I'm also open to guidance or clarification.

But isn't there a similarity between Wike, who is in the PDP but serving as a minister in an APC-led government without contesting any office under APC, and the following situations:

1. Atiku, a PDP member, reportedly seeking the presidency under ADC.


2. Peter Obi, from LP, allegedly aiming for the presidency under ADC.


3. Aregbesola, an APC member, being referred to as a National Leader of ADC.


4. David Mark, a PDP member, currently serving as the Interim National Chairman of ADC.



Why aren’t these cases being called out as anti-party activities? Why is Wike's situation treated differently?

Atiku Demonical Northern Coalition To Grab Power From The South Now In Limbo.

At this point, I will advise Atiku to go for Mikel Obi, after all Obi is still Obi! shocked shocked

Anyway, all the politicians planning to take positions in so called ADC will now know that the party goes nowhere...It is all about Atiku and nothing more!
Thankfully for 200 million Nigerians, Asiwaju Poverty Coalition, APC to grab power from the south in 2015 did not go into limbo.

That is why for the past 10 years we have been enjoying the change promised by ebilokan when he packaged his clulessly expired northerner as APC change messiah to replace northener Jonathan after just one term.

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

Should we not pity 200 million Nigerians who will endure four more years of APC shege due to the divsion of PDP votes like it happened in 2023 after Wike got rid of Obi and pushed him into communist labourers' LP camp?

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

Because ADC is a coalition party of various existing entities, but APC is not a coalition party anymore.

I don't know who will be the Presidential flag bearer of the coalition party come 2027, but whoever emerges the flag bearer of the coalition party, we will support that person with our full chest and that person will beat Bola Tinubu come 2027.


Whatever rigging plans the APC and Tinubu have in mind will come to nothing; affliction will never rise a second time in Nigeria. This Tinubu calamity must pass us by come 2027.


Nigeria cannot afford to have Tinubu continue as President after May 2027.


Tinubu have nothing to offer except tribal division of Nigeria, nothing more, nothing less. The more he remains in office, the more Nigeria is divided along ethnic divide and it's sad, Tinubu must go angry
I suggest you to be our candidate or you don't see yourself as a worthy candidate because we want you to save our country.

Fuuuuuuuuuuus.

If Atiku gets the presidential ticket of the coalition and Peter Obi leaves to contest on another platform, I see Atiku winning the presidency because Obi will certainly divide Tinubu's votes in the south. Tinubu's chances in the north are already dead on arrival except he rigs it so fantastically well. Outside that, Atiku will have a field day in the north, especially with the common hatred the north now has for Tinubu
Atiku can never win the north convincingly

He will be VP, just watch on.
But wait o, Atiku may take style win o if Obi contest under LP and Atiku becomes only Northern candidate in the election. Tinubu and Obi may share Southern votes and Atiku gets massive votes in the North and sizable in SW and SS bcs of other coalition members like Aregbesola, Dele Momodu and Ameachi, etc especially if Ameachi is the VP.
Atiku can't get massive votes up North

The fact that you think what Obi said is "prideful" shows that you might not be fully compos mentis.

So you plan to opt out of the coalition, because you right hand man already said not enough money to spend on delegates. It is better you and Oga Atiku give a try, no way you can get the Northern vote alone ...Good thing you have Oga El Rufia in your fold, he is still well respected among his Fulani Brothers ...

Atiku should play the role of an elder statesman, ask his supporters to support Obi, if all your ambition is to just sit on the presidential chair, he can ask his photographers to use AI and generate an image with him sitting on one clearly he has nothing to offer.

He don change mouth .

PO will contest together with Atiku and pool their votes together.
