Why Not Give Sowere A Chance? This Old Guys Have Failed Us??? by KnowAll(op): 11:54am On Aug 09, 2024
One politician says if someone like Sowere becomes president 98% of our political leaders would scamper abroad. Why demonstrate un- necessary when we can bring them down through the democratic process.

If Saraki can be swept away in Kwara that tells me no one cannot be swept away. So let us do it.

Nigerians especially the major tribes want elite rule from old MEN, which in turn later destroys them.

The major tribes have no glory in them.

They love slavery and were the most enslaved people in the history of the world

Sowore is better than Obi, Tinubu and Atiku currently. Man has consistently fought for revolution times without number.


But people rather drink their tribal poison.


And before you come to tell me how Obi is better, know that he hid public funds in his personal accounts. There's no explanation for this.

And for Tinubu's supporters? Hold it! I'm indigenous to Lagos. I know the corruption Tinubu promotes there.


For Atiku? His oga called him a thief! Imagine when a thief could call another a thief...you know what that means.



Sowore is young... Una still refuse am.

He has no criminal record like those you choose....una still refuse am.


The problem of the country is YOU.

Tinubu was almost dragged in the neck to speak to the nation yet a younger more agile would formulate ideas off the cuff without thinking too much about and those idea would fly. Because in most cases they are common senscical

it is not about Revolution. Sowore is an untested hand. Peter Obi has been a governor for 8 years and no single dent of corruption can be traced to him. He has never been investigated nor docked on any matter relating to corruption. Peter Obi is Nigeria best bet. Tribalism will kill Nigeria if Nigerians fail to act against it.

This argument is bias. So because someone hasn't been tested before, it then implies that they are incapable? Very false argument.


And based on precedence, Obi has been investigated on the Pandora Papers. And when he was gov, Anambra never became Dubai. He is a tested failure.

Who investigated Obi on the Pandora papers. Obi brought Anambra state out of dungeon during his 8 years reign. No governor has outperformed him in Anambra state. We know how Anambra was when he began to rule and how it was when he handed over.

Obi is not frail. He is just being a democrat. We do not need to shed blood before we achieve power in a democracy. Nigerians must ask for adherence to rule of law and practice same. Being a Tiger doesn't equate to being a good leader.Before Obi became governor, Anambra people couldn't invest in Anambra due to insecurity and opted for Asaba instead. Obi wiped out terrorists, imprisoning many and sanitised Anambra state. You can't judge people's capacity simply by the way they speak.

Obi is weak. Can you remember Neville Chamberlain who signed a pact with Germany in 1939 that war would not break out with Britain only for Germany to start the invasion the very next day.

Una think say leadership is going to the streets to protest.

If Sowore is serious, he should start from guber elections.

He cannot be president without having a political history in public service.

Nobody will give him the military to man without knowing his public service background.

Nigerians rejected Sowore horrendously at the 2019 poll where he scored approximately 0.00001 percent of the vote Buhari received lol.

This means he has not convinced many Nigerians across all levels of society, either through his leadership history, talk or carriage, that he is right for the job.

In fact Sowore even damaged himself further, showing he is an irredeemable and irretrievable anarchist, by demanding "revolution now" as soon as he lost election against Buhari in 2019. That solidly conformed to most Nigerians that Sowore, aside having nothing to offer, is not a democrat.

That then only led to an even worse showing for Sowore in the 2023 election because most Nigerians are wise enough to know it is a very dangerous and undemocratic candidate that loses an election to then implore the masses to convene a revolution to depose the winner.

Sowore is simply a scary anarchist in the eyes of many Nigerians. He is not marketable at all. His solution for everything is revolution and to kill all existing leaders. Pathetic. Just like IPOB Kanu. His good pal.

If an intelligent person, then make your own conclusion from how Sowore got 34k votes approx in 2019 and got 15k votes approx , less than half of his 2019 votes, in 2023.

Several candidates on Saturday contested for the presidential seat but were defeated by Muhammdu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who polled 15,191,847 votes while his main contender, Atiku Abubabakar of the Peoples Democratic Party got 11,264,977 votes to come second.

However, Sowore, 48, came sixth with 33,953 votes ahead of other new entrants to the race like Fela Durotoye of the Alliance for New Nigeria, ANN, who polled 16,779, and Kingsley Moghalu of the Young Democratic Party, YPP, who garnered 21,886 votes.

On Wednesday, Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of the commission, declared Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the winner of the election.

Yakubu said the APC standard bearer secured a total of 8,794,726 votes to win the election.

Meanwhile, Sowore was only able to garner 14, 608 votes in the election.

Sowore has already lost Elections on top of all that he is using Protests to collect Foreign Grants which is too dangerous with Nigeria being a resource rich country that many foreign players are interested in

He could be on Russia's payroll for all we know and he who pays the Piper dictates the tune

Sowore's call for Rebellion Revolt was already badly suspicious

But to discover that he was collecting foreign Grants for years made his case alarming

Sowore was one of those that brought in Buhari. I don't think his judgement is tight.

We have had enough of all these simplistic reasons for being considered a material for the presidency. I remember the same argument was put forward for Buhari. We all were told how Buhari will get rid of corruption and corrupt people. Enough of that bullsh!t

Obi gets to the finish line but could not really grab it. Someone else need that momentum from now until 2027 so that by d time we are going for election the whole world would know it is a foregone conclusions.

Absolutely. Even the Senate will not be a bad starting point to launch a political career with ultimate aim of becoming President.

Sowore was 48 at the time of the 2019 post making him significantly younger than Tinubu, Obi and Atiku.

If he was wise, then he would have opted for an 'introductory' political role that would allow him prove himself so that all Nigerians, i.e leaders and followers, know and embrace him.

Yet, because he is unwise, undemocratic and disinterested in doing things the right way, Sowore felt it was a right for him to contest to be President and be handed the position on a platter despite having no known leadership record at all in Nigeria.

This all imply Sowore is an arrogant person basking in the belief he can just waltz in from the USA, where he lives, to come and take charge of Nigeria.

Dude is a joker and Nigerians told him as much with the paltry votes they dashed him. Probably out of pity and with most coming from his friends, associates and family.

I'm sure Obi will get it this time as he will not rely on INEC and the judiciary.

Even Sowore did not support Obi in 2023, so he doesn't have that moral claim on Obi's supporters.

But more than this, is that Obi understands leadership and will make an excellent economic and prudent manager of Nigeria's resources, while at the same time ensuring that a SEner leads Nigeria.

Sowore is from the SW that have produced Shonekan, Obasanjo and Tinubu as presidents over the past 40 years.
No Igbo man ever led Nigeria within the same 40 year period.

Peter Obi tried and failed in Anambra. We still have the record to show this. Obi's record as state Governor dey as mediocre as that of Tinubu. We also have records to prove that Atiku and Kwawanso are unqualified for the role of presidency. It makes more sense to hire a novice than to hire proven mediocres, don't you think? undecided

I am not even advocating for the OP's choice;what I am vehemently against is the recycling of failures and/or criminals who only grace is granted them by their running to the Nigerian courts for salvation. undecided
