Asiwaju oko Remi . This is almost the 1000th thread opened about him on Nairaland this year alone. Jaga Jaga Jaga ban Borgu

Jagaban is a useless old fool urinating on himself.

Ndibuna:
Which one Anyim win
Which one Peter Obi win
Which one ohuabunwa win
. Cry for yourself first

Southeast delegates knew better than wasting their votes on those people.

We always look at the bigger picture when it comes to elections.

That’s why we voted for Yaradua over Ojukwu in 2007.

So, rest

triple996:
Ipob and their supporters have relaxer as brains. Jus look at this mumu

And I can bet you that the content of your own is even worse.

Lemme tell you something…

The Southeast PDP Governors may have supported Wike but you never can tell what the Southeast Delegates would do no matter how much dollars you give them.

Most of them are sympathetic to IPOB. So, get the memo.

Ndibuna:
Rubbish talk

Ngwanu go and make Wike PDP presidential candidate.

Nvula

So garfield1 you truly think Southsouth will give Tinubu 1.5 million of her votes with Tinubu on the ballot?

I’m beginning to doubt you are from Southsouth because you obviously are alienated from the pulse of the Southsouth people.

Again, you manufactured over 3.5million votes for Southeast put together when records from that show we have rarely done past 2million votes in the region in the past two elections.

Add that to the fact that UGM might disrupt elections in the region to reduce the numbers even more if an Igbo man is not on the ballot.

Like somebody said of you one time, you are politically aware of the happenings in Nigeria but your biases always becloud your judgment and assessment.

Who go dash Tinubu 500,000 votes for SE? For what?

fergie001:
All Ebonyi PDP Primaries cancelled, dates to be announced tomorrow.

Goodness me!

Where did you get this information?

Because as I’m talking to you, they are at the party secretariat in Abakaliki trying to conduct the guber primaries.

SocialJustice:
Tonye Cole will be busy trying to avoid arrest from Wike. Even Amaechi is not safe.

Foolishbuhari:
And you think Kwankwaso would step down his ambition to deputize Peter Obi?

He has more to gain.

Feelers all over the south is that it is the turn of the south.

Then Nigerian youths are really on Obi’s case.

These are currencies that Obi is bringing that can be cashed on by Kwankwaso.

If they win, that would be 8 years of Vice Presidency before he succeeds Obi for another 8 years as president (ceteris paribus).

Ebubu3:
I trust various factions to emerge

I doubt.

That’s why they took time to iron things out.

Foolishbuhari:
Ribadu is even a better option, if he can take him from the APC but the Atiku NE NE factor will affect them up north. Better he looks for another credible person from the NW.

People are voting that ticket because of "competence" and their incorruptibe stance, hence I suggested Ribadu.

Kwankwaso has a bigger than life personality; not good for a person like Peter Obi. Peter Obi even dispelled the NNPP rumour on TV. They never had any discussion.

Lol

Without a personality like Kwankwaso as running mate to Peter Obi, we might as well advise Obi not to waste his time.

OBUKSBAYELSA:
Sheriff will lose.

What of Fubara of Rivers?

You think he will beat Tonye Cole?

Ebubu3:
Ebonyi PDP no get candidate

Dave Umahi has finally killed that party

They’ve been enmeshed in leadership crisis.

But they will hold their guber primaries today.

gentleman82:
I and countless majority of Igbos worldwide support the emergence of his Excellency Atiku Abubakar as the flag bearer of PDP and will vote massively for his victory . Ohanaze is a socio cultural organization of Ineptly disgruntled opportunists who lack good sense in making profitable political calculation that will benefit the people they lead. Atiku will win this time . The north want to retain power and it sure will . when all indices pointed to the sure victory of Mohammedu buhari in 2015 ohanaze mislead Igbos to go against him, now they are also taking wrong political step.

Getat!

You are not Igbo

Hydroxide:
How is north succeeding? I don't see any significant change or development that has happened in the North since Buhari became president. North being president over time has not change anything there.

Do you even understand my usage of ‘success’ in that context?

Foolishbuhari:
Nope not with Kwankwaso

But with who?

Malory:
Did it starts today and will Tinubu and Wike be the last that will always betray the south? More of Wikes and Tinubus will continue being hindrance to our development until we decide to give ourselves sense by force

We are saying the same thing.

The south needs to unite to stop the north.

Minime10:
I foresee Mr. Peter Obi making a decisive inroad that may eventually galvanize to his possible electoral victory come 2023, if his followers can put their acts together. This is so because, with the Emegance of Atiku Abubakar as the PDP standard bearer, Rabiu Kwankwaso for NNPP and Ahmed Lawan for APC the northern votes comes next year will be shared among the three northern contenders for Aso Rock. And if the sentiments down South that power ought to go to the South after Buhari's 8years is anything to go by, then the entire South should rally round Mr. Obi at this point irrespective of their differences, political parties and personal interest. Obi remains the only hope now for the South to get to power in 2023 otherwise, the South will have to complain for another long an unending 8years. You may not like Mr.Obi, but he took the right decision to have left the PDP having seen the handwriting on the wall already. If he had stayed back under the PDP, he would have lost the chance to contest under any other platform.
So in all of this, Mr. Peter Gregory Obi stand a good chance of making great impact in the race to Aso Rock come 2023 on any political platform he may choose to run, including Labour Party. If the suffering Nigerians masses and electorates fails to pitched their political tent with Peter Obi, they will leave to ever regreat, how they allow a good, visionary, prudent, dicipline, accountable, accessible, detribalise, result oriented and a passionate leader in the person of Peter Obi, who meant well & represent the new hope for this bastardized Country, missed their (the electorates) grip.
Mazi Peter Gregory Obi represent the only new hope for Nigeria head or tail. So let every Nigerians of good conscience and want the old order of doing things by these same recycled old politicians, to be discarded, rally round Mr. Obi and rescue Nigeria from the brink of immenent collapse as is the situation now.
Let us do this, not for Peter Obi, but for the sake of the young generation and the unborn kids.
Think about a better Nigeria, think Mr. Peter Obi!
Think about purposeful leadership, think Mr. Peter Obi!!
Think about frugality in the management of the Nation's resourses, think Mr. Peter Obi!!!.
Anywhere Peter Obi goes, there we shall go with him.

Yes, Peter Obi stands a chance but with Kwankwaso.

PaChukwudi44:
Wake up and smell the coffee.Enough of all these puerile posts

But he’s saying the truth

adedehinbo:
okay good luck, remember election is just about 2weeks only while we both suffer it for another 8years,up till this moment igbos haven't come out to agree on one candidate but yet coming out to blame yorubas even before election,yorubas through APC voted buhari,igbos through pdp voted atiku another Fulani man,if eventually buhari lost another Fulani will still be the one to rule,i know for sure that North is not ready to drop power and they re strategizing on every option to achieve this,Fulanis influx into the south is not just a play,i am very confident that no notherner will rule after buhari but 2022 will be a terrible year in Nigeria. Just watch out

Can you listen to yourself?

Tambuwal just stepped down for Atiku in the interest of the south.

But Yorubas cannot understand the fact that it’s the turn of Southeast and step down their interest for the greater good of the south?

I just wanted to remind you guys of my post in Nov 20, 2021.

My predictions are coming true.

I might as well be added to the list of prophets.

But we still have a way out, if Tinubu can throw his weight behind Peter Obi to unite the south behind Peter Obi instead of GEJ their puppet, then we can still defeat the north.

If not, the north can continue.

engineerboat:
Ẹní bá woṣẹ́jú akan, yóò pẹ́ lójú omi

Lol!

Don’t you think Obi miscalculated?

His best chance was with Atiku.

Now Atiku has no running mate to choose that can give that Obi effect to their ticket.

Malory:
Southerners are the enemies of themselves. We will keep playing second fiddle in everything unless we separate from northerners

We don’t have to separate to stop playing second fiddle.

We just have to make fools like Tinubu and Amaechi, who would deploy resources and everything else to support a northerner over a fellow Southerner, never arises again.

The north is still succeeding because it’s divide and conquer politics is still effective. The day the Southwest and southeast will give up their political differences, that’s the day the game of the north will come to end.

DontBullshitMe:
What can the governors really do? To me, Obi as his VP will still appeal to the teaming Youth supporters that Obi has.

Obi can always come back to PDP especially if he is sure of the VP ticket. Labour Party stands no chance for Presidency and half bread is better than none.

Also, Consider that if a Southerner wins APC ticket and eventually defeats Atiku then Obi cannot possibly become a President of Nigeria in this lifetime. He will have to wait 16 fuçking years.

Obi can still be reasoned with. He's a reasonable man.

Lemme tell you something…

If it wasn’t for the gang up against the Atiku/Obi ticket, especially by southeast governors, they would have won the election in 2019.

Those animals deliberately frustrated the election in the entire region. In some places INEC materials did not come until those who came out to vote went back home.

Don’t underestimate the power of a sitting governor.

The only thing is that I’m not seeing any of the governors that will give the kind of effect that Obi gave to their ticket in 2019.

fergie001:
The no of registered voters in the SE alone was about 8m, for Lagos is 6.5m registered voters in 2019. Just Lagos alone, it's almost even in terms of voter registration.

I went to school in Ibadan, and there is a good population of non-indigenes there as well.

I grew in Ojo LGA, that place has about 50-55% non-indigene population and the PDP has never lost a Presidential Election there since 2011. The neighbouring LGAs are not different, factor in those of them that won't vote.
4 out of 5 Igbo men in Lagos here votes PDP, it's reflex.
At least 3 out of the 5 from the ND-area votes PDP.
The Northerners vote based on interests.

What I believe is they put too much interests in their State Elections than the National. The ones who live around me troop out to vote for Governor but won't bother themselves for Presidency. I have never voted outside the SE but I am telling you what I noticed

You are right

fergie001:
That's it. Some of them had given him that condition already, and I guess Obi could have been made aware the reason he left there.

Honestly!

Onweriri ihe ede jiri be nwi

DontBullshitMe:
I swear!

To even think that Peter Obi as a VP to Atiku will become the "natural successor" if they win, that ticket will stand a very good chance.

I believe it's not too late. Peter Obi can still be made to see the long-term goal, return to the party and take the VP slot.

Atiku/Obi will crush any APC combination.

Well, I don’t think there’s any law against picking someone who is not a member of your party as running mate.

Just that if Atiku picks Obi again, PDP governors will gang up against him again.

He has to chose a running mate from amongst them

fergie001:
Atiku Abubakar is the PDP Candidate.....

The election has been called for him;

Garfield1 vicdom kahal29 penguin2 indispensable85 ejimatic Ojuntana kyase

Interesting days ahead…

Let’s see if APC would go for a northerner too or continue with the Jonathan project.

I keep saying it that Peter Obi miscalculated.

A repeat of the Atiku/Obi ticket would have been a bomb.

ScamHunter:
One banker told me that with the sort of money in this country, if politicians were working with just 10%, that this country would be competing with Europe.
With the hype around Peter Obi, there has been two questions in my mind. If he is as good as people say, why isn't Anambra close to becoming like Europe? Granted, a few times I have passed through the state, it does seem to have the best road network when compared to any other state I've been to. But in terms of massive development, I haven't noted that it is fantastically different from any other Nigerian state.

Furthermore, Peter Obi doesn't seem to have the will to fight. How can he stop the vultures bleeding the country dry if he couldn't even fight the PDP crooked politicians to a standstill? Unless there's something I'm missing, the odds against Peter in his quest to make Nigeria a working country is too high. It may just be just it - hype, since the negro race has not been known to know how to get things done. Peter may just be any other Nigerian politician, after all, Buhari was once a messiah you all were waiting for.

How can you compare Peter Obi to Buhari?

Are the mental capacity the same?

Are the antecedents the same?

Guninerma231:
What happens when both major parties field bad candidates? Should the masses keep away or go ahead to vote that good person in that unknown party?

It is drops that form a pond...those trickle of votes that you think may be inconsequential all come together to form that needed voice.

I'd advise that votes should not be focused on political parties but credible individuals regardless of the political party they belong

I’ve seen the light now.

I was in darkness then

Esama:
Tinubu this Tinubu that what exactly the man did wrong to you igbo...You igbo claims Tinubu betrayed southern who did he betrayed? Last time I check I see no agreement btw Tinubu and Jonathan. Tinubu is not a member of pdp where the betrayal word is coming from.

And moreover why we from ss not accusing him the way you igbo accusing this man? The fact is that you igbo need to work harder only if you are serious to get presidency in near future. Dont expect Tinubu to support you people for president all in the name of we are the next and it's our turn you people singing all over the internet space.

Tinubu did nothing to igbo kiss the truth. He has ambition and he is going to fulfill it if God destiny him and if its other way round he will rest.

“We South south people…”

I laff

Shey Tinubu embarked on his 2015 treachery because of his ambition, Abi?

Let him go and fulfill it then.

Just came across this a moment ago on Twitter. Don’t know how veracious it is.

subsidywise18:
So PDP which you used to support is now bad, eh?

Ye are now backing a mushroom party?


Modifed



From Nov 25 2021

Times have changed.....

Anyway, now you know APC and PDP are the same.

I have a better view the cankerworm that the PDP is now and it has informed me better
