This Election is not about OBI bt about the power returning to the masses and the only person that can give the power to the masses is Peter Obi, if we put Tinubu there, Tinubu will refuse to go even after performing badly but if we put Obi there and he perform badly, we the masses will remove him instantly but whatever come 2023 we SOUTH south we are OBIDIENT

I just pity osogbo people especially, i hope and pray they will not regret this action.
Indeed Oyetola is a prudent and visionary leader.
We dont value what we have.It is a pity.
We shall be here after four years of Adeleke to also examine his administration. All the best to Osun State

LocalStandard1:
I start like this.

2015. The then President Jonathan contested for a second term against current President Buhari. Most of the North and South West voted President Buhari while most of the South East and South South went for President Jonathan. And it was more of a fifty-fifty in the Midde belt states.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is from the South South.

But Up till this very moment the Igbos have continued to be at the receiving end of most of the punishment for the 2015 and previous elections against Buhari. It doesn't end there.

For as long as I can remember, if there is any crisis that involves another tribe the Igbos are almost always attacked. case in point, virtually all the crisis in Kaduna and plateau states the Igbos most be attacked by the antagonists.

Why?

Why are they attacked by the ruling party in Osun State?

Why did Tinubu leave his major opponents and their party but attacks the LP and Obi.

even Seun, without confirming a guy's tribe attacked him as Igbo. I, as well as many here are automatically called Igbo and Ibop jus cos we stand with Peter Obi.

Is it because they represent Christianity in Nigeria?

Well well well!! Let all well meaning Nigerians and Christians also stand in defence of these people because they will do the same for every other person or group.

I know this cos as a Northern minority I've seen Igbos stand by us in times of strife and injustice. You all witnessed a snippet at Banex, Abuja some months ago. Even though the security guy is a minority they defended him and took the battering from the government.

It is about to get even worse if Peter Obi wins or even losses (God forbid).

It is time to also stand by these people, well meaning Nigerians.

Thank you.

Igbos? Overambitious?

Away with your stupidity, please!

Northern groups coming together in their own enclave- for a communal course- becomes an igbo ambition?

Go and play outside.

Yes!
I don't like Igbos!! And am not apologetic about that!

2023 I will side and vote for Atiku my brother, a nationalist and a unifier!!

At this point in time... If u keep Peter Obi and Tinubu for us to vote!

Believe you me, Peter Obi is going to win the north hands down!!

APC miscalculated by giving their flag to Tinubu.

What happens to Ameachi or Osinbanjo?? Why this Old sick man for God sake??

Someone that I know for sure that Buhari the failure is more better than both mentally and physically...

Dear Yorubas stop trying to blackmail your southern counterpart the Igbos with tribalism and ipob!

There's nothing the Igbos have done to the northerners that Yorubas have not done...

Is it the killings?? We have not forgotten so soon!!

The media war... Using your media to amplify hate against the north, Nairaland inclusive!

You guys should stop forming Saint!!

This is politics, to clear your doubts...

Peter Obi's popularity is growing in the north especially North central and some Part of north west!!

Like i always say " I prefer my face to face enemy over an enemy disguise as a friend stabbing me from behind!!

Tinubu is a failed project!! Bamaso!!

Davidblen:
The truth is that tinubu supporters are not banking on his popularity to win, they are hoping and praying that Buhari pulls off some magic for them ,

The bitter truth tinubu supporters are finding hard to swallow is that they know Buhari will not use his office or federal might to rig the elections for them

Baba has gotten he wanted , he care less about anybody, and we all know fully well that Tinubu was never his preferred candidate, Tinubu got the ticket with his brute dodgeness

APC should re-strategize or else Tinubu will cry in 2023

SadiqBabaSani:
The expression of disgust over Tinubu's Muslim-Muslim ticket continued over the weekend as many notable persons have questioned the insensitivity behind such a move by the man many have come to refer to as the Maradona of South West politics.

Be it as it may that unless something extra ordinary happens, we may never get a substitution of Shetima lets look to X-ray potential Northern Christians that would have added value to the ticket.


My picks would be:

1.Simon Lalong
2.Yakubu Dogara
3.Boss Mustapha
4.Babachir Lawal


My Belief is that, Tinubu Together with for instance a Simon Lalong would have gotten Christian Votes from both North and South.


I am sure his fears about this was an Atiku who has okowa behind him, but he failed to realise that had he chosen a Christian running mate and tried to convince a Wike to work with him, he would have gotten More votes from the South and Solidarity votes from Northern Christians and other Sensible Northerners.


Tinubu Knew his ticket would be laced with several problems but wouldn't allow an Osibanjo or Ameachi APC ticket that would have bulldozed Atiku away at the Presidential polls.


A Tinubu ticket was a problematic ticket from the onset

It's not your fault, but the British colonialists who lumped us together. As Shari'a drunk eeditots,you have no business with truly secular Nigerian state. The Arabs and Islamic States would have been your destination. But you're here in our midst disturbing our peace and progress. Depending on bigotry and Islamic irredentism to smear our political space.
We don't need your region in our country because you're backward and educationally pervasive.
Your time shall soon some.... Major Gideon Orkar gave insight of what will happen to Shari'a drunk States.

Forget that yeye talk. I am a Christian from SW.
we do not discriminate unlike other region before we elect our leaders here. 6 states in SW, no Muslim at all, so what's our excuse of not supporting Tinubu because he chose a Muslim. Muslim-Muslim ticket is a problem in the East and South not West

Validated:
We are talking of Federal Government, you are here talking of state. Does state religious demography equate that of Nigeria? Who cares if NW goes with Muslim-Muslim or SE goes with Christian-Christian? That is a fact of their religiius demography. But trying to crush our national religious diversity on the aktar of "competence" amounts to political incompetence abd Tinubu and APC will pay dearly for it.
If Buhari with cult following was smart enough to avoid the political pitfall of muslim-muslim ticket, Tinubu should know better.

Yorubalandlord:
Omooor, the respect is deserved.
Carry go sir we the yoruba Christian are giving you our full support.
Let all sensible Nigeria put hands together to vote out APC with there Muslim Muslim ticket.
Note: I'm not Among adan people.
I'm fully obedient and yusful to my great country Nigeria

Validated:
What wecare against is muslim-muslim ticket. Christiabs are prohibited from voting muslim-muslim ticket. I mean PROHIBITED because it is an abominable act to do so, it us worse than witchcraft and sorcery

GreatBoss:
Osun elections have given all Nigerians a feeling of Strength any Christian that vote either Atiku or Tinubu is not a Christian and should just change Religion to Islam.

If because of small change you can deny Jesus that you believe in that means you are not different from the Judas in the Bible.


In the Constitution of the curse called Nigeria, Sharia is mentioned so soo many times
But no other Religious properties
They practice Sharia secretly in many ways.
Check all Naira Notes and you see Arabic and Islamic writings at the back of all of them.

I visited Peter Obi when he was Governor, he means well for Nigeria-APC Chairman



I visited Peter Obi when he was Anambra state Governor and he means well for Nigeria - APC chair, Adamu confess

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Adamu, says he will never underrate the power of the opposition parties, including the Labour Party, ahead of next year's elections.

Adamu, who was speaking on Arise TV on Sunday, said his experience in politics has taught him never to underestimate the powers of his rivals.

He described the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Iyorchia Ayu; and the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as people who are well grounded and mean well for the country.



In his words “Honestly I have never ever underestimated the capacity of my opponents, I will not do so now. This is not the first time I will be party chairman, I have been secretary of the party, I have been chairman of the party at the state level I have faced elections, I have won some and lost some, I have no reason whatsoever to doubt my opponent.

The gentleman who is chairman of PDP is a friend of mine, we have known even before we got these positions.

“Peter Obi I knew him when he was governor of Anambra state, I visited him. These are people who mean well as far as I’m concerned, from their outbursts they mean well. They are well grounded, I don’t have doubts about that.


“So I have no reason whatsoever to underestimate their ability to lead their people to victory.”

https://twitter.com/YeleSowore/status/1545376089882648579?t=9ikRl0rp8OvN-pNX_QXfCQ&s=19[/quote]Obi cannot win anything without a structure..if he eventually won , how do u want him to rule successfully without the support of the parliaments... You thought executive order is allow in sane democratic model ? Obi will be another failure.... He lack leadership structure and not knowledgeable anough to administer a country as large like nigeria....

He failed woefully while governing anambra... Today nothing is special in that same anambra.. Kano, kaduna , ogun state Oyo state river state and Delta State are all developed than anambra.... No tangible infrastructures Worthy to admire in anambra.... That state still look primitive and. Unproductive... Majority anambra celebrities made it out of the state

If u ask all these Obidient , to mention just one thing that obi built that is not in other state in Nigeria.... You will realize that all dis noise they are making online only based on the hatred they had in mind for the hausas/ fulanis and yorubas... They just hate tinubu for supporting buhari.... They hate any anybody who has contrary opinion/choice to them... You must like what they like before they love u... They are bigited , Christian extremist and fantastic in nature....

I keep on repeating this statement that , Niger Delta was safed the day it rejected Biafra...

Thier toxicology attitudes are top-notch...


Obi candidacy is an ibo agenda.... Obi is an ipobian..

Totilopussylick:
He, however, noted that the party would be responding appropriately after studying the results and consulting with critical stakeholders of the party.


These man should start by packing up all of his belongings from the Osun government house.

He will understand the results better in his living room .

Prozico22:
thank God Obi go win SOUTH SOUTH AND SOUTH EAST
DRUGLORD ONLY SOUTH WEST
ATIKU NORTH
WE ARE OK

nameo:
The Peter Obi movement is not just online. It is HUGE offline. Real huge.

I dont know where you are in Nigeria, but in the SE, SS, parts of SW(esp Lagos) and parts of the NC/NE("Middle belt" ), Obi movement is huge and more importantly, growing.

As to the factors currently operating and likely to affect next year's election:

1. Huge interest shown by the Youths (and Young people), a demographic that is not only by far the largest in the country, but one that is usuallly uninterested in previous elections, have now been woken up and would vote in massive numbers this time around. They are also the demographic with the greatest passion, needed to power a movement.

2. The higher interest of the south compared to the north, except perhaps Kano and environs(Kwankwaso effect).

3. The fact that as it stands, Peter Obi is the only candidate amongst the big four that is assured of a regional block vote(Southeast). None of the others can get a regional block vote. As a matter of fact, the upper north(where Kwankawso and ATiku comes from) will be shared by at least three of the candidates whilst the Southwest(where Tinubu comes from) will be shared by 3 of the candidates also. No body has ever won elections in Nigeria without a regional block vote behind him.

4. The Momemtum of the election is with Obi(and to some extent, Kwankwaso) whilst the 2 other older parties have issues with regional and religious balancing - they have issuesi n their parties currently. Momentum, if it continues to the day of the elections, have always been crucial to winning elections.

5. The organic nature of some of the campaigns(esp Obi and Kwankwaso), making the campaigns very unpredictable as people would be doing much of the work themselves as the "spirit leads", without direct inducement from the candidates. We have already started seeing it with the printing of campaign materials and billboards, raising of funds, man-to-man "preaching" of preferred candidates, political parades organised by random people, etc. that one sees only with the Obi and (again to some extent, Kwankwaso) movements.

6. The narrative of the elections so far is with Obi and his supporters. The obedients have for example almost completely taken over the online(Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, even Tittok, etc) media and even offline(Obi is perhaps the most talked about candidate, even from other parties, currently). This has been very frustrtaing to the older parties as they know very well how the narrative is crucial to winning elections(the main reason for the attack on the character of "Obedients" by the old parties). That was one of the things used effectively by APC in 2015.

7. The fact the country is truly messed up and people are just TIRED of the old(current) system, to the point of been a Life-and-death situation/decision for them. From terrible lived insecurity, personally biting economy(inflation, exchange rate, poverty rate, unemployment rate, debt levels etc), terrible infrastructure esp Power, a dead education and health system(e.g 6 months running ASUU strike in an election year), badly managed diversity by the ruling elites, unimaginable corruption, etc etc. This is perhaps the greatest hindrance to both the APC (especially) and PDP.

8. The general sentiment that power should shift to the south. A sentiment even shared by a lot of persons in the north, talkess of the south. It is generally felt that power should move back to the south after spending 8 years in the north.

9. The Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling party, which would be very fatal to APC in the Middle belt(parts of NC/NE) as well as most parts of the south, which trust me will be harnessed to effect by some of the political parties. This is very huge as Christains are very angry, esp northern Chrristains. When you see most northern APC members openly complain, it is not just that they feel slighted themselves, it is also that there is the real fear that they will not only lose the Presidential elections but may also lose in other down-the-ballot positions(Governoships, NA, SHA, etc) as their people would not vote for any thing APC due to the Muslim-muslim tciket. And may I repeat that this is very real in those populations, as christains are currently massively mobilizing. And with the nature of the next Presidential elections(SE been reserved for one candidate, and SW, NE, NW, SS very competive), anybody who can win the NC(generally) and most parts of the "Middle belt" may very likely win the elections. This would clearly be in favour of Atiku and Obi, with Obi in prime position if he can make allainces and harness these votes, been the only Christain candidate amongst the big four.

10. The new electoral law, with the use of BVAS and the automatic upload of results from the PU, and the fact that election management has been improving markedly as evidenced in the last Osun election, is a huge burst to the new parties/candidates. This is cos a lot more people will have greater confidence that their votes will count. Also, there is a far lesser chance of election manipulation as was the case previously.

11. Arising partly from point 10 above, and the general greater interest shown by a large majority of people in the next election(as evidenced for instance by the ongoing and unprecedented PVC registration and collection), the voter turnout in 2023 is expected to be much higher than say 2019(where just about 30% of registered voters actually voted). This is crucial as not only does the majority of registered voters refuse to vote in previous elections, but that 30% minority is the main reason the "structure" of the old political parties work: these 30% are mostly members of the political parties; the family, friends, villagers etc of the candidates, and a few others who are mobilized by the deployment of money or sentiments by these old politicians. Thsi time around as more people vote, the effect of this minority voters("structure" would be much smaller. Also, most of these voters(both the new ones and the
old voters that normally dont vote) are likely to vote the newer candidates/parties.

12. Peter Obi is the candidate with the CHARACTER and the MESSAGE, and people are very receptive to the possibility of change.

13. The elections is still 7 months ago even after the choosing of candidates, unlike what is obtained previously. As they say, a day is a lifetime in politics, talkless of 7 months.

I do not kid myself. There is a lot of work to be done by Obi and the campaign. There are 2 main factors militating against his candidature and they are considerable(I will talk about these later), but I believe he has a path to victory next year. The current factors, momentum and NEED favours this.

Personally, i have chosen to vote for him cos i really want the "old system" to be changed. And i believe that from the Big 4, he is the one to most likely make that happen.
