The news must be coming from Upper Iweka fake news outlet. Continue

Upper Iweka news is better than Yoruba media houses that spread fake news.

The news by OP is real and authentic.

Do you guys realize the absurdity in this strategies of yours. Chunning out unnecessary news for what purpose exactly?. People who are already committed to vote APC has already numbered 5million PLUS.. The rest of the 3 million votes is wrestling with ATIKU.
Stop these nonsense, sit down think of a better way to counter APC instead of all these nonsense. It's not only nauseating, it is extremely repulsive.

Can SATAN cast out SATAN?😁
We don’t need impeachment.
We need the smelling, mandate-thief OUT of Aso Rock!

Simple.

SATAN can cast out SATAN!

Impeaching tinubu is possible.

Hehe. So 'Satan can't cast out Satan' but 'we need the mandate-thief out'? Bro, you're basically saying 'I want the house to be clean but I don't want to sweep'. Impeachment is the sweep. You either want the job done or you just want to complain.

So 'we don't need impeachment' but 'we need him out'? Make up your mind. If you want him out, then impeachment is literally the constitutional way to do it. Or are you suggesting we use 'Nigerian factor' to remove him? Because that's called a coup, not democracy.

Jakarta:
In all your ranting you couldn't even name one Nigerian civilian president that the legislators has successfully impeached. I guessed you are the one that stopped those impeachment moves you made mentioned of. If Obj had these same sets of legislators who are at Tinubu's beck and call, he would have actualised his 3 tenures plan.

Your if Tinubu breaks the law he will be impeached narrative is a weak attempt of you running away from reality. Your assumptions of Tinubu being my man, tells a lot about how you think. Ogbeni dey there they dream why reality dey press your neck.

Lol
So because no one has been impeached, we should just assume it’s impossible? That’s like saying ‘no one has died from smoking’ until they do. I’m not running away from reality. I’m refusing to be held hostage by your ‘it’s never happened’ nonsense. If Tinubu breaks the law, he’ll be the first. That’s how history is made.

Obj didn’t actualize 3rd term because the Senate said no. Same Senate you say is ‘at Tinubu’s beck and call’. So even when legislators were loyal to OBJ, they still stopped him. That means the Senate can say no. So your argument collapses: if they could stop OBJ, they can stop Tinubu too.

You want me to name a Nigerian civilian president that was impeached? I’ll name one when it happens. But let’s not pretend ‘it hasn’t happened’ means ‘it’s impossible’. You’re confusing ‘hasn’t’ with ‘won’t’. The constitution doesn’t care about your ‘reality’. It cares about 2/3. If Tinubu breaks the law, the Senate will act — or Nigeria will act on the Senate.

BrickandLace:
Both HOR and senate lack basic human conscience.
Their insatiable appetite for the collective commonwealth is the only thing that drives them.

They're of no use to the new Nigeria struggling to emerge and will be remembered for their treachery.

I get the anger. But saying they all lack conscience is how we excuse ourselves from acting. Not every HOR or Senate member is corrupt. Some are trying. The problem is we don’t protect the good ones when they stand up. If we want a new Nigeria, we have to start by voting out the treacherous ones, not by writing everyone off.

That’s how people felt about Buhari in 2011. ‘All politicians are the same’. Then 2015 happened. If we keep saying ‘they’re useless’, we’re giving them permission to keep being useless. The new Nigeria starts when we treat elections like war, not like prayer.

Jakarta:
Lol!! I don't think you understood the Nigerian context here. Given the Nigerian factor it is impossible for the current senate to impeach Tinubu. It is the Nigerian factor that made the legislators to defend the actions of the executive. Same legislators that are already singing on your mandate we stand for Tinubu? Bro abeg wakeup from sleep.

Bro, I’m awake. You’re the one sleeping on history. ‘Singing on your mandate’ was the same song for Buhari in 2015. By 2018, those same legislators were trying to impeach him. The Nigerian factor is loyalty to interest, not loyalty to one man. When interest changes, the song changes.

The ‘Nigerian factor’ is what made Saraki’s Senate threaten Buhari with impeachment in 2018. Same factor made Lawan’s Senate block Buhari’s loan request. So which ‘Nigerian factor’ are you talking about? The one that works for Tinubu today, or the one that worked against Buhari yesterday?

So the ‘Nigerian factor’ means the Senate can’t impeach Tinubu, but it could threaten Buhari? Or is the Nigerian factor only when it’s your man? The constitution doesn’t say ‘Nigerian factor’. It says 2/3. If Tinubu breaks the law, that same Senate will act. Watch.

IGBOSON1:
Hehehehehe

You idealists sef! Which national assembly is going to initiate impeachment proceedings and successfully impeach Tinubu? Is it the Akabio led one that's firmly in Tinubus' pocket?

Hehe. Akpabio is ‘firmly in Tinubu’s pocket’ today. But Saraki was ‘firmly in Buhari’s pocket’ until 2018. Lawan was ‘firmly in Buhari’s pocket’ until APC primaries. The pocket changes when interest changes. That’s politics.


So because Akpabio is loyal now, Tinubu can’t be impeached? That’s like saying ‘my referee is my friend, so I can’t get a red card’. Impeachment is in the constitution, not in Akpabio’s loyalty. If Tinubu breaks the law, even his pocket will be emptied.


You idealists? Lol. In 2018, the same APC senators that were ‘firmly in Buhari’s pocket’ were threatening impeachment and defecting. So which one is it? Is it only idealistic when it’s not your man?

Antoeni:
A Tinubu vs Atiku vs Peter Obi vs Kwankwanso on 2027 Ballots Will Produce The Same Results Like We Had in 2023.
Kwankwanso Doesn't Look Ready to deputize Obi Going By His Press Statements Yesterday,

You said ‘Tinubu vs Atiku vs Obi vs Kwankwaso will produce same result’. But in 2023 you were saying ‘Obi can’t win’. So now Obi is a threat enough to guarantee Tinubu wins? Make up your mind. If he’s not a factor, why mention him?


You can’t say ‘same result’ when the conditions are different. In 2023, Tinubu had the incumbent advantage, PDP was split, and Obi was new. In 2027, Tinubu will be incumbent with economic hardship. People don’t vote the same way when their stomachs are empty. So no, it won’t be the same.

OneCandleAway:
You can't compare a saraki to akpabio. They are worlds apart.

Saraki and Akpabio are worlds apart — I agree. But both were Senate Presidents who didn’t always bow to their president. Saraki clashed with Buhari. Akpabio is clashing with no one now. The point isn’t who they are, it’s that Senate loyalty isn’t permanent. It shifts when interests shift.

If they’re worlds apart, then your argument falls apart. You can’t say ‘Saraki did it’ to prove it’s possible, then say ‘but Akpabio is different’ to prove it’s impossible. Either the Senate can act independently or it can’t. Which is it?

FSBoperator:
lol

You now see BAT doing a solid second term of 4ys and so that's what motivated you to post this AI assisted bullcrap.

Pathetic,

Lol

BAT is doing his second term? 2027 hasn’t happened yet. Calling it ‘AI assisted bullcrap’ doesn’t change the fact that the South East is asking for equity. If you think that’s pathetic, then democracy itself is pathetic to you.

You can laugh, but laughing doesn’t cancel the constitution. ‘AI assisted bullcrap’ is what people said about Obi in 2023 too. Look how that ended. You can’t insult your way out of a zoning debate.

Tinubu is a one term president because Nigerians have rejected him.

OneCandleAway:
This senate that sings on your mandate up and down can't impeach Tinubu. Buhari hd the US support when he wanted to contest so it was evident he will win.

So because the Senate is singing now, Tinubu can’t be impeached? That’s like saying a referee who claps for a player can’t give him a red card. The rules don’t care about the song. They care about the offense.
True, this Senate is pro-Tinubu now. But impeachment isn’t about singing. It’s about the law. If Tinubu violates the constitution, or if the economy collapses, that same Senate will change tune. Remember: The same Senate that sang ‘Buhari till 2023’ was the one that voted against his loan requests and blocked some of his nominees. When interest changes, the song changes. ‘Singing on your mandate’ is not in the constitution — 2/3 votes is.

Tinubu could be in the same spot. If he delivers, no one will talk impeachment. If he doesn’t, even his singers will leave the choir.


Buhari had US support in 2015, but that didn’t win him the election — Nigerians did. If Buhari could lose 3 times before winning, then nothing is ‘evident’ until votes are counted. Tinubu’s US backing doesn’t stop a Nigerian from beating him if people are tired.

Jakarta:
That can't happen with the current senate. Just 2 weeks ago the senate president was even commending the president's and telling his colleagues why it is better to borrow. Impeach Jagaban? that doesn't sound Nigerian, and very impossible.

Nobody said it’s happening tomorrow. But ‘impossible’ is what they said about Buhari defeating PDP in 2015. Politics changes fast. Senate today, different tomorrow.
Senate presidents commend presidents all the time — that’s their job. But remember: Saraki and Lawan both clashed with their presidents. Senate loyalty isn’t forever.
It sounds ‘un-Nigerian’ because we’ve never done it. But the constitution says it’s possible. If Nigerians are angry enough, even the ‘impossible’ becomes real.

You’re right — today it looks impossible. The Senate President is backing Tinubu, and borrowing is the current plan. But the constitution doesn’t require ‘Nigerian’ to impeach. It requires 2/3 of Senate and House. If Tinubu breaks the law, ignores the National Assembly, or triggers mass protests, the math changes.

Lagos, Nigeria — In a powerful and unprecedented political declaration, influential Yoruba and Northern leaders within the All Progressives Congress (APC) have jointly called for the 2027 Nigerian presidency to be handed over to an Igbo man from the South-East geopolitical zone — but with a critical stipulation: the candidate must be a bona fide member of the APC.

This stirring demand signals a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s political evolution, reflecting a growing consensus among major ethnic blocs in the ruling party to foster true inclusivity, national cohesion, and respect for the country’s unwritten power rotation norms.



The Yorubas and Northerners’ endorsement of an Igbo presidency within the APC is grounded not only in historical justice but also political pragmatism. For decades, the Igbo people — despite their significant economic contributions and population — have been largely excluded from the highest office, deepening feelings of marginalization and disenfranchisement.

By emphasizing that the Igbo presidency candidate must be a member of the APC, these leaders are underscoring the need for internal party democracy and loyalty. This insistence also serves as a subtle but firm message to the broader political class that the Igbo ambition for the presidency should be pursued within the mainstream ruling party, which currently controls the machinery of government and has the strongest chances of winning the election.


Political analysts view this united call as a potential game-changer for the 2027 general elections. It bridges long-standing regional divides, signaling that the APC’s core ethnic constituencies are ready to set aside historical suspicions and work toward a shared future.

Dr. Ibrahim Musa, a leading political commentator, noted, “This is an extraordinary alignment. For Yorubas and Northerners to publicly support an Igbo APC candidate suggests a shift from ethno-centric politics to a more pragmatic and inclusive approach. It could redefine how power is negotiated in Nigeria.”


While the call is historic, it comes with formidable challenges. The South-East political landscape is currently fragmented, with multiple aspirants eyeing the presidency, many not formally aligned with the APC. Convincing these actors to rally behind the party’s candidate will require strategic diplomacy and robust consensus-building.

Moreover, this demand adds pressure on the APC leadership to fast-track credible zoning arrangements and internal reforms that guarantee the Igbo candidate not only emerges but also garners widespread support.


This united front by Yorubas and Northerners is more than a political gesture; it is a clarion call for national integration, equitable power distribution, and party loyalty. If handled with wisdom and sincerity, it could mark the dawn of a new chapter in Nigeria’s democracy — one where ethnic identities enrich the political landscape without breeding division.

As Nigeria approaches the crucial 2027 elections, all eyes will be on how the APC navigates this complex terrain and whether it can transform this bold vision into reality.

The current state of Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu's leadership has raised concerns among citizens, prompting calls for his impeachment. With the country grappling with hunger, bad governance, and economic instability, it's imperative for lawmakers to reassess the president's performance and consider taking drastic measures.

The 1999 Nigerian Constitution provides clear guidelines for impeachment proceedings. Section 143(1) states that the president can be removed from office for "gross misconduct". Given the widespread discontent with Tinubu's administration, lawmakers must evaluate whether his actions constitute gross misconduct.

President Tinubu's inability to effectively address hunger and economic instability has exacerbated the suffering of Nigerians. The recent nationwide protests against hunger and bad governance underscore the need for urgent action. Lawmakers must consider whether Tinubu's leadership has violated the constitution and compromised the well-being of citizens.

To initiate impeachment proceedings, a simple majority vote is required in the House of Representatives, followed by a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate. Lawmakers must prioritize the nation's interests over party affiliations and take decisive action.


Nigerian lawmakers have a constitutional duty to ho6ld the president accountable. We urge them to:

1. Assess President Tinubu's performance: Evaluate his leadership and determine whether it constitutes gross misconduct.
2. Initiate impeachment proceedings: Follow constitutional guidelines to remove the president from office.
3. Prioritize national interests: Put the needs of Nigerians above party loyalty.

The time for action is now. Lawmakers must demonstrate their commitment to the nation's well-being and take bold steps to address the current leadership crisis.

In a surprising turn of events, many Nigerians are urging Vice President Kashim Shettima to decline the role of Acting President if President Bola Tinubu is impeached. The reason behind this request is to ensure that the presidency remains in the South-South region, as stipulated by the APC constitution.


The APC constitution requires that the presidency should alternate between regions to maintain balance and fairness. With President Tinubu potentially facing impeachment, Nigerians are keen to see this stipulation upheld.


If Vice President Shettima steps down, Senate President Godswill Akpabio would be next in line to assume the role of Acting President. Many Nigerians see Akpabio as a more suitable candidate to lead the country than Vice President Kashim Shettima, given his experience and leadership style.


The call for Vice President Shettima to step down is gaining momentum, with many Nigerians taking to social media to express their views. While some argue that Shettima's association with President Tinubu could compromise his ability to lead effectively, others believe that Akpabio's leadership would bring much-needed stability to the country.


The Nigerian Constitution outlines the order of succession, with the Vice President assuming the presidency in the event of a vacancy. The call is rooted in the desire to see Senate President Godswill Akpabio take the reins as the next Acting President of Nigeria. Many Nigerians are dissatisfied with the current administration's handling of economic and security issues.


The impeachment process is ongoing, with many Nigerians eagerly awaiting the outcome. If President Tinubu is impeached, the country will be watching closely to see who will take the reins.

The same reason why Americans rejected Abraham Lincoln and on the seventh time he became one of America's greatest president.
If your time never reach, e never reach be that. When your time reach nothing can stop you, not even your village people.

Lincoln didn’t lose because Nigerians rejected him. He lost because he was in the minority party. Atiku lost because Nigerians voted against him 6 times. If your time never reached after 6 tries, maybe it’s not your time.
Lincoln had one failed Senate run and one failed VP run. Atiku has six failed presidential runs. That’s not ‘your time never reach’ — that’s Nigerians saying no.
Lincoln didn’t have corruption cases, EFCC files, and 30 years in government. Atiku does. Different time, different country, different man. Nigeria isn’t America. And Lincoln didn’t have 30 years of baggage.

Atiku and his supporters have no regard for Southern Nigeria. He contested against Obasanjo, Jonathan, and Osinbajo. Now he wants Southerners to vote him in 2027? No. Obi or nothing. When it’s 2031, let the North have its turn. But 2027 is for the South East. That’s equity.


Atiku and his camp say ‘unity’, but they’ve never supported Southern leadership. They’ve contested against every Southern candidate. Now they want Southern votes? Obi or nothing. 2027 is for the South East. 2031 can be Northern turn. That’s fairness.

Onme:
Don’t mind them. Most of them that write this things na obi supporters and Igbo then be. Na you get money atiku dey use to run or resources? Obi best bet is to deputized atiku

Calling this ‘Igbo’ or ‘Obi supporters’ won’t change the facts. Nigerians from every tribe are tired of recycling. Atiku Abubakar has run 6 times and lost. He’s 80 in 2027. That’s not about tribe — that’s about competence. And no, it’s not about money. It’s about justice. After North and South West, it’s the South East’s turn. That’s equity, not tribalism.

sleek214:
Atiku is not the cause of your suffering. An 80 year old man still has dreams and aspirations whilst a young person like you is without dreams, aspirations and focus, you keep blaming every government for your woes

Atiku Abubakar isn’t the only cause of Nigeria’s suffering, but he’s been in power for over 30 years. He’s part of the problem. And don’t tell me I’m without dreams because I want better. I have dreams — a Nigeria where 80-year-olds rest and the South East gets its turn. That’s focus. That’s aspiration. That’s why I’m fighting for equity, not recycling.

So an 80-year-old can have dreams, but a young person can’t demand change? The irony. My dream is a Nigeria that doesn’t recycle failed leaders. Atiku had 6 chances. He had his time. My dream is for the South East to produce President. That’s not blaming government — that’s asking for justice.


If Atiku’s dream is to be president at 80, my dream is to see a Nigeria that moves past tribalism and corruption. That’s the difference: my dream is for the country, his dream is for himself. And yes, I’m focused — focused on a clean, united Nigeria, not on defending old men.

IF ATIKU IS THE ANSWER, WHY DID NIGERIANS REJECT HIM 6 TIMES?” – YOUTH GROUPS SAY 2027 IS NOT HIS TURN AS SOUTH EAST DEMANDS ITS CHANCE

As political jostling for 2027 intensifies, a fresh wave of youth groups and civil society leaders is asking one question: _If Atiku Abubakar is the answer, why did Nigerians reject him 6 times?_

The question is now the rallying cry for a growing movement that says Atiku Abubakar has had his time, and 2027 is not his turn.


Atiku Abubakar has contested for President six times: 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023. Each time, Nigerians voted against him.

“If he was the answer, Nigerians would have elected him already,” the _Nigeria Youth Coalition_ said. “Six attempts, six rejections. That is the people’s verdict. You don’t force a man on a country that has repeatedly said no.”

Critics say 2027 is about a united Nigeria, not another Northern Muslim candidate. They argue Atiku Abubakar represents old politics of zoning, religion, and tribalism that Nigerians have moved past.


The movement says equity demands the next President come from Southern Nigeria, and specifically the South East region.

“Since 1966, the South East has never produced an elected President,” the _South East Equity Forum_ stated. “After eight years of Buhari from the North, and eight years of Tinubu from the South West, justice says it is the turn of the South East. Atiku Abubakar cannot be President because he divides more than he unites.”

WHY ATIKU CANNOT BE THE ANSWER
1. Six-Time Rejection: Youth groups say six losses show Nigerians do not want him. “If you couldn’t win when you were younger and had more energy, what will you do at 80?”
2. Trust Deficit: Opponents cite long-standing corruption allegations reported in Nigerian courts and in foreign jurisdictions, including the 2007 U.S. Senate report and EFCC investigations. “You cannot fight corruption with a candidate whose name keeps surfacing in graft probes,” the _Youths Against Corruption_ said.
3. Divisive Politics: Critics accuse Atiku Abubakar of leaning on religion and tribal sentiment in 2019 and 2023. “Nigeria needs a leader who sees all 36 states as one country, not a man who counts votes by tribe,” the _Coalition for National Unity_ said.
4. Generational Shift: At 80 in 2027, Atiku Abubakar represents a past Nigeria the youth do not want. “We want a leader who can run, not one who needs to be carried,” a student in Enugu said.


The message from Aba market women to Abuja students is clear: Atiku Abubakar should rest, not run.

“Nigeria is tired of recycling leaders,” the _Youths Against Corruption_ declared. “If Atiku is the answer, why did Nigerians reject him 6 times? He had his time. 2027 is about a united Nigeria, not another Northern Muslim candidate. South East deserves its turn.”

With the 2027 election approaching, the call is growing louder: _New Nigeria, new face, new direction. Atiku, retire with dignity._

This is what Nigerians want to hear. No more tribalism, no more sentiment, no more corruption. Atiku Abubakar had his time. 2027 belongs to a younger, cleaner leader from the South East.
Trust deficit is real. You can’t fight corruption when your name keeps showing up in EFCC files and US Senate reports. Nigeria needs a new page, not a recycled chapter.
The youth have moved past religion and tribalism. We want competence. Atiku represents yesterday. South East represents tomorrow. #Equity2027

AMINDA:
Atiku will exercise his democratic right by contesting the primary election under his party. All these threads are just water off a whale's back and a waste of Nairaland bandwidth. Give it up already.

Yes, Atiku Abubakar has a democratic right to contest. But Nigerians also have a democratic right to reject him. That’s how democracy works. Calling this a ‘waste of bandwidth’ won’t stop people from demanding equity. 2027 is about the South East’s turn, not one man’s ambition. We’ll keep talking until the people speak.

Water off a whale’s back’? That’s what they said about #EndSARS until it became a movement. Nigerians are done with recycling. At 80, Atiku Abubakar should rest. The South East has waited long enough. If you think it’s waste, ignore it. But don’t tell others to ‘give it up’ when we’re fighting for a united Nigeria.


If it’s a waste, why are you here wasting your own bandwidth? You’re here because you know the people are moving past sentiment. We’ll keep talking. 2027 is not Atiku’s turn.

Isobug:
Is he not healthy than the one in Aso Rock that you lots are clamouring to give another four years by hooks or by crooks?

Health isn’t the only issue — competence, record, and fairness matter too. If you think the current one isn’t healthy, why replace him with someone older and with more baggage? Atiku Abubakar is 80 and still wants to run. Nigeria needs a break from recycling old faces, not swapping one for another."


"Two wrongs don’t make a right. If you’re saying the current president isn’t healthy, then the answer is to bring in a younger, healthier, more competent candidate — not an 80-year-old with corruption cases and six failed attempts.

Atiku Abubakar has been in politics for over 30 years. If health is your benchmark, why are we not looking at the South East where you have governors and ministers in their 50s who are healthy and ready?

And ‘by hooks or by crooks’ is exactly what Nigerians are tired of. We’re not clamouring for anyone by force. We’re asking for equity: it’s the turn of Southern Nigeria, and the turn of the South East. That’s not sentiment — that’s justice.

If you’re tired of the current one, vote for competence. Don’t replace one old face with another. Give the South East its turn and let Nigeria breathe.

coputa:
Most of you are blinded by emotional judgements and tribalism that your reasoning are often shallow. How old is Donald Trump, the president of America.

Age alone doesn’t disqualify anyone, but context does. Donald Trump is 80, but America has strong institutions, term limits, and a different political culture. Nigeria’s challenge is different: we’re dealing with youth unemployment, insecurity, and the need for national healing.
"Donald Trump is 80, but America isn't Nigeria. We have our own realities. Age isn’t the only issue — competence, energy, and fairness matter too. And Atiku Abubakar isn’t just 80; he’s also facing corruption cases and 6 failed attempts. Nigeria needs fresh ideas, not recycling. Rotation matters because it’s about equity, not tribalism."

At 80, Atiku Abubakar has run 6 times and lost. The public service rule retires civil servants at 60. If we can’t keep 60-year-olds in civil service, why keep an 80-year-old in the most demanding job?

And it’s not tribalism to say it’s the turn of the South East. It’s equity. After North, South West, and South, fairness says South East should produce President. That’s not shallow reasoning — that’s common sense.

“THE PEOPLE DECIDE 2027”: IGBO LEADERS DECLARE SEYI MAKINDE CANNOT SABOTAGE IGBO PRESIDENCY OR STOP PETER OBI FROM BECOMING PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA

A strong message rang out from the heart of the Southwest on Saturday as Igbo stakeholders in Ibadan declared that Governor Seyi Makinde cannot sabotage Igbo Presidency or stop Peter Obi from becoming President of Nigeria in 2027.

The declaration came at the _Ibadan Unity Dialogue_, where Ohanaeze Ndigbo youth wings, market unions, and professional bodies gathered to respond to growing 2027 permutations.

“We respect Governor Seyi Makinde as a leader in Oyo State and the PDP,” the communique read. “But on 2027, let it be clear: Seyi Makinde cannot sabotage Igbo Presidency. He cannot stop Peter Obi from becoming President of Nigeria. The power has returned to the people.”

Speakers said the 2023 elections proved that Nigerians want competence, character, and equity — the three pillars Peter Obi represents. They argued that no single governor, bloc, or structure can override the national demand for a South East President in 2027.

“Peter Obi is not a regional candidate. He is a national movement,” the Igbo Professionals Forum said. “Seyi Makinde cannot stop what the streets, the campuses, and the diaspora have already endorsed. Igbo Presidency in 2027 is an idea whose time has come.”

Traders at Bodija and Agbeni markets vowed to mobilize across party lines. “We did business with everybody in 2023. In 2027, we will do politics with our PVCs,” a fabric dealer said. “No governor can sabotage us. Peter Obi will run, and the South East will produce the President.”

Youth leaders added that 2027 is about justice, not godfathers. “Seyi Makinde cannot sabotage Igbo Presidency because he does not hold the keys to Nigeria’s future — the people do,” the _Coalition of Southeast Youths in Oyo_ declared. “Peter Obi becoming President of Nigeria in 2027 is beyond one man’s reach to stop.”

The dialogue ended with a pledge to build bridges across the Southwest and North Central, insisting that 2027 will be won on merit and mandate, not on political blockade.

In a move hailed as historic and unifying, supporters of Vice President Kashim Shettima have begun mobilizing to buy the 2027 APC Presidential form for Dave Umahi, declaring him the qualified Igbo to fly the All Progressives Congress presidential ticket.

The _Shettima 4 Nigeria Network_ announced in Maiduguri on Thursday that contributions are already pouring in from the North East, North West, and Middle Belt to secure the nomination form for Dave Umahi, describing it as “a down payment on national justice.”

“We are not waiting. We are acting,” the group’s convener said. “Vice President Kashim Shettima supporters to buy 2027 APC Presidential form for Dave Umahi because the time for equity is now.”

The groundswell follows a powerful call by Vice President Kashim Shettima himself, who openly called for a Southeast person to become the President of Nigeria in 2027. Speaking at a unity lecture in Abuja, Shettima described Dave Umahi as the qualified Igbo to fly the APC 2027 presidential ticket, citing his track record as Governor of Ebonyi State and current Minister of Works.

“Dave Umahi built roads and built bridges. Now Nigeria needs him to bridge the final gap,” Vice President Kashim Shettima said to thunderous applause. “If we preach one Nigeria, then 2027 is the time to practice it. The Southeast must produce the President, and Dave Umahi is eminently qualified to lead APC and lead Nigeria.”

Market women in Abakaliki and engineers in Kano alike are calling it “the Borno–Ebonyi Bridge” — a North East to South East handshake that could redefine 2027.

“Umahi turned Ebonyi into a construction site. Imagine what he will do with Nigeria,” a Borno youth leader said. “That’s why Shettima supporters to buy 2027 APC Presidential form for Dave Umahi. We are tired of division. We want delivery.”

APC chieftains say the move has jolted the party’s internal calculus. “When a sitting Vice President calls for a Southeast person to become President and points to Dave Umahi as the qualified Igbo to fly the APC flag, the party listens,” a member of the National Working Committee noted.

From the dunes of the Sahel to the hills of Afikpo, the chorus is rising: 2027 is for competence, 2027 is for healing, 2027 is for Dave Umahi. And with Vice President Kashim Shettima’s supporters ready to pick the form, the journey has already begun.

Cyberterror:
Atiku won't pick a backstabbing fraudster like him. He should get ready to decamp if INEC window has not closed yet

Continue deceiving yourself.
Peter Obi is bigger than atiku abubakar a million times.
Nigerians prefer peter obi than atiku abubakar.

The message from the man millions call “Okwute” is final and unshaken: Peter Obi will not be Vice President to Atiku Abubakar.

Addressing a packed town hall in Awka on Tuesday, Peter Obi restated what he has said many times — he will not be Vice President to anyone. He is running for the position of President of Nigeria.

“I have served as Vice Presidential candidate before. I have moved on,” Peter Obi told the crowd. “I am not coming back to be Vice President to Atiku Abubakar or anyone else. I am running for President because Nigeria needs a new driver, not a backseat.”

WHY NIGERIANS SAY PETER OBI IS BETTER THAN ATIKU ABUBAKAR

1. Track Record of Prudence: Supporters point to Peter Obi’s record in Anambra State — clearing debt, saving billions, investing in education and health — as proof of fiscal discipline. They contrast this with Atiku Abubakar’s long career in the old political order, arguing that Obi represents “clean hands in a dirty system.”
2. Generational Shift: At 63, Peter Obi is seen by youth as bridge to the future, while Atiku Abubakar, 80 in 2027, is framed as “yesterday’s playbook.” From tech hubs in Yaba to farms in Jos, young Nigerians say Obi speaks their language: production, not patronage.
3. Moral Authority: Obi’s simple lifestyle, single wristwatch, and refusal to fly private jets have become campaign symbols. Many Nigerians say they prefer Peter Obi than Atiku Abubakar because “Obi lives what he preaches” while Atiku represents “politics as big business.”
4. National Healing: With the Southeast locked out of the Presidency since 1966, voices from the North Central to the South South argue that Peter Obi offers justice without chaos. “Atiku had his shot. Obi is the balance,” a Kaduna cleric said.


Elders, bishops, and market associations closed the town hall with a declaration: it is the turn for South East to produce the next President of Nigeria in 2027.

“The civil war ended on paper. 2027 must end it in reality,” the Southeast Council of Traditional Rulers stated. “After the North, the Southwest, and the South South, equity demands that the South East produces the President. Peter Obi is our competence card, not our ethnic card.”

Traders in Onitsha and students in Nsukka said the mood is different from 2023. “We’re not negotiating VP slots,” a UNN student leader said. “Peter Obi will not be Vice to Atiku Abubakar. He is running for President. And it is the South East’s turn.”

From Lagos to London, the Obidient wave insists 2027 is binary: competence or continuation. And for millions who say they prefer Peter Obi than Atiku Abubakar, the choice is clear — President, not deputy.
