Why would you go to a party with Atiku if not that you are insane. Why with all your obedient movement did you not go to a small party and build it. Why Why are you such a bad politician. Why do you like using people.

Nope, it wasn't zoning that made him not happy. It was revealed that Makinde will deputise Atiku... Even a dump person knows that only a strong northern candidate can defeat Tinubu. You have to be amongst World's Dumbest not to know that. Even the ruling party know that Obi doesn't stand a chance against Tinubu, that's why you see people like Festus Keyemo, Ayo Fayose and others stylishly telling that Obi is the strongest candidate and should be given the tickets, you see APC supporters disguising as obidients, asking for the tickets.....
You are also stylishly telling us that it is Atiku not Obi that can defeat Tinubu, but you know the truth.
It is only a tree with ripe fruits that receives hails of stones.

I know something was wrong at the event, the moment obi was directed to third row to be seated with VIPs security aides instead of front row as usual. No any pictures of OBI in that event from his media crew that like publicity grin grin
Among the political circle,OBI is not really rated.
He lacks what they realky considered as political assets.
1.No solid human structure(He is more like a lone ranger)
2.No solid financial structure(He doesnt like spending on politics.He prefer eye service kind of donations.
3.No excellent negotiating skill(He doesnt know how to do give and take,fashion out a win win areangement).
He got to where he is today by luck(Other people do all those 3 listed above on his behalf).

If he was seated in the 3rd row, that's humiliation and disrespect of the highest order. That's terrible.

At times,you do see the point of those from the East who complain about how they and their leaders are treated in Nigeria.

Imagine Mr Tinubu being sat in the 3rd row of ANY APC meeting during Mr Buhari's government even when it was obvious things weren't right between them.

That would have been the last APC meeting Mr Tinubu would have attended. Them no born them.

ADC is now a hostile territory for Mr Obi. Even if he wins the primaries, most of the Northern ADC politicians will likely not support him in the Presidential elections.
Your last paragraph is bae.
Even his supporters have used mouth to spoil his little goodwill in the North.

With regards to Tinubu,Tinubu is an embodiment of emotional intelligence.He was once shut out of APC NWC meeting but still maintain his coolness.Infact,buhari once threw a jab at him.Today,he is the president.

Who cares whether Peter Obi is impressed or not ?
That he is no longer considered relevant was demonstrated by placing him in the 3rd row with mere aids to VIPs.
His destiny never goes beyond the 3rd place.

He was lured into the ADC to de-mystify and render him inconsequential.
They knew the moment he leaves for another party, he would've lost relevance and repute with the very few that had some respect for him.
God bless u

The other day, I created a thread that the greatest mistake obi made was to move to ADC but many of his people insulted me n called me names


Now it's crystal clear they brought him in to cage him

Instead Obi to call his supporters to order and work with Atiku, he's encouraging them to abuse everyone, 2013, Tinubu and his supporters were already working for/with buhari, that's strategy.

Stop spinning nonsense, PETER OBI never told you he was displeased with the ibadan conference.
I don't know why tinubu supporters want to die on top of PETER OBI matter.

PETER OBI is indeed a great man, our incoming president we greet you.

I’m a fan of APC, and I must admit that you are smart. Very smart I think. Being able to project into the minds of others (especially your rivals and opponents) is a key intelligence tool.
As an APC fan, i wish ADC would adopt OBi as their candidate.

You have said it all. The man is not smart. He doesn’t have party loyalty in his dictionary, and as such he inspires zero loyalty within party politics. If he had gone to this Ibadan conference carrying with him the full weight of APGA and the Labour Party combined, everyone in attendance would have taken him very seriously. But he and his brethren don’t understand these things

Rather than reacting emotionally, it’s better to approach this with clear thinking. In my view, Obi’s current situation is largely a result of his own political choices. For years, some critics have argued that he lacks certain leadership qualities, but that perspective is often overlooked.

For instance, had he attended that conference with the full backing of parties he has been associated with—such as All Progressives Grand Alliance, Peoples Democratic Party, and Labour Party—his influence might have carried more weight. Instead, his pattern has been to move on completely from previous platforms, with little effort to maintain relationships or build on past alliances.

This approach can make it difficult to sustain loyalty among party members. When leaders appear disconnected from their political base, it becomes less likely that key figures will follow them into new movements. Over time, this can weaken their ability to consolidate support.

Ultimately, leadership is not just about personal conviction; it also involves building lasting relationships and trust. Without that continuity, it is impossible to inspire long-term loyalty.
Re: Why Obi Was Not Impressed With The ‘Ibadan Declaration’ - TheCable by WizardOfNG: 9:34am On Apr 29
As some of us have insisted several times, what is shown below typifies the failings and compromise of Obi as a man and a leader.

At the heart of his concern is zoning, the long-standing principle of rotating power between Nigeria’s regions. For Obi and many southern stakeholders, any credible opposition arrangement must explicitly address this issue.
Why did Obi not address the bolded in 2022 when he fled PDP that Igbos, at the time, had every right to exclusively demand the Presidential ticket of, in a period that is the clear turn of the South per rotation agreement, with the SE having served the PDP loyally and commitedly for decades?

Obi fled PDP and left the Party for Atiku, Tambuwal, Sule Lamido, Bala Mohammed etal to define.

As a leader, and perhaps a brave man, he should have partnered with brave Wike, Bode George etal willing to take the fight to the born-to-rule Northerners in PDP, who wanted to succeed Buhari in 2023 meaning a possible unbroken 16 years of Fulani leading Nigeria, to ensure a Southerner gained the PDP 2023 ticket..

Bad as that show of slavishness from Obi was, he then followed up and doubled down on his legendary cowardice congratulating Atiku effusively for emerging PDP Presidential candidate in 2023.

That action showed the worldaobi had no issues with what Atiku did, i.e flagrant and dishonorable disregard for rotation agreement that should mean Atiku and Northerners refrain from contesting PDP ticket as Bode George insisted.


How can Obi now hope to profit from the rotation agreement today that he failed to fight for and defend in 2022?

This is what happens to cowards in life. The battle they fail to fight when they must, always comes back to be their undoing.

Stop yarning without thinking.

How can Atiku defeat tinubu without teaming up with Obi?

Can North West and North East votes make him the president?

Buhari won core North for like two or three consecutive times but was unable to win the president.

Most North Central people prefer Obi over Atiku talk more of winning South.

So for your mind, If Obi contest seperately, South East and South South will leave him and vote for Atiku?

Which political value can Makinde add to Atiku on 2027 when Tinubu from South West is also on the race. How many people from SE & SS knows who is Makinde?

If at all any of them should step down for another, then Atiku should step down because Kwakwanso and Obi has agreed to merge. Obi as the Present while Kwakwanso will be VP. That combination have better chance than Atiku/Makinde.
kwankwaso agreeing to obi is only in your dream and fellow obident dream who feel they can pressure that into reality

There is no where kwankwaso has accepted such when he can simply allow tinubu 8 years and get a fresh start when it goes north and obi atiku are out
