Why are people working so hard to give this election an ethic colouration. We are talking about competence and good verifiable track records.
We have a budget riddled with deficits, and the concern of this group is ethnicity.

Peter Obi has large followers because he did the right things years ago. Peter said he hasn't collected a kobo from his state confers as entitlement as an ex governor, I wonder how many ex governorscan say this. Peter Obi left a hand over note, with monies in banks published all over the national dailies. Peter Obi didn't borrow money all the while he presided over Anambra State, looking at the caliber of politicians in our country today, Peter Obi is a rare breed.

Everyone that loves Nigeria knows that Peter Obi is the right man for the job.

Yes it should be prosecuted through the court but tax evasion is a criminal offence and not a civil matter.

.

You still have to go to the court, no one is allowed under the constitution to be a judge and a jury. Kogi should go to court.

Industrial disputes are civil matter that should be handled by court but no, my black brothers want answers ASAP, no regard for due process.

One thing is clear, Dangote will be fine heads or tail same as Kogi state governor. But for the workers whom are about to lose their jobs because of the stand off, may God be with you and grant you the wisdom to prevail.

What a time to be alive in Nigeria.

Over the years, the Nigerian politicians have over looked the Internet and the power it offers. Internet has made businesses easier, Internet has created many billionaires in Naira yet when it gets to politics, they will tell you the "no polling unit online".

Then Peter Obi happened, a man who have shown that it is possible to govern a state with having Efcc friends after wards like the cases of Rochas Okorocha, Orji Uzor Kalu, Chimaroke Nnamani etc.

The Internet has served as a reliable library where we can search and research on anyone thus our politicians past deeds have come home to roost.

Peter Obi didn't gain wide acceptance by vote buying, lying or any illegal means, he is simply saying the thoughts of every right thinking person. We can't claim to be poor and at same time flying PJ'S with several aides. We need to trim cost of governance, manage our scarce resources prudently like Peter Obi did in Anambra State.
We also need to invest in Education, because that's a sure way to curb insecurity, it is said that when a man picks a book, he drops the gun.

Vote wisely in 2023, your vote can positively change Nigeria's story.

All forms of violence and thuggery condemned in totally, it shouldn't have a place in our democracy if we are to progress as a nation.

The beauty of democracy

Nice one from everybody we will get it right this time around

Source of wealth please?

I don't know but what I know is buying and selling is magic. You import 40ft of Jameson from Scotland at factory price let's say 5k per bottle, shipping and customs bring up price to 7k, Obi sales 10k per bottle in open market, or 50k when sitting at the VIP. Not that easy but it is being done repeatedly.

"Two wrongs can't make a right". The police authority should as a matter of urgency re educate most of her junior officers about proper public conduct. What an embarrassing moment for the police officer.

It is expected, Baba needs to rest, he can not come and die before February 2023, he has told everyone that it is his turn. He needs to rest in Aso villa. Baba can not come and kill him self.

Jones4190:
If Peter Obi, who is a gentlemen, cannot influence his followers to behave like gentlemen and ladies, how can he influence the entire country to move in the right direction? If he cannot manage his most loyal supporters, how will he manage the muslim north?

It will be an error to say "All" his supporters are not gentle, except you have written him off, I find it funny that most people that are against Obi not because he is not fit for the job, but rather because if the comments from some of his supporters. May I remind you that is Peter Obi that will be President and not his supporters, and also I think our focus should be a better prosperous nation where everyone interests are protected. That's why we should hire a competent fit for purpose CEO.

Mexyz:
That was actually from Lucky Dube in his Rasta man's prayer track.

Thanks man

How old men tell lies with straight face. Lucky Dube said it. " Politicians want to thank you father, for making to lie with a straight face while the nation suffer".
This Tinubu lagos strategy is dead on arrival,
Does it mean the men that governed lagos before and after him did nothing? What of Buhari Nigeria? These clowns should rest abeg. Kayamo is a huge disappointment to the soul of Gani.

All I can say is "only" please remove the subsidy but the problem is that the money saved from subsidy will be rebooted.

OnyeAshuaUru:
No sane Igbo man will choose Amoda Ogunlere over Peter Obi.

Say no sane Nigerian. Some of us are not Igbo but we love the Obi vibes.

yomi961:
Structure is key to winning elections. I have heard many Obidients debating over this, but there's no two ways about it, you need concrete structure to win election in Nigeria. Maybe you don't understand what we mean by structure, let me break it down for you. If you have governors, senators and members of the federal house of reps contesting under your platform, you've got a structure. Even so, a party that has this structure in government before now has an edge. This is because they must have had a hold on their followers and can determine where the votes go. Whether we like it or not, PDP and APC have this on ground and may edge LP in that regard. Note that even in the south east, if Peter Obi wins, it means the state governors decided to work against PDP which I don't see them doing so. Working against PDP means ruining their chances. I give you a simple example, in 2015, many PDP parliamentarians from the north asked their followers to vote out Goodluck Jonathan. They taught only Jonathan will be affected but they too were voted out and a lot of them did not return to the national assembly. This is what will happen if PDP gubernatorial candidates/parliamentarians from the south east choose to work against PDP.

You guys missed it a long time ago before the primaries. When you say power should return to the south, you allowed Wike and Co to take over the party structure, Obi left. You guys dribbled Wike and now he can't stop crying.

You guys have a problem in your hands. And Obi is a solution and not a problem, I and my household will vote Obi because he is the only one among the candidates that diasects issues affecting Nigeria and Nigerians. This is not time for tribal politics but a time to vote in a competent and visionary leader.

Thank God for Internet, you can access Peter Obi's speeches and comments on national issues almost ten years ago, you will see a man who has constantly preached about cutting cost of governance, investment in education, saving our resources for rainy days, public officers using public funds for good public use and not as their pocket money.


For the above reasons, I will vote for Peter Obi, I will campaign for him using my resources, I will attend his rallies, I am one of his structures. I hope you can research on this and also vote for Peter Obi for a better Nigeria is the best thing that can happen to you and I.

Daalu.

PROPHETmichael:
You think a man will rule oil rich Rivers state for 8 years and be made redundant? Oga in politics, money talks and Wike is heavily loaded. You better wake up because even the newly elected officials will need the support of Wike to survive Rivers politics.

.

Money and power are different. Currently Nyesom has both but by 2023 he will relinquish power, then you will know which is greater of the two. Who has more influence today between Wike, Amaechi, Odili and Omehie? Remember they were once all Governors of Rivers state.

One thing is for sure, come may 2023, Wike will have no elective position, he will be a yeoman. He will need the support of elected officials to survive politically. This is the twilight of his administration and he has decided to hug the headlines tightly while making deals with all the presidential hopefuls.

AntiChristian:
OBJ has no say!

He's one of those who shouldn't be talking anymore! He said so many unprintable things against Atiku in his book. Yet he'll still frolic with Atiku now!

When OBJ was the president Atiku was the VP. Tinubu was an opposition governor while Obi was a governor in the ruling party!

OBJ did witheld Lagos state funds for months yet in the end Lagos still faired better till they won!

The IGR of Lagos today is greater that that of the whole SE region!

Obi was a governor in opposition party Apga. Peter Obi behaved like a man who knows the needs of tomorrow by insisting as far back as 2014 that we cut the cost of governance and save our money for the rainy day. Now the rains are here no $to pay schools fees. If we truly want a better country, Peter Obi is not a Saint but he is miles ahead on the options available.

Peter Obi.

Peter is the one that has been hammering on prudent management of Nigeria's scarce resources since at least 2014. When you check our revenue as a nation, you will agree with me that we can be a better nation on the amount generated as revenue. But mismanagement has made us to be under performing. Peter Obi managed the little he was given well (Anambra) so that's why I trust in his presidency to manage the big one (Nigeria) well. Vote Peter Obi please for a sure better Nigeria

emmaodet:
My brother, nowadays family members are terrible.
My own brother too that we sponsored to UAE after graduating and working there (150k per month with accommodation) still feels bitter and entitled that he is working hard, struggling in dubai when his brother can make his life better.
I have sent him countless messages on whatsapp and facebook messenger this year but he won't reply.
He is keeping malice with me because i scolded and shout at him not to disturb my life again when he told me to raise money for him to relocate to either UK, US or canada. A 32 years old man still thinking like a baby.
Terrible fmily memebers

He is family, one thing about us Africans is the deep rooted communal family culture. Still speak with him, if his relocation makes more economic sense I will advise you "invest" in it if you have the resources. Sometimes family bond are held together by the strongest(rich), send a message again and ask him about his relocation plans.

The brother self. Mathias accused Paul of consulting a witch doctor to bewitch Kylian Mpappè. You wonder what you will do if your brother is Paul Pogba, you can make legit money off him. You can start a good business/football academy and sure capital won't be a challenge, you can help him manage his money, you can get a good degree in finance and help him and his friends to manage the "arm robber" salary. The opportunities of being a brother to Paul Pogba are endless except if you are looking for handouts.

How big is the room that probably 6 drunk men slept in ?

Is all about what is in it for you in long run, where will you be in 5 years time on both roles? Which path will aid you achieve your personal goals? But finally, God rules in our affairs. I pray that God guides you. Shalom.

jimetagambo:
The west is much more technologically advanced than Chinko. Chinko is the one playing catch up with their copy copy

.

The short steal everything, lower the standard and sell to Africans. Look closely, u will marvel at Chinese ingenuity. The west cannot fight against the Chinese, the closest the west has come was when Thrump insisted on balanced trade deals, the Chinese have been reeping off the west and sadly the west can not do anything about it.

BATified2023:
but here they are already attributing it to tinubu

Is that not madness

.

Tinubu is not the best choice for a better Nigeria. Can we have a civil conversation on that? I will give reasons why we should do better as Nigerian citizens.

God1000:
She's fearless and unshakable, she doesn't bow to dictators, she stood up to trump tyranny throughout his presidency.

Her visit to Taiwan will test China's appetite for confrontation as well

Those short men are chess players, carefully analyse their moves and you will find out the are steps ahead, the West is playing catch up sadly.

They reported on radio that the fire was caused by a vehicle conveying "kpofire".

Congratulations to Tobi, looks like people that bears that name always excel. I hope Mr Governor actually did contribute financially or the money is still with accounts and will soon be released?

mycar:
Is connected to Tinubu unwillingness to negotiate with him, he has been used and dumped

I need a credible source to confirm this news, because the implications of this is weighty for 2023 Rivers and national elections.
