The other day is ibadan, today is Ogun. This shows the PDP has collapsed it structures into APC and some dimwit want Obi back to PDP. Tribal politics is anti development. It does no country any good

bixton:
Why will Soludo support PO?

Do you think the PDP chairman is just saying such because PBAT is Yoruba?


Even those who would support PBAT from the Niger Delta know what they will collect or have benefited before indulging in such.....


The masses from the Niger Delta region who would want to vote for PBAT out of freee will , are only doing such based on Southern Agenda and it's the turn of the South.


PO may not be lucky to have good number of votes like before if he continues the way he is going about it all ......

Pdp is an offshoot of APC thanks to wike and atiku.

2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

Haha, Atiku think say he wise, you go change party tire.

Rip PDP, thanks to Atiku

ddippset:
Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.

Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku.
He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.


He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party..
Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.

This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.

He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.

COMRADES, we know these people by their comments, that's why Dino Malaye affirmed that PDP is a branch of apc

What a shame

Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT

Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.

Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.

The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.

The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.

The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.

Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.

North will vote Atiku and Obi. South East will vote Atiku and Obi, South South will vote Atiku and Obi

DMerciful:
You cannot speak for the South West.
People will make the decision to support Obi by themselves

amaridigital:
Obi keh, so the SW people will be too foolish to give their votes to someone from a region that gave 95% of their votes to their own son? No, SW might love to play neutral in the past but they have since find out their true friends and enemies. No single ward will be delivered to Obi in the SW this coming general elections. Why will you give your meal to your own son and ask me to starve my son and overfed yours? Impossicant. Atiku will get far more votes in the SW than Obi because his people are more impartial. That was why Atiku won Osun State twice in presidential election but those nyamiris, forget them. They will find out yorubas are not dumb.

most yorubas who voted obi in 2023 will never vote for him again because they now understand the igbo agenda. Obi will fail weofully in south west.

rotadeco27:
Stop deceiving yourself, the South West will not support obi in the next election. The obedients have made us realize that obi is an igbo agenda and not for the better Nigeria we thought we are yarning for. The reactions to the loss of the last election made everything come to the open.
