Peter Obi's Only Route To Presidency by Validated(op): 1:11pm On Jul 25, 2025
When Tinubu and Buhari could not form an alliance in 2011 because Tinubu was interested in presidency as well as Buhari, the PDP defeated both CPC and ACN. That taught them a lesson that one had to step-down for the other.

Fast-forward to 2014, they formed APC with Tinubu remaining patient while supporting Buhari. Tinubu's patience did not mean he was not interested in becoming president. He had to wait and in his place, supported an neophyte in the person of Osinbajo.The rest is now history.

Following from above, Peter Obi should support Atiku to do one term as President. With that arrangement APC will be defeated by 12.00 non.
Then in 2031, he can run as president for 8 years.
He can even beat his chest to say "Emolikan" in Igbo. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Obi waiting till 2031, if not Obi has no other route to presidency.

If Obi runs alone in LP or other party, APC will win again. Then come 2031, power will go back to the North. That means waiting till 2039, who knows who will be alive by then and infact Obi woukd have been 79 or 80 self, and too old to have a say.

My opinion ... nobody pays me to express it. However it is the bitter ruth that may be too bitter a pill for some people to swallow.

Let me tell you the long game being played by Tinubu and his cohorts.

He focuses on Peter Obi so much that people gravitate towards Peter, who can easily be rigged out. That is why they tell you that elections ARE NOT won on social media.

They reference Atiku as corrupt and when such is done, they try to limit his influence, but they know ATIKU is the real threat.

A combination of Atiku/Peter Obi will be TOO BIG TO RIG...

Atiku is even a futuristic thinker, better than BUHARI and TINUBU that are dinosaurs and museum relics grin

This post is exactly what I have been telling my Obidient People since in summary.

Even if Atiku does 8 years it matches the rotation Algorithm...

Because South have ruled for 18 years and North have ruled for 10 years because of yar'adua death.

Even if Atiku rules for 8 years it matches 18-18 years between North and South.

In all fairness if you want to use regional rotation to judge, use the above calculation.

However, it's only ATIKU in coalition with Obi will defeat APC but Obi should not Deputize Atiku. Ameachi should run with Atiku in 2027 and El rufai deputize Obi in 2031.
Re: Peter Obi's Only Route To Presidency by doncartel: 1:55pm On Jul 25, 2025
Imagine Atiku just collect like 2 trillion naira from Tinubu now and drop out of the race. It becomes a straight race of Obi versus Tinubu.

Abeg remove the Atiku/Obi Ticket.

Atiku should do his tenure with Amaechi as deputy

Obi should do his tenure with El rufai as deputy.

Even when you see the romance between El rufai and Obi you will see that this is game hard against APC in this 2027

But without emotions, but with strategy, Atiku is best to run in 2027

That's a great shot if you want to use age. Age is not on Atiku's side, that's why it's best he does One term with Amaechi and hand over to Obi with El Rufai.

First you think Atiku will spend 4 yrs

Secondly why will Amaechi who has been chasing Presidential ambition, stay as VP for 4yrs then step down for Obi?

So what? Is Obi the first to lose? Atiku has been contesting since way back..So quit the blackmail.
Re: Peter Obi's Only Route To Presidency by Usonkwu: 3:33pm On Jul 25, 2025
You're right. I see no other path.
Though, Tinubu is doing better than expected at the moment. I would support him over Atiku.

so Atiku will do just one term?

dont mind all those ones, they are kids.

So they think Atiku will use one term n just leave just like that, someone that has been contesting since 1993?

So they believe if truly Atiku, use one term then Amaechi as VP will just go n sit down?

With the kind of person Amaechi is, I can bet he would rather die than leave VP n go home, he will use his tenure as VP to work his way to presidency.

South south will just say they too want to finish Jonathan term.

These boys don't understand Politics they think it's 2+2= 4

People clamouring for Northern President to take over from Tinubu in 2027 are either foolish or ignorance, Buhari did his own 8yrs for Northerners n Tinubu going to 4yrs n u want to support North again...then southerners will be seen as born to slave.

they are doing it out of hate for yorubas


They themselves know for sure that it's not right but they can't stand a Yoruba man as president
Re: Peter Obi's Only Route To Presidency by casualobserver:
Stop deluding yourselves. There is no path to an Obi presidency…ever! If things happen as you say, the same actors in the North that turned against GEJ and BAT will turn against him in 2031. He will never become president.

The only reason they are courting him is because he has 6m votes.

Almost all the members of the coalition have treated him with contempt and disdain in the past.

Obi wanted to be VOnin 2023, not president. The reason Obi left PDP is because Atiku flatly told him he was not going to be his VP. This was before the primaries!
Re: Peter Obi's Only Route To Presidency by lebienconnu(m): 5:40pm On Jul 25, 2025
Every right-thinking nigerian knows that the Sourh has not completed its turn and Atiku will NEVER hand over after 4 years. Any southerner that would rather have Atiku in 2027 at the detriment of our collective southern interest solely because he detests PBAT should have a rethink. I would personally avoid people like that in my circle because they are very dangerous.

I wont say more than that but I know that JAGABAN, the first, will put it for their body wotowoto come 2027 by the grace of God.

God aid PBAT
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

The bottom line is TINUBUs removal.
