I disagree.

How many governors did Obi have when he won 11 states and the FCT in 2023?

These things are just false narratives that they plant into our heads to make us think the governors are almighty.

But 2023 showed that the people are the structure. Forget where the governor is standing, if the people collectively resolve where they want to go, there’s little to nothing a governor can do.
Forget the Werey

You have no idea how powerful governors are, especially when they have good relationship with the Commissioner of Police and the GOC of the state's military barracks.

In short, elections can only be free and fair if the governor of a state wants it to be. Where he wants otherwise, he will mobilize security operatives and men to rewrite the results and nobody can do anything about it.

Dey play!!
So why did this not happen in 2023?
Re: Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by coolhearted33: 5:22pm On Apr 25, 2025
Atiku will lead the coalition and Peter Obi will be the candidate 💯

Atiku should be vice and take over after obi does a single term
Re: Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by kayperry: 5:22pm On Apr 25, 2025
None have the attribute of a leader,

Atiku will always put his ambition 1st

Peter Obi lack affluence in political sphere to command respect needed to foster a coalition
Re: Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by Babangidapikin: 5:23pm On Apr 25, 2025
None ..Oga Atiku should wait for the North's time and Oga Obi should just advice Jagaban

Obi is ok but Jonathan would be the perfect storm!
Re: Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by maik: 5:26pm On Apr 25, 2025
I think Obi should lead the coalition. Atiku has nothing to offer, he is just desperate to rule. Peter Obi is the man.
Re: Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by Chickensoup: 5:27pm On Apr 25, 2025
There is no coalition.
Re: Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by blacksam01: 5:28pm On Apr 25, 2025
Obi , because he is southerner.. and this is the turn of the south
Re: Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by Guestmale: 5:28pm On Apr 25, 2025
Is this coalition going to give us another manifesto different from the one APC is implementing now, because it's this same manifesto that brought present hardship is what both Atiku and Obi promise to implement if voted for.

No coalition is needed.

When Nigerians are ready, they will do the needful. Millions of people sat at home without voting.These are the people that can make that difference.

Forget 50 governors joining APC or babablu.
I love this.. smiley

Atiku should lead it and ensure Peter Obi emerges as the presidential candidate.

Agbado election analyst. Enablers of rigging and corruption because it favours their tribesman.

Any Coalition led by Atiku or any Northerner will fail.

If it's a North vs South, SE and SS will automatically go to Tinubu a southerner. Either because of Nnamdi KANU or because of their hate for herdsmen.

If a North leads and takes Obi as VP, it will fail because people will want to hear from the President not the VP.

Only Peter Obi with an influential Northern VP can truly give Tinubu a run for his money because Nigerian voters wants to hear the problems and how you plan to solve them.

The above combo can only shake Tinubu but the powers that control INEC will determine who wins.

I think Obi is still sceptical of the agenda of the drivers.

But I believe soon, the pressure will start mounting on Atiku to shelve his ambition of someone else.

Analysts are already blaming him for being the architect of PDP’s current woes. Making him the candidate of the coalition will just be a joke and an easy ride for Tinubu.
Obi can't win Tinubu in the North if we are to be honest. Seems you guys don't know what is going on. The APC are preparing over a trillion naira financial war chest for this election. I believe the only support Atiku can give Obi is for both of them to reach a secret pact that Atiku should be the presidential candidate and Obi vp, then after winning Atiku can step down and nominate a VP for him.

Any other thing, Tinubu will use the hunger in the land to buy his way to power.

Amy coalition that doesn't involve governors cannot win a presidential election. Nigerian institutions are so weak that anyone can rig the election and get away with it. As regards who will lead the coalition, I personally think Peter Obi should, but Atiku wants to be president by all means.
Atiku should lead it. That's his only chance. 2031 is still far away. Obi can take over after 4 years with serious agreement. But no, greed will not allow it.

[quote author=Penguin2 post=135122631][/quote]Let them form the coalition first before determining who leads it. Monkey like Atiku and Hell-rufia cannot work for Baboon like Peter Obi to chop.

So far Atiku is in the forefront while Obi didn't even attend the formal press conference declaration and hasn't been heard talking about it except trying to form alliance with Bauchi governor on his own. He cannot reap where he didn't show like he likes to everywhere.

If Tinubu survived all that Buhari and his cabal threw at him during the 2023 elections some of which we the people are still feeling the effect till today I doubt if a million Obi/Hell-rufia or Atiku/Obi tickets could do to Tinubu's re-election. But they are free to do all they can to stay relevant till 2031 when they all be too old to contest and Obi will revert to his regional terrorist that he was doing quietly before Atiku picked him as VP in 2019.
