Even with pidgin, you still can't express yourself in the way others can understand without struggling to read your bunkum.

You can't win election by turning everyone to your enemy. Election is not a bull contest

Although not many people take him serious but United States-based Nigerian professor, Farouk Kperogi has earned for himself a reputation of one with undisguised bile, not just for anything Buhari but also the nation, and he has added a few more enemies to his long list.
Recently, Kperogi has become a self-appointed enemy of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and he's relishing the appetite of his equally undiscerning and mischievous readers with fabricated falsehood.
Against all intents and logics, even when it has been disputed by people who should know, Kperogi kept alleging that Osinbajo, should he be trusted with power and Nigeria's president, will Christianize Nigeria.
Laughable as this sounds, it beats imagination that anyone would get drowned in Kperogi's narrative, with his unscholarly eavesdropping and beer parlour gists, and when he did at all, clinging only to hearsays.
However, against all his pretences and disguise, the hatchet writer has been unveiled to be doing the bidding of the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
Amaechi, who eyes the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, this newspaper can reliably gathered, is bankrolling Kperogi to advance vicious and damaging propaganda to tarnish the reputation of the Vice President with the intent to sow hatred against him from among the Northern population.
The plot, this newspaper learnt, was to twist the  faith of Osinbajo, who is a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, and recent creation of the political directorate by the Church, to blackmail the Vice President.
Kperogi's paymaster, has for some time detailed a team to search out Prof Osinbajo to see the possibility of nailing him on corruption allegations, but having failed to lay hand on any of such, resolved that turning the Northern population against him would be fait accompli to make him unattractive to the Muslim voters.
Although he has not yet declare interest to run for the 2023 presidential election, notwithstanding, the Vice President has become a subject of bitter attack from contenders within the ruling party and beyond, especially from those that believe that his interest would pose a major threat to their chances should he throw in the hat to contest. And Kperogi has become a willing tool.
Political observers believe that the Osinbajo campaign team has to brace up for more attacks from the likes of Kperogi.
This, they opined will get messier and fierce as the chances of Osinbajo become brighter, so also will the desperation to rein him in and jerk him to surrender, regardless of how unfounded the allegations might be.
The Minister's handlers had narrowed down on  Kperogi's choice for the hatchet job sensing that he would not be easily suspected, in view of his past attacks on President Muhammadu Buhari with whom he was similarly fixated in the past.

That's another weak one to distabilise APC, Why are PDP strategist so weak and predictable like this?

Osinbajo is the right choice

I am not going to waste my time responding to you any further. It is clear you are not thinking clearly and an objective debate is therefore not possible. You comment about Osinbajo and restructuring suggests i am either engaging someone with a low IQ or someone so far gone in sycophancy the brain is no longer functioning. Restructuring is about votes, in this case Northern votes, votes are about politics and political weight. A man who cannot even gather votes from his own base to contest to the point where he is afraid to declare and hoping to be anointed by Buhari as the consensus candidate (I know this for a fact BTW) is clearly a political lightweight and not the kind of person that can drive a restructuring agenda in parliarment if at all any of the others can, Osinbajo 100% cant!!!

Read up what you wrote whether it makes meaning to you. I have tried enough to be civil with you but you simply lack what it takes to debate intelligently.
"Again, restructuring can no longer be achieved by fiat but through legal means working within the existing constitution. This is where Osinbajo would be needed because he was the one called upon by Tinubu to fight that case as commissioner for Justice in Lagos state."

That was my quote on restructuring
and restructuring can take different form not necessarily only through constitutional amendment as your point suggested.

Am sure you didn't know that Osinbajo was once invited to draft constitution of a whole country.

I have given my preferred candidates stating their strength and weakness but you have nothing to say than to engage in iq contest whereas your points shows zero understanding and you lack capacity to project your view clearly maybe that's why you are so irritating.

Readers here can judge who is daft, who is incoherent and incapable of presenting his views.

Run along boy, this terrain is not a place where a nonentity should claim authority because this topic is simply beyond your scope and you should be left to wallow in your ignorance

perambulator:
Again i really do not care who wins the election, It will not change my life. the only thing that will change the trajectory of this country is true federalism and the truth is no Southerner can bring about that. Again your focus is party, you claim to be bright....did you not read where I said I AM NOT AN APC SUPPORTER!!!! If they lose that is their business not mine!!! I am unlike you not going to kill my self or dumb down over 2 sets of incompetent parties to the point where I can no longer speak the truth because I prefer one over another. Let me make this clear... none of them be it APC or PDP, be it Amaechi, Tinubu, Atiku or Osinbajo have any plan to take us to the promised land!!!! We will still be talking about bad roads and NEPA in 20 years time whoever becomes president because neither of them have what it takes and Nigerians themselves are not ready for what it takes to move this country forward!!!

BTW I dont care to respond to you, You are the one who quoted me. I would rather not engage people whose IQ has been damaged by ethnic,religious or tribal dogma!

You can't be apolitical yet claim to know the real politics that is on ground.

The best candidates so far in APC are Osinbajo, Amaechi and Tinubu. They may not be what we are looking for but they are the best available options we can pick from.

Looking the way of PDP is not an option for obvious reason I don't want to dabble to here.

Osinbajo has no baggage and would have little political liabilities that could hinders him from performing. The little time he presided in acting capacity shows his leadership and ability to solve problem with his precise intervention in ND crises that almost crippled Nigeria economy.

Tinubu has the experience and charisma and internationally savvy and stubborn to undertake such reforms such as restructuring just like his policies while he was Lagos governor where he created additional local government.
But there lies his weakness because he would have to trade these having exposed it to power brokers in Nigeria. He would be asked let go his restructuring stands if he needs their support.

Again, restructuring can no longer be achieve by fiat but through legal means working with existing constitution. This is where Osinbajo would be needed because he was the one called upon by Tinubu to fight that case as commissioner for Justice in Lagos state.

Ameachi has been consistent and has fair knowledge of working of every department of government, he is young and equally has young chaps whom he grew up together with.
But he is hot tempered and could take irrational decision during his lowest periods. Apart from his present political control status in his state, he would find it difficult to defeat PDP candidate because he would be faced with stiff opposition in the person of Wike.

We can't continue to be indifferent because the present crops of politicians have performed below expectations. If you want a true federalism, we need to keep trying until we get some sets that would effect the change we so desire.

You may wish to explain why you think a Southerner cannot restructure the country

I don't blame you if you sound pessimist nonetheless you are on the platform discussion who would be the president in 2023. Because you are not active in politics doesn't mean those active are fools, some are driven by patriotism and quest for better Nigeria, so throwing tantrum or getting unnecessary agitated won't help you neither will it help the country, while what needed to be changed would remain stagnant

perambulator:
You are coming across as not very bright. It always happens to people who think in terms of religion tribe, party etc. they can no longer function as objective critical thinkers.

The fact That I support Amaechi does not mean I am an APC supporter, Amaechi is a performer full stop, he is not a tribal or religious candidate same with Tinubu. I am not as excited with Tinubu but I beleive 1) he has worked for it and 2 he is the 2nd best of the lot and he is a good leader. the presidency is about performance and leadership...osinbajo has no track record of either!!! I would easily have voted for Atiku if he wasnt in PDP in fact the reason i didnt vote in 2015 is because Buhari got the ticket not Atiku. I can only vote for who the parties present or comment on likely contenders. Atiku is a better choice than Osinbajo, I didnt vote for Buhari in 2015 or 2019 and I didnt vote for GEJ or Atiku either.

I Cannot stand PDP because there are very few credible people left there but please get it out of your head, I am not an APC supporter either. that I am likely to vote for APC (only If tinubu or Amaechi or Elrufai emerge) is not because I am an APC supporter but because they are likely to present better candidates. I have no loyalty to APC, if you are shit I will call you shit!!!


Come hell or high water I will not vote for osinbajo, I will rather stay at home like 2015 and 2019. I do not think he has a track record or deserves it and As I have said many times I do not believe in treachery or religious bigots even though I am a christian myself!!!

You like talking too much.

A bright person don't throw jabs like you do. It shows you are uncomfortable when you are busted.

You threw up religious punches and exemplified APC weaknesses in an attempt to rubbish Osinbajo but the damage was to the party where your preferred candidate would contest.

Who is religious bias between me and you with your assumption that Christians and RCCG members are the one pushing Osinbajo narratives? You even ended by saying you are not a politician yet you are dabbling into issue beyond your capacity.

If you want a response from me, do it without throwing banters, because I don't like engaging people who are not civil while discussing civil matters

Fortune109:
This is the bullshit we do experience in Lagos everytime...one reason why most Lagos indigenes are in Lagos PDP...

Seems there is a deliberate policy by Asiwaju to not empower Lagos indigenes...

He doesn't like us we don't like him too...I used to like him but later disliked him when I looked into his style...



Usurpers don't end well!

You are right

perambulator:
You have just highlighted my point, many of you are not engaging your brains but support candidates based on ethnic, religious or other primordial sentiments, not as a result of any critical evaluation of the records of the candidates and whether they are suitable for the role. I am neither a PDP supporter nor an APC supporter so unlike you I can be objective.

Your previous posts show you prefer Ameachi from APC and I put it forward to you why must you pull down the party's platform where Amaechi would contest simply because you want to get at Osinbajo?. That doesn't sound intelligent to me but I will overlook it since you claim not to be an active politician but remove the religion regalia you are adorning Osinbajo

perambulator:
The obsession with osinbajo stems from a number of factors 1) he is a "Prof" like you said 2) he speaks well and has a quiet distinguished intellectual demeanour 3) the Redeemed/religious supporters. But we are not looking for a teacher, a motivational speaker or a religious leader. We are seeking a president that can lead a country and address the important challenges of the country which at the moment are most importantly economy and security. What track record does he bring to these issues? he is part of this government under which security has detiorated like never before and he is in charge of the economy that has been a disaster under his watch including the lowest GDP groth since the return to democracy. Osinbaj's signature economic legacy is tradermoni...think about that for a second tradermoni a scheme of less than 10b deployed to win elections is all osinbajo has to show for heading the economic team of the country and this is the man some want to lead the country because he is a christian professor who speaks well? We are our own problems. the oyinbo that brought this democracy has an electorate that are relatively enlightened, ours are tribal and religious and dont think right. In the land of the oyinbo man that brought this democracy, there is the saying coined by Reagan "it's the economy stupid" which means elections are won based on the economy, you cannot be part of a government under a poorly performing economy or be the architect of a poorly performing economy and expect to be reelected!

This is our problem, we elect leaders based on the wrong criteria and wonder why we are going backwards not forwards!!!

I didn't bother to read your emotional epistle to the end, as you are making it a contest between two opponent.

Again I hate the religious string you are trying to pull claiming people want to vote him because he is oratory. Was that the reason why Buhari too was voted in.

Drop that your sentiment and save it for your opponent in PDP. It is simply foolish and political suicide to disparage your party and region candidate in such manner

The highlights are points an opponent would use to nail APC and not necessarily for Osinbajo, so, why destroying your party because you want to promote Tinubu?

Onyeziokwu:
I like your write-up mate but about VP's intention to run for the No1 seat, he won't make a good President. Nigerians are just obsessed with the title"Prof" period! He won't do better than the boss, as President tbh

What makes you say so. I have worked with many bosses am better of. When they take my advice they succeed but when they do it their own way they fail.

Some people are naturally endowed with supernatural power of leadership, the interface Osinbajo had with Niger Delta put a stop to those crazy vandalisation. Besides he's underdog, even an enemy would be lenient with such person.

His Herculean task is winning primary, once that is done, the coast will be clear.

Amerengues2:
To start with, I am wondering why politicians deploy the tactics of a coach sometimes where you will wait on the opponent's coach to make a substitution before making yours just to know what next to do.

However, I am hopeful that Osinbajo is taking his time to make the correct decision. It appears he doesn't want to be left in the mix.

Perhaps, the rumour between Osinbajo and Amaechi might be real- finding each other a threatening opponents considering they are both close to Buhari.

Also, in saner climes, if you have spent 7 years as a VP in a failed administration, you might just be booed of you want to contest as the president. However, it's different here!

It appears Osinbajo' fan base keeps increasing and this might lend credence to the fact that he is indeed a good and perspicacious leader we need.

Then I ask the question, which is the problem of this country, the POSITION or INDIVIDUAL?

Very objective analysis. Are you new here? You are entirely different from all these bigots spamming the platform day in day out

Wait o, Tinubu has started acting like president already, no need for indoctrination when he sworn in. Some people would not like this anyway, you see them start spitting venom up and down

EmekaMD:
Let the best of both sides collide.
It seems the handwriting on the wall is getting clearer and clearer. Amechi may be the one Buhari talked about that he didn't wanna mention for the fear of being pulled a "Funso Williams" on. We all know that wouldn't have been Tinubu.

Now let the game begin

Let APC give its Presidential ticket to Chibiuke Rotimi Amechi and let PDP do the needful: give the ticket to Peter Obi. These two are obviously the best or both political parties.

At the end this would be a win-win for all Nigerians.

"Let" and "let" and "let" don't work in politics, you don't build political success on wishes, you work for it.

Who is going to "let" is it Ohamadike or Amadioha that would let the "let'?

Boy, wake up and start working toward your political success. No one would gift presidency, if possible Buhari won't be crying for 12years he was losing even with his 10m guarantee vote.

tesppidd:
But am watching live. Am yet to see him declare.

You dey mind the liars

The party is big enough to accommodate all

I know the OP is a chronic lair who lift pics from today's APC thanksgiving in Rivers state

Ohaneze are the member of the NWC that reached these decisions. Suddenly Ohanese the have become ubiquitous, anywhere belle face, no plan, no strategy, no means of getting any of the popular party's ticket but rely on same failed propaganda, intimidation, hate and issuing ultimatum.

They even pull the international string that they are in support of SE when in actual fact diplomats have been visiting SW Lagos to meet with Tinubu.

This news emanates from Upper Iweka media house, take it as a trash that deserves no place other than dustbin

Truthisunique2:
we don't fast and pray

We are certain people

Buhari would choose his successor like tilumbu chooses his own in Lagos

If you are not satisfied leave the party

You are political toddler to think consensus will determine Presidential candidate in APC.

Truthisunique2:
buhari speaks for apc not you

There is not going to be avenue to share money to delegates in disguise of primaries

Buhari made this know in the last convention

And you are Buhari spokesman?

If you wish your candidate to emerge through consensus because he has no popularity to emerge through primary, the best thing is to start praying and fasting and not come online to flaunt abnormality.

What is your stake in Nigeria and and democracy? Why do you want things to be done the wrong way because it would favour you?

How will democracy grow if we kill it by imposition?

Where sane people are clamouring for abolishment of indirect primary you are here taunting everyone with consensus candidates.

I'm not surprise that you are pushing for consensus because that is what your life represents, cheat and fraud, all this products of miracle centres no get shame at all

Truthisunique2:
you are saying the same thing, president and vp are position zoned and shared in party too which affect who gets party position

Consensus wise buhari can also nominate his candidate for president while tilumbu bring northern vp

Highest na so e go reach, tinubu used consesus to bring sanwoolu

Stop making silly comment this early morning. When did you become spokesman of APC? There's going to be primary in APC, APGA or PDP can choose through consensus but in APC where we have huge stake, there will be primary, if you are not satisfy that's your cup of tea

Mazi Chibozor Tinubu Okonkwo, ijaya omo Igbo, nothing do you

WATCHOVER:
I don't think Peter Obi has the political war chest, considering how the zone he comes from have been politically, and considering Nigeria political airspace how emotions and good public speaking don't win elections. For me if only he was in the ruling party his chances would be clear but this is Nigeria, were leaders rise through hard fought battles.
The unity of the East is still scary, they have less states, their voter turnout has been relatively low except they bank on votes from. DELTA AND RIVERS Humm... it will be difficult for Obi to win, kiss the fact

The greatest hindrance to Igbo presidency is their hate towards SW and SS people

My problem with Obi Pandora is that he lies too much

GreatAustin:
2023 Presidency: Look At People That Are Contesting, Look At Me. You Will See I’m The Most Qualified— Peter Obi

Former Anambra state governor, Mr. Peter Obi, has asked Nigerian to check the background of those contesting and his and see that he is the most qualified. He also made it clear that he is not desperate to be President of Nigeria, but that the country needs wealth creators and not sharers.

Obi made this known to newsmen in Abuja shortly after officially meeting with the People Democratic Party, PDP’s National Working Committee, NWC, and making his intention of vying for the Office of the President in the 2023 election officially known to them.

https://newsvilleng.com/2023-presidency-look-at-people-that-are-contesting-look-at-me-you-will-see-im-the-most-qualified-peter-obi/

I pray PDP will give Obi Pandora their ticket so he can test his popularity among Nigerians

Haters are already here ventilating their anger as usual

Let's compare Obi with any Council Chairman I'm Lagos it is an insult to mention Obi when discussing state development

Peter Obi is a mediocre claiming to be brilliant

DrGoodman:
Tinubu has a lot of achievements, peeing and pooing on his hosts on a lot of ceremonies is not easy. He's the real pee poos man.

The blood of Awkuzu youth massacre is on Obi Pandora, a chronic lair who claimed to have one wristwatch. Money launderer caught with 250m raw cash in the street of Lagos.

Obi Pandora is a mediocre

logicalman:
Asari laughed his interviewers to a scorn when asked to explain why he said that Peter Obi drilled only boreholes during his tenure as the governor of Anambra State . He then ask them whether they know in football what is called indirect free-kick. Asari revealed that he has succeeded making Nigerians see the uncommon achievements of Peter Obi

The man that left 75billions behind ,built roads that made Anambra to have the best road network then, built factories ,built in every community infrastructural project worth over 100million,not owing a dime to civil servants ,pensioners or contractors.A man Efc said that he is a good example of prudent economic manager.

Asari concluded that he has scored with his indirect free-kick.
PETER OBI THE MAN WITH GREAT BURDEN AND PASSION FOR NIGERIANS ESPECIALLY THE FUTURE GENERATIONS.

No be only free kick, na corner kick, mumu people that were shouting SS/SE are disappointed that their infatuated romance with SS has been rebuffed

Obi Pandora is an underachiever with no legacy project and no outstanding infrastructure you can point to.

When you asked them to state his achievement, they refer you to Goggle, even a toddler would point to Tinubu achievement as Lagos governor. Peter Obi can't deceive us with his China economic theory. A mediocre that would be struggling to win Council Chairman post in SW.
