HE@PObi had never consulted you as his advocate so why is peter obi a focal aggendum in the agenda,a senile advocate of Nigeria, now I understood the kind of judiciary we have in the country and how some persons became senile advocate of Nigeria is in heavy hearted doubt and unfathomable.

It's hard to know who's giving an honest opinion in Nigeria these days because dirty money is flowing daily into their bank accounts.

They're still scared
They're still scared
They're still scared
Anyone that thinks tgis guyvis being honest is stupid, this is exactly what they are afraid of and they are letting you know.
Why would any sane person advise his opponent not to commit a blunder or would you rather keep quiet and et your enemies make istake instead of pointing it out to them

**
Common sense and Strategy tells me minoster keyamo is far from being honest

How can Obi become Atiku's deputy now? Obi can't be Atiku's president. Unimaginable by the Obidients.

Actually, he isn't, with Atiku, there is zero chance they will win.
How are you so sure about this? Or are you just giving yourself some sweet, unnecessary hope? Let’s deal with the facts: in the 2019 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar (with Peter Obi) scored 11.26 million votes that’s 41.22% of the total. While Muhammadu Buhari pulled in 15.19 million votes (55.60%), a margin of about 3.93 million votes. This was even Peter Obi became popular. Everybody in APC knows this number and that’s what giving them headaches and sleepless nights and they are trying everything to make sure that number won’t happen again.

I agree with Festus! OBI will lose a large number of supporters, possibly up to 40%, if he agrees to deputise Atiku.

However, the remaining 60% OBI supporters + Atiku's followers + the mass of Nigerians tormented by hunger + the multitude of tribal northerners currently angry with Tinubu's perceived Yorubanisation, APC would be packing it's bags by 2027 if that coalition ever happens. Festus knows this too!
The same number they didn’t lose in 2019 when they had over11million votes.

Speaking live on Channels TV, Festus Keyamo stated that the three major demographics that gave Peter Obi six million votes in the 2023 election would withdraw their support if Obi agrees to become Atiku Abubakar’s deputy.

He emphasized that both the Christian bloc and the South East region would pull out once Atiku is the flag bearer.
how is that any of your business

That's your opinion. Not the opinions of knowledgeable Nigerians who know what Atiku can bring to the table. His track records as VP are there for you to see.

Even if he doesn't get the power as VP, without necessarily conceding he won't, that's his sure pathway to become president in future.

If accepting VP will make Nigerians move forward, Obi will accept with good faith. His Presidential ambition is not a do or die affairs.
Thank you. He will even become president if he stoops low by taking VP role first.

This is the result Elrufai posted on his X- handle former Twitter. He regretted supporting the rigging of the 2023 presidential election to favor Tinubu because he was in APC then........this is why they are obsessed with PO.

Efuaye:
I think he is right on this.
I don't see any reason to vote for Atiku just because Obi may be his running mate, that will be a repeat of the 2019 elections.
2027 with Atiku and Obi is not the same scenario with that of 2019. They will contest against Tinubu, not Buhari.

Very interesting...

APC now understands the dangers this coalition poses to them.

It's obvious they are very jiltery at the coalition. Hiw best can one explain the rationale behind such statement if fear has not spread across their camp.

The right thing to do, at this time, is for Obi to run as Atiku's vice. For that's the surest path to igno presidency... And the only way apc can ve wrestled out of power...
Good points bro but Obi is recalsitrant. I can't fathom someone of Obi's caliber not to read between the lines and listen to the voice of reasoning. The same way he calculated very wrongly and helped APC's victory in 2023 is how he's going about it towards 2027. Very unfortunate..

He is very correct. I am extremely optimistic that Peter Obi has the required competence and integrity to reposition Nigeria on the right track. And that is the only reason he enjoys so much support.

Going by our constitution, the office of the vice president is just like that of a house boy.

Atiku will make a terrible president. It is an error Nigeria must avoid making.
On why basis will Atiku be a terrible president? Is it on the basis of your tribal sentiment or wasped/awkward reasoning.?

Bwala is on Obi
Keyamo is on Obi
Umahi is on Obi
It was almost the same thing with Buhari in 2015 when many Nigerians said it was either Buhari or nothing. The same unreasonable mob action that aided Buhari to power is what some people want to replicate in Obi but it won't happen.

Atiku had more votes than Obi in 2023. Ultimately, it is the number of votes that matter, not how many regions/states you win.
. You are right!

Actually, it is d other way around. Dis guys have seen it dat, D marriage between Atiku and Obi will be d ultimate game changer. But, if dey should go separate, dey both will lose, and dat is what APC want.

What if it's this combination?

1. Obi/Kwankwaso (55% chance of winning)

2. Obi/Elrufai ( 50% Chance of winning)

3. Atiku/Obi (70 % chance of winning)

I don't see Tinubu winning the next election any how you choose to look at the combination.
Re: Festus Keyamo: Obi's Support Base Will Collapse If He Becomes Atiku’s Deputy by Halo22: 5:38pm On Aug 05, 2025
I don't know what is wrong with some of our people. So this thrash spewed by Festus Keyamo is what some of us are junketing over here. Keyamo and his co- appointees are being jittery that their Principal's ambition for 2027 is about to hit the rock and you guys are here making him appear important. It doesn't concern him whether Obi deputizes Atiku or not, the ultimate plan is to vote APC out of power and we are ready to do the needful anyhow possible.

Nobody asked you.
Pray Atiku doesn't win.
You will face your worst nightmare when this latest airport contract probe begins in his admistration.
P S: don't think we don't know most of you are secretly supporting Obi in the event your ailing puppetmaster falters and lose woefully as anticipated.
Nothing will save you post 2027 elections.
Re: Festus Keyamo: Obi's Support Base Will Collapse If He Becomes Atiku’s Deputy by tonesky(m): 8:03pm On Aug 05, 2025
Festus or what you called yourself, what's your problem with Peter Obi? Can APC make any comment without bringing Obi in the matter. Since you people stole his mandate in 2023, i wonder if it's guilty conscience or fear of 2027 that made you people to always mention his name as if he took your wives. Let him breath please 🥺
Re: Festus Keyamo: Obi's Support Base Will Collapse If He Becomes Atiku’s Deputy by roscoman: 8:21pm On Aug 05, 2025
I want to tell anyone that care to listen. The moment Peter Obi refused to deputize Atiku Abubakar he should forget about ruling Nigeria. Peter Obi votes alone can't defeated Tinubu but once there are together Jagaban go home straight.

In 2023 election, Tinubu has 8,794,726. While Atiku Abubakar has 6,984,520 and Peter Obi 6, 101,533 = 13, 086,053 - Tinubu: 8,794,726 = If Obi + Atiku was together they would have still have like 4,291,327 to play around with.

By that time, Nigerians was never more informed and orientated like they were now. If they are together then they would have been in power now. It was because there votes was divided since there not together.

Peter Obi can't gets up to 5 million votes in this coming election if is alone but with Atiku Abubakar as a running mate to him Tinubu is a goner.

All these guys coming online advising Obi are doing so because they know what it means and what would happen to there useless party.

However, the only way Obi can become President in future is when he paired with Atiku Abubakar. If Atiku Abubakar rules for 4 years it would be easier for Obi to succeed him but the moment Peter Obi is listing to all these noise they are making and decided to run alone he can't singlehandedly win Tinubu and he can't be president again. Because after Tinubu 8 years Presidency power goes back to north in 2031.

Peter Obi should calculated well to see the reality on ground or else he would fail .
Re: Festus Keyamo: Obi's Support Base Will Collapse If He Becomes Atiku’s Deputy by otherway: 8:46pm On Aug 05, 2025
Keyamo is smart. Very smart.

He knows that if Atiku clinches ADC ticket and OBi deputies him then it's over for Tinubu.

So all he is trying to do here is to use psychology to make Obi refuse if the opportunity comes up.

Believe it or not guys, Only Atiku Obi combo can remove jagaban

God bless you.. Go check my previous comments and it's as if you copied and pasted my previous comments on other threads.

If Obi refuses to be Atiku's vice IF it comes to that... Then Obi should just face his business and forget Aso Rock for life.
