Peter Obi might win in Anambra state – Soludo
January 19, 2023

Governor Chukwuma Soludo and Peter Obi
By Miftaudeen Raji

Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra state said the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi may win the February 25, 2023, presidential election in the state.

Soludo stated this in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, a political show monitored by our correspondent on Thursday.

He said, “I wish Peter Obi the best of luck. Let him go and compete as others,” “We (APGA) are also competing in the same race. We have our own candidate (Peter Umeadi), who is also son of the soil, coincidentally from Anambra State as well, and he will do his own bit, get his own votes.”

The governor referred to his piece in November 2022 where he said that Obi might win in Anambra but won’t win the overall presidential election.

He said, “In that piece, I even considered that Peter Obi might win in Anambra State. I did mention that.”

Soludo, however, doubted the chances of Obi to win the overall presidential election next month.

Governor Soludo, who is he new national leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), also said he has given Obi all the support a state government can offer to a former governor like Obi, who was in office between 2006 and 2014.

The Anambra governor said he has been fair to all parties campaigning in the state and has not denied them state facilities to use for rallies.

Recall that Soludo and Obi were at loggerheads over the state of Anambra economy and investments.


The Anambra governor, Soludo, had said the investments Obi left in government are worth close to nothing.

He said Obi couldn’t win the 2023 presidential election as there are “two persons/parties seriously contesting for president” – Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

But in his reply, however, Obi said he did his little as governor of Anambra and urged Soludo to do his best in the state as an economics professor.

The duo, after the tirade, met at a public function in Awka, where they embraced each other, a development that has been described by many as a “reconciliation move.”

The Chelsea man refused to pick calls from the Super Eagles coach during his recent trip to England and is the reason why he was left out of the squad Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh has sensationally revealed that he was snubbed by Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel during his recent trip to England. It was the reason the player was ignored from the squad that would face Tanzania next month. Oliseh told media on Thursday in Abuja that he had attempted to reach out to the midfielder ahead of the Community Shield game against Arsenal but he was rebuffed by the 28-year-old’s decision not to respond to his phone calls. “I met with the players when I went to England on Thursday, the day Chelsea was coming back from a tour before they played Arsenal in the Community Shield,” said Oliseh. “I put a call through to John Obi Mikel. I called him four times, the phone kept ringing. I sent him a text message, I got no response. I called [Victor] Moses, the phone rang three times. “And I spoke with [Moses], I told him to concentrate on his game and after the game he came to my hotel room we spoke and I made him understand that my priority is building a new team and everybody is starting from zero and I needed to see players playing. “From there I [made] a trip to Liverpool there is no secret anymore, you all know about it [meeting with Jordan Ibe] everybody knows. I spoke with other players and their parents and I never got a call back from Obi Mikel until I traveled back home. But just yesterday I saw a missed call on my phone so at the moment I don’t know what the situation is now. “For me everybody is the same and every player we call answers. To us it’s not up to me but I want to clear one thing if anybody wants to play for the Super Eagles we will all be treated the same way. “I even told the players playing at home that home based player for me doesn’t exist, if you are a better player in Nigeria we will play you. The thing is that I have not spoken to him and I made efforts but no response, so I don’t know what to do. You people should tell me what to do, I don’t know,” Oliseh asked. Www.goal.com

The PDP presidential candidate and
incumbent President of the country, Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan says he will graciously bow
out if he loses the March 28 presidential
elections to his major opponent, Rtd Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, the APC candidate.
In a chat with international media, he said
Nigeria was not his father's Estate and that
he would confidently win the March 28
elections. Failing, which he'll return to his
country home of Otueke in Bayelsa state.

I've always maintained that knocking
Governor
B.R. Fashola (SAN) for his achievements all
because I'm running for Governor on a
different
platform will just be playing mere politics -
and
that's not what I've set out to do in this
campaign. However, I like to think Governor
B.R. Fashola (SAN) and I have very different
positions and ideologies when it comes to
leadership and what we both think is critical
to
developing Lagos into a world class mega-
city.
Which leads me to an issue that needs to
addressed. An issue that has to do with our
doctors and healthcare workers.
First and foremost, I find it heart wrenching
that at our level of development in Lagos, we
still have to grapple with the decision of
paying
the salaries of our doctors. You see, quite
simply, we cannot expect to have grown our
economy by almost a hundred fold in the last
16 years without improving the lives and
working conditions of our healthcare
workers.
It's not just logical. What's the purposes of
building schools, if our children cannot afford
it. What's the purpose of building bridges, if it
doesn't connect people to commercial
activity.
What's the purpose of leadership, if there are
no followers. What's the purpose of such
great
prosperity, if it doesn't trickle down to the
least
of us. This is where I think we fundamentally
differ. There's a semblance of being
Progressive
on the surface but the position and decisions
that the honorable Governor has made over
his
tenure leaves us to wonder if truly he and the
leaders in the Lagos' ruling party, the APC, are
true Progressives - in the footsteps of great
Yoruba leaders like Awolowo and LK Jakande.
You see being progressive has nothing to do
with your party. It's in your lifestyle, in your
instinct, it's subconscious. I learnt this from
my great mentor Pa Abraham Adesanya - A
man that took me under his wings as a
young
politician and taught me all I know about
politics. He would say, "It's about the people.
At the end of the day, no other metric counts,
no validation is greater than the one you see
on the faces and lives of the people. If they
are
hungry and without jobs; if they're without a
roof over their heads; if they're uneducated
and
lack the life skills to compete; then we've all
failed even if we build the tallest of
skyscrapers or the longest of bridges." That's
what I call being Progressive.
So don't lecture me on experience. If doesn't
have a human face to it, it's all for nothing.
Let me assure Lagosians that hope is on the
way. And being a Pharmacist myself and
understanding the importance of a healthy
people to national development, I intend to
do
more in this area. I have said under my
watch,
we shall introduce a free-health insurance
scheme that would be beneficial to Lagosians
and service providers amongst other things.
It's
bold - no doubt - but it's possible. As long as
we have the the political will to see it
through,
it will happen.
In this election, it is important that we let the
opposition know that when it comes to
being
Progressive:
it is not in the size of the cap, it's in the
THOUGHTS.
It's not by the shape of the glasses, it's in the
VISION.
And it's definitely not for them to decide
whose
foot the shoes fit. Our Progressiveness is
about
the PATH that Lagosians themselves choose
to
travel and our ability as leaders to harness
that.
God bless.

I will take the broom cos it helps in maintaining cleanliness. The umbrella usually becomes useless during certain seasons, and even during its season of usefulness, I'll still prefer something -which is a good government- that'll enable me be in my car than walking under the rain with an umbrella that can't protect my legs from splashes and muds. As for the chicken, it will Only amounts to stomach infrastructure. Maybe that's why they are called any government in power AGIP.

you can never be in your car always now. You must need the umbrella at some point

What happens During the raining days or extreme Sunny days? I guess we need the umbrella

To be honest, I don’t know whether to
rejoice or sympathise with Gen. Buhari
anytime I read all the sweet comments
about him on social media — especially on
Twitter. I don’t know any presidential
candidate who has been so idolised in
recent times — which is an excellent
accolade any politician will gladly take. On
the one hand, it is good for him. He will not
be complaining at all. No politician will
complain about such good fortune,
especially with only a few weeks to an
election. On the other hand, my God! The
expectations are sky-high. Incredible. From
what I am reading, Buhari is expected to
perform nothing short of magic in Aso Rock
if he wins the presidential election.
I’ve been there before — as a reckless
enthusiast. I had similar expectations about
President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999. I
voted for him based on his past. But I was
totally disappointed less than six months
after he came to power. I had thought
Obasanjo was going to fight corruption as
he had solemnly threatened, only for him to
appoint Chief Tony Anenih as Minister of
Works. I thought Obasanjo was going to
build more refineries as he had promised
while reminding us of his exploits in his
previous life as head of state, but we
continued importing fuel till he left office. I
thought Obasanjo was going to address the
electricity problem but we were producing
megawatts of darkness throughout his
tenure.
Buhari’s growing popularity, particularly on
the social media, scares me at times. In an
attempt to market him, some chaps have
gone overboard, designing and spreading
beautiful disinformation about him such
that even the former head of state has had
to come out to clarify one. For instance,
there is a message being circulated that
Buhari’s daughter is married to an Igbo
man. Those who invented the rumour had a
good intention: they wanted to prove to the
world that he is not a bigot. But Buhari,
perhaps honest to a fault, has denied it. He
said none of his children is married to an
Igbo man. Interestingly, the rumour was
attributed to Obasanjo by one of the
broadcasters!
Many quotes are invented and attributed to
Obasanjo these days. One says: “I prefer that
Buhari becomes president and sends me to
jail than for Jonathan to be re-elected and
then destroys Nigeria.” This is said to have
been written by the former president in his
trilogy, “My Watch” — which the originator
of the rumour has probably not set his eyes
on. How can Obasanjo want to go to jail
again? Is it a nightclub? He was jailed for a
phantom coup by Gen. Sani Abacha. And he
was lucky to come out of Yola prison alive.
He narrowly escaped death when a wall
collapsed beside him while he was studying
the Bible one morning. Why would he want
to go to jail again?
There is even another social media rumour
that Buhari does not collect his full pension.
A Blackberry broadcast I got a while ago
said while all former heads of state collect
N27 million per month as pension, Buhari
rejected the “bogus amount” and asked to
be paid only 10% of it. The person who
originated the rumour said he personally
went to the Ministry of Finance to confirm
the figure. But, in fact, the total pension
package is N2,909,122.75 per quarter — as
confirmed to me by a former head of state.
The breakdown: pension, N878,676.20;
upkeep, N1,050,000; salaries of personal
staff, N845,446.50; telephone, N75,000; and
postal services, N60,000. Buhari never
rejected any part of it. For goodness sake, it
is his legal right. Why would he not collect it?
Good enough, Buhari has not anchored his
campaign on any of these phantom stories.
He has based his campaign on two
promises — to fight corruption and to
tackle insecurity. These issues speak directly
to the heart of the average Nigerian. Boko
Haram has made our lives miserable. What
we thought was a mere neighbourhood
gathering of some religious zealots some
years ago has developed into a massive
bomb that is shattering the peace and
eating away at our territorial integrity.
Buhari, as a retired general, is expected to
wipe out Boko Haram if he wins. Also,
corruption is, to put it mildly, a pounding
headache. As a celebrated man of integrity,
Buhari is expected to finish off corruption
with one blow to the head.
Unfortunately, many Nigerians could be very
fickle. Imagine the nicknames young people
would start calling Buhari on Twitter by this
time next year if he has not performed some
magic — assuming he wins the presidential
election. They derided President Umaru
Musa Yar’Adua even on his deathbed.
President Goodluck Jonathan’s honeymoon
lasted for barely six months. The guys that
called him “breath of fresh air” started
calling him “shoeless and clueless” as soon
as he withdrew fuel subsidy in January
2012. I don’t think Jonathan ever recovered
from the massive blow the subsidy issue
dealt on him.
Buhari’s honeymoon, if he wins, would not
last for six months, trust me. One of the
confessions of Obasanjo in 1999 was that
the world had changed remarkably since
1979 when he left power. As a military man,
he could get things done by fiat. As a
democrat, he needed to go through the
National Assembly to get a simple budget
passed. He needed to “lobby” them to make
laws for the good of Nigeria. Judges were
dragging their feet on corruption cases until
he resorted to self-help through the EFCC.
These are some of the realities Buhari would
also face if he wins. The Nigeria he led in
1985 is not the same today. Getting things
done in a democracy is a different ball game
altogether.

was just thinking, if we are to Vote based on Party Logos. Wat if u vote for APC n u re given broom, u

SaharaReporters followed the campaign
train of the PDP in the Ojodu area of Lagos
State today. During the visit, the cmpaign
shared packets of noodles, biscuits and
sweets to women and children in the streets.
Campaigners threw packs of goodies at
various shops to attract attention. Many
times, the packs went into the gutters with
children scrambling for them.

Ikengawo:
CPC highjacks ACN's fame, funding, media control, and support base through the merger. ACN is fighting to MAYBE be considered for the vice presidential post but if CPC wasn't a 1 man party (buhari) with no souther presence it would have taken that as well.

so are you saying Cpc benifitted more?

NASA has confirmed that the
Earth will experience 6 days of almost
complete darkness and will happen from the
dates Tuesday the 16 – Monday the 22 in
December. The world will remain, during
these three days, without sunlight due to a
solar storm, which will cause dust and space
debris to become plentiful and thus, block
90% sunlight.
This is the head of NASA Charles Bolden who
made the announcement and asked
everyone to remain calm. This will be the
product of a solar storm, the largest in the
last 250 years for a period of 216 hours
total.
Despite the six days of darkness soon to
come, officials say that the earth will not
experience any major problems, since six
days of darkness is nowhere near enough
to cause major damage to anything. “We will
solely rely on artificial light for the six days,
which is not a problem at all”, says NASA

WORLDWIDE

In 2013, Major opposition parties ACN(Action congress of Nigeria) and CPC(congress for progressive Change) decided to merger to form a strong threat to the ruling PDP(Peoples Democratic Party). With the 2015 Elections drawing near. I would like to get your opinion on the party that seem to have benefitted more on the Merger deal. With the both parties trying hard to make sure everything is even,I feel and think the ACN has upper hand.
1. The party leadership still remains with Bisi Akande of Acn
2. The spokesman still remains Lai mohammed of Acn
3. The party still retains logo of Broom.
So my point is why cant Mohammed Buhari, the only significant figure in Cpc be made a consesus candidate. Since dats all he is asking for? Whats ur opinion?

[cA Nigerian man resident in the US has sued
a Connecticut school for banning his
daughter over Ebola fears.
Stephen Opayemi has filed a complaint
against the Meadowside Elementary School,
in Milford, Connecticut after the school
banned his 7-year-old daughter, Ikeoluwa
for 21 days, the normal quarantine period
for the disease.
Opayemi and his daughter had attended a
wedding in Nigeria and this caused panic as
parents and teachers were concerned that
she could transmit Ebola to other children in
the school despite the fact that she had not
exhibited any symptoms.
The aggrieved father filed the suit in a
federal court in New Haven, Connecticut and
asked a judge to order the school to allow
Ikeoluwa back into class.
The child’s mother Ikeolapo Opayemi said:
"We're hoping this will get her back into
school as soon as possible."
Nigeria had 20 Ebola cases and eight deaths
before it successfully contained the disease
and was declared Ebola-free by the World
Health Organization on Oct. 20.
