Obi is the most popular person in Africa right now, he could be the most popular black man on earth as at today, what a man



To be honest, Adeyanju is correct.


Tinubu has already bought half of the political elites in the South, including those from the Southeast, so it's going to be a North vs South war in 2027. So in order for the so called coalition to defeat Tinubu and his structure of criminality he is busy assembling, it is better to hand the Presidential ticket to a strong Northern candidate like Atiku Abubakar while Peter Obi throw his support for him with his tsunami Obidient Movement and it's over for Baba Sope.


Anything less will be a walkover for Baba Sope.


Obi should not listen to any gaslighting from anybody, there is no shame in restrategizing to win, Tinubu tried severally to deputize even Atiku but got rejected because of Moslem Moslem ticket, so Peter Obi is not too big to run along with Atiku as a running mate, Jeo Biden was once a running mate to Obama.

It's better Tinubu continues if Obi doesn't get it than Atiku to be there

Heffalump:
You're just pouring slimmy saliva onto Obi's matter because of hatred. He is still more popular than any known politician in Nigeria today. Better goan do your research.

Whatever you are smoking must be original

I said this in 2023

If only Obi agreed to deputize Atiku, they would have done 2 years now

A Vice President role may be the short cut to presidency

ukukaegbu:
Deji Adeyanju, Sowore's wife has spoken.

The same man that said Obi can't win a state in 2023 and Obi shocked them.

We know who they are working for. It's in their blood.

Deji is right but still Obi n whoever won't win.

2023 would be Obi's BEST election cos he had the support of Niger Deltans but since his minions( Obedients) have been rodents claiming what isn't theirs via obviously FALSE history etc and wanting to create their state under the guise of ANIOMA state, na sorry be his name.

ArcSEMPECJ:
Remind me his tribe please.....once we have this kind of news where someone will look like they are giving you advice and from the other side are devaluing you, my brother , it can't pass the West side....

The man knows the Assignment he was given and he is playing to the gallery...

The other one that betrayed Obi to run to APC , may his soul rest in peace, which tribe is he as well

Deji Adeyanju spoke the truth and he also said Obi's supporters will not agree with him.


Peter Obi is one of the biggest reasons Tinubu is president today and many of you will still not see it because Obi destroyed Atiku's votes in the south east. As a fan of Tinubu, I pray Obi runs against his principal again in 2027 so that we have a repeat of 2023


Tinubu rode on the back of Obi to be president.

otherway:
Only a delusional person will argue with Deji on this.

Once Obi misses this chance to deputize Atiku, he should forget ever becoming the president.

If he decides to run again without Atiku, he will be easily rigged out again nd by 2031 it will be the northern turn to rule and that marks the end of his dream.

Any obidient arguing this fact is a Comedian.

I am a fan of Tinubu and I love it whenever OBIDIENTS argue and refuse to accept the truth

Deji has no point. If only INEC will change the clause on that corrupted electoral act ( from manual to auto transmission of results) Tinubu has no chance. It's just Nigeria with its corruptible system. Things don't usually go normal.

patomberekpe:
Sometimes when i see these Younger People Like Sowere and Deji who suppose to rally round Peter obi to get Power off these evil old men who use Nigeria as their retirement homes, But because of hate and bigotry have blocked their senses. Well the important thing is 2017 is far and all we need to pray is to see 2025 ending, then 2026 ending before 2027, Ask Onokpesa who just died, before he's death was talking about 2027.

Obi is also among the old and evil men in Nigeria

DMerciful:
Deji Adeyanju said if Obi wins a state in 2023, he'll respect Obi.

Obi won same number of states as Tinubu and Atiku, 12 states each.

Yet, Deji continues to run ma.d!

Una too dey lie.

Show proof Deji Adeyanju made such a statement

The question is, must Atiku rule?

What does it have to offer this great country other than vegiance and old way of doing things?

There must be something very mysterious about this Aso Rock for someone that was a VP for 8 years and stayed there to desperately want to return there, even after losing counts of elections for same seat.

Joshy4u:
Adeyanju is correct. If Atiku can do one term and hand over later to thr South. The North will massively rally around an Atiku mostly the fact that Buhari and his boys are not interested in anything Tinubu in 2027.

As if Buhari and his so called boys were interested in Tinubu in 2023! He won the election when he wasn't in power and now that he has there grip even if no one vote for him the whole sands will rise and vote for him

You'll still argue. So you wanna listen to such a person?

On which political party platform is Obi going to deputize Atiku.

The rising insecurity in the north and generally in the nation may be the greatest undoing of Tinubu. Northerners are very. Easy to convince against a southerner and they are the ones feeling the pain of the insecurity most. If the game turns out to be North vs south then it will be a very close call and even capable of braking the nation.

I am not fan of Atiku neither do I want Obi near the presidency in any shape or form. But the indices on ground now shows Atiku remains the only person who can wrestle power from Tinubu at the moment.


Any other person aside Atiku leading the opposition would be a walk over for Tinubu in 2017

And what is the uses or benefits of pathetic Atiku wrestle power from another dissapointed Tinubu?

Are we not tire of these old men that lack new ideas of how modern society should run?

If we can't find new persons aside these old politicians called themselves oppositions, the best and most viable option left is to let Tinubu continue and see if something tangible can come out of his acclaim reform.

2 in every 5 topics on nairaland is about PO. And he is not even the president yet. Deji Adeyanju still dey hustle daily 2k.

PO is everything that BAT can never be in this life even though he craves it. That's why APC miscreants cannot stop crying over him. Your campaign of hatred and lies are all DOA.

Is that the only criteria for becoming president? Not based on competence but on ability to grab power from tinubu? Nigeria has really destroyed some people's sense of reasoning. We all deserve the leaders we get

Ezewuzie01:
Only dummies don't know that Peter Obi is no longer a force like in 2023 when he rode on the back of religious sentiments and many of his supporters were buoyed by perceived sabotage of Tinubu's campaign by the sitting president through the naira redesign policy. Atiku should not waste his time anymore with that mediocre shape-shifter who was a glorified failure as governor of anambra state.

Continue support for the current government.Enjoy the crumbs you are getting while it last.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.

Cashtivists who benefit from the corrupt system will never want a good system na. They thrive on corruption and won't speak well of anybody that won't tolerate it.

Adeyanju is one of the people that believe Nigeria Presidential election victory solemnly depends on the North which is very wrong. If Atiku and Obi contested together, it's a landslide victory for Tinubu. However, if Obi and kwakanso contested on the same ticket, their chance of winning the election is 65%.

NewDigitalWorld:
A lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju has said that Peter Obi can only get the position of a vice presidential candidate in the 2027 election.

Adeyanju said the only thing the 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party is a VP slot for Atiku Abubakar should the coalition plan pull through.

In a post made on X, Adeyanju noted that almost all the Northern politicians have a strong advantage in the current political situation.

He also noted the Northern politicians are the ones who have what it takes to take over power from President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

On the Obidient Movement, Adeyanju said its members would still find it difficult to read the handwriting on the wall on the happenings within the political space.



https://x.com/adeyanjudeji/status/1932727061300343296?t=YWOR1VlLT6aK0TrOXDlOxg&s=19

Atiku has been at the forefront of the coalition campaign aimed at ousting President Tinubu from power.

A two-time presidential candidate, the former vice has also been working towards building alliances for the coalition plan.

Obi himself knows that his best effort at reaching Aso-Rock 2027 is thru VIP to a northerner.
But his brain-washed political followers called Obidients are now his greatest drawback
He is afraid the cult-followership he built around himself will collapse immediate should he go that route.
And indeed Obi as Vice to Northerner will still lose 2027.
GEJ lost only because he didn't want to use the powers at his disposal to secure a victory.
Tinubu is not GEJ.
This fact is what the likes of Adeyanju have grossly underestimated
