Soludo is better of as a policy maker and custodian of the economy. He knows the job. I may not like him as a politician but he's so lovely as an economist. Man is loaded!
Even as a governor, he's doing extremely well.

That's the right thing and the only way they will support higher minimum wage.

Please which of the APGA are you talking about? Hope it is not the same APGA with just one governor and few legislators that labour party of yesterday are more than? Even if you need to lie, you should have found another lie to hold on to and not the glaring one. Even in his home state, how many legislators from APGA? I think they are 11 or 12 out of 20 something legislators. I pray lie will not kill you one day.
Just because he is trying to play dirty politics of going against your perceived enemy, you now see him as a worthy politician. No doubt Soludo tried during his term as a governor of CBN but there are some sections of the citizens that were crucifying him then because of some policies he introduced then. Again, what spectacular thing has he done for the people of Anambra? Please outline them for the world to know.
The enemy of my friend is my friend and the friend of my enemy is my friend, that's just what you're depicting and nothing more.
Meanwhile, what he said is the truth but has is gotten the ball to send a bill to his house of assembly, so that all his political appointees can be placed on minimum wage as he canvassed. Enu ose, enu ose, ariwo ko ni music o, empty barrel no ma pari wo.
Why should I lie about my support for Soludo? The evidence speaks for itself. He is still in his first term as governor in an economy decimated by Tinubu and APC. Soludo's ideology is based on free market economics, which he has proven at the federal and state levels. I. can never support a candidate that was once Atiku vice president at the PDP

But you already lied. You claimed he has brought APGA to limelight and I asked you with how many governor and legislators?
He is still in his first term. I asked again, what spectacular thing has he done for the good people of Anambra that warrant your self adoration of him. Four years is enough to turn the tide around because having the second term is not a guarantee and not sacrosanct constitutionally but a privilege if the people you're governing find you worthy. The mentality of making it a must for second term is what makes many not to do anything for a space of 8 years.
I reiterate, reel out some heart warming development he has brought to Anambra state that is benefiting the good people there or save us the audio praise allotted to him.
Even the issue he canvassed, as laudable as it is, what step has he taken in his state? As he been bold enough to send an executive bill to his state House of Assembly to that effect and place his political appointees on minimum wage as it were? Me I always prefer people with action and not people with words alone. Enu ose ariwo ko ni music o, empty barrel no ma pari wo. Even in English, it is often said, too much cook spoils the brook. Let us even see what will follow his words for the benefit of doubt.

Maybe you need to define a lie?

Who was the governor of APGA in 2019? they had n

Today, the former CBN governor is the sole governor of APGA, putting the party in the limelight. If PO had stayed in APGA, guess how many governors they would have today. PO would have been able to force the PDP to back him based on the strength of his support in APGA.

You know how many politicians that have been in APGA that have defected to another party? One of them is Okorocha. He was elected under the platform of APGA but he didn't not finished his second tenure under the platform that elected him. Please was he the one that told him to defect? Otti was also once in APGA. He contested to be a governor under the same platform. What took him to APC and now LP?
Besides, are you aware that Soludo began his political journey from PDP? Why didn't he start from APGA too. APGA is just a convenient vehicle use by the people of Igbo extraction and not because it is nationally convenient for them and that is why you see them defecting to National parties as soon as they finished their tenure.
Obi staying in APGA wouldn't turn APGA to national party, take that to bank. He can only exert his influence to make it relevant in Anambra and probably one or two states in SE and not outside the region then.
I called you a liar because you claimed Soludo had grew APGA and that was why I asked you with how many governor and legislators.

My statement that Soludo put APGA in the limelight is correct. Okorocha left APGA over 10 years ago to join PDP at a time when APGA had 7 reps, and he left APGA as he latched and got nothing. The party is rebuilding its base, and with a high-profile elite politician like Soludo, we might start seeing the return to regional politics.

I recall that in the 1980s, Nigeria was blessed with regional political parties that developed their regions: UPN, GNPP, PRP, NPP, and NPP, which acted as the sole national party but focused on NW interests.

The so-called national parties have been the bain of Nigerian democracy, in their fight to win the centre they have neglected the country,

All political parties are convenient vehicles; the difference is that Tinubu ACN and Buhari CPC were effectively used to build the APC coalition in 2011.

In your first paragraph you misyarn and that has rendered all your comment null and void. Okorocha left APGA for APC and not PDP. Get your fact right. Okorocha started his political journey from PDP as he contested to be PDP presidential candidate but he lost. It was after then he ported to APGA where he contested the governorship election of Imo and he won Ohakim. That was what made Ohakim of PDP not to enjoy second term till date. Please learn your political history and stop confusing thaie learning from Nairaland.

Regional politics can only work in our contemporary level at the national if and only if we return to region government. No regional party had ever had headway in our contemporary life, except they merge with other regional party.
AC fielded candidate and they could not get 2m votes. ACN fielded candidate and they could not get 3m votes. It's only CPC that was able to get 12m votes two times because of fanatical followers Buhari have and that doesn't win him the presidency the two times.
If you think APGA will have a headway of winning presidency that would be a bogus lie. If Soludo comes out to take as a presidential candidate under APGA, even won't get up to 1m and someone like you won't vote for him.
Take this to bank, no regional political party will win presidential election in Nigeria because the way Nigeria is structured.

Again know your history. It wasn't only ACN and CPC was used to build APC. It was a coalition of ACN, CPC, nPDP and APGA that made the coalition effective and virile. That powerful five governors and some legislators that joined the APC made the election at ease for APC then. I want to give you an assignment, APC did not get up to 2.5m votes in south west in 2015 presidential election. You can fact check me for that. APC votes came largely from the NE, NW and NC. APC coalition was more effective because of the entrance of the nPDP and not because of ACN.

It is a simple error that doesn't divert from the main point that Okorocha left APGA for a larger party. The point is that Okoracha and Peter Obi weakened APGA, which could have been developed as a base for a wider coalition as CPC and ACN did in 2011.


The main building blocks of APC were ACN and CPC, led by Tinubu and Buhari. Tinubu bought in 6 states, and Buhari had over 11 million electorates; that is one of the reasons why, after Buhari 8 years of failed government, he had to hand power to Tinubu in the infamous "emi lokan" speech.

You must understand political strategy. PO jumping from one political party to another will not make him president, especially in a country like Nigeria, where the electorate's votes don't count.

That was a costly mistake that should not have been. Meaning you don't have handy all your fact and figure. This just shows you don't know anything about the APGA as a party.
Let me give you some gist about APGA, as to let you know that APGA will remain a regional party till they fuse with other parties or else they will go into extinction one day.
APGA have been having internal wrangling since the founder of the party died. They seasonally have division in the party because one section want to control the party and another set also want to control the soul of the party. That has been the bane of the party since Ojukwu died, the founder.
So don't expect such party will have headway in the national polity. Looking at it, they have been having it difficult to spread through the SE and they have not been able till date.
Saying Obi and Okorocha weakened APGA is just sweat words and you don't know anything about APGA. The infighting in APGA is more than the infighting in APC and PDP since their inception. If you know the number of court cases on headship, you would know that Obi or Okorocha can't be the problem of APGA.

You even know that Buhari failed for 8 years but your Tinubu never for once question his government, just because of his selfish ambition of becoming the president. Why those complaining and critical of Buhari's government are been silence that time. Truly, to enter heaven for some of you APC, it would take serious sanctification and laying of hands and legs.
You guys prefer to ruin the country so far your political capital is protected. E le rorun wo lase edumare.
Now, people are complaining again but you guys are shutting them down just to protect Tinubu political capital again. Nothing concern you guys about the economy and the poor Nigerians facing the brunt of the government policies, all that concern you guys is the protection of Tinubu and his government.
May God shame the enemies of this nation that call himself the lover of the country.

Which of the Peter Obi that is jumping from one party to the other? Please can you tell me any known figure that doesn't jump from one party to the other in this country. Is it Tinubu or Buhari that doesn't jump from one party to the other in this country before merging to form APC? You guy should stop this frivolity and face the reality.

Where have I demonstrated any support for Tinubu or Buhari? Because I don't support PO, I must support APC.

This is the typical primitive Nigerian way of communication. Your response is full of emotion and bitterness and lacks the intellectual capacity to debate political issues; the fact that I said PDP instead of APC is supposed to be an unforgivable error in your lexicon.

Writing long responses littered with elementary grammar is below my communication level. I will leave you to wallow in your ignorance. I cannot solve your emotional problem, and I don't want to be the outlet of your frustration.

This is the problem of some of you, always thinking anybody that puts you in your right place politically is attacking you and his attack is emotionally laced. Just to let you know, I don't even vote by the nature of my job and I can't vote for now, except I resign from my job tomorrow and I am not contemplating that for now.

Please where did you see any emotional words in my comment? Correcting your errors have become emotional language in your own world. Just know I am not in the class of people you can lie to on political terrain of this nation. I voted in 1992 and that should let you know I am not a baby not to know bit by bit of some issues in Nigeria.
You comment and lie in it and you expect me to lie low and take it hook line and sinker. You missed road. You can only lie to your class of political novice and not me.

Meanwhile, whoever you support or not support is your right as far as it is well known that human being is a political animal. There's no way your heart will not flow with one person out of many of them. So, save me the rhetoric of whom you support or not.

Now, in an attempt to dodge bullet, you're hiding under grammatical error in my comment. Sorry you came late.

If truly you voted in 1983 and you have forgotten the happenings just less than 20 years, then, there is a problem somewhere.
Well, you're of age if truly you voted in 1983 because as at then I was in primary 5 and I can still recall vividly what happened in that year down the line.
You need to stop this line of me been frustrated emotionally. Frustrated for what? My only concern is the frustration Tinubu heaped on the good people of the country. My salary that I earn in 6 digits is enough for me to feed and fend for my family and still save for the rainy day.

You are making the subject personal again; you must separate your experience from the subject that we are discussing. Nigeria's structure always meant it would end up this way.

If PO were the president, he would have won an election on less than 40% of the electoral votes; how would he pass his budget and bills without defaulting to paying bribes to the house members? Why has Mele Kyari been retained as the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Limited) despite six years of absolute incompetence and corruption within the oil industry?

There is no democracy in Nigeria; what you have is selection by the owners of Nigeria, who own the majority of the country's arable land and oil fields. The APC and PDP are political parties designed to support the ongoing state capture, and nothing will change until Nigeria takes to the street.

Your second paragraph I won't buy it. It's not compulsory for executive to bribe his way to pass a budget, except the budget is not meant for the people but for him. It is when the budget is anti people, that the president need to be bribing for the national assembly to pass the budget but if not.
If I am a president and I forward a budget that is a budget of the people and the national assembly refused to pass it, I will expose their shenanigans and pelt the people against them.
It is the padding of budget that makes them bribing up and down and not because they are doing the right thing.

I have never made it personal for once but as it is well known, experience is the master of the game of politics, even though I am not a politician and don't vote but I follow in situ political issues in Nigeria for long. Without political experience, I wouldn't have recalled political journeys of those we've been mentioning in our comments since yesterday.

Your third paragraph is the true picture of what we have in Nigeria but as you said the people allowed it and until we revolt against them, things won't change.

You will not buy it because, like any typical Nigerian, you are looking for a saviour (cult of personality). This is what happens to a country deep in religion and superstition.

Peter Obi was once the governor of Anambra State as a member of the APGA. He then joined the PDP for six years, culminating in becoming Atiku's vice president, and then he joined the Labour Party. Peter Obi is a successful businessman and a proponent of a free market economy, with policies linked to the removal of oil subsidies, privatisation, and floating the Naira, all policies antithetical to the Labour Party.

Atiku is very corrupt, yet Peter Obi was his VP. Gen Sani Abacha also appointed Peter Obi, as Chairman of Tin Can Island Port.You think that a man who is prepared to be Atiku's VP is clean and honest.

I judge a man by his deeds and not his word. A man's past actions are an indication of his future decision. PO is not an ideologist; hence, his decision will be based on circumstances and self-interest.

I judge a man by his deeds and not his word. A man's past actions are an indication of his future decision. PO is not an ideologist; hence, his decision will be based on circumstances and self-interest.
My brother, no serious country and serious president that knows the rule of law bribe to pass people's budget. A budget that is meant to lift the people and not a budget of self. I will continue to say it and I will repeat it thousand times. A budget meant to improve the livelihood of the people will not go through bribing before been passed. They are bribing the legislators because they knew the budget is full of padding and not meant to improve citizens life.

I think this your second paragraph is unnecessary here because at every electioneering period every presidential candidate issue out a manifesto, which contains their programmes and policies to embark on if they win the election. If it was antithetical to labour party ideals, the party would have corrected it. Or you mean to say Labour Union and not Labour Party?

You claimed Atiku is very corrupt. Please what makes a man corrupt? As the court sentence him for any graft in life or the usual media sentence?
As a learned person I don't expect you to join bandwagon by calling someone that has not been prosecuted and court sentence him for any breach of the constitution in his public service life. Yes, anybody can say or write whatever they like on people but that doesn't constitute a court sentence or pronouncement. So saying Atiku is corrupt defeats any reasoning.
Your personal opinion has not ventilated Peter Obi not becoming Atiku's VP because no document have shown Atiku to be corrupt.
Again, you claimed Abacha made Peter Obi TinCan Island Chairman. Please my brother, he was a trade union chairman and not a portfolio working for the government. Till date someone is still the chairman of the said trade union and not under the control of government but union. If he is a TinCan Island Chairman, what rule has that breached again or was he found wanting during the time or he embezzle their money? Because I don't know what correlation that one has today. Or is there any report that suggest that Peter Obi used his position to ferry money for Abacha or what?
You guys are just trying with all you can to link Peter Obi to dirty dealing but as the bible puts it, the devil came to me but he find but nothing. You guys can only try but will find but nothing in Peter Obi. There is a difference in a man of principle and character.

At this junction can you itemize any bad deeds of Peter Obi that you see and EFCC or ICPC didn't see. I think that will be a good leverage for the antigraft agencies to bank on, if you can later package that and forward it to EFCC or ICPC. Lobatan!!!
