Nigeria is has a long way to go.
These persons will collect #5,000 to vote against their wishes.
The Government has waponized poverty.

LordBiden:
The problem of Nigeria is not something any of the incoming candidates can solve infact not even peter obi.
The structure of the country itself won't even allow it to progress.

Current presidential system we practicing is too expensive.

What do we even need a bicameral legislature for?
Legislators should be working part time.

We should go back to parliamentary system of government.

We should a create a new constitution with stiffer penalties for corruption.

You are not being truthful.
Someone mentioned that #20trn was missing. Na bicameral legislation Miss am?
APC is selling presidential nomination and expression of interest forms for #100m while Governorship is #50m while other political parties followed similar suit. How many is the salary of a president and Governor in Nigeria?
The looting and corruptions are Nigeria problems.

Incognito403:
This one is not different from Obi.
Calm face but wicked character.

Ibadan people should do well to wipe him off and oust all the puppet kings he installed while in office.

What is Obi doing here?

AguluLiar:
Sen Abaribe is from your region, he has contributed nothing to your region since he joined politics but your brothers keep voting him every 4 years

One senator from far Borno is sharing money in his constituency and you're spitting saliva over nothing.

Jump into the Lagoon if you're not happy with the Borno Senator

Una dey enjoy this country oooo.
Senator sharing #136m for his party men, nothing wrong. What is the salary of a senator?

Yakhi84:
Sharing allocation money meant for the whole constituency to your party faithfuls publicly for a religious celebration.

Politicians are cashing out.

This Atiku needs serious checks. It's political ambition is making him say rubbish. Why is he referencing 4th Republic?
He should reference the first, second and third Republic? He should also mentioned the military head of state. Buhari, IBB, Abacha Abdusalami Abubakar were also military head of state from Northern extraction. I didn't mention Tafewa Balewa: Primer Minister, Yakubu Gowon, Shagari etc.
If any southern vote for Atiku, they don't know what they are doing. Individual with religious bias. Deborah was killed by Muslim lunatics, he condemned it. He quickly denied it because he wants to pleases his people. Till now, her killers are still walking freely.

Avedonn:
Peter Obi does not fully understand the political dynamics in the North. The core northern states will not vote for a joint ticket with Kwankwaso, as they view Kwankwaso as a spoiler. Just observe carefully, how many states does Kwankwaso actually command followers in, aside from Kano and parts of Jigawa? How many politicians have defected from other parties to the NDC from the North since he left the ADC? The NDC has no grassroots presence in the North.

Atiku will also face challenges, as he may not achieve the required spread in the South. So, in my opinion, the odds favor Tinubu. Although he is not widely popular, his party has the necessary geographical spread.

Una political calculations dey bend oooo. What was Atiku votes from the North?
Na people like you dey give this Northerners ego.

You can see the people Tinubu surrunder himself with?
These are the people that feed him with lies.
#2,000 won't be enough for transportation fares to buy foodstuffs.

Guestmale:
You're wrong ,the supreme court didn't just dash Hope Uzodima the governor seat,he earned it.How? Wrongful Exclusion of Votes: The seven-man panel, led by the then Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, unanimously held that votes from 388 polling units were unlawfully excluded during the collation of the final election results.

Result Computation: The court accepted the results presented by Hope Uzodinma from the 388 polling units. When these votes (213,695 for APC and 1,903 for PDP) were added to the results initially declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), it was determined that Uzodinma secured the majority of lawful votes.

Removal and Installation: The court declared Ihedioha’s election null and void, ordered the withdrawal of his Certificate of Return, and directed that a new certificate be issued to Hope Uzodinma, who was sworn in immediately.

The Governor you can say he was dashed the governorship seat is Governor Diri of Bayelsa state supreme court removed the real winner of the election and put Diri who came second because of discrepancies in the names of the real winner's deputy.

This happened a day to inauguration. The winner was already rehearsing when the judgement came.
APC messed up for not doing their screening properly.

You think APC will just give a new entrant such position? There is another front page news saying the report of Hope removal is false.

Tjra:
This is not cool bro. The fact that the SE have bad Politicians like Obi, ikpeazu, Obiano, etc does not mean you should exclude them.

Who are the good politicians in Nigeria?

femi4:
He no fit submit form again by himself..laziness in the air

Tinubu is outside the country, hence he is being exempted from APC presidential screening. He left when he knew modalities for nomination and primary is going on.
Well, he owns the party. The closest person to submit it for him is the VP. If someone else does, it will raise dust.

These people are really wasting money.
Estimate the money these governors and other bigwigs will use for flights and logistics to just go snap pictures receiving Nomination form.
It's well.

It's clear, Nigeria politicians that have looted will invest in this project.

Thank you our brother dangote

Atiku is coming 😎

Your yeye dey smell. What is the North contributing to Nigeria economy?

Cum4me:
This our politicians are evildoers. Tinubu has the capacity to give Nigerians steady electricity. But they keep looting the nation with silly excuses. Dangote please try your best we need steady electricity

Can you afford it if he provides the electricity?
Is fuel and diesel affordable today?
You are happy you are going into full monopoly economy.

Very soon, Dangote will be the controller of Nigeria economy.
You have refinery, you have cement, sugar, fertilizer, food, and now power. What else is remaining?

franchasng:
Atiku is not strategic, he was just fortunate to be picked as a running mate to Obasanjo which made him started seeing himself as a political juggernaut when the truth is, he is not politically strategic to know when to retreat and when to strike.


Atiku would have become President since 2019 if he was strategic and patient enough to support Goodluck Jonathan to finish his single tenure and return the ticket to North, of which Atiku was the most prominent Northern politician from the North as at that time but instead he mumuishly led a Northern political revolt against Goodluck Jonathan to join forces with Buhari and Tinubu to crown them Presidents. How Atiku felt he was more popular and preferred than Buhari to fly APC ticket in 2015 is the same mistake he is making today by seeing himself as more preferable and popular than Peter Obi to fly the coalition ticket even when all voices of reason keep saying let the Presidency stay in South till 2031?



Atiku, it seems Dele Momodu and Dino Melaye are your worst enemies always advising you wrongly for their own personal political ambition to become kitchen cabinet of the next President.



Atiku keep miscalculating and misfiring and shooting himself on the leg, maybe it's his destiny, just maybe and I used to like him a lot but if you sit down and analyze his political miscalculations, it's annoying.



Same way Wike and other PDP Governors kept telling you, allow then PDP Chairman Ayu who happens to be a Northerner like you the Presidential candidate go you said no, and everyone thought you and Buhari must have reached an inhouse agreement for him to rig you into power, at the end, it was just your usual pride and ego misleading you like always and you missed that opportunity again.



Atiku continue, I wish you well Turakin, but you no de try at all, Southeast have been your strongest support base, have sacrificed a lot for you but you refused to see reasons to sacrifice for them once and to pave way for your own Presidential ambition to come to reality, no wahala, well done Sir

The question is: where is Atiku getting money to prosecute presidential election? This should be his 4-5times now. If this man wins, will he not recoup all the money he has spent thus far? His greed for presidential power should call for concern. We are still suffering from the privatizations he didn't years ago. He is one of the reasons Nigerian is not having power today.

They are just using this moribund refineries to cash out. I still remember the billions of US dollars Buhari approved for this project, they went to load the tank of the refineries and said they are refining crude oil. They deceived NIGERIANS that the refineries are working.
How Nigerians forget all this is mystery to me.

The routine is very clear.
Send their children abroad to get the best education while their poor supporters and hallelujah boys are trapped on numerous strikes and poor educational facilities.
Their children will campaign with their parents loot and take over.
In Edo State, Igbinedion family are spread in politics. Lucky Igbinedion was a local Government chairman and Governor for 8years. His brother was a local Government chairman. His younger sister is contesting for HORs to be a 3 times member. The niece is also Edo State House of Assembly member.
Keep on supporting them while they positioned themselves and family members.

[quote author=Kdon2 post=139296967]Kwakwanso dragged NDC party registration card from obi.

In an interesting development, barely hours into the defection of the duo of aliyu kwakwanso and Peter obi to NDC video footage of the official registration with NDC has shown kwakwanso already dragging the NDC party registration card from Peter obi at the declaration point. The incident occured as the NDC party chairman and the delta state senator seriake Dickson were about to present the party card to Peter obi which was swiftly intercepted and snatched by kwakwanso while Peter obi looked on sheepishly.
The development showed kwakwanso has positioned himself first before Peter obi. With this it appears kwakwanso is not keen on occupying the vice presidential slot. That kwakwanso pushed himself forward first before obi is a move observers described as indication that kwakwanso might contest the NDC presidential ticket against obi in NDC.

The question now is; should obi lose the ticket to kwakwanso, what next? Will obi support kwakwanso for the presidency or will he port to another party once again? Is kwakwanso indirectly saying he should have the first shot at the presidency instead of obi? Whatever the answer is, time will tell.

Analysts say the situation is fluid for now indicating that Peter obi's problems might not be over because his presidential ambition through NDC ticket might yet again be under threat.

Nigeria politicians and their greed for power. The painful part is, they will still have people supporting and singing their praises. You have been to the Senate and you have done 8years as a Governor, what are you still looking for? Was these years not enough to execute your plans for the state? I don't blame this politicians, I blame Nigerians who will receive peanuts from them and start praising and supporting them. Just look at how he was using State money to fund APC because of his personal interest. The money he would have used to do something tangible for the state. All these unnecessary benevolent to the political party and others, hence they don't have enough money to work for the state. Many will still loot too.
He wants to return back to the Senate, are you the only person qualified in that senatorial district?

This is what they have turned politics to. Instead of you to highlight what your principal have done for the 3 years in power and what he intend to do if reelected, you are busy with someone's defection. It's very terrible and this is what you are being paid to do for the government?

osazsky:
obi go begin carry court case go ndc.... that guy get problem

Are you sure you are not the one suffering from the problems caused by this APC government?
You think Obi can still suffer in this life?
You bought expensive fuel to power your generator to charge your phone and you are using same phone to praise those that caused you suffering. Even if you are one of their data boys, the stipend they give to you is enough to take care of you and family? Is it enough to provide security for yourself?

After 2027, Mr Peter Obi will move his luggages to camp APC....

Movingname1:
It is now anyone’s election.
Atiku will sweep majority of the core North with Tinubu coming second and Obi winning Kano.
The middle belt will learn heavily towards Obi but divided by Atiku and Tinubu .
South West outside of Lagos will go to Tinubu but Atiku will do well in Ondo and Oyo.
South East will go to Obi
South South is uncertain .Tinubu/Obi to share .
No one can predict who will win .

South South is uncertain?
You Sabi election permutations wella.
