Prof is a committed democrat who understood that in a democracy, you have to build the bridges and win a nationally contested election to be president.

Peter Obi the religious bigot believed he can win election with only Christian votes and he waged religious war polarizing pastors to use their sacred altar for propaganda. He even went all the way to tell Bishop Oyedepo what propaganda to push on a certain day especially when you know the Bishop got thousands or millions of adherents.

Even Tinubu who chose a Muslim-Muslim ticket still appeal to the Christians and had to go all the way to CAN headquarters to explain himself.

There might be an Ibo president in the future, but it won’t be Obi because he already killed his chances by himself. I tip Prof. Soludo in that regard.

Soludo would be acceptable to the North as he's not viewed as bigotic. But will he get the support of his region? History has shown that they dislike intensely, their brothers who have goodwill in the North.

You talk like a baby once political elites release information to manipulate atmosphere you jump at using it as a proof to explain things you dont know about.

Is that real voice of oyedepo am asking you. Can you defend that audio if you are called to proof its authentic.

You are easily manipulated by political jobbers or are you one of their social media agent.

Some of you have not played politics will come out saying what you dont know to influence little minds

The same people created audio of so called atiku, okowa and Tambuwal planing to rig election using CBN. Did they rigged the election as fake audio said.

Pls stop all these write up you alway do

Obi is the most divisive politician of this era. Since 1999, no politician is as divisive as Peter Obi, not even Buhari is that openly divisive.

Man is a religious bigot who openly waged a religious war all in a bid to win the presidential election. Luckily for us, his supporters don’t have the electoral numbers to win an election.

The only person with the mandate is Tinubu. On his mandate, we’ve been standing since 1999.

Insha Allah by May, he will be sworn in as the next president of Nigeria and insurrectionists like Peter Obi will be put to shame.

Dey play. Same reason why Ibos' refused to vote for Olu Falae (who happened to be the choice of majority of yorubas) and voted Obasanjo instead, is why Peter was and will always be rejected by majority of Nigerians. Peter Obi was rejected in yorubaland (and the North) during the last presidential elections because we could see that he's a bigot, so he can never be president of Nigeria coz he lacks the requisite pan-Nigeria spread.

If an Iboman will be president, he must be one that most Nigerians would feel comfortable with, not a bigot like Peter Obi. So you people must come to terms with the fact that the rest of Nigeria will be the ones to decide the best Ibo to be president, not you bigots in the SE. Know that and know peace.
Obi was rejected in yoruba land and the North, yet he won lagos state, the drug baron's stronghold, despite all the voter intimidation and supression. How come? Obi also won Abuja, yet he was rejected in the North. What happened in these two states, how come? Bitterness and hatred towards igbo will always becloud your sense of reasoning.

And by political strategy, you mean bribing INEC, deploying thugs and rigging the elections I believe.
😂😂😂😂😂

Because that is the only thing the thief is obviously good at. Before the elections, I had thought there was something politically special about him but now he's a big embarrassment to me. I wonder how the idiott was able to control Lagos all these while.

I guess it was by controlling the states resources.


But he's now the president naa😂!!
He made the necessary alliances,let not even talk about the political structure of APC.

LP never stood a chance.
It's Good that the OBI came out though.

Greed won’t let the SE politicians do what is necessary to get power back to the east.
I don’t understand how a whole tribe will sleep and point heads in the same direction.
Power won’t go to the SE If they play the same type of politics in 2027.

I will never insult Prof Wole Soyinka because he is a patriot.

He is from the Yoruba school of thought who believed we should concede to the Ibos to foster national unity. Prof. even had to dare death during the civil war to visit the East which led to his detention.

Bro, Peter Obi CANNOT be elected president in Nigeria, not now and not in 20years. His time is spent already, wake up to reality.

Online we do hear Yoruba Christian/Muslims from Ibo people who try creating the divide, we never knew it’s a direct assignment from Ibo leadership like Peter Obi. For him to strategically try to drive a wedge between SW christians/Muslims shows the kind of asinineee character he has.

One good thing I love is that people that share the mindset of Prof in the SW don’t have the power to effect anything. Anything they say is just for academic purpose and the school of thought that wield power in the West have a different approach to the Ibo question.

Since you believe that "people who have the mindset of Prof Soyinka in the SW don't have the power to effect anything," are you then proud of people like Tinubu who forfeited drug trafficking money to the US, and whose true age, schools attended in the SW, and how he became wealthy, are unknown, effecting everything in the SW? Too bad. Typically from one of the SW Tinubu urchinns - poorly educated. Indirectly insulting his Yoruba people.

Quit speaking evil of Peter Obi. Every idle word you speak against him you shall give account of it. And your judgement is near. Be careful and be warned. Peter Obi was raised by God to do a work in Nigeria. Leave him alone or He that called him will soon judge you.

Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has advocated for the presidency to go to the southeast region to heal from the wounds of the civil war.
Speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Monday, Soyinka suggested that the presidency going to the southeast will help to “rewrite the history.”
My professor sir, NOT until the South east plays politics of inclusiveness and not that of religion and ethnicity.
Thank you sir.
Be informed!!!


He said: “It is not just about reconstruction, it is also about rewriting of history.

“We believe that to close the circle of negativity that we have embarked on before and during the civil war, I believe, the presidency, as soon as possible, should go towards the eastern region which lost a war.

“This is one of the ways to heal the wounds of the nation – that is a principle and philosophy.”

According to the playwright, none of the leading presidential candidates in the just-concluded polls provided a believable agenda for restructuring, hence, he did not endorse anyone.


Soyinka said: “In fact, one of the reasons I refused to endorse any candidate is because none of the candidates addressed the things closest to my heart, like again, reconstructing the nation.

“I did not see any genuine commitment, any believable agenda about restructuring, decentralization of Nigeria which is at the heart of the problem for me at the moment.

“People were more concerned with just aiming for power.”
