Eriokanmi:You are overestimating Peter Obi’s influence and performance in the 2023 presidential election. Your assertion that Obi actually won the election is not supported by the official results or voting patterns. If you examine the Labour Party’s (LP) votes in the 2023 presidential election, it becomes clear that Obi struggled in many parts of the country, especially in the northern states where voter numbers are high. In fact, there are several states in the North where Obi received fewer than 100,000 votes, which is a clear indication of his limited popularity in that region. This was not a result of rigging; rather, it reflected his actual level of support. While there were some allegations of minor irregularities in the South-West, possibly in favor of Tinubu, Obi’s low vote counts in the North are widely genuine, as he simply was not a popular candidate over there. Obi’s performance was also underwhelming in some parts of the Middle Belt, such as Kogi, Niger, and Kwara states, although he did manage to do relatively well in Plateau, Nasarawa, Benue and FCT. In Kaduna, Obi performed better than expected, despite the influence of figures like El-Rufai, but El-Rufai’s political reach does not extend much beyond Kaduna itself. This suggests that Obi does not need any alliance or support from El-Rufai to win in those places making him unsuitable for vice-presidential slot. An alternative northern politician who could significantly boost Obi’s chances is Kwankwaso, given his strong following in Kano and other parts of the North. However, Kwankwaso is unlikely to agree to play a vice-president role to Obi, and even if such an alliance were to happen, their chances of winning would still be uncertain—essentially a 50/50 proposition. On the other hand, Atiku remains the most formidable northern candidate, having secured over six million votes in 2023. If Atiku and Obi were to combine their support bases, they could present a strong challenge to Tinubu, but the reality is that Obi would likely have to settle for the vice-presidential slot in such an arrangement. Even then, there is no guarantee of victory, as the power of incumbency in Nigeria is very strong and it is historically difficult to unseat a sitting president. Looking ahead to 2027, it is likely that any rigging or electoral manipulation would be even more pronounced in the South-West, where Yoruba voters are expected to remain loyal to Tinubu regardless of his performance. There is also a real risk that opposition voters, particularly Igbos, could face obstacles or even violence in Lagos and other western states, making it difficult for them to win those areas. It is also important to note that, despite criticism of his first term, many people may still vote for Tinubu in 2027. Unlike former President Jonathan, who allowed the will of the people to prevail for the sake of peace, Tinubu will do whatever it takes to retain power, potentially staying in office until 2031. By that time, both Obi and Atiku may have retired from active politics due to age, especially since Obi has hinted that 2027 could be his last presidential contest. Considering all these factors, it is clear that the chances of either Atiku or Obi becoming president are quite slim under the current political circumstances. Peace!

My Dear Kenneth Okonkwo has lost his political bearing, his root and foundation. He should be guided by the consequences of FFK trajectory. This is how FFK played, switching allegiance up and down, left, right and Centre and today he is seeking relevance in international politics. Bar. Ken please watch it very well. Some of your fans are no longer comfortable with your positions. Be wiser please. |

sammiewrite:I honestly don’t understand a thing you just wrote. If you’re going to respond, please be more explicit and coherent. I gave a clear and detailed analysis of the regions that have held power since 1999. If you disagree, then I expected a factual, well-reasoned counterpoint, not this kind of beer-parlor gossip. Let’s raise the level of this conversation. If we’re going to talk about power dynamics and national leadership, then let’s do it with substance, not sentiments. |

Freshtruth:With religious propaganda. Obi will only win all the state in south east if he contest in 2027. Nobody outside east will fall to that again. His tactics now is to keep dishing lies but Reno is there to keep exposing him. Imagine the lies about death in auchi poly. I called my friend who is a lectural there and he said nobody died. That is my senatorial district. |

Obi time as passed. You guys should be strategizing against 2039 presidency and present a non tribal and religion bigot then. |

Kenneth Okonkwo is becoming more erratic than ever before. He supported Peter Obi in 2023 but now that the coalition is in place, and the much needed structure required for Obi to be more acceptable to the larger electorates is in the offing. Alas! Kenneth is subjectively demarketing Obi's candidature. Only if the likes of Atiku can forget about their desperate ambition and allow Obi to fly the coalition's flag, then Tinubu will be like Goodluck Jonathan in 2027. |

sleek214:oga, you guys can only confuse the low minds. The calculations is if Atiku emerges the flag bearer, that becomes and easy sail for Tinubu. Obi's emergence will send Tinubu back to Dourdillion. Forget that your so-called tribalistic northern vote |

givedemwotowoto:If we want Tinubu out, lets do the smart thing. Going by your assertion, Atiku is prime. In the 3 horse race, Atiku defeated Obi and was closest to defeating Tinubu, if not for the neutral votes that Obi won. The North will play a huge role in whoever wins. At least, up to half of the Southerners will not vote for Tinubu. Whoever wins the North will swoop the day. Atiku will comfortably dislodge Tinubu if all the coalition rallies behind him. |

Kenneth, I think your choice of word was wrong. Better,put it that he will successfully rig out a southern candidate whereas a Northern candidate like Atiku will resist his rigging. |

Eriokanmi:I believe you, I don't know why some people from the South will rather allow Atiku a Northerner to dwell in the sharing formula of the South just because of the hatred they have for IGBOS.... Atiku if he is sensible enough should know that he has no chance in the affairs of the SOUTH and trying to force himself is a slap and disrespect to the SOUTH which everyone knows that Nobody of the elite parties from the South dare tries to contest during the time of the NORTH... A Peter Obi / Rufai is possible, both a core Christian and Muslim candidates that will protect the rights of both religions... Both have been trained by their mentors as well in Politics and have rallies round them before gaining massive supports , even made sure that their votes and physical supports showed a massive turn out ... |
