EBUKA 💧💧

I have tried not to get involved in this Tanko issue, but some of us have to speak. Some of us have been speaking from the very first day. Valentine gave his all to the Obidient ticket. All he asked for was fair play. He wanted to contest for governor, and he is very competent. How did Obi pay him back? Valentine couldn't go to the PDP because it was having issues at the time, so he went to a more popular party, the APC, and he was rubbished. Go and check all of Obi's former spokespersons, they have all left. That's why we say you can't find up to seven commissioners who served under Obi standing with him today. This is not how to run a political organization. When we said Obi thinks more about himself, people said we were just being difficult. It is the reality. What about the Labour Party governorship candidate Obi dissed Valentine for? Since the Anambra governorship election, I haven't seen him around Obi or supporting him. For me, it's a leadership issue. Morris came out to say he spent about forty million of his own money and that Obi wasn't even holding meetings with them. Now Serah has left, Jack has left, even Nana Usman has left. You can mention many prominent names. Not everybody can be bad. People have a right to their ambitions, and let's not lie about it. Obi is not the sole custodian of a good Nigeria, and he is not the only person who can give good governance. As a leader, you build your own army: people you can instil your values in and trust with positions. When they moved to the ADC, how many of his core lieutenants got tickets? You would assume that party shouldn't have been a problem, because it wasn't crowded with interests. It was just him, Kwankwaso and Dickson. Yet he still couldn't organize his own troops. You didn't hear any complaints from Kwankwaso's side. All the noise about party tickets came from Peter Obi's side. I have also spoken about our experience with Peter in the PDP. After serving as Atiku's vice presidential candidate, he automatically assumed the role of party leader. Go and ask Anambra PDP people what his leadership style was like. People say everything is about money: "When you talk, it's money." I just laugh. We say these things because some of us have facts. I've been accused of being sent out with his money, Tanko's money. But mention all the people who have left. Is that money too? If they were going to the APC, I could understand. But Balami? We know how much of his own resources Balami spent. Is that money too? If all your lieutenants have left and everyone's explanation is money, there is a fundamental issue. Obi is an adult and can do whatever he wants. I just hope the Southeast opens its eyes and understands the political terrain that will play out in 2027. When we talk, they say it's because he refused to become Atiku's vice. But if Atiku becomes president, or Tinubu does, and Peter Obi becomes vice, is my name going to be on it? Why can't people see that? It's his name, not mine. Most of the people who engineered his exit from the ADC have now left him. That's the sad reality of life. When we said your best shot was to be in a party with traction, people felt we had insulted them. That's fine. I'm sure more people will insult me for mentioning his name. To them, Peter is their Jesus Christ, their God, and you can't mention his name. But these are the fundamental flaws we see and speak about. What makes me happy is that this will end in 2027. Whether he wins or not, it will end, and the Southeast needs to move on. We need pragmatic leaders who understand the times. I don't think Peter understands the times. Those who keep deluding themselves that Peter Obi is sending people to other parties should know that people are leaving because they are unhappy with him. Read the room: in his speech today, he thanked Sen Dickson. I don't think he thanked Peter Obi. That should tell you something.

If I'm Peter Obi, at this point I will just step down as a presidential candidate. Tinubu don borrow all our money finish

People are actually defending this government. God abeg! This is just first term. Tinubu will kill us in his 2nd term. Even the garri you're drinking, you won't be able to afford it. Don't let anyone quote figures for you, if the economic policy of the country does not make your life easier, the government has failed woefully. The only way to assess that a government is working, is that your own life is easier.

This reminds me of a 45 year old man I met when I was in 300L. He was desperately ready to get married, but I couldn’t imagine myself marrying a man that age, so I introduced him to my coursemate, who was a single mother of four. Guess what? They are happily married today. She told him upfront that she wasn’t interested in having more children, and he agreed. Today, all four children bear his name. But here’s the part that will annoy some people: She was a single mother of four, yet she didn’t negotiate her standards to make a man choose her. She didn’t beg him to accept her situation, promise him more children to secure a marriage or pretend to be someone she wasn’t. He knew exactly what he was signing up for, and he married her anyway. Some of you need to understand that being a single mother doesn’t mean a woman should abandon her standards or accept whatever comes her way. A woman can have four children and still refuse to settle for less. Deal with it.
