Ok na. He has already captured the South, now it's time to bribe the north with Juicy appointments
Obi case has been settled since Obi met with him in Rome in respect of Fidelity Bank that's why Obi came out yesterday to say he will contest in 2027, in other to reduce votes from Atiku. From the way things are going presently, Nigerians should just wait till 2031 and chose among, Kwankwanso, Shettima and a host of Northern candidates that will come up Except Obidients borrow sense and think.... Obidients will be the deciding factor in the next election, it's either they waste their votes on Obi Or they push Tinubu out by voting for Atiku

Tinubu is the first president to ever cage the whole country and control it after he's out power.
