Let them "draft" Jonathan and even drag him like a houseboy.

All that should matter to you is that the Presidency remain in the South.

Na Atiku I just pity.
Look if the SE and SS fall for this,the north will be back to power and the ronu will have all the blame....yes cos they have so much poisoned the Southern brotherhood and waters and won't stop.

Obi is never becoming president of Nigeria…I don’t think you people understand the politics of Nigeria.

The reason why Jonathan is being considered by some is precisely because they do t want a southerner with a 2 term option.

That alone should tell you that Obi was and is never an option not 2023, not 2027, not 2031, not ever!

There is no pathway that leads to an Obi presidency, not ever! I am not going to sit here and say Tinubu will get a second term but 2 things I am sure of 100%…. Both Atiku and Obi will never be president of Nigeria. They had their sliding door moment in 2023 and they both blew it. Atiku for underestimating and disregarding Obi and Obi for leaving the PDP. That ship has sailed for both of them.
Just talking nonsense like a witch.
No single basis in reality.

You think the whole of Nigeria is your village?

If it was left to you, obi would not even get one single vote in 2023.

Clown.

Igbos never voted Buhari because 1) we respected zoning

And two we knew he was a failure

Gave give to Yorubas once and boom they betrayed southern president

Igbos have achieved a lot without president you need it more than most
Igbos respect zoning but we're loudest in defending Jonathan's decision to contest in 2010 against the need for a Northerner to have succeeded Yaradua. Funny.

I'm not a supporter of Tinubu but north can not stop him from wining in 2027 election is only God that can stop him, Tinubu is not GEJ that doesn't know how to use power...
If thiefnibu try any rubbish by rigging himself in again for the second time, then kiss Nigeria goodbye. Everywhere go burst and he may lose his life if a revolt occur as a result. Don't do something you will regret. You Thiefnubuu supporters should be careful.

PO should behave like Mandela do a one term and make way for another igbo by his performance, the way Nigeria is presently structured, power rotates between North and south as it is south has done half of it 2 terms with Tinubu obi should just look for the remaining one term ,that's how he can appeal to the north

If gej runs ,Atiku will automatically support him once all his northern brothers support gej . Hejnis a good candidate for the north , he will only use one term of office which plays to the advantage of the north as power will rotate back to the north after 4;years. Peter Obi on the other hand will still contest but it will be difficult for him ,because even his base in the south east will be divided between the three political giants ,BAT,,GEJ AND OBI.
The same is likely to be the same with the south west , so the deciding factor will again be the north . With the way thing are going I don't think Tinubu will get the kind of support he got in the last elections

Atiku won't support anybody but himself learn how not to trust politicians so you won't have BP.

Actually i want him to get as many votes as possible because the more votes he gets, the more he takes away votes from PDP. As someone who wanted Tinubu to win, Obi was never and never will be a probem. The problem always has been and always will be PDP. So long as Obi is in the picture, neither are a problem because Obi's votes are cannibalized PDP votes.

I warned you in 2022, emotional and brainless people like you abused me because you reason with ego not intellect and evidence based analysis. The results vindicated me.

Elections are about 1)numbers and 2) politics

1: Numbers (self explanatory)
i said it at the time (now everyone realises it) that Tinubu became president the minute Obi left PDP (check my post history around the dates he left PDP onwards).......you cannot split the opposition and expect to defeat an incumbent. This is simple arithmetic and common sense devoid of emotions or sentiment. It took 5 groups: AD, new PDP, CPC, ANPP aand APGA to wrestle power from Jonathan. You divide yourselves into 3 and think you can defeat an incumbent? Where do they get their brains from? Did they not teach them basic arithmetic in school? You are not even strategic enough to win an election that was yours on a platter and they want to run a country?

2: politics: (how are you perceived, what is the acceptability of your candidate? who are the power brokers backing you)

many Ibos have insulted and keep insulting all the major ethnic groups in Nigeria, there is already historical distrust from the North dues to 1966 events, now they have descended on the other southern groups with insults every other day. The problem the ibos have is that the people whose votes the ibos need to be president are the very people they have been calling all sorts of names since 2015 or their is historical distrust due to events of 1966. Lets not forget they say they want to leave Nigeria. nobody is going to vote for a president who is sympathetic to those who want to leave the country. If you want to kill yourselves that is your business but you will find it difficult to find voters from the rest of Nigeria who will vote for people who refuse to condemn or outrightly support those who order the killing of soldiers etc. I dont know why this basic fact eludes you people. I am not going to appoint someone who has sworn to split up my business to head my business or a guest who has vowed to destroy my family into my home.

The only way an ibo man becomes president of Nigeria is with the backing of one of the major parties and it has to be a cosmopolitan ibo man that is acceptable to all sections of the country. He needs either the backing of the North (unlikely) or the overwhelming backing of the middle belt/SS and SW. Either way, the next slot for a fresh southern president is 2037.

My advice to the Ibos is to build fences and tone down their rhetoric and try and play politics with intelligence or else 2037 will come and it will go to the SS and heaven will not fall!! And I will feel bad for those sensible Ibos who are actually trying to build bridges.

I will just end by saying you are your own worst enemies. your attitude may work in business but politics is about relationships. if you alienate everyone who votes for you? its been 64 years no elected ibo president. instead of insulting and abusing everyone take some time in your quiet moment and ask what am we doing wrong? .......I have just told you above.

Your accusal of Yoruba of shutting the Middle Belt-South alliance is at best dishonest because that alliance was proposed right from independence by the Yoruba leadership with the offer that Igbos would be the beneficiary but the Igbo leadership scuttled it for a reason which is still difficult for any right thinking person to make any sense from. You can't now suddenly turn around after 64 years to ask for what you rejected and thwarted when it really mattered most.

I will like to see Gej vs Tinubu



Both of them will not do the bidding of Northerners in second term, it could mark the end of Northerners political overzealousness


Tinubu in his first term dey tell it to their face that he's the president and that's why they've been wailing, they want a baby feed president like others


Gej might be gentle but he was just being gentle because of second term ambition, reelecting him will make him correct many mistakes and he had nothing to lose again if he fúck northerners in their face, or after president what else will he need again


The picture of Peter obi in 2027 election is to vice Atiku if Gej decline the offer

Will it improve your life by any percentage?

You think Nigerians are stupid, or don't know what is good for them like you?

The problem with your people is that you insult everyone and when they respond or call you out you call them bigots! Why everywhere you go it is always you? Why always you?

I am telling you why you lost and telling you how to win without fear because I know you will make the same errors again. PRIDE Will never allow you to do the right thing.

All this grandstanding will lead to nowhere. With the way this people are unrelenting with this their "born to rule, either directly or by proxy", mentality, the country will either break peacefully or by war. We can't continue to allow them have their way, especially when it is obvious that they have nothing progressive to offer apart from just owning everything in Nigeria for themselves and tribe members. Nigeria is not their personal property. Everybody must open their eyes and be ready to defend their ancestral homes. This people mean no good for the South and Middle belt.

Stop talking nonsense.

The igbo man won Lagos, Abuja, and 10 other states just like tinubu.
And he was running in labour party for crying out loud.

And that was when tinubu had not already shat the bed with his incompetence, and could garner votes based on preconceived notions of competence before the elections.

Since then, Obi has gotten stronger and has more credibility, while tinubu has gotten weaker due to his incompetence as president.

Where is tinubu's support base?
He has pissed off much of the south and the North.
It would take a Maurice -iwu level of rigging for him to win.
That much is clear to anybody with a brain that is not analyzing politics based on sentiments.

Obi may probably not win, not because he can't on his own merit, but because he is limited by the spread of his political party.

If he runs as VP to atiku in the pdp, we will have a new president in 2027.
