@toluogunlesi I am ready to "reason" with you on this.
#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices is not about the people in them. It is about how they act.
1) APC & PDP have competent candidates in their parties but they always choose the worst to give tickets to.
Tinubu & Atiku are egs
You will agree with me that Atiku and Tinubu are not the most competent in both PDP and APC but they emerged with the party tickets.
That's why we say #APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
2)Both APC and PDP have shown and demonstrated it is all about how much money you have and not about your competence, character and capacity when it comes to clinching their ticket.
#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
3) APC and PDP have demonstrated that they have no regards for the youth in their parties. They only use them for e-thuggery.
@ose_anenih and @BashirAhmaad are perfect examples.
4) Both APC and PDP have shown they have no regards for women in office.
Although we can say PDP gave more women appointment while APC have given gubernatorial ticket twice to women
#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
5) PDP in power deployed e-thugs to attack critics and APC when they got into power did the same.

#VoteCandidateInsteadOfParty
6) PDP in power shot and killed protesters during Occupy Nigeria and APC when they got into power did the same. They shot protesters at Lekki Toll Gate #APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
7) PDP in power denied #ChibokGirls abduction and APC in power denied the killings at Lekki Toll Gate
#VoteCandidateInsteadOfParty
8) When PDP was in power the National Assembly was attacked by police. When APC was got into power the National Assembly was attacked by DSS though the Acting President then sacked the head of DSS
#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
9) When PDP was in power thugs were brought in government buses to attack #BringBackOurGirls members. When APC got into power they used police vans to transport thugs to attack #EndSars protesters
#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
10) When PDP were in power they started militarization of election in Ekiti 2014. When APC got into power they continued the militarization of election in Ekiti 2018.
#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
11) When PDP were in office they attacked journalists and made some go into exile. When APC got into office they attacked journalists and sent some into exile too
#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
When PDP was in government terrorists will attack and the government will not say a word. When APC got into office terrorists will attack and government will not say a word

#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
When PDP was in power monies meant to fight insecurity were diverted. When APC got into office monies meant to fight insecurity were also diverted.
#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
When PDP was in office Soldiers wrote to Jonathan complaining of their plight and when APC got into office soldiers also wrote to Buhari complaining.
NOTHING WAS DONE!
#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
PDP seized citizens passport at the airport ( Dr Oby). APC did the same (Moe)
#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
Jonathan while PDP was in office sacked Appeal Court President. Buhari in office under APC sacked CJN
#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
PDP wasted money and refused to save during oil boom. APC has done same
#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices

PDP attacked media, APC attacked media

#APCandPDPSamePartyWithTwoOffices
@toluogunlesi these are some of the reasons we say APC and PDP are the same.
It is not because of their initials or the people. It is because of their mode of operation. They have repeatedly shown they don't have the capacity to change their ways and the people have believe them

Presidential campaign is EXPENSIVE! It needs billions! Can we raise 100 billion?

Can Peter Obi @PeterObi set up an account, Gofundme, mobile payment for donations to start?
There must be stringent measures to ensure accountability and transparency

#100BillionForPOCampaign
The biggest factor the average politician has is either money or access to money. I believe with Peter Obi the people have to contribute that money. There is no State money that Peter Obi will be dependent on or even state machinery.

#100BillionForPOCampaign
There is no time. Plans should be in high gear now. Other candidates have luxury of time. Peter Obi doesn't and so things should be in high motion.

Dear Citizens,
Getting good governance, accountability and transparency is about ensuring excuses are not made for anyone and no justification of things to suit a narrative.
We must question even ourselves!
The excuse that many Nigerians think that way is never a good reason!
Many Nigerians are not on the ballot paper. Many Nigerians are not asking you to vote for them. Neither are many Nigerians going to hold sensitive positions.
The excuse of using someone's religion is also not justifiable.
Nigeria is a secular state. There are different religions and even those with no religion.
One person's religious injunctions is not another person's religious injunctions

I walked into the Eid ground an extremely sad person. For the first time ever I was alone going to the female section
No daughter, no sisters, no in-laws, no nieces, no mother, no mother-in-law. We sometimes used to use two vehicles to go to Eid.
The insecurity is taking its toll
As the first child I have played the role of not just sibling but parent to all my siblings and my house is a rallying centre. Holidays, sallahs etc the house is filled with people. My children had the best of extended family. The house was always filled.
Now people can't travel.
I have had the honour and privilege of being that rich Aunt to my nieces and nephews. Alhamdulillah!
They come to visit and I ensure that I give them the best of times.
Now they can't come over.

Dear Nigerian Youth
They are doing the same thing they did during #EndSars, put you on the defensive! Just like they started accusing the protesters of the violence they instigated
You are not responsible for any supposed Peter Obi supporter attacking anyone.
Focus on campaign!
The strategy is to keep you explaining yourself and distracted while you lose ground on the momentum that is building.
Anyone telling you that they will not support Peter Obi because of abusive online supporters is not worth wasting time on.
Meet those who are undecided and open
The establishment is absolutely afraid of you. They have seen the fact that you are taking back your power and that scares them. They will do anything. Be prepared for more!
They will even pitch you against each other and cause mayhem.
Just stay focused!

Read this thread and you will know that many Nigerians do not want to be citizens. They just want to be slaves with PRIVILEGES! They are looking for emperor by all means!
I totally agree with @adeyanjudeji !
@PeterObi has more business being in Ekiti than Egypt!
This is time for campaign! While campaigning for others you are campaigning for yourself. This is the time of building that structure of the people. Get a hold on the party!
The worst thing that can happen to a politician is to assume that all is 'easy peasy' but it is not!
@PeterObi winning the 2023 election is possible but it needs not just every hand on deck but also every single time from now till the date of election
Just being in Ekiti and meeting the people there and being in the campaign of another will accelerate the structural growth!

Imagine if IPOB work with APGA to control the political power in the South East? Bring the best candidates to be nominated. Show the rest of us how people with competence, character and capacity in leadership position can change a region.
Use the power to negotiate at Fed level
An APGA/IPOB alliance can bring the South East together politically. Instead of IPOB wasting it's goodwill on giving sit at home orders they can make it nominate and vote credible candidates "order"

Political power is everything!
Without it you are a pawn to be treated anyhow
With that power you can negotiate with any party wanting to win Presidential elections and give the terms for your alliance. Any party interested in winning the region must be ready to meet your terms.
That way no party takes the region for granted as belonging to one party.
