Obviously!

He will drop out this July.

This was the prayer that finished Peter Obi's presidential ambition.

You can lie to man, but cannot lie to God.

The Anambra money he domiciled in his bank that made him profit, was not a service to the people.

The money he was hiding in secret Pandora offshore accounts under his daughter's name only after he became Anambra Governor, was not a service to the people.

Then you dare want to include God in your deception?

Haba megida!

You will certainly not win.

DMerciful:
Bring the advice otherwise STFU!!!

See the evidence.

Abi no be you dey cry like baby on Tinubu matter, even as those wey senior you dey tell you to stop living a delusion and grow up?

Baba don dey old ooo.

I hope he will stay strong until the thing reach his turn by 2039, if SouthSouth go jonz themselves.

Otherwise, let him console himself that when he was Governor, he turned Anambra state to Dubai level.

Shikini:
This is my own president.
The thief in Aso Rock is not my president

Happy Birthday, sir!
.

When will your own President release his own national minimum wage?

Abi as social media President from a Nigerian Labour Party that ensured the Labour Party of UK took over government in that country, he is totally useless to the demands of Labour in Nigeria?

Righteousness2:
Very Good one from the Netanyahu led Government.
I Stand with ISRAEL 1000%.
This is a thorough BIBLICAL Decision that the ISRAELI of today has proclaimed.

ISRAEL is GOD ALMIGHTY CHOSEN LAND AND NATION GIVEN Fully to the Jewish People.
No being, human, Spirit or Nation has any right to Divide GOD'S Land Under any guise.
Not even the Jews of today have the right under any guise or talk to do Such.

Any being or nation who is hungry for such can create Palestine state in Europe or America.

Dividing GOD'S LAND under any guise will bring about Calamities , Destructions and Desolations, the kind the Earth has Never seen since Creation.

Prime Minister NETANYAHU is Definitely Selected and Ordained from above to lead ISRAEL in these Endtimes.

You are far gone in this your fanaticism.

You are beyond rehabilitation and obviously did not learn from your folly when you continously disgraced yourself over Donald Trump's election loss in 2020.

alabo1:
That 11,500 might be worth more than 200,000 today .

Very possible.

That was the point I was, actually making about the N1 coin still being useful, and the low minimum wage.

eduli:
After all his government was better than we have it today

Actually, by now the 5parties = 1party state government would have continued to rule without any democratic freedoms that you now enjoy.

His son would have been preparing to take over from him like it happened in Togo with the Eyadema family.

Maybe Peter Obi would have continued working for the Abacha civilian regime, managing all the ports.

OBJ would have died in prison like Shehu Musa Yar'Adua.

Diya, Olanrewaju, and Adisa would have been executed later in 1998.

Sgt Rogers would have continued with his killer squad to eliminate any high profile Nigerian that oppose the Abacha government.

Abacha would have continued to promise that workers will smile soon, but would have continued to fight inflation better than the actual governments that came after him.

N1 coins could have remained useful, while labour might now have been fighting for N11,500 minimum wage.

She is a Rivers and Bayelsa combo.

Hopefully, this will assuage the feelings of this fellow below in the earlier topic announcing her appointment.

IfnobeGod20:
Even after I told you that APP was adopted for the benefit of the presidential election after ANPP and AD joint ticket, you still went to screenshot election template for me. It's good to be following through one comment, very important.
The political parties are PDP, ANPP and AD. No abracadabra.

I am still insisting that APP was the forerunner of ANPP.

Mahmud Waziri was the national chairman of APP that Oloye Olusola Saraki tried to bribe before the APP presidential primary with N30m cheque from Societe General Bank which he owned and was board Chairman.

Mahmud Waziri would later take a ministerial role in the newly inaugurated OBJ government, like Bola Ige of AD who was given the Power and Steel portfolio before being moved to Justice Ministry months later.

ANPP only came about as a name change towards the 2003 election.

I have given you evidence from a world renowned political center that monitored the political process and democratic transition in Nigeria, but you choose to remain uneducated and ignorant. That is your own loss.

I know what I know because I have been following political parties since the 5 leprous fingers of Abacha that endorsed him.

When it comes to political history from 1996 onwards, when Sumner Dagogo Jack headed NECON and always appeared on Tonight at 9 with Cyril Stober on NTA network news on Saturdays, I am a breathing encyclopedia.

Why I chose to study engineering instead of history or political science, still baffles my family.

IfnobeGod20:
Please go back and read again, I did mistake and posted wrong one. I have corrected it.

See attached the final report of the Carter Center on the 1998/1999 democratic transition in Nigeria.

The center was run by ex President of USA, Jimmy Carter.

You can see that the final 3 parties are PDP, APP and AD.

APP became ANPP just before the 2003 elections campaign began in 2002.

IfnobeGod20:
I have screened shot the political parties in Nigeria as at 1999 here for you to clear your doubt.
One thing about some of you that are. Tinubu's supporters is, you always what everyone to see Tinubu as a messiah and a person that is infallible. You claimed AD was factionalised that was why Tinubu left them and that was why I asked why didn't Tinubu stayed and correct the abnormalities in AD instead of running away, because in Nigeria I don't see any perfect political party, every political party have one issue or the other. Remember when Tinubu left the party in 2006, the party still fielded candidates for election. The party didn't die or scrapped and still in existence till date.
The bottom line is, Tinubu left a party still in existence and everyone knows why he left the party. Any how you wish to colour it, Tinubu defected to a new party. I can still remember that late Odumakin always say Tinubu betrayed Afenifere and they will never forgive him, just because he left their party, AD.

The screenshot is wrong.

APP existed before becoming ANPP.

Infact the Abdulsalami regime newly formed parties in 1998 were about 10, but after the initial local government elections for which a votes performance parameter was set, they were pruned down to 3, which included the lastly formed AD.

Did Peter Obi leave APGA and formed a new party or he went to the ruling party were food was ready?

Your analogy on Tinubu's departure from AD, where he left with most of the former Governors and all the elected officials from the party, is not the same as 1man decamping to join another party.

Tinubu left the party with his own faction and left behind a carcass for Obasanjo and PDP to continue to toil with and destabilize.

AcuraZDX:
Is it only SDP that I mentioned?

Why are you crying?

So why lie if you already knew the SDP you included did not exist in 1998?

I know you were just ashamed that Tinubu is not a ticket hunter or political prostitute like Obi and Atiku.

MrBrownJay1:
its way too late for anyone to campaign and reach every single states in the US... imagine all the major cities in all of the 50 US states, that this person would have to go to.

Bros, campaign never really start ooo.

Not until after the ongoing RNC convention and the DNC convention later in August.

All that is happening now is pre-campaign.

IfnobeGod20:
Mr. Man, you're talking to an adult and not a kid.
The bigger question you have refused to ask yourself is, why did Tinubu left AD? AD was still an active political party when Tinubu left them. If he so much believe in building party, he should have stayed in the party and weather the storm with them but he left it to merge with JP and ACP to form AC. Remember AD did not die as at the time he left them, even till date. Only they changed name to ADP.
Now, let me tell you why he left the AD, because he has no control of the party and his vision is to become the president of the country one day and that was why in all his 8 years as a governor, he was just playing politics while his commissioners were the one working for him and luckily he has many cerebral commissioners that can think out of the box for him. That is why you see anyone that dare him are always boxed and brushed aside. Tinubu was the only governor that used 3 deputy governors In a space of 8 years in the history of Nigeria because you dare challenge him. He was totally in control of political structure because of future ambition of becoming a president. That's why you see him poking his nose in all the states choosing who and who to be governor or that.

Now, on the issue of SDP. Have you asked yourself the question. Why didn't Tinubu reactivate SDP when he came from exile in 1998 and who later reactivated SDP? The bottom line is, SDP made Tinubu a senator and he started his political journey from SDP and that cannot be taken away from him, just the same way those that began their political journey from NRC cannot deny their root. As Tinubu always say he is a party man, SDP is a part and parcel of him and the only political party still in existence more than 30 years now, no logo changed.

Point of correction. During Abdulsalam we only have PDP, ANPP and AD. It was after the joint ticket of ANPP and AD that they formed APP for the sake of the election.

Point of correction, it was APP that later changed name to ANPP, just as AC changed bame to ACN.

The military government of Abdulsalami Abubakar was allowing formation of new parties and not a revival of old parties that were linked to the June 12 crises. So it was not Tinubu's place or any of the party chairman of thise old partues, like Tony Anenih, to re-establish any of SDP or NRC.

Jusf as Awolowo and Azikiwe did not re-establish AG or NCNC when the military government finally allowed a return to democracy that was planned for 1st October 1979.

So please stop making a foolish argument on that matter by comapring what was reestablished after many years of this current democracy, to the democratic rebirth that was allowed in 1998.

That AD, was highly factionalized from 2003 to 2006, is no news to those who followed politics closely then. A party that had about 3 different politicians claiming to be party national chairman to the benefit of Obasanjo's PDP. Yet, Tinubu chose to start again from zero with his own faction in a new party.

Tinubu did not dump the party to join the party in government or to join another opposition party. Instead, his own faction of AD merged with other politicians from different parties and formed a new party as foundational members as opposed to political prostitutes or ticket hunters looking for ready food in an already established party.

Then after changing name from AC to ACN, that same party went into a bigger alliance to form APC.

We all know the political success achieved by APC and Tinubu in sacking the incumbent PDP government and also producing 2 Presidents from the party, so no need to delve further.

You can choose to continue deceiving yourself that your beloved political prostitutes and ticket hunters who do not have the patience and dedication of Bola Tinibu, can achieve from the scratch the success that Tinubu achieved by building from ground zero and waiting for his turn.

In a bid to return Nigeria on the path to democracy, the Abacha military junta allowed for the formation of 5 political parties in 1996 to replace the previously existing 2 parties (SDP and NRC) that participated in the June 12, 1993 presidential election that was conducted by the Ibrahim Babangida regime, which the Abacha junta had disbanded after taking over power from the interim national government of Ernest Shonekan in 1993.


Those Abacha 5 parties,

1. United Nigeria Congress Party (UNCP)
2. Congress for National Concensus (CNC)
3. Grassroot Democracy Movement (GDM)
4. Democratic Party of Nigeria (DPN)
5. National Center Party of Nigeria (NCPN)

would later adopt Abacha as a consensus candidate in April 1998, with only some of CNC politicians (Alhaji MD Yusuf and Tunji Braithwaite) putting up some resistance and going to court on that matter, but the Appeal court rejected the suit by claiming it lacked jurisdiction over the case.

The aim of the Abacha transition programme was to hand over power to a democratic government on 1st October 1998.

National Assembly elections already held on 25th April 1998, while gubernatorial and presidential elections were scheduled for 1st August 1998.

Abacha died on 8th June 1998.

IfnobeGod20:
Yes, it was. The only political party still in existence till date, spanning over 30 years now.

You are a baby if you do not know that Abacha swept away both SDP and NRC, then started his own 5 parties, who were all planning to endorse him before his death.

Those Abacha 5 parties,

1. United Nigeria Congress Party (UNCP)
2. Congress for National Concensus (CNC)
3. Grassroot Democracy Movement (GDM)
4. Democratic Party of Nigeria (DPN)
5. National Center Party of Nigeria (NCPN)

Did not include any SDP or NRC.

Nor was there any SDP or NRC when during the Abdulsalami Abubakar regime, we had PDP, APP and AD.

The current SDP only came about some few years ago, just as NRC can be recreated anytime if any group of politicians feel so inclined, but that will not mean it has been existing all this while.

Or you mean if AG or NCNC is created again, it would mean the newly formed party have been existing since before independence?

So those of us who are not ignorant, are right to say Tinubu did not dump any party, but has entered into alliances with his faction of AD to have the current APC. All the time being a foundational member and not a ticket hunter member looking for where food is ready.

MrBrownJay1:
way too late to have a valid replacement...

Still enough time to campaign before elections in November and nominations have not been ratified yet until the Democratic convention is held.

Eriokanmi:
Not even only that. I don't have the time of all the nairaland's Trump's almanjiris who aren't even eligible to travel to America talkless of voting their hero. Whites really misbehaved during Trump's era. We could also see how the white police acted on blacks .

Not only that, there was a white boy who shot a black buy at a rally and claimed he acted on self defence, despite the fact that the guy didn't even near him, talkless of attacking, with the cctv footage evidence and the court acquitted him. What of the young EMS black girl who was shot severally by white police in the abdomen, without committing any offence?

If trump should come back, more of such rascalities are inevitable . Trump is a racist and he's not even hiding it.

Trump has never pretended not to be a racist to secure the support of his hillbilly MAGA lunatics.

What I am trying to say is that Trump has had to pretend to be a racist to keep the bandwagon he has supporting him.

And that need to continue to project his racist act, is what led to the escalation of the Black Lives Matter protests that eventually galvanized the Democrats to defeat him.

I believe that he wonders at times, how lucky he is to have such a large crowd of "deplorables" who need somebody to lead them, and he appeared on the scene at the right time.

Trump took the US to a new low, that even we in Nigeria can draw references from his era in power to defend our own very low democracy.

Imagine the Capitol Hill insurrection.

China and Russia would just be laughing at the so-called leader of the democratic free world.

I have seen recent videos of President Biden and coupled with the information released today (Wednesday 17th July), that he has contacted COVID-19 again, I would wager that he will quit the presidential race before the end of this month, if not by end of this week.

Most top Democrats both in the Senate and House of Representatives, are now piling more pressure on Biden to drop out and take care of his health.

Kobojunkie:
I am sorry, what? Treason to want to bring to an end the current administration? Are you OK at all? Where in the Supreme Law of the land is this stated?

Just note that if one particular government can be brought to an end outside of the constitutional methods, then all governments can be likewise brought to an end in whatever way any interested group see fit.

We can all exhibit madness at our respective appointed times.

I watched him on CNN some hours ago, but still did not get the details of what interaction between him and the flight attendant resulted to him deserving handcuffs.

Flight attendants think themselves to be God because they fly in the air.

Airline staff, even the ones on the ground, need a new orientation on how they engage their patrons.

Sheuns:
They’ve so long sold the lies that Tinubu has remained in a party all his political life. That’s not true. Like someone above rightly said he crossed from SDP to AD, formed AC which was renamed to ACN and later merged with other parties to form APC. So that’s SDP - AD - AC - ACN - APC

Can Tinubu remain in SDP if the party did not exist as, at 1998 when new parties were created to begin the return to democracy?

So from AD that was later factionlized with multiple Party Chairman claims, his faction of AD formed the AC with other party politicians which changed name to ACN, just like APP changed name to ANPP, then same ACN went into a merger with ANPP, CPC, and a faction of APGA.

The recurring decimal is that Tinubu moved with his party all the time and was a foundational member of those party transitions.

He was not a ticket hunter or political prostitute moving up and down to existing parties.

AcuraZDX:
Wrong how?

Was Tinubu in SDP.

I just need Yes or No answer.

Did SDP exist when Nigeria was to return to democracy with the death of Gen Sani Abacha?

Congratulations to her.

nedu666:
Say no to protest in the east. So that in future no body from the south west will try the nonsense they did in ojota under jona. Secondly, no protest will lay to rest any Yoruba man critiquing any govt in future when they have failed.

The Ojota protest you continue to reference is the reason why Yorubas realised that they should stop protesting when their own brother or political ally is in power.

For the first time since democratic Nigeria, the igbos then and till now made the 2012 anti-subsidy protest a Yoruba and North protest, despite that all of Nigeria enjoyed the reprieve that came from that protest.

We will always remember your treachery and unlike the protests during the Obasanjo and Yar'Adua regimes, we will not lead any protest against our own political benefits like SouthEast and SouthSouth proved to us in 2012.

Thanks for reminding us all the origin of the ethnic classification of a national protest. Till today, you refer to the Ojota protest of 2012 as a tribal nonsense, so every other protest must remain a tribal nonsense.

And that is how and why protests have been hard under the Buhari and Tinubu regimes, because it is all nonsense as defined by the SouthEast and SouthSouth.

DMerciful:
Tinubu will not do 8yrs.

Pls stop discouraging people. If you don't wanna protest, keep it in your mind.

How can you tell people to be happy in servitude and you're even telling them to accept it for 16yrs. What kind of hopelessness is this?

Dem dey try to rehabilitate you from your delusion, but you insist that you must bear agony for 16years.

Na you wan remove Tinubu?

To put who?

mrvitalis:
Please don't involve South in your troubles

Yoruba president is giving it to North

Let's maintain the energy please

Is Akpabio from SouthWest?

Or is the Senate President not from the SouthSouth?

So if both Tinubu and Akpabio are jointly referred to a Southern politicians, is that an error?

Kukutenla:
So I have given you two situations of impeachment of deputy gov by their Oga.

Why do you now support Wike against Fubara? Ain't that hypocrisy?

Have you given proof of me supporting any impeachment of any Governor or Deputy as an abuse of democratic process?

I support that they keep the harmony however way possible, else Fubara should forget about a 2nd term ticket with a PDP that Wike controls.

The irony is those who considered Fubara an illegitimate Governor, but are now fully praising him to slight Wike who is considered a more dangerous political enemy.

And we are back to how the legend of wicked Wike was created to slight Amaechi because he was not in the good books of President Jonathan and the First Lady.

Amaechi wanted to be an independent Governor that ran his state without the influence of Abuja, but Patience Jonathan and husband would not have that, and junior minister Wike kept using federal resources to embarrass and harass a duly elected Governor who was ultimately forced out of the then ruling party (PDP).

Who were those urging Wike on then and celebrating every abuse of federal power?

You and I know they are the same people who have now become tired of the wiked Wike they created.

Brendaniel:
And why didn't you allow the southern president complete his 8 years like you guys did for Buhari?

You mean you also do not know that Jonathan was advised not to regard the SouthWest?

That with the SouthSouth, SouthEast, and MiddleBelt in his side, the Muslim North and SoutWest will not taste power again.

So it is no surprise that he failed woefully in the same SouthWest who led his campaign to be recognised as Acting President, and who supported him in his first president election.

The real surprise is that even the MiddleBelt got tired of his cluelessness, and supported Buhari and APC in 2015.

helinues:
2011 election have been erased in some of you guys calendar

For some of them, Nigeria began in 2015.

Kukutenla:
What about that of Bauchi deputy gov that the state High court overturned?

Lucky him.

What should be the norm has become aberration, so I say lucky him.
