That one na their business.

My own is that 2023 elections must hold as scheduled.

Any gimmick to do otherwise will be very very disastrous.

Enough said!

The same thing that would have happened if Obi had lost out and Osinbajo had gotten APC ticket.

Most of Obi’s supporters, including yours truly, would have started supporting Osinbajo.

Our drive is for a change of guard, a shift from the norm, the rescue of Nigeria from anachronistic hawks who have had her in their grip for so long.

Peter Obi is just lucky to be the beneficiary of what is going on.

Just like Governor Abdulrazaq of Kwara was just lucky to benefit from the Otogé movement in Kwara. It wasn’t the love for Abdulrazaq that propelled Kwara people, it was their determination to see a change of guard.

That’s what will happen in Nigeria in 2023 and will shall succeed, insha Allah!

Sanwolu’s quit notice is here

Oplomo:
Isiguzoro the semi-literate buffoon and failed Aba trader, should please leave Peter Obi out of this certinery and buffoonery.

Please don't destroy PO's fortune with your usual stupidity.

Just continue wearing your useless okpu agu caps while you run after politicians to swindle in the guise of "speaking for Ndigbo".

Remember PO won't be giving you a penny. Ohaneze Ndi eriri eri......Ndi ochongonoko!

But you know he’s speaking for fake Ohaneze and not the authentic Ohaneze, right?

Somebody should tell Ohaneze to shut up and never issue any statement regarding Peter Obi.

Whether to support o or not attack him.

It might give credence to the tag of Obi being Igbo project.

So Osinbajo had to go with a chopper?

Fear no even gree am follow road.

Thunder fire APC.

Omo!

This is definitely gonna give Jandor ticket some popularity.

But can they win the election? That one a different wrap of moi moi.

Tinubu’s army of Agbero is too numerous to be dislodged. Except Jandor and Funke can match them Agbero for Agbero and thug for thug.

Should Sanwolu be worried?

Lol!

Con men deceiving themselves thinking they are deceiving us.

If Vanguard report is true that soldiers guarding the prison were withdrawn 24hrs to the attack, then what does that tell you?

They went and released criminals who they will use to unleash mayhem in the country and use it to justify why elections should not hold.

They have seen the hurricane Obi that is sweeping through the country and they know they don’t stand a chance.

I’m sure they are about to activate their plan B.

But God pass them.

Lol!

Forget the north.

They went and released men that they would use to cause mayhem before the elections and give reasons to why elections will not hold.

They have seen the hurricane sweeping through the country and they know that they don’t stand a chance.

AmehTsaev:
Hakeem Baba Ahmed, top top figure in the North.

Yea. I found out.

He’s the spokesman for Northern Elders Forum.

famology:
That's not possible in this circumstance. Jonathan and obasanjo won because they won heavily across the south and got substantial votes in the north. Besides, you can't compare the LP with the PDP. PDP is a pan Nigeria party with deep rooted structure. Labour is no where except social media. How many governors, senators,rep members, assembly members, chairmen, councillors etc do they have? Nigeria presidential election is not a class prefect election ooo. Besides,the PDP were lucky then because they were contesting against regional parties. Their first real test came in 2015 with the formation of the APC. They would have won again if other regional parties didn't come together to form the Apc.
Bros forget the noise, the election is between Apc and pdp.

Now you have two candidates from the south, Tinubu and Obi.

Tinubu is only sure some a percentage of Southwest votes.

Obi is sure of Votes from Southeast, Southsouth and even Southwest. This is a given. Which gives victory to Obi in the south.

In the north, you have three gladiators canceling themselves out there with Obi sure of a certain percentage of votes from North Central.

Do the math.

The world does not work the way it works in your head.

Admitted.

But we will live to see about that.

LOLSeeComment:
Lol. You see? You people can be very funny. Now you are speaking like someone whom has watched and listened to the interview.
He doesn't really have issues with Obi's son but obi who openly supported ipob and whom also kicked out northerners in Anambra, he said Obi should come directly to them to campaign and shouldn't send people like obasanjo or Ango to the north. Plenty words in those biased interview but you are not smart, you rushed here to use OBJ and Ango part of the interview to your favor forgetting that there's no part of the interview that's good for your campaign

Naaaah

You don’t understand my aim.

My aim was to show Tinubu supporters who constantly want to smear Peter Obi as an ethnic project, to see the calibre of Nigerians involved in the project and why they should refrain from such thoughts or statements.

Anything else he said in that interview has been said before and are debatable.

You get it now?

famology:
I still believe PDP will win Anambra. I've never changed that thought. Only the margin will be different this time.

I think at this juncture, I have no further discussions with you.

Can’t be wasting my time with a man not in touch with reality.

famology:
Baba Ahmed can't help Obi in the north. Let's not deceive ourselves.

In 2003, the northwest and Northeast voted Buhari but Obasanjo still won.

In 2011, Northwest and Northeast voted Buhari again. But Jonathan won.

Peter Obi can still win without the Northwest and Northeast. Especially when you remember that it’s not a two horse race as the previous elections.

Do you doubt that?

AmehTsaev:
Do you know who his brother is? Go and verify!!!

Who is his brother?

famology:
Datti a refined gentleman but there's nothing he can do for Obi in the north. He'll be consumed in the north by the pdp, Apc and kwankwansiya gladiators. Even in his hometown in kaduna he'll be flogged mercilessly.

I’m sure that before Obi became Labour Party presidential candidate, you thought he’d even be defeated in Anambra.

But he defected to Labour Party and got to work. And in Less than 2 months, APC and PDP are now drawing up plans on how to stop Obi.

Same thing Senator Datti would have to do; get to work. Never rule out possibilities.

famology:
Penguin2

Thank you for mentioning me to this.

Senator Baba-Ahmed is definitely a far better option than Kwankwaso.

He may not be as popular as Kwankwaso but that’s why he would have to get to work like Obi did.

If Kwankwaso had been running mate to Obi and they win, Obi would have to always look over his shoulders. But with this refined and young gentleman, he would be relaxed and work.

A new order is coming…

God help us succeed.

helinues:
Oya name one president in Nigeria who have brought development to SE than Buhari

What’s the development that Buhari brought to Southeast? Second Niger Bridge?

Now, let’s assume he was bringing development to Southeast more than other presidents in history… the question is at what cost?

At the cost of allowing Fulani herdsmen to overrun us? If non-state actors like ESN didn’t spring up do you know Southeast killings would have been worst than Benue?

At the cost of calling us 5%?

At the cost of calling us dot in a circle?

Come on, if you eat a meal served with insults, Igbos don’t.

LOLSeeComment:
He said obasanjo and anglo Abdulahi were promoting their personal agenda. Obasanjo promised that if Ango could support Obi that Ango would be a big beneficiary in Obi's government.. he said Obj wouldnt support Atiku for obvious reasons and that he has disdain for Tinubu, so he will only support PO for selfish reason, he mentioned OBJ's role in the civil war, how Obj wrote in his book "my command" how e crushed the biafrans and many other things, so he was asking how OBJ is the one champion igbo presidency, he sent a video to the interviewer of when Obi was openly supporting IPOB movement calling them innocent youths that he passby everyday on the street. He also sent the picture of Obi's son stepping on Nigeria flag while wearing biafra attire. He said many things. He said Obi shouldn't hide behind some people, if he wants to talk to the north he must bring his campaign to them. That they have many questions to ask him. He mentioned 4 questions. He mentioned the time obi was chasing northerners out of SE that it took Kwankwaso vowing to send Igbos out of Kano before obi was checkmated, he said many things. You will see that OP is only mentioning OBJ and Ango.

P.S the interview was biased, not because he said some bad things about SW that aren't true but because he avoided many questions by the interviewer

The same person said in the interview that the sins of the father should not be visited on the son nor that of the son visited on the father…

Why is he now trying to skew Northerners (Nigerians) into visiting the sin of Peter Obi’s son, of stepping on Nigerian Flag while wearing Biafran flag, on Obi? That’s is supposing, though not conceding, that It was Peter Obi’s son in that picture.

LOLSeeComment:
Try to watch the interview

And what will happen?

I will realize that Obasanjo and Ango Abdullahi were not accused of promoting Obi in the north?

helinues:
The question is what took you guys so long?

Afterall, people only sow where they are going to reap

Btw, you are Igbo on this moniker...

So far, there has not been a better alternative.

In 2011 and 2015, Jonathan was our man and we voted him. Besides we knew Buhari would turn out a disaster.

In 2019, Buhari had already turned out a disaster with anti-Igbo policies and actions, what would you have us do? Vote for him regardless? That’s why we voted Atiku and PDP again.

Now, as 2023 elections approached, with Buhari having completed 8 years as a northerner, we thought PDP would uphold their values of power rotation and zone presidency to South, not necessarily Southeast, but they reneged on it and insisted that only a northerner can win elections for them, that’s where we drew the line.

Now, tell me, where between the windows I just mentioned to you could we have done otherwise?

In an interview on Arise TV, Mahdi Shehu accused former president Olusegun Obasanjo and northern elder statesman Prof Ango Abdullahi of pursuing selfish interest by promoting Peter Obi in the North. He argues that Peter Obi has not done enough to merit the votes of northerners.


My takeaway from this is hearing that influential men like Obasanjo and Ango Abdullahi, and many more, are supporting and promoting Peter Obi while some misguided elements are trying so hard to paint Peter Obi as an ethnic project.

The truth is SE have not been playing their National Politics right.

With the current events, they have indirectly schemed themselves out of the 2 major political party in Nigeria.

SE used to give Pdp standby votes but they have been getting almost nothing in return

For 23 years we have been doing something and it didn’t profit us and want us to continue in that trajectory?

helinues:
Whoever Wike will be supporting, Atiku, Tinubu or Obi won't make any difference in the general election.

Wike's influence is only in Rivers state

Would have loved to agree with you but when you consider that Wike is the commander of a troop that is made up of Makinde, Ortom, Ikpeazu, Ugwuanyi, Fayose, etc, you’d realize that it would make a great deal of difference.

Golan007:
The bad news is that Anambra’s homogeneity and unity, which have been a remarkable pillar of the people’s progress for several decades, are now heavily threatened—thanks to Obi’s emergence as governor. Once known as “home for all” in the footsteps of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe who was Nigeria’s very accommodating first president, the state now provides the worst theatre of sectarian politics. Catholics and Anglicans are embroiled in politics of supremacy. Realizing that Catholics are in the majority in the state but the state chief executives have hardly come from within their fold, Obi has persistently played on the fear of domination. He has thus dragged so many priests and religious into the murky waters of Nigerian electoral politics. Yet, the Vatican has since the pontificate of John Paul 11 banned priests and religious from politics. Obi has manipulated the fact that a member of his family is a priest and another a nun to portray himself as pious. The governor habitually says the Rosary and other uniquely Catholic prayers in public places so as to grab attention.


May God forbid that Anambra may well be on the way to becoming Africa’s Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is where Catholics and Anglicans have for several decades engaged one another in a fight to the finish, and until the signing of the Good Friday Agreement on April 10, 1998, in Belfast, the relationship between Unionists and Republicans was very hostile, with the Irish Republican Army (IRA) launching attacks against British interests and the state. It will be most unfortunate if any person should, for whatever reason, return Anambra State to the awful days of debilitating sectarian politics in Igboland when Catholics and Protestants were at each other’s throats. The Catholic faith was introduced in Eastern Nigeria about 127 years ago by priests from Ireland, a country which waged a long and painful nationalist war against British imperialism. The Anglican faith, on the other hand, was introduced from the United Kingdom. It is easy now to see that the Catholic and Anglican priests took their nationalist war from their home countries to Eastern Nigeria.

To end the increasing religious cauldron in the East, Ukpabi Asika, then the East Central State administrator, decided in 1970 to take over schools built by Christian missions which he believed were serving as vehicles for religious intolerance. We deeply regret that Governor Obi does not care taking Anambra to the pre-1970 era in a desperate attempt to enjoy the support of the church with the larger number of followers.

Admittedly, Obi’s parochial politics should not have come to serious-minded people as a surprise. No sooner had he assumed office as Anambra State governor than he signalled he would play politics of divide and rule. In an effort to de-legitimise the government of his predecessor, Dr Chris Ngige, Governor Obi started the propaganda that all the roads Ngige built for the three years he was in office were in his native Idemili area. The governor knew very well that this was far from the truth, but he stuck to it. The whole idea was to set up the Idemili people against the rest of the state. It failed.

With the November 16 gubernatorial election approaching, our governor has pulled another parochial trick. He says his successor should come from the northern senatorial zone, arguing that his position is informed by equity because, according to him, governors have come from the other senatorial districts. Mr Obi is eager to ignore the fact that at no time have people from any part of the state failed to participate in the gubernatorial contest as candidates; and he is also enthusiastic to gloss over the fact that Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, the first premier of the Eastern Region, hailed from the northern district, just like Asika, administrator of East Central State.


To state the obvious, the people of Anambra have never cared about the senatorial districts of candidates and governors. What has always mattered to our people is the record of each person in question, and not primordial sentiments. Governor Obi’s campaign to have someone from the northern senatorial district (read Omambala or Anambra culture area) as the next governor is merely targeted at one person: Senator Ngige. Obi wants Ngige to lose all moral and psychological right to contest the governorship since he is from the central part of the state. But the people have not been impressed.

The supreme irony is that the Obi strategy of ensuring that the successor is from the Omambala area is backfiring. William Obianor, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate handpicked by the governor and a retired employee of a bank where Obi was the chairman, is unknown even among his kinfolk. So many people prefer Dr Chike Obidigbo, the successful manufacturer from the area who has been chosen by the Maxi Okwu faction of the party as the authentic APGA candidate. Worse is that there are millions of Anambra people who despise the mentality of “we-against-them” which the governor is encouraging in APGA members in the four Omambala local government areas, thus making members in the other 17 LGAs in the state seem to band together against them. In other words, Governor Obi has unintentionally succeeded in setting up APGA politicians in Omambala culture area against the people of the whole of Anambra State.

Governor Obi inherited the leadership of a most united and homogenous state. But he has through electoral brinkmanship decided to make the people be as parochial and clannish as any other state in pre-bendal Nigeria. May God save Nigerians from their rulers.

Rubbish propaganda pushed by opposition parties.

Trashy talks

Wike should align with Labour Party to deliver Peter Obi and become one of the new powerbrokers that would retire the old guard forever.

Golan007:
Im glad you accept Obi's discrimination of other Christians.

In Lagos, all are welcomed.

If you had a little bit more thinking ability than you currently have, you would have known that wasn’t me conceding that Peter Obi discriminated against Protestants.

If he did, you wouldn’t be their spokesperson, they would have spoken out themselves.

But spoiler alert, our mind is already made up for Obi. So nothing you and your ilks say now will change anything.

So tell them in your WhatsApp group that you people should find a way of marketing Tinubu because de-marketing Obi will always be dead on arrival.

Idiots!

Ndi ala ndi ala!

They keep ‘repelling’ bandits instead of chasing them down on an offensive to catch them and ask them who their sponsors are.

Idiots.

If this is not fake news, then tell the army chief Nigerians said he is a fool.

I’m sure it is prayers that the bandits they are fighting also say.

Ndi ala!

Vote Peter Obi to enthrone merit.

Golan007:
Obi didcriminated against protestants.

Better than Muslims.

Or would you compare discrimination to death?

As a Protestant, I would rather be alive and be discriminated against than be dead.

You see you haven’t made sense?

Jack500:
How come you analyse Tinubu failure before the primary.

Tinubu was going to lose the primaries until he started buying aspirants.
