Truthisunique2: Atiku is a household name in the north east how tinubu cum expect shettima that is not relevant outside borno to defeat him
How would north east leave Presidency and go for vice president under a fake Muslim
The North West is now officially kwanwaso turf to play with, he would now rally it as it's candidate and fuse it to atiku
You don't know anything about northern politics, since 1999 till date have you seen Yobe and Borno states experimenting political parties, even after all the other ANPP states moved to the ruling PDP then they remained unperturbed, that is the Kanuri mentality for you, and with their sizeable number in Bauchi state they will come out in full force to support their son, so north east with the exception of Adamawa is a lockdown for Tinibu
Totilopussylick: Nigeria politicians makes themselves an enemy of her citizens that voted them to be whom they are.
Can he walk alone till he gets home without
Those fearlessly looking security men surrounding him .
Come to Germany, a politician walks about without a single security man watching after them.
He cannot walk alone without those fearlessly looking security surrounding him because of your mentality which has been primed in such a way that once a leader is not your kit and kin you always distaste him, by the way Peter Obi is presently a nobody, but can he walk up the streets of Onitsha all alone, I doubt very much
Vulturereloaded: Northerners in serious trouble with poverty, unemployment, inflation, insecurity and out of school children.
So who is in more trouble, the North or Obi?
Useless chap, you are the type of people that will cause the North to revolt against PO, why the insults, is this the North that created this thread or somebody's own personal opinion, we have seen this type of Lamentations in 2014 and of course you all know the repercussions.
On Saturdays you will pick postals and be shouting Peter Obi then on Mondays you trans figure yourselves, pick up arms and be killing and maiming people, who are you deceiving
This Wike is a tyrant, and this is the kind of character you want to make him the vice president of a country, believe you me he will strangulate the president in less than 3 months after swearing them in to office
Win the North and share it with Atiku. Peter Obi will manage to win 25% in very few core northern states. He will win middle belt, South South, South East. Win at least 30% in Southwest states. Cruise to victory.
You people are very sentimental, what bargaining stuff did Peter Obi put on the table during the merger talks with Kwankwaso nothing apart from being a former governor, and you expect somebody who was a former governor, a federal minister and a senator to step down for him just like that, as things stand right now it is only Kwankwaso with the perfect combination has the political jaganaut to wrestle power from the APC or PDP, PO has only 12 days left to decide whether to remain relevant in Nigerian politics or go into oblivion, the choice is his, stop over bloating him
It's always good for leaders to know what the common man is paying for these items at any given moment in time.
Knowing this man, I doubt the woman selling will be able to cheat him of even 50 naira in this transaction. He will insist on paying the real market price for the pepper and no more.
This man is very stingy, at this age and caliber you are still pretending to be a pauper
NgeneUkwenu: *"In pacifying my principal after he lost the presidential primary, he was approached by PDP national leadership to stand as vice president or nominate a candidate, all his efforts in this regards came to naught despite his sacrifices. Now, you want Governor Nyesom Wike to serve as a member in Osun State campaign committee where Douye Diri is the Chairman; Wike had contested elections three times and won, his pedigree as an astute politician is outstanding, his contacts politically spreads across, what advantage or positive influence will Diri's chairman bring to Osun election, a man who became Governor through the power of the court, let me say it here and now, my principal, Governor Nyesom Wike will not participate or interfere in Osun election, he has declined the offer and has notified the party appropriately, all I know is that the National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu will completely destroy our party"
Kelvin Ebiri, the Media Aide to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike
Mr man we are tired of the noise of your so-called principal, whether he participates or not Osun belongs to APC, tell your principal to rest in peace
ogododo: Amidst growing tension within the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, the presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has expressed confidence that the party would remain focused and united ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He said this in a series of tweets on his verified twitter handle @Atiku, on Thursday. Atiku explained that his desire to unify the nation would begin from the party noting that he would continue to be not only a listening leader but also one that takes appropriate actions towards achieving set goals.
The former Vice President said in one of the tweets, “@OfficialPDPNIG will remain united. Focus on our actions; we are taking actions to address the feelings of all party members. Unity in our community is my priority.
“Our resolve to unify Nigerians starts in our party and moves to the community then on to society. Every Governor, Legislator, and Other elected officials produced by our party, and party members and loyalists, are much loved and respected by me.”
In another tweet he said, “When they speak, I listen. I do not only listen. Appropriate actions have been taken, are being taken, and will continue to be advanced.”
Recall that senior party members such as Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, on Wednesday, ruffled feathers when the voiced their disappointment at Atiku’s decision to pick Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, instead of Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike as running mate.
While Ortom who spoke in an interview with Arise Television, said, he was still praying and waiting for God to direct him as to whether or not to support Atiku in the 2023 elections, Fayose said it was time for a southerner to emerge as President after President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure elapses in 2023.
In a related development, party leaders are said to have started consultations in a bid to stop the party from imploding ahead of the 2023 elections.
A leading figure in the party who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issues explained that the party could ill afford another major crisis at this point.
The source said, “Disagreements are normal in politics. In fact, political parties exist to resolve crises and harmonize positions for the greater good.
“We in the PDP are facing a challenge like never before, we are in opposition, we have a vicious ruling party in power we can’t afford to leave our flanks open. Another four years in opposition is inconceivable.
“We are in touch with our candidate and work has started. It is not for the media but we are not ignoring our governors although for now they seem not to be on the same page on this issue. In the end, the PDP will come out stronger.”
Your Excellency, our president in waiting, no matter the blackmail and intimidations don't change your mind on the VP Mr Okowa, Orthom and his cohorts want to use Wike to frustrate your government when you eventually win the presidential elections, be proactive
ogododo: Former Jigawa state governor and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Sule Lamido has named River state governor, Nyesom Wike “the natural heir” to the Presidential seat after Atiku Abubakar, the party’s candidate in the 2023 election.
This is even as Lamido described the governor as an asset to the PDP and a leader who has etched his name in glory given his performance as chief executive of the oil-rich state.
Lamido who stated this in an exclusive chat with our correspondent in his Abuja residence however blamed unnamed persons close to the governor for fuelling issues Wike has been responding to recently, stressing that the party must rescue the Rivers state governor and preserve him for the future.
He said: “Wike is a huge treasure for the PDP and one of the best materials. If we win (in 2023), he is the natural heir to the throne because he has the quality, the aura, the charm, the charisma and the age. I have been saying this: PDP is a family. There was a primary election and there were expectations but some of them were not met. So, it is natural for one to react. I can understand that. Governor Wike is somebody who is very forceful, who has done so well as a governor of PDP in his own state and who has been very supportive of the PDP. But again, he was made by the PDP. He is somebody we must make sure we preserve and we must rescue him from his own anger.”
According to the former Foreign Affairs Minister, whatever support Wike gives to PDP today is the party’s right, adding that “it is the party that made him” and not the other way round.
He continued: “Whatever support he is giving to PDP is PDP’sright because a son does not say ‘I am doing this for my father.’ The party that made him is like a father.”
Recall that a former governor of Niger state, Babangida Aliyu recently said that Wike lost the Vice Presidential nomination to Delta state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa because of the former’s penchant for talking too much. But for Lamido, Wike is right to be angry, insisting however that he must give peace a chance in the overall interest of the party.
“He is right to be angry for having not achieved his own personal interest or ambition but again that is what leadership entails. He is a party man and the party is not his enemy. The party is his home, is own group, his own support and therefore whatever might have been the failure of him to achieve his interest, should not be taken too seriously at a personal level.
“Wike is now like as a boiling pot. There is so much anger in him because people around him will not allow him to see clearly. People around him who he thinks are his own friends are his biggest enemies. It is a fact and he will see it later on and that is why they are putting more logs under the fire. By now they should be withdrawing all the logs under the fire, to allow the pot to cool down.
Lamido further counselled Governor Wike to be wary of those around him, noting that none of them has the capacity to make him realize his ambition.
“There is no one single person in Nigeria today who can say I can run on the platform of PDP and win election on his own, not even Atiku. It is the people of the PDP who will deliver such a person. Ask those around Wike, can they deliver their states to him? There are governors now using Wike but he is one of our best materials for the future.
“To me, we need to make sure that we assist him to calm down and stop him from spilling over with anger because the pot is literally messing up its body by this unnecessary heat.
At the right time, he will see the wisdom in what I am saying because we are all former governors. We know what we were in office and we know what we are out of office,” he added.
The political parties have the right to substitute the names of their candidates with any other person whether he participated in primaries or not, so what is the qualms
I did not say anything. I just posted a factual detail. Please don’t insult me or threaten my family. If this upsets you, face INEC. Thank you and may God bless you all!

Peter Obi is still in Egypt learning how to win elections, by the time he land in Ekiti all the figures APC is posting will be a caricature, Labour party will be on top
On Tuesday, the 14th of June, 2022, Mr. Peter Obi informed Nigerians via his twitter handle of his trip to Egypt, to understudy by what miracle the third biggest economy in Africa after South-Africa and Nigeria moved their power generation from 20,000 Megawatts to over 40,000 megawatts in four years. Ironically, Nigeria has remained fixated on 4,000 megawatts since Adam.
Photos below show Former Governor Peter Obi interacting with the top Executives and Engineers of the New Capital Power Plant in New Cairo, Egypt. The plant currently generates 4800 megawatts of electricity.

Ekiti is a state of professors. We are not illiterates - Voters participating in governorship election say as they resist vote buying.
What has illiteracy got to do with vote buying and election malpractice, it deals with somebody's conscience, The inec residence electoral commissioners that normally manipulate election results are not illiterates, the professors from the universities used as returning officers that announce manipulated results are not illiterates, just do your bit and leave the rest to God
KingLarry04: This my prediction is not based on sentiments or tribalism but based on diff. forms of polls and public opinion..
Southern votes Peter obi: 40% Tinubu: 45% Atiku: 15%
Northern votes Peter obi:10% Tinubu: 40% Atiku: 50%
If you ever think that Obi will surpass Kwankwaso in 2023 presidential election you better consult your psychiatrist, here in the North Kwankwaso is more of a threat to Atiku than even Tinubu
OsunOriginal: PDP presidential candidate has picked Akowa as his running mate to the chagrin of many especially Wike and his supporters who had hoped to get the VP slot. What advice would you give to Wike?
Mine is, decamp to APC to spite Atiku and .... tighten the noose on PO
Learn to remain humble, and as a leader have respect not only for your colleagues but also your subjects, control your mouth and think before you speak, that is what life is all about, money is not everything, my condolences
You can never be serious, you think that millions of Nigerians will elect you as president only to come and offer them on the job training, continue with your under study program when you are done come back and try in 2027
Newslink: CPC Forces Pushing For Malami As Tinubu’s Running Mate

As the deadline for political parties to submit the names of their candidates closes in, there have been horse trading over the choice of running mates to Presidential Candidates.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed June 17, as the deadline for the submission of candidates for the 2023 elections.
How northern APC govs boosted Tinubu’s chances, victory at primaries
Lessons from `successful’ APC primary
Daily Trust had reported how the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have narrowed their choices of running mates to some key politicians.
According to sources while Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the APC is considering Kashim Shettima, former governor of Borno State, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar is strongly considering settling for Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State.
However, sources told Daily Trust that the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) bloc of the APC are planning to approach President Muhammadu Buhari to recommend Abubakar Malami, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice or the Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, for the position.
CPC, now defunct, is one of the legacy parties of the APC.
“The CPC elements are planning to approach President Buhari to seek for his intercession to endorse either Abubakar Malami or Hadi Sirika as the running mate,” a source said.
“But there is the high probability that the president will repeat what he did ahead of the APC special convention; he will listen to all but he will most likely allow the candidate to have a say in who he wants to work with…They would collectively work in producing the right candidate who will bring votes and acceptability because the ultimate goal is for the APC to retain power.”
It was gathered that Tinubu has an appointment with the president on Wednesday and that the issue of running mate is among the issues to be discussed.
Analysts say the choice of the running mates will determine the victory or otherwise of the candidates in the February 25, 2023, presidential election.

Who is Malami, this one who cannot even win gubernatorial primaries in his state, has no electoral value in the North other than accumulating wealth, give us El Rufai or Zulum and you are good to go
Penguin2: A serving Senator, Senator Sabi Abdullah of Niger State, has defected from APC to PDP.
He lost his re election bid in the APC primaries, he followed Tinubu to the mosque thinking that he will get a deprive from him but unfortunately he was ignored hence the hasty decision
Mandate2023: Ipigs owerri news....una don start una mumu fake breaking news werey
Na today politicians dey decamp
Once a party did not give its ticket to a politician what else if not to defect, if dey r strong in d first place d party won't deny them d ticket
What is massive defection in northern states, because a couple of failed lawmakers who were denied tickets in their party decided to jump fence to another party has now become massive defection, kebbi state is under the firm grips of the progressives
00FFT00: Can you please explain what you mean by the bold part of your statement?. Thank you
Putting your act together simply means speaking in unison, igbos are too divided when it comes to national politics, what will happen if the whole of the South East and most of the South South go ahead and vote for PO in 2023, it might not earn him the presidency but at least it will make a statement, with that bold step you can negotiate the presidency in 2027, mind you Democracy is a game of numbers, and this is what is mitigating against you, this I believe is the bitter truth
Okwyjesus: Can you educate me on the Northerners concern about Obi esp the lettered ones
The North has no problem with PO as an individual, the problem is with the whole of the East, who has refused to imbibe the political culture of the North and move in tandon, during the days of the great Zik the North was the political alley of south East, but along the line every thing has gone into oblivion and the East has gone into seclusion
SpatialKing: Please which part of the North are you... Because here in Gwoza Peter Obi is well known.
Remember Peter Obi was Atiku running mate in 2019 A a running mate that had more than 14 million votes across the country is not popular you must be joking.
Please note that in 2019 he was riding on somebody's back but in 2023 he will be on his own with a party which is relatively unknown and with no structure on ground across the vast majority of the North, I stand to be corrected, but its going to be an up hill task for PO to make any impact
