I see a lot of people talking ill of the supposed new found fraternity between Peter Obi and Mallam Nasir Elrufai. This is because of the things Elrufai has said about Peter Obi in the past.

Similarly, in the past two days, I’ve seen throwback of Elrufai’s disparaging remarks make the front page twice here on Nairaland. This is unlike what happens when we post the throwback of Reno Omokri or FFK or Daniel Bwala against Tinubu. Such posts are never moved to front page. That is if they are not deleted. It makes one wonder if Nairaland is truly neutral and unbiased or it has taken a side.

Now, to those criticizing the new found friendship between Elrufai and Obi, I want to remind you of the greatest being to ever exist, Jesus Christ. He is Perfect. He is God. He can see the end from the beginning. But yet, amongst his 12 Apostles, one of them, Mathew, was the head of tax collectors. Another, Judas, was a thief that ended up selling Him for 30 Shekels.

In fact, Jesus’ association with Mathew, the head of the tax collectors, was one of the reasons some Jews vowed He was not the saviour that was coming because the believed that the saviour they were promised will not associate Himself with a character like Mathew who they all see as an oppressor.

But did Jesus’ association with Mathew diminish His divinity? No. Did it diminish His holiness? No. Nothing of Jesus was affected by that association as it also did not derail Him from His purpose on earth which was to save mankind from Original sin.

Make no mistake, this is not me equating Peter Obi to Jesus Christ but just drawing allegory from the most perfect being to ever walk planet earth who we all look up to and try to model our lives after.

In the end, my point is that, while I do not even believe the sincerity of Elrufai and his kins around Obi as I expect them to switch back to default settings in no distant time, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the new found friendship as it will not change who Obi is nor his intentions for Nigeria should he ever get the chance to be Nigeria’s president.

They are already calling El-Rufai a thief sef. E get as e go be with ADC campaign o.

The hypocrisy in this post above stinks sha. The same man that you guys always say is responsible for killing Christians fa.

The Op should have used Boko Haram to describe El-Rufai and then finish his campaign post with El-Rufai as a repentant Boko Haram.


Hmmm .......the hatred for Tinubu don blind some people conscience patapata.

But Reno called TINUBU a drug lord and you did nothing.

Omo u guys should stop deceiving yourselves. The only ticket that might defeat tinubu in 2027 is atiku/obi ticket. Any other ticket na walkover for APC.

Emotions don't win elections but a good strategy does so. Why do you think tinubu ran a muslim/muslim ticket in 2023?

Ok if obi is given the ticket, how many northerners will vote for him? He will be an unpopular candidate in the north giving APC an edge.

He called him so but couldn't proof his allegation. That's the difference.

How do they employ you guys sef. ?

Can't make sense of the nonsense you wrote.

Thanks for pointing to the typographic error. But you can do better in comprehension and understanding though.

Fade comot for my front. Na so una dey support nonsense everytime.

If Jesus could forgive Judas Iscariot, then surely we mere mortals should be able to forgive those who trespass against us. Brother Nasiru El-Rufai has been forgiven, and his sins have been washed away.

You should be able to forgive Tinubu also nah abi?

No o. that one is knee deep in sin as we speak. In fact, Tinubu can never repent, therefore, unforgivable.

Obi and el rufai are same same now,both are religion bigot.

I made a simple allegory and referred to two biblical characters; one a tax collector and another a thief.

Where in my writeup did I refer to Elrufai as a thief?

So, you believe Obi can get the south to vote Atiku if he is Atiku’s running mate even though Atiku is not popular in the south due to zoning considerations.

But you don’t believe Elrufai can get the north to vote Obi?

That’s your reasoning abi?

He can't be both. So the choice was mine. Mind you being a thief is better than being one who you accuse of killing your fellowing Christians with joy.😂

Technically, Obi and Obidents have no stand, no conviction, the moment you are in their camp, you are the best with the interest of the masses at heart, the moment you are not in their camp, you are an enemy of humanity.

The reason post about Obi and El-Rufai makes front page is that fact that u all sell Obi on the pedestal of "he's different", "he's not the average Nigerian politician", "he won't soil himself" and all the make believe stuffs you all sell.
Reality now is that Obi is just the average Nigerian politician using u lots as a means to his end.

You all are pained now because he's exposed for what he is.

No! Tinubu's sin is a cardinal one. He is knowingly and actively sinning against Nigerians. He would have been forgiven, but because he is a Muslim and therefore outside the New Covenant of Jesus Christ, he is beyond the reach of God's mercy.

But murder is cardinal sin and according to obidenses, hell-rufai is a murderer, ain't it? Double standard

Where is his indictment for murder?. Please show us.

But obidenses accused him nonetheless, yeah?

3 chars remaining.

Penguin2, mention just one state in the north west and north east that an Obi/El-Rufai ticket will win. Again, explain to me how Obi will defeat Atiku at the ADC primary election.

see God's personal assistant

So el rufai is a Christian right?

The religion stunt you pulled in 2023 which never worked, why the repeat of it towards the 2027 election?

Hahaha

The issue is that, if indeed these guys are criminals, why has the Tinubu's government not put them in jail?

We're building bridges. Bridges.

I’m going to start with your last question and tell you that if the coalition is not going to make Peter Obi their consensus candidate, Peter Obi will not go into any primaries with an Atiku.

Like Datti asked, what sort of primaries will an Amaechi do with an Atiku? Admittedly, Atiku has the network and money to win the primaries. The question is, away from the primaries, can he win the election?

And about the north, an Obi/Elrufai ticket can win majority of the core northern states if they are serious with their support for Obi.

Or tell me why the core northern voters would still choose Tinubu over Obi after the hunger he has put them through since he came into power.

Is not about what i believe, but looking at the bigger picture.

Obi is very popular in the south especially se and ss. He will win se conveniently. But do u know only kano votes can cover whatever is loss in the se for APC. Meaning APC can use only kano and counter the entire se.

Abi you think tinubu trying to court kwankwaso is because he likes kwankwaso abi.

The painful truth is whether we admit it or not, the north have the numbers. Ignore them and OYO is your name.

Which yeye votes can elrufai bring? He isn't as popular as Atiku in the north. Besides the northerners will be very foolish to vote for Obi that might end up doing another 8yrs instead of waiting for tinubu to complete his remaining 4yrs. You guys should always think abeg!

Any good political analyst will tell you Atiku is the only person that will give tinubu a run for his money. The Oldman has the spread, the financial pocket and the experience.

Besides I know tinubu is a smart politician, so defeating him won't be easy even for the coalition
