If you are been called upon to come and prove this now. People will start creating hash tag for you.

called upon to defend that comment?
You people are funny in this country

I'm just waiting for kwankwaso to join make yarimo go hang himself first

NaijaRoyalty:
Peter Obi cult-like followership is strong . It's a. National movement and cut across all gender, tribe and age.



Tinubu cannot get such strong followership without dashing Lagos money . Tinubu pay people to be his friends and loyal to him.

All these for one defection? Just a member of house of Reps? How about a sitting governor that defected to accord party?

PHIPEX:
Obi brings confidence anywhere he goes. That's credibility

Hahaha 🤣😂. If you defect to APC you are bought and democracy is in danger. APC wants to turn Nigeria to one party country. But if you follow Obi to ADC Obi is praised. Can you look at yourself in the mirror?

All these lawmakers who are defecting to ADC now are only looking to profit from PO's wind rush just as it was in 2023. APC already has overran all of their states and they couldn't squeeze themselves into the mandate cohorts hence why they're disguising now to be patriotic and want to fix the country with PO. All na lie, it's all about the ticket and stolen victory at the polls using PO's are camouflage.

WhizdomXX:
This is the clout Obi is bringing. Causing
officials elected on his banner to defect to his new party.

Atiku was unable to do this in pdp and that's a major reason APC is so strong today.

Why has the clout failed to win any election for communist LP labourers in Anambra where Obi tried and failed to be a godfather?

His labour in vain attempt to be Obiano’s godfather must have made him a homeless political IDP until Atiku rescued him in 2019.

The politically naive ingrate overrated his parochial appeal in 2023 to indirectly help Tinubu get his own turn to continue APC extreme poverty shege.

If Obi has any conscience, won’t he be doing restitution for his own role in extending APC calamity in our country beyond expired Buhari’s eight years

newsbook:
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.

Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.

Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.

Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.

But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.

He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.

Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.

These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.

The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.

On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.

The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.

A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.

How can someone who is a worse leader looter than the other politicians be patriotic about fixing Nigeria

NLCreator:
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

Consensus dreamer, wake up and smell the akamu.

You should start mobilising delegates for ADC primaries to ensure Obi wins the primaries. Otherwise the premium tears will be enough to drown your face cap 🧢

There's no tears...Obi can also be vp worst case provided Tinubu is booted out. Thats the ultimate goal

What makes you think that wicked ologogoro, land grabbing Wike won’t beg to be vice president for ADC candidate, like he did in 2023 after making a big deal about zoning out the north from our tribesmen rotation of presidential candidates, which is not applicable for Rivers State governors

Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT

Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.

Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.

The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.

The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.

The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.

Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.

2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

ddippset:
Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.

Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku.
He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.


He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party..
Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.

This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.

He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.

How did ethno-religious bigot Obi win 100% in the five SE states without rigging

The landslide rigged results that only helped Tinubu win his own turn to continue APC extreme poverty shege on 200 million Nigerians!

jameshankss:
Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

Thank God now, he wasn't forced to join ADC this time around.
People with double standard.

Tareq1105:
The Hon ran to ADC bcoz he knew his APC challenger in 2027 and he would not get APC ticket.

How many senator has defected to ADC? Only one rep member you're throwing party.

What do you want APC tinubu that had received 9 Govs in its fold to do?

Not one .

They are about 6 and they all followed Peter Obi to ADC

Femmymata2:
It is really tough to follow a visionless, directionless and hopeless leader like Peter obi in the words of Kenneth okonkwo. No wonder Abia governor Dr Alex otti refused to follow him to ADC, because as it is now if ADC refuse to give obi the presidential ticket, under the pressure of is ethnocentric and tribalistic followers he is likely to dump ADC and move to another party. Now those who followed him to ADC will have to move again

Your name is Femi, so I understand.Although it is pitiful.
Anybody who doesn't support Tinubu your bigotry infested brother is a bigot.

From frying pan to fire. May we not go back to worship the structure of criminality we once condemned. They said Tinubu is corrupt, meanwhile they are running to Atiku, nobi juju be dat?

akpumping7720:

He does money politics, use money to buy over people not true love.

Let Datti and Abure carry their party and chop it. We wish him the very best in his presidential ambition.

Meanwhile, the more ADC gets more traction, the more the heart attack increases on the other side. I won't mention their party or names because even this platform has been compromised.

Most northern governors will move to ADC at the last minute, not now.

Omoh obidients no dey follow or vote for party just like the rest do.

Go do wetin🫩🫩

kingbee90:
Very soon, even the APC bots on this platform will defect to the ADC.

Gotocourt:
Loyal Obidients, no time to check time .

Catastrophic implosion of APC still dey warm up. We're waiting for INEC abi eye-neck to conduct all elections on the same day .

All LP that left for APC go collect wetin no good, they should utilize Emilokan retirement package he gave them for decamping 🤷🏿.

The first NASS member to decamp, stating for the records 🙌.

Sen. Ireti Kingingbe decamped several months ago.

oyeb15:
Wike has destroyed the image of APC. He will not go down without bringing Tinubu down with him.

If Tinubu spend just 4 years, there is still hope for Southerners to become president.

Wike has divided APC already.

Wike will be humbled very soon, the way this his structure would crumble like a pack of cards would be so shocking to him, because the followership is not organic rather it is being induced by appointment or money.
