Even if he said this

Your leaders have said worst

Nigerians know you guys now

No regions will allow you guys to manipulate them with your sectional media again.

Some of Peter Obi fans you guys argue with online are Northerners but it's hard for you guys to digest it.

Everyone hate Igbos in your yoruba head yet Igbos are in every regions/states.

Which yoruba man can ever contest for election outside the two major parties and win upto 6M votes?

But Igbo man did it and you think everyone hates them as you imagine
Yea we know who cry about Biafra or death and marginalization.

Hausa/fulani aren't cow anymore abi??

You all don't want jubrin el Sudan head again??


Snap out of your delusion cos in the scheme of things in this country you guys are 3rd class citizens.


In your mind hausa/fulani have forgotten the insult you people gave them for 8yrs?? 😆

Very foolish man. What more evidence do you need to know this fool is a hard-core bigot?
This is a guy who had prominent Yoruba people campaigning for him.
He got 90% of the votes in Iboland but Yorubas are the people who was biased?

Fool, Tinubu was addressing his loyalists and political prodigies when he made that statement .

He was telling them that it was now his turn to be supported by them to achieve his ambition after helping them get to where they where now.

Besides, Tinubu's Emo Likan which translates to "it's my turn" did not mean it's Yoruba turn.

The people who were shouting and crying that it's the turn of their tribe to rule Nigeria were you Ibos and you began that clamour long before Tinubu got the Presidential ticket or even mad his now twisted Emi Lokan declaration.

Every 0koro with a winter camp and furniture material Isia Gu outfit was all out calling for Ibo presidency as early as 2021.

So stop all these your lies.

I however like how both you guys and Obi the fraud are exposing yourselves to Nigerians thereby validating every warning I have made in the past and will continue to do.

So just continue dey run your putrid mouths anyhow.
Mad rat!
Go and rewatch that video.
Empty drum.
Tinubu first said that "it was Yorubas turn" before saying it was his turn.
How is it Yorubas turn!? Is the country made up of only Yorubas and fulanis? Why could Tinubu say that and everyone kept mute but you and your clan of fat rats are going crazy because Obi quoted your hero
Ahbegi, go and sit in a gutter

Obi is Nigeria’s number one tribalistic fraud. The Yoruba voted for him en masse, across Lagos, Ekiti, Ogun, and Osun. Even in Kwara, the Yoruba voted for this fraudulent individual. Now, compare this to what Tinubu achieved in his region.

Straight truth, yet his Agulu brain dead supporters are accusing this same west that shared their votes for all the 3 contestant in the last election tribalism..

Out of the zones, only them gave this their Agulu fraud 99% of their votes, yet to them, it’s not tribalism - maybe Agulu-ism..

Bunch of demented brain cells..

Nigerians have registered their displeasure over Obi’s comment with many describing it as unpresidential.


Obi suggested that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was voted into office because he is a Yoruba man in the 2023 general election.

Peter Obi under fire over controversial "It's our turn" comment

He asked if there is a market where Yoruba people buy things at a cheaper rate now when the prices of things have gone up.

Obi stated this during an interview on The Honest Bunch with Nedu and his crew.

“Let’s talk about what is happening today, rice is N100,000 and we are not even sure where we are gonna be with this situation.

“It is our turn, he is a Yoruba man. Ask the people in Ogun here, is there a plan where you people buy bread cheaper? So I can follow you this night and buy one.”

What has Yoruba man got to do with this? Igbo man mentality.

@Mayordavid_9


This coming from a presidential aspirant shows how so tribalistic this man is. If this was coming from an ordinary person I would overlook… but Peter Obi saying this after majority of Yoruba people voted for him in Lagos and Oyo.
Shame on him.

@Laykay0808

This is a low for a presidential aspirant to talk this way.
Is he not aware Yorubas votes and others made him win in Lagos?

@Horlartunjee1

He can make his point without mentioning that “ he is Yoruba.” Many Yorubas supported and voted for him.

Even the man himself boldly said emilokan or Yoruba lokan? Abi e no talk so? Now look @ where the disastrous political choice has landed the nation.
Even tho, you’re a deluded, concentrated & bigotry Agulu liar - make I just tutor you..

Tinubu NEVER said Awa Lo Kan (It’s our turn), he NEVER said Yoruba Lokan ( It’s Yoruba’s turn)… He only said Emi Lokan ( It’s my turn )..

Did Igbo not say *It’s our turn* ?

Tinubu… *It’s my turn*
Igbos.. *It’s our turn*


Now, between these two phrase, which is even more descending?

See, racoon, Nigeria knows those that played a tribal politics in the last election. Facts and records are there, of which I am sure you know..

Mind you... IM NOT IGBO BY TRIBE.
The highest number of votes that brought Tinubu in is from the north not even from SW. Even Obi himself realized that Yorubas chose not to give all their votes to Tinubu after seeing the results of the elections. He realized the north sololey gave Tinubu the victory through their votes. That is why he has been directing his projects to the north in order to convince them because he realized he needs their large number of votes to win.

Now that he is feeling helpless, he is beginning to show his tribalistic intent.

Which truth.

Abeg shutup.

Why did Obi leave PDP in the first place before they did their primaries?

Was it not because the Party refused to zone their ticket to any particular zone and opened the floor to all?

Why did you Ibos all vote LP ? Was it not because it had this fraudulent Ibo man as it's flag bearer?

Where your politicians, so-called elders and journalists not disturbing our space by demanding that both the APC and PDP zone their Presidential ticket to the SE?

The real tribalists are you Ibos who made nonesense of the last election by making it based purely on ethno-religious sentiments.
is it that you are bereft of perception or is it that you can't fathom?

I am NOT IGBO.

Anyway our prayer should be for a better nigeria

that's not what he said Oga... He said many of our yoruba people who voted, did that because they felt it's their turn. But now it's affecting all of us.

Let me be frank with you. I believe peter obi won the election and he was rigged. That's my opinion o.

Let's just pray for a better nigeria. Tinubu is already ruling. Let's pray he does well for all of us
you are not been truthful, i am edo.
In obis words "its our turn, he's yoruba".

That's such a shameful and divisive statement from a presidential hopeful.

During the last general elections nobody were vocal about the choice of obi more than the south westerners.
Can you point just one person from the south east that supported obi the way falz the bahd guy, mr macaroni, ayo Adebanjo, afenifere, deji adeyanju, rufai oseni supported obi against their own tribe man?

Lp won lagos, pdp won osun and oyo and you still call the yorubas tribalist?
By obi's statement how do you expect the millions of yorubas that supported and voted for obi to feel?

This same obi said he won but inec rigged fhe election how come the same obi is now saying the yorubas voted against him?

I mobilized for obi in the last general elections but this statement from him is unpresidential, statements as this are only mooted in beer parlours and by poor tribalists on nairaland and social media.
Obi suppose don big pass this kind talk, his handlers needs to work harder.
