This kind of talk shows that he is directly pushing for Amaechi. He just had to use Peter Obi's name to disguise and sweeten the discussion.

Because, Amaechi from where to where? Someone that will lose his own local government if he stands for the presidential election.

That was why Afeniferi chieftain Ayo Adebanjo and Political Observer Obasanjo gave Obi the nod. It is extremely sad that the average Oduduwa man cannot see that he is safer with Obi. Ayo Adebanjo that dined with Awolowo said " Obi is the One " and Omo Ododuwa did not notice that and pause.

Why is Peter Obi ?
He has proven to not be Obsessed with power. Anambra is not in his control anymore. He walked Away from Anambra. We need a leader who win not try to turn Nigeria into his property and start making his Children and grand children our leaders

I had a dream last night. My eyes are wide open

Dey dia make pant dey wear you,adebamjo and obj you mentioned were only oscillating their personal grievance towards tinubu......they dont like obi anymore than they like tinubu......it's just an infantile attempt to score cheap political scores.

How many of tinubus kids served in any govt after tinubu ? 20 years after tinubu mention one tinubu that became even deputy governor.

In Abia they had kalu , they had his cousin they had the cousins son as Speaker.

In Delta ibori imposed his cousin and then his daughter became a rep .

Atiku nko ?his kids have been in various positions of office one just resigned as commissioner in adamawa.

El rufai put his 2 son's in positions of office

Yet you guys are so hypocritical to accuse tinubu of what he never did .

Fashola was not meant to be governor, tinubu insisted , if he was as selfish as those others I mentioned above he would have imposed his son or cousin or nephew ,..
You guys need to really sit down and ask yourself why you hate tinubu and condone from others what he has never done .

Peter Obi’s track record as a serial party hopper suggests a politician who appears desperate and overly obsessed with power. What we are witnessing is a group of disgruntled elements trying hard to repackage a non-performer as a performer and a desperate politician as a principled one.

In reality, there is nothing particularly spectacular about Peter Obi in terms of performance or intellect; much of his popularity seems driven by social media hype and exaggeration.

Okay. So, in short , who has a winner mindset amongst all the potential men and women striving to cling that office , as Nigeria President ?
I wan hear from you , cos it appears you are looking at things from a motivational angle Sir. Politics is not motivational speaking and reflection, otherwise Fela Durotoye would have won presidential election . Politics is bigger than that , and it takes more...

Politics is absolutely nothing special. It is just an aspect of life. Life is more important than politics. Politics is everywhere also. Why Mr. Durotoye did not go far was because he had no real antecedents to judge him by. He was not a Governor or had a business he had run. It's the same thing with Sowore, Sowore has done incredibly well to put himself in the public eye. But what are his antecedents ? I'd take Sowore over Durotoye be suse Sowore is a man of Action. But I cannot judge him politically because he has done nothing politically. I have respect for Sowore. Why I will support Peter Obi is because he walked Away from Anambra. There was no clinging to power in Anambra. He never made Anambra his Property.

What I find in this Forum is there is no real love for politics. I really don't think we have the capacity to love. Even the whizkid and Davido battle showed us we don't love.

You love Whizkid fine, I love Davido, why will I go to Whizkid section and be insulting Whizkid, my love for Davido should be blinding that I don't care who you love . It's like if you love your job you don't have the time to waste talking or doing anything else but your job

But who lasts longer what you love with your heart will end up saving you. If you make the mistake of using your head too often you will know so much and be unable to use your energy because energy is a heart thing.

What I am saying is we need to get rid of all our tribal sentiment. Tribal sentiment will get you now where in life. Focus on what you truly love and leave out ethnic coloration.
I don't care about Winning and Losing because like in football we cannot control the outcome of matches in life we cannot control who wins an election if the election is free and fair.

I don't care if Peter Obi becomes President or not but I will be in the Peter Obi camp for a very long time. Ayo Adebanjo A whole Afeniferi Chieftain who dined with Awolowo said " Obi is the One ' and Omo Ododuwa did not see the Bliss Femi and ask why ? If Ayo Adebanjo said Peter Obi is the One and Omo Ododuwa did not recognize something strange was happening they will not recognize what I am saying.

It will be like what Jesus said " they kpaid the prophet s that came before me, they will also kpai me "

At least he never tried to turn Anambra into his personal property and none of his children or grandchildren is running for governor of Anambra to turn Anambra into a family business. Peter Obi is far from perfect I would do a better job if I was in his shoes. What Peter Obi has is safety he will not try to turn Nigeria Into his property.

I always wonder how you people put tinubu and lagos development in same sentence, did you know what lagos was during the British era? Do you know how lagos was during jakande? Do you know lagos was the capital of Nigeria , and it is natural for investors and development to come easy to capital of any country first , if amambra and rivers was the capital of Nigeria , I am sure we will have more development there today .. please can you mention what and what tinubu did during his 8 years as a governor.. how he met lagos and how he left it , and check how Obi met amambra and how he left it

Experienced in wat?

Laolu you lost uour job andd since then youu have be under every pain and na dat ain't go kpai you las lad.

Read below a small write up about your useless experience I d I o t s.

*PETERU🧄ỌMỌ IYA OLOBI*
-----
Dear Peter Obi,

In the past three years, you have praised many countries and negatively compared them to Nigeria, including:

The United States
Argentina
Egypt, and
Bangladesh

Then you even started dressing like an Indonesian after your visit to Indonesia.

Are you aware that in all these countries, petrol (gasoline) prices have also gone up?

Does that mean that these countries also 'failed to plan’?

Please fact-check me: Gasoline prices have risen by 21% in the U.S. and by 28.36% in Canada.

Both Canada and the United States produce more oil and gas than Nigeria. Yet, they are facing the same price rises as we are.

You also praised Tanzania. Well, I am currently in Tanzania, and just last week, on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, petrol prices went up by more than 10% in response to the Iran War.

Remember that in August 2025, you counselled Nigeria to copy Argentina's economic reforms under President Javier Milei.

Today, Argentina's economy has collapsed. Their inflation rate has increased from 32.4% to 33.1%, and the Argentine peso is among the world's worst-performing currencies, amid massive devaluation.

Meanwhile, The Economist Magazine reported last month that Nigeria's "golden years" are likely to return due to President Tinubu's reforms. The IMF listed Nigeria as the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2025, a fact celebrated by Elon Musk, the world's richest man. And the World Bank has said they now cite Nigeria as a perfect example of reforms that work.

Imagine where Nigeria would be if we had followed your advice and emulated Argentina.

Peter, I know you are desperate to become President, but this is not how to go about it.

Take a chill pill and chillax! [/b]

Don't focus on the writer focus on the message..

Let them know.......

Even the high on delusions, emotional online Mob knows this fact, but they just want to make up excuses. They know PBAT has already won but just don't want to admit it.

Someone who outsmarted them in '23 elections and used their disunity to win and is still banking on that disunity+lack of strategic thinking+illogical,abusive,toxic behaviors to win them again in '27.

They can lie to themselves all they want, some even make money off lying to them, but the Truth remains.

NO MAN/WOMAN/ALIEN/DEMON can win PBAT come next election.

If e sure any Obident let him stake his money with his full chest, no excuses or illogical drivel.

Many of them will leave the social media space in shame when the results starts coming in January.

The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.

The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale, [/b]on Wednesday [b]stated that the “President-elect” Bola Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.

Akinwale made this revelation while he appeared as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."

The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.

"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.

"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.

"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.

"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.

Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.

The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.

MY own ish with you is your statement, i think after 3yrs of Tinubu administration one can safely conclude ...Tinubu overrated and looking back Tinubu's economic policies were secondary then

the primary economic policies then were OBJ policiez they immmuned nd protected us from Tinubu harsh policies of tax dem dry, milk dem dry

Development in lagos did come from Tinubu, pre Tinubu govt and post Tinubu ... lagos was most developed city in 1999, we had the most infrastructure and business hubs .. Fashola & Ambode are the real MVP that transformed lagos nd coincidentally Tinubu fought fashola and Ambode the two best governors lagos loved. he didnt like dem thats where we should have suspected Tinubu is anti people and he doesnt want relief for the masses
