He will pocket like 500 billion from the Lagos-Calabar highway so he’s now feeling like superman. Jonathan had the same money in 2015 but still lost the election. Only Obi we know.

I just laugh and admire your being delusional at its peak because you don't seem to understand that election itself is dynamic.
Why not provide facts to counter him?

You talk of a Chinese man relocating to Lagos to tap from economic opportunity compared to Anambra escaping poverty to sell fan yogo and lacasera, how does that correlate?

Why didn't the Chinese man find such opportunity in Onitsha if Peter Obi left prosperity in the region
Go to Onitsha main market you will see a lot of Chinese that have set up show rooms there. Your problem is that you exhibit sheer ignorance in HD.

One reason why the Igbos will never move as one entity... Self-centeredness has always been the order of the day
And claiming victims.
And hating others.

The APC ticket is not for tinubu along
You can as well challenge tinubu during the primaries to first test your popularity.
Watch how these same minions supporting him will turn around to abuse him.

Umahi is not rated even in apc
I think soludo will get it ahead of him, if he moves to apc
Re: South-East Presidency: I Should Be The Front Runner, Not Peter Obi - Dave Umahi by obi4eze(m):
Look at this clown claiming Igbo presidency. Umahi stands no chance when compared to Peter Obi.

Umahi go and sit down.

Delusional thinking. They did not support Peter Obi, it's you that they will now support.

What about Rochas and Orji Uzor? They all did more than you are doing now.
Show us what they did

Umahi or Soludo are my choices for southeast presidency

And Nigerians will support you wholeheartedly.

You are not just running mouth or rely on ethnic sentiments like Peter Obi, you are a great achiever and your achievements will surely speak volumes if you contest.

Umahi for 2039 presidency!
By 2039, the likes of Umahi, Soludo and possibly Mbah when he joins loudmouth and obnoxious Umahi would be relegated like Rochas Okorocha.

Let’s wait and see. All you people hailing them would reject and brand them IPOB when the time comes.
Re: South-East Presidency: I Should Be The Front Runner, Not Peter Obi - Dave Umahi by Figolouis: 6:43am On Aug 18, 2025
Umahi should just walk the street of any state other than Ebonyi state in Nigeria without mobilising people.
I want to see something .

The nigerian people and the igbo nation are the ones to decide that and not you. No matter how good you may think you are in ur works and achievements if you don't have character, compassion and humility to back it up the people might likely still not like or support you in ur political ambitions.
Re: South-East Presidency: I Should Be The Front Runner, Not Peter Obi - Dave Umahi by YesDaddyTill203: 6:53am On Aug 18, 2025
Right now, 3 people I can vote for as President from the SE are

Soludo
Umahi
Nwela

These three have the name recognition and records to run on.

I'm sure there are others, but these are the 3 that I can easily point out right now.

We currently renovated a three bedroom bungalow where a Chinese man moved in with his family to run a factory business. Does it mean Nigeria is better than China?
Comrade U get time to engage those daftuses. They have never shown any creativity in their hatred for PO. They regurgitate old and stale narratives that have long lost their relevance. People that rely on Reno to help them invent narratives to be used against PO. Very poor and lazy bunch

Even in Zamfara there are Chinese doing business. We are talking about massive migration of Anambra people where Peter Obi governed to Lagos where Tinubu was governor.

Now tell me one Lagosian that relocate to Anambra for economic reason

"I should be the front runner when presidency comes to the South-East, not Peter Obi" - Dave Umahi

The Federal Government's information managers were touring the South-East to highlight the Federal Government's projects in the region. Engineer Dave Umahi made this statement during the tour and he was standing with the Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, when he made the statement.

He is the ONLY one qualified from the region and acceptable to Nigerians cheesy

Sir,you are 100 times better than Pa Obi.Sheybi we see una work.
I just don't understand why some people are supporting Pa Obi after seeing how woefully he performed in Anambra.
HE Soludo has already outperformed him too within a few years.

You can easily become a governor in the south west than a councillor in the east.
Your days of political relevance is gone

They see him their dreams every night...

They know that PO won last election which they never expected even for once so as it stands they are extremely scared of him, so what ever they will do to stand against PO 2027 they will do it.

For the fact that 25% Anambra relocated to Lagos between 1999 and 2007 is a testimony that Tinubu performance was better.

Show me one Lagosian that relocate to Anambra for economic reason?

Remember, Peter Obi lives in Lagos and only use. his Anambra house as campaign site. Peter Obi daughter also teach in Lagos and live in Lagos.

Ask yourself why are Anambra people running to Lagos if Peter Obi has turned Anambra to Dubau
The way una dey lie eh. Wow. If you're asked to provide evidence of all these crap you spewed, you won't be able to provide any.

Well, it's said you people have a penchant for lying so I don't expect anything different

No need for Cho cho cho.


David Umahi... Contest for presidency make we see. I dislike loud mouths. You and Wike should contest, in your own party. Remember Obi contested in a new party.
Re: South-East Presidency: I Should Be The Front Runner, Not Peter Obi - Dave Umahi by AWODIORA: 7:24am On Aug 18, 2025
Dave Umeahi is only speaking from the comfort of his ministerial appointment, he should walk the streets of south east and feel the hunger in the land before coming here to declare what nobody asked him to. Ordinary South easterners have not seen anything to give Tinubu their votes.
