He said: “We need a brilliant person who can work for the development of Ekiti and we have seen that in BAO. All LP are coming together to day it is only BAO that can do it.

Nonsense!
Why not stand on your own and test the popularity of the party? It doesn’t make sense

That is the issue..Labour Party cannot afford to neglect state selections

Omo , money is the thing.....

Yoruba don dey use sense to fight for Tinubu..


Apc victory In Ekiti is a signal to all south westerners...


Tinubu is a game changer.. very dangerous man.,..

The Labour Party presidential candidate who is supposed to campaign for other contestants in elections have travelled to Egypt...later when a winner emerges, complaints will arise on the internet.

It is too early to cry. Na on Election Day una eyes go clear. Sebi Labour Party get structure for Twitter and Facebook. Na that social media structure go mobilize for Peter Obi Pandora on Election Day.

See, even Fayose will still end up collapsing his structure for Tinubu in Ekiti. Next week’s election will be a clear victory for APC. Next year, Segun Oni and Fayose will come together to work for Tinubu. We shall deliver 90% of total vote cast in Ekiti state to Tinubu. Peter Obi no go see shishi.

Lol. Obi Pandora play social media politics, the guy is not really interested in becoming president.

Why won't the LP candidate collapse his structure into APC in Ekiti? Peter Obi failed the test of leadership by not being there for his comrades. A party presidential candidate that can't lend critical to his party at this crucial time is a nonentity.

He don start

Truly the Pandora thief is an orphan

Nobody wants to associate with an apprentice presidential candidate.
9months to election. A 2 term Gov. A former VP candidate wants to go and learn how to fix schools and hospitals.

Truly the Pandora thief did nothing as a Gov.

I think he knows his audience...he wants to win on social media. That in itself is fine

A man who is a kingmaker isn’t supposed to be a king. Where’s the honor? ing a 95% decayed fossil to be your president is the most stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Just to remind you that I have not yet declared my for any presidential candidate before you tag me a Peter Obi. er

Stop these lies. Be proud of your Pandora fraud for once

That one is a local politics.

Peter Obi is a million times better than Tinubu in all ramifications.
Meanwhile...

That man you labelled a 95% decayed fossil defeated Ogbonnaya Onu, Umahi, Nwajiuba, Okorocha and all the leading Igbo leaders in APC.

So you see, calling him a dirty name to make yourself feel good won’t change anything. He’s more brilliant, popular and national acceptable than anybody from the entire Igbo race. I’m ing him for his brilliance, public istration experiment and record of achievements as governor of Lagos state. The Tinubu presidency will be the best we’ve seen since 1999.

Doesn’t stop him from being a decayed fossil. If he likes let him defeat Buhari on who goes to London more on medical trips.

Meanwhile Seun, below is the reason i will vote for Tinubu

Your vote is inconsequential as far as Nigeria is concerned so keep it for Peter Obi Pandora. Tinubu knows where to get the needed votes from and it’s definitely not from the 5% noisemakers.

Seunmsg, stop arguing with me along ethnic lines. You can see I never mentioned your ethnic group. If you must know, i ed Osinbajo to win the primaries because he’s very fit. I am not ing Tinubu because he’s Yoruba if you must know

why are you pained if my vote is inconsequential? I am sure you don’t have a PVC. I am very sure

Ok

Obi fools has brought his confusion again. If Peter obi comes second in the general elections, I will deactivate all my social s. Anything above 3rd is unacceptable!

You can't win elections anywhere in the world by just speaking English, "telling the people the truth", and not playing politics.

It's one thing to have good intentions but accepting the fact that you would need the help of those with bad intentions is very key in life. Use them to achieve your major goal and put them in their place respectfully when it's all done.

This is where Tinubu triumphs other politicians. Master the act of using people without making them feel used (the "at least me sef chop there" feeling).


The earlier Peter Obi realises this, the better for him and his team.

Las las, Peter Obi too will collapse into APC at national level and IPOB can be given the key to the gate of Atlantic Ocean to go drawn inside.

lol


Na Presidency only dem want dem no want Governor or Nass Member....

Nah Nigeria for you. They like the easy way out.

What structure though?

How i argue my case is none of your business. I can argue anyhow I like in as much as I’m not violating the forum’s rule.

You never ed Osinbajo so stop lying. You and your folks wanted anybody apart from Tinubu and Osinbajo as APC candidate. Stop attaching yourself to Osinbajo to hide your hatred for the south west. Osinbajo and Tinubu are on the same page.
