Is there a conspiracy to sabotage Soludo candidacy or what?

Why is everyone defecting from APGA?

Especially the Deputy Governor.

That’s the height of it all.

Loyal kwa? Maybe you have not being following him or benue politics. There is nothing like loyalty with Dr Ayu, he only ports where he finds favour, why did he decanp from APC to PDP after the 2015 elections? Because he was schemed out of the politics in Benue by Akume, luckily for him Ortom decamped to pdp, so to fight Akume, he decides to remain with PDP, I bet u, PDP will be shooting themselves if they give this make this man their chairman, someone that can't even decides or dictate for his own local government elections.

Again, he’s close to Tinubu. Very close.

Efficiency7:
Don't mind him, who knows Ayu when it comes to Benue politics talk more of national politics, Ayu that can't even field a candidate for his local government elections (Gboko) and win, someone here is comparing him to Mark.
Ayu relevance to Nigeria politics ended in the 2000s, after he served as minister of foreign Affairs under OBj 1st tenure, nobody sabi dat man even for benue politics, him just d hide under popular candidate to be relevance.

I tire o!

Reason I didn’t even know about him as much as I follow politics in Nigeria.

I had to go to YouTube to watch some clips of him and I only found one.

No one knows his thoughts on the issues bedeviling Nigeria.

RPG2020:
Na aliens them go fight when the war set while American citizens go dey drink coffee dey watch them for TV for house without noise

They think it’s by breaking blocks.

I pity countries that are gearing up to fight America.

They will be fighting robots and missiles

In 2021 when Armies are inventing technologies to fight opponent armies remotely without them being in the field of combat, these ones are here using hand to bend iron and break bricks.

North Korea mumu no too much?

DubaiLandLord2:
This is extra judicial killing

And is not just crime against humanity, it's also a war crime.

If there is evidence Peter Obi gave an order for those guys to be killed, he can be charge for war crimes.

Those guys were unarmed, they were tied with ropes and shot... Dam!!

There is no excuse you can give to justify this nonsense.

They could have all been charged to court, with the Government making sure there court case is as slow as a snail, then give them each a long jail term which will be make possible through the Anambra Statetate House of Assembly that was under the full control of the state executive.

The house of assembly can pass a bill that will make sure people constituting nuisance to the society and can be proven their activities have lead to the loss of lives and properties, such person will spend the rest of their life in jail or such a person will be sentence to death.

So you are by extension saying Buhari is guilty of war crimes for ordering the shooting of Bandits?

Or do you know the circumstances of their arrest?

Or their guns should have been tied on their waists for you to know they were arrested with weapons?

helinues:
Another incorporated lies.

Why not check the mirror

Are you making sense right now?

Well, I’m not surprised. None of you have been none to sustain any logical argument with facts without resorting to incoherent gibberish.

SadiqBabaSani:
If Tinubu wants any Political Equation to favor him, let him Convert to Christianity and remain so for the rest of his life.

We cant have a muslim Muslim ticket in a Nigeria that has become dangerously divided by Buhari

His Conversion Would be tactical, More Church attendance, Receiving prayers more from Christian Clerics et al.

He must tilt towards the Christian side much more just as Gbaja who is a Chrismus

So if Tinubu converts to Christianity before 2023 and picks up APC ticket as a ‘Christian’, pairing with a Muslim northerner, you will vote for them?

helinues:
But you have been merchant of lies and mischievous.

Why should I believe you this time?

You should have done well in supplying evidence(s) of my lies. You have any?

sapientia:
Rusbbish defense

Numerous young guys were tied up and shot execution style with orders from him

He went to ezub to promise money to whoever will prove who didn it

When it's a known fact that only SARS dump dead bodies in ezu river.

Peter obi have their blood in his hand

Let’s assume for instance that Peter Obi did other their shooting, are you saying therefore that the criminals are justified to have constituted themselves terrorists in Upper Iweka?

If you say they shouldn’t have been killed, does it by implication suggest that you are in support of amnesty for Boko Haram and Bandits? That they should be ‘rehabilitated’ and released back to the society?

helinues:
Why tagging me with this shit?

Because I want you to read and know the truth, internalize it, and stop rehashing lies.

That’s if you are capable of those.

Asgard73:
You don’t have to worry about Yoruba press and their propaganda.
People from the state and beyond knows the truth..
is just yoruba people being who Dey are.

There’s need to worry about it.

Because these propaganda if not tackled now will take root. And before long, those who do not know the facts will start the believe the lie.

You mean Gbenga ‘Betrayal’ Daniel?

The man couldn’t wait for Supreme Court rule on Atiku’s case before defecting to APC.

One wonders who he truly worked for during the elections.

Sometimes I don’t know the issue some of you have with Peter Obi?

Up there is a link to the experience of a Nairalander in Upper Iweka, Onitsha. It made front page some months back. That same exact thing has happened to me too. God knows it’s true.

I brought that back to give you a clue of what Upper Iweka still is in 2021. When you get that clue, you would imagine what it was like around 2009 when Peter Obi came in as governor.

WHY THIS PIECE?

This piece became necessary because it seems some opposition propagandists who don’t seem to have anything on Peter Obi( well until their Political Pandora Palaver) have always been bent on trying to pin the activities of SARS as led by James Nwafor during Obi’s reign on Peter Obi as the chief mastermind. Every effort to talk sense into these paid propagandists has consistently fallen on deaf ears.

But to better understand what we are talking about, a brief background of what used to happen in Onitsha is imperative.

BRIEF BACKGROUND OF UPPER IWEKA NOTORIETY

Sometimes around 2005/2006, the then governor of Anambra state, Dr Chinwoke Mbadinuju, invited an illegal and notorious vigilante called the Bakassi Boys who came to Onitsha, especially Upper Iweka, and engaged in extrajudicial killings in a bid to restore some sanity to Upper Iweka in particular and Onitsha in general.

That’s how bad Upper Iweka was. The security agencies became helpless as the police joined in colluding with criminals who would always bring daily returns to them.

In the early 2000s, anyone traveling to and from the Southeast always dreaded Upper Iweka. If you cross Upper Iweka without being robbed, then your journey is successful already. Accidents were less dreaded.

So the Bakassi Boys came and tried to restore some order and reduce the criminals. But their efforts didn’t quite last a long time as the criminals immediately regrouped after the Bakassi Boys were disbanded.

Now, when Peter Obi became governor, one of the things he knew he had to tackle was security and Upper Iweka was a priority.

Not wanting to go the way of Chinwoke Mbadinuju by empowering illegal vigilantes to slaughter people, Peter Obi enlisted the services of the Special Anti Robbery Squad(SARS) to help clear Upper Iweka of various nefarious elements that has made that place their abode.

And just like what is happening in the fight against insecurity in the present day Nigeria where the govt is trying to apply both Kinetic and Non-Kinetic approach to the fight, the Obi govt extended olive branches to the criminals to surrender but most of them rebuffed it.

That was when James Nwafor and his boys got to work and started arresting some known leaders of gangs and their boys some of whom tried to be violent but were subdued by equal and proportional violence.

The intention was Lafiya Dole( Peace by Force) for those who thought they were beyond being brought to book.

Now why would anyone criticize Obi for the approaches he took towards restoring order to Upper Iweka? You talk about extrajudicial killings by SARS? Well, just like every Nigerian process, it was abused; just like Obi possibly didn’t expressly order anyone’s killing.

But if you criticize Obi for what he did in Onitsha, then you must criticize the FG for disconnecting Telecommunications Network in some parts of Zamfara, Sokoto and Katsina and ordering shoot at sight of notorious bandits who have refused every govt overtures at making them drop arms.

You must criticize the formation of Amotekun who sometimes shoot at sight, killer herdsmen in the southwest, without trials.

The truth is that if Nigeria is serious about unity, then it must enthrone equity and fairness. And if equity and fairness is to be enthroned, then 2023 is the turn of the southeast. And if 2023 is the turn of the Southeast, then Obi is one of the best out of the Southeast.

Propagandists should rest with their many propaganda campaigns against Obi.

We will open the Pandora box another time.

NobleRace:
It's a step forward. I'll still research to verify the authenticity of the information you provided.

https://www.nairaland.com/6643420/terrible-experience-onitsha-motor-park

That is a link to a post that made the front page of Nairaland earlier this year.

You can begin your research from there.

If such a thing is still happening in 2021, that should give you a glimpse of what it was like around 2009 when Peter Obi came in.

humility33:
Yes bro
Had an issue recently with someone i extol highly
U keep painting obi black for no reasonable reason later deduce it was out of tribalism

Sometimes i loose hope in this country..... can't we just drop tribal and religious sentiments once and for all and vote for a credible leader that can turn things around

I am not ibo but truth be told Obi stands out considering his vatse experience in managing finance and investment and precedents he left in anambra state

Thank you for being a pan Nigerian devoid of tribalism.

I’m Igbo but I hold people like Osinbajo, Fashola and Ambode in high esteem because I think they are men who have demonstrated capacity.

I only seem to be projecting Obi because if we are serious about the unity of this country then we should enthrone equity and fairness.

And if we are talking about equity and fairness, then 2023 is unquestionably the turn of the Southeast.

And Obi is one of the best out of the Southeast.

humility33:
Bro...they're looking for every reason to bring this man down

I have seen such a tribalistic folks in my life even where i work

It baffles me even if Jesus was to come contest for Nigeria presidency even so many people will refuse vote for him because of his tribe

It’s in their gene. They extol theirs and denigrate others.

Our job here is to never let them succeed with their malicious propaganda

NobleRace:
You started well but ended unreasonably. All I needed was a clarification of the matter. My assertion was based on the information available to me. That clause 'How do you lots reason' means you expect that everyone knows what you know about the matter. The question is better directed to you.

Fine.

I guess now you have the information you sought, you will never accuse Obi of complicity in what happened to the bodies in Ezu River.

BlueBlackPackag:
Ayu is from Benue too and a bigger figure to mark. A party chairman not the Same as a candidate.

Wait, that Ayu is a bigger figure than David Mark?

NobleRace:
Obi isn't better in any sense of the word. Let him clear his name regarding the Ezu river mess. He has a case to answer.

In my judgement, Obi could be very cunning. Osinbajo has clean hands.

Have you ever been to Upper Iweka in Onitsha?

Is the story of what goes on there new to you?

Chinwoke Mbadinuju even had to go extra mile to invite a vigilante in the name of Bakassi Boys to engage in extrajudicial killing in Onitsha just to restore some sense of sanity.

When Obi came, the notoriety of Upper Iweka was still high and instead of engaging vigilantes, he engaged SARS who now possibly engaged in some extrajudicial killings.

If you blame Obi for the death of notorious criminals in Onitsha without trial, then you should also blame the Federal Government for disconnecting Telecommunications Services in Zamfara and shooting Bandits dead at sight without arresting them for trial.

How do you lots reason?

ORIAYO70:
Ur left na lion
Ur right na tiger

Back pyton

U go gree move or talk... Naso Baba Osi be for the govt... Sorrounded by Buhari jihadist.

I understand.

Reason I don’t usually join the bandwagon in criticizing him sha

spinojay:
David Mark is not interested in the position

I get it now.

I learnt he’s interested in the BOT chair position. But he should understand that he can’t have it since a northerner is becoming party chairmanship position.

He should have come to help stabilize the party.

helinues:
Smart North.

They would get the chairman of the party, use the position to work for Northern candidates in the Pdp presidential primary election as the party ticket is open.

Then step down from the Chairmanship position after their candidate must have won the primary election

E no concern you...

Why not focus on your Tinubu?

What’s your business if PDP presents the chairman of Miyetti Allah?

haffaze777:
Vote ladi adebutu under which party jare?did ladi adebutu contest at all?U won't know anything yet you will be blabbing trash.

PDP had two candidates in Ogun; the late notorious Senator and the candidate of the other faction.

Who was he?

What happened to David Mark?

Or is Iyorchia Ayu not also a Christian?

PDP governors should work to install David Mark. The man is a colossus himself and being from Benue, he might likely not try to perpetuate any northern agenda by trying to make a northerner emerge as presidential candidate.

PDP should not make any mistakes.

Osinbajo don dey show himself small small because election period don dey reach abi?

This is somebody we were never used to hearing from; sometimes he could disappear for a year without saying pim even when Jihadists were slaughtering and trying to wipe out Christian Communities in the north.

All of a sudden Osinbajo has found his voice... always in the news.

Well sha, sentiments apart, Osinbajo is a better presidential material than Tinubu and Fayemi. The only southwesterner I could rate over him is Fashola. So I don’t mind him becoming president.

If in 2023, PDP presents Obi and APC presents Osinbajo, then it shall have been our best election circle because wherever the votes go, we will be having a good president.

Though Obi is better.

We are too loud to be intimidated!

Before you can hold on to Chiwetalu Agu, you must first arrest Gumi.

Before you can declare state of emergency in Anambra, you must have first done the same in all Northwestern states.

Ndi Ala!

Buhari keeps appointing Northerners into every Oil Sector Parastatals.

Oil that is in the South o!

Meanwhile zombies are here more interested in drawing Igbo territories into Ijaw map than demanding what is due to them.

My own is that that word “manual” should be expunged from the Electoral Act entirely.

Before INEC will use Electronic Transmission in the South and Manual Transmission in the north which will allow them put in fictitious numbers.

Again, Senate has no business how Political Parties nominate their candidates. Making a law that every party must use Direct Primaries just makes them horrible interlopers.

Where is Tinubu’s walking stick ?

Basheer22:
GEJ is Igbo.
Why then are Igbos crying for Presidency when GEJ an Igbo man was President just a few years ago. Igbos are naturally greedy.

So you accept Bayelsa is Igboland?

And Bayelsa oil, Igbo oil?

Maxymilliano:
Dapo Abiodun doesn't deserve a second term ... The guy has performed woefully, but unfortunately, he's likely to get a second term.

Aside Ladi Adebutu, every other serious contenders has been bought over to APC, including Rotimi Paseda and GNI

I'm deeply sorry for my darling Ogun State.

So what is stopping you guys from queuing up behind Ladi Adebutu?
