obi presidency candidacy is one of the easiest ride for Tinubu presidency


obi will just be the defender of Tinubu to divide Atiku votes. Buhari nonchalant attitude in 2023 and cabal pushing Atiku made obi feel he has street credibility


just look at it if not for Buhari how will Tinubu lose Lagos state to obi? the endsars waspart of the game to weaken his ambition


only God can stop Tinubu reelection as the game level now

Ok na. I thought they said everyone is defecting to ADC? I laugh in French
Ca va?

Do you really care about Good governance or just Politics?

The SS are in pole position to produce the next VP in 2031 after Tinubu's tenure. They're being strategic, meticulous and calculated devoid of unnecessary sentiments and unreasonable bandwagon. No one can deny their VP slot, it's been sealed and delivered.


-Kiss the truth!

Ofunaofu:
There's nothing like Southern solidarity.
It cannot be found anywhere.


South south of Nigeria will remind those chanting this new slogan: where was that solidarity when Tinubu, a southerner and his allies connived with others to deny Southern Nigeria the chance to have an unbroken eight-year tenure in 2015?

hope u know the same Jonathan u want to die on top went to do condolence with Buhari?

Same Jonathan that his wife said he will campaign for Tinubu?

U people are using Jonathan as a contact of hate to hate people but same Jonathan has moved on with the people u are hating

ADC is a trap Obi should never have entered! Heads or tails, he loses. Let me break it down a bit: if he chooses to stay, he will never get the party's ticket; and if he decides to leave, it could signal the end of his political career. You can't keep jumping from one party to another in search of a presidential ticket—it shows you're only self-centered.

It was Northern turn then

Obasanjo spent eight years, Yaradua don't spend 4yrs.

It was the North turn.

That is our plan and wr will execute it clearly and clean. SS for vp in 2031 we have decided to throw all our weight behind SS for the position and we will make it to happen.

This isn’t about Jonathan the man, it’s about what Tinubu and his gang did to the entire Southern region in 2015. When it was time for the South to complete a fair 8-year term, Tinubu sold out, handing power to the North just to feed his own ambition. Where was your “Southern solidarity” then?

Now that it’s convenient, you’re all preaching unity and dragging Jonathan into it as a smokescreen. Be serious. The same man you used as a ladder to climb is now your scapegoat?

Southern Nigeria isn’t stupid, and south south haven't forgotten. Don’t try to rewrite history just because your side is now feeling the heat. Karma is real and it’s serving receipts.

Hahaha!

You’re just funny, bro.

Listen, come 2027, it won’t be anybody’s turn; it’ll be Nigeria’s turn.

Shameless Politicians who don't have any ideological principle or stand. You will continue to jump from pillar to post! Ho e de go for una now?

Are you referring to the people in the coalition that you have been celebrating or you're simply talking out of pains?

AMINDA:
All these defections have failed to give APC the much needed momentum. Everywhere you go, it's all about coalition. Hence why Kwankwaso and even Adeleke are still dragging their feet.

You can continue to deceive yourself, nobody is going to stop you. If you could call the defection of politically expired politicians like oyegun, babachir and one inconsequential politician from kebbi state, a political milestones for Adc. Those politicians that can't even guarantee their respective polling units let alone three or four local government areas. What are they bringing to the table of Adc? Even Atiku knows better than most of you. And you called the defection of a whole state governor to APC as lacking momentum. Well, I don't need to argue with you. When 2027 election comes and Tinubu is announced the winner that is when you will recall that Tinubu has won 2027 presidential election in 2025.

The governors are leaving but the people know the party they will be voting for in 2027. My only take is that they should allow the votes of Nigerians to count in 2027 so that the governors of the South South and the likes of Akpabio would have a rude awakening.

Why should the SS produce the VP what happens to SE? What happens to people like Bianca Ojukwu or David umeh, soludo? Let be fair they deserve it SS has been president and vp so let SE be Vp.

The main reason why Tinubu lost Lagos by just 8000 votes mainly because of the Muslim Muslim ticket cacophony. That will not be a major issue next time. 0bi cannot win Lagos again. The churches encouraged lot their flock to vote for Obi. A lot
of the Yoruba Christians that voted for Obi have now opened their eyes to the real tribal agenda. The Yoruba but have learned their lessons.

Penguin2:
Shit is becoming a joke at this juncture.

But, like Solomon Dalung said, even if all 36 governors defect to APC, Tinubu will still be smoked out of Aso Rock in 2027.

Una go cry in 2031. By that tune make una no shout INEC

The way u guys say these things is becoming repulsive.

All you guys care about is sharing formula. How is VP coming from the SS going to improve the life of the common man in the region?

Now the real unannounced coalition is APCPDP vs disgruntled PDP and failed politicians in the name of ADC.

Going forward Obidients will split into 2 the Obi4Atiku group and the Obi4President group.

Now it is clear that 2term is sure for Tinubu

zero8zero:
If e no pain you, why are you crying more than the bereaved?. Why una dey cry more than Patience, GEJ or the Ijaw people?. You even forgot that Bayelsa people overwhelmingly voted for David Lyon under APC and GEJ publicly supported him and voted for him, If not for the court that overturned his victory and gave it to Diri at the last minute because of the error of his deputy.
There's only a particular people that are still pained about it and we sabi dem.

Tinubu till 2031.
Then North
Then South South
Then North
Then South West
Then North
...

zero8zero:
That's the slogan for 2027 - Southern Solidarity.

God bless President Tinubu, God bless Nigeria.

Did tinubu support southern solidarity, when he joined forces with the North to oust his southern brother and ijaw man?

Ofunaofu:
If reducing every critical opinion to "IPOB" is your only political argument, it's no wonder the bar keeps getting lower. Lazy labeling doesn't erase history.

Let me remind you: in 2015, Tinubu, the “southerner” you're now praising was at the forefront of the alliance that cut short the South’s chance at an unbroken eight-year presidency. That’s not solidarity; that’s sabotage.

As for Patience Jonathan, politic al endorsements are not DNA tests for loyalty. She's entitled to her decision just like millions of other Southerners are entitled to theirs. You don’t have to be “more GEJ than her” to recognize betrayal when you see it.

Educate yourself before trying to school others. Nigeria’s politics isn't driven by blind fandom or at least, it shouldn't be.

Like we can see, the SS are stategising for VP slot in 2031 and for the president in 2039 but the SE are ganging up for Tinubu defeat in 2027, now you ask, how does Tinubu defeat translate to a win for the SE?

This is a question a reasonable SE person should ask himself

Make those Buhari is a clone people dey 👀 look carry Obi for head, dey form opposition, South South go carry vp again in 2031.

Now, now—let’s not pretend this was some great political mystery. Jonathan didn’t just stumble into power blindfolded at a northern folk dance. He knew full well he was riding on a borrowed northern ticket. A little honesty, some humble pie, and maybe a handwritten note saying, “Thanks for the ride, I’ll step off now,” would’ve done wonders. But alas… have you ever met an African politician who voluntarily relinquishes power just because it’s the honorable thing to do? That’s like expecting a lion to go vegan.

Instead, what did we get? A cocktail of righteous indignation and strategic forgetfulness. Suddenly, the opposition found its calling, mobilizing with the speed of a flash sale on market day. Give them a scent of power and they’ll form alliances faster than relatives show up when someone wins the lottery.

excellent good tutoring, we hope Ofunaofu gets the message that Jonathan was a mistake incident, which no one should have any regrets over.

Make them they form opposition, Ofunaofu & em comrades eye go clear when South south collect their slot again.

They have no choice than to support Pbat. Tinubu will win his reelection bid gallantly

We from South East no gree, no solidarity in our dictionary, no southern consolation, Gringory Obi must contest again, & again.

The Technical Adviser to the Bayelsa State Governor on Print Media and Public Affairs, Hon. Wisdom Oniekpar Ikuli, has appealed to political stakeholders to support the defection of Senator Douye Diri, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Hon. Ikuli, the convener of Concerned Bayelsa Stakeholders, a group comprising indigenes and non-indigenes resident in the state, made the appeal during a world press conference in Yenagoa, on Tuesday.

According to Ikuli, there is urgent need for Bayelsa to join the APC, the party in power, because most of the characters left in the PDP are people who conspired to deny Bayelsa State and indeed the entire Ijaw Nation, a second term at the Presidency in 2015.

Explaining further, he said there are concluded arrangements to hide under the excuse of crisis and countless court cases in PDP at different levels to work to nullify the nomination of all candidates that will emerge under the party platform.

Bayelsa State, he said, is presently standing alone as the only PDP state in the whole of South South, noting that the the greatest challenge is the hijack of the PDP by few individuals who have set up traps for Bayelsa citizens in 2027, particularly those who intend to fly the flag of the PDP.

He assured Bayelsa citizens that in the next few days, the concerned Bayelsa stakeholders will begin a daily Rally on the streets of Yenagoa to prevail on the governor to consider his defection to the APC, stressing that his move is non-negotiable and Sacrosanct.

Parts of his address read: “our fathers, High Chief Harold Dappa-Biriye and Chief (Sen.) Dr Melford Obiene Okilo admonished the Ijaw Nation to always align with the government at the centre largely due to our distance from the centre and our difficult terrain in order to attract development to our area.

“For instance, our adherence to their advice and our alignment with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that was the government at the centre helped Bayelsa State and the Ijaw Nation to produce the Vice President and later, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of this country in the person of President Goodluck Jonathan.

“Sadly, today Bayelsans and Ijaws in general are not among first 40 Nigerians from the Offices of the President, Vice President and Services Chiefs. Ijaws have been relegated and rendered politically and economically redundant and impotent because we are not with the government at the centre.


“Ironically, Ijaws who are the majority in terms of population in the geographic Niger Delta area (South South) and the fourth largest tribe in the country, Ijaw Nation that contribute well over 65% of the oil and gas wealth that are used to run the affairs of the country have been rendered powerless because of our non-alignment with the ruling party.

“Again, there is a power sharing and rotation system between the North and South. The North having done their complete eight years under late President Muhammadu Buhari is supposed to support the South to complete her own eight years under incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is working round the clock to strengthen the South.

“The President has graciously appointed illustrious sons and daughters of Ijaw Nation and Bayelsa State in particular into key offices.

“We appreciate his appointment of Senator Heineken Lokpobiri as Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Chief Samuel Ogbuku as MD of NDDC, Chief Ebitimi Amgbare as MD of NDDBA and Hon. Preye Aganaba as the Executive Director of Human Resources of South South Development Commission (SSDC).

“We also thank President Tinubu for approving Federal Government take over of the Second Phase of the Nembe-Brass Road that will help to link the Ocean where the vast wealth of Bayelsa State is.

“It is based on the above that we unanimously appeal to the Governor to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to show Southern Solidarity with other Southern Governors who are with Mr. President.

“But as we move forward, one of the greatest priorities in the alliance with the centre should be the actualization of the Agge Seaport that will help to boost the state economy and also bring about unimaginable transformation and prosperity.”

For the information of these random and highly uninformed posters right on this thread engaging in disinformation and historical revisionism, the former President Goodluck Jonathan had an agreement NOT to go for a 2nd-term in 2015 as President with the PDP power brokers after Yar'Adua passed on and it was widely circulated in the credible online and offline media outlets indicating that Goodluck Jonathan said he was NOT going to recontest after his 1st full tenure as President ended but he reneged. .

His failure to honor that political agreement led to many far-Northern Nigeria and Middle Belt PDP members leaving that political party for the APC. Therefore, contrary to the total B.S. that poster on page 1 of this thread wrote, the current President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria or other Southern Nigeria political members of the APC (or any other political party) NEVER betrayed Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 by voting against him. Period.

This is a question a reasonable SE person should ask himself

Which part of the South-South is strategizing for the Vice Presidential slot?

Is it the Ikwerres, the Urhobos, the Ijaws, or the Efik, the Annangs, Ibibios?
Is it the Bini or the Itsekiris?

Which part, exactly?

And during this period, number of years, where will your southwest zone be?

Can you show us the written agreement where Jonathan said he will not go for a second term
