Did Buhari win 2015 election with any structure on ground. Are you not in Nigeria when #EndSARS started without structure. My friend leave your wrong permutation and face your calling. The masses that were tired of Jonathan\u2019s regime will do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Solomon Delkes said, \u201cThose who are afraid of risk never become successful. I\u2019m willing to take the risk with Peter Obi. Let the heavens fall, I\u2019ll fall with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Chinanu Ikpeatusim stressed that, \u201cJust for the sake of talking. The 2023 elections will be full of surprises. I\u2019m #Obidient is a movement that will sweep across the nation. People should inform the pastor and his likes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Cee Jay, \u201cAm sorry that this is coming from someone who claimed to be a pastor. Pastors are known for promoting good characters and supporting good people. If a pastor does believe the possibilities of god, something is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Aondoungwa tweeted that \u201cOga pastor, have you finish preaching to your church and who are you to prophecy who\u2019s going to win\/no win? Pls focus on ur Bible study so that on Sunday you will preach well ok.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel Akwaja: \u201cThis guy doesn\u2019t mean well for this country, is clueless as to political dynamics in an evolving system, isn\u2019t even bothered by the battered economy and polity of a Nigeria held hostage by corrupt political behemoths. Sad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sylvester Paul said, \u201cPeter Obi is a movement. Some people wants to make name by saying something about him that may trend. Who is Pastor Giwa in the first place?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eze Chukwu: \u201cEveryone is attacking Obi. Is he the only presidential candidate? Why are they scared of Obi? Why is Obi giving them sleepless night? It all points to the fact Obi is coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Akin Adediran said: \u201cI don\u2019t know why he bothers himself on the matter. Is Peter Obi movement threatening somebody? It will shock you all? Better repent and join so you can be among those who used their votes to change the course this nation for good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also, Ikoru Frank-Briggs said, \u201cBuhari was brought to power by online people 2015. He had contested for about 3 times with no success. This same online you called made him win. The northerner votes was not enough to bring in 2003 and 2007. We have our PVC and we will vote Peter Obi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile some tweeter users differed on the situation with Dee Jaya, saying that \u201cHe might be right because votes do not count in my country, it\u2019s all about power and money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also, Abdulmumini Dauda said, \u201cConfirmed that\u2019s true and most of his fans on Twitter doesn\u2019t have PVC, Obi isn\u2019t competent man, he\u2019s tribalistic and he\u2019s also weak, he can\u2019t beat Atiku or Tinubu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dike Obiajulu: \u201cI like this comment, it\u2019s a welcome challenge to the youths.
