Aufbauh:
Critical majority of Obi's supporters are Igbos.

In Atiku's case it can be excusable and rationalized being that Atiku is not from the SE.
If Northerners were the critical majority of Obi's supporters the perception would have been different.

Aufbauh:
I've said it times without numbers that Obi's supporters has turned him to a sectoral and sectional champion through their tactless & coercive campaign.
Campaign should ordinarily appeal and infer to people's conscience and not by forceful intimidation and threat.

A wise man once said that DISSENT is the highest form of patriotism. So if a movement or campaign cannot accommodate dissenting words or divergent views then it has come short of general acceptance.

Again Nigerians by orientation and inclination abhor sectional interest no matter how strong and reasonable is the interest.
Obi's case is not the first & won't be the last.
It happened when the Yorubas were projecting Olu falae, Most Nigerians saw that his candidacy is an ethnic project so they went for OBJ.
I can bet you guys that if Obi comes up against Umahi in a general election the latter will floor him hands down.

Furthermore, bulk of the opposition the Buhari administration has faced and still facing is the perception that he's an ethnic champion. He won because his home support base is larger than the opposition splinter support base. Obi doesn't have such numbers in the SE.

Gozac:
Don't be troubled at all by the seeming high standard they set for Igbos, the reality is that Nigerians don't want an Igbo man to lead this nation
Many Nigerians prefer the country to burn and get destroyed than for an Igboman to lead. The stark reality, do just find a candidate you will benefit from and work for him.Forget the narrative that this person will turn things around. Nigerians are not ready for that for now

jrusky:
Which Gej? Is Gej igbo man or from SE or you want to start that silly talk Ijaw is Igbo land nonsense?

If apc field unregistered apc member called Gej he won't win, apc will join force with Atiku to win as pdp because bringing Gej will tear apart.

Get that act bro and have peace.

Gej was never igbo man and won't be igbo man and will not allow igbo to derail him (if eventually win apc ticket) again as they did when he was in power that lead to him being booted out of power.

Nonpartisan1:
Time for IPOB Cannibalistic terrorists and their supporters to start licking Atiku's urine.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 96th National Executive Committee (NEC) has finally thrown open the contest for the party’s 2023 presidential ticket.

PDP’s position was made known during the party’s NEC meeting, Wednesday, in Abuja.

Also, ahead of the party’s National Convention to elect the party’s presidential candidate, the NEC appointed former President of the Senate, David Mark to Chair the Convention Committee.

OP, na you buy am?

drlateef:
I know that IPOBians will be having heart attack by now. Someone should bring a defibrillator close by in case needed to wake them up. Fayemi, Yaya Bello and Umahi are also contesting. We are not exactly sure who the remaining 7 governors are supporting.

Buckeyemedia1:
Which ticket, let him go back to APGA & grab their ticket, why must it be pdp?

Has he given you the reason why he dumped Apga the party he was governor under for 8 years?

Kyase:
Twitter again

Make we no over hype this guy abeg, he's known only on twitter, I asked 8 people if they know who peter OBi is, 4 said NO, 1 ( though, they later acknowledged who he is, when i told them, he was running mate to Atiku in 2019) asked me, "who's peter obi"? ,the remaining 3 know him well.....
Obi need to work on his street cred, I can win him a ward, and it can snowball to an entire local government, but I can only guarantee him a ward..... Beebeeooh tell you Oga to call me
