candidates?
Eighteen candidates are in the running for Nigeria’s highest office, each confident they can turn the country’s fortunes around if voted into power, but opinion polls suggest three are leading the race for the popular vote.

Bola Tinubu
One of the key contenders is Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the candidate of Buhari’s party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). Another is the main opposition leader and former vice president Atiku Abubakar, of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).


Nigeria’s presidential elections have typically been two-horse races between the ruling and opposition parties, but this year’s vote has a third strong contender, Peter Obi, who is running under the lesser known Labour Party.


Tinubu, 70, a former governor of Nigeria’s wealthy Lagos State, wields significant influence in the southwestern region where he is acclaimed as a political godfather and kingmaker.

The affluent political veteran, boasts of aiding the election of Buhari to the presidency on his fourth attempt in 2015, after three previous unsuccessful bids.


After decades as a political puppet master, Tinubu declares it is now his turn to emerge from the shadows into the presidency; his campaign slogan is “Emi Lokan,” which translates to “it is my turn,” in his native Yoruba language.

The ruling party candidate has, however, been dogged by allegations of graft which he strongly denies. Critics say he has also not convincingly addressed concerns about his health, and has, at times, appeared confused and incoherent on the campaign trail. He has also made gaffes that have made him the butt of jokes and viral memes on social media.

Tinubu has also come under criticism for abstaining from presidential debates and delegating questions about his manifesto to members of his team during a recent outing at the UK think tank Chatham House.


Atiku Abubakar
One of Tinubu’s main challengers is the opposition party’s Abubakar, who is running for the sixth time following five previous losses.

Abubakar, 76, who served as vice president from 1999 to 2007, is a staunch capitalist who made his fortune investing in various sectors in the country. The tycoon has been investigated for corruption in the past. However, he denies any wrongdoing.

Many believe Abubakar’s presidential ambition might usurp an unofficial arrangement to rotate the presidency between Nigeria’s northern and southern regions, since he is from the same northern region as the outgoing leader, Buhari.

Peter Obi
Peter Obi is a two-time former governor of Anambra State who is being touted as a credible alternative to the two major candidates.


Obi eschews the excesses of the typical ‘African Big Man’ leader He shuns a large entourage, flies economy class and carries his own luggage. His “no frills” approach has attracted hordes of supporters, mostly young Nigerians who call themselves ‘Obidients.’

Peter Obi, Labour Party presidential candidate, center, and his running mate Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, second left.

Obi is also the only Christian among the leading candidates. His southeastern region has yet to produce a president or vice president since Nigeria returned to civil rule in 1999.

The ruling party’s Tinubu, although from the religiously mixed southwestern part of the country, is a Muslim and also chose a Muslim running mate, fueling public anger over his choice.

Described by Tinubu as “Mr. Stingy,” Obi, 61, is famed for his frugal approach and is seen as a ‘Mr Clean’ of Nigerian politics.

However, his offshore accounts were among those found in the Pandora Papers, which exposed the hidden riches of the global elite in 2021. Obi denies any wrongdoing.
