PO Should Reorganize LP, Join Coalition by Validated(op): 12:56pm On Apr 05, 2025
Labour Party needs reorganization, to be led by Peter Obi. Let other opposition parties, SDP, PDP (if they still exist), NNPP and LP throw up a sellable candidate. This is the turn for the South, so the coalition should throw up Peter Obi. Peter Obi should begin talks with Kwankwaso, Tambulwa and strong Northern politicians. 2027 is possible 🙆

As for Atiku, he needs to rest, but covertly support the coalition by remaining in PDP, to do damage to Wike's hold on the party. It should be clear to him that Nigerians do not believe in him, especially the Northwest and North Central.
If Atiku chooses to run in 2027, he should confront Wike now and have the party expell the damager. Unfortunately, he does not have the clout, capacity and bravery to do that.

Those encouraging Peter Obi to run as VP to Atiku are not talking sense. The main opposition party, the PDP is on Wike's choke hold. Wike's plan is not different from what he did in 2023, and that is to cause confusion at the party's presidential primaries. Right now, he has started by hijacking SS leadership of the party, to this, noone has challenged him, not even Atiku. Damagun and the secretary are under Wike, so how can an Atiku presidential ticket become a reality? The party is only issuing thteats in the media. As it stands now, any presidential ticket that PDP throws up could be voided by the Supreme Court at the last minute. Thereby giving Tinubu a free ride to an undeserved second term.

My suggestion to Peter Obi and the Obidients movement are simple. Start pushing for a truly reliable coalition. The coalition should be spearheaded by LP, not PDP as it is now. The coalition should convince Atiku to shelve his ambition to rule Nigeria. PO should have nothing to do with known bigots like ElRufai, nobody should trust that man. For all we know, ElRufai is working for Tinubu. Their game plan is that Tinubu will support his ambition come 2031, so Obi should not fall for such cheap plan. Unfortunately for ElRufai, he is laboring in vain as Tinubu would most likely look towards Nuhu Ribadu, than ElRufai. Infact, it is already a known fact that Tinubu will discard Shettima soon and prop up Ribadu.

The coalition should throw Obi/Tambuwal or Obi/Bala Mohammed or Obi/El Rufai.

Anything other than this is dead on arrival

Obi/Kwankwaso or Obi/Elrufai. Datti Ahmed should be an integral part of the government. But u see that Elrufai, he's a snake and evil. I don't trust him at all but if his intentions are genuine then he's the right person because he can command notable politicians to join them.

But to be fair enough, if Tinubu improves the economy and security before early next year, I don't see why he shouldn't go for second term. Like bringing down dollar to naira to 700naira and petrol price to 600naira.
But I don't see that happening, they don't even listen to citizens but busy attacking and throwing propaganda up and down, recruiting self-centered people like Reno and Buala and their Nairaland mini counterpart of Yarimo, Helinues, Benuejosh and theirs bots robots for dirty misinformation

Elrufai is a no-no in the South, especially with Christians. The coalition needs a sellable structure both in the South where Obi has a strong hold and in the North, Kwankwaso is still a good option or Tambulwa.

You are already scared ... Buhari and Tinubu used coalition, so there is need to be scared.

Kwankwaso see himself as too big to be vp so count him out.

El Rufai is not sellable to Christians yet Shettima the bokoharam sponsor was not able to reduce Tinubu's northern votes
