I think Peter Obi should stop granting interviews for now. His recent appearance with Oseni Rufai was, in my view, a complete mess. It did not project confidence or preparedness. Instead, it gave the impression of someone eager to become president but struggling to clearly communicate a convincing plan.
BREAKING: NDC has introduced a strict anti-defection policy mandating all its candidates for elective offices to sign indemnity and affidavit forms, committing to vacate their seats if they defect from the party after winning elections.
By implication, any NDC candidate that wins election in 2027 and decides to leave the party will forfeit the seat they won.
This policy also affects NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi and the party's vice presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso.

I heard from the social media that ADC has picked its vice presidential candidate from the South-South. If this is true, it is unfortunate, as this will continue the crude marginalisation of the South-East.
This Geo-Political Zone has neither produced a President or Vice President since 1999. To deny the South-East the opportunity to produce the President or Vice President in ADC in 2027 will amount to perpetuating the marginalisation.
The ADC was founded by Ralphs Nwosu from the South-East in 2005. He made the sacrifice to give up the party in 2025 for the coalition to usher in a better Nigeria. He couldn't have made that sacrifice to marginalise his own people.
I did not join the coalition to assist in the further marginalisation of my own people. I am of the opinion that if we made a sacrifice to give up the National Chairman and the President, it will amount to unpardonable injustice to deny us the Vice President in 2027.
I joined politics to fight for a better Nigeria where no region, Geo-Political Zone, or person will be marginalised.
The only favour I asked Atiku Abubakar, who openly declared that he is the pathway to the presidency of the South-East, is to show it by choosing someone from the South-East to be his Vice.
If it is confirmed that he has chosen a candidate from the South-South, I wish him well. I am not favourably disposed to campaigning for any presidential ticket that does not have a person of South-East origin as President or Vice in 2027.
