Are we talking about the same Obi who, rather conveniently, beat Tinubu in Lagos?.

Tinubu APC beat Obi in his polling unit.
What a shame

PDPdestroyer:
What makes him selfish? Any Nigerian can aspire to the highest office in the land. If an Ojukwu who waged war against Nigeria can contest to be president of the same country he waged war against, then, why not Atiku?

Well said.. don’t mind them, undemocratic lots.. it’s either their candidate or no other

In democracy, anyone has right to contest.. this gaslighting has to stop

EponObi:
For those abusing Fayose, you aren't seeing clearly.

It's either Fayose has spies in Makinde's inner circle or he got this info from Tinubu for dissemination.

This is exactly what he did when he exposed Makinde for keeping billions of intervention funds in the bank. Also, this was exactly how you all abused him until Makinde confirmed his expose.

Let's even remove Fayose from the scene, what kind of meeting do you think happened between Atiku and Makinde that has to be held in secret in Niger State at IBB's residence? Also given his recent fallout with Wike?

Una too dey emotional for politics.

Absolutely spot on bro!

Don’t mind those emotional folks all over social media.

Fayose n lies

AMINDA:
Before the Mods decide to push this one to frontpage as they always do to control narratives. An older thread on this topic already exists.

Modified: Mods did as predicted! We know it's all snake oil from Fayose but I smell fear nonetheless. Seyi Makinde is a big boy and he isn't scared of anyone. Tinubu lackeys say 30 governors will deliver 30 states to Tinubu but tell them that Makinde will deliver Oyo to ADC and watch them begin to froth in the mouth. Seyi Makinde will be bringing more than just funds if he defects. He'll also be bringing the authentic and larger faction of the PDP to the fold. This also reduces Wike's leverage against Fubara and Tinubu because it is now in his own best interest to ensure neither Atiku nor Makinde emerge. Tinubu no longer needs to promise him much to get him to get to work.

Was it snake oil , when fayose exposed makinde about the 40b loot ?

By the way what's it with you and snake oil ? Seems while Diddy loves baby oil , you have a special love for snake oil ( I hope it's not what I'm thinking ).

opes:
He can never get the presidential ticket under PDP. Wike and the likes won't allow that to happen. If Obi should be on the ballot, Atiku should forget it, he will never get 25% in any southern states except Oyo. Congratulations to APC in advance

and Atiku will clear the north

sleek214:

There's no ticket that can defeat Tinubu.

Iamajike:
Whats Peter Obi principle? From Datti baba Ahmed to Atiku, Tanbuwa and now Kwankwanso. He can't just be principle?

at least he is not contesting when it is not the turn of the south .dey use your head before quoting

Tinubu APC beat Obi in his polling unit.
What a shame

I think the shame lies with a man who entered a contest as a candidate and was defeated by a competitor from 500 km away in his own living room. Even with APC rigging, Tinubu was never a popular or liked.

bazoodo:

Winning majority votes ain't enough, he needs at least 25% in 24 states. Besides, APC is strong in the North.

magoo10:
Atiku sef
From Peter Obi being vice to okowa and now makinde .
Man cannot just be principled enough to support a southerner now that it is perceived politically to be the turn of the south.

Atiku should understand that Southern Nigeria and North Central zone doesn't want another Fulani President at this time having not recovered from Buhari's misrule

sleek214:
Atiku Obi is the only ticket that can defeat Tinubu

Yes bro to some extent because the dynamic has changed now considering strong footing of APC in 30 states now. The only combination ticket that has potential of unseating Tinubu is Atiku/Obi ticket any other way is very slim.

Even Atiku/Makinde can still pull some surprise but you see Obi/Kwankwaso or Obi/other is just a waste of vote to get Tinubu re-elected on platter of gold. Obidient are not doing Obi good at all. He needs to wait, he need a delay gratification, all this hastiness will not bold well for him. He will just become another Atiku chasing president here and there.

Obi standing as president candidate now is just like how Buhari did then, no matter the enthusiasm of his followers he can't be elected infact he can't get up to Buhari's vote then before joining APC.

The truth is bitter but if Atiku and obi seperate again and with looks of thing if the care is not taken Makinde getting VP for Atiku then that ends for Obi completely. Is it Kwankwaso battling terrorist list saga now he will choose or another loose baba Ahmed?.

Election is not rocket science or being emotional is about being calculative and patience. If this Atiku/Makinde holds then Nothing for Obi again. The little chance he has will be eroded In a jiffy just like what is happening to Kwankwaso now.

Two wrong souls

Mr Obi was beaten like a baby in his polling unit

It is quite entertaining how IBB continues to earn respect even after enduring years of harsh criticism from Nigerians. This situation is no longer typical; it is truly a blessing. May the Almighty God bless each and every one of us, even when our adversaries wish to see us fail.

Putinofrussia:

Just like the rest, Obi is utterly oblivious; one cannot be overly sentimental and anticipate thriving as a politician anywhere globally. Politics requires a functional strategy and adherence to it; no indecisiveness and no wavering. You must have faith in yourself and the system you've created... This is the reason why politicians like Jagaban will always be successful.

The only ticket that can guarantee APC defeat is Atiku/Obi ticket .
Anything other ticket apart from this will only result in APC winning easily

onatisi:

If the Atiku/Obi ticket failed to beat Buhari, who was largely ineffective, how do you expect this ticket to overcome Jagaban, the president who can genuinely showcase all his achievements as the leader of Nigeria?

See mumu wey need to check head.

South turn when its not constitutionally stated.

I reminder only APC had this verbal agreement and stick with it, so when does it turn it to national agreement.

Those Ewu 3rd class citizens always have excuses to fit themselves in narrations.

since atiku has been contesting what has he won .
how many times did tinubu contest before winning?
atiku has no strategy. put him and tinubu on the ballot I will vote tinubu.
very unprincipled and without integrity anyhow old man.

jamafa:
Makinde can't even win Oyo for Atiku.

If Makinde contest on ADC/PDP platform as senator now, e no fit win.

DX one no b memes o

are you really in Oyo state or just mere distant observer? Makinde is wildly loved by the masses and would have won Oyo state convincingly again if there is a chance for a third term..So alaye,your APC cult will be roundly defeated in Oyo state,no matter how hard you try,seyi will win Oyo convincingly..

Alaye note it down also that even, Teslim Folarin and Adelabu joining forces can never defeat seyi

Habbeyy:
Seyi Makinde is a big boy keh? As how na. If he contests as the VP to his excellency Atiku, he won't even win oyo state, note it down

You dont have to vote for him, over 200 million Nigerians will never vote for one person. Its his constitutional write to contest as many times as he can. Same as Obi,Tinubu and every other person... in as much as they dont go against law, let Atiku and those who love him breath.

Market your candidate and stop attacking others.

Between Peter Obi and Ahmed Tinubu, who won Lagos state in the 2023 Presidential election?.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
To where ?
Peteru is stranded now.
To go back to LP will be a big shame and a serious dent.

There are 2 new parties now. Maybe he can fit in somewhere in the worst scenario.

delpee:

Yes, there are those but his best platform would've been ADC even though it does not guarantee him a good showing.
He does appear to be facing more problems than solutions.
He has lost out on a Kwankwaso joint ticket.
For now, I suspect he is facing the problem of getting a credible VP option.
He does appear to be running out of options.
Some people once postulated that he might end up not having a platform on which to contest but I remain sceptical about that.

Another problem I've noticed about him is the negative trend of losing his very strong supporters of 2023 including his vice whilst not gaining any supporters of note.
