Where will Tinubu see 30% in Southeast and Southsouth?

Who go vote am?
There are four states in the south east and south south where Obi would be humiliated and you guys would call for cancellation and resurrect your EndSars/ESN/UGM faction, Ebonyi, Imo, Bayelsa and Cross Rivers. PDP will beat Obi silly in Bayelsa and APC will come a close second, in Cross Rivers APC will win and you guys will shout rigging. In Ebonyi Obi will lose to APC and u guys won't believe your eyes while Hope Uzodinma would ensure Imo is APC 33%, u guys would get 33% while your Sugar Daddy PDP would also collect 33%. Thankfully, I trust the army to be at hand to crush any attendant violent protest with the ferocity it deserves

If elections are held today, Peter Obi of Labour Party will likely pull out about his best performance nationwide in Edo State. Benin City and Edo is about the epicenter of the Obi movement but it is not really because of the love of Peter Obi, it's more as a result of the loss of their first love. It's a product of high level frustration. Let me explain
Obaseki by whatever means was able to use propaganda to discredit his predecessor, positioned himself as victim and our brothers from the east, fuelled by the IPOB sympathizing gang pushed the narrative of a heroic Obaseki and satanic Oshiomhole rooted APC from Edo (they all glossed over the injustice by Obaseki in refusing to inaugurate 14 (or 15) elected members of the House of Assembly, they glossed over his demolition of houses of political opponents). Unfortunately Obaseki became a disaster and turned against the same legacy PDP who have him shelter. He decimated the old PDP, their leader Dan Orbih virtually took flight to be staying with Wike in Port Harcourt. Their hope was that Wike would get the PDP presidential ticket so they can have their revenge on Obaseki but Wike lost it to Atiku and the moment he did, the legacy PDP and disillusioned former Obaseki crowd recoiled from PDP and found home with Peter Obi in Labour party. They became so fanatical in their support for Obi as an expression of their frustration with Obaseki and PDP. They could not go to APC for two reasons, firstly cos majority of them were never APC and secondly, the shame of swallowing their vomit after all their praise for Obaseki and insults to Oshiomhole was a pill too hard to swallow. If the legacy PDP faction in Edo did not fall out with Obaseki and the national, Obidients Movement in Edo won't be this strong. Benin City metropolis is fully Obidient, Edo Central, home of the Esans, perhaps only senatorial region in the whole of Nigeria that has never returned a single National Assembly seat for any party other than PDP since 1999, where PDP is a religion and they vote them by default even when they catch the aspirant raping their loved one has become Obidient and for the first time would deliver their votes against PDP for Labour Party. Only no-go area for Peter Obi is Edo North, home of Oshiomhole who is loved by his people for what he delivered as governor. So my permutation for Edo is that Labour wins, APC comes second cos of Edo North and PDP comes from the rear cos no segment of the state where they are popular right now. But know this and have peace of mind, the love for Obi in Edo is out of the pains of the loss of legacy PDP and disaster of Obaseki. And watch out, LP won't win any National Assembly seat in Edo, they won't win up to three house of Assembly seats, if they win any at all. This aggression for Peter Obi is very pointed, zero organic love for Labour Party.
Ultimately Edo can never be Lagos or Kano. 2.5m voters can never be 7m voters or 5.9m voters. No matter how much you beat your chest, the minority can never torpedo the majority, votes would be counted and Obi will struggle with Kwankwaso for that covered position of distant third. Know this and have peace of mind
And you think Obi will not do well in Lagos State? If Obi no get at least 35% in this Lagos State naim be say no be we de this Lagos State.

I am tempted to agree with you cos as much as I don't want it, PDP will still win Akwa Ibom. As for Delta I have told them repeatedly that they should not mistake the noise and chest beating in Asaba to the feelings of the people of Gbaramatu kingdom, Burutu, Bomadi, Patani, Ughelli and co. Obi will be the first to head to tribunal, Mike Ozekhome, Alex Izinyon and Woke Olanipekun ordinarily should be hobnobbing around Obi by now but he no dey give shi shi.

LOL now you are qualifying votes. All votes are equal and would be counted individually. In the end it's the number that would be tallied and they would bear not qualification. The handwriting is on the wall, Peter Obi will struggle with Kwankwaso for that all important position of distant third. In fact I see his supporters suing Kwankwaso over who actually came third. Nothing that Obidient mob cannot do!!!
You are not wise.
SE/SS combined votes is more than NW. Obi will get majority of the votes here.
Lagos votes will not go for Tinubu alone. In fact Obi might win him in Lagos.
Kano and Katsina votes will be shared among Atiku, Kwankwaso and Tinubu. Obi will do well in Kaduna because of Southern Kaduna votes.
Obi will equally get the majority votes in NC as he is projected to win FCT, Plateau and Benue. He will likely get at least 25% in Niger.

Unless the election is rigged, Obi is your next president.

Buhari should just hand over to Obi. There is no competition.

Have you checked the national demographics? Nigeria is not same as our Benin City. Calm down, the whole of South South has 15m voters, a zone has 22m and another has 17m and they are not beating their chest like u. Obi wins Edo by small margin but loses Kano, Jigawa, Borno and Kwara Katsina by scandalous margins, what purpose is served?
It is possible for the SS/SE zones to give Obi a block vote like they did to OBJ in 2003.

It is also possible for Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso to share the votes from NW/NE hence ensuring that Obi does not lose the two zones scandalously.

If these two scenarios plays out and Obi gets at least 25% from SW and NC, then he stands a good chance of winning.

Unless you are not Nigerian, or oblivious to the political structure of Nigeria, Peter Gringory Obi an Igbo person who isn’t a Muslim & or cannot Speak the Hausa language, can never become President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Lagos is a cosmopolitan state.

Check previous elections even when Oba threatened Igbos. Tinubu's APC still struggled.
With the new electoral act, high blood pressure awaits you after the election.

It is only a foolish Lagosian that will vote a man that has been using Apha Beta to loot the state to become president of Nigeria.

It is only a foolish lagosian that will vote a man that denied Ambode a second term for trying to deny him access to the state resources.

It is only a foolish Lagosian that will vote a man that boasted he is now richer than Osun state after calculating his loot from Lagos.

The people of Osun have taken their pound of flesh from Tinubu, Lagosians will do the same in 2023.

It is very shameful that you are proud of the present situation of Nigeria .

The youths of Nigeria understands how people like you are using tribal and religious bigotry to hold this country bound.

That is why we formed the Obidient movement. 2023 is the year to pull down the structures of poverty and bigotry holding Nigeria bound.

It is POssible. Join the movement now !

Just imagine if tinubu can have 35% in all 3k’s
35% in north east states
60% in south west
30% in north central
30% in both south south n south east

How can he get 30% of North Central and 30% of South South.

If you want to defeat a well organized structure such as an Army or political party, you have to penetrate that structure and learn her strength and weakness.

That is the reason during war periods , armies send spies to the camps of their enemies.

Peter Obi penetrated the PDP structure , became their V.P candidate and learned all their secrets. That shows he is very intelligent.

Datti Baba Ahmed penetrated the APC structure and became a senator under CPC. He knows much about Buhari popularity in the north.

Hence OBIDIATTI is a combination of two intelligent men that penerated the camps of the enemies and are now ready to pull down their structures.

Hence join the movement now and stop disgracing yourself.

A New Nigeria is POssible.

Great premise, but wrong conclusion. Edo is the Epicentre of the obidient movement because EdoLites in general like everyone elsewhere want a change, but the difference is their inherent 'deep heart' in pursuing a cause. EndSars for example had nothing to do with internal wrangling in any party in the state, but we all know how Edo set an unusual precedence.

Edo is not the HeartBeat of Nigeria for nothing. Check history, and you'll see why PO must win. So, it is about the strong will of an average Edo man.

The youths of Nigeria are making waves across the world.

We produced the likes of Chimamada Adiche and many other pacesetters in their professions.

When we elect a good government in 2023 , many of our colleagues that went into crime due to frustration will retrace their steps.

Guy, it doesn't require great intelligence to get the basics in this issue.

One
We won't want a Tinubu order us around as he has always dictated for Lagos.
Two,
We'll choose our own leader and not who a godfather like Oshiomole wants.
Three,
Obaseki may not be the best but we want freedom.
Now concerning PO,
When he visited Edo and Obaseki wanted to misbehave, they showed him in clear terms that we know what we are doing.

Summary,
Edo people and most Nigerians want to take back governance.
PO is the only person who will be responsible to Nigerians.

So forget all those gaslighting, Nigerians are smarter than you think.
God bless u sir. We r smarter & know what we want.

Bayelsa, Ebonyi and Cross Rivers have the least number of voters in SS/ SE zones.

Peter Obi will get at least 70% of the votes in Ebonyi. APC won Bayelsa during last Guber election because of the influence of Jonathan that wanted to spite on ex Gov. Dickson.

Jonathan is a close ally of Obi and will quietly deliver Bayelsa. Obi will get at least 60% in Bayelsa.

Imo will be a landslide for Obi. Uzodimma is aware of this hence he always act as a P.A to Obi when he visits the State. Obi will get at least 80% in Imo.

Cross river is the only complicated issue. The battle in the state is btw Imoke ( Atiku supporter) and Wike. Ben Ayade is a political nonetity that cannot deliver the state to APC.
I expect Obi to get at least 40% in Cross river.

I respect the determination of the Edo people to demand for change in their society. They are not docile. They participate actively in the electoral process.
I'm not quite sure but I have a feeling this might stem from the fact that the great Benin kingdom has always been an organized society from way back.
Now if the rest of us can emulate this worthy attribute,then I believe we can rescue this country and set it on the path of greatness.
