If Peter Obi accept VP position, ADC will not get 25% in any south south states. Atiku unbridled greed ambition is a major bottleneck in ADC.
How many votes can the Southsouth muster and how many votes did Obi secure in SS in 2023 when he had more momentum? What are the opportunity costs for forgoing the SS votes in 2027? The SS are already positioning as a region for their own interests. Is the Southeast doing the same or is it going to be the age-long bragadoccio of "SE do not need the presidency"? Presidential elections are not won with only one skewed reality in mind.

I don't have problem with Obi becoming the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but you see that Atiku or any other Fulani becoming the President in 2027, it will better for Nigeria to dissentegrate

Finally.
Let the wailing and mind game continue.
Deputise Atiku bros. Thats the only pathway for south east to aso rock.
As for the emotional ones, politics is not a game of emotions but tactics.

Don't mind the armchair one person per vote children.
Majority of them are tinubu data boys veiled as lovers of obi, south east and southern unity with multiple monikers. Ignore them. I will love obi to deputise, learn the rope and go for presidency if he contest and win.
If obi goes in there without stewardship, in less than one year, he will be swallowed up and the south east will hate him forever.

The right thing is for Atiku to support Peter Obi and wait for the turn of the north. If that is done, Tinubu will be booted out of power in the next election
Nigerian politics is no longer about turn. That died with tinubu.

That is the truth. If Atiku should support Obi, Peter Obi will win the election before 12 noon election day.

If Atiku supports Obi, it means North and South South together with South East against South West. Some of the south westerns are not even happy with Tinubu
Obi will deputise Atiku. We will support him.
At this rate, the south east do not need the presidency but pathway to it.
You guys should learn to play national politics and stop emotional tantrums. This is the greatest weakness of south east people.
Politics is not about emotions but tactful calculations on a round table.

just leave these rats

Anything that makes obi settle for ADC is becos he has settled for VP to atiku

It's as clear as day, cos lp is already a divided house against him same with pdp

Truth is obi doesn't have charisma to float anything party on its own, that's the spine (structure) they have been saying since

He can only settle for ADC that atiku has watered the ground for, essentially he needs to use the atiku ladder to stand first maybe an arrangement for handover takes it from there

It's what we have been advising him since, the reality as it is fighting against an even sitting president that is on the ballot

I said it before that obi needs to deputize as atiku as the reality on ground indicates

Its the walls that have even caved on him now, lp is compromised against him, pdp has been virused by tinubu agents

Only ADC is the option with a strong northerner Atiku, obi would prefer to vice Atiku with hopes of taking over than gamble 200% against tinubu without a plan

The last election was the last obi would go without a plan, this time that timubu wan contest against himself you need consolidated plan
Re: 2027: Peter Obi set to formally dump Labour Party, join ADC on Wednesday by doncartel: 12:08pm On Dec 28, 2025
The masses are just hoping that Obi and the other opposition parties will make wiser decisions this time around. Because 2027 may be the beginning of one party system in Nigeria.

Despite having virtually all the 36 state governors, APC will be fielding a Tinubu/Kwankwaso ticket in 2027 (yes, Kwankwaso is on his way to APC). It is only common sense to have an Atiku/Obi ticket in ADC. Obi knows it already but I doubt some Obidients do. It will be a battle between the first and the fourth candidate in 2023 vs the second and third candidate. My money is on Atiku/Obi ticket to triumph. By 2031 or 2039 (depending on horsetrading and concessions), if Obi also confidently declares Emi Lokan, no one will question his demand, just like no one did with Tinubu. Politics is not an emotional sport.

that's why they need to converge into ADC

Obi doesn't have stamina to command a party, atiku has that

Obi has a better chance of taking over from atiku depending on concessions made than winning with a random party he can't command

sure, I would prefer obi press an atiku to do just one term and give him cos of the age they are all approaching now

It all depends on how best you command your demands, foolish obident don't need to agree to it

80% plus of the obi voters are traditional voters that have always voted pdp/atiku

It's the woke 20% youths or new voters that claim to be emotional needing messiah without understanding Nigeria political quagmire.

Btw I don't see kwanwanso deputizing tinubu, Mr man controls gov of kano

(1). Kwanwanso would have gotten it in 2023 if he wanted, it's like going back to him (a proud man )

(2). He is against Muslim Muslim especially if it comes back to bite his president ambition in future

You people assume Obi is a shoe in for ADC Deputy, far from it, Amaechi is Atiku's deputy right now.

Obi is not on the radar at all for ADC.

Here we go again. The right thing was also for Tinubu to step aside and support a candidate from the Southeast in 2023 but he didn't because power is not served on a plate. You have to give to receive. Tinubu gave to the APC in 2015 and rightfully received when it was time (hence, Emi Lokan). That's political horsetrading. The ADC is a new arrangement and a coalition. The party will consider its strengths and weaknesses and choose its candidate through a transparent primary open to ALL candidates. Whoever is not comfortable with this arrangement should not bother joining the party and go try their luck elsewhere.
We dy wait for u n dat ur Atiku down the South. No noise

AMINDA:
What are the odds that are against him? Are those odds in the North or in the South? Who has the prospects of bringing a larger number of votes with the current realities on ground? Just manage your expectations coming into the ADC or vote Tinubu in peace. No one will be stepping down for anyone in the ADC. It's a coalition and there will be a transparent primary process. Obi himself is aware and will participate in the primaries but you can continue to grandstand online. We have an election to prepare for. Bye.
If you like talk from now till 2027 that's your business.A Muslim president can NEVER succeed Tinubu go and write it on the wall

I hope he doesn't, same as I hope the current political class including Atiku and Peter Obi don't.

However, you might want to check your eyes, he wíll be returning even more so now that the opposition has been exposed as a rag tag band of selfish and treacherous old men.

They are the ones you should pity.

You are trying to convince yourself that you understand politics but you don't. So if you were Atiku, you will choose Amechi over Obi. Lol, your brain dey pain you.

Peter Obi should be named the most confused politician in Nigeria. He always contradict his own political ideology

He wouldn't mind joining/associating with those he casted in the past. Saint Obi for that matter, a man sent from Pluto to come and rescue Nigeria

Small nyash dey shake. You are a closet Tinubu supporter, we know. Who will the South then vote for? Tinubu? The North gave Tinubu more votes in 2023 than the South. The North also gave Atiku more votes in 2023 than the South. To blow your mind, the North still managed to give Obi half of his votes in 2023. All the votes that the fourth contestant, Kwankwaso, got were all from the North. Numbers don't lie. Don't think you can now sell Tinubu as the Southern candidate after being the Muslim-Muslim candidate in 2023. Nigerians are smarter than that. The South still won't vote Tinubu in a landslide come 2027. Not even the Southwest will.

So, if you are ATIKU and you and Obi are interested in becoming president, you will waist your resources on Obi. If Obi wants to be president he should labour for it and not expecting to reap where he did not sow anything ( Gbajue)

This is what you guys were saying ahead of 2023 election with the mantra "Obi has no structure " and he won the presidential election with 10+ million votes before Mahmoud Yabuku and Tinubu in conjunction with the sitting president, Late Mohammed Buhari stole his mandate.

If Obi declare for ADC and eventually win their primary, Tinubu re-election would be extremely difficult even if he trigger the rigging machine again.

May be Atiku as a political heavyweight but you see Peter Obi, he is a featherweight politician in Nigeria.

Currently, his strength is only in his region. Other regions that might be sympathetic, his supporters have abused all of them
