Just a reminder that a sitting governor, Enugu state governor, lost his senate bid to Labour Party candidate. A party without a governor at the time.
My brother, don't bother yourself to explain the obvious to persons who like to shy away from the fact that power belongs to the people.

Did you follow the said election closely?

What can you say about rivers state results?

quote author=Penguin2 post=135122926]
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.[/quote]

Do you think any coalition can stop tinubus reelection? I'm curious because I'm not seeing the possibilities of stopping tinubus second term
I don't care... If Nigerians are hungry and angry enough there is nothing Tinubu can do

Lol.....

Like I said..... I voted for him... same way many northerners voted for him agaisnt their own son, Atiku.

Let's see how that will unfold in 2027...

After Peter Obi won those 4 states in the North, did he ever thank them or appreciated them after the elections was over?
Focus on the subject matter and answer the gaddem question... How Did obi focus on SE when in actual fact he won 12 states.. 5 SE and 9 from other region

SmartPolician:
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.
How many governors were involved in Obi's labour party membership and how many governors influenced the elections in states that peter obi won in 2023 within such a short time of preparation? Dey play. It's high time people realised that we don't even need any politician's involvement or influence in the choice of who should lead us. If the masses can speak with one voice, they will defeat any politician-backed candidates.

Obi's case is a proof

If Goodluck Jonathan agrees to contest tomorrow and says he is there for just one final term , everything will turn on its head

Well.... it will be hard.

Peter Obi focuses only in his region. The same mistake Buhari made.

Atiku is a northerner and this is the time for south.

There's no southern top politician that would come out to challenge Tinubu. Except Tinubu wants it that way.

Also, there's absolutely nothing wrong winning the election without opposition.
This is the mistake most of you are making:

2027 isn’t about any region’s turn. Right now, the overwhelming focus of Nigerians especially those crushed under the weight of these disastrous economic policies disguised as reforms is to remove the most wicked, draconian regime in this country’s history.

Woe betide any motherfker who dares say Tinubu should be allowed to finish eight years, or that it’s the South’s turn. That motherfker will be reminded that Tinubu and his gang never let Goodluck Jonathan, a Southerner complete his own eight years

[quote author=Penguin2 post=135122631][/quote]You people kept pushing it down our troth. Obi got 6million vote without a governor bla bla bla.

I want to out the record straight. Obi won the election without any governor or senator and that was why it became easy for you guys to right him out at the state level.
Re: Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by MrSly(m): 10:42pm On Apr 25, 2025
fergie001:
Atiku is already in the forefront of it, driving it. Obi hasn't joined the fray yet.
Good. Let atiku keep driving it. Obi will soon join him, okay.

Meanwhile tell atiku that rotation between north and South is unconstitutional but still we don't want him right now.

How did you even find yourself discussing Nigerian politics but deny yourself facts.

Zoning of presidency is highly observed and can't be overlooked.

Buhari took 8yrs of your life and did nothing. The entire South kept quiet and supported him. Now we have a southerner,, and you are telling me that Zoning doesn't matter?

So that Atiku who's only aim is to be a president will come into power and do absolutely nothing....
Re: Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by opeldavid: 11:13pm On Apr 25, 2025
Even if 100 government defect to APC, it really doesn't matter. Once the people are determined and take a stand to support Peter Obi then it's over.

Obi
Re: Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by Keyin:
Obi’s candidacy alone cannot bring the needed change—unless the North is truly ready to make a bold political statement. If Nigeria misses this second, and perhaps final, opportunity to elect a genuine leader, the consequences will be catastrophic.

By 2028, the nation may witness open markets where human body parts are sold. Kidnap for ransom will become a booming business, and ethnic cleansing may spread like wildfire. The current carnage caused by Yahoo boys will seem like child’s play compared to what lies ahead. A full-scale crisis will engulf the country.

The reason many youths are no longer motivated to work hard is because the system has been rigged—hard work is no longer rewarded, and corruption thrives. The economic hardship caused by Tinubu’s policies has birthed a wave of criminality and bloodshed.

Any move to retain this man for another four years will spell doom for Nigeria.

Beyond leadership, electoral and judicial reforms are urgently needed. As things stand, elections are no longer won solely at the ballot box—declarations are influenced by backdoor dealings and deep pockets. The judiciary, too, has lost the confidence of the people; it can no longer be trusted to deliver justice or protect the will of the electorate. Unless pragmatic measures are taken to fix these institutions, Tinubu’s re-election will only signify “suffering pro max.”

The choice is clear: either we rise and reclaim our nation, or we sit back and watch it crumble beyond repair

I kept telling you all if dem born obi let him come and win Lagos again I'm daring you, obi and all obidient.

Lagosian have learned their lesson they will never make such mistakes in their life again because they thought obi was coming with a Liberal politics not know he was coming with ipob conquest ideology so it will never happen in Lagos and never again in any SW its a promise because we are going to do everything to stop Atiku and Fulani conquest ideology in the South and at the same we will do everything humanly possible to stop obi and ipob conquest in any Southern state. Take this to the bank. We can never have 2 Southern president within time frame of 8 years and the North must wait for their turn in 2031. Take this or leave it.

2027 not too far you go watch plenty movie eyes go turn you.

Tinubu led the coalition that removed his fellow Southerner from office. This is pay back time. Besides, i am a lagosian and i won't vote Tinubu come 2027.

Cc mandax
Am sure you are referring to yourself, cos from the last election apart from wike that had to kill ppl ,most governors lost their states to other political parties in the presidential elections....

Your mumu jagaban lost in both his claimed state n state of origin....

Those governors can even secretly work against their parties during the presidential elections.

Depends... Do you want to just win?
Then pick Atiku

Have an agreement to hand over to South East after 4 years... Then pick A South South Vice
Yes South East can sacrifice that


If you want to win and make a difference

1) north backs Obi to do 4 years

2) north present an educated vibrant liberal candidate preferably someone with good reputation and background in economics
Like Obi's economics. Rest abeg!

Dey play ok. You are a Lagosian and you won't vote for Tinubu, yea that is your choice and right and myself I'm not Lagosian neither from SW but I was born in SW and I will forever support anything SW because SW was the only region that accepted our parents from SE after the civil war and I will forever appreciate that and grateful to their kindness so I'm voting Tinubu again and again I'm not an ingrate SW made my parent and majority of my friends are from SW in a nutshell I love them exceedingly regardless Tinubu policies, seriously I'm not bothered a bit.

Thanks for being a Lagosian and standing against your own people I wish you the very best, however, Tinubu is your president till 2031 take that to bank.
Re: Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by TheFutureIsMale: 4:04pm On Apr 26, 2025
African politics is really a mess. Just imagining the number of Governors and other political Stalwarts who have already cross - carpeted to the APC, in 2025 alone, is mind blowing...worsening, they haven't changed jerseys for the betterment of Nigeria, but to meet their insatiable needs and selfish interests. I keep saying it that there is no democracy in Africa. None. Most of those who have cross - carpeted must have had some premonitions that the APC will snatch power again in 2027. Spits!!!
Re: Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by TheFutureIsMale: 4:16pm On Apr 26, 2025
JASONjnr:
YES.

I am voting for Tinubu.

Last election, I voted for Peter Obi.... but this forthcoming election, my vote and that of my household is for Tinubu...

Any of my family members that won't vote for Tinubu will never get any financial assistance from me again.
So because you voted for Peter Obi in the last elections, you should now vote for Tinubu in the next elections ? Do you cast your votes based on the Aspirant's manifesto, vision, and competence or you do vote based on who your heart tells you to ? It's people like you who have put Nigeria in the irreparable mess it is in, today. No hard feelings..just saying the obvious

Thank you! Thank you so freaking much.

This bullshit retrogressive system of "it's the turn of X" has always been so pathetically useless and infuriating. What happened to actual results and performance? What happened to track records?

This country gets on my freaking nerves man. 🤦🏽
