Nigerians react as Atiku speaks on coalition

@DanielRegha

"Victory is assured when we stand united".
In a country that's multi-religious, you, Atiku, didn't condemn religious intolerance over the death of Deborah. Let's not forget that."

@Nedumcity_

"Arsenal utilised the strength of its young players. The elderly watched and advised the younger players while the game was on. It’s time to leave the stage for the younger ones sir. Peter Obi is our Saka and we trust him wholeheartedly. You’re our Arteta and we trust you in that position. Coach us well well and become leader of the party."

@MrEnugu1

But Arsenal are with plenty young players...Dear Sir, it is good the coalition work with young, energetic and dynamic personality of Peter Obi , while you give a statesman support from the background.

Come 2027, you no go smell even third place.
You have shown your colours through the little religious craziness from Nigerians.

@Hericfash2029

Alhaji stop deceiving yourself. Be reasonable sir and safe Nigeria.
Anything you are building without @PeterObi as the presidential candidate will fail.
You know this, your supporters know this but they won’t tell you because all they want is your money.
Don’t make Tinubu sit in France and win 2027 election.
