Funny how some people are fielding the 2 most corrupt politicians in the history of this nation as presidential candidates.

One is a thief of Bagdad, the other is a thief of Bourdillion.

Both of them have same thing in common with Buhari

The letter B for Bad
APC and PDP shall never prevail again in this country.

Peter Obi we know. Peter Obi we want

For those who do not know why Nigeria's incoming President, Mr. Peter Obi (GCFR to-be) went to Egypt.

Listen...

Egypt has the highest number of ongoing infrastructural projects in Africa. A FACT!

Egypt recently completed:
1. The world's largest water treatment plant,
2. World's largest archaeological museum,
3. World's 4th largest solar park,
4. Africa's tallest building,
5. African's Biggest fish farm,
6. Africa's Longest light rail line.

Egypt has built 10,000 factories in the last 7 years, and is constructing 34 new cities.

Yes, you heard me. Go and verify!

Egypt is currently building Africa's:
1. Largest Olympic Sports City,
2. Largest Shopping Mall,
3. Largest First space research city,
4. 2nd largest mosque,

Calm down, e never finish o...

They are also building World's:
5. Largest monorail line,
6. World's largest beet sugar factory,
7. Sugar strategic crops production plant,
8. 6th largest high-speed rail line.

Peter Obi has already started work as Nigeria's president, and you are still asking questions.

I really don’t care, your team tells a lot about how you will perform. After all the money Atiku have desperately wasted to become President after being Vice which ended with massive loot, I don’t think I should bother about him.

If someone have to press your neck to pick either Kwankwaso or Peter Obi for President instead of Tinubu or Atiku, then the money spent raising you was a total waste of time and your brain should really be examined

Btw, they just kidnapped/abducted 17 people from their homes as we post this and people are currently trying to help as she shares her location.
If insecurity have gotten to this level on a daily basis, I don’t think you living in Nigeria regardless of the location is safe.

Don’t throw an entire nation into a huge mess I beg you, the deterioration is just so much, add 8 years to your age from today and that is when you will likely make the next decision.
Set Nigeria on the right part at least… Thanks

PO has started the job of a President. Some people are still over sites that they won primaries. That’s was how Buhari took six months to appoint his cabinet because he was totally clueless on what to do with the seat of the president.

Atiku should pick Chris Uba from Anambra

It was him they used to frustrate Peter obi out of PDP and he was bragging how he installed 3 governor's and a president

Since he is tht influential, he should be Atiku's running mate

I just want to check something

I come in peace

It is interesting to note and quite an irony that the ruling All Peoples Congress (APC), a party that the opposition PDP has wrongly labelled as a bunch of northern irredentists and hegemonists, are now the ones that provided a southerner as their flag bearer.

Conversely, the PDP, the party that has always claimed to champion the precepts of equity, justice and southern rights and that has always prided itself on its strong southern base, has opted to give its presidential flag to a northerner.

They turned their backs on the people of the south-east who have given them more support than any other ethnic nationality in the country over the last 23 years

They spurned the people of the Middle Belt who saw in them a hope of salvation and emancipation.
They rejected the people of the south-south whose sons and daughters stood firmly behind them through thick and thin.

Finally, they displayed their usual and utter contempt for the people of the south-west who they have always regarded as nothing but the biblical “hewers of the wood and the drawers of the water” and the poor relatives of the party ever since President Olusegun Obasanjo left power in 2007.

Worse still they gave their ticket to a man who is the best of friends with Sheik Ahmad Gumi, the defender-in-chief of the terrorists of the north-west, they gave it to a man who withdrew a public condemnation of the savage lynching of Miss Deborah Emmanuel in Sokoto and they gave it to a man that refused to condemn the brutal slaughter of a pregnant Fulani lady and her four children in Anambra.

They gave their ticket to a man that lost the 2019 election and promptly left the country for three long years for beautiful Dubai, abandoning all his followers and supporters to weather the Nigerian storm and waters.
How this man can sleep at night we really don’t know!

They gave their ticket to a man who is soft on the terrorists that are butchering the people of the north-west and north-east and who has offered no solution to the plague of unknown gunmen and terrorists that are slaughtering people in the south-east.

Is this a party that can be trusted with power? Have they not become the very monster that they once claimed to seek to oppose and destroy?
Have the tables not turned? Has the party not been taken over by faceless hardliners with a hidden agenda?
Can the people of the south-west, south-east, south-south, north-central or even north-west and north-east trust Atiku with power?
We have our doubts.

The truth is that the PDP has been high-jacked by a dangerous cabal who have utter contempt for anyone and everyone that is not part of their inner circle.
Many ask, who are those in this cabal?
Who are those that now control the PDP and that ensured that Nyesom Wike was defeated and Atiku emerged?

The same forces ensured the emergence of Atiku at the Port Harcourt Convention in 2018 by whispering his name at the last minute to the relevant stakeholders and they have done it again in 2022.

How can a serious political party not afford Ayo Fayose and Dele Momodu at least one vote each at its presidential primaries simply because they refused to bribe the delegates?
How can they lose Rabiu Kwankwaso, Peter Obi and Enyinnaya Abaribe to other smaller and totally inconsequential parties just before their convention? How can they deny Pius Anyim the presidential ticket?
How can they not encourage Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who is the best of them and the brightest star in the south-east, to run for the nomination?

How can they reduce Emmanuel Udom to 13 votes, Bala Mohammed to 20 votes and how can they deal such a ruthless death blow to the aspirations of Nyesom Wike who struggled so hard to bring the presidential ticket to the south?
Had it not been for Aminu Tambuwal’s decision to back Atiku at the last minute, Wike would have won with flying colours.
And look at their convention itself?
Was it not a show of shame where the highest bidder simply took the prize?
Were the activities not worse than those in an 18th-century Parisian LovePeddler house where money was exchanged for services rendered?

This was not an election but a shameless gathering of corrupt souls in which the dollar determined the outcome at the behest of its providers.
The delegates were bought and their price was on open display.
It was a shameful dollarfest display.
