Yes! My first calculation was to vote Obi even though I know he is not going to win as a form of protest and also washing my hands off Naija politics matter and have my conscience clear that l was not responsible for bringing in a rogue into Aso Rock.

On the emergence of Tinubu as APCs flag bearer and the antecedence of the APC, I realize a critical situation is reached and a crucial and objective decision needs to be made. We have a situation where Obi will weaken the PDP and still not win. He will not win because he is only popular amongst educated and upward thinking people who are not a quarter of the rest of the masses up north and even the south in population and a vote for Obi is only a 'statement vote'. It's important in the scheme of things but then catastrophic for the Opportunity Cost of having an APC president who fields an El Rufai for instance. This is the crux of the matter, its Tinubu or Atiku and Obi will make one win directly or indirectly.

My grouse with Atiku is not himself per se because I feel he had been labeled a thief and perceived negatively for a long time which had been his bane in becoming the president and I feel he will like to prove a lot of people wrong. It's the thieves that will follow him to Aso Rock. I feel an iron hand is needed at Aso Rock. Someone who can fire a minister on the spot, order a proper procurement process and such. No soft hand can handle Nigeria and Nigerians, only someone who is stubborn and resolute!

That's where Wike comes in. Wike's strength is fearlessness, project execution, tenacity and even integrity, yes, integrity. If you studied the extent of what the Salafists, Fulani bandits, Buhari and his cabal and so on have gone into the marrow of the country, a Wike is the best man for the job. There is something about body language and persona. With his no-nonsense carriage, you want to ask who will send shivers down the spine of these guys and even the Service Chiefs, Wike or Obi? Wike had demonstrated he can take up a General if found wanting.

This is beyond sentiment and emotions. You only need Obi where the system works. With the collapsed systems and institutions we have in Nigeria coupled with gross corruption and indiscipline, I do not want to believe you want to send in someone with a soft voice holding carrots. Obasanjo even recommended a mad man. Sitting down, Obasanjo saw what our Twitter friends couldn't see from a tree top, and to hell with Wike's sins for I cannot find the perfect politician even in Obi. Obi's perfection is even his bane so long as it is Nigeria he is given as homework.

If you have a logical view, feel free to state yours based on my analysis of the matter before us all. I am not responding to emotional, tribal or religious outbursts, only logic. So be guided please. Our Elders, over to you.

No soft hand can handle Nigeria ??

The Iron-bender we entrusted the nation to in 2015 has all but disintegrated its unity with eight years of non-stop bloodbath from his kinsmen!

It’s like suffer never tire you yet.

Obi will weaken only PDP votes? Are there no young educated people from the SW that are tired of old wine in trembling skin??

All dis kind of 'sophisticated' analysis is what brought in the incompetent, tone deaf, Mr. Never Aware, so the choice for 'unsophisticated' moi is very clear. A vote for Obi is a message that Nigeria does not belong to a few parasites feeding fat on our treasury but everyone!

Instead of Tinubu to become president, Obi will be sacrificed.

Now you are talking

I'm fully OBIdient. I'll rather vote for Tinubu than voting for Atiku. Never!

Anyways, my precious vote is for Peter Obi.

what is vice president..you guys are acting as slaves they called you . Even osibanjo with the title of vice president managed to come out 3rd position in just concluded APC election.
I have said it severally here, vice president doesn't have weight in governance and relevance in Nigeria politics and development. wike as a governor is more vibrant than VP. Peter obi as a president will benefit us more than wike as a VP to atiku.

Wike will be pocketed by Atiku as VP and the Fulani terrorists baggage will be so exploited by Lagos-Ibadan media.

Expect more of Attacks attributed to Herdsmen in the coming weeks and months.

Thiefnibu is known to be a very very dirty player.

Aswear. Factttttt

If not for Tinubus present health predicaments no politician in this country can rob shoulder with him or boast of having the ideology of turning things around for the better. Tinubu has it all but unfortunately health wise am not in support of him. But God forbids Atiku ruling Nigeria. He is a Lucifer to be avoided in all ramifications

And you think Peter Obi will get votes outside SE, if at all?

You better look for a plan “B” for the sake of reality.

Deep down, most want Peter Obi, but he will LOSE and be defeated WOEFULLY even without rigging.

The reality on ground is Tinubu vs Atiku.

No other choices.

The first person to make VP relevant is Buhari if not who will see Osinbajo?

If Obi has the country at heart, I will advise he even rejoin the PDP and drop his ambition. Crazy at it sounds, he would have stirred the causative forces in his favor for now and the future. The others have been trying years ahead of him and have invested more than him. Life rewards your efforts and actions, not your wishes.

This is if tribalism and hunger for power is not his motivation because he can still work the good work in the PDP after all, he was in the PDP and he didn't see the "corruption" until when things didn't go his way. The Labour Party too is still grappling with a corruption case in court so what's the excuse?

I guess he won't because he feels until he is president, that's when he will work the good work, but is that true? that every Nigerian must be president in order to play their role in salvaging the country? I sense a hunger for power here.

Peter obi will win noth only SE , also SS. get that into your head. christain north will vote for him too. alot of Southerners living in West will also vote for him .

No matter the permutation, Wike is useless to Atiku except for the purpose of pulling resources together.

That said,
Peter Obi's supporters have moved. They are only concerned with who'd become Obi's running mate.

Very correct!✅

If Atiku pick Wike, e don win o
That is a very potent combo. Northerners like Wike for his patriotism even if he is loquacious(an added advantage)

Meanwhile badluck is still following Peter Obi around.

I agree wholeheartedly with the @op.
Wike is a game changer. PDP would win all the SS states. Nothing for Obi.

You said "obi will be fitted where the system works"

So plz educate me where woke has repaired a damaged system...

Remember obi revolutionized his state skls and particularly it's transfer to religious. Bodies without much increase in skl fees... Making the students still stay in their old skls,.


HV u ever thought about how woke will handle ASUU...? Or u think it's all about fight...leme tell u, those Don's don't have weapons but na you go tire ND the students will regroup ND vote u out..

Have thought about huge leakages in the financial sytem of the FG..? Bloated salaries to politicians..wike will fight to reduce political wages..? Ur dreaming!

Do u know strategies that are well thought out ND effective is a far better solution to conflict than battles as u project wike to fight..?


Do u know that since ND proper utilization of naija resources could change your life..?

Guy life isn't all about muscle, if not men would never ever lose in a break up with tiny girls wen relationship fall apart....ye they are tiny ND not strong, but in quietness they show real strength....


Nobody will beat you here if u say, I will vote woke cuz he is my tribe...we know u are Nigerian ND most ppl from this country vote on ethnic ground...trust me, u are not modern at all...u still live in the past..m

The "Iron Bender" was known to be operated via proxies even from the olden days. This one is self-operated and that's a huge difference, besides the Atiku/Wike setup is 'Smooth Operator/Iron Bender' one. That sounds like a balance.

I need to remind you that Mr "Iron Bender" does not have the youthful age and health to his advantage.

Peter obi or nothing

Whether anybody like it or not the truth remain obi is a good candidate but it's a stupid hope to think obi can come second under Labour Party even if the entire South East and South south vote for him he will not win the general election though I hate Tinubu and I dont support Atiku but Atiku look more healthy than the man of the pee poo and I dont think I can ever forgive Tinubu for bringing this disaster called buhari upon Nigeria in 2015 Atiku seems to know what is he going there to do while the only reason Tinubu has been telling us is that he want to be Nigeria president because its his turn as if Nigeria presidency is his father's inheritance

buhari as of third time contestant had lost to Southern candidates. most north Central christains always follow the South East and South South. go and check the history of election since 99. what obi needs is northern christains to votes.

Buhari is a weakling. Obi is a joke. He has nothing to say apart from trying to appear humble. Wike or Tinubu being in Aso means Fulani bandits running back to Mali or wherever they scurried out from

I know all of this sir and l am not disputing your points. The point is that Obi will not win and we both know this. He will be voted, yes. These votes will only enable APC win by weakening the PDP. This is the main point of my analysis. Obi is good.

Going by your logic I think there's a gross misjudgment on Peter Obi's person.

I will explain it this way.. .

Who could ever think that a PYO could reshuffle his Pricincipal's cabinet or refuse endorsing some projects in his absence? As soft as he appears, he took the decision to the surprise of many.

Again, Buhari was perceived to be a tough, no-nonsense and brutal leader, given his 1984 stunts. What did we see 3 decades later?

Atiku that is widely perceived as a thief (even the most sincere individuals became corrupted by the system, ask some governors from Plateau state), was constantly a thorn in his principal's flesh, even openly kicking against his 3rd term ambition.

Using Atiku's case above, I will liken Wike to Obasanjo this way:

After Atiku's fallout with Obasanjo, when he apparently became the stumbling block to Obasanjo's ambition, Obasanjo spent the next decade demarketing, debasing and defaming him, only to endorse him later.
It was the same Obasanjo that endorsed Buhari initially, only to turn against him later.

Wike was Amaechi's close pal. But when Amaechi became the stumbling block to his ambition of becoming governor, he teamed up with the Ijaws, Amaechi's perceived enemies at the time, to actualize his ambition. Only recently, he stood on a very sacred altar to verbally attack the Ijaw.

All these don't really bother me because that's part of the dirt in politics. My true concern is suggesting a Muslim-Muslim ticket. How you know something is not right but you are willing to compromise. This is our major problem.

Also, we know someone is a thief but we sing his praise just because we think it takes a thief to catch other thieves or stop other thieves from stealing. A smart thief will keep stealing, he will just be a violent thief (Abacha comes to mind).

It's high time we stopped voting people with bad public records into public offices. If we keep doing this, one day we will have a system producing only good leaders. Eventually, we will have the country that we all crave for.
