PresidObi:
The people that told you to pick a paperweight Okowa must e working for jagaban.

Peter Obi won everywhere in Delta state that Okowa was still a sitting governor.

Where did Obi win everywhere in Delta state that he did not repeat in Rivers state?

In other presidential elections before Wike, PDP scored over one million votes. Even with his last minute so called 200k special assistants, he delivered less than 300k votes to APC, according to what was claimed. Was that progressive or retrogressive? To you, who was a paperweight between Wike and Okowa, who delivered the Presidential election victory to his party in Delta state? Why was Wike not able to muster over one million votes, or even close to it, as was always the custom. We all have always expected heavy votes from Kano and Rivers. NNNP scored close to one million votes, yet your Wike could not match words with action in Rivers state.

Labour Party defeated APC in Lagos state, but can you call Shettima a paper weight politician? Or you do not understand what the word paperweight means?

A decent politician with integrity with not sell his party and people for selfish interests. Okowa does not and will never do that. Your Wike has been accused severally, and even openly by Magnus Abe of anti party activities. With such greedy people as Wike, how can political parties progress?

Oya, answer.

Best decision no regret

thats cos they saw the tide swinging in Obi's favour. Atiku Okowa were party spoilers and APC merely used that second they got as a psychological shield for Obi to calm him down faster after the theft of mandate.

Heffalump:
If Atiku had made the mistake of picking Wike as running mate in 2023, it wouldn't have changed anything. Wike is not acceptable much in the North because of his madness.

The Obi's Tsunami is something to reckon about. On the other hand, if Obi had remained in PDP and Atiku runs with him like in 2019, then it would have been finished for APshit.

Does it mean that Soludo and others were right about Obi helping ebilokan to continue APC shege of the past 10 years

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

Mumusaphire:
u don't know wike has judiciary power to himself

How nah? Anu u think he will have that over a sitting president
Then again. All cases that wike take to the court and won have been justice served. The man is intelligent enough to know what to pursue and what not to. He doesn't allow lawyers deceive him.
Take for example the defection case. Any Judge any where in the world give same verdict. Because it was carefully orchestrated for fubara to fall into.
It's all politics

Dalohad:
No serious President would pick Wike as running mate. The man is too power-hungry and unrefined that he could poison his boss and take over.

Best is to keep him at arm's length and watch him eat himself up with bitterness.

Best way to describe wike

pdp is a just weak party

imagine this person like wike nearly fly the pdp presidential ticket in 2023, infact he won, he only lost because of technicalities loophole which tambuwal sacrificed


A coalition is what will need to remove this satanic apc tinubu government

anonimi:

It was visible to the blind and audible to the deaf.
It only flew over the Obidients heads no wonder so people call dem obi diots.

Soludo warned them they failed to listen.

I know someday sometimes God sparing our lives someone will come out to say how Peter Obi himself was in on the act.
Fingers crossed

We shouldn't lie, I'm not a woke fan, but with the options that was given to Atiju, I would have chosen wike, because apart from the fact that wike is insensitive, wike has the political sagacity amongst the 3 and h3 can pull more crowds than them...

I will even chose udom emmanue over okowa...

professorPABX:
Who do they like? Wike financed most of the PDP projects including some elections, though he was supported by few governors who stood by him. The party was kept alive mostly by Wike before the election. Tambuwal received =N=500 million from Wike as support for Market reconstruction. That time I complained of markets that were destroyed by fire at Oyo and Lagos but Wike didn't send money. At last, Tambuwal that betrayed Gbajabiamila, betrayed Wike.

You left a Party for years not knowing how the Party survived only to come and pick the Party Ticket, is that Democracy? Even AWOLOWO cannot leave Action Party or UPN and come back after some years to pick the Presidential Ticket except he forms another Party.

Also, I don't blame you and your people, it is Pa Ayo Adebanjo and Okupe that I blamed, otherwise, today nobody would have known OBI exist. I know even before they died that both of them will not witness next election . The old man that handed over Afenifere leadership to Pa Ayo Adebanjo due to old age and health issue is still alive he collected the leadership of Afenifere from him in 2023 that is how gods of the Yoruba work. OBI was nobody in Nigeria politics and a political orphan before Pa Ayo Adebanjo and Okupe carried him on their back, today none of them is witnessing the next election.

Oh? And how did tinubu respond when the old man's daughter died by herdsmen. Like a coward he said where are the cows. Okupe is in hell roasting his corns by now, since he had the audacity to like tinubu to Christ Jesus.

Okowa had money, PDP is just useless.

Kennitrust:
The way things are in this country, I don't know if anyone will be considering North, South, West or East, as a presidential candidate.

I Believe what we all want at present is someone who can help us reverse some of the inhuman policies this dirty man makes against Nigerians.

I just wish Another party will defeat this present government so that someone like wike will be dealt with in the language he will understand.

No Ministers in the north or south west or south east is boastful and arrogant like this our south south fct minister. I just hate that man like his master.

You don't need to hate them, just see everything as a movie because all of them move and go around decamping when necessary. Imagine as some Nigerians now in love with el-rufai after all the killings and religious war he created. simply because he is at the other side temporarily for now.

So if Wike do same , he will be supported later.

Salewa97:
Atiku the flip flopper.

This same guy was lamenting about Wike not being his running mate few months ago. Now he is giving us this flimsy excuse.

God will punish Atiku and his 3rd force allies.

But will spare your tinubu? The way u guys even play your politics with the name of God. Spit on you

DO YOU HAVE MORE SENSE THAN ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE THAT RECOMMENDED OKOWA AS NUMBER ONE OVER WIKE...... USE UR HEAD TO THINK BRO.

PDP's impunity and corruption have landed Nigeria in the wicked hands of APC.

VnAhunnaPl:
Atiku knows that Wike would have exposed him.

Expose him to what exactly? Was he not the one who said he doesn't want 2nd position?

Did you see any herdsmen there? You are an IBO, I attended University in IBO land. It is only a foolish IBO that will call a Yoruba man a coward. Even Ojukwu cannot call Yoruba man a coward. The BIAFRA war strategy was designed by Colonel Banjo the first Commander of BIAFRA ARMY. Tinubu said "is Evans also a
herdsman".

Now you can say Okupe should roast in hell. It was OKUPE that brought OBI to Pa Ayo Adebanjo for support. OKUPE's case to IBOS is like Colonel Banjo's case to the IBOS. Ojukwu executed BANJO saying he was planning coup against him. You executed OKUPE because he realized he made mistake. The future generations of the Yoruba people will read your story.

I don't know the criteria the committee considered. But if I were a part of the committee, I would have opted for Udom, Wike, and Okowa. The exact reverse order the Committee chose. Udom is a solid guy.

Perhaps, what the committee where thinking was that they wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Leverage on Okowa's 'Igbo-ness' and 'South-South' to sway votes in both regions.

ChicagoFires:
Wike is not loved by the North and that will jeopardize Atiku chances of becoming Pressure.

Atiku should call back stronger in 2027 and chose his running mate from the South East

Wike dis n dat.. as him atiku carry okowa weh una north like. He later win. If only he picked wike, by now he 4 dey Aso rock. Even atiku regrets not picking him

What is decent about Okowa that failed as a governor, rigged his LGA for Ned to win and rigged out Omo Agege for useless Sheriff

That's the evidence of a place where free and fair election took place. Okowa is not as criminally imbibed, and a perfect election rigger as Wike.

Where did Wike get his vote in PDP primaries from?

General Gusau was the voice

Dalohad:
The truth is that Northerners don't like Wike. They insisted that Atiku should not pick him.

It's all common knowledge.

One thing that always amazed me about this people is that, they takes stupid steps and after no body cares again they will now come and shalaye even at that they will still lie again ..

exposed him how?

Does your friend know that his friend doesnt have brains?

Who cares
