Penkelems:
Every election cycle, we keep hearing same story.
You guys should allow this man to rest please, he isn't contesting

He himself is the one, that doesn't want to give himself rest. He doesn't have mouth to talk? Just to open his mouth and tell those miscreants that he is not contesting, that he not interested, they will all keep their dirty mouth shut. The other time when they were saying this, it was his wife that spoke, saying there was nothing they forgot there, and that they are not coming back. Jonathan didn't utter a word.

With the unserious and power-hungry behavior of the opposition, Tinubu will have no issue getting reelected.

Infact, he doesn't even need to rig too much.

MartinCorridon:
If only Tinubu's genius in Politics translates to brilliance in Economics and Security.

That guy is 10000000x more intelligent than the entire opposition COMBINED.

Dribbled Obidients, he indirectly sponsored Obi (who didn't even know). His supporters were Photoshopping Tinubu and talking about his gaffes.

They didn't know Tinubu was using them to crown himself by ensuring Atiku didn't get their votes

Stop saying he is a genius. A crook is cunny which Tinubu is. That does not make him smart cos if he was smart, Nigeria would have faired better.

Gbadugbakun:
I see tinubu's hand in this game. With Jonathan, Obi and Atiku on the ballot, tinubu would have a smooth sailing in 2027.

I will keep my fingers crossed and watch the events unfold.

So, Tinubu is the one telling everyone of them what to do, how to fight themselves, how not to organize themselves and how to be an opposition in disarray 😂😂😂😂.... It's not only Tinubu's hand, it's Tinubu's teeth.🏃🏃🏃

Cast it on stone: Jona will not contest. Obi will not win. Infact he will perform poorer than 2023.

Transfer deadline is Saturday 9th. If your name is not on the register on the above date you can't vote or be voted for at the congresses.
Membership register submission is Sunday 10th or opening of business on Monday.

NDC must conduct ward, council, state congresses all over the country and national convention latest 30th. Only 20 days from Sunday.

People are already in court challenging NDC registration. Their registration came through a court order.

We are watching. We hope that this NDC thing will not be like adc's celebration over winning status quo ante bellum case.

; Confusion in the political arena with different kinds of conspiracy theories.

Lmao. GEJ is never decisive about anything

You hit the nail on its head

Let him come our under PDP

Obi underr NDC

Atiku under ADC

..,........under LP

unserios people! I don't know why they can't just work together .

Pastorsarynzay:
Jonathan can't match peter obi aura.
Corruption to full his tenure

Dey play ! Should GEJ contest PO won't even win a LG outside SE , the whole SS, NW, NC and part of SW will be locked down for GEJ . The race will be between PBAT and GEJ , and I see Kwankwanso dumping PO for GEJ should GEJ try to contest

Klington:
Gej is on his own. Obi's presidency is sacrosanct.

Una go just talk like say no other person get right to be president
Anybody wey no support obi don be una enermy

Jonathan will be disgraced

Sonnobax15:

Senseless people.

Jona only told those bunch of jobless protesters what they needed to hear so as to disperse them from his home

You'd really need to be a slowpoke to believe jona would contest again. Even when the first speculations were high,the dude paid Tinubu a visit and they were smiling sheepishly

It's just a way to distract and confuse APC. Obi will emerge but to protect him, they will play games and make it look like he won't contest. 4 years ago, Obi learned not to reveal all his cards until final moment.

ANYBODY THAT GET IN THE ARENA WITH OBI WILL LOSE.

The long hands of APC has entered the NDC, this will not fly, even then they will still try again, bring it on baby....

Political dexterity has zero connection with economic indices.

Unfortunately you support someone who finished with a 3rdClass in Philosophy in 6 years instead of 4.

No wonder. You products of MiraKuruCenters think alike

What is political dexterity in one who lacks the capacity to uplift the lives of citizens?
Political dexterity is being capable of uplifting the lives of citizens from the level one found it.
Stop spewing your bigoted opinion. It doesn't sell to normal people here.
Ask yourself: was PBAT able to uplift the lives of citizens of Nigeria from the level he found it in 2023?

It's either that most of you do not have Wifi to watch first-hand Goodluck Jonathan's response or you lack comprehension. He indirectly made it clear that he will not run, because contesting for the Nigerian presidency is not like a computer game. And as he rightly stated too, if closely watch, more than half of the people who came to urge him to run do not have voters card. So, he diplomatically decline to run without saying so outright, but instead by promising to consult widely. There is nothing he can do with less than 24 days left for political parties to conclusively elect their candidates for the elections.

Youth Group At Press Conference Says GEJ Must Contest (video)

SlavaUkraini:
Kwankwaso don't want to Deputize Peter Obi ?

As how na ..... ?

Same Peter Obi that got more votes in Northern Nigeria than him in 2023 ?

The man should humble himself and Deputize Obi, Allow Obi do his one term and he can start thinking of running for the Presidency...

Peter Obi has many Northern heavy weights to pick as his VP candidate and he will make real impact...

Kwankwaso has few Southern heavy weights to pick as his VP candidate to make any real impact at the polls...

Kwankwaso at the head of any ticket is already a tough sell because the general mood in the Nigerian polity is that it is still the turn of the South...

So he should humble himself and Deputize Peter Obi..

The same way it is difficult for Obi to vice anyone is the same it's difficult for Kwankwanso because he has contested presidency before. It is like demotion.
Did you people watched how Kwankwanso grabbed the ndc card and cap before Obi, that's a red flag.

Jonathan Presidential Ambition Puts Peter Obi's Chances In Jeopardy

Lad las, Obi go decamp go End of the Year Party

Maybe most of you don't know the meaning of ambition... They are forcing the ambition on him so make Obidients rest abeg.

E sure me say na Tinubu send oga Jonathan to contest to destabilize Peter NkwObi

Figment of your imaginations.
Kwankwaso will happily vice Obi to position as next president of Nigeria after Obi

Obi got nearly 8 times more votes than Kwankwaso. Why would Kwankwaso not vice Obi? Be real for once.

Lol. Wasn't this same argument we made for Atiku.

Didn't Atiku have more votes than Peter Obi? How many northern heavyweights will vice Obi

Joker. When you see Elrufai, Tambulwal and Even Kwankwanso giving honor to Atiku, that should tell you he is a natural leader. Nobody will respect Peter Obi who is their peer. We told him to calm down and bid his time. Now his core vote bloc is whittling down everyday

When did 6m become 8 times of 1.5m?

It is easier to become president directly than becoming vice president before becoming president.
