There's obviously a disconnect between Peter Obi's brain and tongue.

Hahaha 🤣😂 hahaha 🤣😂

Dshocker:
I would listen to the traditional man, most men of God don't know what they are doing, particularly the ones in Nigeria.

Christianity as a religion is a multi billion dollar industry here in Nigeria, fake pastors cashing out on gullible Nigerians.

Weldone.....babalawo in Nigeria don't make money. No fakes among them. Some people behave as if their problem is Christianity. Congratulations

Kingpele:
Executive legislative and judiciary are united in destroying democracy as it should be not a single judge

Ask ADC to quote section 225(a) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. They are just trying to be clever. They wrote all above without quoting the law under which a party can be deregistered. Atiku went shopping for party without conducting proper due diligence. ADC has a lot of baggage. Nigerians can see how empty the opposition is. You have a lot of money and you want to buy a party and you can't hire consultants to run all checks for you before you make your decision. Now these issues are coming out one by one rather than blame yourself you decided to raise public sentiments just to paint PBAT black. Na like this you go give us new Nigeria?

runningriot:
This brutal judicial court verdict and meddling in political activities of the country is an opaque to the democracy tenets of this nation. The judiciary is being allowed as a tool and weapon against opposition parties and that is not only alarming but a threat to a healthy democratical alliance and competition. What could be the paradigm and nexus of the court and party affairs... of this magnitude!

Read section 225(a) of the constitution of the federal Republic of Nigeria. When Atiku was shopping for a party to buy he didn't do due diligence. ADC had a lot of baggage but Atiku blindly bought it. The only fault that I can find with INEC is that they would have deregistered the parties long time ago because this is the law. INEC need not have waited till some people took this matter to court.

If INEC carry out the court order now people will read meaning into the action and accuse Tinubu and APC. If INEC disobeys the court order it will amount to INEC acting against the constitution. Some years back so many parties including Gani Fawehimi's were deregistered based section 225(a).

Faults:
Atiku - wrong decision when shopping for party to buy.

INEC - why wait until the courts remind you of what the constitution demands of you to do.

Ttipsy:
Igbo votes are for intelligent candidates who they feel will deliver and not for jokers that I have noticed

Intelligent people like Obi that had third class that took him six years to earn. He doesn't understand the meaning of green energy. He said that he went to Harvard to study Market to Market Management...MMM . He said that if he wins the election he will spend one year to go round the country before he will know Nigerian's problems. I can go on and on.

Goodvibes007:
100,000s of Yorubas in each state if the SW still voted OBJ and Yaradua. They don't block vote like the Igbos, but their votes were still significant. Compare that to how Igbos voted Buhari twice and Tinubu once.

2023 Tinubu's vote:
Enugu 4,772
Ebonyi 42,402
Anambra 5,111
Abia 8,914
Imo 66,171

2019 Buhari's vote:
Enugu 54,423
Ebonyi 90,726
Anambra 33,298

I love this. Replying with facts. Let him counter this

BeardedMeat:
This is another of your gaslighting as you already confessed in another post. You don't love soludo, you don't love Ejimofor. You are a pathological Igbo hater.

Peter Obi was right on Nnamdi Kanu!

Oyo, Ondo and ekiti people will also regret why they didn't believe on Nnamdi Kanu.

When campaign starts there are so many things that will be used to campaign against Obi. All of them came from his mouth.

Nackzy:
Why is Tinubu so scared of all these guys even with all the governors in his pocket

Leave Tinubu. What is at play is the law. We like lawlessness. One thing about law is that it could sleep for too long and offences could be committed against her but one day someone will wake her up and the effects could be devastating.

AMINDA:
While some members of the APC were sincere about changing the status quo and bringing genuine change in 2015, others were jealous of the abuse of power, high-handedness and impunity displayed by Wike under the PDP and immediately co-opted him into their party as soon as they won in 2023. We are only now getting to know who is who.

You may hate Wike and sometimes I get disgusted with how raw he is but you must accept that he played one of the smartest politics in 2023.

He vowed to deny Atiku success and he achieved this.

Two frontliners approached him with their proposals. He evaluated them. He looked at who had the capacity to win and keep his word. Finally he made his choice and his choice didn't fail him. He's as at now the first person to be a "third term" state governor in Nigeria and most likely he might become "fourth term" state governor from 2027.

He even got good deals for his friends in their Ggroup that contributed nothing to his principal. I think Wike likes PBAT's brain, audacity and bridge- building qualities. Few politicians in Nigeria agree to deals and honour them to the satisfaction of the parties.

AMINDA:
The government is not focused on the substance of the case as they have nothing to hold against him. The focus is rather on keeping him away from the 2027 conversation because Tinubu himself knows the capacity of Elrufai to unmake him as president. The ingrates and betrayers will be taught bitter political lessons come 2027.

Who wrote the petition against him? Which house of assembly passed a unanimous motion demanding this? Don't come with is he the only thief. A thief is a thief.

LagosOrigin:
Wike and Amaechi will square it out in Rivers state. .

Tinubu don't stand a chance in river state this time .

Amechi is a paper weight in Rivers politics. Wike is the Lord.

Starz825:
Very needless comparison


Some of those countries are doing better than Nigeria.

How dangote fortune take help me?

What do you mean by doing better than Nigeria with all the economic statistics here. Just say that you didn't understand.

Rocky247:
Trump problem is that he talks too much

Like Peter Obi

Gbadugbakun:
When is he going to carry out a lethal strike on a certain country in West Africa with a very high kidnapping rate

He might carry out the lethal strike and you become a victim. It will be soooo good.

Jamiubond009:
Wetin laptop boys wan do now?

Na living room party be this na. Btw who is the chairman of NDC? We only read and see national leader. NDC na private enterprise.

LagosOrigin:
That's a good president material if you ask me

Going to the people who elected you to know what they really want you to do for them and doing it the right way .


A good leader will be closer to the people

Peter Obi is spot-on on this one.


Tinubu went to Jos and instead of meeting the people, he stopped at Jos airport and ran away like a thief in the night ..

If this is your definition of presidential material then we are in trouble. Every day Obi keeps exposing himself as lacking in leadership. So if I come to his Fidelity Bank and ask to be employed as MD and he asks about the challenges of the bank and what I can do to solve them then I will answer: sir I can't know the problem of the bank until you hire me as MD. He will clap for me and give me the job. Obi should help himself by talking less.

Proverbs 17:28 - Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

fleps:
The real story of this country, we do not know

A lot of people on this forum are babies. That's why it's useless discussing with them.

Pacesetter123:
Obi is an opposition leader.
Even in a developed and advanced democracy,there are oppositions and they are called watchdogs to the ruling party.
So if you expect him to keep quiet and swallow every policies of government, whether good or bad simply because other opposition leaders are doing so,then it means you don't know the role of an opposition party in a democratic setting.

Talking about government failure contributing to the failure of the Super Eagle to qualify for the world cup,so you don't know he is right?
Do you know how hurtful the teaming Nigeria football fans feel for Nigeria to fail to qualify for this year's world cup even when FIFA increases Africa's slot to 10?
For Nigeria government to push away a coach that took us to the Nation cup final, and in the eve of the world cup qualifiers simply bcuz he wasn't yielding to their corrupt demands contributed to our qualifications failure.
For the government to bring in 2 indigenous coaches who couldn't win a single match in the qualifying series bcuz they can control those ones is part of the government failure Obi is talking about.
For the FG to fail to pay match bonuses spanning about 3 years leading to the team's threat to boycott training and actual matches during a critical period like qualifications time is part of the reason we didn't qualify.
So,no matter how you look at it,it boils down to government failure that caused us the qualification.

NFF runs football in Nigeria and not Aso rock. If you touch NFF anyhow they will call it interference and report to FIFA and Nigeria will be banned. Minister for sports dare not touch NFF anyhow. NFF runs their own election. The present board has been in power before PBAT assumed office.

Obi being in opposition is not the issue but constructive criticism is what helps the government. I have never heard Obi appluad any policy. I have never heard him present alternatives.

Sangoamadioha1:
Nonsensical comparison.
You are comparing Buhari's 8 years( 2015-2023)to Tinubu's 2.5 years (May 2023 - Dec. 2025).
Why don't you compare Buhari's first 2.5 years to Tinubu's 2.5 years, then we can talk.

Debt debt and debt. Nobody talks about what it was used for. In the mind of Nigerians:
If I borrow $1million and use for recurrent expenditure and
My friend borrows $20million and use it for capital expenditure.

To ordinary Nigerians I'm a better manager. I don't know where we learned this type of financial management. That's how one man braggs about how he locked up state money in a private bank and left the state with total infrastructure decay and development denial.

helinues:
Passing a bill is one thing, implementation is another thing entirely

With the state policing now, it means states will provide whatever equipments needed for the state police to function. Who will fund it?

States have money and they can generate more. All the security votes of the governors, what have they been using it for? Lazy governors will no longer sit in their states and accuse Abuja when there is security lapse.

Lagos the ever forward looking state is fairly ready. They have state security trust fund where the government and private sector contributes money. This was established during Tinubu's time when robbery was much. It funds the RRS that he established. That's why the federal police in Lagos is the best equipped. Others should learn.

QuinQQ:
Read b4 you comment. We were qualifying b4 Buhari, Tinubu, and APC took over

You must be a kid. Even in our flourishing days we failed to qualify. Everything is not politics. All these years we didn't hear Obi talk about football. As governor of Anambra state did his team do well. We know the football lovers like Orji Uzor Kalu. Mtchee.... everything Obi must use for politics.

Sirjamo:
If Obi had formed his own party, he would have handed which ever ticket his people want to them on a platter. I still don't understand why he didn't form a party. If someone like Dickson without any followers could, why not Obi with his millions of followers?

Party formation that will spread all over the country requires brilliance and money. Obi is not brilliant and he doesn't want to spend his own money. He wants others to spend and he will come and enjoy. Food is ready.

Ofunaofu:
I was listening, expecting to hear the Supreme Leader say, just as the Nairaland headline thread suggested, "I don't know why Peter Obi can't call his supporters to order." Instead, what I heard was, "I don't know why our leaders can't call their supporters to order."

The last time I checked, Peter Obi is not the only leader in the NDC with supporters.

I honestly don't understand this fixation on Peter Obi. The obsession with him is so unusual that one might wonder whether he is the President, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, under whose watch Nigerians are being massacred, while schoolchildren and teachers are kidnapped, beheaded, maimed, and subjected to other horrific conditions

Why is so much attention directed at Peter Obi while those currently entrusted with the responsibility of governance seem to escape the same level of scrutiny?

Obi talks too much and sees everything as weapon of politics. Thorough leaders speak through their actions but weak leaders speak through their mouths hoping that it will cover their weakness. Advise Obi because we know that he's not brilliant.

insidelife22:
Obi lives rent free in Apc and data boys head .
Everyday Obi this Obi that.
Shame on Yekini and his myopic supporters

It's because Obi talks too much and attacks everything. Haven't you read this morning that he's attacking the government because of failure to qualify for the world cup. His supporters are all over social media abusing everyone. Is this not what Dickson is complaining about? You rarely hear other presidential candidates talk anyhow. Advise Obi that too much talk reduces one's value.

iwaeda:
Otitoju was a man that lied about Port Harcourt refinery. A man whose lies on TVC is unprecedented. As for Joe Igbokwe, his noise has paid off. Odumakin husband will be turning in the grave. As for others, Let our conscience judge us.

You don't know Otitoju. Find out were he started when investigative journalism was alive in this country. It was as risky as being in the military. Many paid with their lives. Kids of today will not understand this.

As for refinery he reported that it worked and others confirmed it. The present GMD of NNPC didn't say anything contrary. He only said that the operation wasn't profitable and shut them down.

RISQUE:
When will he extend same to Late Engr. Funsho Williams, Odumakin (Husband of Dr. Joe Odumakin) and George Mbah?

Others can do. There will always be presidents?

Bobloco:
Tinubu has reduced the President's Democracy Day speech to an uninspiring and empty ritual.

In the past, Nigerians looked forward to hearing the President's address on Democracy Day. Today, under Tinubu, the opposite is the case. Many Nigerians are not even aware that he delivered a Democracy Day speech today.

That reflects the level of public disinterest in the Tinubu administration and the growing desire among many Nigerians to see it come to an end in May 2027.

Which past? Did OBJ recognize democracy day? Amongst the past presidents which of them is more qualified to talk about June 12 than Tinubu.

Aren't you sensitive to the list of heroes of June 12 which those of us that witnessed it as adults know that it's correct? It shows that some sections were not part of it at the heat of the challenge.

Racoon:
Useless bunch of gabbagge from a failed failure.

You might not like him because you don't know history and you were not part of the struggle. The heroes list is informative. Few people fought but all want to enjoy.

Reloadedisraelp:
I understand ur statement but as an Obidient p.o enter that party in an emergency situation, meaning people are there b4 his arrival unlike in labour party when everything was calculate done by both party loyalist and newcomers..... Whatever Dickson like should do cos it will be a disgrace in his face seeing Obidient occupying different political positions why his loyalist got nothing...all this gbese will take turn if obi eventually win it...for now Dickson can do whatever he likes....also he should remember what his doing can turn against him in future.

You believe that Obi and a party in this messed up situation can win a presidential election. You don't know how huge a presidential election is in Nigeria.

Cmeo:
If this is true, then Peter Obi has been conveniently used again.

Obi is not intelligent. Forget his noise up and down. He's just fortunate in life but empty. That's why he projects piousness over capacity in his presentations. He will crumble at the weight of the presidency of this nation on him.

Kobojunkie:
Meaning the power over the state is retained by the federal government in this? How is that a good thing?

No, the state authorities eg governor is a member of national police council. This is different from the present Police Service Commission. The PSC recommends senior federal police appointments to the president while National Police Council NPC recommends senior state police appointments.

Details are still evolving. The bill when passed will just amend the constitution. The present Police Act will be unbundled and amended. The operational mode of the federal and state police will be clearly spelt out in the new Police Act.
