seborrhic: This one must be one of those that was sleeping in class or smoking Indian hemp while his mates were learning ABC and 123. Op so you don't know what degree means? Or you think degree means final year of secondary school?
worksmart: The person with the deepest pockets buys INEC that is the sorry state of our country. That is why Tinubu is so unconcerned he is sleeping political gatherings
You are funny! Buhari and his cronies were richer than FG (Goodluck) in 2015?
Obaseki is richer than Oshomole + Tinubu in Edo State?
Adeleke family is richer than Tinubu and Osun State government?
Even with all the money Tinubu stole and he is still stealing, he is no match to Atiku financially.
Obi too is a gentle billionaires. He has larger share in 3 banks. Anytime you hear Fidelity bank declare billions of naira as profit, Obi smiles.
Don't be too sure that your Tinubu is richer and can buy everybody.
Dangote would be life president if it is all about the money.
Northern governors supported Tinubu during the primary because they have an agenda. It is not because of Tinubu's money.
worksmart: Stop deluding yourself, you think the same money Tinubu used to buy delegates that he won't double and triple it to buy INEC and thus the presidency? In fact if it were not for vote buying in the primaries Atiku and Tinubu would not have emerged as candidates . The Nigerian political system is broken and only a fresh brand new constitution can mend it.
And other aspirants are poor? Only yorubas see Tinubu as god.
deji17: Majority of Obi supporters are IPOB members. Check Nnamdi Kanu utterances, Revd Fr in Igbo land etc. No amount of packaging will make Obi win one State election in SW and North. 2023 cant come early enough.
worksmart: If a elections were held online or on social media Peter Obi may have a chance. What I do not understand is why he never showed this energy in the run up to the primaries to try and get the ticket of one of the two biggest parties?
So thus marching for Obi is on social media too? Only rigging will make APC or PDP win. If INEC conducts a credible election, Obi is your next president. You may not like it but that is the reality today.
Labour Party’s Presidential candidate, Dr. Peter Obi was on Friday evening granted interview by Cable News Network’s (CNN) Zain Asher.
The interview with Asher had been postponed twice, the last one being indefinite, but somehow, the interview was held on Friday.
In a short clip on the interview, Obi was asked if he would address issues of corruption and insecurity plaguing the country.
He said with competent leader who had the needed capacity, it corruption and insecurity could be curbed.
“If you have a leader that is competent, has the capacity and commitment to start dealing with it, you are not going to solve it overnight but there is going to be a clear visible attempt to dealing with it.
"They are things that can be dealt with decisively. You also need to have a leader that has done this in the past,” he said.
On how to tackle the nation’s ailing economy and bring it out of life support, Obi said first of all, “You have to deal decisively with the issue of security, it is impacting negatively on the economy today; you have to deal with it headlong because you have to get the farmers to go back to the farm by ensuring that the vast land in the north are invested.”
Jones4190: If Peter Obi, who is a gentlemen, cannot influence his followers to behave like gentlemen and ladies, how can he influence the entire country to move in the right direction? If he cannot manage his most loyal supporters, how will he manage the muslim north?
Quote from an ignoramus. Who controls adults' behaviour?. It is another thing if they have violated the law.
Lestatdelioncou: When campaign starts ! Or you want Datti to go there now and suddenly inec accuse him of campaigning?!
Remember he and Atiku are very close he may also not want to go there out of respect for Atiku same reason Atiku hasn't gone to southeast... The op is very naive
Do they know the secret meetings going on? Some young men want to teach a 2-term governor politics.
Wipper7000: He hasn't done anything. OBI will not Win one state in the North. I can bet on that. From the PDP primary election that's how you will now how the North thinks
You don't need to win a state in the North to become president.
Exceed15: Stop being emotional and face fact on ground. That's where the population is. There's already massive movement of Peter obi in other regions. He should be building more ties with some key northern governors. It's a game of number bro
sarkinbauchi: While Peter Obi should be visiting the Northern parts of Nigeria and establishing a strong presence there with his Vice President, commissioning Labour Party offices, he is busy travelling from country to country visiting international organisations thinking all the youths in Nigeria are on lockdown for him.
I'm beginning to see he is not serious at all about his camapaign efforts. Nigerian youths should think of voting Atiku if the unseriousnesss of Peter Obi continues to persist. We cannot afford to allow APC come back.
And how often has Atiku visited the South? Why do we see Northerners as a big deal. Only one state in the south (Wike) is dealing with them and they are coming to beg. North alone cannot make anyone president. If they could, Buhari would have been president before 2015.
How long will you continue to tell lies against one man. Why offend God for political reasons. When God starts to deal with you, even Tinubu will not save you.
lexylaw40: The only obvious reasons why Igbo people give their support to Obi is their BIAFRAN DREAM. THEY WANT OBI TO WIN THE 2023 ELECTION so that in turn Obi WILL RELEASE THE LEADER OF IPOB Mr NNANDI KANU FROM PRISON VIA A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON and there after Forge ahead together to actualize BIAFRA by force using the nation arsenal against Nigeria. But thank God there evil plan has been exposed and now dead on arrival. Our great nation Nigeria shall never fall.
Do you mind telling us why some Igbos support Tinubu? Those that support Tinubu don't have IPOB agenda?
Tinubuwins2023e: Insult for all I care. That has always been who igbos are known for. Insult and igbo are like bread and butter. I still say it over and over again, without southwest, igbos can never excel in the life. If they can then they should go and replicate what we have here on the east. Your lord and saviour Obi is also living in Lagos what an irony
Lagos is in Nigeria. If you want it to belong to Yorubas alone, separate the damn country.
Sheuns: Lol. Most of you guys threatening other tribes to leave Lagos don’t even have your origins traced to Lagos. Reminds me of one Igbo guy and a Yoruba man arguing yesterday that Igbos should leave Lagos. The Igbo guy asked him where he’s from in Lagos he was dribbling; he said every Yoruba person can claim anywhere within the South West as his state. At the end he said he was from Ogun and he was there threatening to send Igbos out because they do not support a certain party.
Those that are real born Lagosians (the Aworis) you’ll never see them saying anyone should leave Lagos because they do not support a party or candidate. It’s usually visitors from other South Western states that always claim to be Chief commanders of Lagos.
Anybody can live in Lagos as long as he’s law abiding and contributing to the economic growth of the state. We need to outgrow this trend of we’re your host and you should support us. It’s not working.
Ask these fools to support Biafra so that Igbos can leave and like BAT they are, they will start talking from both sides of their mouth. 70% of the revenue they boast of come from the Igbos, they hate. In the North, 85% of every state IGR come from the same Igbos they hate.
Tinubuwins2023e: This is the mind of all yoruba people. This is just the plain truth. Igbos residing in Lagos are ungrateful despite the love shown to them by we the yorubas. It's high time we tell them the truth. 90% of igbos would be in poverty if not for Lagos and the entire southwest that created the enabling environment
You are a fool. Did you dash them money. They make their money through hardworking and determination. Moreover, they are in their country. If you hate to see Igbos in Nigeria, move for referendum so that everyone will go their way. It is like saying that you are accommodating an American citizen who lives in Texas because he was born in Ohio.
backbone503: In the SS, he can only win Edo and Rivers if he gets the support of the governors. For the SE, I see him wining 3 of the five States.
STOP this joke please. It will be considered a failure if Obi gets 70% of the total votes cast in SE. If 60% of registered voters in SE turn out to vote I.e about 6.5m votes, Obi is sure of about 4.5m votes. Forget Hope Uzodimma and Umahi. If they fail to cooperate with Obi, their political future will die a natural death in Igbo land. Then in SS, Obi will still win marginally. And if the NC give him the necessary 25%. He is your next president.
seunmsg: So, why did you guys refuse to develop Igboland with oil and gas money? Why do you have to come and hawk gala in Lagos traffic or sell fake spare parts in Ladipo before making it in life? Why not stay put in your oil and gas rich Igboland and stop adding to the population problem of Lagos state?
How will you know anything about development in South East since you have lived all your life in your ewedu farm. A boy who never travelled always brag that his father's farm is the biggest.
seunmsg: Tell Obi to spend the money he stole and kept it n his daughter’s name instead of scamming Igbos in diaspora of their hard earned money. He’s using the same format Nnamdi Kanu used to scam some gullible folks who think he’s truly going to become president in 2023.
Nanorest: Prove me wrong with your data because I believe if oshiomhole was APC presidential candidate, hate for APC will still not let you vote for him. Had obi not be on the ballot, you all would be campaigning for Atiku as you did in 2019
I just joined nairaland and everywhere is Obi. Why this hatred for a man?
PassingShot: If I were a betting person, I would stake a million naira or more that Peter Obi won't win all the five SE states in 2023 presidential election.
But as I don't bet, I am ready to put down N250k with Seun, owner of this forum, to give to a set of carefully selected needy members of this forum if Obi manages to win seven states in the coming election.
The condition that comes with this is that, I want any Obi's supporter who sincerely believes his candidate will not only win seven states but also clinch the presidency to make similar pledge and be ready to drop whatever amount he/she can conveniently afford with Seun Osewa. This will prove to me that they are convinced about their candidate and that the social media noise is not just noise.
No need to curse, abuse or shout "suffer no dey taya you?". Just take up the challenge and let's wait and see.
A reasonable person does not come to a faceless online forum for betting. We will reply you on election day. This is not betnaija, it is an election. Since you are sure Obi will not win. Use your money and celebrate your candidate.
JAMO84: We have 14 APC governors From the north who are going to work for Tinubu, but Mpurumirin people are masturbating over one unknown mallam that cannot win his polling unit
Meanwhile, Peter Obi must contest in 2023, he must waste at least, 5 million votes meant for Atiku by the grace of God, Amen.
That is how Goodluck boasted in 2015 until he realised that the North can never be trusted when it comes to power. They gave Tinubu the ticket in order to retain SW loyalty because the North cannot win presidency alone. However, they can secretly work against Tinubu and blame his failure on ill health. The North will support Atiku. Northern Christians will support Obi Tinubu is only arguably sure of SW votes.
