There is no gain saying that within the ADC coalition group, Peter Obi is the most qualified as the presidential candidate.

I'm a Peter Obi supporter and I wish that he becomes president some day.

However, in an actual presidential contest, Peter Obi would struggle to win Bola Tinubu, not because he cannot actually win, but because there are many institutional, corrupt and sentimental road blocks that are already in place to stop him.

Looking back at the last election, there are 4 top contestants who have strong followership.

- Bola Tinubu: 8.7 million votes
- Atiku Abubakar: 6.9 million votes
- Peter Obi: 6.1 million votes
- Rabiu Kwankwaso: 1.4 million votes

President Tinubu being smart, wants to bring one of the top 4 contestants in the last elections to become his vice. And he doesn't mind to risk losing Shettima and the support of the North East.

President Tinubu is not stupid to make such moves.

All Tinubu wants to do is add Kwankwaso's guaranteed 1.4million votes to his 8.7 million votes, then get his men from the south south to rig him in.

Tinubu + Kwankwaso = 10.1 million votes

If he gets 3 million rigged votes from the South South and 3 million rigged votes from middle belt, including Wike's potential rigging in Abuja, there is nothing stopping him from becoming president again with over 16 million votes.

Now, to the Peter Obi matter.

Is it not common sense for Peter Obi to try to add Atiku Abubakar's 6.4 million votes to his 6.1 million votes?

Atiku + Peter Obi = 12.5 million votes

That is guaranteed votes of over 12 million votes, higher than what Tinubu could get with his alliance with Kwankwaso, plus Atiku's Northern sentiment might help reduce Kwankwaso's influence and stop Tinubu's rigging machinery in the North.

If Peter Obi runs with Atiku, there's every possibility that together, they could get over 15 million votes. That number would be very hard to rig against.

Now, nothing stops Peter Obi from running again as a Presidential candidate. He could partner with an influential figure in the north, such as El-rufai, Bala Mohammed, or even Kwankwaso if he can convince him.

He could even get emotional votes from the South and from those who believe that the South should complete their 8 years tenure.

However, Peter Obi without Atiku makes it very easy for Tinubu and the APC to rig the elections.

Peter Obi (without) Atiku = 6.1 million votes

If the ADC coalition members back Obi and support him with their structure, Obi might perform better than last time, but Tinubu would easily have his way due to the aforementioned institutional roadblocks and the North not viewing Peter Obi as their own.

President Tinubu would find a way to get re-elected.

Peter Obi as presidential candidate would make his Obidient and southern supporters happy, but he wouldn't win. The powers that be would not let him, and he wouldn't have enough of the required firepower to wrestle power from the desperate APC in 2027.

Peter Obi running as presidential candidate would even make the APC happy. They would easily rig him out and tell him to go to court again.

And there is every chance that if Peter Obi wants to run as a presidential candidate, he would have to leave the ADC coalition, which would then give Atiku their ticket, resulting in the same split votes like in the 2023 election.

This is not the time for emotions or sentiments. This is a war, and President Tinubu and his goons like Nyesome Wike know this. That is why they are not giving the opposition any room to thrive. They are attacking and infiltrating the opposition from all angles.

Now, Peter Obi has to make a choice.

A choice to please a few of his emotional supporters and run with the naive narrative of a single-term southern President, which is almost guaranteed to make him lose the elections again.

Or a choice to work with empirical strategies and join those who are battle-tested and ready to wrestle power from the incumbent.

Let's stop deceiving ourselves. No politician is a saint, and Nigeria doesn't need a saint as a president. If the current Nigeria is not what we want, then the priority is to first change the person there, then we start the conversation of how to move forward.

It doesn't matter if the president comes from the North, South, East or West. Nigeria needs a president that is responsive and empathetic to the needs of the populace. Nigeria needs a president that knows that he can be removed if he doesn't perform well.

I'm of the opinion that the current president is not HIM and the best chance of Nigeria getting a new president is a coalition ticket of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.

I drop my pen.

Obi himself already knows this fact which is why he keeps prepping the minds of obidients by saying that they have all agreed to make personal sacrifices. Obi has been part of the coalition talks from day one and he is not naïve. In 2015, Tinubu stooped to conquer, Obi too can. Men lie, women lie but numbers don't lie.

Atiku Obi ticket can't defeat Tinubu. It's not possible. What most of you don't understand is this. Tinubu becoming president didn't happen over night, it took very long years of meticulous planning. Tinubu has planted loyal people in every sectors you can think of very long time before becoming president who give him first hand information about every thing. Is it the cooperate world? Is it the Public sector? Is it grass roots? Is it the civil sector? The economic sector, the security sector or the judiciary? Just name it.

Tinubu is very, very far ahead of all of the others put together. Even Datti, made that remarks with all sincerity.



Atiku is bad market to Northerners, Obi is not even a choice. The North have faith that Tinubu will hand over power to them 2031 but of course not to the likes of Atiku that was why they even voted for Tinubu. They know he is a man of his words. The North will support Tinubu till 2031 in which he will hand over power to them in peace.

Serious minded politicians will take the advantage of merging with Tinubu to get a very bright chance in 2031. With all honesty, as it stands no permutation can work to remove Tinubu.

. There is no permutation that the ADC can use to remove Tinubu. That's the honest truth.

Can Ameachi/El Rufai win? The answer is an obvious NO!

Can El Rufai/ Ameachi win? The Answer is also a NO!

Can Obi/El Rufai win? The answer is another NO!

What about El Rufai/Obi? The answer is still NO!

Do the same with Atiku using Obi and Ameachi. It's all a NO.

Let us all stop deceiving ourselves. Tinubu will be reelected.

Peter Obi don't have the money to spend within the coalition and also he's not loyal. He might not even get the VP ticket self

I just tayaaa for these PDP bandits we are accommodating in ADC why would you want Peter Obi to vice a featherweight like atiku?

So u are still using the permutations n results of 2023 to judge 2027 when many things have changed


No problems

SeeWahala:

Because 2 heads are better than one. Atiku/Obi ticket is better than Obi alone or Atiku alone. 12 million guaranteed votes is better than 6 million votes.

You are an APC supporter and you'll be happy if Obi doesn't run with Atiku. For you, it's better if both split their votes.

I pray obi runs with Atiku or vice versa but I tell u for sure it's just d same ticket that even weak n underperforming Buhari defeated in 2019, Tinubu will beat them silly in 2027

Buhari struggled to beat Atiku/Obi in 2019. Till this day, some even argue that the election was rigged to favor the incumbent.

Plus, Buhari still had that Northern sentiment and clout despite failing expectations.

And you calling Atiku a featherweight is proof that you are either a troll or a naive kid in the matter of politics in Nigeria.

During the ADC coalition launch, Atiku alone was able to pull men of caliber from various political parties that we'll consider big wigs in Nigerian politics today. Many other politicians would struggle to do that.

@Lala.............. pls add up the remaining characters. OK?

You’re correct in your claim concerning Tinubu and Wikes’ remorseless rigging prowess….which at the moment is second to none in Nigeria! But your next argument concerning Atiku and Obi joining their potential votes to defeat Tinubu/APC is based on a flawed premise primarily because of your initial argument concerning Tinubu and Wike! Just know that in any presidential election controlled by Tinubu….or even Buhari before him, votes don’t count! There’s a reason why the assertion rigging with impunity has become a reoccurring feature in recent times in Nigeria when elections are being discussed!

Atiku and obi have settled this matter last year but bid time for the coalition to come onboard. Without the coalition Ameachi and Nasir won't be heard but they too know how far. Atiku Obi will get more votes from the poor masses

What dwindled Atiku's base over the years is his OGA mentality but I guess he had learnt since 2011. No bigger politician in Nigeria right now like him. The North will be locked for him if he should contest. He is already doing the ground work. The South will support Tinubu but I doubt he can out score Atiku Obi in the SE and SS

You are right. There will be massive rigging and disenfranchisement of voters in 2027. That is more reason why Obi doesn't have to do this on his own.

He needs to partner with battle-tested political juggernauts who know the system and can match the antics of the APC. Fire for fire.

If the masses back the Atiku/Obi coalition, the pressure will be too much on the APC and their 'mago mago' will be reduced to the barest minimum.

atiku presidential ticket will give tinubu a lot of sympathy votes, but ADC needs to field a strong vice presidential candidate that can appeal to the north. Although the way it is now, almost anyone with the backing and support of ADC will win the presidency. Nigerians are fed up with Tinubu, but getting the right balance is very crucial.

However, in an actual presidential contest, Peter Obi would struggle to win Bola Tinubu, not because he cannot actually win, but because there are many institutional, corrupt and sentimental road blocks that are already in place to stop him.

Looking back at the last election, there are 4 top contestants who have strong followership.

- Bola Tinubu: 8.7 million votes
- Atiku Abubakar: 6.9 million votes
- Peter Obi: 6.1 million votes
- Rabiu Kwankwaso: 1.4 million votes

President Tinubu being smart, wants to bring one of the top 4 contestants in the last elections to become his vice. And he doesn't mind to risk losing Shettima and the support of the North East.

President Tinubu is not stupid to make such moves.

All Tinubu wants to do is add Kwankwaso's guaranteed 1.4million votes to his 8.7 million votes, then get his men from the south south to rig him in.

Tinubu + Kwankwaso = 10.1 million votes

If he gets 3 million rigged votes from the South South and 3 million rigged votes from middle belt, including Wike's potential rigging in Abuja, there is nothing stopping him from becoming president again with over 16 million votes.

Now, to the Peter Obi matter.

Is it not common sense for Peter Obi to try to add Atiku Abubakar's 6.4 million votes to his 6.1 million votes?

Atiku + Peter Obi = 12.5 million votes

That is guaranteed votes of over 12 million votes, higher than what Tinubu could get with his alliance with Kwankwaso, plus Atiku's Northern sentiment might help reduce Kwankwaso's influence and stop Tinubu's rigging machinery in the North.

If Peter Obi runs with Atiku, there's every possibility that together, they could get over 15 million votes. That number would be very hard to rig against.

Now, nothing stops Peter Obi from running again as a Presidential candidate. He could partner with an influential figure in the north, such as El-rufai, Bala Mohammed, or even Kwankwaso if he can convince him.

He could even get emotional votes from the South and from those who believe that the South should complete their 8 years tenure.

However, Peter Obi without Atiku makes it very easy for Tinubu and the APC to rig the elections.

Peter Obi (without) Atiku = 6.1 million votes

If the ADC coalition members back Obi and support him with their structure, Obi might perform better than last time, but Tinubu would easily have his way due to the aforementioned institutional roadblocks and the North not viewing Peter Obi as their own.

President Tinubu would find a way to get re-elected.

Peter Obi as presidential candidate would make his Obidient and southern supporters happy, but he wouldn't win. The powers that be would not let him, and he wouldn't have enough of the required firepower to wrestle power from the desperate APC in 2027.

Peter Obi running as presidential candidate would even make the APC happy. They would easily rig him out and tell him to go to court again.

And there is every chance that if Peter Obi wants to run as a presidential candidate, he would have to leave the ADC coalition, which would then give Atiku their ticket, resulting in the same split votes like in the 2023 election.

This is not the time for emotions or sentiments. This is a war, and President Tinubu and his goons like Nyesome Wike know this. That is why they are not giving the opposition any room to thrive. They are attacking and infiltrating the opposition from all angles.

Now, Peter Obi has to make a choice.

A choice to please a few of his emotional supporters and run with the naive narrative of a single-term southern President, which is almost guaranteed to make him lose the elections again.

Or a choice to work with empirical strategies and join those who are battle-tested and ready to wrestle power from the incumbent.

Let's stop deceiving ourselves. No politician is a saint, and Nigeria doesn't need a saint as a president. If the current Nigeria is not what we want, then the priority is to first change the person there, then we start the conversation of how to move forward.

It doesn't matter if the president comes from the North, South, East or West. Nigeria needs a president that is responsive and empathetic to the needs of the populace. Nigeria needs a president that knows that he can be removed if he doesn't perform well.

I'm of the opinion that the current president is not HIM and the best chance of Nigeria getting a new president is a coalition ticket of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.

I drop my pen.

All these calculation of yours won't work in 2027, reason why.

There are many young northerner APC and PDP governors, senators angling to become president after Tinubu tenure, and Atiku ambition will prevent that.

Most of those northerners will aligning with the president inorder for them to stand a chance of being candidate in 2031.

Atiku is very old (79 yrs old) and North will not want a repeat of yaradua dilemma, where power will return to the south after a few months.

ExudeLoveToAll:
Corrupt man, Obi doesn't share and buy votes like your cr mi ni nal mentor in authority. Without corruption your mentors empire dies no wonder you guys have wrecked the country
..

Operation show your voters card and get 200 naira

Sir. Your analysis won't work. The dynamics have changed. Things have shifted. Minds have been made up. Therefore your analysis is 99.9% faulty. As an obi supporter myself. I can't wish he deputize Atiku. It's political suicide.

Peter Obi as the concensus presidential candidate of the coalition is non-negotiable

helinues:
Peter Obi don't have the money to spend within the coalition and also he's not loyal. He might not even get the VP ticket self
