They've followed Peter Obi to NDC, never coming back to ADC.

Peter Obi is the godfather and his followers have followed him and never coming back .
Was your naive wannabe leader looter not kicked out of APGA because he tried and failed to be a godfather huh

newsbook:
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.

Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.

Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.

Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.

But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.

He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.

Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.

These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.

The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.

On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.

The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.

A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.

Like the one since 2023, for all Nigerians when Obi failed to listen to wise counsel from the former CBN governor who competed against him in 2010 on the platform of PDP huh

jameshankss:
Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

Was this how Tinubu made Buhari cry in 2011 when he called him expired leadership, prior to losing the election?

The wicked, Machiavellian man even made reference to Buhari’s 2011 tears 😭 in his Yorubalokann speech in Abeokuta

What made Tinubu ask Buhari to come out of retirement in 2015, so he could end Jonathan’s presidency after one term? Any other motivation apart from greed huh

Tinubu rules out alliance with CPC

Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”

Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.

The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.

“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”

Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”

Tinubu is being blamed for crippling the economy and funneling the entire treasury to his pocket through dubious humongous contracts to his partner in crime Gilbert Chagoury. Nobody blames him for losing elections. Get your facts right.

Willy2025:
This is what they will be doing till elections come in and after losing, they will use the next four years to blame Tinubu.

LagosOrigin, I wonder how you call some people Tinubu Data boys when you're actually Obi Data boy.

At every Obi favourable news, you'll be number one to comment and some of such news are your creation. You know the number of times you'd changed your name bcoz of shame, defeat, frustration and disappointment.

Both in the day and night, you're always there to attack whatever written against your lord and savior obingo.

Is this what you do for a living? Pls think of other things to do with your life bcoz this will not take you to anywhere moreso when you know that Obi would not win in 2027.

You recall everything you said about Tinubu in 2022 and 2023 during primary, campaign, election, the results, swearing in of Tinubu, tribunal and Appeal and final determination of the winner.

You know that none came to pass. 2027 would not be different, in fact it'll be a landslide victory for Tinubu. That's why you should be thinking of what to do with your life.

I felt I should do this bcoz I woke up to see you again as the first to comment on this trend.

LagosOrigin, you need a job so that you would detach yourself from political actors. They're not reliable.

Good morning.

He’s the sole reason why those NASS members decamped to ADC. Atiku has repeatedly exhibited his greed and poor political calculations. He does not have the right map to the Presidency. The opportunity came to him in 2019 and 2023. His impatience and poor calculations cost him the opportunities. This time Atiku may be that fifth columnist in ADC/opposition colors, working for the success of APC. His greatest error was in 2023. Even with Obi on the ballot, if only Atiku agreed with Wike, he would be the President today. First, he would be guaranteed the financial and physical muscle needed from Wike’s side. He would be guaranteed the Rivers state votes. He also would be guaranteed the votes from other governors who were in Wike’s side. Ortom would not need to contest on LP ticket, etc. Atiku’s greed and reckless/over bloated political arithmetics cost him all. He chose a very weak Okowa. A man who lost his own state and Infact was very unpopular in his own state. The same Okowa would be soundly defeated by Ned Nwoko for the Delta north senatorial seat.

Now Atiku has a very solid Obi to contend with. Just as it happened in 2023, if he allowed the South to proceed and then wait another four years for his turn, the seat probably would be his in 2031. Now ADC, an opposition party, has become an opposition to NDC, another opposition party, aside from opposing APC. Now NASS members have left him. Atiku is alone with Melaye and others who live in delusion in the very soon to become a defunct ADC. Obi has become an opposition to them in ADC. Now again Obi has become a social media man. They live in grand delusion.

The truth remains that Obi is the name. He plays politics better than them all. He understands the permutations. He understands the arithmetics. He reads the political barometer clearly. That’s why he outsmarted APC, when they thought that Atiku had helped them trap him in ADC. Obi was long ago agreeing with NDC/Dickson. The rest is history. The Presidency has been zoned to the south by NDC. All agreed. Now they will have direct primaries to determine the candidate. Kwankwanso will be on the ballot with Obi. APC sees the real threat and now no more sleep.

There is difference between politics and governance
U guys don't know when to play politics or do governance
U just use everything for politics
Tinubu for instance doesn't deserve a second chance now that he doesn't need our votes again after 2027
He had the chance and he failed.
I expect you and every sensible yoruba to join us in voting him out just as we joined you guys in removing our Jonathan.

No, Atiku tried to sabotage OBJ and failed woefully. If he succeeded, he would have been the President in 2003. If he waited patiently, he would have been the President in 2007.

Atiku has consistently showed that you cannot rely on him. He has consistently deceived those who have put their political trust in him.

In 1999, after OBJ secured the PDP Presidential ticket, there was the challenge of who should be the VP candidate. Atiku had won the Adamawa state governorship election. There were the likes of Adamu Ciroma to be chosen out of five names that included Atiku’s. Fortunately for Atiku, he was the leader of the then Shehu Yaradua’s PF political platform, which controlled northern politics. That advantage and the need to defeat APP/Buhari in the north, led to the choice of Atiku over more trusted people. Atiku was replaced as the governor of Adamawa state by Boni Haruna, who contested as his deputy. Atiku became the VP of the country.

OBJ gave him so much freedom and power. Atiku was in contact with the governors. He was in charge of the economic team. But beneath him was absolute greed and jealousy. He planned to use the Governors to remove OBJ at the convention in 2002. He had 21 governors whose delegates would vote for him. He always preferred that kind of arrangement. That’s why he chose consensus over direct primaries against Obi. The late Chief Tony Anenih and Ahmadu Ali saved OBJ. They were absolutely trusted by OBJ and they never failed. Atiku did not know that Anenih had approached the governors and overnight, the story changed. That’s how OBJ won and retained his Presidency. Trust was broken and OBJ dealt with Atiku ruthlessly during the second term. That’s the genesis of all the bad names OBJ has been calling him since those years.

Atiku has not stopped. He contested on ACN and failed. He lost to Buhari in APC in 2014 and decamped to the same PDP that he joined to destroy. He contested on PDP platform in 2019 and 2023 and failed. This time again, all he needed was Obi on his side and he played the usual game. He failed completely.

When they say the north, I always disagree. When you say the north, please be specific. The north central is not of the same thinking as the north east and west. Atiku may have his leverage in the northeast, but Kwankwanso has his leverage in the north west. Can he control the north central? No. That’s APC territory presently. Next year, a weakened PDP will be on the ballot in Kaduna. Atiku will be on the platform of ADC. Obi scored greatly in Kaduna, so this time with NDC, it will be a battle. The same goes to the north east and I do not expect Shettima and co. to let Atiku have any peace. How can Atiku even excel in Adamawa, with Binani now on the ticket of NDC. There will be a big contest there too, with ADC, PDP, NDC and APC. Wahala dey for Atiku. He made a huge mistake first with OBj and next with Obi two times. I do not see how Atiku can ever be the President of this country, with his poor permutations. Wike will be laughing his head off.
