zeuss: Ibo's make good of anything they are involved in..ask the British why the utilized only ibo as administrators during the colonial era to the envy of bigots like you.... Nigeria will be the best African country if the ibo run the mechanism.
Merit is inborn in ibo........look at the mess the current dispensation is making and even the past dispensation are you not ashamed?
And they never made good governor in their various states.
Penguin2: If getting pot bellied hooligans who are only trying to protect their interest, to defect to APC is what you call handwriting on the wall, then I laugh in mkpuma akpatakpa😏
In the run on to the 2022 PDP National Congress, Obidients organized a nationwide march demanding PDP to adopt Peter Obi as their candidate and leave the rest of the fight for Nigerian youths, but many people in PDP weren’t convinced at all. Their reason? Obi cannot win a national election.
To the naysayers in PDP then, they insisted an Igbo man cannot win a National election for their party. They were certain Atiku will win them the election by 12 noon on Election Day.
Peter Obi saw the signs and left the PDP to Labour Party. A party that was just there. People laughed at him and those supporting him. They said Labour Party had no structure. Some swore Obi will not win a single Local Government. Others swore he won’t score up to 1million votes. But in less than 8 months, Obi was able to galvanize his supporters and went into the election and came out with 6.1million votes officially allocated to him by INEC. By that result, he was just 800k behind the Atiku they swore would win the election even with all of PDP’s structure, Governors, Senators, House of Rep Members and others. The country is still in shock till today.
Now, as the preparation for 2027 elections heats up with talks of coalition ongoing, the naysayers against Peter Obi have started their usual rhetorics. They are swearing Peter Obi is not a match for Tinubu; that only Atiku can face Tinubu and win. And I can’t help but laugh.
So I ask, who do you think will pose a tougher challenge for Tinubu in 2027? Is it Atiku or Peter Obi?
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
Keep in mind that should Atiku emerge the coalition candidate, it would truly be the battle of South vs North. No matter how hard anyone tries, that sentiment will rally the south behind Tinubu. All that will be needed will be the votes of some northern Christians, who mostly vote in same direction with the south, and Tinubu returns to power.
But with Peter Obi?
With Peter Obi as the coalition candidate, the Southeast and Southsouth will be locked down. Tinubu will be restricted to the Southwest (some Southwest votes if you like).
In the north, the northern Christians will always choose Obi over Tinubu any day and time.
And then all that will be needed will be for Atiku, Elrufai, and their men to deliver the core north and the election will be won by noon day on Election Day.
But these are just my own thoughts. What is yours?
Who do you think will pose a tougher challenge to Tinubu in 2027, and why?
This post should be meant for 2031 election not 2027.
Can't u read the signs or the handwriting on the wall.
APC already won the election even before it started.
APC is winning the next election with at least 11m to 12m votes.
Alex Otti, Governor of Abia State said Not everyone must be in the APC; this is a democracy, and sometimes you must stand for something. I can't say I wouldn't leave the Labour Party; what if the party is non-existent tomorrow? As of now, we have fought for and retrieved the Labour Party; all Abure is doing is posturing.
Governor of labour Party who could not pay 70k minimum wage.
shortgun: Peter Obi did alot of good things when he was governor. He was the first governor in the history of Nigeria to leave billions in savings and investments while leaving office. This includes over $150 million dollar denominated bonds. The Innoson motors you hear today was made possible by Obi's support.... Importation and international trade is actually good for an economy especially a developing one like Nigeria, don't listen to road side economists who think otherwise.
Importation without equal exporting weakened the currency and also kill local manufacturers, leading to unemployment and job losses.
He should tell us how his practical approach succeeded in Anambra rather than using Indonesia and china as examples.
Justnation: I'm Other countries a man like PETER OBI would have been approached to come rescue a decaying nation infested with corrupt politicians like Nigeria, but here urchins prefer criminals in power due to tribalism and religious bigotry.
Someone who plunged small Anambra state into deep poverty level will rescue a country as big as Nigeria.
