Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of course. He is a reformist, a strategist, a brainer and of course mobilizer

casualobserver:
All of them have K-leg so my choice is simply who’s K-leg is least K and who can manage Nigeria in what will be a very trying period post 2023.

I’m voting for Tinubu. He has the experience and track record and has demonstrated a capacity to identify the issues, identify talent, put round pegs in round holes, a capacity to raise revenue which we will need, a capacity for innovation and thinking outside the box. He is not a tribalist or a religious bigot. Nigeria needs someone who can hit the ground running, Only Atiku and Tinubu have that quality. My major problem with Atiku is PDP and the type of characters in PDP.

Peter Obi IMHO is simply a con man taking advantage of Ibo sentiment and youth frustration, neither of which is rooted in rational thinking. His track record is mediocre at best, he has no meaningful or signature achievement as a 2 term governor during an economic boom!! If Nigeria weren’t in such dire circumstances I might have been tempted to vote for Obi/Datti just for change sake, just to send a message to the political class but Nigeria cannot afford amateurs and the inexperienced at this point . You don’t solve a problem by creating a bigger one….you only have to look at 8 yrs of Buhari, Nigeria cannot afford another president who will spend 4 yrs just figuring out how things work and what to do. IMHO Obi is the most dangerous option of the 3 for the future of Nigeria. A corrupt man who knows what he is doing and can grow the economy is 10x better than a so called clean man who hasn’t got a plan, a clue or the experience or the support in parliament to hit the ground running. Nigeria needs someone with a plan who can hit the ground running. I do not advocate corruption and embezzlement but I am a realist. A man who in 8 years increases IGR by 300% and steals 10% is better than a man who steals nothing but cannot raise IGR.
Whereas the former has created more money for public projects, the latter has done nothing.

At this point in time a thief who can build a road or send my child to school is better than a clean man who cannot improve my lot because he hasn’t got the ideas to raise revenue. Nigeria is maxed out debt wise, if you cannot raise revenue you will have no money to execute your promises.

Well, I'd like to agree that we need someone that can hit the ground running asap in this current situation. However, none of the candidates has been in the Federal space for a while. Which federal matters has Tinubu been? He is only famous in the past years due to this current campaign, EndSars, Lagos, and Ambode's politicking. I see all of them finding it hard to hit the ground running when they eventually win. So, voting for a minority political party just like you wanted to do for Obi is a good one at the moment. A sort of change we can't afford now is a Muslim-Muslim ticket change in Nigeria's peculiar and dangerous time. If religion and ethnicity didn't matter and competent matters, why didn't Tinubu choose Osibanjo or a Southerner as the Vice President? That's too much of a change than a change in a political party. Not like many are devoted to the party anyway. Watch how many would defect to the Labor party if Obi wins.

I will vote for Peter obi because he is the messiah

Tinubu my president come 2023.

Sowiki:
I have learned a lot of serious lessons from Buhari. In looking for a leader, one has to take a very critical analysis of things. Buhari rode to power on the premises that he's not corrupt, but he's turned out to the worst president ever. Let our watchword be "competence". All of them are corrupt.
Please don't insult me incase you don't buy this my angle

Hahahaha.... You are afraid of insults in a faceless platform?
Anyway, insulting someone for airing their views is uncivilized.

Now to ur view, you see, we all know Tinubu and Atiku with their high corruption cases, but we are yet to know Obi with glaring corruption allegations.

Talking about competence, ATIKU served as VP for 8 years, and did all he did.
Tinubu was governor of Lagos for 8 years, he did well, but talking about transformation, that's not true. The Lagos of today is not the handiwork of Tinubu.

Lagos was FCT of Nigeria for so many years, so if Lagos is transformed, it's cos it was former FCT.

As for OBI, he was governor of Anambra for 8 years, he did very well too. But talking about corruption, he is the least amongst the 3.
Obi is also young and vibrant.
Above, there's nothing wrong giving the Igbos opportunity to lead Nigeria.

Talking about agitations, there's no tribe that hasn't had a cause to agitate at one point or the other. So Igbos agitating for Biafra is nothing new. Now let's see if they are giving the opportunity to produce a president if the agitations won't end.

I am from SS!

I NEVER told you I was voting for Obi, I specifically said he is the worst and most dangerous option if your goal is development.

I have stated my reasons why I will be voting Tinubu. I am not here to convince anybody, I am not a campaign spokesman, I am not here to waste my time chest beating or making predictions on a landscape that is dynamic. I am also intelligent enough to know nobody is changing their minds based on interactions on Nairaland. It is your democratic right to vote as you wish for whatever reason.

The only thing I will say is APC lost Osun they didn’t bring the house down. Let the losers not bring the house down if they lose in 2023.

Throwback:
Tinubu!

The only Governor whom his sworn enemies admit he was the best and acknowledge his brilliance.

The Governor who took Lagos monthly IGR from N600m to N7b in 8yrs, while his competition pretender was only able to move Anambra monthly IGR from N450m to N600m in 8yrs (despite that Ngige was able to grow from N50m to N450m in just 3years).


I will vote Tinubu whose Lagos State was the 1st public service in Nigeria to embrace TSA and ERP systems like Oracle, while his analog competition pretender was allowing contractors to cash N250m cheque in Anambra for expenditure to be done in Lagos that housed the bank headquarters, despite that he was the former Chairman of the Bank.

You might wonder what would have happened if Tinubu and Obi had reversed roles as Governor of their respective states?

Obi would have purged the state civil service of Yorubas from Ogun and Ekiti, while Nigerians from Edo, Anambra, and Akwa-Ibom would already know they are not welcomed in the state civil service. Tinubu would not have sacked Igbos from Abia and Imo.

Obi would have inherited N600m monthly IGR in Lagos and after 8yrs would have managed to grow it to only N900m (instead of Tinubu that grew it to N7b). Tinubu would have inherited N450m monthly and grown it to N5b monthly (Instead of the N700m monthly that Obi achieved).

Obi would have been at a loss on how to manage the different religions in Lagos, while Tinubu would have fostered better harmony between Catholics and Anglicans/Protestants, and other non-Christian faiths.

Obi would have written a letter to a school headboy in Lagos, while Tinubu would have allowed the headboy serve as a 1day Governor to better build his confidence and exposure to being a future leader.


I can write a full Nairaland page dissecting what would have been, but we know what became, and I am sure Anambra regrets not having a 1st class brain lead the state like Lagos was led by Tinubu.

Tinubu did well but the aftermath in Lagos is worst and terrible. He will get Nigeria in his pocket. Above all the party he is running from dont show us Cameroon pepper. We no want our children to die pls.

chidexleo:
OBI
Because he doesn't buy vote in primaries.
Man of integrity.
Doesn't get involved in bribery and corruption.
He is for everyone ( unify).
He will make Nigeria a producing country there by making the naira strong.
He loves the poor.
He is a problem solver, a case study Anambra state.
He will solve security issues as he did in Anambra (before OBI onitsha was a no go area in teams of insecurities, dirty, kidnapping, even a Governor was kidnapped) but obi solve it all
He will reduce wastage.
He will reduce cost of governance.
He will give us steady light and improve businesses.
He is humble

He didn’t buy votes my foot..

Peter obi for president for no reason

GeneralPula:
He didn’t buy votes my foot..

Why are you pained? Support your grandpa in peace

akeeng:
Omo! Suffer no dey tire you? You no dey sorry for yourself? Poverty and hunger never do you?

Is it Tinubu that has brought the poverty, hunger and insecurity in the land? Go to Lekki Free Trade Zone and see the fruits of his foresight while governing Lagos. Even Obasanjo, his sworn enemy is still acknowledging Tinubu’s achievements till tomorrow!
So, do not mix up Buhari’s lacklustre administration with Tinubu. Even twins have different finger-prints, my friend!

I wont ever stay in Lagos, can't waste my time in a dirty overcrowded city.

Realist12:
but you already japad from Anambra to Lagos naa

I don't know what to say to all those people that keep saying that election is not done online and that Peter Obi
will only win online. This same set of people prior to the last Edo State governorship election said that Obaseki is
only winning the polls online, and the same goes for the last Osun state election but guess what happened each of
this candidate that won the online polls also won the physical polls. And i also know that in this presidential election
Obi will be the winner.

Go and check people that made up Obi's team. They were from all tribes. Even though Anambra is not as filled with different tribes as Lagos.
I know that you hatred makes you tell lies too.

I'm a Yoruba man, don't think am from east am from Ekiti.true would soon tell v.soon

Larryton:
You literally want to know my worth so that you can start begging me for money right? It will not work

Lol you get Worth?

Am a Yoruba Man proudly following OBIDIENTLY

nikky5:
The days are drawing nearer each passing day for the expiration of 2022. In 2023, who will you vote for? Why your preference for that candidate?

. BAT I have no other person to support again since the North is about to end their 8 year rule I cannot support any northerner again for now . Yoruba lokan! As for Obi regardless of packaging he has no structure in the North.

Please let us start sensitizing our people to vote OBIDIENTLY,. our old ones and everybody around us so the election can be unriggeable

PETER OBI.....He has all it takes

ribbit:
Tinubu

Cos no other candidate has his track record or more qualified..

If you have any, present him let's compare their achievements devoid of the usual insults and shenanigans.


They say show me your friends..

If you can say amen to this prayer, then you should vote your conscience.

Which state would you rather want God to model your life after?

Tinubu's Lagos till this day?
Or Obi's Anambra under peter obi till this day?
Or how atiku ran Nigeria.?

You have limited idea iwhat development is... You should be skiing yourself, this question: with the money available to him what was the record on human capital development...... Build road, build bridges if the human capital is not too of them all they are useless


This is where I stand with Obi.. He is the only one that has provided the development of human beings and has proved it with what he did in his state

Education of human beings was number one on his list and the results speaks till date... It was his government that returnAnambrabra males to schools

I can see that the next election is between OBI and BAT. I wish you all the best because am not going to vote anyone in the next election because all of them have the same ambition.

Evergreen12345:
Lol you get Worth?

Go and chill, I don't have to be exchanging texts with you, you no gallant upstairs, your IQ is kind of low.

Definitely LP Peter obi, reasons too numerous to mention, 1 the people need a leader who is morally upright in character and tinubu does not have it, considering his usual ill- mannered outbursts. 2 we need someone who is a servant leader not someone who sees the office of the president as a status symbol or an elitist club, obi fits that considering how he relates with the common man, dude even refused pension, while his counterpart taxes his state 3 obi may not be a saint, but he is definitely less corrupt than the other major aspirant in my eyes, 4 we need a change of guard in our national political scene take a look at the folks supporting tinubu and atiku they are still the same regular guys who have looted and brought Nigeria to her knees now if either of them becomes president the same folks will get rewarded with our national wealth, but with obi he has a chance to set the govt straight because his major supporters are just everyday people who just want their collective needs satisfied rather than their greed, with tinubu and atiku major supporters want their greed satisfied 5 we must provide a system that punishes failure tinubu was instrumental in deceiving nigerians to bring in this govt when obviously they had no plans to better the country while nigerians were suffering through it all, this man took side with the his team of oppressors and now he wants to become president, what message would that send, that evil gets rewarded 6 obi is better mannered to address Nigeria's diversity, tinubu lacks the character and temperament.

Sunday2021:
for him to even tweet in condemning the act shows that he is not in support of their action. Now tell me what did peter obi do when Ipob killed the military couple, what did Peter Obi do when ipob killed a northern woman with her 4 children in Anambra?

Bro.....u lie, he tweeted it and deleted it. Is that one that we should allow to rule the nation?. Atiku is a coward!. Tinubu's own was even worst!.....the idiot bastard did not say anything.....because he wanted the core north to vote for him.....baba wants to feel among....don't worry. God go shame all of una....I have started praying for Obi to win and make the country great again....on behalf of Obi and the great people of YUS-FULNESS we tender our apologies to the northern woman's husband and her family. God will continue to bless them and fill the void left by that wonderful woman and her children. Inj.amen

You do not seem to know what corruption means.

Obi administered over Anambra LGA funds without accountability for 8 years, and didn't conduct LGA elections.

Can you name the production factories Obi helped setup in Anambra?

Obi saved, according to him, Anambra billions in a bank. Which bank is that? And what is his relationship with the bank?

Nearly all of Obi's road projects in Anambra state were shabbily done and currently in bad states, just 8 years after.

Can you explain what you mean by 'he loves the poor'? How much did he do as governor to prove this? What programmes did he initiate or implement to uplift the poor in Anambra?

I ma waiting.....mind you, I am from Anambra. No lies...just facts.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I am supporting BAT because he developed Lagos, he will develop Nigeria. Simple. No big turenchi.

You really think he will develop Nigeria at age 86, you're funny
