If Peter Obi didn’t get the ADC presidential ticket and leaves the party, he is compromised and working for Tinubu — Kenneth Okonkwo 👀🔥👇 pic.twitter.com/6oAPXqm33c

Anchor: There are whispers Peter Obi may leave the Party if he doesn't get the ADC ticket?

KO: Well, if he leaves, will he now be a mobile squatter? Any Presidential aspirant in ADC seeing what everybody is going through now that leaves ADC is either: (1)a mobile squatter or (2) he is working for Tinubu, because if all the coalition leaders are facing through this crisis, even with the unity, then what do you think one person can do going out? Anybody that goes out of the coalition is compromised and is working for Tinubu whomever that person is. Period!

Kenneth Okonkwo on ChannelsTV

Atiku/Obi is the surest ticket.

Will be forced to agree with Okonkwo if Obi jumps ship after primaries

Only a united oppposition can oust the Tyrant.

lol Let's continue confusing APC.

Lolz, these ones don't understand the trap they've got themselves into. You guys did not do your due diligence. PERIOD!

You got yourselves into a party that has internal leadership issues.
Disputes over party leadership, candidate selection, and reports of factional disagreements in some states. Accusations of forgery, Dumebi Kachukwu, Ralph Nwosu that brought you in, Bala Gombe, Leke Abejide, etc. These are all people that have been in the party for many years and election cycles, and they are the ones taking you to court that you hijacked their party. Are these not all avoidable?
These are all problems that were there, and some created by your usual behaviour before you decided it was your best SPV. Now, you're blaming APC and Tinubu.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal filed by David Mark. They asked you to maintain status quo. A faction went ahead to hold congress and expel the other faction that you met in ADC that are challenging you in court. You'll still blame this on Tinubu ooh.
And when the court gives its final verdict, IF it doesn't go your way, you'll still blame we know who. Trouble dey sleep, coalition go wake am, still they blame government and INEC.

Atiku &co see him as an illiterate but the guy sure knows his onions,he did what even PO couldn't do, winning back to back with an unpopular party and they think he can be pushed over. pic.twitter.com/NYvgBLZeSj

So joining ADC is now like joining a secret cult?

But if na Obi comot, that one na who Obi dey work for ?

They have checkmated Peter Obi. Obi made a big blunder moving to ADC. How did he ever think Atiku would hand him the ticket? Atiku that will still contest in 2031 as well.

Go so hard at a man he fought so fervently for. Nigerian politics is a sham!

Hahahah very try, by their moves we shall know them

Okonkwo is a fly thinking he is an eagle.

Someone that cannot win local government chairmanship election

This one is already calling out Obi becauce he knows that Obi will eventually leaves once he loses.

Olodo man...

Wike the wicked wey no comot for PDP since 1900s, who you think say e dey work for?

Noise maker like this one fit dey work underground for Baba Tinubu... I suspect Mr Peter Obi too.

Only Atiku I dey sure say no go gree work for Baba Tinubu. That one go lose again for the election then switch party but Mr Peter go tail am go join the party again to sabotage his efforts.

That's a prophecy... 😁

He's deceiving himself..

ADC IS FOR ATIKU.

Others may not like to be relegated to mere party leaders.

If you think Northern stakeholders created a coalition they hold by more than 80% to then hand over the ticket to Peter Obi then you're dreaming. Atiku will win the primary and by then it will be too late for anyone to decamb. This is a game, and the north has been playing it for years.

Peter left the chat room!

I heard him say this when he was responding to the question the presenter asked him about Obi.

The greatest mistake Nigerian political parties made was to let governors, politicians sponsor the party. If they all contributed their share to the party like PLCs, moneybags won't control greedy party faithfuls by buying them at the primaries. APC, PDP, it's all the same. Your president or governor should never be the leader just because they got into an elective post of 4/8 years. Zuma was behaving anyhow in South Africa and ANC cut his wings. They brought him back to earth.

But Obi already said that he will leave if the primary is transactional. Obi cannot work for Tinubu for sure

Then party members do not pay anything like party dues.

IN saner climes, that is how parties survive. Party members paying party dues and fees.

Cadis234:

How would he know it is transactional? His he going to be checking account transfers or looking for exchange of brown envelopes

Transactional or not, from day 1, everyone aside Obidients knew that ADC's ticket belonged to Atiku.

Obi made that statement to prepare the mind of his obidients that he is planning his next move.

Brinxs:
Go so hard at a man he fought so fervently for. Nigerian politics is a sham!

That’s how politics plays around the world!

Go watch the bashing the likes of Marco Rubio, JD Vance and Lindsey Graham gave Trump in the past. You wouldn’t believe they be working with him today!

They will surely scatter because most of these collation leaders wanted to become president at same time.

Collation of self interest.

Peter obi should start lobbying for vice President against Rotimi Amechi.

That's the foolishness of the dumb people .

So Atiku that's vying the southern turn isn't working for Tinubu.?

Let it scatter if it will, foolish people. Same way he scattered APC by vying with Buhari, then PDP, now ADC. Yeye people

lol. Gaslighting at its peak. Continue o Mr Andy

Atiku Abubakar is the next President of Federal Republic of Nigeria. Obi should stay and not be confused by obedient.

givedemwotowoto:
lol Let's continue confusing APC.

That's all well and good. As long as y'all don't end up confusing yourselves while at it.

You'd be surprised by how crafty they are. Don't forget what Atiku said yesterday about PDP and how they formed it. He was the VP but the real President, they deliberately chose Obasanjo who just came out of prison and had lost touch. He just confirmed what people had said all along yesterday when he said he recruited cabinet members among others. He was the de facto president who latched on to the sentiment of repaying Abiola and the country wanted a Yoruba man as compensation. That's why

1. The South West voted Falaye instead of Obasanjo

2. After the first term when Obasanjo's eyes opened, he tried to grab the SW in 2003 election and he tried to settle with Atiku. He had now become his own man. Search for Obasanjo begs Atiku in 2003.

Payback came when Atiku thought he would succeed Obasanjo and that man decided to publicly speak against him and publish books that wrote his image in red ink. Politics is a game of interests.

He is still a selfish man and is the kind of person Tinubu fears. Why? They know themselves. Tinubu has publicly admitted that the deal with Atiku saved him from the South West tsunami in 2003. They worked together in 2011, 2015 to play and remove Jonathan respectively. I can see Atiku's perspective. He feels that only the South East and South South was what was left to be captured in the last election and the North is already in the bag for him while Obi feels that with a Northern support, he will defeat Tinubu since he is quite popular in the South. Now I will advise Atiku to do a poll and find out whether people really want him or they just want his money.

He admitted yesterday that he had made some mistakes and I hope he doesn't make the same mistake like his brother Tinubu by running for President. Tinubu has been demystified now that he is President, he could have supported Osinbajo or any other candidate that the people willingly accepted back then. Atiku should read the room and endorse someone. If Tinubu did that in 2023, that candidate would have won smoothly but the man wanted to grab it, snatch it and run away with it and he's been falling and embrassing himself ever since. Presidency is not a small job, they both need to rest. Anyhow, I love the energy of Atiku who is older than Tinubu. It makes me question things.

Edit

SixSeven:
Unfortunately I don't think that will work. Why? How old are you?

You are well spent on politics of the past while these young people are not interested in these old faces. That's one message Atiku is not getting. Those who voted for him in 2019 are now 7 years older. Since that time, children who were 11 years old are now 18. Since Atiku started contesting in 1993, a child of that age is now 33. Since he was a Vice President in 2007, a child then now is 19.

Approximately 39.65% (roughly 37 million) of registered voters are between the ages of 18 and 34. In the lead-up to the 2023 elections, 84% of the 10 million newly registered voters fell into this age category. Those aged 35–49 (Middle-Aged Voters) make up roughly 35.75% of the electorate.

Read the room. Especially the last line.

Tinubu the man that sabi politics

LMAO 🤣🤣



In one word everybody's working for Tinubu...



If Tinubu dey read all this News online he go jus dey shake him head say the power wey people carry give him pass wetin he think..

Smile, I pray that they will listen, but there's one thing I believe is that Obi will decamp if they don't give him the ticket. And whenever it happens APC will celebrate with champagne, because it will be finished, Otilo.

Was APC a secret cult 11 years ago when they had a similar arrangement for all contestants

Where is labour party😂😂 Tinubu ia still supporting the ADC movement lowkey. . Any political party currently in Nigeria mean mo good for the Nigerian pple. All same set of pple who stole from you are forming coalition. Let them form coalition and bring in a competent personality without history of corruption.
