I like this. I want the South East to massively vote for Obi. Charity, they say, begins at home.

Aside from Peter Obi being an excellent candidate, it's unfair for a Muslim to replace an outgoing Muslim as president.

I hope these people don't completely relegate Nigerian Christians to the background. Everyone deserves equal representation in a secular society.
may God bless you, because that makes two of us
Re: Atiku Picks Okowa As VP Candidate, Will Present Him This Morning by Nobody: 12:14pm On Jun 16, 2022
12 pm has passed already. We are waiting for the public announcement of Okowa as the VP candidate of PDP.

Surprisingly this thread is on the 8th page just because it involves Wike. Atiku thread does not move at all (at most, 3 pages in 3 hours) except Tinubu's thread where his enemies are always keeping vigil. The IBOs hate Wike. When the COAS was appointed, Ohaneze Ndigbo and Anyim Pius Anyim said minority Igbo tribes cannot represent Igbo.

Now, this has to do with minorities, you started strength and weakness comparisons. You are not doing religion now. Later on APC you want to die on Muslim - Muslim ticket. It is now clear most of the people complaining about APC ticket are also here which implies they are mostly (98%) from the same tribe. They are the known Tinubu enemies and not majority of Nigerians.

Going through the primaries, you will realise that the 109 senators and the 360 house of rep members never actually read through the new electoral amendment act.

They were just screaming, "Mr President sign! Sign! Sign!" without even knowing what they have sent to him to sign.
To sound elitist, a lot people kept disturbing our eyes and ears with .. "Muhammadu Buhari is scared of signing!".. what do you know was to be signed.. These lots never showed their constituencies!

From the selection of only delegates.. these funny politicians didn't even know when they wrote off their statutory delegates!

Like football coaches, it was their duty to inform their parties that the game has changed!

They don't even know when they nipped in what made the Yørúbas opt for another candidate other than Yemi Osibanjo, because a VP who has done 2 terms can now only do a one term as president.

This was where Ebele Goodluck Jonathan was seeking for clarification, to know if he is still eligible because, he has done VP that jumped into two terms and a one term President.

PDP has not told their supporters that by the new electoral laws, Atiku Abubakar can only do a one term, haven done 2 terms as VP.

The new law does not permit anyone who has contested for primaries in one party to skip to another for any position in the same election year. So the Mr.Peter Obi coming to PDP or NNPP Kwankwasiya teaming with Peter Obi is gone.

The law does not even permit that any of those that has contested for any position to take up any other in the same year.. so the story of Nyesom Wike or Yahaya Bello, being a VP is off for 2023 cos they can't aspire for president and VP in the same electoral year.

Senate President Ahmed Lawan, Akpabio, Bagudu etc who have variously contested can not vie for senatorial position or Vice Presidency respectively..

In fact, the scenerio that made Atiku a VP can't happen again, where he won as governor and was later picked by Olusegun Obasanjo.

A beg as you are struggling to get your PVC, struggle to know the rules of the game! Go and read and understand the Electoral Laws.

Thanks. Most enlightening!

Seems the VP contesting after 2 terms refers to a situation like what happened in the GEJ/Yaradua era.

Even NE deserve a shot of the presidency . The fact is SE is not mature enough to rule this country . Who will vote Peter Obi apart from his ibo kinsmen
LegalWolf:
I agree with you that SE votes can't win election. But I am just thinking that it is not right for both APC and PDP to exclude SE from the presidency. They are the only region in the south that haven't been on presidential ballot since 1999 and I think it is their turn.


Again, this is my personal opinion and I am not from the SE though. And I know PO can't win this 2023 election

First of all,lYou people don't always see the bigger picture.

Secondly, you must be high on mkporu miri to say Peter Obi is an excellent candidate. Peter Obi is a bigot and a local champion with a terrible track record

Peter Obi's candidacy goes beyond tribal sentiments. Every rational youth wants a working country they can proudly call their own. What's up with the Igbos becoming president? If a major tribe doesn't deserve to be president of their country, something is systematically wrong with that society.

FYI, the Paul Kagame we all praise today is from a minority in Rwanda, but he keeps winning elections back to back in his country. If not for those people in Rwanda and Ghana, I would conclude that black people are lesser humans. Those people don't think the way we think in this country. It's high time you grew beyond tribalism and opt for competence. That's called the greater good...
can you swear that Peter obi has never embezzled public funds?

Wike was a minister who fought Amaechi and gave him a tough time. Against the popular notion that power will go to riverine people, Wike took over and defeated Amaechi's Peterside who comes from the riverine.

Ever since, Wike has become a governor, acquiring more money, more followers and more power. So, you cannot compare Wike as governor with the old Wike as minister. Underestimate Wike at your own peril.
Exactly the same local state politics every governor plays, nothing special.

Okowa is the best choice for Atiku. Wike problem is too much, he has dictatorial tendencies and can easily pick fight with anybody at any slightest provocation.

However, when it comes to competence and integrity, you should know that Peter Obi is miles ahead of those he is competing against.

God bless you sir. They want us to support Atiku a northern Muslim or Tinubu a Western Muslim, whereas Buhari is Muslim a northerner and Tinubu a Muslim too..How I wish Osinbajo won the APC primaries, peter obi movement would have calm now.

Okowa ? for real ?

A man who teleguided the PDP gubernatorial primaries to ensure his handpicked candidate Sherrif Oboroworei emerged as the winner ? thereby truncating democracy ?

A man who made sure his own daughter becomes the PDP candidate for state house of assembly ? so she can be her father’s eyes and ears at the chamber when they start digging into his corruption files of incomplete projects littered all over the state and reckless borrowing in the name of Delta State?


Okowa, a profligate spender, who just borrowed N150 Billion (last week) to start new projects when he has less than one year on office claiming he needed to execute these new project bla bla bla

Okowa a renowned embezzler of public funds who, despite Asaba having a central state owned event center - last week allocated almost N6 Billion to build a so called International Conference Center - when the existing event center can do exactly what he is trying to build ?

And other new potentially moribund projects scattered all over the Anioma area of Delta State?

So all this was the reason Okowa is throwing the State into debts to fund his personal ambition of becoming a VP to Atiku ?


INTERESTING - Okowa will die in Prison

what has God not done for this bas. t add?

From being a medical doctor to commissioner in delta state, to Senator of the Federal Republic to Secretary to State Government, to Governor - Must Okowa plunder the State treasury to achieve his ambition?


As a Delta State stakeholder, I will ensure Okowa goes to prison with the mountain of evidence of massive fraud I have against him


For 8 years all this man can claim he did on Delta state with all that huge federal allocation is road, boreholes and roof some primary school - where are the hundreds of billions running into Trillions if Naira he took as state allocations ?

This man is a bigger thief than Ibori, and Atiku must lose this election for Okowa to be exposed - WOW, seriously ?

Umahi contested to become APC Presidential candidate and is now going to contest to represent his people at the Red Chamber.
