They will hedge their bets and support all three sides, because 2023 is up there in the air. Tinubu would've had a clear shot had his biggest supposed ally not been a dyed-in-the-wool tribal bigot.

At the end of the day, blood debt between every Fula and his fellow kin, will trump any type of party affiliation, and that's what Afenifere were trying to explain to him a few years ago when he insisted on selling his own tribesmen as slaves to the Fula.

Everyone must reap whatever they sow in this life

I tell people that if I doubt every other thing in life, one thing I don’t, and will never, doubt is that “what goes around comes around”.

You see, Karma is real. And like you said, everyone of us must reap what they sowed in this life.

For his ambition, Tinubu sold his people; and gave up the chance of the south to remain in power but today he’s running on the toga that it is the turn of the south. At what point did Tinubu started protecting the interest of the south?

McBishop2020:
Soludo will win his second term bid for one reason and that is to not allow his zone govern for 8year8 years. Another reason is to avoid his zone crying for being short changed.

However, unless he apologizes and withdraws his utterances against PO, his political career, after being the state governor, is dead already.

He will leave politics like Willy Obiano.

Valentine Ozigbo is the next governor of Anambra State. Is Val not from same zone as Soludo?

If you must use it, at least learn the spelling correctly.

T for thanks

If your father and mother meet Tinubu today, they’ll go down on their knees to greet their president to be.

My parents do not bend the knee to no one except God.

So, if your parents go about bending their knee for every Tom, Dick and Harry, sorry, mine don’t.

T for thanks.

DrAkpamudehe:
Pls don't have a larger than life image of yourself, hence U end up in an early grave. Even a fool could have foresaw that Soludo will win the elections at that time. Pls get out of here

Then are you saying that the APC supporters who believed Andy Uba would win the Anambra election are more stupid than fools because they didn’t believe Soludo will win?

otipoju:
I once was close to Local Government Chairman in Lagos and was on the way to becoming one of his aided...then message come from church for me to avoid being close to any politician make dem no ho use me do sacrifice for election season.

I just quietly detach myself from the man. Later I learned that the man dey carry live tortoise under him agbada. Opponents hit the man too as dem dead one of his arms for am.

These guys are dangerously fetish. I guess that’s the only way they survive their enemies in politics who would want them dead.

Fool!

Have you changed naira to exchange 1 naira for 1 dollar?

Are you paying graduates 5k monthly?

Have you defeated Boko Haram?

Are you creating 3million jobs annually or that people who had jobs at all have lost them?

Is Nigeria more secure today than it was in 2015?


Why do these APC leaders think every Nigerian is as brainless as their supporter?

lhordspy:
They all can be found in same basket - Igbos.

These days, you can never tell one from one. It is just a case of the latter(obidient) disguising under a different name to distance itself from the main body(igbo) .

Clearifications are not actually needed but it is important to still know which one you are reffering to.

Again I ask you, whose statement are you commenting under?

lhordspy:
Your grudges, of what good are they? Buhari ran twice and won twice.

Infact, if he is on the ballot again. He is having 98% chances of winning again.

That should tell you how insignificant and inconquential your support or grudges affects the present Nigeria's political settings.

Before your drug lord led his urchins to support Buhari in 2015, Buhari had failed 3 times. And twice of those 3 times he picked Igbo sons but weren’t moved and he failed, even with his 12millions votes from his almajiri supporters. Do you still think Igbos are insignificant?

And Buhari is what he is today because he never stood against his people which made his people to always vote overwhelmingly for him.

Do you think that would be Soludo’s fate the day he’d need the support of Igbos for anything?

GodHatesJews:
So that makes Obi's candidacy an Igbo project .

QED.

Is this not what I've been shouting here that obi is no different from the highly divisive and sectional Buhari Fulani govt .

Why replace one Ethnic champion for another ?

Why are you people confused?

Same you people claim there’s not a single Igbo elite in support of Peter Obi, that even his fellow Igbos are not supporting him.

Same you people are still calling Obi Igbo candidate.

Why this logical inconsistencies?

So you guys can’t take a stand and defend it?

lhordspy:
I dont get your question. Are you reffering to Obidient or Ohanenze.

Who is the 'they' ?

Whose statement are you commenting under? Ohaneze or Obidient?

GodHatesJews:
1 week in politics is like a decade.

4 ys is a lifetime.

By next year when obi loses out as a distant 4th, the Plebs will quickly move on to the next Igbo agenda . What that is, is anybody's guess given the highly bipolar political mood swings we are observing in the yeast.

Solodu will finish his term, seek reelection and get it. Finish his last term and seek higher office be it in the Senate or wherever breeze blow am.

You can only wail.

Lol!

When Andy Uba was buying every politician in Anambra, you people rejoiced that he has bought all the “structures” he needs to win.

We laughed at you guys and told you he won’t come second; that Soludo is the next governor of Anambra and it happened.

Now, same us who made Soludo governor are telling you that his political career is dead and over and you are arguing.

Your doubt will be cleared as usual.

If we can bear grudges against Buhari since the 1980s till now, how long is 4 years?

You don’t know the Igbos.

Tor!

My people say you don’t need to ask the gods for help for things you know you can do by yourself.

Soludo has lost re-election even before his first term started.

This is a reality that we don’t need the gods to help us achieve.

No going back on Naira redesign and January 31 deadline remains sacrosanct.

Tinubu BATstards and all looters with billions of naira parked at home for elections can go and die.

Ndi ala!

The Organized Private Sector (OPS) made up of the Nigerian Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA), Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), and other similar bodies, are one of the strongest cabals in Nigeria that are rarely spoken of.

This body holds all the banks, Insurance companies, Telecom companies, etc, with millions of employees under their influence.

Sometimes ago, I heard it said somewhere that if the Organized Private Sector do not want you to win an election, you are going nowhere. While this is debatable, it is not far from the truth.

Having established the sphere of influence of the OPS, let’s now go into the crux of this piece - who do you think the OPS will support for the presidency in the 2023 presidential election?

Is it Tinubu?

Tinubu was governor of Lagos for 8 years; everyone knows about that. And I think his only relationship with the OPS came from when he was governor since Lagos is the economic nerve centre of the country. But that was it. Before and after his governorship, Tinubu is not known to have owned any business that made him a member of any of these bodies which would make him understand the needs of these bodies. If anything, the administration of Tinubu introduced a lot of taxes which suffocates businesses; no matter how we want to argue about how imperative the introduction of those taxes are.

Is it Atiku?

Like Tinubu, Atiku has no much affiliation with the OPS except for his time as Vice President of Nigeria and his ownership of Intels, a company that handles shipping of oil or so, which he has now divested from. Atiku also owns the American University in Adamawa but I don’t know if proprietors of schools are part of the OPS (people who know better should inform us).

Is it Peter Obi?

Of the 3 frontline candidates, Peter Obi is the only one who has been, and might still be, a member of the OPS. Having been Chairman of Fidelity Bank and sat on the board of directors of another bank, Obi is clearly sunken into the OPS. Again, being a major importer in Nigeria, something his traducers seldom use against him, Peter Obi is also a member of importers and exporters association of Nigeria (if there’s any such body). But what his being an importer means is that he understands the pains importers pass through to source forex and to clear their goods when they eventually land; not talking about high excise duties that these importers pay just to clear their goods.

So, from the foregoing, it’s quite obvious that Peter Obi is not only a friend of the OPS, he’s part of the OPS, if not part of the board of directors.

But this is Nigeria. That Peter Obi is part of the OPS is not a guarantee that the body would support him. So many other factors might make the body choose to support another presidential candidate like Tinubu or Atiku. Worthy to mention that it is also not likely that they will all swing to one person as interest and motivation might bring about divergence of opinion and choices amongst them.

But who do you think they will support?

Penguin is a bird of reason.

Maybe na Tinubu for die…

But the old man pushed the death to this man instead.

Pardon me to think like an African for once

Meanwhile, Tinubu couldn’t even honour the man that died at his campaign with his presence at his burial.
Very heartless senile drug lord

You won’t run your administration on Religious biases but you can run your campaign on Religious biases abi?

Or was it not to please the religious biases of the north that made you choose Kashim Shettima, a fellow Muslim and a terrorist sponsor, as running mate?

And look at the calibre of people that Tinubu took to the CAN meeting… was it to intimidate CAN?

Pictures or it’s sakamanje

We want to see pictures of the said Kachalla or Machala, lying lifeless with bullet wounds, the way UGM are displayed.

Or are abokis getting preferential treatment even in death?

This one wey dem throw them stone for Plateau even with Buhari in attendance, I hope they won’t throw these ones missiles ?

Tinubu is bad market everywhere

Devil Umahi

Ebonyi workers and people are hungry and this idiot is building Ebonyi lodge in Abuja.

You see where Peter Obi stands tall above this people?

Ezi

Lol

You remember when Peter Okoye said 99% of his colleagues are Obidient?

BATstards thought he was exaggerating.

Few weeks back Wizkid dropped the first hint.

Now it’s Timaya.

But I expect Tinubu BATstards to say it’s not about Obi; until Tinubu comes third next year.

Ndi ala!

Ddokie:
Penguin2 see as your guy don change mouth sharparly. It is this same kyase that made this post below a few days ago.



BAT and all his supporters are depending heavily on vote buying to win. Nothing more.

They are certain that if elections were to go smoothly, even 3rd dem no fit get.

Lol! Don’t mind Kyase.

I was wrong to think he’s an unbiased accessor of happenings in the north. I never knew he’s an APC apologist.

Every Nigerian knows that Free and Fair elections, Tinubu will come third.

That Tinubu is still in this race is because we are still scared INEC might do some abracadabra.

Svoboda:
Thats the problem. You think my opinions render me as non igbo or non anambra? think well.

Not everyone is blinded by juvenile fantasies of a weak party winning a general election in a country of over 200 million with the highest ethnic and cultural diversities you can find anywhere.

Suddenly, Soludo has turned to be the devil because he voiced his opinion. Peter Obis online mob is now doing to him what the italian mobsters would have done to a traitor.

My friend, Soludo will win his 2nd term handsomely and the earth will not shatter.

If Andy Uba could get 40,000 votes in Anambra, I won’t be surprised to find someone like you.

And why be surprised when there are still about 39,999 of your kind left?

On Election Day, we will test your hypothesis.

OsunOriginal:
Ohhh... All Igbos have chosen Obi over Soludo... lobatan!

Was there ever a time Igbos chose Soludo over Obi?

naijapips04:
I said bring your own with the correct figures oga.

I can’t bring my own when there’s an agency that keeps that data already. And it is generally and almost globally accepted as an authority as far as data for Nigerian debt profile is concerned.

It is the agency that you quoted and I don’t know why you would want to dump it now

Svoboda:
You think LPs blackmail against apga can consume it? As far as Apga is concerned, it is like an institution, and Soludo is just one foot away from getting his second term.

The funny thing about you people is that you sit in Osogbo and argue with someone in Nnewi about what will happen in Anambra.

This was how we told you guys during the elections that Soludo will win the election; that APC despite buying all the stakeholders in the world, would still lose Anambra governorship election but you guys were arguing with us.

Now, we are telling you that Soludo has lost re-election even before his first term starts and you arguing again.

When una go get sense?

OsunOriginal:
The rebuttal of Soludo's response to Obi by mostly Igbo youths came to many of us as a surprise. I read the piece from Soludo, and I want to say any objective analyst would agree with him on all the points discussed. His views on Obi's investment of state's funds in private businesses, his performance in office, etc... none of these can be disputed even by Obi himself. Obi also agreed with him when he said in his response to Soludo that he (Obi) is a mere trader. What miracle do you expect a trader to perform in an office that requires competence, capacity, and experience? However, the internet-based youths supporting Obi have been abusing and raining curses on professor Charles Soludo. To them, Soludo was wrong and Obi was right. Even when Soludo gave them the statistics of unemployment before and during the reign of Obi as governor of Anambra, which shows that unemployment actually doubled under Obi, Obi's internet crowd dismissed it and even called for an end to Soludo's political leadership in Anambra and SE in general.

Where did we get it wrong my people? The youths that should be the future of the country don't seem to like the truth. To them, Soludo is the villain while Obi is the hero.

You and who is we?

So according to you, Soludo is right and the rest of Ndigbo are wrong?

Soludo is the only one who has sense and the rest of Igbos are senseless?

Soludo is wiser than the entire Ndi Anambra who extol Obi for his sterling leadership in Anambra which is the reason they support him (Obi)?

naijapips04:
Both and any other one you can quote. I dare you....but please not pandora bikon

How can you be using both DMO and Statisense when they both have conflicting numbers?

Ddokie:
Everyone knows BAT isn’t popular in the north, though APC as a party is. But northerners have shown that they are able to switch parties without difficulties.

Kyase is projecting BAT to win based on his belief that they will be able to buy votes. That’s all. Not by popularity.

Kyase come o!

Somebody thinks you are lying and being sentimental.

I thought I could trust you to give me the true situation of things in the north?
