Obi should generally win by a landslide based on the devilish destruction this country and its people have faced this past 7years.. but i can comfortably tell you he wont win if his ibo supporters dont embrace unity and diplomacy.. i am a staunch liberal and a strong patriot with a lot of people i can sway come election time..right on the streets the body language is vote obi cos people are angry at tinubu for a lot of reasons that are deeper than even politics..but this same people are beginning to change their mind abt obi,i mean hundreds of yorubas who in turn control hundreds of others and the main reason is the ibos attitude to anyone not ibo or aligned with their views.. check twitter and see their inflammatory words,even here on nairaland,and to me thats the biggest obstacle obi has to navigate..cos yorubas will just rather stick to the devil they know...TINUBU.. thats the same mistake kanu made..he first insulted and denigrated major yoruba allies before making a u-turn to align with them but alas it was too late..no one tribe can win an election alone..thats why atiku chose okowa..

Some that scored 130 won't be admitted while some with less than 10 would be admitted on merit. When are we going to do away with this madness and let human capacity development be on merit only basis?

Your last statement

It is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes

akanbiaa:
Have you been able to break internal enimity by not only recognizing and attending only your own but other denomination, and also to be able to converge irrespective of sect,diocese, name etc like Muslims do 5times everyday at any mosque that is in close vicinity and all converge on Fridays for jumaat prayers.

BnQoyyim:
And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..." (Matthew 26:39)

"And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship..." (Joshua 5:14)

"And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces…" (Numbers 20:6)

"And Abraham fell on his face..." (Genesis 17:3)

"…and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God." (Revelation 7:11)

"…then they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground." (Nehemiah 8:6)

"…Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces." (1 Chronicles 21:16)

In many others places in the Bible where we find the method of prayer mentioned, it calls to mind the way Muslims pray. In the Bible book entitled Daniel we are able to read a description of Daniel praying to God in a time of great crisis.

"Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber

BnQoyyim:
I'll show you scripturally, where Jesus, Mary- His mother and the disciples pray like Muslim.
Jesus is but a true Muslim.
Meanwhile, your maggot-ridden mind wouldn't allow you to admit the truth.

New Nigeria Collective (NNC), a non-profit making civil group, has warned the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, against running with a Muslim-Muslim ticket, because that would ultimately kill his lifelong ambition to be president of the country.



Reacting to current political developments, the group, in a statement by its general secretary, Bosun Osifowora, said it has become obvious that the reason Tinubu deferred naming his running mate, and instead preferred a place holder, was because he was conflicted between the choices of a Muslim-Muslim or Muslim-Christian ticket.



While insisting that the presidential candidate must not pander to “foolish political correctness” as being propounded by a selfish and narrow-minded few, the group said the Christian community as a bloc would most definitely repay any deliberate disrespect to them in the prevailing political calculus of the nation.



The group said, not only must Tinubu see the push for a Muslim-Muslim ticket as a subtle move to disparage him as unqualified or unworthy to be regarded as a devout and genuine Muslim being a southerner, it would also pass as a brazen disrespect to the religion of his dear wife of many years.



According to the group, “These things are not difficult to situate and you can tell that those pushing this agenda are doing so only for their selfish and personal aggrandizement. But what should guide Tinubu is the fact that these same set of people had earlier discouraged the party against the choice of a southern candidate, because the opposition PDP went north.



“Unfortunately, for them, they were disappointed to learn that a southerner picked the nomination and so, they switched their narrative and started selling fear of defeat into the presidential candidate and party, alleging that only a Muslim-Muslim pairing would fly and lead the party to an electoral victory. It’s all lies. This is 2022 and no such lies can fly in the face of evident confusion that currently pervades the land.



“For the record, the Tinubu brand has gone beyond what any beginner politician would say only a certain kind of pairing would lead him to victory. That is so inane. With any blend at all, Tinubu is the singular most popular and acceptable candidate in Nigeria today and would push through to electoral victory. He knows the right message, where, when and to whom.



“Therefore, what is left is to do the right thing. A south/north candidacy combined with Muslim-Christian pairing, without any scintilla of doubts, pays the right attention to our cultural and religious diversity and effectively balances the fault lines. This is also important because, with the current state of the nation, today, whose challenges are religiously and ethnically rooted, disregarding these tendencies could spell doom.



“This is why we want to appeal to Asiwaju Tinubu to ignore those, who are deliberately pushing him to doom. Some have mooted the need to test the idea, tell them to do so when it is their turn. You have this one and only chance to be president; this opportunity may never come again. Please, listen to your inner voice of reasoning and do that, which is in collective interest, and not jut to assuage some vested political interest.”



NNC, however, insisted Tinubu speaks to himself and awaken his inner mind to the reality of today’s Nigeria, saying, “Everyone in Nigeria is important. Every religion is crucial. What is not acceptable in the current equation is the domination of one over the other. Even if a Christian running mate would not stop the carnage, the fact that he is on the ticket has some psychological suasion and effect that cannot be quantified. Please, ignore the jobbers and do the needful.”

Pakute:
Northern Christian are not as bigoted as Southern Christians. Northern Christians know as much that Tinubu is a liberal muslim without any antecedent of religious bigotry, they'd feel more safer with Tinubu. Mega Churches have their headquarters in Lagos and enjoy certain privileges without hassles, they maintain good relationships with Tinubu. Aside Catholic Churches which are obviously Obi supporters as majority are Ibos.

VoteTinubu2023:
Majority of these unknown ignorant dumb-bleeps complaining about the possible Tinubu Muslim-Muslim ticket are never going to vote for him even if he decides to pick a Christian vice.

So, you wonder what exactly is their intention?

Remember to Vote Tinubu 2023.

Vote APC in 2023 Presidential elections

God bless Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Pakute:
Ipob group. If Tinubu chooses a Christian, will ipob vote for him?

Mccullum:
IT IS ONLY AN IDIOT WILL HAVE SUCH CONCLUSION OF YOURS AGAINST ISLAM.

Burgerlomo:
100 million and some other money he has spent went down the drain just like that, Ngige is a very smart man.

Olatunji1929:
don't you see the handwriting on the wall?can't you see that akintola is only fighting for apc members not Muslims right as he always claimed?how many time has he condemned buhari govt or speak against this govt even when Muslim rights is being violated under buhari govt?Akintola is not fighting for Muslim he is being bankroll by Tinubu and expects him to show more of his true color as Tinubu campaign kick off

Rastaramsey:

Opolopoopolonio:
Piggiiddiootts are dullllards, I swear!

Can't you all deduce from the post that Tinubu has stylishly chosen a muslim deputy to please the core north and then left it open to them to do otherwise with the slot.

If Masari steps down, nobody will blame Tinubu. Tinubu will absolve himself.

And if Masari remains, nobody will accuse Tinubu of intentionally running with a muslim since Masari has already been assumed to be a placeholder ab initio

So it's a win-win for Tinubu.

With this strategy, Tinubu has cleverly outsmarted those waiting to ambush him with the issue of running mate...

Lovenorth:
Constitution of Nigeria is not against Muslim Muslim ticket and any faith that goes against it should not complain of marginalisation when we form our government next year, religion is never a factor what matters is compitent hands in the government
