Why not in ADC?

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..... For those shouting Obi/Kwankwanso, you guys still have a lot to learn, kwankwanso won't do much in helping the ticket to win, he would rather stay out and allow Tinubu finish in 2031, by 2031, kwankwanso would be the strongest northern candidate because ages won't be on Atiku s side in 2031. 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.

Honestly, I see you as one of the smartest on this platform. All your points are valid. In addition, I think I like Kwankwaso's political calculations and strategies more than that of Obi. Obi has taken some unnecessary steps that's now counting against him, and I had expected that he would forsee all of that. Now he's a bit withdrawn primarily because reality is beginning hit at him.

It is not as if the north cannot go all out for you but you must have been together for a very long time and they must have trusted you well enough to cast their votes for you, especially in a contest where they also have interest and are qualified to run just like you.

Kwankwaso joining the party is obviously for 2 reasons. 1 is to disown his godson who defected to the ruling party and 2 is to expand his support base. Majority of his supporters from NNPP, I am sure went with him to ADC while he would also get some supporters from the within the ADC, which happens to be a conglomerate of opposition parties coming together as one. Remember that politics is a game of numbers.

This is where obi was supposed to be strategic rather than watching his supporters gaslight others and looking the other way.

..the same Atiku that could not defeat Tinubu in 2023...if ADC gives Atiku the presidential ticket the ADC will lose the election because southerns will not vote for Atiku because it's the turn of the south.. majority of southerns are saying it's still the turn of the south..so southerns will not vote for any northerner and Atiku..so obi/ kwankwaso is the best combination to defeat Tinubu .
Even majority of northerners will not vote for Atiku because there do not want the zoning to be interrupted that 2031 is the turn of the north..they know that it's still the turn of the south for now

NOETHNICITY:
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.

obi banks on pity as politics he really has no political bone

He relies on his mob who support him for pity sake

When its time to convince politicians who have interests and dependants he has no clue on that

You just can't eat your cake and have it, it's either you are lying to your mob on transparency or you serve the structure of criminality you are begging for

He is neither here nor there that's why he keeps becoming a joke in their midst

Dem umeh and abaribe following him are only doing so to fend on what he has become as a south east project after ipo.ob failure

Did Atiku not contest against Tinubu in the last election. If he is a strong northern candidate according to you, why did he lost the last election to Tinubu? Stop deceiving people. The people know what they want. 2027 is not about a strong candidate. It’s about the will of the people and the desire to make Nigeria shine again.

Obi can’t defeat the criminal, and you all lovers of Nigeria have been getting sleepless nights since 2023 because of Obi. Dey play.

Anything can defeat Tinubu. Let him go on a level playing field if e sure for am.

Absolutely. Obi can never fight and defend what must be defended, at that very point in time, because he lacks the innate quality genuine leaders have which is strength of conviction to stand their ground when they must.

Tinubu, Amaechi and many other Southerners showed this contesting the APC 2022 primaries even as they were aware the Buhari cabal was not eager to relinquish power to any Southerner.

Wike did same too in PDP standing up to Fulani born-to-rule imperialism while Obi chose to flee and even congratulate Atiku for emerging PDP 2023 Presidential candidate demonstrating to the world he believed Atiku had a legitimate right to do what what he did in 2022.

I.e attempt to replace his fellow Fulani who had been in power for 8 years meaning, had Atiku won, Fulanis could have thrashed the rotation agreement, because they feel they are above all else and can do that, to then possibly lead our nation for 16 unbroken years.

A reality that would surely cause serious issues in a horibbly ethno-religiously divided Nigeria that already feels Fulani leaders should be taking responsibility for the existentialist problem they are causing Nigeria rather than chasing the Presidency.

Obi has nor right today to try and use 'rotation gaslighting against the born-to-rule Fulani supremacists he went to join in ADC when he never fought for such with "emilokan" style insistence it is the turn of the South as Tinubu, Amaechi, Wike etal battled for in 2022 when they had to.

make una rest, both sides have agreed that tinubu should continue if none can't agree

Remove kwankwaso from una by force merger, he would rather watch tinubu finish 2027 and go unchallenged in 2031

The so called southern turn obi is banking on na tinubu go use am why igbo wait for externity

Mind you Obi who you claim is not strong won the last 2023 election even without any structure.

You and your master is clamoring for Atiku cos you know that once Atiku geta the ticket, it's game over for the opposition.

Power remain in the South.

Tinubu is aware of power rotation which is why he supported Buhari and claimed it was his turn to rule after Buhari 8 years.

Since Atiku don't want to be calculative and support the South so that the South will support him when it's the turn of the North, all of us will be in this mess together.

Indeed. Obi did what no genuine and brave leader would ever do. I.e concede his birthright to usurpers.

Every honorable Nigerian knows that a rotation agreement is in place that means it must be the South that produces the Presidency in 2023 after the region had impeccably supported the North to gain and remain in power for 8 years through Buhari.

Tinubu, Amaechi and Wike etal fought in their respective Parties to win the ticket to represent the turn of the South.

Obi fled despite Bode George, vehemently fighting for the South, to insist PDP must zone the 2023 Presidenctial ticket to the South or face serious problems going forward.

Obi had no interested joining such a just and noble agitation same as he sided with Abacha when every decent Nigerian wanted the murderous dictator gone.

Obi fled. Wike stayed to fight to even warn, after his defeat to Atiku and Tambuwal.conspiracy, "I will not be second class in my own nation".

Today Wike is flying high as a Nigerian leader, reward for his bravery and conviction, while Obi is grovelling and pushing Obidients forwards to go and plead his case to born-to-rule Fulani supremacists in ADC it is the turn of the South when he never fought for such in 2022 as others did.

Shior.Obi is just too underwhelming as a leader and Shehu Sani is right insisting it is only ethnic bigotry behind the support he enjoys from Obidients.


There is no way even a single legit and brave Southern leaders will stand behind Obi's desperate effort to now use "rotation agreement" to blackmail Atiku etal to dash him AFC ticket when, as shown below, he was very okay with a Fulani replacing Buhari who had completed 2 maximum terms of 4 years in power.

.not worth my reading time

Basic123:
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).

I agree with you.

Obi needs a strong power broker that will sell him to the political gladiators. Unfortunately for him, Tinubu is the one person with such capability in this dispensation. ONLY TINUBU CAN MAKE OBI PRESIDENT.

Predictor3:
I wonder why this man was so foolish not to have formed his own party long before now.
Tinubu formed a party, Buhari formed a party, Ojukwu formed a party. But this Obi just like Atiku is just not serious or wise

He no dey spend shishi na.

Typing:
Yes.
Atiku will defeat your incompetent Tinubu before 11 o'clock on the 2027 election day. We Nigerians are ready to disgrace Tinubu next year.

I'm for Obi
Naija must be OK

DeLaRue:
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.

Some of you no just get sense.

Was the event an ADC event or was it the Oto governor hosting all opposition parties?

Legitiscool:

They also salivating he had closed door meeting with makinde

🤣 Choi you badt you don finish this KOWA candidate 🤣🤣

They can only go to NDC but not PRP cos Kola Abiola was the presidential candidate of PRP in 2023 and a Yoruba man, there's no way he would allow them to dictate for the party .
