Obi cannot deputise Atiku, never

ChiefOloye:
People like you are Obi's greatest headaches and problems. You made politics so difficult for the man to play. Just take a sober look at what you wrote about a Nigerian politician, an ex Governor in this same unuseful country? Nothing is given in politics, rather everything is taken, if Obi wants to be the Presidential flag bearer of the ADC, he should contest its primary with other aspirants. At this point, Obi should just make up his mind and work for 2027, anything can happen thereafter, because his supporters won't allow his accept to be Atiku's Veepee, Atiku won't leave ADC platform for him, so where does he go from here? 😕 🫤 😶‍🌫️ 😕

Sorry bro, but it is people like you who have supported certain greedy politicians to bring the nation to its knees.

If you followed the politics of 2022 and 2023 without a biased mind, you would have found that Obi, very willing to contest his presidency on the platform of PDP, was pushed out by Wike and his gang. Take away that greedy Wike move and think that if the PDP presidency was ceded to the SE as expected, what would have stopped Obi from contesting the primaries, knowing that there were others in the party interested in the slot? Obi left and a platform was offered to him. Where did you and others like you learn that Obi was not willing to contest in any party primary? Did he not contest the APGA primaries of 2003 and win?

Where have you heard Obi mentioning to people his intention to contest the Presidency on the platform of ADC? If you have been following the events of ADC since the middle of this year, can you tell us at which point Obi mentioned his intention to as little as become a member of ADC? Have you not heard him repeatedly say that he is a faithful card carrying member of the Labour Party?

By the way, without primaries, how can candidates be determined, knowing that by law, INEC must monitor them to ensure compliance. It is within the rights of parties to choose who leads them and their flag bearers. If you took your time, you would have noticed that when Governor Adeleke joined Accord party, they held their primaries on the 10th of December, making him their candidate. Why not accuse him as you accused Obi of not contesting the primary against any candidate? APC candidates in the same Osun state met with BAT a few days ago and they all stepped down for Oyebanji. Was that wrong? When Omisore was pushed aside, why not accuse Oyebanji of having the fear to contest the primaries against Omisore? Why not lament that no one contested against Oyebanji? Or you just choose which of the differen sides suits your opinion?

Politicians do their calculations and permutations. They do their readings and projections. Ours is to carefully watch and make the right choices.

Those of you saying obi is not corrupt and would not involve himself in bribing delegates. What do you think obi used to buy delegates and labour party leaders combined? Peanuts? All of the current crop of politicians, with no exception, are inherently corrupt and are all involved in vote buying and giving bribes to win votes. If you think otherwise, you really have not researched how Nigeria's voting behaviour works.

ADC is telling them the right thing now: to remove PBAT, work together elsewhere it's story for the gods

There's nothing like heavyweight or lone runner or asset!

As long as ADC ticket is not for south, we all should suffer under APC.

ChiefOloye:
Then he should go back to the LP, where he won't have to slug it out with anyone.
Meanwhile, who told you Obi doesn't have $ and € to spend during primaries? Where do all the donations he has been making around the country come from? Being a Nigerian politician makes one susceptible to corruption, so stop asking where a former governor would get money from.

“Then he should go back to LP…”
What!!!
Can you tell us or show us evidence or proof that Mr. Peter Obi left Labour Party to join any other party? Oga, please can you go back to bed?

give gringory the party ticket without primary and watch him rush to ADC like a sissy……..a so called popular politician that is not courageous to face men like him in a primary election that says a lot about his lack of courage and leadership skill to challenge the multifaceted problem of a diverse country like Nigeria, anyways they all will labour in vain because they are no match for Tinubu

Validated:
You already know why. Primary "selection" is usually by purchasing delegates with USD, like Tinubu did in 2022. Any candidate that purchases delegate will first "settle" those that provide him the Billions or Trillions before doing anything tangible.

story for the gods……I guess you are looking for a party of saints, like your bitter obi is also without sin….continue telling yourself that lie if it help your food digest well🤣🤣🤣

Adc is just speaking grammar, if u r serious about 2027 election, just give Obi automatic presidential ticket if not your party wil just fold up and be forgotten

IJAYA001:
Don't expect Peter Obi if automatic ticket is not available, the man doesn't like to contest primary. Anytime he sees primary he runs like bolt.

Agbadorian spotted.


Peter Obi is not like every other Nigerian politicians that you know. He is a shift of the regular people you have in Nigerian politics who don't have shame and principles who will go all out to spend billions of Naira and dollars to bribe delegates to win primary election.He wont do that.

If the Primaries will not be conducted in a free and fair process, then make una carry una party go. Give it to Atiku, no issues.

BItt:
Let me tell you a simple truth for free, Obi is now bigger than Atiku.
Apart from that, Atiku has been running since God knows when. Obviously, fate doesn't want him as a president for a very good reason.
Also Obasanjo dealt him a very huge blow with his book "My Watch". Everyone Nigerian deserves a copy of the book.

your bitter obi influence only end in your 5% dot republic……he will be badly beaten in 2027, the musilm/Muslim propaganda that won him election in most part of Nigeria won’t be there anymore, so stop dreaming…..he has lost more followers than he had across the country than he had in 2023. The yes daddy agulu packaged fraud as now been seen for a ethnic/religious bigot which we have always known him to be, so don’t sweat it, he will be lucky to win any state outside his 5% region in 2027, you can bookmark this for reference

ZombieTAMER:
Obi is such a naive politician

an ant that thinks himself an elephant

This man singlehandedly made Tinubu president in 2023 with his greed and naivity

He can't even win any political parties primaries in Nigeria and he knows it.. tell me how such a man can win a general election

This was the reason he left the PDP in 2023, before the primaries because he had already seen the hand writing on the wall ,
Ran straight to labour and got a free ticket..a party that has no party agents in hundreds of polling units all over the country and they wants to win election in Nigeria...

If Obi was a smart politician, he would have been a VP today, impacting the economy and gearing up to take over from ATiku...
but that ship has sailed...

let me make it clear, if the opposition don't work together in 2027, no one can defeat the APC , the ruling party has failed in governance but excelled in playing politics of election winning....

So whoever has Obis contact should tell him,
petty discussion about zoning will not work, everyone will test popularity in the ring, and he would come short..

let common sense lead

Don't mind them. I wrote something similar.

They cry about primaries, cry about zoning. They don't want to do anything - they just want the ticket. Lazy bunch. Even if ADC zone the ticket to South, Obi will still run away and say Amaechi will play dirty politics. Obi is forming hypo like say he didn't play dirty politics to win governorship tickets twice.

EponObi:
Forming who he isn't has been the Achilles heel of Obi. Let him leave the game entirely if he can't play by the rule.

If you people really love Nigeria like you always claim and are serious about chasing Tinubu, you will advice Obi to leave politics so his votes can go to other serious candidates.

Like 2023, you will divide una votes again in 2027 and crypto about rigging. Just watch. [/b]

Then tell your saint Obi to remain in his Agulu Kingdom since every other person buys delegates except him. The best for him is to push for independent candidacy that would not require primary 'selection' as you claimed.

SmartPolician:
It's funny how people think that what they do or write on social media will affect Obi's political decision. When Peter Obi left PDP and joined LP, did he consult anyone? It was shocking to many netizens.

The fact of the matter is that the man has a cult-like following who believes in his unique political ideology. Anywhere he goes, people will vote for him; forget the social media rants.

The cult votes that isn't enough to win him the presidency. If he had agreed to be Atiku VP in 2023, I don't think we will be having this discussion right now. 2027 is presenting anything opportunity, una still dey talk about cult-like fellowship which isn't as strong as in 2023. Lol

Penguin2:
Obi is not just a heavyweight, he’s a political party on his own.

The reason nobody send ADC again is because Obi seems to have been distant from it.

If the ADC is serious then they should zone their ticket to the south.

In fact, if they are serious about winning power, they anoint Obi as their presidential candidate by consensus and stop telling Obi to come and contest their kind of primaries with them.

In 2027, it’s Peter Obi or let Tinubu continue.

We shouldn’t let the north play their stupid game on our head.

Tell Obi to contest on unpopular platform since he's a political party on his own

Atiku is a very a self centred human who doesn't understand Nigerian politics well. First, it's the turn of the south and again there's tension in the country and pressure from outside concerning the Christian genocide so no sane southern Nigerian will vote another Fulani for president at the moment. If Atiku has good advisers,they should have let him know that the best bet for him us to throw his weight behind Peter Obi and wait for his turn after him just as Tinubu did.

Who are the southerners Obi cannot win ? Please name them

obembet:
Bros... U are yet to understand how politics works.. do u think Peter obi can win Amechi in primary if ADC shift Thier presidency to south? Not even aregbe, obi can't win one or one in primary with those guys ... Before general election, u must prove yourself in primary...



Leave popularity, let talk about politics. Obi cannot win some of this Southern guys... Politics is beyond those propaganda u read on social media.

Hedonisco:
Stop disturbing us with this senseless and tone deaf talk about "he should contest primaries". People like you who play the ostrich are the biggest problem.

Making noise all over the forum pretending like you don't know that contesting the primary means playing the corruption game with sleazy characters.. Bribing delegates with which money, just like your bat did. So Peter Obi should go against the very thing that his reputation is built on (prudence, accountability and squeaky clean corruption track record) just to please vultures like you?

then he should go form his own party and make the pope the party chairman and the rest of the party members can be pastors, born again Christians and the likes….Una Dey find saint for politics, Una never ready….bunch of clowns 😂😂😂😂

But I think Tinubu is not in ADC or are you saying everyone in ADC except Obi is also corrupt? Then we can't trust them with power because even if Obi wins he can't govern all by himself.

The vote they voted that failed to make him president..., how useful is that vote?

Yes, agreed, Obi is bigger than Atiku. Obi should not be afraid to contest primaries with Atiku and others whom he is bigger than na. He should just pick up his ADC membership card ASAP.

Bolaji Abdulahi is there to front for Atiku, so don't tell us nonsense. It's the turn of the South. If you people are serious you will do your zoning first and other issues can follow. Must Atiku contest all the time? Must the North contest all the time? So, you think southerners are people that don't know what they are doing? The North and South arrangement is sacrosanct. The North has done its 8 years, it's the turn of the South.

Amaechi vs Obi for ADC primaries, Obi cannot win. Fact!

He can't defeat Aregbe either.

There are differences between Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, the Governor of Ekiti State and Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, the APC candidate for Osun Governorship election.

for him AGULU area.We people from ANAMBRA state like Flangelo12, LottiOk go campaign against the YES DADDY

LagosOrigin:
Obi is a political heavyweight that every political wants in there fold.

Peter Obi is a great asset.

Willy2025:
Why would Atiku contest at all? The ADC ticket should be thrown open to all candidates of southern extractions with Atiku providing and rallying support for the eventual winner just like Tinubu did in 2015 when he backed Buhari and Osinbajo.

that’s where Atiku is getting it wrong. Old man no get sense. The easier way to collect this power he is hoping for years is to support Obi. Then after obi, he can take it. And Obi has already promised a one term

Gentleali:
Yes, agreed, Obi is bigger than Atiku. Obi should not be afraid to contest primaries with Atiku and others whom he is bigger than na. He should just pick up his ADC membership card ASAP.

He will still beat your Jagaban in Lagos, with primaries or whatout primaries.

Is God not wonderful?


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Peter Obi and his horde of IPOB/OBIDIENTS wants Atiku to shelve his own ambition and support Obi.

Atiku on the other hand has a right to vie for the presidency same as anyone in Nigeria.

Atiku's greed and that of his associates killing him softly......Dele, Dino, Kola, Jelly Rufai are all too preoccupied with chopping Atiku's money.....like the battle with G5, Atiku will never listen to the voice of wisdom but that of perdition!

Obi wants everything for free so if you people are not ready to give him the ticket for free, you should just forget.

Let atiku support obi. It's that simple. The winning will be massive but I doubt the greedy fellow will allow that.
