but that video was in 2022 against Wike in 2023 elections Not a recent one . But Atiku na veteran in winning primaries but loosing the main election.

God bless you,this ia an old video

Dzzzz:
Peter Obi is a movement and not a party..He either runs for president or or let Tinubu win the next election so everyone can rest..

Peter Obi will not bribe or seduce people finacially to get the presidential slot So if you bringing money to the table then get your table..Obi cannot win against Atiku ADC,if you remember how much Atiku paid in PDP for the last election,you will understand..

How much did obi pay in communist LP labourers camp for Utomi to step down for him and deliver indirect votes for Tinubu to have his own turn worsening APC extreme poverty shege?

Isn’t it ironic how unprincipled, unpatriotic, unreliable, party-hopping Utomi was the first presidential candidate of ADC

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.

All this old fools people like buhari, tinubu, atiku, for don retire And Nigeria for dey a better place now
GEJ u are a mumu man

They'd have coup'd him a week after the election so what's the use?

JJCLOVE:
Confused and greedy old man who love only himself

He loved himself so badly he couldn’t throw Obasanjo under the bus in 2003 to make him a one term president, which is what Tinubu did to Jonathan in 2015.

He loved himself so much he agreed to step down in 2023, if the ticket was micro zoned to the southeast.

Kundus to your brilliant mind.

Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT

Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.

Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.

The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.

The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.

The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.

Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.

2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

ddippset:
Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.

Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku.
He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.


He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party..
Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.

This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.

He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.

Thewrath:
Then he should wait till 2031 when it will be the turn of the north.

Then non of them should complain if Tinubu wins easily in 2027.

Thewrath:
Adc was already rigged to Favour atiku!
Atiku should support obi and play the role of an elder statesman!

Atiku lacks the quality of an elderstatesman. He doesn't have shame at all. Unfortunately, its too late for him to support Obi. Obi was the reason many joined the ADC. See the wave of defection after he left. Even adamawa, where Atiku hails from wasn't spared from this.

Wait and see a lot of apc members defect at the 11th hour to the general elections. They can't do so now to avoid sanctions.

Reference:
My only reservations about Atiku in politics is corruption and the crass monetisation of the electoral process. Filter that out and I really do not see the problem with his unending appetite for power. Perhaps because I am not a fan of this so called rotational Presidency between north and south which essentially means south west and north west.

There has not been a successful Presidency outside these two regions in this 5th Republic. Are we to assume that those contesting outside these two regions are just extras in the democratic movie

While I share your sentiments, we both know Nigerian politics is rooted deep in Ethnicity and Religion… And rotational politics isn’t ending anytime soon.

This is what makes Atiku either too desperate or just politically unintelligent.

A smarter politician would have done everything to support and help GEJ to retain power in 2015, which would have earned him the rightful claim to represent his region next for two terms… This would have been his second term by now.

Okay, Buhari came on board, and he still couldn’t wait but thought it was wise to unseat his fellow Northerner, even swearing he wouldn’t go beyond a term in office.

The man has killed his very own political career.

arrogance , Cameroon the land of senile leaders is waiting for you. The youths have outcompeted you this time

How is Atiku more corrupt and more guilty of monetisation of the electoral process than Tinubu?

APC Convention: Tinubu pays Ogun delegates $25,000, Adamawa $10,000; delegates reject Osinbajo’s $5,000

Delegates from Adamawa and Ogun have disclosed to Peoples Gazette that they received cash gifts from Bola Tinubu, all but offsetting doubts over earlier expectations that the ruling All Progressives Congress’ presidential primaries would be grossly monetised.

At least five delegates from both states told The Gazette in separate interviews Tuesday that they were offered American banknotes to support Mr Tinubu and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. The delegate provided information under anonymity to avoid being accused of anti-party conduct that could carry severe disciplinary measures.

Whereas Mr Tinubu gave Ogun delegates $25,000 each to induce his acceptance as the party’s presidential flag-bearer tonight, Adamawa delegates said they received $10,000 each from Mr Tinubu’s surrogates. The delegates have converted on Abuja starting last week ahead of the primary scheduled to be held June 6-8.

“Ashiwaju’s people came here and they said we should support him because he has the best chance to defeat Atiku Abubakar,” a delegate told The Gazette. “Then they said they didn’t come empty-handed.”

Delegates from Ogun confirmed getting $25,000 from the former Lagos governor. They, however, said they rejected $5,000 from Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s surrogates.

“The vice-president’s people initially said he didn’t have any money to give and advised everyone to vote their conscience,” a delegate said. “But suddenly they came back to say he wanted to give us $5,000 to support our transportation and hotel accommodation.”

The delegates admitted they rejected the money because it was smaller than what Mr Tinubu, perhaps the biggest contender for the ticket, had already offered. The delegates shared pictures of the cash gift they said came from Mr Tinubu with The Gazette.

At least one delegate claimed being shortchanged by Mr Tinubu’s surrogates.

“I don’t know what happened but they only gave me $9,000,” the politician said. “I am working now to get the balance from the person they sent to us.”

If rotational politics is not ending soon, is our collective poverty and deprivation ending soon?

Why must Atiku step down for obi I don't get it? The same Atiku u pple were supporting and asking obi to his vice. Na wa ooo

Because people age out. He is simply too old.
You saw him fast asleep at the meeting despite all the drugs they pumped into him to stay awake!

Angelfrost:
That’s the whole point na!

As long as Obi, Atiku and others keep running around and dividing the opposition, Tinubu won’t even need to rig to get reelected next year.

Atiku has always been the biggest headache of the opposition since 2019.

No problem, let him come back in 2031 make everybody go rest, tinubu continues

Look around you, and tell yourself the truth…!

If Nigerians were truly fed up with the crop of people leading them, APC would not be fully in charge from Senate to Aso Rock.

An average Nigerian would rather die in penury than not have his tribesmen in power.

Kobicove:
The same way you have never failed to get ticket is the same way you're a perpetual failure at the polls

He is a spoiler. He knew the south still has one more term before it will switch to North turn..

Rigged how..the guy invested in a party and is ready to contest to be the flag bearer, Do you expect him to just bend knee to your Messiah?

Teenaira:
Obi should support ATIKU and play the role of the youth as a strategic move to secure future support .

No, you asked for northern 8years and you hit Buhari. You asked for Muslim-muslim ticket and it was granted. Now it's for the south if you can't give a southern ticket then wait for 2031 .make everybody go sleep for house

If only you can see an alternate future where if GEJ had won, the likes of Tinubu and Buhari would have turned the country upside down. These men don't care if the country burns for their own ambition. Coupled with the fact that the then evil United States president Obama was wholly against Jonathan's government and also sponsored his downfall just because he refused to legalize LGBTQ agenda. In summary, Nigeria would have been a worst version of the worst of Libya.
