The both of them individually do not have the clout. Infact we dey laugh this ticket.
I know it won’t pull above 4m votes on Election day.
Una nor kuku get governors to help una rig again.
The Atiku/Amaechi ticket has not been officially confirmed, but the panic around the mere possibility is already telling.
Some people are asking whether Rotimi Amaechi has “stooped” to become running mate. That is the wrong way to look at politics. Leadership is not about ego. It is about timing, sacrifice, calculation, and national interest.
If Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi eventually emerge on one ticket, it will not be a small political development. It will be one of the most experienced combinations in Nigeria’s democratic journey.
Atiku brings economic experience, national reach, private-sector understanding, and decades of political negotiation. Amaechi brings executive experience, grassroots toughness, South-South political weight, former governors’ network, federal exposure, and the courage to stand in difficult political battles.
That is not “stooping.” That is strategy.
Politics is not comedy. It is not about who shouted during an interview or who sounded angry before cameras. Serious politicians understand that personal emotion must sometimes give way to national rescue. Nigeria is in a deep hole. Hunger is real. Insecurity is real. Businesses are collapsing. Young people are tired. Families are under pressure. This is not the time for childish pride.
A strong opposition ticket must do three things: unite the country, challenge APC’s structure, and present a serious alternative to the hardship Nigerians are facing. An Atiku/Amaechi ticket, if confirmed, has the capacity to do exactly that.
Those laughing today know why they are nervous. They know such a ticket would speak to the North, the South-South, the business community, the political class, and ordinary Nigerians who simply want competence back in government.
Until it is officially announced, let us treat it as speculation. But one thing is clear: the fear of that possibility alone has already entered the room.
You could literally be
Former SEC chairman
Former chairman of multiple banks
Former bank Director
And someone with less than 10 years of work experience will come online to say she's not impressed on your thoughts towards the economy and fiscal policy😂😂😂
Theo Abu came up on a space I attended two days ago and said:
"..no presidential candidate can say they will curb insecurity ... anyone including Obi who says so is lying or just trying to get votes..."
That's the Media person representing NDC and by extension Peter Obi.
@TheoAbuAgada you are a misfit for that role

We need more wards in Obodo-Omadino Ward I, INEC should divide it into 6 wards, if not we'll disturb operations at NNPC Gas Company

Last night, I had an interview with Arise TV, where I sympathised with our aspirants over some noticeable irregularities in our just-concluded primaries.
I noted that, while not claiming that the exercise was perfect, I urged all of them to bear with the party in view of the circumstances we are managing, which have overwhelmed even bigger parties. This includes parties with a sitting President, 33 Governors, and control of political structures in most states, in the case of the APC, and even the ADC, which is over two years old.
I made the case that we are just four months old and have been thrown into the middle of a very tight electoral timeframe, within which we had to carry out membership registration, congresses up to the national convention, primaries up to the national convention, appeal processes, and now the reconciliation phase.
I identified the root cause of these challenges, my views on the Electoral Act have been clear: the APC-led majority were wrong in foisting compulsory direct primaries on political parties and the country. Complaints about irregularities in direct primaries are pervasive across all parties and are not peculiar to the NDC.
As a matter of fact, considering the age of the NDC and the teeming number of aspirants we have had to manage, we have done quite well. For months since the formation of the NDC, I have been building confidence and receiving respected politicians into its fold. Since the primaries I have been attending to people and managing disagreements across the country on a daily basis.
The NDC is on the ascendancy, and I thank Nigerians for their trust and confidence in our party. Even these challenges, which are not peculiar to us, will pass.
I also noted that no party has announced any set of winners from its primaries, and neither has the NDC. The public should disregard any such claims in circulation, especially on social media, and await the party's formal submissions through the appropriate channels. The results of party primaries are not announced like school results; they are communicated through formal channels.
I thank all our members for their abiding support. In anticipation of these challenges, the 2nd NEC meeting, held a few days ago, approved the composition of a Reconciliation Committee to work with state caucus leaders and other stakeholders in managing grievances.
As I have stated before, this is our first set of primaries, and it will also be the last to be conducted manually. The next primaries will be technologically driven and will have none of these issues.
I thank all supporters of our party, which has no government officials and is entirely self-funded. I appreciate their donations, contributions, and sacrifices made on behalf of the party. They remain valuable members of our party regardless of the outcome of the primaries.
We are in this together, and we are all committed to ensuring the success of our party and our presidential team, their Excellencies Peter Obi and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who are my colleagues in this project.
This success must be managed carefully, with everyone working together. I advise all members and supporters to avoid meaningless quarrels and infighting. Everyone should support our candidates, from the Presidency down to the least elective office.
I urge all the stakeholders, caucus leaders and other leaders in various states who coordinated the primaries to take responsibility and step up their game in terms of coordiating the reconciliation process. Most of the candidates are persons backed and recommended by them, and not me nor the national leadership of the party. It is not a time to shift blames or dodge responsibilities. Since they midwifed and managed the process of the primaries, they should equally help in supporting the party in coordinating the reconciliation process, of which they have the support of the party.

Insensitive appointments.
But that’s not the hurtful part.
Theo as a person is not capable of critical thinking. Infact, he thinks and acts like a zombie.
Brian has come correct overtime but Theo is a Reno Omokri wannabe.
In short, he is a fool.
Did you not do your background checks?

Peter Obi says there should be no Office of the First Lady because “my wife didn’t contest any election” and that when he was governor, they simply lived in the same house.
Yet records from the 2008 and 2009 budgets of the Governor’s Office reportedly show personnel allocations under “Her Excellency,” including provisions for personal assistants.
So who exactly was “Her Excellency,” and why were staff attached to that office if no such structure existed?
Peter Obi is "the head of criminality"... Kenneth oknowkwo
He further alleges that individuals involved in the party's primary process brought their grievances to him. #Peterobi#atruthatatime#kennethokonkwo#NDC
Federal Government contractor, Thomas Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo), has ordered his men to block waterways, companies, and even territories he does not own.
This constitutes a clear act of aggression and economic sabotage. We urge the Federal Government to immediately call him to order and prevent a return to the dark days of 1998–2003.
We are not afraid of him.
Earlier today, Itsekiri youths from Ugborodo carried out a security patrol across all facilities in their territory to prevent trespassing by Tompolo’s thugs.
The youths moved swiftly to secure their lands and installations, sending a clear message that any unauthorized entry will not be tolerated.
