They're against Obi for being conservative.. we all know they call Obi stingy cos he doesn't throw away public funds

They don't want iweala cos she'd not share public funds..

Friends this is simply why we must stick harder to Obi as the VP..

"The gang-up against Peter Obi by Umahi, Chris Uba, Ike Ekweremadu and some other Igbo politicians afraid of the towering influence of Peter Obi in the Atiku camp, has woefully failed.

Atiku reportedly told a stakeholders meeting this afternoon in Abuja that 'Sink or Swim, I will not change my choice of Peter Obi as my Vice President. This man stood by me all these months before any of you raising objections even came on board. I don't play with loyalty and honesty. Not only for his loyalty, he has the prefect qualities needed to run my government as my second-in-command. And he is popular; the masses love him. He's an acceptable choice across ethnic groups in the country. I have made my choice and we should work towards the victory of our ticket and our party'.

There was nothing those in opposition could say after that. Peter Obi's name has been forwarded to the INEC list by the PDP.

Because we wanted to prove peter obi wrong. Hot coal given to a child should not be allowed to go cold. He chosed obiano and wanted to dump him just like tinubu did in lagos and we the anambrarians said NO. What is good for the goose is good for the gender. Obi did two terms so should obiano, Do you now see how we reason unlike yorubas. If obiano is chosed as VP we will vote for him same way we are going to vote for peter obi.you dont dictate for igbos , we use our head, because we are civilized people. If this news is true then Atiku has nothing to fear. We always prove people wrong and i think its the SE governors turn. Even if buhari is the only one contesting for elecrion, the ignos will rather chose not to come out than to vote for the lifeless dulard without certificate


You reason foolishly because second term is not a birth right of any governor especially if he performs below expectations.

You fools can't spew your trash without bringing Yorubas into it. Yorubas are centuries ahead of you apes.

Very interesting indeed. Yet Zombies have been accusing NOI of all kinds of things during her periods (especially GEJ period, the gentleman becoming president pepper their body nor be small) in office. Without any evidence o.
I have been an ardent supporter of Igbo presidency soonest.

But if SE governors go on to gang up against this disciplined and parsimonious Obi because they want easy share of looted money, and let Buhari win, then I will sadly stop supporting Igbo presidency. Because those SE leaders will have betrayed Igbo people and friends of Igbo people in general.

Read about obi from the same article. Don't just pick what suits your narrative.

This is an indication that all these governors promising you heaven and earth do not have the masses in mind. They are simply there for selfish gains and if we can vote a non performing governor out after his/her first tenure, their brains might get back to factory reset. Our major problem in this country are the governors, not the executive and not the national assembly.

If this is true then it means these guys will ensure that Atiku will not have an impressive outing in the SouthEast. Atiku better take this impasse very serious and give it the urgent attention it deserves before it fatally damages his chances. If he loses their support and consequently fails to do well in the SE then he should consider his ambition dead-on-arrival.
Let him fail.Let buhari continue.Na all of us masses go suffer am.
They cant decide how the igbos will vote.
My igbo brethren,we must fight for our votes to count.

So much for PDP and Peter Obi's strong influence in Anambra.

Igbos are the problems of themselves. They have been complaining of marginalization for a long time, now one of their own has been chosen and they want to bring him down! Maybe what we watch in Igbo movies about hating the progress of one another is true? Perhaps that is why the rest of the country hasn't been able to trust them with power.

Good. The kind of mobilisation we will carry out for this combo will be unprecedented in the history of igboland. I feel sorry for the other parties in the east. They won't even smell five per cent. Those shameless governors want to reap where they did not sow. After voting for tambawal, they want to dictate to atiku whom to select as his running mate. Bunch of jokers.

kahal29:
Facts have emerged why the PDP governors and leaders in the Southeast are kicking against the choice of former governor of Anambra State governor, Mr Peter Obi as the party’s vice presidential candidate. The Atiku action has torn the South East chapter of the party apart.

According to an impeccable party source who pleaded anonymity, the governors and some of the leaders of the party in the zone have accused Atiku of reneging on his earlier promise and vowed to work against his candidacy.

The PDP chieftain told Sunday Sun that Atiku had earlier promised to use the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Prof. Charles Soludo as his running mate.

The chieftain who is also a Senatorial candidate in Anambra State said that the Southeast governors and some PDP leaders from the zone were working on endorsing President Muhammadu Buhari, since according to him, Atiku has shown that they do not matter in his political calculations.


“There will be peace if Soludo is made the running mate because that was what we agreed,” he said.

Asked if they still would have protested if former Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, was chosen by Atiku he said: “There is no problem with her, but Soludo is better. You know the woman is difficult, when you go to her for anything she will accuse you of wanting to be given the resources of the country.

“There was a meeting in Enugu over this. Three governors came – Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi. Ebonyi Governor (Dave Umahi) is the Chairman of South East Governors’ Forum, he is angry over what happened.”

Governor Umahi had last Friday issued a statement dissociates himself from a release by his Chief Press Secretary, where the choice of Obi was hailed.

He said that the governors and leaders of the zone were not consulted before Atiku settled for Obi.

He explained that yesterday’s meeting by the governors and leaders of the party was to agree that Obi and his people would not have their way.

He disclosed that he had met with Atiku and his wife and told them that Obi’s choice cannot sell in Igbo land.

His words: “I met with Atiku’s wife on this, she said that I am a businessman, that the business environment will be made good, that Atiku will make things good. That is no promise.”

On where Governor Willie Obiano stood on the matter, he said: “How are you asking this type of question? Obiano totally rejects Obi. Obi has lost four governors from Southeast. APC already has Imo, so the entire five Southeast states are in the hands of APC. The zone is for Buhari.

Asked if Governor Umahi was serious on his threats, he said, “very serious. He is ready to work for Buhari.”


Narrating how they came about Soludo, the PDP henchman claimed that he and some leaders of the party held a meeting three months ago where Atiku promised him to pick his vice presidential candidate from the Southeast.

“He told us that the person he had in mind was Soludo and Anambra governor also supported it.

“I was instrumental to him winning the nomination. We started this spin doctor job months ago. Atiku met with me several times alongside Gbenga Daniel. He came to my house many times.

“After he was nominated, he went back on his promise, he changed completely and now brought Peter Obi instead of Soludo that we agreed upon. This is why all the Southeast governors and PDP leaders are kicking. Everybody is mad at Atiku for that singular decision.

“I heard Atiku said he did not consult us because PDP governors from Southeast voted for Tambuwal, that they did not vote for him.

“He said that Wike agreed that Peter Obi should be his running mate. But in doing that, he jettisoned the promised he made to us that we will choose the person that will take the slot.

“Like I said there is fire at the moment. Governors of Ebonyi, Anambra, Enugu and Abia are angry. Governor of Enugu said he has discussed with a former governor in the Southeast that he will vote according to his conscience. He said that everybody deserves a second term, that Buhari deserves second term. He said that he as governor of Enugu needs second term, so he will not stop the president from enjoying second term. He said he will support the president if he seeks second term.”


Apart from other reasons they adduced for opposing the choice of former Anambra governor, he contended that “Peter Obi is not a liberal politician, he is a conservative. His candidacy will not sell. Many of us who know him very well know that he is unreliable, tricky and selfish. He says one thing and does another. There is a problem in the PDP house and if it is not handled well it will jeopardize Atiku’s ambition.

“I will soon come out to say all that I am telling you publicly. I feel cheated by Atiku. I have complained to friends. Atiku’s wife has begged me, but I refused to accept her pleas.

“I have resolved to work for Buhari and I know that several other people are doing same.”
