Obi must not step down , he need to go back to Labour Party and harmonize the party , Atiku can chop his ADC and Jonathan can pick PDP ticket

If Peter Obi Truly Wants a New Progressive And Working Nigeria, He Should Step Down For Jonathan And Work With Him
Imagine the likes of Bayo Onanuga, Dele Alake, Tinubu and even Mc Oluomo advising Obi to step down!!
The fact is that Peter Obi is a force and Tinubu and all his south west supporters know this and fear him…yes they dread Peter Obi.

As a patriot, I think Peter Obi should stay away from politics because the country isn’t ready for the likes of him. Tinubu will cause so much mess in 2027 that even if he lost, the new president and his government will have trouble cleaning that mess before they start the serious business of delivering dividend to poor Nigerians.

I would’ve advocated for the military to take over but Nigeria military is a shadow of itself and will probably set us back. Tinubu has all the opportunity to turn things for the better and be a president for the whole country, same issue that Buhari had but the demonic spirit of corruption and nepotism have possessed his soul.
These crop of politicians need to be locked in an underground dungeon and taught lessons….from Wike, Amaechi, El Rufai, Akpabio, Dino Melaye, Tinubu and his wife, Rochas, Ikpeazu etc.

Nigeria need to breathe. The foul individuals are suffocating the country.

On Jonathan, this will be a big mistake if he falls to the bait of desperate politicians and sycophants. His time has passed and he hasn’t got what it takes to lead Nigeria.

I like as una don dey change mouth. You guys see it as a competition because you're narrow-minded!
Ttalk:
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

The Jonathan card, I believe, is championed by Tinubu and his supporters. It is a decoy to edge out Peter Obi. They are still afraid of Peter Obi. They have not recovered from the shock the got in 2023.
so you now hate Jonathan or what, why obidense like political strategy

Peter obi will gladly step down

he's not a power hungry drunk like Tinubu
who used Buhari to achieve his life dream of impoverishing Nigerians

Obi will be the coordinating minister of economy and turn things around for everybody

Say no to APc
say no to Boko haram bandts kidnappers tax collectors
so you agree Ibo will never be president of Nigeria

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
Think about what you wrote here. If someone wrote this about you, all you see is inferiority complex and insecurities, someone whose existence revolves around you. That makes them look really small. You’re really bigger than this person whose existence depends on you.

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.
And why are you nd you kindreds so obsessed with air in Southwest
Jonathan owe East Nothing cos you guyz never MADE him, post losing the election igbos alliance wasnt with Jonathan in real sense it was more about loyalty to PDP ... 2023 was the 1st time ever igbos neglected PDP

This Gen Z you speak highly of, were they absent in 2023 election or are they not the 6miliions votes OBi got .. when you sum up atiku and Tinubu votes you can see Gen z are not the majority electorates afterall

Peter Obi respect Jonathan cos he knows they are not mate isnt that obvious, Jonathan got more votes in the election he lost more than yours Gen Z could give Obi .... this are facts with figures

2015 was very bad Timing for Jonathan, cos North believed it was their turn and Buhari was a momentum in the North .. those two factors surpressed Jonathan votes up North and the Kardashians finished the work

Lets me tell you One Truth you wont like, should South have to pick between Obi and Jonathan ... SW & SS will queue more behind jonathan, naa East sure for Obi

OBi popularity no reach for comparison in North, if North are to choose between Jonathan and Tinubu they will pick jonathan cos he has 1 term no threat to 2031 and 2ndly North will pick jonathan cos his appointment benefited the North than what Tinubu is showing them

Naa reality i yarn you so

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.
More reason why Obi should step down, it is not his fight and also not for the Igbos, I don't want Obi or Igbos to get caught up with what is about to happen.

if Atiku or Jonathan emerges as any party candidate, Obi should step down, it is painful but it will pay both him and the Igbos in the long run.

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..
I'm not saying Obi should not try but if Atiku and/or Jonathan insist or emerges as candidate of any political party, Obi should step down, it is not his fight...

If civil war didn't finish us, no matter what the plan may be, it won't finish us, beside in 2015, they did more than what a country man will do to his fellow all because Igbo refused to vote for Buhari. Beside, Obi has 100% right to contest. I will say Gej should step down for Obi because he has taken that position before and didn't do things people expected from him, we need to try Obi too

Ronu people una like giving yourselves false hope lol


So Tinubu/Southwest didn't align with North to unseat Goodluck Jonathan whom Igbos stood solidly behind despite the whole propaganda lolz?


You stylishly removed Yoruba people from the alliance with North that made Jonathan's defeat possible...kai, Yoruba man and cunn... lol


So you claimed that Goodluck Jonathan have more appeal and support in Southwest than Peter Obi but even as a sitting President, the same Jonathan couldn't defeat Bola Tinubu's party/Buhari in Lagos....but the less popular Peter Obi as you claim him to be, defeated the almighty Bola Tinubu and the ruling party in Tinubu's Lagos, a record Obasanjo couldn't break even as a ruling President in 1999 and 2003....continue oh



Whether you agree or not, you and your conscience know it that Peter Obi won the highest number of votes cast in 2023 Presidential election....he may not have gotten the national spread to be declared winner, but if it comes to highest number of votes, Peter Obi won 2023 Presidential election.


The 8million votes Tinubu got were all fabricated votes from Rivers state massive rigging, Lagos state vote reduction done to reduce the huge margin Obi used to win Tinubu....the massive rigging in Borno against Peter Obi.....the one in Benue and Plateau.....if you take these votes away from Tinubu's 8million votes in 2023, Tinubu scored less than 5 million votes in 2023 and was supposed to be 3rd.


If you like argue and throw insults as usual.....God alone knows the truth....I witnessed Lagos rigging cos I came in for the election...but like I said...continue, its normal with your people, but God is alive, one day lipsrsealed

The evil Tinubu and his goons did to Goodluck Jonathan is gonna befell him in 2027 whether Peter Obi or not except God has no hand in it.
Step down for who ? All these people are dullards. Can you tell your next door neighbor to step down for you if there is only one bread in the shop ?

Nigeria is a useful country. Very useful where people who don't know you ask you to step down for them. In America did you ever hear anyone saying " this person should step down for this person ". In America people choose to step down, they are not told. All this African brotherhood is a scam

Stay off my mentions.

Never call me ipob again.

Anybody who doesn't support your views is either ipob or omo ale.

Just cos I don't want GEJ there doesn't automatically mean i support obi.

Not wanting GEJ there is for his own good.

You people should look for another Desperado to help you with your agenda.

I hope GEJ has sense to see through all this.

I am not the Wasiu kind of yoruba, as a matter of Fact SS gave jonathan 4m+ votes yle East gave him 2m+ ... and you say naa Igbos stand for jonathan pass

The SW you dey badmouth gave jonathan 1.8m+ against 2.4m + given to Buhari... despite alliance, is that not fair

I will just assume you are being mischievous ... how you arrived at 5m for Tinubu is just your opinion not tenable anywhere .. infact you can say naa 1m

You witnessed Lagos rigging But you did not see voters intimidation n disenfranchisement in the East .... sebi something enter your eye cheesy

Obi knows that the move is now bigger than him he can't loose his supporters now, he has to run in 2027 and 31 if he didn't win the next election's he has to be a flag bearer both ADC and PDP knows the crowd his has, Atiku has the financial power to makes this happen but stepping down is his biggest problem, A Peter OBi El Rufai ticket is what will fly ✈️at the end of the day or a betrayal of Peter Obi will produce an Atiku ticket which Tinubu will beat anytime any day Only OBi can fight Tinubu they all know it all of them including his keyboard warriors on this platform
