If none of these are heavyweights, then no true heavyweights in Nigeria because no Nigerian politician is without the baggages these ones have.

Nigerian saviors can't come from the culture that raised all current politicians

The solution to the confusion of Atiku-Obi is for Atiku to be a ceremonial president while Vice President Obi runs the government. Any other thing is Apc till 2031.

Don’t mind my fellow Obidients rants. Once they see Obi’s name there as Vice, they will definitely vote there because that name alone is like a christian seeing Jesus name on a ticket: He has no choice but to vote there.

When ex-governors, ex-ministers, and ex-candidates crowd under one roof, it’s never just strategy, it’s a cocktail of ambition, grudges, and clashing egos. They’re not just uniting to win, they’re each hoping to lead. Welcome to ADC’s high-stakes coalition, 25 political heavyweights, one crowded throne.

Dele Momodu is heavy only because he eats too much.He has no electoral value.

abysirius:
The only surprise ADC can pull is to have Obi as their flag bearer and Atiku as his vice, and the chances of that happening is super slim. Again, APC know this is a possibility and are fully ready for that.

It's not possible! Obi is Atiku boy! Atiku brought him to limelight. It's impossible for Atiku to call his former boy "sir". It's either Atiku steps down or he leads. If he loose the primary he will have to step down for someone to be VP.
Also, the constitution doesn't allow someone to hold a particular position more than two times

Antoeni:
Tinubu Fit Don Dey Plan to Use EFCC & ICPC to Arrest All Them.

arrest those who are inconsequential? You people over rate all these politicians too much, No wonder dem dey always dey ride una. Just imagine, person like Dino Melaye, say he wan send Tinubu back to bourdilon, and people dey clap for am. Dino wen small Ododo beat like small pikin wan send Tinubu back to Lagos and some children are jubilating because that is what dey want to hear.

The same set of politicians. Nothing new here. Just recycling parties

You can say the impeachment was reversed, but he was impeached.

If you are not old enough, ask those who were old enough in 2006.

I repeat, Peter Obi was never impeached!!!

He saw out every single day of his eight year tenure in office.

In case you don't know how to address someone.

Writing "Peter Obi Impeached" like you want to change history.

Peter Gregory Onwuabasi Obi, 2time governor of Anambra state, Vice Presidential candidate of the PDP in 2019, Presidential candidate of the LP in 2023, and leader of the main opposition block (the Obidients) in Nigeria.

That's how to address someone of his political status. Not one "impeached" mumbo jumbo you pulled out of your rectum.

StormpyBee:
Obi is the only heavy weight I see there.

The guy is a political party himself.

The lamba master is the lightest weight of all.

If in doubt, ask his Fidelity Bank boy who kicked him out of APGA and made him a homeless IDP politician before Atiku rescued him in 2019.

newsbook:
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.

Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.

Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.

Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.

But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.

He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.

Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.

These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.

The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.

On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.

The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.

A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.

Racoon:
These are not the real heavy weights. The distraughted and beleaguered Nigerians are the ones going to fight against this present government of oppression, suppression and retrogression. Fingers crossed!

are you talking about the real Nigerians in Delta State and Akwa Ibom State that just moved to APC, or the same real Nigerians that voted for APC in their last election. Una like to dey deceive una self.

Happy blocking to you.

What fresh set of politicians have you been working with and investing in for them to be viable alternatives to the recycling parties? Or who else do you want to be in charge of your local, state and federal government positions in the legislative and executive branches?

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

― Bertolt Brecht

25 🟤Oserheimen Osunbor: Another quiet man. He became a victim of PDP rigging machinery and has struggled for political relevance since.

Have you landed, I don't even want to go into all the long Epistles you listed above but on number 5. Amaechi hasn't refuted the claims of his wife collecting #4b monthly.
Pls has Tinubu refuted the claims of he's a drug peddler, his being in a school that was formed after he left and his place of origin and the rest that Reno your new darling said about him in the past.
Or should we start talking about Orji Uzor Kalu, Akpabio, Bello, Wike and the rest their past that are now dinning and wining with Tinubu. Just say the truth, the coalition is giving you guys serious headache

Goodluck Jonathan, Babangida, Otti and Odogwu himself are not there.

The list is incomplete

Only obi and atiku I see...those guys can effectively lockdown their states but all others mentioned are lightweights.....I was in suswans home town of anyii in benue state and the feedback about him from his kinsmen was nothing short of disappointing.....you now have alia,akume,Ortom,gemade though very flippant and can't be relied upon,members of state assembly and nass together with LG leaders ....these are the structures you need to be president and you need to keep them well oiled rather than depending on one man.

El rufai also comes close but he will be taken care of accordingly,aregbe cannot single handedly take on the APC structure in his state except with the help of the pdp....

ADC or whatever they call themselves. Honestly, I got no qualms with any opposition political party as long has its people oriented. But how come people aren't asking one of the most important question: They should be asked what they would do with subsidy if they get elected.

BabaCommander:
Buhari and Sheittima are full members already, so why are their names not on the list

Let APC finish their primaries first, that time you go see mass exodus to ADC. No be Nigerian politicians.

Many are at the fence for now

Malu, good morning.

Please refrain from engaging me so I do not block you.

They are all former this, former that. Therefore, i can't see anything they can change.

kolente:
One good turn deserves another, let the North who controls the ADC step down for PO.

Then the entire south will support your candidate in 2031, God keeping us alive.

The South East of Nigeria has been short changed since 1966 ,asides that a PO Presidency would be a unifier.

The two most desperate politicians to be President in Nigerian history are 1, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu & 2, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

PBAT bodly told the entire world that the Presidency of a country of 200m people is his turn !

Atiku has notoriously been contesting since SDP days in 1992.

One is lucky to have assumed the Presidency the other one will only be lucky through a nominee.

Atiku needs strategic advisors.

Atiku knows nothing about playing Nigerian kind of politics to win an election. He should stop wasting his money and go back to his village to enjoy whatever is left of his money till God calls him.

Please op correct Peter Obi's previous offices.

Peter Obi (ex Governor, Ex Vice Presidential aspirant, 2023 Presidential election winner (robbed) ) thank you

Kinoike:
They are all former this, former that. Therefore, i can't see anything they can change.

They will change Bola Tinubu the calamitous President and his APC the criminal party that destroyed the little left of Nigeria

A coalition of dishonorable honorables, disgruntled elements united only for their demented view of removing Tinubu. They have nothing to do with improving Nigeria as a nation and Nigerians as a people.

These people are criminals, looters and corruption incorporated. In a sane climate, most of them would have been jailed or killed or even committed suicide for disgracing and desecrating their family name, but they have no shame.

Their followers are just like them, shameless set of people.

Coalition or no Coalition only God knows tomorrow but why all this ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex leader

You got it.

They all have one thing in common: they've lost access to the resources meant for all Nigerians but kept under their umbrella.

Remember, Amaechi hasn't replied Wike on the #4b per month paid his wife for one year.

Meanwhile, Amaechi doesn't like money.

By January, they'll run out of Nigeria by themselves when the tax laws will go into operations.

They're all bundles of illiterates. They don't even know what is looming ahead of them.

He is saying that all should support Obi.
Any person aside Obi will make the coalition meaningless.
Obi is one man party,like by the northerners, easterners,westerners and southerners.
We can't pretend that it is not the truth.

U are absolutely right, Obi is one man party and mopol, but remember this is naija we are all talking about and d major ting right now is how to make sure that Tinubu leaves Aso rock at all means and Obi's type of politics is not raw politics.
Emotion aside, d only way to remove tinubu is Atiku/Obi. I would hv loved to see Obi at d helm of affairs of Nigeria, atleast mak we see whether na en bi d change we dey wait for or anoda politician with talk talk. We need rugged and brutal man to match tinubu and Alhaji is d man that can fight tinubu tooth and nail.

Obidients have forgiven all these politicians their sins because of Tinubu hatred. Obidients will claim they want better Nigeria, but will go backward to recycle many more corrupt politicians so far they can attempt removing Tinubus. Hatred of Tinubu from obidients has blindfolded and rob them off seeking moral solutions and integrity for better Nigeria. El-rufai and cos are now best friends of obidients just because they want Tinubu removed; not knowing Tinubu remains their president till 2031

You are not even sure about Obi capability to be the change we are looking for. You want to put Nigerians in trial and error mode, right? You want to make Obi a liar again Infront of Nigerians. How many times do you want obi to repeat himself after he said he will never deputize anybody in the coalition, but you still want him to deputize Atiku, right? Stop wasting your energy and your sacred time on another futility loading, Tinubu remains your president till 2031.

1 current governor is worth all 25.

Governors have direct access to other peoples money they can waste on politics .

To be honest, this is nothing but a modern joke. Only the following in my opinion are somewhat heavy:

- Atiku
- Aregbesola
- Lamido
