The guy is very articulate.

But I’d want a Yoruba or an Hausa as spokesperson of the Obi campaign to avoid ethnic colouration of the whole thing.

Peter should recruit Lere Olayinka, Fayose’s spokesman. I admire that guy.

Politics › Re: Obi Is A Typical Igbo Criminal ,drug Dealer With A Third Class In Philosophy by Penguin2: 7:57am On Jul 31, 2022

Jagabanofafrica:
Obi is your typical Igbo Criminal - trust them at your own peril
Peter Obi as a matter of urgency should
address these allegations because they're very weighty and I know a couple of them to be true

I got this on African History Archive,i laugh when i see IBOS are criticising ASIWAJU TINUBU ...

1. Those who knew Peter Obi will attest to the fact that he has been a drug dealer beginning from his days as an undergraduate at UNN. He was hardly attending lectures and only managed to graduate with a third class in Philosophy after spending 12 years in the University.

2. His brother in-law who incidentally is one of the hirelings used by him for his nefarious drug trafficking business is currently languishing in jail in far away London. This is the major cause of strain between Obi and his in-laws. It is on record that his closeness to Dubem Obazie was the because he Dubem served jail term for drug trafficking because of Peter.

3. Obi should explain his relationship with former Military Administrator, Governor lbim Princewill and Col Earnest Kizito Attah of Cross River State whom he helped as a conduit to fleece Cross River State government thus contributing to the under development of the state.

4. Obi should explain to Ndi Anambra the
circumstances surrounding his father's
death which remains his best kept secret. Before then we can reveal that Obi's father was drowned to death by Obi's associates in the drug trade whom he short-changed in a business deal prompting the mafias to kill the old man whom they drowned bounded hands and feet with bricks round his neck.

5. Given the level of insecurity in Anambra state, "Saint" Peter Obi should explain how he expends his security vote since it is on record that he collects over 470 million naira per month as security vote (220 million naira from Local Government and 250 million Naira
from the state FAC accounts)

6. Just as Peter Obi professes his Catholicism for political expediency, we ask him to summon the moral courage and explain to Catholic faithful his relationship with the Olumba Olumba Obu (000) Cult sect where his wife is a known member. It is also on record that Peter Obi met the wife at a night club in Auchi. The lady had two children from two different men -an Albino and a Ghanaian. The affirmed Catholic is yet
to wed his wife in the church.

7. Obi is yet to explain the mystery behind the 250 million naira that was found in the possession of his aides. He is yet to produce the contractor and publish the contractual agreement that stipulates that this very contractor will be paid in cash and also a reference to any other known precedents. Not even the famous late Barkin Zuwo of Kano State paid contractors in cash.

8. Obi should explain why he has continued to loot the resources of the state using his brother, Ndibe Obi, Ejike Onwusogbulu and a certain Chidi Agbapu -a Lagos based stock broker as a conduit for money laundering while the vouths in Anambra remain unemployed;

9. Obi was elected governor on the platform of APGA and it is on record that he never convened an APGA meeting thereby destroying the entire party structure. Obi should explain to party faithfuls and loyalists why he destroyed the party;

10. Obi should explain to Ndi Anambra what happened to the state local government allocations and why Anambra under Obi is the only state in Nigeria without elected local government officers in place?

In view of the foregoing, we demand his
immediate resignation or face further
disclosure of his criminal past and present.

Tinubu is the man
Yoruba lokan

Hello sir!

Peter Obi is no longer Anambra governor.

Obiano has been governor for 8 years after him.

And Soludo is the present governor of Anambra.

So stop writing in the present tense as though Obi is a serving governor except you copied without ability to edit.

And if pdp loose after hin support, na game over for hin political career...

Best option be like no option now, we can say he has nothing to gain nor loose...

Atiku snatch hin tickets, he can only help apc do the dirty job inside pdp and help them win, atleast the revenge go sweet am

Lol

A very funny but practical analysis.

His best chance is to swallow his pride and support Atiku and hope he wins so he can stand another chance in 8 years. But then the northerners who made sure Wike didn’t get the PDP ticket nor get picked as running mate will ensure he loses the ticket. Like you said, by then Okowa’s teeth must have gotten higher stature and the north trusts him more.

Now, supporting either of Peter Obi or Tinubu would elongate his waiting time to 16 years by which time he would be considered too old for presidency at 75.

Wike is in a fix.

Politics › 2023: Why Wike Cannot Defect To APC. by Penguin2(op): 6:47pm On Jul 30, 2022*

It occurred to me to write this thread after seeing Babachir Lawal and Yakubu Dogara’s visit to Wike. Especially when you consider the fact that it’s now public knowledge that those two men are fiercely opposed to Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Hitherto, Tinubu and APC supporters had hoped they’d latch onto Wike’s grievances against PDP to lure him to work for Tinubu but those who understand the politics of the Southsouth and are in the know of the pulse of Southsouth people knew from the very start that it’s practically impossible for Wike to work for APC; nay Tinubu.

Some of the reasons why I think it’s unlikely for Wike to work for Tinubu are, but not limited to:

1) Tinubu’s Treatment of Jonathan, a Southsouth son

The entire country need not be told of how Tinubu was among the fiercest opposers of Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

First, Tinubu ensured that Mulikat Akande from Oyo State, did not become speaker of the House of Representatives by instructing ACN Reps to throw their weight behind a northerner, Tambuwal. Tambuwal ended up becoming speaker and Tinubu surreptitiously turned around and led the group of Yoruba Leaders who constantly accused Jonathan of excluding Southwest from his govt.

Second, when Jonathan decided it was time for the cankerworm called subsidy to go in January 2012 (a noble decision that would have saved Nigeria of its current subsidy crisis), Tinubu influenced a protest that lasted almost a week at Ojota Square in Lagos calling for the return of subsidy. Jonathan later succumbed and Nigeria lost.

In 2013, Tinubu culminated his opposition to Jonathan by going into alliance with Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerians Peoples Party (ANPP), some part of APGA and some part of PDP to float the All Progressive Congress party (APC) which ended up defeating PDP at the general elections. But it was not the alliance that was the problem, it was how Tinubu and his lackeys went about campaign of calumny against Jonathan that is most insulting. They called him unprintable names and carried mock coffins with Jonathan’s pictures. In the end, Jonathan lost.

Can you say the people of Southsouth forgiven Tinubu for those actions?

(2) Patience Jonathan and her Husband are Wike’s Benefactors

It is sometimes quipped that Patience Jonathan is the Politician amongst the duo of Mr and Mrs Jonathan. But can we disprove that? Most people say that some of the problems Jonathan had while in power was from how bossy his wife was to some influential politicians in power then, with Amaechi being the most prominent which causes Amaechi’s defection to APC and teaming up with Tinubu to install Buhari.

However, Amaechi could not succeed installing his preferred candidate, Dakuku Peterside, in Rivers as Wike bulldozed his way to Rivers Governorship.

But Wike didn’t do it alone, he had help. The then Commissioner of Police in Rivers, Mbu, practically became Wike’s errand boy; frustrating Amaechi and his candidate. So, in essence, Wike owes his first victory as governor of Rivers to the Jonathans who cleared the road for him.

Now, would Wike choose to reward the man who caused the failure of his benefactors? Probably not.

(3) The General Impulse of Rivers and Southsouth People

By this I mean, what is the impulse and feelings of Rivers in particular and Southsouth in general towards APC?

I know you would say Bayelsans voted APC in their last guber election, but was it really APC they were voting for or they were merely casting protest votes against PDP in favour of David Lyon of APC?

I say this because most Bayelsans wanted Timi Alaibe to succeed Seriake Dickson. Alaibe was also Jonathan and Wike’s choice. But Dickson, like every other sitting governor, didn’t want to handover power to somewhere he can’t control which made him through his weight behind Duoye Diri instead. So when Timi Alaibe lost the PDP ticket, Bayelsans, Jonathan and Wike got infuriated and shifted from PDP. When David Lyon, a popular candidate due to his philanthropy, got the APC ticket, the choice was easy for Bayelsans who were already angry at Dickson and his unpopular and uninspiring candidate. That was how APC won Bayelsa.

The other APC governor in the Southsouth, Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River, defected from PDP months back. Not that he was elected on the platform of APC.

All these background study is to logically demonstrate to you that APC does not have good standing in the Southsouth in general and Rivers state in particular.

So, how likely is it that Wike would want to swim against the tide and support a candidate that is not wanted by his people? I know you might want to argue that what drives politicians is interest, but how can that interest come to fruition if you don’t have the people?

It is, therefore, my estimation that Wike cannot swim against the tide by choosing to work for a man and party not popular amongst his people as doing so might set him on the path to political oblivion. Or what is a big masquerade without the cheerleaders?

(4) Muslim-Muslim Ticket

I don’t think I’ve been able to get Wike’s exact denomination but I think he’s Anglican (correct me if I’m wrong).

Now, how can Wike convince Rivers people who are 99.99999% Christians to vote for a Muslim-Muslim ticket?

What will Wike tell his pastor is his driving force after the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has taken a position against the ticket?

So, you see, it will be a tough job.

(5) What is in it for Him

Interest drive politicians, whether egotistic or altruistic. So, if Wike decides to work for Tinubu, what is in it for him?

Is it ministerial position? He has been a minister; except you offer him something juicy.

Is it governorship? He has served out his constitutionally allowed two terms and can no longer be governor except the constitution changes. Or is it about his candidate? Wike can deliver his candidate without anybody’s help.

So, what is in it for Wike if he works for Tinubu?

6) Labour Party Is An Uncharted Territory

Another reason I think Wike would rather defect to Labour Party than APC is because the former is an uncharted territory yearning for leadership; both in Rivers in particular and Southsouth in general.

With Labour Party already popular with the masses, all Wike needs to do is to provide leadership and fulcrum for the party. He wouldn’t even need to spend much money in setting up the structure of the party. And I assure you that Wike will remain ever popular and relevant and even become the biggest shot caller in Labour Party from southern Nigeria.

This is what he can’t have in APC with men like Amaechi and others in the party.

Conclusion

I did not intend for this piece to be this long but it was necessary that all my position is logically buttressed and justified so you can better understand and have a clearer grasp of my point.

Having said that, it is in my view that only two choices are available to Wike:-

First, swallow his pride and place the interest of PDP above his ego and work for Atiku’s victory

Or

Throw his weight behind Peter Obi of Labour Party to ensure the presidency comes back to south and by so doing ingratiate himself to the Igbos whose sensibilities his actions and utterances in the past, insulted. Wike has more to gain being part of the larger Igbo family than extricating himself from it.

Penguin is a bird of reason.

Personally, I don’t really care about the religion of the leader. A good leader will put religion and tribalism aside in the course of his duties. I would have really considered Tinubu of 2007 that fought the federal government and helped Lagos to become what it is today even if he has an imam as his vice. Not the Aged Tinubu of today.

Muslim - Muslim ticket is not my problem, this whole thing about islamizing Nigeria is a hoax and practically impossible. I’m an Igbo, I have lived with Fulanis and Muslims and these are wonderful people and not what most of us purport them as.

Please let’s vote the right person this time, most Muslims in katsina are internally displaced at the moment even when they have their brother as the president.

The mind of the ordinary northerner in the streets is different from the mind of northern political elites who are most probably serving the purpose of international forces unknown to you and I.

The problem with some of you is that you look at things at face level.

You don’t look at the bigger picture and ask yourself what the implication of a certain decision would be.

Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, etc, were Christian countries that were islamized by force and you say Nigeria can’t be islamized?
