he won on social media only.
Didn't Aisha Yesufu say they will show evidence of a rigged election in court?
E reach court, they could even provide evidence
Evidence was shown, the court looked the other way. But dull will continue to argue

Peter Obi believes that the power belongs to the people and the people should vote and defend their votes. But that kind of politics doesn't work in Nigeria.

It's not even about the people joining APC, it about who controls INEC.

One thing is sure, there will be internal fights in APC come 2027 because of the too many criminals joining the party.

But it is left for Nigerians to continue suffering in the name of tribalism, religion and ethnicity or try another solution towards ending their plight.
God Bless you for this Comment.👍

APC has to be Careful with all the Decampees coming in.
Some will come in with different Agenda. sad

In Delta APC, Dat's how Ned Nwoko of PDP went there and tussle is brewing now between him and Omo-agege. undecided

The Veteran Great Ogboru has also Decamped to APC and It's a Case of too many Captains on one Ship.

A CRISIS in APC will Erupt and They will disintegrate if they continue to Take in all the Desperado Decampees and CanNOT manage them. sad sad

OBI knows that SE and SS are not transport union illiterate. He knows we vote individuals. The vote he got the last time was not because of Labour party. The obidient move is a bull dozer not interested in party.He was defeated last time because of rigging in the North and not party.This time the north has learnt the hard way because of SW poverty and hunger. They will not agree again to be used to rig.And if you try it.The country will burn.The party is only a vehicle by inec law.
We are going to vote based on individuals merit.
You should be asking yourself on what achievement will SW be asking for vote in 2027.Forget all the media propaganda. On what merit will SW president tell people on the street dying of hunger,poverty and insecurity to vote him.This are the 3 major concerns to most nigeria who are going to vote.
I have never supported tilumbu but you must realise that voters do not determine election winners, those who count votes and judiciary do

Tilumbu understands and intends to exploit this. He would tell the govs to ensure they vote APC and in return he would not give them trouble. They may even push both governorship and presidential elections to hold on the same day

Since he has fallen out of favour with the core north, he has decided to align with the south south , south east and north Central. This was the policy that Goodluck used to win in 2011.

What would he campaign with? Money of course. He realised that the hunger he inflicted must have taken its toll and people would sell their votes enmass for peanuts, money stolen from same Nigerians

The north despite their numbers cannot win in elections all by themselves , they need to get the support of another region. South West is out of it, so it south south because they feel the "south" must complete its 8 years. Furthermore, There would be voter apathy in the south East which is the recipe required for rigging

The north would likely want to push a northern candidate which would be their downfall.

The only thing that can help the north is if the collaborate with the southern who has northern appeal , maybe just maybe then would they would get votes but alas their votes would not count because the rigging machines in the south and North Central would be employed massively

So is it stands, its a done deal for tilumbu. He would most probably win despite the hardship he is inflicting on people

There is nothing like game spoiler here. Even if Atiku had run with Obi Inec would still have done their magic. Leave what our useless leaders are telling you.
The rogues in power will do anything to retain power and will never and I mean never allow a free n fair election in Nigeria. So don't fool yourself with their antics.

You think an average Nigeria's politicians don't know the likely outcome of an electionhuh

Peter Obi may be banking on the masses and surprises at the poll...It worked for him, especially in Lagos in the last election...so, it's possible it worked for him again.


But, if you ask me, chances that just figures will better that of 2023, if he contest, under this political developments....I don't think so
Exactly.👍

Dat's why I said It's a Gamble for him, as per his 'I don't care attitude' on the Defections to APC. smiley

If he decides to Contest, Who knows, Many Nigerians will still vote for him massively, particularly if Tinibu continues with his Poor Performance in Governance. sad smiley

If PETER OBI agreed to become Atiku's running mate in that last 2023 Election,
APC would have presented Osibanjo as presidential candidate. smiley

That PDP Combo would have been too Powerful,
so APC would have presented Osibanjo and whipp heavy Christian sentiments and PROPAGANDA
saying a Hausa Muslim (Atiku) should not replace an Hausa Muslim (Buhari). sad smiley

My Brother, don't underrate the North o. smiley

If they do a Buhari Styled SAI BABA for PETER OBI in 2027, South east and Many of us in South south will join them. cool smiley

Afterall, Dat's how Tinibu GANGED up with them to oust our brother, Goodluck Jonathan. undecided

These obidient people, is it that you guys are incapable of any logical thinking or you think people become president by wishful thinking?
Lemme tell you, the only edge Obi had in the last election was the Muslim /Muslim ticket. He basically ran on the structure of CAN. But that propaganda will not work because Tinibu has shown no sign of favour to any particular religion.

That is the beauty of democracy, the freedom of choice. That the defectors will face disciplinary action or have lost their elected post on the basis of the platform through which they got elected is another discourse.

Also, that the defected members of the various parties will be re-elected is another thing.
This might just be the end of political prostitution in Nigeria by the end of 2027 elections.

I am confident the defected party members regardless of their positions, are doing it for their individual ambitions as against the need to serve the people.

2027 will be a defining election for the soul of Nigeria. It is either Nigerians completely jettison, boycott the elections or will come out en masse to do what’s right for once regardless INEC’s, or men in uniform or hoodlums and touts’ threats!

He did it in 2023 without any governor, senator, member of HOR or HOA, LG chairman, councillor, etc.

None of the people decamping today supported him in 2023. So why should he worry?

His only concern should be INEC, not some politicians decamping. I am from Delta, will vote for Tinubu simply because the governor moved to APC? No.
Re: Defections To APC: Why Is Peter Obi Seemingly Unbothered About It? by tableshaker3: 7:56am On Apr 24, 2025
But Kwakwanso and Kano Governor plus Senators are decamping to APC.

Which planet are you from?

The North know they can tolerate Tinubu for another 4 years. He is Mr Infrastructure, let him build all he can build. They will take power back 2031 and revert to stomach Infrastructure.

I only pity Atiku and Hel Rufai, their coalition is Dead on Arrival.
VinnyBaba:
Lols,
Seriously the North could really do a SAI BABA for Obi, like they Did Buhari in 2015.
They are seriously Angry with Tinibu due to his Y0rubanized appointments. sad

They don't care if Igbo, Efik or Isoko man becomes President. smiley

Tinibu's style of governance has ANNOYED the hell out of them. sad

Obi is an un-announced member of APC already. APC has come to stay as a breeding ground for new generation of leaders in Nigeria. Tinubu as usual is breeding and strengthening new sets of leaders from mainly the south and the north. The defections are pure political bargaining and realignment for both 2027 and 2031. With the current plan, Atiku is a complete gonner.

Young man, stop being mischievous just to make yourself and people that don't know you happy online while your life remain the same despite being a supporter of failed politicians that have failed you and all Nigerians.


It is clear to everyone that Peter Obi won the 2023 Presidential election.

Irev portal went through at some point and suddenly stopped, I was a witness so you guys should stop lying foolishly. Didn't you see some polling unit results for Presidential election on irev before they stopped uploading any all later?


Polling unit result election for NASS was going through till date but Presidential own suddenly developed glitch and you cannot use your wisdom to know what transpired?


Why did you think Tinubu, his closest allies and supporters were all fixated on attacking Peter Obi shortly after the election and even after the election leaving Atiku that even went as far as going to US to shame Tinubu and later holding a press conference about Tinubu's certificate forgery and drug case? It is because they know who won the election and needed to be focused on him and not Atiku they know never came close.



Lastly, didn't you see the America wonder Wike did for Tinubu in Rivers state where nobody voted for Tinubu at all?

Are you not aware that Obi won Tinubu in Lagos with over 700k votes before the margin got reduced by INEC? I am a witness, my uncle that worked as LP Chairman for a big LGA in Lagos was chased out of collation center when he raised alarm when they started changing the results.



See don't support evil for your own good and that of your family, if you don't know what happened, the heartbreaking rigging and injustice they did to Peter Obi just remain silent so you don't use your mouth to bring negative forces on yourself for no reason.




Best thing is don't defend what you don't know, just allow it slid cos they did terrible things to rob Peter Obi of the winning he got in 2023.




Peter Obi won 2023 Presidential election and Tinubu, his family and all his closest allies including Nyesome Wike knows that Peter Obi won the election. So don't defend what you know nothing about just to shalaye online while these corrupt politicians destroy Nigeria and make life miserable for Nigerians. You gain nothing defending corruption and the election rigging aside to shalaye online
