ivandragon:
Obi needs to understand that to put Nigeria on the track of 'working', the present disaster at the centre must be voted out.

So, if Obi truly has the interests of Nigerians at heart, he needs to join hands with Atiku and others in the opposition so as to present a formidable force to remove bat.

Anything less will be an exercise in futility.
It shows your morbid hatred for Tinubu.


The same atiku you demonize profusely.

The same atiku obi stylishly referred to as one of the criminal elements in pdp.


The same El-rufai you lot called religious bigot and terrorist financier grin grin

The same El-rufai most of you were jubilating when he was not confirmed as minister by the Senate...

Now, suddenly, you want your hero to join forces with them.

Can you explain what has changed grin

Can you imagine: a while 8 years he couldn't build a school in the state he giverned yet he and his kinsmen (in their psychosis) think he's the best thing after akara to take nigeria to the promise land.
cool
The only investment the agulu fraud has (hero beer) is next to nothing - Soludo


No school built
No housing estate built
No road constructed
No institution built
Government house was not renovated
No agricultural investment


-----ONLY HERO BEER 🍺 -----++


Then he ran to Abuja to build next cash and carry and spear-headed importation of goods into the country...


Then in 2023, he suddenly started shouting from consumption to production

No be juju be dat cheesy grin angry

grin grin cheesy


He cannot stay in the Dubai he has built in anambra, but decided to live in Tinubu Lagos...the Lagos the Jagaban built and ensure that subsequent successors continue to build.

No be lamba be dat
grin grin grin

Whether you like it or not (they can hit their head on wall, anyways), Tinubu built modern Lagos:

He created the free trade zone
He started the eko Atlantic city
He created all of the Lagos institutions like lastma, lawma, lastma, lamata, etc
He developed the blue print used by successive governors.
He mentored and built other leaders, numerous to count.

He does not have to be given 10..10 million to nursing schools and others to show sudden fake love to anybody.

He is Jagaban...his mentees are working for him.

Atiku Obi ticket will remove Tinubu.

No level of rigging will save him. Even Tinubu knows this.

Just that obidients and OBi himself are delusional.
When political power is not totally within Tinubu reach none of those you mentioned removes him so now that every political power is now under his feet who is that person or group of people who want to remove him
Bro let’s face reality Obi and Atiku are light weight politicians compared to Tinubu and remember Tinubu never lose an election and he’s not starting now

Apart from Obi, most of these people in the coalition brought us here when they decamped to APC in 2014.

Obi as the presidential candidate of the coalition is non-negotiable. If Obi defeated Tinubu in 2023 but couldn't defend his votes, thats why the coalition is needed. Obi does not have a winning problem
ivandragon:
For many reasons, obi cannot defeat bat. That is the simple truth and reality.

If it was ok for apc to support a disaster in 2015, then let the opposition bring another disaster that will kick out the present evil.

When Nigerians start voting different parties back to back due to non-performance, the political class will sit up.

What Nigeria needs is strong institutions and not strong men.

If no one can remove bat, why are you bothered?

Keep sleeping since you are so confident in the incompetent bat.
I have never bothered about Tinubu losing an election because he has never lost one rather I am bothered about Obi and Atiku wasting their time and resources again

I repeat none of those light weight politicians can unseat BAT
Re: I’m Not Desperate To Be President, I Just Want Nigeria To Work - Peter Obi by bigiyaro(m): 2:55pm On May 25, 2025
Nigeria will never work except, it is recalibrated and restructured, with regional resources control, no aboki owning an oil well belonging to Niger delta people nor a Yoruba man looting the whole country under the one Nigeria false narrative.

Obi actually had a better chance in 2023 than he would have in 2027 if he is the face of the main opposition.

Well, good luck to Nigerians if obi puts his interests above rescuing Nigeria.

He has Nigerians at heart just the way he had Anambra people at heart but used their money to invest in personal ogogoro business and also increased Anambra poverty index, yet refused to pay health workers salary for almost 1 year leaving them on strike actions when people were dying

Let him become a senator first in Anambra and show improvement then can become president later

Kindly take your cantankerous self to where your fellow troglodytes are basking in incompetence.

Bat said a lot of trash against buhari and what happened later?

What changed that BAT supported buhari in 2015? All these your reverse psychology cannot work.

Good luck to obi on that, that is his headache.

The headache of Nigerians today is the incompetent bat that has worsened the socio-economic conditions of over 150m Nigerians.

If you know Politicians, you wont even take there words to heart talkless of taking a politician wife word to the bank, even if GEj had said no himself it means nothing never trust politicians word

As much i am thinking Jonathan, i want someone that can counter why GEJ cant win Tinubu in the south region


Tinubu master plan for 2027 is to lockdown South, SW & SS atleast ... jonathan reach abi e no reach
You should direct that question to mama peace. She has said GEJ is not contesting and she loves bat and his wife.

GEJ himself has kept quiet. So direct your questions and thinking to the appropriate quarters. Nigerians will support those who present themselves for office.

So Peter Obi was not rigged our in 2023 again?? You know the truth that he came third yet your confusion is confusing that he needs joint ticket to win bat right grin
I will give you a pass on your obtuse reasoning because it is easy to confuse yourself that others share the same daft views as yourself.

Bottom line is that the incompetent bat needs to be shown the way out in 2027.

Peter Obi came to implement Igbo Biafra Agenda.

I fear his government.

I am comfortable with a northern government than Peter Obi as President of Nigeria.

Many Pro Biafra Igbo group are requesting that Anioma area be merged to the south east states.

This is a disturbing regional realignment.
And why are you people desperate to be with Igbos in one country? If Igbos want to go their way as Biafra, it is you people that should be happy to see them go

if you say the constitution does not oppose obi becoming president, why should the opinion of the SE be a problem for you?

did their opinion prevent you from making a political decision as you deem fit?

what and what comprises "the rest of the country"?

how do you know what they see or dont see?
Hmm, wọn dé!

Back to back to back questioning, who say you tìre, na rest you dey rest kẹ.

Okay. That’s why you travel all round the world demarketing your region because you cannot demarket Nigeria with your bitterness.

You want Nigeria to work, yet you went from Church to Church saying that Christians should take back their country and went as far as calling your YES DADDY Bishop to help you start religious war.

You will never ever rule Nigeria
Nigeria is and will always remain backward because sadly, people like you are in the majority. You prefer darkness to light just because you derive benefit from it.

As far as I'm concerned, if he refuses to team up as a vice to Atiku, he should not waste his time cos he will be massively rigged out again and more easily this time. And he may never ever become the president cos the North will have it for another 8 years.

With a merger with Atiku he has a better chance to be the president even if Atiku serves two term.

Politics is not gragra or sentiments.

If truly you are not desperate to be the president but to make Nigeria work then be a vice to Atiku and stop disturbing us.
grin keep hiding under the illusion of being “rigged” just as he was rigged in SE where he got over 100% vote but because he was rejected in other region you clowns claimed he was rigged angry

You voted your man based on tribalism but you think others too don’t have the same right to do the same? Make Una Dey play, the Islamisation propaganda he used to sway votes in other regions where he got vote from Christian population won’t be there this time grin

So you can cry rigging all you want if it helps you sleep better, but there is no way in hell bitter obi would have won that election without votes from the northern and Sw region which as the majority voting strength and everyone who is not biased know he performed poorly there grin

i love that you are thinking differently, moving forward do you have any "formidable" candidate in mind

Mine is Jonathan, not because he is the best But because he unticks every box Tinubu is banking to get re elected
Atiku and obi ticket will remove tinubu even before the day of election.

Atiku and obi had over 13million votes in the last election while tinubu had a falsified votes of just about 7million.

Tinubu has failed woefully in this first term which will even make it far easier to be voted out.

If OBi knows what is good for him he should team up witt Atiku or not bother contesting at all.
Re: I’m Not Desperate To Be President, I Just Want Nigeria To Work - Peter Obi by DMerciful(m): 4:05pm On May 25, 2025
Obi need just about 8% of Nigeria population to win. Nigerians cannot muster this number regardless of what APC does?
ivandragon:
Yes.

But there must be a vehicle for that to happen.

They won't remove him, they will just run him closer than if they appeared individually.

Atiku is not liked in North West and Central, he has blocked the path of some of their politicians wit his repeated candidature. Obidients have destroyed Peter Obi in the South South with their lack of decorum.

Atiku and Obi would not get that 6 million combined this time round.
