It is too early to chickened out. Enter the race with your full chest, it's time to know who understands Nigeria politics better.

Unless you send your Onanese and Peter Obi to go and prostrate for Remi Tinubu, that's when we will consider you.

For now na gbas gbos we go dey give you for this political turf.
Bros you guys are like hamas. You talk of dealing Igbos while your tribesmen and women wallow multidimensional penury. You are fixated on Igbos while you and your people are suffering the hardship grin grin cheesy cheesy. Hamas dey carry out terror acts against Israel, while thousands of Palestinians pay with their lives for it. grin grin grin grin

Thank GOD say there is no separate market, filling station, school, jobs, etc for solely Igbos or your people.

Person wey sick come well, while her pikin still dey sick, has the person recovered?

One good thing about hatred is that it makes one mad and it kills.

Eh no go better for satan truly.

Does peter Obi have his own people,.. his fan base is dominated by those aggrieved Jonathan Exist

Peter Obi shouldnt decieve himself, maybe in the East buh across the 3 other regions Jonathan wil beat Obi hands down

Sentiments and opinions apart, By records and assessment jonathan administration benefited the masses compared to what Anambra got from OBI
What do you guys from Sadwaste even smoke?

Goodluck Jonathan's political support base is Southeast and Igbos.


What Goodluck is doing is more like ungratefulness to Igbos that made themselves enemies of the rest of Nigerians defending him.


Even Ijaws and Niger Delta people deserted Jonathan when the heat was much, only Igbos stood solidly behind Goodluck till tomorrow without apology.

If not for Igbos, what APC planned to do to Goodluck Jonathan can only be imagined yet Goodluck refuses to use his number 6.


Tinubu knows that Peter Obi respects Goodluck Jonathan so much. He also knows that Igbos love Goodluck Jonathan and that is why they are pushing for Goodluck Jonathan to come on board.


Unless the whole North fully back Goodluck Jonathan like they backed Buhari, Tinubu will win Goodluck Jonathan with power of incumbency.


Peter Obi with some Northern support will win Tinubu hands down because Peter Obi appeals to Gen Z voters who happens to be the highest voting bloc in Nigeria today, and this is why Tinubu and his APC gangs don't want Peter Obi on the ballot, they prefer Goodluck Jonathan to Peter Obi.


If Northerners truly want to send Tinubu packing, they should take Peter Obi's word that he would do a single tenure. Peter Obi just want to leave a legacy in Nigeria like Nelson Mandela did in South Africa, he is not power drunk, he is just desperate to set Nigeria on the right path through few reforms like:


1 ) Complete electoral reforms that will make election rigging a thing of the past in Nigeria


2.) Health sector reforms starting from himself as President by banning foreign medical tourism of all government officials starting from himself the President


3.) Revival of Nigeria's agro sector through massive reforms that will rejig our agricultural production.


4.) Complete clampdown on insecurity using a new tactics I wont reveal here.

5.) Some economic reforms that I wont also be revealing here.


Not that Peter Obi will change Nigeria overnight but the massive reforms I listed above will reset Nigeria for good, and not the current policies of taxation that will further impoverish Nigerians and make more Nigerians poor and miserable which Tinubu is currently doing and plan to roll out in 2026.



But if the North believe Goodluck Jonathan is their best option, Peter Obi should let them be, he has done his bit and will forever be remembered in the history of Nigeria more than the current President that will be remembered for bad things only.

It's now I understand why some people seems to be laughing when indeed they are crying, that mean water don pass garri.

For your information no one is fighting Igbo, stop ethnicising the discussion, it about Obidients and Peter Obi. Bianca, Umahi, Soludo are good people from SE

If you like call us Herod, Hitler or any name, ko kan aye.

Now for the feeding issue, feeding bottle in no way can't be compared to food flask. Continue to feed us, let us die of hunger, but know this Obi will not become president of Nigeria

MrSly:
And quickly betrayed him as soon as Buhari promised to install tinubu as his successor. Those men you listed up there have no character. They are all for the highest bidder, a chronic canker that usually mark the character of people from that region.

Respect to Pa Adebayo and Rtd Ma. Gen Obasanjo.
Like I said, una too get short memory. Go & talk to the SW, they hire and fire him.

So at the end, it is not about good governance Obi will offer, it is about just hatred for the man in Aso Rock.

You're looking for soft landing. Now you're accepting that Tinubu can be removed? Thought you guys with overconfidence said 2027 is a done deal?

Peter Obi or nothing!
Ttalk:
Nice one, either Tinubu or Jonathan is fine. The haters will continue to do what they have been doing without result.

It will mark the total end of someone who doesn't want to contest in party primary


SQ go vote Jonathan enmasse, we have taught him bitter lesson not to underate SW ad and he has learnt his lesson.

Hear this SW will at least do 12 years Obj+Tinubu so SW has nothing to lose and they are playing the politics from the point of strength, what is now the fate of SE

What is the SW looking for after 12year. We dey play politics from the point of strength and not from the point of weakness.

It's either Tinubu do his 8years or he install whoever he wants after 4 years but all I know is that it won't get to Peter Obi unless he sent Ohanaze to go and prostrate for Remi Tinubu then we can consider him for 2039

Bros, we wail over the country because people are suffering, dying, hungry, homeless, jobless, etc while you guys rejoice over these. We know that you rejoice in evil. At least the peeps you have supported over the years are a testament to your penchant for support of evil.

We wail because of the evil, hardship, corruption, impunity, greed, injustice, etc in the land while you guys applaud it.

We are of a different stock.

Thank GOD that the suffering and hardship no reach you, your region and your tribesmen wherever they are in the country. Una own better. . Na only Igbos and Peter Obi dey suffer the shege.

We WILL NEVER support evil government, while suffering the evil too, just because we want to taunt a peolple.

This country is a trillion miles behind.At this delicate juncture,we all should be focused on who is actually going to put Nigeria in the right trajectory.All these “he’s our brother” vibes will cause another regression.

Is it Jonathan or Peter?who amongst these candidates would fix us as a nation.Una dy use tribalism dey operate again.

As a Yoruba man ,I can’t vote Tinubu in the next election.Ive been never doubted the abilities of a Yoruba man until this man assumed office.Such a shame to my tribe and his own lineage.
Re: 2027: Jonathan’s People Want Peter Obi To Step Down For Ex-president by yummy001: 10:44am On Sep 09, 2025
OKOATA:
The first question you should ask yourself is that presently who's the biggest heavy weight in Nigerian politics? If Jonathan and Obi stands toe to toe today you know in your heart Obi will beat him hands down. It's Jonathan that should step down..
Trust me in a two-horse race between Obi and Jonathan, the only place Obi might beat Jonathan is the S/East... But GEJ would definitely clear the S/West not because he will do better or transformed Nigeria when he had his chance but because of the "good old days" factor when folks compare the cost of living in his time to the present period..

What the man on the street understands is the price of food and common goods in the market and their relative affordability and not useless economic reforms that do not translate into better living conditions for him.

He will also clear the North because the Northern elites will surely go all out for him to convince the man on the street to vote for him because he won't spend more than 4 years in Aso Rock constitutionally..Even though this is a very selfish reason.. Politics is all about the protection of self-interest anyway.

This is the main reason why they are pushing him to run in 2027 aside the fact that he appears like a pushover to them which they can always manoeuvre to do their bidding.

The S/South is a no-brainer.

P/S: The analysis above is strictly based on a 2 horse race between an Obi and a Jonathan.. If we add Tinubu and Atiku into the mix, the political permutation above would be rendered null and void.

The right question should have been: What is the fate of the common yoruba man in Nigeria after 12 years of Yoruba's rule? Lol

Step down for someone that is not interested?
Now it is obvious that Tinubu's crew are behind the Jonathan propaganda.

speculations?
sources?
Add 'delusion' to it too.

It is like saying that Nigerian coach should remove Ademola Lukman and put Kanu Nwankwo in our match against southafrica this week.
You're spot on! Imagine....step down for a lilly-livered fella who is cosy with Tinubu, whose wife has gone record to say they're not interested in going back to Aso-Rock, and would cave in to Tinubus' rigging machinery without even as much as a whimper! It's a obvious set up!

Why will Obi step down for a man that brought calamity to us, assuming he played his card well, Apc wouldn't have taken over in 2015. The suffering of Nigerians became obvious starting from 2015 as a result of his carelessness of handling the affair of the country.

Not all of us are foolish bros. Stop peddling lies up and down. Tinubu and co foiled GEJ's efforts in making Adeola the speaker. Tinubu rallied around Tambuwal.

Go and rest bros. You guys always support evil.

I'm beginning to think there are benefits attached to 2 terns presidency like Governorship, else I don't know what GEJ forgot in aso rock that he wants to go and take.

Which magic does he want to perform to undo or repair the 50years damage that buharitinubu apc has done?

Las Las they're all for selfish interests.
He is not interested. He is being used by Tinubu to fight Peter Obi. Most GEJ'S supporters now support PO.

Lets be rational for once.

Jonathan men are persuading Obi to step down for him. I don't know if you read it well and you started typing trash about Obi and SE. What is your problem?
