My advise to Peter Obi is to be focussed.
He should watch before he leaps.
The troubles of the PDP are far from over. Until the likes of damagun and other moles in the PDP is wiped out the party will not move forward.
In my opinion, Obi running as the candidate on any platform will fall short. He should collaborate with a strong northern candidate. At this point there's nothing like the turn of the South. It's time to take off the gloves and fight. When tinubu, a Muslim, chose another Muslim in shetima to deputies, "the turn of a Christian deputy" didn't stop his victory. Obi should work with a strong northerner in 2027 and run afterwards.

.
Wike will not even agree for peter obi to be the presidential candidate of PDP...wike that has been criticizing and talking harshly about peter obi

casualobserver:
It is Obi’s best play to run as a president but he will still fail!

ADC is not giving him the ticket.
He will get more votes under PDP than under Labour.

PDP will use him to resurrect their party. Under PDP, Obi will get more votes than 2023 but PDP governors especially Northern PDP governors who are eyeing presidency in 2031 will work against him.

He will still fail

There is no route to an Obi presidency whether ADC, LP or PDP.

There is root for his president if only he can be vice to Atiku in ADC.

That's the pathway for Obi presidency.

ALISMILE:
Even PO is confused now about what party he truly belongs
Whether it’s APGA , or PDP or LP or ADC, dude is seriously confused. All I see is a two faced liar pretending to be righteous

Peter Obi is a hot cake...many political parties need him for him to be their presidential candidate

okomile:
Good luck to them

We are waiting
2027 is just minutes away

. peter obi is a hot cake..political parties need him for him to be their presidential candidate

Reloadedisraelp:
....dude u truly believe dat coalition will scare APC? .... A coalition without structure ....dey play.... remove PO from dat coalition it's Dead on arrival.... PO have said it many times he won't be vise to anyone.... Now lemme school u...if by chance atiku give PO the presidency ticket in adc,they are stronger factors dat will still mk him lose .1 the northern factors 2.lack of structure in adc n more...at the end the zoning protocol will still prevail.

You are still falling for the same game they are playing and missed my point.


Obi is not going for any VP slot.

Allow the confusion to continue. My point is don’t be carried away by the noise about Obi to deputize for Atiku cos that is never going to happen. However the discussion like that is necessary to keep APC guessing.


The only thing I pray for is for Southern Youths to rise up and defend those votes because our docility is just too annoying. What do you mean thug attack someone in your presence and you allowed him to go instead of hospitalizing the bassstarrd? That thing still Dey pain me till today cos of that woman that almost lost her eyes while men watch.

Reloadedisraelp:
e nor go bad if obi rule for 8yrs to mk it a total of 12yrs of hardship n lamenting

thats your opinion, you have a lot of people to convince

You people never learn.
1) Obi is not the Ibo man that will become a president of Nigeria. Not 2027,2031 or year 4000!
2) Northern Governors are eyeing the presidency in 2031, Atiku and Obi are stumbling blocks to that. That is why no northern governor is backing Atiku….even his own state governor.
3) For the same reason they are not supporting Atiku in 2027, they won’t back Obi in 2031…….they want 2031 for themselves, to do that, south must have no excuse for contesting, I.e south must have completed its 8yrs by 2031.
4) the play for Northern governors is to eliminate Atiku and Obi in one chess move. Once they sabotage both Atiku and Obi in 2027, the are both removed from the equation and any other competitors from the south for 2031.

If you can’t see or understand the play, you don’t understand politics.

The nature of Nigerian politics and our zoning arrangement is that the opportunity to become president is also hinged on established zoning arrangements but also how it affects the ambitions of the people whose support you need particularly governors. A northern politician who misses 2031 will have to wait for 2047!

Buhari got Tinubu’s support because he knew he could afford to wait 8yrs, Tinubu shouted “Emilokan” because he knew 2023 was his only slot and if he missed it it won’t come again for another 16yrs.

naptu2:
@ bold: I agree.

Meanwhile, how do you know that Tinubu would not prefer to have him on the ballot?

Of course, Tinubu will prefer Obi to contest the net election on a different platform than Atiku! It will make it easier for him!

stanluiz:

That's the pathway for Obi presidency.

The problem with educated NIgerians is that we think education ends in the exam hall.

We don’t think, we don’t analyze data, we just talk based on our emotions.

Have you ever taken time to study the data, the demographics, the political permutations?

Of the 5 Northern PDP governors 4 are either from the NE or NC. Whose turn is it to produce the president when power returns to the north?……NE or NC! If you were a Northern PDP governor, especially those whose terms end in 2031 from NE or NC, why would you support Atiku in 2027 or do anything to give Obi the justification for contesting in 2031?

Please let us use our brains.

Below is the current spread of governors by party. I hope this explains why ADC has no sitting governor backing them particularly from the North.


The difference between Atiku, Obi and Tinubu is simple. Tinubu has many powerful political players even from the opposition whose political interests are served if he is re-elected. Whereas the heavyweight political actors lose if Atiku and Obi succeed. It is for that reason and that reason only that the 2015 coalition worked and this coalition will fail.

Bola Ige? Are you sure you're not the one smoking that shite

It's not Bola Ige, it's Kukutente Ige, are you happy now?, kiddo.

Putindbutt:
Ipob, political parties came together to form PDP, so keep your delusion in your house.

Your tribal hate is your problem, go and deal with it. Or be permanently blinded to fact.

PDP was founded by Dr Alex Ekwueme. If this fact will deny you sleep, so be it.

highchief1:
calm down bro.the wealthy president fit no even Dey alive by 2027.even u when Dey type.make una try understand life first.if anyone had told ifeanyi ubah that he won’t even be alive when anambra votes he won’t belief.Now let’s be realist.tinubu is not unbeatable.the coalition is just greedy and that na em luck.if Obi drops pride and decides to deputize atiku,tinubu will be defeated by 11am on election morning.U see defeat and death,e no get who big pass am.

Even if you and Obi live for 1000 years, Obi will never be president.

Putindbutt:

Bola Ige was with AD and only served in OBJ's govt
When did he become PDP founder

Iamsane:
Even if you and Obi live for 1000 years, Obi will never be president.

Obi no be my papa.if e become president my life even fit worse just the way some of una life worst with tinubu.rhe only point I was making is that tinubu is not unbeatable and no one man can claim too much powers.after all the almighty jagaban lost his Lagos state.this game Dey beyond everybody.without rigging and manipulation even atiku fit win tinubu for election.nobody is unbeatable,power belongs to the people.if u can’t understand this how did u pass waec.

mfm04622:
Wike now owns PDP!! Whatever anyone else says about PDP without Wike is jokes!

Nobody is arguing that with you.

Davimuyi:
Let me educate you . IREV is not electronic voting it's just a place where election results from the polling units are snapped ad uploaded by the inec officers in charge of each polling units . It's not electronic voting that you can tamper with. The same results on the field is what is uploaded manually on IREV then it's calculated . IREV is actually nothing it's the same results from the field . So IREV shutting down is never to reduce or increase a candidates votes . As at today all the results uploaded on IREV tallies with all the results uploaded from all the polling units . So stop taking about IREV it's just a way to also have a system to refer to asides the once in the field it's like a electronic Storage ..

You are talking about results being uploaded on IREV 9 months after the election?

How are you going to convince me that it’s the right figures that are being uploaded?

What do you mean Southern Party?

Everywhere is a land mine. APC is seriously banking on Atiku to destroy the coalition and not allow Obi but my 6th sense sees ADC has already agreed behind closed doors before they made thing public. All they are doing currently are just to confuse APC and make appear that they have not agreed on anything but still in discussion.

If you notice, APC is making more move than ADC. It’s intentional. The goal is to watch APC make more than 80% moves before they declare their. And it’s working.

Since that coalition, I have seen APC make more frantic moves than they would have made if Obi and Atiku were in different parties.


This means they are shit scared.

Forget their noise on nairaland. This is the only place they appear to have voice. They can’t make those useless comments on Twitter anymore.


When was the last time you heard from Jerry Gana? Why now? Jerry Gana is telling you they want to bring Obi back but he never said anything about Wike. Do you understand what that means?

To give you an idea of their desperation, don’t be surprised to see them exhume Yaradua to come convince Obi to come back. The reason is they deeper need Obi in a separate place without Northern backing so that they can strike.

Pay attention to their actions than their words. It will reveal more than any news you will ever know.

Makinde was supposed to remain in PDP to work for Tinubu but coalition has forced him to abort that plan but previously, just some weeks before he coalition, Makinde boastfully declared he is more qualified to vier for the highest office (president) in the land. After coalition, Makinde switch to “because your house is on fire does not mean you should abandon it” but he was quiet 🤫 while Wike was moving made. And they are now calling Obi to come back.

I saw Remi Tinubu wishing super falcons success and laughed 😂. Husband said they should release allowances for the falcons. The desperation to look good is laughable. Even Seyi Tinubu governorship plan is on pause right now. All because of coalition. If only most of you will pay attention to actions than words, you see the picture clearer.

Bros, allow them do what they want to do. ADC has made only one move. APC have done 20.

Relax 😌

True to your moniker, you drew a lot of insights here.

Like you, I also believe the coalition already has an agreement on who will be candidate and running mate but that decision is probably known only to a very few people which is why even we the supporters of different candidates are bickering online while they would probably be laughing at us inside.

One thing I believe is that Tinubu is very much beatable.

highchief1:
haba.they had a great outing in 2019.nobody can compare 2019 performance with 2023 na.See i don’t hate tinubu.i personally like him more than u.follow my previous thread s over the years if u have time.i just don’t want to hear that one Person is too strong or unbeatable. For my place them Dey say strong man na who community remove eyes for.if dem plan u them go get u. with good strategy and if the coalition can eschew greed and personal ambition,tinubu can be beaten.

Lol. That's true though.

There is something you are not getting. So after 3 elections, you still underrate APC or Tinubu? Why are you deceiving yourself? Oga, as far as Nigeria politics is concerned, Tinubu is no 1. You cannot outfox him. He will outfox ADC sir. There is a reason ADC are not in power and Tinubu is

fergie001:
Ask yourself since the coalition, why they have suddenly turned to Obi.

You watched the video right?
When the presenter asked him, that Atiku said he will step down if it is zoned to the South East, what did he respond? He said it should be left to the South to slug it out and you thought Obi will still outwit Wike?

A Professor Gana who negotiated with APC in his home State so that his son will be in the House of Reps?

Peter Obi did not win 2023 election, leave this thing you are saying. He didn't win NE/NW (13 States), he didn't win 5 SW States, he didn't win 3 NC States, so how did he win? Stop now......

If indeed he wants Tinubu out, his best bet is a coalition, that's not even seal-proof, the odds is not even better than 60%, but let's just say it will rattle the incumbent. No singular person without a coalition can defeat a sitting Nigerian President. Prof is a Wike man.

The communication strategy employed by the commentator referenced above, seemingly in service of a political patron, appears to be missing its intended effect with the broader audience. Portraying oneself as an independent political analyst while consistently promoting partisan narratives inevitably undermines both credibility and long-term influence.

In a democracy, constructive criticism of any public figure, including Mr. Peter Obi, is both valid and necessary, particularly within Nigeria’s current politically charged and complex environment. That said, it would be disingenuous not to recognize the remarkable impact Mr. Obi made during the 2023 presidential elections. His performance, which defied expectations and broke long-standing political patterns, was historic and shifted the national discourse.

With appropriate positioning, Mr. Obi remains a formidable contender, one whose appeal continues to unsettle the political status quo. This includes not just elected figures, but also critics who often betray their unease through persistent efforts to diminish his stature.

Indeed, Mr. Obi's sustained presence in public discourse underscores his relevance. In politics, such visibility is rarely accidental, it reflects resonance with the electorate and the embodiment of qualities that many find aspirational. If properly leveraged, this attention can be a political asset, though it must be managed wisely.

Mr. Obi’s accomplishments, both in governance and business, speak for themselves. Expecting him to conform to another individual’s strategic preferences or style is unrealistic and unnecessary. He is not obligated to adopt the level of so-called transparency critics demand, particularly when the same standard was not, and still is not, applied to figures such as President Tinubu, whose own transparency record remains a matter of public concern.

If the above commentator indeed possessed the insight and political acumen he claims, it is unlikely his contributions would be confined to informal platforms such as Nairaland. Assertions that Mr. Obi did not win the 2023 election lack evidentiary backing and offer no compelling justification for the legitimacy of the results announced by INEC at 4 am in the early hours of that morning.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that there is a deliberate effort to weaken Mr. Obi’s political standing ahead of future elections. Acknowledging this agenda openly would be a more honest approach than concealing it under the guise of impartial analysis.

If Obi makes such mistake to return to PDP this both him and ADC should kiss 2027 bye

The way most of your assume Obi is stupid makes me laugh. If he not smart, do you think he will be getting all these attention 247? lol.

There is a reason all eyes are in him because he has proven to be difficult bone 🦴 in the their throat. He won’t be getting all these attention and hits if he was an easy fish to fry

I am referring to Atiku not obi.

fergie001:
Chai, Penguin 2.... No polling booth dey SM oooo.

It's sponsored to make sure Atiku does not see the ballot, but those who know politics understand it's an exercise in futility. Tinubu will return to Aso Rock easily because of Atiku & Obi running separately.

I don't dispute Obi and have never.
I just feel he doesn't seem to be open about his political position, he has always been like this since he was Governor. Many who support him today, do not know his politics when he was Governor, he was sneaky about his politics, neither here nor there, especially some of the things he today criticises and he still continues and you applaud him.

Today he is supporting Nenadi Usman and a day after tomorrow, he is sponsoring candidates for Abure to affirm. The Anambra Guber and Anambra South Candidates came from the imprimatur of Obi. He practically handed those names to Abure. They have been his friends and nominees even when he was Governor. Infact the Anambra South Candidate after winning the Primary publicly thanked Obi for supporting him, in front of Julius Abure.

Where does that leave Otti? Abure conducted Primaries and he pushed his friends to get the ticket and is campaigning for them. Do you know the character of the person he is fronting for Anambra South? Many who support him today do not know,
In APGA, as Governor that was how he threw Victor Umeh under the bus, conducted a National Convention & backed Okwu who won, then turned around, reconciled with Umeh, then ditched Okwu without the man knowing.

I hate this one leg here and another there. That is why Otti has technically distanced himself from him. The same thing he is doing today. He should take a stand!

Now, if Obi won the 2023 election, he won't need a coalition today. He ought to have PU agents, even Tinubu will claim his votes were suppressed in Anambra. He should remain in the ADC and fight it out, win or lose, that's my humble suggestion he must not compulsorily take, afterall who am I?

See, this is not blind support, but what you see as weakness in Obi, I actually see as strength.

Except for the instance of Okwu and Umeh which is not good if that’s how it really happened. But at the end of the day, Obi is still human.

Now, about not being decisive with his position, I would actually consider it a strength because it makes it difficult for his enemies to know what he’s truly up to next.

Take the present instance of the coalition for instance, if Obi comes openly and resigns from LP, joins the ADC and declares he’s only with the coalition whether head or tail. What do you think will happen?

You will agree with me that it will make it easy for Tinubu and his men to now fully deploy to ADC and plot how to stop him.

But with his current game, no matter how frustrating you find it, it makes it difficult for his enemies to really know where to wait for him and how to stop him.

So, trust me, what you complained of him is strategy, not weakness.

I’m like that too.

Thank you for finally saying this. I do not know why people are not seeing it. As a ''south westerner'' myself, I am putting my country's progress before my tribe. Tinubu contested with a muslim-muslim ticket; something that has never been done. Tinubu also led the coalition to unseat a fellow southerner (Jonathan). If Tinubu can emerge with techinicalities, then ADC is very justified to run on the same technicalities.

It is not the turn of the south. It is the turn of PROGRESS.

thesicilian:
Lol. That's true though.

even tinubu understands this that’s why he is working very hard.have u ever seen any seating president that starts campaign 2yrs to election.tinubu Dey fear em supporters Dey make mouth.he wants everyone to join apc and some people Dey their house Dey say tinubu don win already.In 2023 when there was no hardship,fuel was 179,dollar was 400+,electricity tarrif wasn’t this high.people voted Obi so imagine now that 80% of Nigerians can’t comfortable eat well.2027 no be easy for tinubu.If u take away rigging I no see how e go take win.

See what I dislike most about his character.
The people closest to him are not telling him how it is.
See how you have explained it, the people he listens to, don't tell him the political reality. I hope I am wrong at the end of the day.
Why leave Otti hanging?
Can't you see Otti has been quiet for a while because he can't understand. The day he defects now, he will be harassed but can you see the confusion. At least, carry your only Governor along, NO.

Only Atiku obi joint ticket will unseat tinubu. 7 + 6 million votes and still counting.
