Why are talking rubbish

Igbos picked Obasanjo over Ojukwu because Nigeria agreed to elect a Yoruba because of 1993

You can't compare Nicholas or any SE politician to Peter Obi

Is it Tinubu that couldn't identify with his people when they're being massacred that will protect them

IPOB agitation started as a result of marginalisation of SE by Buhari

One of the reasons for insecurity is lack of job and good economy will solve 59% of that

You can't solve it completely but can reduce it to the barest minimum

Think with your head and not with your bum

You honestly think its lack of job or poverty that makes Fulani herdsmen,Unknown Gunmen and Boko haram exist?
We are talking about terrorists here.

People that believe every kill gives them another virgin in heaven.
These people are not doing it because of poverty, they believe they fight for Allah.

Do you think those ones care about a job?

Many of them are not even educated and they are financed by billionaires and powerful, well connected politicians.

What makes you so sure that the same Igbos that chose an Obasanjo that literally fought against Biafra in 1967-1970 over their own hero -Ojukwu will not choose Atiku or even Tinubu over Obi?

Why didnt they choose Olu Falae instead of OBJ then? Was he not also Yoruba.


IPOB are the major cause of insecurity in Anambra now, they kill their own kin for stepping out on Mondays.
This group was formed when Obi was Governor and he did nothing about it.

What of Evans? It was 3years after Obi had left office that he was finally caught.

tuoyoojo:
Chief don't forget NC, kogi, benue, plateau , nasarawa. The number of Christians are formidable

Kogi,Abuja,Nassarrawa and Kwara have more muslims.

So even in SE, Obi is not 100% certain of winning.

Half of them want Biafra and may likely not vote.

Among the half that wants to vote, some will be scared of coming out to vote, thanks to IPOB.

Among those that are brave enough to come out to vote, many will still vote for PDP because of the structure they have build already in SE and that they will likely have an Igbo VP.



Politics is game

This is what will happen..

NE - PDP
NW - APC and NNPP share
NC - APC
SW - APC
SS & SE- PDP and LP share

I joined SS and SE together because their voting population is small compared to other zones.

jerseyboy:
Igbo will have no choice but vote PDP Atiku/Wike because of hatred of Yoruba and fear of Tinubu in particular.

That is where Obi comes in.
He will cannibalise many SE votes that PDP would have gotten and that indirectly favours APC.

Tingotoe:
Peter Obi cannot win the presidency next year. He's in a party that lacks structure and finance and also his popularity ends in his home region of the south east. I wonder how his party is going to convince millions of the illiterate electorate up north to abandon Atiku and vote for him. I also want to see how he plans on getting the SW voters to jump on his bandwagon. Sorry but DOA 2023 maybe some other time sha

No mind them, they know the reality but prefer living in denial as it keeps their hopeless hope alive.

Obi may not even get more votes than Kwankwaso.

The guy needs better advisers.

Imagine the pot calling kettle 'black'.

Only IBB and maybe Abacha ruined Nigeria and stole as much as OBJ.

The problem is Nigerians dey get selective amnesia and/or nostalgic bias to ex presidents.

OBJ and GEJ are now seen as good presidents.

Maybe 10years from now, Buhari and his opinion too will be respected.

This one that will soon beg to join APC.

Fani Kayode did and said way more than this, now he is on Channels defending Tinubu like he is his father.

Politicians mtchww

And he still indirectly wanted another Fulani man in Atiku to continue as president while those herdsmen and gunmen keep killing Nigerians.

hotseat:
Tinubu's political dexterity and innate intellect is being called to question as it were.


The northern oligarchs, hegemonists, and power brokers having failed in their desperate bid to impose a northern candidate on the party, are now in a dangers drawn situation by trying to force a core northern Muslim on Asiwaju to checkmate him just like Atiku did against OBJ and to make Tinubu a puppet of his northern "masters".


Boss Mustapha or Simon Lalong, they claim have not

Tinubu unlike Abiola and Awolowo is a very curny man.

He will outsmart these Northerners in their own game.
He did it in the primaries and will do it in the VP selection and main election.

He is more similar to OBJ than Abiola.

Asiwaju can not be controlled by any Northerner.

Just watch it happen.

JosephXavier:
You have nothing to say

Obi formed and equiped the famous AVS to combat criminality and restored Anambra to peace and order and crime was reduced to it's barest minimum

Obi only had to get 25% votes in the country to qualify as the president and these 24 states will give him that
Abia
Akwa Ibom
Anambra
Bauchi
Benue
Cross River
Delta
Ebonyi
Enugu
Ekiti
Gombe
Kogi
Lagos
Nasarawa
Fct
Ogun
Ondo
Osun
Oyo
Plateau
Rivers
Sokoto
Taraba
Niger State

I didn't say win, I mean just 25% votes from youths and Nigerians who are tired of the current status quo of bad governance

Yet it didnt stop the formation of BZM n IPOB or the billionaire kidnapper-Evans in his tenure.

But somehow you think he is the one that will stop Bokoharam,Fulani herdsmen,unknown gunmen of entirely different tribe and religious base financed by several powerful men.

Man is talking about making the Economy better when the seed of insecurity in his own state was planted by Nnamdi Kanu during his tenure as Governor.

What is the point of economy if we are all dead?

Obi's only chance of having a chance on this election is if he merges with Kwankwaso.
Then it will be about deciding who gets the ticket of the 'third force' between then and who accepts 'running mate' position.
.

Moghalu,Sowore,Oby attempted similar in 2019 but they couldnt come to an agreement on the flagbearer.

A nothing person in Felix Nicholas from 'PCP' got more votes than all 3 combines simply because his party name and flag was very similar to PDP.
Even with that his 107k votes wasnt up to 1% of the 11.2m votes PDP got, and PDP didnt even win.

This is assuming the Igbos even help him win his own zone to start with.
Ojukwu that is the hero of all Igbos couldnt even get the required votes to win SE when he contested in 2003 and 2007.

nkem1992:
So he should waste his hard earned money in an attempt to compete Atiku..He stand no Chance, He is still fighting today because he ran away yesterday...

Why didnt he run away 2years or even a year ago?

Talentempire:
Even if you don't like Peter Obi
For your own safety vote for him

Tinubu would have been a good leader but now is the wrong time cos age is seriously against him
he may have good intentions for the country but he may not be able to deliver.
He may just be a picture president
And criminals will keep looting and insecurity may go out of control.
Before you vote think carefully


Atiku is also a good candidate but may not be able to control his Fulani brothers so one can say Nigerians should expect double of what you are seeing now if he eventually get into office.
Think before you vote.

Vote for the safety of Nigeria
Someone needs to balance this country before it is too late.

Voting for Obi is about as effective as voting for voting for Sowore.
It indirectly favours the incumbent party, especially if these votes cannibalises PDP stronghold in SE.

JosephXavier:
Don't sleep, don't sleep
Wake up

You can't see the wave raging around you

What wave?

Donald Duke do pass this one in 2015 and 2019.
Una never sabi d country wey una dey.

You think Nigeria is just the Southern region alone.
Even in the Southern region, Tinubu will still get more votes than Obi ; whether you love or hate him.

Wave kor, Waver ni.... no face reality.

You obviously have no clue of what you are talking about.

To win the presidential election, the consistitution requires you to claim 2/3 of the country.
That is 66.67% of the country's vote.

I dont know where you got 25%?

Obi isnt even sure of beating PDP with that margin in his own SE zone talk more Northern Nigeria that has 3 zones and he nor his party is barely known or SW that is clearly Tinubu's base.

See him mentioning Lagos,Oyo,Ondo,Ekiti, even Taraba,Nassarawa,Kogi,Niger LWKMDO

If you go and ask an average Northerner who Obi is,they will tell you that he is a trader or chemist in Sabongari.
Even in the SW ,how many pepper sellers or bricklayers know what Labour Party is or their logo?.

It will shock you that even Kwankwaso will pull more votes than Obi.

You think presidential election is same as social media poll

jrusky:
If Atiku pick Wike the deal is done I will fully support my party but if they fail to do that then I won't vote at all by 2023 because I can't vote Obi and let heaven fall nothing in this world will make me vote for apc if they like let them elect Pope as their flag bearer I will not vote for that party.

I had said it over and over two gentlemen had failed Nigerian so its not a working tactics all we need is one gentleman and one raw man I want someone that will destroy these motherfucker fulani herds with no fear, enough is enough and only Wike has the ball since he missed the presidency he should be pick for VP.

A VP is a figure head and have little real power.
Also he cant go against the President no matter how much he disapproves.

This is where having an actual Southern president with as much balls and madness to give those Fulani herdsmen wotowoto if they dare come close to his main region/base.

tuoyoojo:
Tinubu picking a northern Muslim would be fantastic

Then him and atiku would finally cancel out each other in the North

With that said

The innuendo he would be sending to the south and Christain dominated part of the country is that Christains don't matter

I give it to tinubu he does not come as a religious fanatic but during elections perceptions matters alot

Buhari was loved because of his anti-corrupution stance in 2015 and the same played in 2019 ( when atiku said he would sell NNPC)

The religion part may seem primordial but it is there

This is where Peter obi would benefit because christains would want to make a statement. Someone whose antecedence for education and human capital development stands out

All that is left is for his "human structures" in the rural areas to be vocal about his achievements and not his region

The religious perception of PO would be an added advantage

There are more muslims than christians in Nigeria.

In fact the only zones that have majority as christians are SS and SE.

SW is shared relatively equally between Christians and Muslims of which many of the Christians that are Yoruba will still vote for Tinubu as in Yoruba land, tribe matters more than religion.

Whether Tinubu has a muslim or a christian running mate, Obi will still not get more than his expected votes in SW.

JosephXavier:
Terrorists nearly wiped out Tinubu's community and Tinubu didn't talk, instead he was asking "where is the cow?", Or wasn't Tinubu also silent?

You can't blackmail me with me with threat

If there is anyone that will die untimely, then that has to be you since you don't know your real enemies?

Peter Obi is the only person who has constantly spoken out, during endsars, against bad government and also profered solutions for the herdsmen and insecurity challenges we're facing

Vote for him so that you will not die untimely and protect the whole of your village from herdsmen attack

Its not about speaking, its about action.

Evans reigned supreme when Obi was Anambra state Governor and IPOB was also formed then.

Moreso, realistically Obi wont win any state in NE,NW,NC or even SW.

SE will be shared with PDP
SS will be shared with APC and PDP and they are even a small population.

The idea of Tinubu over Atiku is that he is a SW and a rascally one at that.
He isnt one to turn a blind eye while 'foreigners' kill his own people and destroy the structure he spent decades building in SW.

Atiku on the other hand is more like Buhari.
As a Fulani man, he wont want to go against his own people, no matter how bigotted they are obviously.

There are muslim bigots and there are forward-thinking, exposed muslims like Tinubu, Fashola.

Dogara seem to be the best option for Northern Christian but if he must select a muslim, he should find a Forward-thinking Northern Muslim.

El Rufai(as FCT minister) and Nuhu Ribadu(as EFCC chairman) used to be exposed and forward thinking Northern muslims but i'm not sure about now.

Yahaya Bello is another exposed/ unbigotted Muslim.
Just that Kogi is not core North.


If tribe and religion wasnt a factor at all, Ameachi would have been my preferred candidate.

Tinubu-Ameachi

Validated:
Tinubu/elRufai is DEAD ON ARRIVAL

A blasphemer to run with a vegetable? I laff in the spirit

That clearly shows that he is quoting someone's comment with the " " and the handle mentioned.

Learn to read

Arrant Nonsense.

You have no right to force anyone to have a PvC.

And even if they do have Pvc, it doesnt mean they will vote.

All these Obi supporters need to go to the North as most dont even know how he looks like there.

It could be Ameachi vs Wike as running mates of their respective parties

BigDawsNet:
My Predictions if he eventually become the next president

Fulani terrorist will go on temporary leave

Economy will improve ( it won't sky rocket) but it will elevate

Gas price may not really change

Dollar will fall... not 150... but 300

Nigeria will be little secured a bit

Employment will increase..( multiple people will get opportunities in military and para military career)

Tinubu will share post among yoruba, hausa, igbo and fulani...

Nurtw will get more recognition and funding in federal level... MC may become federal president

Nigeria passport will get stronger after first tinubu tenure

More taxes is on the way.. brace up Nigerians(Tinubu will not depend on oil resources alone

We may have another incoming traveling president

You see that Fulani herdsmen part, that is the main reason i'll rather have Tinubu than Atiku.

Make i see the Fulani herdsman wey go get mind come kill innocent people in SW when OBJ 2.o in Tinubu is president.

Person wey dey find VP slot.

Politics is not about honour.

yahoosurepass:
For anyone who step down for TINUBU in this primary election has already stepped down whatever good in his life and that of his/her generation to come...Amen

If the votes of the other aspirants are combined together , Tinubu still have almost double their votes combined.

tobtap:
tinubu over atiku thou.... but i wish peter obi had a stronger party to contest on... LP cant win presidential election in naija...

You are a realist

That is the bitter truth that these Obi fans on social media know but wont admit.

If he isnt careful, Atiku might still beat him(Obi) even in SE

Tinubu don turn to "my friend"

politics shaa

gambojimeta:
Osibanjo also got taught a bitter lesson in politics of Loyalty. He can now retire and become irrelevant in politics like Ambode.

When Tinubu said he helped Buhari become president, truth be told, he wasn't lying.



You guys don't ever get tired. You guys said Lawan will win. Well the northern delegates and northern governors just gave Tunubu the APC presidential ticket instead of Lawan. Perhaps, the Loyal North after 8 years of Buhari understands that power will return to them after Tinubu's turn


Another Fulani would further embolden the cow herders and bandits causing havoc all over in the country and Atiku would remain silent just as in the Deborah's case.

As for Peter Obi, he would come 3rd in the real election and 1st on social media election.

Even Kwankwaso may pull more votes than Obi.

Couldnt even beat Ameachi.

Shior

Upon all the oratory prowess last night.

not even one vote?

Mikelarteta:
This guy is part of the reason 60% of people don’t want Tinubu.

Na people like Oluomo and his touts fit fight those Fulani herdsmen.
