The children are taking over. We will accept Seyi Tinubu in 2031 but not now. We Yorubas are very sensitive. People are still hostile with Obasa for manipulating his son to become the giant Agege LGA Chairman 🤣
The list is not complete, they forgot to capture Wike's son

Yes, including you... Legally, there's nothing wrong with this, just that Nigeria always seems to be different when it comes to things like this.

The routine is very clear.
Send their children abroad to get the best education while their poor supporters and hallelujah boys are trapped on numerous strikes and poor educational facilities.
Their children will campaign with their parents loot and take over.
In Edo State, Igbinedion family are spread in politics. Lucky Igbinedion was a local Government chairman and Governor for 8years. His brother was a local Government chairman. His younger sister is contesting for HORs to be a 3 times member. The niece is also Edo State House of Assembly member.
Keep on supporting them while they positioned themselves and family members.

It will be difficult to defeat APC in election in Nigeria because it’s actually a party formed by two majority conservative region to fight a nationalist party. The only way APC can be defeated right now is if the CPC block which actually represent the Northern interest in the party betrays the Yoruba ACN by 2027 but if not such happens, by 2031 APC is retaining power by all means. Conservatives are taking over the world. Other region should build their own political party’s and seek alliances not looking to jump up and down.
Do I hear you say two conservative regions.. I can only see one here and the real conservatives the South East and South south are missing.

In many opinions the South West is the most liberal part followed by North Central. When south West was the opposition for over 30 years the South East and North didn't make it two ways region that can rule for life.

You can only rule your people you can't rule others.

Hug the truth.

This is why Peter Obi is hated by the elites, both north, east, south and west.....
After looting they handover the baton to their children to continue......

What's the hope of you and me the ordinary citizens..... We must learn..

One of the most striking aspects of Peter Obi and his movement is the unusual absence of financial inducement

A feature that sharply contrasts with the entrenched norms of Nigerian politics. In a system where monetary influence often dictates loyalty and turnout, his approach stands out as both unconventional and disruptive.

This posture is not accidental; it reflects a personal and political brand built over time. Known for his frugality in public office and his consistent advocacy for responsible governance, he has cultivated an image of discipline and restraint in the use of resources. That reputation has become a cornerstone of his appeal, reinforcing the perception that his ambition is anchored more in reform than in the pursuit of power for its own sake.

He has repeatedly challenged the status quo, openly declaring that he does not distribute money to secure support, manipulate institutions, or influence electoral outcomes. More boldly, he has invited anyone—voters, officials, even members of the judiciary—who claims to have received money from him to come forward, pledging to withdraw from the race if such allegations are proven.

This raises a compelling political question: how has he managed to build such widespread popularity and grassroots momentum without relying on the traditional machinery of financial patronage? The answer may lie in the credibility of his personal character, which has helped inspire a following that is driven less by immediate gain and more by a shared belief in accountability, governance, and the possibility of a different political culture.
His son.. you didn’t show us a picture of his son at least, we are aware that Tinubu’s son Seyi is the one in charge of the City Boy Movement.. what can we say about Obi’s son ?

Re: Children Of Nigerian Politicians That Are Contesting Or Holding Political Office by PDPdestroyer(m): 9:12am On May 05
There’s no Seyi Tinubu there, so Obidients won’t have any problems with this list

The same way Americans were daft, when George H. W. Bush 1989 – 1993 and George W. Bush 2001 – 2009 were Presidents of the US within 8 years. Or perhaps you didn't know that Pierre Trudeau and his son were Prime Minister of Canada at different times, but according to you, the Canadians are also daft.

You've left out a big number of people I personally know who are kids of former politicians

Ibori daughter is a serving federal legislator
Dapo Lam Adesina is actively in politics
Akeredolu son Rotimi is actively in politics and had appointments under his father

The list of those I know is very long

You didn't include Dave Umahi son who is the incoming local government chairman of Ohaozara LGA Ebonyi State, and Governor Martin Elechi son who is a serving commissioner in Ebonyi State, and the incoming local government chairman of Ikwo LGA, the younger brother of Her excellency wife of the Ebonyi State governor.

what about Ochendu of Abia and his Son the immediate past speaker of the state assembly
Re: Children Of Nigerian Politicians That Are Contesting Or Holding Political Office by franchasng: 9:30am On May 05
If you check, the only Igbo state practicing this rubbish system of corruption is Ebonyi state where the people allowed Dave Umahi to enthrone himself as the Tinubu of Ebonyi state in tandem with Anyim Pius Anyim.


This can hardly happen in Igbo states like Imo, Anambra, etc because Igbos hate such and we are individualistic in nature, we don't worship a political figure because we believe that whatever you know, there are plenty others that know more than you so you cannot lord yourself over others and succeed for long in Igbo land except you are doing very well and being very cautious

After their papa don rule una finish, their sons and daughters will take over. You will be trapped for generations; that's why you see people selling their properties in Nigeria to relocate abroad.

During and after the civil war, our parents helped yours by securing the properties they left behind when they returned to the Southwest. Because of that, many of you were able to resettle more easily. We do not deserve the degrading treatment coming from some of you. We understand your frustrations..😂😂😂

We are talking about how politicians squandered our common wealth and handover what's left to their children and you are here talking about what was left before and after civil war......

Politicians are friends in looting, the losers are the common man that their collective wealth are being stolen...

Who told you I'm even from east Abi u want us to do video call?

We are all being exploited and tribalism and hatred is sold to us masses to keep us divided.....

People support Obi because that's the kind of prudent, charismatic leader they see outside Nigeria and they dream of.

Abeg carry your tribalism go express....
