If Obi gets the ticket for the coalition then Tinubu should not bother to campaign because he has won second term already. 😂

Obi is not a threat to any serious politician.
Is Obi that small in this life? cheesy

Atiku's selfishness will never allow him submit to a southern candidate.
Also Obi's who is a game spoiler will rather divide votes so Tinubu could win
Babablu bulabu.

Field a Northerner as a presidential candidate,
then a resultant landslide victory for Tinubu in a free and fair election.

AMINDA:
Is that what you people tell yourselves in the Southwest now? Elrufai didn't fail when he galvanised northerners against naira crunch and made them give an unpopular Tinubu 5.6m votes. He's now the devil because he has taken his business elsewhere? I hope Tinubu has a contingency plan in the South to make up for the Northern votes he would lose?

This was a man who couldn't even win his own Southern region. "Winning" only Rivers state in the Southsouth, 4 out of 6 states in Yorubaland and none at all in the Southeast. The North made Tinubu president. A 3-horse race in 2027 would be a disadvantage to Tinubu, unlike in 2023 because Obi would split Southern votes while Tinubu will struggle to replicate his Northern numbers.

Tinubu is now using a combination of money and coercion to force opponents to support him, and he thinks it's sustainable. Case studies, Kano state and the Emirates debacle with the FG interfering in a purely local government affair, declaration of state of emergency in Rivers until Fubara succumbs, withholding of local government funds in Osun until Adeleke capitulates, EFCC hounding Yahaya Bello and then backing off after he "pledges" support. Same as Okowa, destroying all opposition parties through sponsored sabotage. The list goes on and on.

Despite all of these, the majority of the Nigerian people will speak clearly through their ballots in 2027. You can't buy love neither can you copy respect.
Thanks for letting them know. It's befuddling the way same El Rufai who they praised when he stuck out his neck for Tinubu prior to the 2023 election is now the same person they're castigating.

It's fine though, I'm glad people are now seeing the brand of politics those folks play

You don't want tax reforms

You don't want economic reforms

You don't want Dangote Refinery

You don't want PH, Warri, Kaduna refineries

You don't want Lagos-Calabar highway

You hate Sokoto-Badagry express

Even second Niger bridge, you were sad,

Train nko, you kept crying

You don't want improved GDP

What you want is "shambles"

What you want is bad news

All you pray for is bandit, BH and IPOB attacks

All you wish for is for people to die

All you like to hear is "Nigeria has happened to you"

Yet you go to church to pray for a miracle,

You go for Umrah and fast for your personal turnaround,

E no go happen. Sorry!

May PBAT Succeed and Nigeria will be great 🇳🇬❤️
God Bless President Bola Tinubu
Ironically, these are the things you give to them that they are complaining about ....

Who doesn't love good newshuh

All you want is for the masses to keep quiet, and whoever wishes to die should die silently as well without involving your government...

Can you address the problems of this Nation than looking for what you used to win elections that you even did the worst during the time you were opposition...

EponObi:
Atiku can never be a VP again in Nigeria. Obi destroyed Atiku's chance to become president in 2023, why would Atiku now back him to become president?

Amaechi has a better chance of clinching the ticket if they zone to the south. And he will give Tinubu a better run for his money than Obi. The APC already know Obi game - he was a force they didn't see on their blindspot; that wonthaplen again in 2027. The way I see it, Obi will run independently and divide the SS votes again. He will take most of the SE votes, a portion of SS and NC, nothing for him in SW and North.

Amaechi will take a big portion of SS, nothing for him in the SE, SW, and NC, and NW.

Tinubu will clinch most of SW votes, a portion of SS, win NC with landslide, with Buhari's backing in the NW, take most of the NW votes and half or 1/3rd of NE votes.

There's no pathway for victory for opposition. And if they field a southerner self, it's very for APC to demarket him. One, they will tell the Northerners to remember GEJ didn't agree to the one term agreement, and that a new Southern president will spend another 8 years - having a shot at the presidency in 4 year time instead of 8 aligns best with the power brokers in the North.

There's a reason that coalition is yet to gain root more than 6 months after Atiku started talking about it. And if you noticed, Amaechi suddenly came out of nowhere to become the face of the coalition. That's to tell you they've abandoned Obi.

Politics is not noise on social media.
Bra bra bra

This your over hyped tinubu is having hope because we all know that Nigeria election doesn't reflect to people's choice

If votes counts, do you think Tinubu will waste his money to contest?

Even goat can win him with the way he is hated by other tribes.

Only yorubas are hyping and supporting him with governors and party members that gains from him but as for masses, he have no support base.

Normally tinubu supposed to win via the Nigeria type of election unless the oppositions goes for war after he manipulates the results as usual and may be remove him with force. Because once it enter violence, yoruba will back out, forget all these online noise.

many of u don't understand that many factors contributed to that n they are no longer there again

The first one is that obi is the only Christian candidate n Christians fear Muslim Muslim ticket but the fear is gone now

After election u Ibos made it a point of duty to denigrate all tribes in Nigeria that even those who voted obi in the last election weren't spared.

Internal sabotage within APC too n many factors but u lots don't know things have changed

Dey dere dey think say na the same format e go follow again

Hope u know south south people are already preparing for 2027?..

U can see how they are supporting tinubu now, if Tinubu should win in 2027 it's automatic VP ticket for south south in 2031

Where will tinuhu get his votes?
He won just 1 state in the SS (which was actually heavily rigged by Wike)

He won 4 out of 6 SW States

He won 0 in the SE

The north gave Tinibu his victory, and he has turned his back on them.
The little goodwill he enjoyed even among his Yoruba tribe, he has eroded through the suffering he brought upon thr masses.
Let me see if only Yoruba votes will make Tinibu president

It's not hype. It's simply politics wrt to the Nigeria context. The opposition's very one shot to stop him was in 2023.

It's obvious many of u don't even know d constitution or anything about politics but u just want to talk.

So u think Atiku can b VP again constitutionally?

I pity those who argue with u people online
We all learn everyday so stop acting like you know it all.

I'm just passionate about an Igbo being the President of Nigeria, as they've been unlucky in their aspirations since the time of Azikiwe.

I feel sorry for them, being a Yoruba man.

Your correction has been noted and taken through it could have come in a more decent way.

I have said it severally, El-Rufai’s ambition will be the major factor that will scatter the coalition. He’s the one flying the Amaechi/El-Rufai ticket since Peter Obi seems unsure of being a part of the coalition.

How do you sell Obi in the core North over Tinubu?

Which one is better for the core North? Wait till 2031 and rule for 8 years or throw your weight behind Obi that is not sure of winning and wait for another 8 years if he wins?

This is not a good advice for the Northerners!
Do you think northerners are fools?
Obasanjo: 8 years
Jonathan: 6
Tinubu 4

The best for northerners is to support a northern candidate from opposition party,if they are lucky, fine if not wait till 2031
If by mistake we have a southern president from opposition party.. that is another 8 years loading... politicians are greedy and can't be trusted.

Forget too much talk

Do you think he would have won without normal way of Nigeria politics?

He contested with incubent party. APC have the power and their governors are the majority, they delivered for him. INEC chairman, CJN, Army chiefs are all appointed by APC and they are loyal to them.

If we are to go on neutral election, both Obi and Atiku would have scored more vote by far ahead of him.

you people are now seeing what we told you ages ago......the opposition will crumble for the same reason they split in 2023. They are only after their own interests. Atiku is looking to be president, Obi wants to be president, Amaechi is looking to see if he will be put forward as a president or Vp, ElRufai is looking for a scenario where he can be VP. who is going for fund the party, will any existing party allow them to take over their structures and relegate existing members? At the end of the day it will crumble.

That's why this coalition gist is nothing but a joke.

As it stands... Tinubu has no competition in the Nigerian political space. Hard cold fact!


Only United Nigerians across the nation ready to revolt with one voice can stand in his way, come 2027.

core Muslim north and the south west will not vote for him in 2027. It a statement of fact. Yorubas won't because of the toxic nature of igbos towards them. The evil campaign by Obi in 2023 for Christian to take over the country as damaged his reputation in the north. Tinubu will win Christian North massive even if Obi contest.
So the fielding of a Muslim Muslim ticket by TINUBU in 2023 is not evil but a good path huh?

Peter Obi was of the view that a Muslim Muslim ticket in Nigeria has never happened before , therefore Christians bodies should wake up....He never said Christians should take up the country...

You changed the message and used propaganda to get a better part of Northerners....

Today, what is happening in Benuehuh Zamfara, Taraba , Kaduna etc
Your hypocrisy has no boundary line, it travels beyond stupidity.....very Pathetic
