You know you don't want to give Obi the ticket and you're still rubbing it in.

They will hold Obi in ADC until it's too late for him to leave and then muscle him out of getting the ADC ticket.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a spoiler in all honesty. Why won't he step down and be a team player ? 😞
Who should Atiku step down for Obi?
Let Obi be a man and contest in the primaries.

Atiku is not a good politician, he is not intelligent at all. I noticed when he he left Wike to pick Okowa and fail woefully.
He's so selfish and self centred, not liberal at all. A very silent poison.

Atiku should go and rest biko..
He ran from PDP so likes of Wike, Anyanwu et al. won't defeat him, he had to lure Obi to the ADC to tie him down and take over his 0bid.ient mob ahead of 2027.

Why are some Coalition members afraid of contesting a free and fair open primaries with Atiku Abubakar ?

It isn't just about the Dollars he has because they also have dollars to splash out if they decide to...

Their fear is the popularity of the man amongst Northern delegates especially...

And any candidate that can attract a substantial portion of the Northern delegates will eventually win the primaries...

Peter Obi should be careful and wise

He should reject calls from his Obidients camp not to run as VP to Atiku Abubakar...

Without the so called Obidient movement they both secured 12 million+ votes in 2019

If they decide to withdraw their "support" because he is a running mate to Atiku Abubakar this time around, no problem

Both of them will still defeat Jagaban

Atiku Abubakar is a sure path for Peter Obi or any South Easterner to enter Aso Rock.....

They both need each other and should be encouraged to work together.
If the ADC ever makes the mistake of fielding Atiku as their presidential candidate, that is the end of ADC. Tinubu will beat him point and black. There is no way Atiku can beat Tinubu. Giving free and fair election Obi is the only one among them that can beat Tinubu hands down.

The opposition should be fair to Atiku.

Asking Atiku to step down for Peter Obi is undermining to Atiku.

Let Obi fight for the ticket like a man. If he wins the ticket, let him run.

If he feels he cannot compete, let him stay in LP and run there.

The attacks on Atiku are not fair and reflect the modus operandi of the Obidients, a strategy which alientated those initially sympathetic to their principal.

I am not a fan of Atiku, but he worked the most for this coalition than anyone else. Where was Obi when Atiku was doing the ground work? Now food is ready, the Obidients are dictating.

Are the Obidients ready for leadership or they just enjoy the social media noise?
they were the ones that came to look for the obidients not the other way round

u know nothing about politics

Right now in a 2 man race atiku will give tinubu a run for his money

But in a 2 man race of tinubu Vs obi, tinubu will b declared winner before 2pm on election day

The Ibo factor in d north will stop obi
The ipob factor will stop him
The Christian factor will stop him
His holier than thou approach will stop him
North won't wait for another southerner to use 8 years so they won't b out of power for 12 year, they will rather wait for tinubu 4 years than obi 8 years.
Obi can't play dirty like tinubu, obi no get d mind n influence
Obi is a stranded candidate in d north.


With just these few point, tinubu will beat obi silly in a 2 man race.


Check all those things n see how it favours atiku over obi

Atuku Abubakar should be ADC's presidential candidate. I don't usually vote, but comes 2027 anywhere i am, i am voting for him.

Anything to remove the hiiree assaseen in that building is a welcome development. I have lived in Lagos most of my years so i know better.

How can just one person decided to rubbish so many peoples future plans. N5 Million budgeted for Travel Plans before he came on board can hardly buy some country's flight ticket now.

Peter obi should wait for his turn.

The most valuable player can only deputize Atiku Abubakar because Atiku cannot be VP twice...

Peter Obi should learn the ropes of the Presidency from Atiku Abubakar until it gets to his turn

Who dey deceive you.. ?

Atiku Abubakar is no paper weight politician, same goes for Obi...

But the next election is a game of numbers as always...

Tinubu will defeat both of them if they run separately...

Their votes will be divided if they decide to contest alone..

But if they contest on a joint ticket, Tinubu will be defeated...

Every APC strategist knows this that is why they don't want Peter Obi to deputize Atiku Abubakar...

They will do everything possible to discourage Obi from accepting to run as VP candidate.
