Seun Okinbaloye's interview with Ali Modu Sheriff

Modu Sheriff is a former Governor of Borno State and erstwhile National Chairman of PDP
Senseless reason is not my portion.

Some people have forgotten that many elites in Yoruba land voted Obi.
I was in University of Ibandan as a contractor throughout the elections. I heard both Professor's and Student discuss the elections. 80% of those people voted Obi. Yoruba or not. I am Yoruba. I Campaigned for Obi and till today. If I would vote, he remains my candidate.
My brothers both in Lagos and in Ibadan voted Obi , several of my neighbours and friends did.

Some comments annoy me greatly.

What can you do?

You do anyhow, you see anyhow. You think 2027 is 2023. We are ready.

Madness begets madness. Nobody can claim monopoly of violence.

We wait for you to try same primordial behavior you exhibited during Guber elections in Lagos state.
That's what he fails to understand. Igbos weren't prepared with the act they displayed during the gubernatorial election in Lagos but it will never happen again cos the igbos will be well prepared this time around and won't be taken unawares. Once beaten twice shy!

In my Delta State where Obi won, is it Igbos that made him win? undecided
I could remember them in Delta state when apc and pdp came with plenty to share and people collected the money but later voted obi,after the exercise they asked they did that and the people ask them to stay aside then pdp agent started asking for refund which was already too late.i just want atiku and tinubu to know that Nigerians are suffering more now and the people around me now believe that obi's emergence was God's plan which they missed but if given another opportunity to vote,more people will vote for this man called obi that is moving around like wild fire.That revolution we have been hearing in this country may happen soon especially during the election period.

I have said same thing on this forum and it's very correct by the man.
No problem. In 2027, we'll know if Lagos has more Igbos or more Yorubas.

Obi won my heart before but the way you people disregard Yorubas is just too much. It's an Hausa man that will tell you the population of Igbos in Lagos abi... No wahala.

I disagree vehemently with the Boko Haram man.
The yorubads are more than the igbos in Lagos State.
And tinubu couldn't win Lagos because the yorubads voted massively against him for Peter Obi.
Let there be no controversy; yorubads are more than igbos.
More so, due to threats and other tactics deployed by jingoistic tribalists, Igbos are increasingly leaving the southwest.
And that is good, because those that do not want good things should be left alone with their toys of doom.

No be this man start Boko Haram crisis?

Peter Obi got lots of votes from all tribes, including Yorubas in Lagos.

For many, vote Obi for president, and Sanwo-Olu for governor.

That's how it played out.

Ali is wrong. I am a Lagosian and a typical yoruba man but I voted PO because I believe he has capacity, compassion and character.

Dey there and be deceiving yourself. Did you think it was ibos who voted obi in 2023? See chest beating grin. If dem check you very well, you're not even a lagosian. Better vote tinubu in your state and leave us alone. Alimosho is the largest yoruba population in Nigeria by local government. Ibos here are less than 5% yet, obi won.

Tinubu isn't so popular here as most ofyou may have thought. Since when alimodu sherif become a lagosian that he'd be saying all these grin. OK naw, 2027 ko jinna rara. E maa bawa mbę. God bless Nigeria

Can anyone show me where Obi made tribal comments?
The way they gas light Obi and his supporters is truly mind bending! PO is the most attacked private individual in Nigeria! He’s not holding any public office and all he did was campaign! He specifically asked people to not support him because of his tribe or religion but based on competence! Why all this?


PO has never attacked anyone or made inflammatory comments! What’s all this ?
Re: There Are More Igbos Than Other Tribes In Lagos, That's Why Obi Won - Ali Modu by Konjiboii: 1:02am On Jul 29, 2025
I use to make excuses for this type of politicians that they dont know what is happening to the masses to know what is wrong and right, on the contrary this people know and choose not to lead us well , makes no sense when you think about it, that many of us abled bodied youth and sound minded people allowed this type of people to take charge. No patriotism in the heart of such people, they know with no reasonable doubt that once Mr PO enters Aso Rock their illegitimate way of making wealth will seize and they will be accountability.
If Obi doesn’t achieve anything as President of Nigeria let him factory reset the country. It is exciting just to think someone as Obi will rule Nigeria.

Lol... The only reason Obi won in Lagos was bcuz of Muslim Muslim ticket. Why Chinadu did not win the governorship election? Me as a Yoruba, a Christian living in Lagos, I was once an Obidient but now, I know better.
Re: There Are More Igbos Than Other Tribes In Lagos, That's Why Obi Won - Ali Modu by 5starMan: 2:25am On Jul 29, 2025
I know they don't like us. So other politicians that got votes from other tribes,they see it as normal but any Igbo that gets votes from another state, that is not Igbo in majority, it becomes a miracle to them.
If Tinubu win rivers state, it is not about yoruba in Rivers.
If Atiku wins Osun it is not about Fulani in Osun
But if Obi a man from the tribe they love to hate,wins Lagos,it's about Igbos in Lagos...
As long as the Igbo man is continually ganged up against both by his fellow Igbo man and other tribes Nigeria will not make any meaningful progress as a Nation irrespective of individual progress.

On point my brother. Infact, the liberal Yorubas are waiting for him 2027. These are the kind of gullible statements that demarkets P.Obi.
Fact is that we Yorubas are just accommodating. we are more in Lagos. P.Obi should try and debunk news like this if not it will affect any of his election moves. Can you imagine such effrontery. No person can win an election with only one tribe.

So are igbos more in Nassarawa, Edo, Abuja, Plateau ? Obi should try and denounce all these statements from these people but he is not doing that.

The statement that yorubas are accomodating is a fallacy. I say that because if you go to other states, there are also yorubas there or igbos or hausas there, npbody has asked them to leave which i find very absurd. The only people that have ever asked others to leave are yoruba people, even the north have not asked igbos to leave. It just happens that out of the three major tribes in nigeria, igbos are the most travlled and they do this mainly for economic benefit, that is their nature. So in a state like lagos where there is economic boom, it is jist the case where you see them alot more..period

You are ignorant.Igbos are many in Lagos and they campaign with religious sentiment with obi and other tribes fell for it in Lagos state. He failed wofefully in the core north cos they retaliated by not voting him because of his attack on Muslim. Sheriff didn't put the statement rightly but a deep thinker will understand what he means. Obi will still fail again cos most Christians from other region except south east will not be on panic mode again.
Even in your heart you don't believe this thing you wrote.

. Can you face this guy and leave Peter obi alone? Or leave the igbos alone?

When Obj contested against ojukwu in South East and won him in all state. Does it mean yoruba are more than igbos?

Those are politicians that are bent on sowing tribalism in Nigeria.

This statement of Ali Modu Sheriff is wrong.. Igbos are not more than Hausas in Lagos.

From my evidence-based research, it turns out Southerners from other States outside South West are collectively referred to as Igbos, I mean those from Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Cross Rivers etc.
Most Yorubas can't even tell which is which until they reveal their ethnic group.

The failure of leadership in Yorubaland caused the outcome of 2023 presidential elections in Lagos. It was still same failure of leadership that made a certain group attack Lagos under guise of EndSars. The moment Yorubas rose up, they fled back to their holes.

How Yoruba leaders kept quiet and allowed Obi perpetrate his religious bigotry and campaign of calumny in Yorubaland saddens me till tomorrow. Ahh, Yorubas got me heartbroken beyond words.
A large chunk of our people went to the polls and voted blindly for a failure with no achievements whatsoever to his name because of what fake pastors said on their pulpits.
So are you telling me that the certain group who were speaking Yoruba and clearly raided the palace of Oba of Lagos and took his staff are not Yoruba? Continue lying to yourself
