You forgot to add security to his calamity tenure. It was during his time as Anambra state governor Evans became more notorious, how about the Sars Akwuzu division killing the Massob members at will on the order of the state governor?

Majority of those who are promoting Peter Obi are tribal bigots

duro4chang:
Obi is not sound at all. I have not seen what those who are promoting him see in him. Common interview questions he can't answer properly. His tenure as a governor was a monumental failure yet he was telling us he wanted to develop Nigeria the way he developed Anambra state. For eight years no local government elections, for months schools were on strike, for eleven months hospitals were on strike. He still came on air to say even though hospitals were on strike there was no mass death. Obi is daft

Chepos1:
I believe you are being sarcastic 😂, if no then I could clearly see why Obi has followers.

How do one call this 'building bridges'?

He is yet to inaugurate his own campaign but can gatecrash another aspirant's inauguration?

If it is Dickson that attended that inauguration, you people would have nailed him to the cross and labelled him betrayer.

If we are to be sincere with ourselves, we will agree that Obi is not ready for the office and Nigeria is not ready for Accidental president.

He wanted to create the illusion of solidarity and to deceive the gullible that he is not a bitter man.

Is there a coalition between him and Seyi Makinde? Is Dickson aware?

Since Peter Obi is doing a one-man show, let Kwankwaso do the same as should Dickson. Instead of Peter Obi to constitute a team to produce a manifesto, he is doing truancy. One of his followers said he had travelled all over the world and had seen how things are done and would not put them in a manifesto so no one would copy him. Just imagine.

Obi, you are clearly not busy. You keep jumping from one place to another, attending events no one invited you for. You have not constituted state coordinators for your party, you have no campaign theme, you have no strategic messaging. You surround yourself with content creators and buffoons who cannot even pass any sensible message beyond insults, you have no political advisors to point you in the right direction. You act like you can do it alone and end up doing nothing commendable.

Please, what experiences do Idris Zekeri Jnr, Precious Ogheamara Oruche (POO), Peter Akah and Justice Crack have in politics? Their strengths are in protests, which have accomplished nothing.

This is not a private meeting. This is an inauguration of a political rival. What was he doing there? The press should've asked him....
WTF? 🤥

Mandem05:
Wanne tell us what APC is doing that you like and want them back for another 4 years??

Factcheck0001:
in your delusional mind u think seyi makinde will collapse his structure for your agulu packaged fraud abi?

shadyLP:
Helinus and Co thinks they can use cheap the write up to demarket Obi...

They don't even know Obi and Co are even trying to rescue them from calamity

Kog45:
Hmm,playing politics is by another party presidential candidate going to another party presidential declaration campaign...I don weak for una,you just dey defend nonsense.

Delat521:
Sentiment apart this is not how to build bridges in politics, this is foolishness at its peak. How can you be attending your opponent inauguration vying for the same seat and goal as you.

You build bridges with potential heavyweight that is not in race with you but can really support your ambition through throwing the allegiance for you. GSM is in that to show not winning per se and he cannot st this juncture or in future step down for PO.

But I understand why PO is doing this he's not ready to win the election but atleast to contest and be on the ballot paper, that was his mentality and all his actions attest to that just like this one. Exactly why Gheghe called him last time that he has to change his mentality but it seems stuck in just be content contesting.

Abeg, who are the advisers of this Peter Obi self.

So Obi attended the inauguration of Gov Makinde presidential bid in Abuja yesterday, could someone make it sensible to me what was Peter Obi doing in such function when it's not that NDC and APM have some coalition pact together?

There is not even seriousness, strategy or plans by Obi about his presidential ambition.

mohims:
That can only be the Agulu fraud. His ekukes will defend him.

The guys is a big joke. And he doesn't even know it😂😂😂😂

LagosOrigin:
You guys didn't see that coming ... It pains you APC the more because seyi makinde chose to work with Peter Obi over your drug baron in aso rock.


Tinubu plays politics of hate and bitterness but Peter Obi has chose to play politics of national unity and we the sane Nigerians will support Peter Obi.

Nigeria will be United under the umbrella of Peter Obi leadership

If you think ribadu was anything more than a placeholder in the 2011 election - that's on you

Obidients always stating the obvious and thinking they are making sense.

If your principal had any sense he would have learnt from tinubu and built apga into a regional force. Instead he went to eat scraps from pdp table.

Could have been a contender, ended up as an entertainer

STORYLINE:

Nigeria's former anti-corruption czar, who won international acclaim for seeking charges against members of the oil-rich nation's political elite, was chosen on Friday as the presidential candidate of the country's strongest opposition party.

Nuhu Ribadu's entry into the race comes hours after the nation's ruling People's Democratic Party overwhelmingly endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan in a primary election decided just before dawn on Friday.

The two will likely be the strongest competitors in the April 8 election.

Since the handover in 1999 from military rule to a civilian government, the PDP has dominated politics in Africa's most populous nation.

Ribadu's candidacy received a resounding "yes" vote during a convention held on Friday afternoon in Nigeria's commercial capital of Lagos, the power base of the opposition party.

The former police official became the party's candidate after two other presidential aspirants - former Sokoto state governor Attahiru Bafarawa and Mallam Seidu Malami - withdrew from the race at the primaries convention.

"It is clear that the ruling party is on its way out," Ribadu told delegates.

Ribadu served as the head of the country's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

First appointed in 2003, Ribadu began investigating the powerful politicians who populate the country's ruling party.

While Ribadu won international support for fighting graft in a country considered as one of the world's most corrupt, others criticised him for only pursuing the perceived political enemies of Obasanjo.

He also once estimated that corruption had cost Nigeria - a nation where most people live on less than two dollars a day - more than 380 (b) billion dollars since it gained its independence from Britain in 1960.

The consensus candidate said he would prioritise the war against poverty if he became the president. Borrowing from US President Barack Obama's campaign slogan, Ribadu told delegates: "It is time for us to say 'Change has come."'

Ribadu saw his political fortunes wane after the election of the late President Umaru Yar'Adua in 2007.

Ribadu left Nigeria for the US after he said he was the target of a drive-by shooting.

Just imagine the way the Obidients are sounding on this thread. Chai

How would the Obidients feel if Kwankwanso attended Apc presidential inauguration? Won't they call it inter party activities?

That this kind of rubbish post make front page shows how much. Naira land has lost its credibility as a neutral forum. Tribalism and Nepotism have bastardized this platform.

Factcheck0001:
at least obi is an aspirant unlike wike that isn't vying to be d president

U lots will fumble n when u are corrected u still hold on to that madness

So u want to tell me u don't know the difference between wike the fct minister supporting tinubu and obi the presidential aspirant?

helinues:
If they are yet to have a pack together in forming a coalition, If other NDC top members didn't attention the APM inauguration, what was Obi doing in their midst
