While people like Bobloco and dmerciful are wailing online, politicians elected on the platform of LP are defecting to APC daily. May we never like in vain like them. Even the Pope couldnt resist associating with Tinubu despite all the propaganda against him.

was there anyone that attended the inauguration that the pope resisted?

what was the attention the pope gave to tinubu that he didnt give anybody or that he has never given to anybody?

was it more than a handshake?

does it make sense to invite people to your inauguration and not to courteously welcome them?

how did the handshake between the pope and tinubu move nigeria forward?

what does nigeria have to show for the 10years under APC istration?

Even Peter Obi is already negotiating his way into APC. LP or whatever you guys call that party of confused folks is dead and buried in the cold grave.

Is that how every promise to change our lives for better by APC is equally dead and buried in the cold grave of extreme poverty, unemployment, underemployment, inflation, insecurity, corruption etc?

Any idea how the change promised has turned into shege, after ebilokan packaged Buhari to make Jonathan a one term president (OTP)? A northerner that he called expired in 2011 to replace a performing southerner. shocked

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

It's obvious that PO is a package for the gullible else why is he not trying to do something about this LP implosion. Even if he is seen constantly being vocal about this stuffs, ppl we still keep on believing in him as a fighter, but alas he can't cos na so so jump jump from one party to another be his stock in trade.

His influence in LP ain't organic, and the late Doyin Okupe was being sincere when he called LP a SPV, but obidunces came for his head cos he dared to say the truth. Na their him tu lie master dem like as he dey give dem lamba.

Was it a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to divide the votes of PDP after wicked ologogoro Wike frustrated Peter Obi out of PDP

2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

A large crowd of Lagosians was filmed in a long queue struggling to collect a loaf of bread. To maintain order, several military personnel were on the ground to control the crowd. This has triggered a lot of reactions online.

Another betrayal and selfish man spotted.He has behaved like typical Nigerian politicians.They lack principles, character,confidence and sincerity.They don't care about those who elected them through the platform they just dumped.Nigerians should be wise this time.Any politician who has dumped the political platform he was elected and moved to another should not be considered as a good leader and shouldn't be reelected.In fact,the people should stone him whenever he comes back to them to seek reelection.By so doing we will a great message to them to let them know that we have dumped the old order where we allowed them to use our heads for their own selfish ends.Help me spread this message and be blessed as you do.

Is he also going to lose his seat or that’s only applicable to Rivers state alone? grin
He will loose that seat during the elections if Peter Obi contests under LP. People in the East will just be thumb printing for LP blindly on every position without giving a damn who is who. That's how most of these LP senators and HOR won the election, that's how ab okada man won at Benue and the very reason why Banky lost his seat in Lagos state even though people loved him. In my polling unit at Riverside estate, Ajah, everyone was casting their votes for LP on every ballot paper. It was after the votes have been counted that we all realised that we have voted out Banky. This happened across all polling unit from what I gathered.
This Cyracus guy is not smart at all in decamping to APC in ENUGU unless he has other motives, but if he did this in order to retain his seat then he has lost already. It would have been better if he went to APGA than APC.

how has "the party wey sabi road" led nigeria in the last 10years?

is nigeria better off under "the party wey sabi road" or is nigeria now worse off than ever before?

They dont want to hear this, the online bandits don't care as far as their monthly stipends are coming.
They said is called Politics but when I look at the westerners and how they do their own Politics where by the needs of the masses are the first to think of , begins to weigh me down how Nigeria will ever grow...

Very well said, as Lagos State belongs to APC so is Anambra State belonging to APGA or LP due to influence of Peter Obi alone...

I guess the young man has followed the slogan of grab it, steal it and run with it , then come to APC and hide ....

PO being frustrated out of PDP should be enough sign for you to know that dude is too weak to rule naija. Talk is and has always been cheap, it's actions that matters. If truly Atiku had the intent to leave the position for a southerner, then whoever gets the PDP ticket should not be a concern to him as long as it's a southerner. All these arguments from the camp of Atiku about Wike derailing the SE chance is a weak line, he could have withdrawn from the race and given PO all his but we all know how desperate and insincere Atiku is..... and mind you, I don't believe PO would have been able to win Wike in the PDP primaries. Atiku was the only person and as a politician, he took advantage of the disagreement in the the southern camp

I am holding my self from saying I regret being born in this country because of the above comments. I believe they are from people of a particular region. Instead of us to hold our politicians able and demand good governance, some unreasonable clowns are celebrating the mass exodus of corrupt politicians to another corrupt party. I wonder what is their problem here? Is it illiteracy or tribal bigotry 🤔

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

So despite all these diatribe and tirades by ipobidients, people are not defecting to Labour Party? And on the contrary, they rather defect from the party to APC.

From the way things are going, Labour Party will soon go into extinction. E be like na wetin Peter Obi want go tidy up with Tinubu for Italy be dat.

Because from the picture below, it seems Peter Obi has been begging Fayemi to introduce him to Tinubu, which seems to be playing out right now.

Labour Party is so weak right now
