He is the only southern candidate that can do one term , bringing another fresh southerner will jeopardise the opposition plan to win . Most northern politicians will rather stick with Tinubu who has only 4 more years than to a new person who will want to use 8 years

In that case, let northerners Tinubu
After Tinubu, I am sure he will hand over the mantle to a middlebeltaan.

GEJ was the person that allowed jihadists and incompetent presidents to destroy Nigeria.

If he couldn't win it when he was an incumbent, he won't be able to win against a determined criminal minded incumbent.

If the north/south can come together and bring back GEJ. The East will follow suit, Tinubu’s second term is dead!

Too late for that.
GEJ handed over Nigeria to incompetent brutes, while Peter Obi has carried the hopes of .millions of Nigerians.

Peter Obi is practically the person sorting out the mess gej made.

And even if gej were allowed to do the term, he will hand over to another bunch of incompetent northerners, so GEJ is a no-no for me.

We are fed up with this vicious circle.

He hasn't oo,he only did one term , the term that would have made it two was the one he lost the election. If he had won in 2015 then he would have done two . He competed Yar adua tenure ,then contest his own ticket . He still has one term of 4 years left ,reason why the opposition see him as a viable option because he won't seek another term after the one he wins
Let me not exchange banters with u in your lame man’s ignorance.

In due season u will find out what your mates have known since 2014.

Jonathan?

To restart the PDP looting spree?

The same PDP that ruled Nigeria for 16 years, and power generation remained under 4,000 mw despite earning 5 times more than Buhari earned per annum.

Tinubu has come in and added 2,000 megawatts in 1 year. Promising to deliver 8,000 mw by the end of his tenure.

Now they are talking about going back to Jonathan.

Nigerians never learn.

True Talk, those hypocrite Atikulated Obidients purporting to undermine President Tinubu are the worst, those of them calling for Jonathan to return, are no different from those cursed ingrates condemned to wandering aimlessly in the wilderness for 40 years that told Moses that they want to return to Egypt.

Jonathan will lose woefully because he is not a good politician even though he was excellent in governance.

Tinubu will be more than happy to square up with him to divide the votes of the opposition just like Obi did in 2023!

Peter Obi won the highest number of votes cast in 2023 Presidential election, he did not divide any vote for Tinubu, he won but got rigged out by APC ruling government through INEC.


Obi won Tinubu in Lagos with over a million votes before the margin got drastically reduced to give Tinubu an edge.


Obi won Rivers state with over 700k votes before Nyesome Wike changed the whole result in favour of Tinubu.


Peter Obi won Tinubu in Benue with over 300k votes before INEC did their wonders.


Same thing happened in other states of Nigeria.


When it comes to who won the highest number of votes cast in 2023, Peter Obi won, but what I cannot say is if he did get the required national spread, and if INEC had remained neutral, we would have known.



Tinubu never won 2023 Presidential election, you can quote me anywhere, anyday

Some people don't really care about good and able leadership, they just want their person to be in power. Jonathan was a terrible president


So we thought, Jonathan was terrible until Apc showed us real terrible, with Buhari we thought thats the height of Terrible But Tinubu as taking terrible to skyscrapper is like each new trial takes redefine Terrible

Since they have chosen to be terrible, Jonathan terrible we know already thats preferrable ... instead of wasting another 4yrs of our life with Tinubu it is kuku better to waste it with jonathan .. @least freedom of speech and rule of law go dey

He should retire.
6 years was enough for GEJ to have made his mark on the history book, instead he chose to be a pussy.
He is still the same pussy. A coward who runs from his fellow man.
He won't do anything different from what he did for 6 years when he was there
Just like people expected the strict illitrate slowpoke buhari to be a Democrat or the senile drug gang criminal Tinibu to be honest

There's a new law that forbids Jonathan (people who have served as VP) from running for that office again. Those who want him to run again don't understand what's happening in their country.

GEJ doesn't have the skill and balls to take on druggie. The political landscape in Nigeria is primed for folks like druggie to flourish politically. GEJ doesn't have that level of corruption and violence in him to successfully wrestle power from druggie and his cronies

If GEJ comes out , it’s over for tinubu, he can’t win no mater the rigging

He will only help ebilokan extend his turn to continue APC shege that was fraudulently packaged as change in the 2015 sacking of Jonathan and PDP’s productivity and prosperity istration.

The same way that Peter Obi helped the Lagos master planner in 2023.

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s ers, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
