Nigerians are so selfishly unpatriotic. Obviously d new tax laws will help d country with more funds for infrastructures but due to some selfish reasons they are opposing it. But they go abroad to countries where gains of taxes are so clear. They'll carry their phones and be showing off.
Even if your arguments are based on government officials will eat your taxes, is not paying taxes d solution?.

Nigerians want their country to be developed and compare infrastructure in China, USA, and Canada but are not ready to endure the sacrifice those country made.

Recently Anthony Joshua paid almost 40% tax on his earnings from his recent fight in the USA and also uk.

Streetinvestor2:
Don't worry even if obi decides not contest. In your mind we will vote a drug baron because SS,SE and north don't have sense again .You don't know SW president is never an option to us in 2027

There is nothing like SS/SE.

You people hated ss people, e.g saro wiwa, adaka boro, ejoor, akpabio and Reno.

Your acrimony and fake love is because of Niger delta oil

They will remain because of Atiku dollar.

The defection of Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State and the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, into the ADC coalition has effectively kicked off the race for the 2027 general election.

The big question now is: who are the gladiators within the ADC, and who are the likely presidential candidates to emerge?

At the moment, it is difficult to dispute the fact that the contest for the ADC presidential ticket is shaping up primarily between Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar (with all due respect to Rotimi Amaechi).

Major Power Blocs Within the ADC
Presently, the ADC appears to be made up of three major blocs:

1. The Obi Bloc

2. The Atiku Bloc

3. The CPC Bloc (largely made up of former Buhari-aligned politicians)

Possible Presidential–Vice Presidential Permutations
Several combinations are already being discussed within political circles:

Most Talked About
1. Atiku / Obi – This is the arrangement some APC elements want the public to believe has been agreed upon, but for now, it remains speculative.

Strong Possibilities
2. Obi / Aminu Tambuwal
3. Obi / Nasir El-Rufai
4. Obi / Rabiu Kwankwaso – This is dependent on whether Kwankwaso eventually aligns with the coalition.

Less Likely Combinations
5. Amaechi / El-Rufai
6. Amaechi / Tambuwal

The Big Question
Given the current alignments, internal power dynamics, and regional considerations, which combination is most likely to emerge as the ADC ticket for 2027?

Kindly drop your opinion in the comment section

This your permutations could have worked in 2023.

2027 will be a different ball game.

Obi popularity was tested in Anambra, during the recent governorship election he failed.

Same as tambuwal in sokoto.

ADC best bet is 2031.

No northerner will vote an 80yrs plus man for president.

Yar adua debacle comes to mind

Ononuga should have ignore the nonetity.

The same irrelevant politician who could not deliver for ADC in the recent Anambra governorship election.

Obi is a spent force.

The most Defected politician of all time.


Moving from pillar to post.



This guy is just wasting his time away thinking other tribe will vote him again.

shortgun:
Atiku or Obi will reverse all the nonsensical names on that list and recall all of them come 2027.

For your dream or nightmares.

ComeComing:
Do you have any proof to backup your accusation?

Stop being blinded by tribalism.

Nigerians will reject an incompetent former Anambra governor, just like Anambra rejected him recently.

ComeComing:
Your post further validates my claim that Atiku/Obi merger will unseat Tinubu presidency.

And to your question, No. Let us first unseat Tinubu in 2027, then we'll start to think of how to achieve that. You walk before you run.

In addition to that, Tinubu is a treacherous human being that will go to any length to secure a second term.. so, desperate times requires desperate measures.

Better wake up.

Obi that could not deliver Anambra in the governorship election, after having his poster with that of his candidate litter the street of nnewi.

Atiku/obi ticket is dead on arrival.

The country have moved past the 2023 election, 2027 dynamic is a different ball game.

ComeComing:
Obi is an honest leader. What else do you want?

Honest leader keeping state funds in personal business of interest.

Honest leaders because he is Igbo like u.

Racoon:
In so much that Nnamdi Kanu hardened revolutionary worldview was prompted by the injustice of the state to the south east, the fact remains that the injustice still persists. Hence going to produce more headliners than ever seen. BH terrorists and jihadists can't be living in peace and separatist being in jail.

Freedom fighters indeed

Same situation also applies to southeast.

Corpers are avoiding that region.

These S.E OP said we should comot Tinubu and handover to obi.

Guy no one take you serious again.

You were part of them only lamenting because you are out of government.

onuman:
If Peter Obi's corrupt, your Tinubu is what?

May what Tinunu's APC did to Nigeria happen to you.

Everyone knows he is a FRAU-D

Nigerians are behind you adeyanju.

Help us exposed and disgrace the agulu fraud, thief and hypo-crite.

Racoon:
All that is happening is criminal state capture that has happened and continued to happen but being disguised as democracy.

Sadly a despicable humanity championing the same doom is oblivious of what happened to the tyrannical Abacha that was busy acknowledging such evil being visited upon the land. Humanity don't learn from history.

Ibo man hat-red for Yoruba and northerners

Continue.

Orlandoo:
Nigeria military is not that gallant.

Because your candidate lost an election

Walai:
Good to know you agreed he lost the election. The same North that helped rig him in have learnt their lesson. Lets see how he will do it this time. Save this for future reference

So election was not rig for obi in the east.

99% for obi in Anambra and other southeast state were not rigged result.

Dey play

I thought some mu-gu said he will stepdown and be a state man and give support to one guy from Agulu.

Someone should remind this guy, there was nothing like chairman for local government when he was governor.

Is that not local government capture.

DMerciful:
You don't know anything.
The opposition has agreed a unified front is required to defeat Tinubu hence the need for a coalition. Obi and GEJ cannot contest separately against Tinubu if the opposition wants to win.

That is why they need to align and bring out one person. So stop your mischief, it can be seen from a mile away

Align to defeat a man all of them claim victory over in 2023.

Begi begi presidential candidate and supporters.

Bobloco:
In the wake of global protests most recently the spirited demonstrations in Nepal, Nigeria’s ruling elite and their most vocal supporters seem increasingly nervous. The mere mention of protest now triggers fear-mongering, threats, and desperate attempts to silence dissent. One recent example is comedian-turned-political-influencer Seyi Law, a staunch supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who warned Nigerians calling for protests to learn from Libya.

But what exactly should Nigerians learn? That asking for good governance is dangerous? That protesting economic hardship is now a crime? Or that authoritarian regimes survive only when the people are too afraid to speak?

This reaction is not just undemocratic, it is steeped in hypocrisy.
Tinubu himself built much of his political relevance by using protest and civil disobedience as tools of resistance. He was a key figure during the 2012 fuel subsidy protests under President Goodluck Jonathan. In Ojota, he funded, organized, and marched with the masses against the removal of subsidy a policy he now ruthlessly enforces, with far worse consequences and even less transparency.

If Tinubu were in opposition today, he would be leading protests against this very government against soaring inflation, a collapsing currency, skyrocketing fuel prices, mass unemployment, and growing insecurity. His political playbook was written in the language of resistance. Yet today, his allies treat protest as rebellion and activism as treason.

So why the sudden change?
The truth is simple: what Tinubu’s supporters fear is not chaos, they fear accountability.

Protests expose the those in power. They draw attention to failed policies, broken promises, and a growing disconnect between leaders and the people. Tinubu’s camp fears Nigerians are waking up to the truth that docility is not peace, and silence is not support.

Using Libya as a scare tactic to silence Nigerians is not only dishonest, it’s deeply insulting. Libya didn’t collapse because citizens protested, it collapsed because of an unyielding regime that refused reform, clung to power, and met dissent with brutality. Ironically, that’s the very behavior protests are meant to stop.

Nigerians have a proud tradition of protest, from fighting colonial rule, to resisting military dictators, to opposing unjust economic reforms. If democracy is to mean anything, it must include the right to speak out, to organize, and to protest.

So, again, why are Tinubu, the APC, and Agbadoos so afraid of protests? Because they know their government cannot survive real scrutiny. Because they know their house is built on the same shaky foundations they once stood outside protesting against. And because this time, they know the people are waking up and losing their fear.

The 2012 protest event took place in most Southwest states.

Protest in your region and leave others out of it.

How this past criminally minded man became a a modern day messiah needs to be studied.

A gay father will never be Nigeria president.

That is committing sacrileged.

Obi should be ashamed of himself as a father.

Streetinvestor2:
Free laptop gang. If obi son like Let him live with lucifer. That is his business.
Igbos are voting obi and not his son.
Tinubu has improved nigeria economy in just 2 yrs is why igbos want him out.
U should start campaigning for seyi as next governor of lagos

Fixed.

Very disgusting, obi failed as a father and also as governor.

Imagine a man who want to save Nigeria could not protect his son going astray( Sodom way).

May obi never happened to Nigeria.
