Yes, unfortunately for you, their governors are APC governors, APC doesn't need to win those places, just 10% is enough, LP will dilute PDP votes, sharing it, a great advantage to APC, you guys don't think, all na emotions, don't worry, it is almost February.

Don't worry. It's almost time.

Jack500:
A presidential candidate of a party with 21 governors out of 36, also the ruling party, has the least chance? Hatred has damaged most of u, don't worry, your brain will start working in February

If they ask you to count the 21 states you are claiming, you will go
Cross River
Ebonyi
Imo

Beware of heart attack.

NaijaCuzin:
where have you been boss?

I have been around, they keep banning my account after ever topic I post.

Failures

duro4real:
Amen, the incoming president has spoken!

Tinubu doesn't stand any good chances of winning. He has the least chance among the 4 top contenders.

What hypocrisy, why congratulate a religious group which you cannot find a single member of the faith from among 120 million to stand on your party ticket?

I hate hypocrites.

richmond500:
i must have given u ipob piglets sleepless nights.

i dont vote base on emotions, u prick.

PO is the only passionate devil among the three and thats why i am supporting him, i am still an APC supporter in state politics.

Please vote PO on the national level and vote APC in the state polls. I may vote PDP in my state too.

We both want the best, a strong national level politics will save our lives first before anything.

Dont even know why PDP has been abusing APC all these while, both of them have messed up the country Nigeria. They should give us chance to run a good government.

Let them entertain us more.

TROUBLE IN ABUJA

The Cabals paid ASA huge amount of money to perform in the ongoing Relaunch of NNPC.
Their Buhari was there and the cabals were assured by ASA Manager that they will get a "patriotic song from ASA that will make Mr President happy".
Lo and Behold, ASA mounted the stage without greeting or acknowledging the President who was present. No exchange of pleasantries or any form of smiles, she scattered the event and gave her audience shock with "THERE IS FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN".
As I type now, her manager is on the run now as the Cabal are hunting after him. Buhari face expressed the shock of direct message from ASA and currently the planning committee members are accused to had planned the "insult against the president with the opposition"

It is rare for the people of the East, (not the politicians) to support one man and if they do you merit it.

I agree.

SATURDAY BREAKFAST with TONY OKOROJI

THE 30 BISHOPS OF CONTROVERSY!

Much of the discussions and cartoons on many Nigerian social media platforms in the last couple of days have been about some purported bishops and clergymen said to have stormed the unveiling in Abuja of Kashim Shettima, the running mate to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Presidential candidate of the ruling APC in the 2023 Nigerian general elections.

You would think that with the many problems Nigerians are desperately wrestling with, the main discussions today would be about the exploding national debt on the neck of Nigeria; the 5-month-old ASUU strike keeping hundreds of thousands of our young and vulnerable citizens out of school and in the devil’s workshop; the unprecedented collapse of the national security system turning every Nigerian into an imminent candidate for kidnapping, banditry, untimely and violent death.

In a week that a former Accountant General of the Federation was ordered to be remanded in prison custody for the alleged stealing of the uncountable amount of more than N109 billion naira, you would think that Nigerians will be talking about the corruption that has run amok; under a government that pledged that if elected, would deal with corruption; the galloping inflation that has wrecked the livelihood of many Nigerian families, the rapidly dwindling value of the national currency, the dizzying unemployment that has rendered many Nigerian citizens hopeless and maybe, the total collapse of morality and values in the country.

In a week that two of Nigeria’s major airlines, Aero-Contractors and Dana Air, packed up business and lost their wings and the price of diesel is destroying businesses left and right, the discussions have been about who recruited the “unknown” bishops, where they came from, what churches and dioceses they represent, how they were dressed, how they all arrived at the same time and dispersed in the same direction and more and more and more. Why?

What happened at the Musa Yar’ Adua Centre in Abuja during the week was in every sense, a political comedy of errors. It was a self-inflicted injury. In football parlance, it was an own goal. The APC team was playing with two right footed central defenders and to compensate, they had to pay too much attention to the left side of defence, leaving a gaping hole on the right side and the result was a devastating goal!

I very well remember 1993 when the SDP fielded a presidential ticket of Moshood Abiola and Babagana Kingibe, both Moslems and won the support of most Nigerians. This writer supported that ticket 100% and campaigned for the ticket. There are those who today refer to that event to justify the Tinubu/Shettima ticket. They make a very big mistake. Bola Tinubu is not Moshood Abiola and 2023 is not 1993. Moshood Abiola was a towering figure who had built strong bridges across the length and breath of Nigeria and enjoyed the love of Nigerians. By 2023, 30 years would have passed since that historic event. In 1993, there were no unknown herdsmen, no RUGA, no Boko Haram and no government where almost all the dramatis personae belong to one religion. In 1993, there was reasonable trust that a Nigerian government would be fair to all Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion. That trust is gone!

The uproar that has visited the announcement of Kashim Shettima as the Asiwaju’s running mate ought to be a warning of that lack of trust. The die-hard supporters of the Jagaban Borgu are promoting the narrative that the uproar is fueled by ethnic and religious bigots and that the APC presidential candidate has no need to correct course. I am neither an ethnic nor religious bigot. My late best friend was a Moslem from Kano State. His name was Mustapha Amego. I have friends from nearly every tribe in Nigeria. Even though I am a Christian, several times I have been to mosques and joined my Moslem brothers to worship.

I have heard it said that the Moslem/Moslem ticket of Tinubu and Shettima would easily win the 2023 elections because of the APC structures. Those who take such a position miss the point. The objective for people like me, is not winning elections but governing for national progress so Nigeria will get out of the present rot. How will the ticket successfully govern a nation with such major fault lines and deep suspicions?

The event at the Musa Yar’ Adua Centre in Abuja during the week is very revealing. It clearly shows that despite all the braggadocio, there is recognition that something is not quite right with the Tinubu ticket as it is composed. The Musa Yar’ Adua Centre in Abuja is not a big venue. The event during the week was not a Bishops Conference. To invite 30 bishops to a political event, create space for them at such a small venue and celebrate their presence, shows that the criticism is biting and that there is a significant attempt in the Asiwaju camp to neutralize the critics.

The problem is that the show backfired badly. And has become a big joke across the nation. Both the writer of the script and the producer of the show got it all wrong. One credible bishop would have done what the terribly dressed and badly choreographed motley of jesters could not do. May be the script writer thought we needed a bishop for each of the years between 1993 and 2023! In politics, perception is everything. Has any lesson been learnt?

See you next week.

Lies from the hell

You know, foe those who grew up to know only very corrupt crooks and criminals as their governors, they will doubt every good deed of others, because such doesn't exist in their realities.

We have always known Peter Obi, the few good stories we know and tell are just a small fraction of the good he has been doing daily.

Peter Obi is competent, add Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed to the mix, and you have a new Nigeria with decent leaders.

JealousCobra:
Well done, Comrade ObiDatti!!

Our dreams will come true.

Well done comrade.

.

And this is a PDP state

Atiku will be so shocked by what he will see in 2023.

Atiku can only win North east.

Tinubu can only win South west

Peter Obi will confidently win South south, south east, North central, then grab 40% from South west, 25% from North west and 20% from North east.

Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed of LP has won the election.

MadamVanessa:




We can't afford to loose this golden opportunity that present itself to us. Obi or nothing.

Really, if Nigeria misses this golden Peter Obi opportunity, it may take a very long time before the criminals relinquish their grasp on the throat of this country.

Fahdiga:
Good one from our incoming president.

And this was a long time before he decided to dabble into politics.

Peter Obi:

This story occurred 2001

Let me tell you about my personal encounter with Peter Obi about two decades ago. I was living in Port Harcourt along Ada George Rd, off Kala in Obio Akpo LGA. Obi had a warehouse on Kala rd. He was a major importer of canned products like Heinz salad cream,Baked Beans Ketchups, sweet corn, corned beef etc.

His trucks bringing goods to his warehouse constituted real nuisance to traffic. It got to a point during the rainy season where we could no longer access our homes and had to resort to parking in El Shaddai Nursery/ Primary School before trekking home. So the Chairman of Kala Residents community,Chief Ogolo convened a meeting to chart the way forward. We were all asked to pay some money towards fixing the road and I was appointed as the treasurer.

Just when we were rounding up,Peter Obi sauntered in and I was quick to attack him for being the major contributor to the problem which burden was now on our collective neck. I honestly expected him to arrogantly shout me down and intimidate everyone. But what he did,disarmed most of us who were spoiling for a fight against this rich man. First of all,he stood up and apologized for coming late to the meeting, due to traffic at Aba,on his way from Onitsha. He averred that until that moment, he was not aware of the trauma his business activities were causing the residents and pledged to singlehandedly find a solution to our problem.

This meeting held on a Saturday and by Monday morning, heavy duty equipment were lined up, preparatory to the work. By Wednesday, remedial and rehabilitation work had commenced and by the following Monday,we were driving smoothly to our houses. Peter Obi had singlehandedly constructed drainages and resurfaced the Kala Road.

That showed me how noble the man was, long before he dabbled into politics.

Victory belongs to the masses.

We are tired of proven failures in APC and PDP.

LP rules the nation.

God bless all lovers of peace and equity.

LordviccoDaGuru:
Peter Obituary is dead on arrival

Peter Obi is the most competent presidential candidate in Nigeria today.

Every Nigerian knows he will make a good president. That fact is guaranteed.

That's why we are going to vote for him across all towns and villages in Nigeria.

Let the pretence continue.

PDP and APC government has never liked education, we need to elect a president who has shown a consistent love for the education of our children.

Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed will bring the needed cure for the segregation afflicting Nigeria.

People are still grasping at straws

I assure you guys, you're never gonna find any dirt on Peter Obi

emerged01:
I just cant stop laughing I cant that you all are hypocrites. An APC member crossed to Labour party is awesome? I was hoping Labour party will reject these evil people.

Repentance is allowed. We can accept Tinubu as an elder statesman who can use his influence to command voters to vote for LP.

It's never too late to turn over and amend your mistakes.

LP to the world.

All I see is a sudden realization by most Nigerians about the need to jettison sychophancy and support credible candidates who will change the negative story about Nigeria.

We are voting for individuals who has the capacity to transform Nigeria in the shortest possible time, end insecurity, provide enabling environment for jobs and a thriving economy which will prioritise production of goods and services, generating the needed export goods and earning good foreign exchange.

Our youths will be so busy doing agriculture, commerce and office work that nobody will remember what is insecurity again. Salaries and wages will surge as a result of good profits, making taxes rise for the government to do infrastructural development.

Vote for Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed for president.

Nigeria will surely change for the best.

Thank you Atiku, you're a good sportsman, please remember to also congratulate Peter Obi 2 hours after the announcement of the presidential election results next year February. You will end up a very loveable statesman.

We the youths of Nigeria love Peter Obi

Stanweezy:
The party name should be well written on ur sticker not just the logo, some ppl still thinks Peter Obi is the flag bearer of PDP

I will correct this in my next print, LP will be very prominent.
