AMINDA:
The labour party has recognised the Nenadi faction of LP and Turaki is now the recognised Chairman of the PDP. Obi is not being held down in the ADC against his will. The ADC will conduct a transparent primary to select its presidential candidate and no one will step down for anyone, except by their will. Obidients didn't even know Obi was part and parcel of the ADC until he publicly declared it in Enugu. It will be best to manage your expectations lest you get disappointed.

An Atiku/Obi ticket is what will have to happen, with Iron clad agreements.

Atiku will get the presidency he has craved all his life. But it will not be another Fulani mafia, 'cabal' presidency. Peter Obi as Vice President will have to be the most powerful Vice President in Nigeria's history, especially in the economic sphere, with sweeping powers to initiate and implement economic policies. These agreements will have to be worked out in black and white.

All these talk about Obi or nothing is part of the much needed 'confuse them' political rhetoric. We have to beat this obnoxious Tinubu and his APC bandits at their own devious game.

Hedonisco:
Your amala imput is not needed here. Go to any Tinubu thread and praise sing him there as your tribal god that he is.

You people are irritating with the kobo kobo corner corner sense you think you have.

See frustration!

I will post where ever I want to, there's nothing you can do about it

Nobody gives a shit about Tinubu and you shouting Tinubu's name morning till night (if you like you can strip naked at midnight and scream his name) won't change anything.

Nobody gives a shit about amala.

However, you are free to continue to he frustrated.

Please stop all these hysterics, theatrics, blackmail and gas lighting.

Why is Obi scared of primaries if he is a true Democrat ?
So as far as obidients are concerned, it's Obi or nobody else ? How senseless, intolerant and arrogant !
FYI:
Your rigging tactics in Lagos and the SE were discovered and well documented.
The loopholes will be plugged.
All voters cards illegally 'transfered' from the SE to Lagos are well known.

You Obi is already a spent force.
His tyrannical and tribalism have made all non-Ibo members of obidient movement to flee and he is left with only his prejudiced and bigotry Ibo and Datti who cannot win his polling unit.
The protest votes he got from Christians in the SW, SS and NC in 2023 for fear of the muslim-muslim ticket are no longer available to him because the fear has dissipated and turned out to be unfounded.
All the Yoruba that voted for him have since turned their backs on him thanks to his toxic and vindictive supporters.
No Hausa or Fulani will ever trust him because of his affiliation with the IPOB.
He is left with only his coterie of obidients andvIPOB.

So when making your vote permutations, stop deluding yourself using the 2023 six million votes as your baseline.

Aluwe, ojabo si gutter....ewa wo, koto lo.

There will always be signs, and the signs are not only visible. They stink.

You people can pretend all you want to purporting to play the ostrich and attempting to hide your big head behind your tiny fingers.... In a failed bid to rewrite history, but any such kobo kobo sense will be fiercely resisted. Any revisionism will be vehemently rejected.

Supoort your Tinubu with your full chest now. Don't pretend to sit on the fence because you're not fooling anyone.

You fall inside gutter, and the dirt and stench are all over you and your kind, regardless of how much try to deny.

DomPerignon:
His support has greatly withered since the last elections and he is left with his tribal and IPOB demented mob who only dare make noise online as their nuisance levels will not be tolerated irl like in 2023.

Obi is a spent force.

A one hit wonder.

A foluke one night stand.

Absolutely. Yorubas youths who voted healthily for him in 2023 have seen through him. He is now a turnoff to many in the SW.

Middle belt he will fare worse than 2023 to see a significant drop in support. Only the SE, because of ethnocentric sentiments, he can count on to do well.

God bless the bot!

That's what it is. Deep frustration, bile and hateful bitterness against others they blame (mainly Tinubu) for preventing the emergence of an Igbo Presidency they are so desperate for.

Atiku too stands in their way and so too the entire gang of Northern supremacists and born-to-rule hegemonists.

Yet they dare not attack those ones. It is Tinubu and Yorubas they foam at the mouth against daily and reserve their most toxic bile for.

Tears loading for them in 2027. They know it as well hence the reason they are literally snapping off the heads of others online they believe to be Tinubu fans.

How many handle from one person who only life is on nairaland about obi.
The 166 Christians abducted in kaduna will vote Yoruba president because they don't have sense

you no reach up to 1% of the intellect of the people you are fortunate to have engagement here.

You go get sense one day through free nairaland online education

Rubbish…one of the most delusional politician is Obi. He should stop looking for free ticket and go for the primaries. ADC that was formed to give Atiku ticket should now be handed over to Obi as how now? He should better go back to LP

You people are just irrationally emotional.

Did anyone force Peter Obi to join ADC? Make una dey save us from this una boring epistle jare

naptu2:

Well-done. Going around attacking perceived enemies online, abusively and without restraint, is their nauseating character.

They are so invested in their bigoted and ethnocentric project to the extent many have lost their mind and no longer recognise the concept of democracy.

The way he barked at you, believing you a Tinubu supporter, shows how they wish to brainwash the world to believe support for Tinubu is criminal and evil while supporting their own candidate is virtuous and a duty for the rest of us. Very odious fascists.

Burob:
Why should he waste his time with cho cho cho empty barrels?

He should not debate a man who decidedly defeated him in the state he ruled?, I understand his fear. Even sef, your shame dey shame me, but i suspect you still dey chop mama thank you for your parents house at 35 years.

Wetin pain me pass for these guys be say even Chioma wey we been dey cool with ourselves before 2023 elections, immediately PBAT was declared winner like dis, dis girl block me everywhere cos the matter pain am enter bone and I was like, so na like dis some people be? They are so tribalistic yet gaslighting others.

avalancheMedia:
ADC Is About to Implode and Peter Obi Holds All the Cards

The opposition's 2027 dream is crumbling. And the architects of this disaster have names.

Let me tell you what just happened. The Federal High Court in Abuja slammed the gavel and declared Senator Nenadi Usman the legitimate leader of the Labour Party. Julius Abure, the man who overstayed his welcome and turned the party into his personal fiefdom, is officially finished. INEC has been ordered to recognize reality.

But this isn't just about Labour Party housekeeping. This is about the survival of Nigeria's opposition. This is about whether we get a real contest in 2027 or another coronation for Bola Tinubu.

Peter Obi just got handed a nuclear option. And the greedy, shortsighted politicians running the ADC are about to find out what happens when you push a man with options into a corner.

## The Zoning Betrayal

Let's call it what it is. The ADC is trying to rig its own primary before it even starts.

State chairmen are out there singing the same song. No zoning. Open primary. Let the best man win. We all know what that means. Let the man with the deepest pockets win. Let the man who has been buying politicians for three decades win. Let Atiku Abubakar have his seventh shot at a presidency he will never win.

Peter Obi saw this coming. He warned them publicly. He called the coalition unstable. He said the agreements were unsigned. He demanded they settle the zoning question before it tears everything apart.

What did the ADC do? They told him to make up his mind. They said zoning is not on the table. They treated the man who delivered over six million votes in 2023 like an inconvenience.

The arrogance is breathtaking. The stupidity is criminal.

Obi's Masterstroke

Everyone thought Peter Obi burned his bridges when he showed up at Nike Lake Resort on December 31st to declare for the ADC. Everyone thought he had abandoned Labour Party and thrown in his lot with Atiku and the recycled politicians club.

Everyone was wrong.

Listen to what Obi actually said that day. I am not decamping. I have been with this coalition from the go.

He joined a coalition. He did not join a party. He did not tear up his Labour Party membership card. He kept his options open while everyone assumed he had closed them.

That is not desperation. That is chess while everyone else is playing draughts.

Now look at the board. Nenadi Usman, a woman who stood with Obi against Abure's tyranny, is now the legally recognized leader of Labour Party. Governor Alex Otti, the man who hosted the meeting that removed Abure, is now Labour Party's National Leader. Datti Baba Ahmed, Obi's running mate who stuck with Labour Party while others fled, is positioning himself within the structure.

The Labour Party didn't collapse when Obi walked toward the ADC. It reorganized under people loyal to him. It waited. And now it has legal backing from the highest courts in the land.

Peter Obi has a political insurance policy that Atiku Abubakar cannot buy, cannot destroy, and cannot ignore.

The Prophetic Warning

Hakeem Baba Ahmed is not a man given to wild predictions. When he speaks, smart people listen. This week he went on Channels Television and delivered a verdict that should terrify everyone in the ADC.

The ADC will bleed after its convention because almost certainly former Vice President Atiku will win the ticket, and when he does, some people will walk out. It will be severely damaged.

Some people will walk out.

Stop pretending you don't know who he is talking about. Peter Obi will walk. Rotimi Amaechi will walk. Every southerner who joined this coalition believing in the promise of power rotation will walk. And they will take their supporters, their structures, and their votes with them.

The ADC will be left with Atiku Abubakar, his money, his baggage, and his proven ability to lose elections.

The 2023 Crime Scene

We need to talk about what happened in 2023 because the same criminals are about to commit the same crime.

Bola Tinubu won the presidency with 36.61 percent of the vote. Barely more than a third of Nigerians who voted chose him. He didn't win. The opposition lost.

Atiku Abubakar got 29.07 percent. Peter Obi got 25.40 percent. Add those numbers together. That is 54 percent. That is a landslide victory for the opposition if they had been united. Instead they split the vote and handed Tinubu the keys to Aso Rock.

The whole point of the ADC coalition was to prevent this from happening again. United we stand. One candidate. One platform. One mission to remove Tinubu.

But here we are, watching the same script play out. Atiku wants the ticket. The ADC machinery is clearing the path for him. Peter Obi is being told to fall in line or get out. The southerners who believed in this coalition are being told that zoning doesn't matter, that competence should decide, that the best man should win.

We know how this ends. Atiku gets the ADC ticket. Obi goes back to Labour Party. The opposition splits again. Tinubu wins again. Nigeria loses again.

The only people who can't see this coming are the ones causing it.

Atiku's Curse

Someone needs to say this plainly. Atiku Abubakar cannot win a presidential election. He has proven this six times. He is about to prove it a seventh time.

This man has been running for president since 1993. Datti Baba Ahmed said it perfectly. When I was doing my NYSC, Baba Atiku was an aspirant. An entire generation of Nigerians has grown up watching this man lose.

He lost to Obasanjo. He lost to Yar'Adua. He lost to Buhari. He lost to Tinubu. He has crossed from PDP to APC to PDP to ADC chasing the same dream that keeps slipping away.

And every time he loses, he takes the opposition down with him.

The APC knows how to beat Atiku. They have beaten him twice. They know his playbook. They know his weaknesses. They know which of his allies can be bought. They know exactly where to hit him.

Datti Baba Ahmed warned the ADC. If you bring out Atiku, they know how to work against Atiku. You need a candidate they can't understand, they don't know where to catch. That is how to win an election.

Peter Obi was that candidate in 2023. He came from nowhere and won Lagos State in Tinubu's own backyard. He mobilized millions of young Nigerians who had given up on politics. He built a movement that scared the establishment so badly they had to rig the results in broad daylight.

The ADC has a candidate the APC fears. They are about to throw him away for a candidate the APC has already defeated twice.

This is not politics. This is self sabotage.

The Obidient Army

The ADC seems to think that if they give Atiku the ticket, Peter Obi's supporters will simply transfer their loyalty. They seem to think the Obidient Movement was about Labour Party, not about Obi himself.

They are dangerously wrong.

Dr Yunusa Tanko, National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, has made the position clear. Wherever he goes, that's where we are going.

Those six million voters in 2023 didn't vote for a party logo. They voted for Peter Obi. They voted for a new kind of politics. They voted against the exact kind of recycled, transactional, money bag politics that Atiku Abubakar represents.

If Obi walks back to Labour Party, they walk with him. If Obi tells them ADC betrayed the South, they will believe him. If Obi says Atiku and his cronies care more about power than about Nigeria, they will remember every dismissive statement, every call to abandon zoning, every arrogant assumption that their votes could be inherited.

The Obidient Movement is not a political party. It is a political insurgency. And you cannot buy an insurgency. You cannot bribe it. You cannot tell it to make up its mind and expect it to comply.

The Verdict

The ADC has one choice left. Zone the ticket to the South. Honor the agreement that brought this coalition together. Give Peter Obi or another credible southern candidate the nomination. Go into 2027 united and give Tinubu the fight of his political life.

Or they can do what Nigerian politicians always do. Let greed win. Let Atiku's money talk. Let the convention become an auction. Watch Peter Obi walk away. Watch the coalition collapse. Watch the opposition split. Watch Tinubu celebrate.

Every day they delay on zoning, they are writing Tinubu's second term into existence. Every statement dismissing Obi's concerns is a gift to the APC. Every move toward an open primary is a step toward opposition suicide.

The Labour Party is ready. The court has spoken. Nenadi Usman is in charge. Alex Otti is leading. The structures are intact. Peter Obi has somewhere to go.

The question is not whether Obi has options. He clearly does. The question is whether the ADC will give him a reason to stay.

I have watched Nigerian opposition politics for years. I have seen them snatch defeat from the jaws of victory over and over again. I have seen brilliant opportunities wasted by ego, greed, and shortsightedness.

What is happening in the ADC right now is the most predictable disaster in Nigerian political history. Everyone can see it coming. Everyone knows how it ends. And yet the people in charge seem determined to drive off the cliff anyway.

When Tinubu wins in 2027, remember this moment. Remember who refused to zone. Remember who told Peter Obi to make up his mind. Remember who chose Atiku's seventh failed campaign over a united opposition.

History will judge them. Nigerians will judge them. And they will have no one to blame but themselves.

Yeue people. Once Obi failed to beat Atiku, it means rigging.
You boasted about the number of votes Obi got and wentvsilent on the once Atiku got
