Swear down, Tinubu is the most influential politician among his peers. The news of him having a meeting with Wike in London sent shivers down the spine of his opponents. First, it was Atiku racing fast to catch up with Wike a day after and now Obi begging Obasanjo to come save his ass all the way in London. Who says Tinubu is not the master of the chess?.
While they were busy clowning themselves at the NBA Conference, Tinubu was behind the scene pulling the carpet under their feet.

All these calculations are going to weaken the pdp and reduces the chances of Atiku eventually. It's still an advantage to Tinubu las las.
No problem, let it be.

Most of you do not know the mind-set of the remaining military commanders that fought the Nigerian civil war. These men namely Ibrahim Babangida and Obasanjo are just in the twilight of their lives and are uncomfortable with the fragility of today's Nigeria. They don't want to go to their graves leaving the country in a collapsing condition. A country each of them suffered bullet wounds in order to keep it united.

These ex commanders knows quite well that a president from the South East and a resourceful person for that matter, would finally unite the country and entrench their legacies when they're no longer here with us. Hence these concerted efforts.

Aspiring Nigerian leaders ... meeting in London ... to hold meeting concerning Nigerian politics. Why? We need to pay attention to this yellow flag. What we see here is the next set to take office will be making trips abroad ... not medical trips but discussion trips.

*MR. PETER OBI SUCCESSES IN ANAMBRA STATE AS A GOVERNOR*
The list below are the records of Mr. Peter Obi stewardship to the good people of Anambra when he was their Governor and not the one his predecessor or successor achieved. Why some are afraid to tell the world what they did during their own tenure but prefer showcasing the achievements of their successors because they know they performed below percentage.

1. Peter Obi built from scratch Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku, Akwa with 25 building structures.

6. He also distributed 700 school buses to secondary schools and 200 school buses to primary schools.
7. He donated 3M and 444M naira to Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches respectfully to rehabilitate their schools. Considering their needs at that time.

9. In order to promote reading culture in the state, he erected and adequately equipped Prof. Kenneth Modern Library, Awka. He also rehabilitated the Divisional Library, Onitsha.
10. He gave 500 thousand naira to each secondary schools in the state to provide library materials and books to their library. This revolution tremendously boost the performance of students, as the state went from 26th position out of the 36 states in the federation to 1st position in the federation.
11. He gave one security vehicle to each of the 177 communities in Anambra. This in turn improved the security situation in Anambra tremendously.
12. He cleared pension and gratuity owed since 1991 by paying the beneficiaries a whooping sum of 37B.
13. He gave monthly #10k stipend to any Anambran above 80 years of age.

23. He built Nigeria Stock Exchange building in Onitsha.
24. He also created the Industrial Parks to act as catalyst for Industrialization.

29. Adopted the best practice in waste management disposal by providing over 300B worth of Waste Evacuation Trucks.
30. In 2015 Anambra was adjudged as the least indebted state in the federation by Debt Management Office. This was due to his judicious use of resources coming to the state and not put burden on the unborn Anambra people.
31. The only governor that planned for rainy day. He was able to save and handed over 75B to his successor. The only man that saw that there would be cash crutch in the future and planned for it.
32. The frugality, competence and credibility of Mr. Peter Obi cannot be overemphasized because he lives by what he preaches. Why other governors made EFCC or ICPC their home after tenure, he has been working around with his head held high. No single history of court case on graft or otherwise.

Wike must be feeling himself badly now as the most sought support for next year's election.

Anyways, in all fairness to Wike, Atiku was a bit prideful and sluggish towards containing the situation at the earlier stages....however, it will be a political suicide for Wike to work against PDP.The odds favors Atiku at the moment..The battle is between APC and PDP...other mushroom parties are inconsequential and just euphoria.

Atiku will lock the north and south south...he will also take from the SE, tinubu has the south west.

P.S..If you think the northerners would settle for VP when they can have th presidency for another 8 years then you are a FOOL.

In the North, Atiku & Kwankwaso are the front-runners.
Apart from rigging, i'm still wondering where Tinubu would get his bloc votes from.
Or is it Lagos State votes that would make him win the presidential election?

PLEASE LETS DEFEND THIS WTITEUP BEFORE CELEBRATION.

PETER OBI, THE NORTH AWAITS YOUR AUGUST VISIT by Umar Dan Kano

I could remember that Peter Obi came to power on the 17th March 2006 while the famous Onitsha crisis, which led to the killings of Northerners, occurred on the 21st and 22nd day of February 2006. That was almost a month gap.

Our first meeting with Obi also coincided with his first visit to the town; all arrangements were done to receive the first citizen of the state and also to explain our predicament to him at that moment. As refugees in Army Barrack Onitsha, we took him from the barrack round to the affected areas of the crisis such as Bida Road central to see some houses burnt within the area, and then to Oba of yoruba house and palace that was razed down along sokoto and ifejika streets, then down to bridge head market by the express, where all Northern markets were burnt down. There alone, more than 100 lives were lost and properties worth billions destroyed.

The following businesses were destroyed and burnt completely .

1. Goat Market ( Northerners )
2. Cola market (Which comprised of North and Western interest)
3.Beans and Rice Market (Northerners )
4. Onions Market (Northerners )
5. Vegetables oils (Northerners )
6. Arewa parks which comprises of Maiduguri, Bauchi, Gombe, Sokoto ,Yola, Kano, Mubi and many Northern states.
7. Osogbo park (Yorubas)

But to our greatest surprise, the first thing that came out of Peter Obi's mouth was, "you people should tell your people to also stop killing our people in the North." It was like a bomb! Everyone was shocked � We couldn't believe a whole Chief Executive Officer of a state who should be for everybody, a "Governor so to say, could utter such a disgusting and an intolerant statement in the public! We all were disappointed and dispersed without even murmuring a word. Peter Obi sent a chill down our spines!

The rest was history; Peter Obi didn't even feel any pity for the lives lost nor the properties destroyed, not to talk of giving out any form of relief materials or compensation of any sort to the biggest community of settlers in the state.

Secondly, at a point in his Administration, Peter Obi decided to eject and takeover those markets mentioned earlier from the Northerners. These are markets which the Northerners had been in possession since 1974 when they were relocated from Ochanja market by the then military government. The Hausa community, thereby, rejected his moves to take them over without any provision or replacement for their original place of business.

To our surprise, Governor Peter Obi ordered the deployment of Military men, who invaded the market and took no prisoners. They shot and killed 7 (Seven) innocent market men among the protesters.

It's not easy to suddenly lose our places of income and sources of living without any replacement. So, we petitioned the matter to the office of the Sultan of Sokoto who in response sent two Emirs, that of Suleja and the Etsu of Nupe, to appease him, but even all that brought no fruitful solution. The governor stood his ground and refused to provide an alternative land for the Markets.

Eventually, his Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, had to visit the governor to beg on our behalf solely for him to provide another place for the continuation of our businesses, but 'the almighty' Peter Obi refused to change position all because we are NORTHERNERS not IGBOS.

Because we are Northerners, Obi felt we didn't deserve a land for our businesses in Anambra State. In fact, in one of our meeting with him he openly said to us and I quote, "you people are foreigners here, therefore you have no right to our land" - a clear case of an intolerant leader. Obi's discrimination and hatred to us clearly defined him as a bigot to the core. Peter Obi forgot that a day like today will come when he will need northerners for his political ambition, he forgot that there are over a Million Igbos of Anambra state origin who are scattered all over the North living comfortably with their families and businesses. So, for Obi's insensitivity and high-handedness, all the traders relocated to Asaba with their families and businesses.

NOW TELL ME, How would Peter Obi treat Northerners if he is elected the President of Nigeria? WORST OF IT ALL, Peter Obi said emphatically that he hated seeing Hausas at the point of entering of Anambra state from Delta state.� What a bigot!!

Thirdly, towards the tail end of Peter Obi's administration which coincided with the anniversary of the creation of Anambra state, we were invited by the organizers of the program who is an igbo lady residing in the North. But while making a point on the need to foster unity among Nigerians and suggested that an exchange program should be established where young people from the state should be send to Kano in Exchange for Kano Young Vocational trainees, Peter Obi quickly took over the microphone and said, there is no comparison between the North and the East not to talk of sharing skills and knowledge. He also added that such comparison is like asking China to come to Nigeria to learn Manufacturing business. He made this assertion in the public and I could remember it was the then governor of River state, Chief Rotimi Amaechi, that chaired the occasion.

Moreover, sometimes in 2018, an Igbo Bar man in Niger drive GRA Onitsha invited a Hausa Man to be selling Suya meat in front of his bar just to attract more customers to his business. The distance of the bar is about 300 metres away from Peter Obi's house, but to our greatest shock, Peter Obi invited DSS from Awka to forcibly eject the Hausa Man from the place. His offence - he was a Hausa Man from the North who should not be seen in the GRA. It took the intervention of the landlord and Arewa leaders in the the state to stop Peter Obi from perfecting his illegal motives against the Hausa Man . It should also be of note that Peter Obi equally forcefully deported people of Northern extraction back to Kaduna during his tenure as governor of Anambra state.

Now, what will Peter Obi tell people of the North if he visits any of the Northern States during campaign? How will he be able to prove that he will be a leader for all, going by his notorious antecedent?

In view of all the above Peter Obi's divisive kind of leadership and his unprovoked notorious actions against the North and Northerners, I make bold to say that he is not worthy of a single VOTE from any patriotic Northerner ('Yan Arewa) and Westerners (Yorubas). Obi is an extremely ethnic bigot and a personality very dangerous to be trusted with the highest office of the land. No matter who Peter Obi takes as his Presidential running Mate from the North, we shouldn't trust him.

~ Mallam Umar Dan Kano.

30. In 2015 Anambra was adjudged as the least indebted state in the federation by Debt Management Office. This was due to his judicious use of resources coming to the state and not put burden on the unborn Anambra people.

31. The only governor that planned for rainy day. He was able to save and handed over 75B to his successor. The only man that saw that there would be cash crutch in the future and planned for it.

32. The frugality, competence and credibility of Mr. Peter Obi cannot be overemphasized because he lives by what he preaches.

Why other governors made EFCC or ICPC their home after tenure, he has been working around with his head held high. No single history of court case on graft or otherwise.


Lies lies lies
Yet he owed doctors and pensioners salaries for almost 2 years?

In terms of liquor, those wee all his personal business..obi killed local production and encouraged importation even to tooth pick.

Did you just also give the credit of the federal government to Obi?

You're suddenly quiet? Just like Obasanjo, other Yorubas are fighting against a Tinubu presidency.
He sidelined Osinbajo who is a better candidate and chose to buy himself the party's presidential flag bearer.
What happened to Jonathan in 2015 will happen to him.
If you are pained, go and drink sniper.... BAT23 is a done deal

Swear down, Tinubu is the most influential politician among his peers. The news of him having a meeting with Wike in London sent shivers down the spine of his opponents. First, it was Atiku racing fast to catch up with Wike a day after and now Obi begging Obasanjo to come save his ass all the way in London. Who says Tinubu is not the master of the chess?.
While they were busy clowning themselves at the NBA Conference, Tinubu was behind the scene pulling the carpet under their feet.

PLEASE LETS DEFEND THIS WTITEUP BEFORE CELEBRATION.

PETER OBI, THE NORTH AWAITS YOUR AUGUST VISIT by Umar Dan Kano

I could remember that Peter Obi came to power on the 17th March 2006 while the famous Onitsha crisis, which led to the killings of Northerners, occurred on the 21st and 22nd day of February 2006. That was almost a month gap.

Our first meeting with Obi also coincided with his first visit to the town; all arrangements were done to receive the first citizen of the state and also to explain our predicament to him at that moment. As refugees in Army Barrack Onitsha, we took him from the barrack round to the affected areas of the crisis such as Bida Road central to see some houses burnt within the area, and then to Oba of yoruba house and palace that was razed down along sokoto and ifejika streets, then down to bridge head market by the express, where all Northern markets were burnt down. There alone, more than 100 lives were lost and properties worth billions destroyed.

The following businesses were destroyed and burnt completely .

1. Goat Market ( Northerners )
2. Cola market (Which comprised of North and Western interest)
3.Beans and Rice Market (Northerners )
4. Onions Market (Northerners )
5. Vegetables oils (Northerners )
6. Arewa parks which comprises of Maiduguri, Bauchi, Gombe, Sokoto ,Yola, Kano, Mubi and many Northern states.
7. Osogbo park (Yorubas)

But to our greatest surprise, the first thing that came out of Peter Obi's mouth was, "you people should tell your people to also stop killing our people in the North." It was like a bomb! Everyone was shocked � We couldn't believe a whole Chief Executive Officer of a state who should be for everybody, a "Governor so to say, could utter such a disgusting and an intolerant statement in the public! We all were disappointed and dispersed without even murmuring a word. Peter Obi sent a chill down our spines!

The rest was history; Peter Obi didn't even feel any pity for the lives lost nor the properties destroyed, not to talk of giving out any form of relief materials or compensation of any sort to the biggest community of settlers in the state.

Secondly, at a point in his Administration, Peter Obi decided to eject and takeover those markets mentioned earlier from the Northerners. These are markets which the Northerners had been in possession since 1974 when they were relocated from Ochanja market by the then military government. The Hausa community, thereby, rejected his moves to take them over without any provision or replacement for their original place of business.

To our surprise, Governor Peter Obi ordered the deployment of Military men, who invaded the market and took no prisoners. They shot and killed 7 (Seven) innocent market men among the protesters.

It's not easy to suddenly lose our places of income and sources of living without any replacement. So, we petitioned the matter to the office of the Sultan of Sokoto who in response sent two Emirs, that of Suleja and the Etsu of Nupe, to appease him, but even all that brought no fruitful solution. The governor stood his ground and refused to provide an alternative land for the Markets.

Eventually, his Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, had to visit the governor to beg on our behalf solely for him to provide another place for the continuation of our businesses, but 'the almighty' Peter Obi refused to change position all because we are NORTHERNERS not IGBOS.

Because we are Northerners, Obi felt we didn't deserve a land for our businesses in Anambra State. In fact, in one of our meeting with him he openly said to us and I quote, "you people are foreigners here, therefore you have no right to our land" - a clear case of an intolerant leader. Obi's discrimination and hatred to us clearly defined him as a bigot to the core. Peter Obi forgot that a day like today will come when he will need northerners for his political ambition, he forgot that there are over a Million Igbos of Anambra state origin who are scattered all over the North living comfortably with their families and businesses. So, for Obi's insensitivity and high-handedness, all the traders relocated to Asaba with their families and businesses.

NOW TELL ME, How would Peter Obi treat Northerners if he is elected the President of Nigeria? WORST OF IT ALL, Peter Obi said emphatically that he hated seeing Hausas at the point of entering of Anambra state from Delta state.� What a bigot!!

Thirdly, towards the tail end of Peter Obi's administration which coincided with the anniversary of the creation of Anambra state, we were invited by the organizers of the program who is an igbo lady residing in the North. But while making a point on the need to foster unity among Nigerians and suggested that an exchange program should be established where young people from the state should be send to Kano in Exchange for Kano Young Vocational trainees, Peter Obi quickly took over the microphone and said, there is no comparison between the North and the East not to talk of sharing skills and knowledge. He also added that such comparison is like asking China to come to Nigeria to learn Manufacturing business. He made this assertion in the public and I could remember it was the then governor of River state, Chief Rotimi Amaechi, that chaired the occasion.

Moreover, sometimes in 2018, an Igbo Bar man in Niger drive GRA Onitsha invited a Hausa Man to be selling Suya meat in front of his bar just to attract more customers to his business. The distance of the bar is about 300 metres away from Peter Obi's house, but to our greatest shock, Peter Obi invited DSS from Awka to forcibly eject the Hausa Man from the place. His offence - he was a Hausa Man from the North who should not be seen in the GRA. It took the intervention of the landlord and Arewa leaders in the the state to stop Peter Obi from perfecting his illegal motives against the Hausa Man . It should also be of note that Peter Obi equally forcefully deported people of Northern extraction back to Kaduna during his tenure as governor of Anambra state.

Now, what will Peter Obi tell people of the North if he visits any of the Northern States during campaign? How will he be able to prove that he will be a leader for all, going by his notorious antecedent?

In view of all the above Peter Obi's divisive kind of leadership and his unprovoked notorious actions against the North and Northerners, I make bold to say that he is not worthy of a single VOTE from any patriotic Northerner ('Yan Arewa) and Westerners (Yorubas). Obi is an extremely ethnic bigot and a personality very dangerous to be trusted with the highest office of the land. No matter who Peter Obi takes as his Presidential running Mate from the North, we shouldn't trust him.

~ Mallam Umar Dan Kano.

so true..lol he knows he is dead on arrival to the northerners...he will not get 10k votes altogether. very mean and useless man

When Wike meets Tinubu, Wike is not important. But when he meets Obi, it becomes the opposite.
because obi people are the same as wike people.
