His commissioners were professionals; captain of industries, lecturers mostly and they’ve gone back to their works unlike professional politicians you supports.

But you guys said Obi also is a captain of industries. What then is preventing him from going back to his "chain of businesses"? has he become a professional politician, too!

ALISMILE:
So literally, he’s keeping one foot in the ADC and the other in the LP, just in case things don’t go as planned with the former — and you don’t think members of both parties can see through that flawed strategy, essentially portraying him as desperate and not loyal and unprincipled!

It's called thinking smart.

You’re right to the extent that Peter Obi doesn’t have the structure to protect his votes from being stolen by veterans in the game of the Nigerian style of politics! And for avoidance of doubt and in this instance, by veterans in the game i’m referring to Atiku and Tinubu!

I’m of the firm belief that Peter Obi won the last presidential election….ie, got the highest number of validly cast votes, but the prowess of the Tinubu/APC rigging machinery was just too much for him to overcome and it found fertile ground in the corrupt-ridden and poverty stricken environment of Nigerian partisan politics! They didn’t just rig him out of contention, but made sure to rig him into 3rd to ensure there was no chance in hell of him springing a surprise comeback through the courts!

Okay let’s agree with you that Obi won. The question now is—since PDP came second, did PDP also rig out Obi’s votes?

A strategy that essentially weakens one’s base is not thinking smart—it’s poor planning and weak judgment.

sailor2011:
😁😁 JUST LIKE I thought ....PO has come to the realization that the demonic coalition wants to harvest his horde of Obidients while dumping him to a non functional position such as VP....AA wants to cage him and prevent him from vote splitting come 2027...then bundle him into a VP and mute him for all time..wahala😂😂😂😂

Atiku even promised mumu Obi that he would do only one term and hand over to him, Obi.

helinues:
Peter Obi is even a liability in the coalition as he can't bring new people on board( Where are his commissioners when he was Anambra state governor? Peter Obi can't fund the party as he is too stingy while his supporters would rather send people away than joining

Are you as a Nigerian voting to bring people into a political party?

Hian, wetin Obi APGA Ojukwu Bianca LP obedients Azikiwe do you..... hahaha 🤣

Racoon:
Peter Obi actually needs the Atiku combo to succeed. However, Atiku should understand that the odds against him are many. Hence can back an Obi - Datti combo again to salvage this nation.

Jokers.

Obi needs Atiku more than Atiku needs him. Atiku has the North, has solid experienced politicians backing him and got more votes last time out.

Obis voting base has shrunk.

Only a deluded person won't know this.

casualobserver:
I said it ages ago. Both Atimu and Obi consistently display poor judgement!

Obi no sabi, he just has f**ls following him blindly. He's just Goodluck Jonathan Part 2.

ProudlyLagos:
before nko? No be Mugun hin be before? He doesn’t even have the charisma or inspiring when he speaks. The lamba king I wonder what Atiku must have promised him to make him agree to a coalition he was never going to be given the presidential ticket……only his ipobidient zombies will ever believe Atiku will step down for obi, some are even asking Atiku to deputise obi😂😂😂😂 it’s the Audacity for me who is obi without Atiku?

Is obi even a Presidential material. Imagine "TRICKING HIM" now that he's not even President. Only God knows what they'll do to him if he manages to get their presidential ticket WHICH HE CAN NEVER GET.

I can't imagine anybody tricking ASIWAJU JAGABAN.

so what do u call people like osinbajo, fashola?

Are they not professionals?

The reality is that obi worked with mediocres who weren't even useful to him let alone the community at large.

Many of them were just figure head to loot money.

It's not possible that at least just one person won't make it beyond state level.

U can't hide gold.

Fashola has gotten international appointment so what are u talking about?

descarado:
Obi will deputise Atiku and that is final.
Tinubu can align with asc or even pdp and labour.
Obi is not interested.

what if tinubu beats atiku/obi

What will u say?

SoftSport:


Let’s be honest, Peter Obi wasn’t “tricked” he jumped into the coalition with his eyes wide open hoping to ride the wave but now he’s pretending it wasn’t part of the plan. Watch him play the victim when the game doesn’t go as expected.

Ride which wave.? Before Peter obi agreed to join the coalition, he knew it was going to be VP to Atiku,he doesn't just have the balls to tell his followers that.

I wonder how he wld play this stunt.

It's a win win for Tinubu. If Peter obi remains in adc as VP to Atiku, he will lose most of his followers, if he pulls out and go to contest under another political party, 2023 will repeat itself.

The truth is that Tinubu and Atiku's ambitions are personal ambitions while Peter Obi's own is tribal. Obi's ambition is igbo's awalokan and that is why he can never make any personal decision on his own. Left to him, the VP is ok for him but the Obidient movement will shred him to pieces. They control him bcs he is their project.
He knows the Nigeria's project is too big for him and would prefer to ride on Atiku and deputies him but the obidient movement is his albatross.

Nobody trick anybody, na despirado dey worry Gregory

It's a lie. Peter Obi should go for VP. Njarians are pushing to pocket the SS and SE for the drug sniffer presidoo.

Power should go back to the North

I have to agree with Tinubu that this our coalition na real coalition of confusion. Even agents that he sent to confuse us came out more confused.

fineboynl:
Atiku is too desperate and always calculate wrongly. If tinubu won the reelection which would likely happens then it’s finish for atiku political career.

Tinubu would like choose his own northern successor which would never be atiku.

If atiku cannot support Obi. It would be better for him to make alliances with tinubu instead.

Atiku have no business in last election

So Atiku is desperate but Obi is not? You are too deceitful for humanity. Contrary to your warped reasoning, a reelection of Tinubu in
2027 is the end of Obi's political career and most tragedically, the possible end of Southeast's shot at the presidency.

If the Southeast wants to produce the president in the nearest future, they should prevail on Obi to either deputise Atiku for the 2027 election or put a permanent stop to the cry of marginalization.

ALISMILE:
Okay let’s agree with you that Obi won. The question now is—since PDP came second, did PDP also rig out Obi’s votes?

Knowing their antecedents, PDP most likely would lhave rigged or bent the process in certain places to gain advantage. But the difference between them and APC is that their own electoral malfeasance would not have been as impactful and far-reaching as that of Tinubus’ APC! But more importantly, if PDP rigged i doubt their game plan was to rig Peter Obi into 3rd position. They may not be saints, but i just don’t see them as being that calculating and devious!

He has zero principle, and is gullible.

But Obi alone can never win presidency where there's a Tinubu naaa!

He's better off working under Atiku to first of all dislodge emilokan

onatisi:
I don't know why people keep believing Obi can be president without Atiku or northerners.
As the matter is today ,Obi has done the right thing . There is no way Obi can win 2027 except he aligns with with APC or ASC . The north is in the hands of Atiku ,also the Buhari structure . I think some people think presidential elections starts and ends on the social media

Thank you my brother. They are just been dillusional, deceitful and egocentric, it's incurably in their character. What baffles me is when some people are the real enemies of themselves but continously blame others for thier woes. They take anyone that has contrary opinion as enemy and come after you like headless wasps.

By every calculation, Obi cannot defeat Tinubu even if he plays the religious and tribal cards he deployed in 2023.

Obi's defeat, if he goes ahead to contest in 2027 will be unprecedented.

Putting Peter Obi and Abubakar Atiku on the same pedestal is an insult on the personality and political pedigree of Atiku..


You people have to stop this rubbish hyping

Very funny. So, if indeed Obi was rigged out in 2023 when Tinubu hadn't attained power, what do you think will happen in 2027 with the power of incubency and same Inec traction? You guys should at least, pretend to be learned now.

"Atiku refusing to honour zoning of presidential ticket to South."


That implies another of Atiku's failures to become president of Nigeria.

Nigeria is sustained by zoning of the presidency between the north and the south.

chopnaira:
It was very obvious. Out of desperation, Peter Obi took the bait

Obi was not tricked at all, he knows what he is doing. No one can trick an experienced rich man like Obi at this stage of his life.

The repeat of 2019 Atiku/Obi ticket has been pre- agreed upon before they came together. The major hurdle Obi was trying to cross with all this propaganda is how to pacify non igbos enlighten Obidients, especially those in diaspora on how he end up being a deputy to those they all sees as criminals.

Let's keep yapping about Peter Obi here and there. Mentioning his name up and is giving many of you kicks. Ironically, Peter Obi knows what he's doing 👌

So, continue chasing rats when your house is on fire 🔥

He should better exit now,because Atiku wants to use him and dump him adter.

Cyberterror:
He is very easy to trick says so much about him. And they want to hand over a whole country to this kind of gullible person.

Good point. In a bid to continue with the disingenuous packaging , his supporters and backers end up ridiculing him. How can someone come up with this childish junk. And if truly he was deceived then he should never be entrusted with power. A local government aspirant should not fall into such trap.

At least someone eventually got the gist.you are very smart in analysing politics.

Like I have rightly said, the 2019 ticket has already been agreed on, Obi just dont know how to tell non Igbos intelligent Obidients how he end up being a vice to people they all sees as structure of criminality. It is a very tough hurdle that could impact ADC chances in 2027 general election because Obidients outside of South East and those in diaspora will never ever support him in both finance and campaigns on Internet.

Obi that is the man of the people you're calling liability.More then 70 percentage of the electorate are behind Obi.You should know this today.
Any attempt for Atiku to hijacked ADC as the presidential candidate will give Tinubu an edge to win with large margin.
You people think you can confuse Obi.
Never never.

I still believe Atiku and Obi ticket is what will get tinubu out . The north is the shortest route for the igbos to become a president in Nigeria as of now. If Atiku had picked obi as deputy in last elections Atiku should be preparing for his term now after which he will hand over to obi . But if they can’t put thier ego aside and hearts together it may still happen now
