Do You Know Tinubu Has Never Supported A Southern President? by IamAtikulate: 3:54pm On Jul 31, 2022
Do you Tinubu has never supported any Southern-backed candidate since this 4th republic?

E shock you abi?


In 1999, the South wanted OBJ, Tinubu supported for Falae

In 2007, the South wanted Yar'Adua and GEJ (the first time a southern minority will enter the presidency), Tinubu gave Atiku a platform.

In 2010, Tinubu ACN senators went to court to stop the national assembly from making GEJ the acting president.

Just Google it.

In 2011, the South wanted GEJ, most Tinubu supported Ribadu.

In 2011, the South wanted a Yoruba Speaker, Tinubu supported Tambuwal

In 2015, the South wanted GEJ, Tinubu supported Buhari, an incompetent man over his Southern brother.

In 2019, the South wanted Atiku, a better alternative to Buhari misrule, Tinubu again supported Buhari against Atiku

In 2022, the South wanted Osinbanjo or Ameachi as APC candidate, Tinubu forced himself on the South

Now, a Tinubu who has never supported a Southern president since the start of this democracy is asking the South to support him to continue from where Buhari stopped.

Laughable.

The south west wanted Falae in 1999 and the north wanted Obasanjo, a well known northern stooge. The SE sabotaged the interest of the south by aligning with Obasanjo, the northern candidate. Tinubu supported Falae, the southern candidate in that election.

In 2003, it was a straightforward contest between Obasanjo and Buhari. Tinubu’s party (AD) had no presidential candidate and opted to back Obasanjo on the condition that he would support the reelection bid of AD governors. Even though Tinubu was not opposed to Obasanjo’s second term, he saw through his deceit and never trusted him. OBJ player a fast one on the AD governors except Tinubu who was well prepared for him. The rest is now history.

In 2007, the contest was between three northerners. Yar’adua, Atiku and Buhari. Atiku was the candidate of Tinubu’s party so there is no southerner to support.

In 2011, he had a very late agreement with Jonathan and supported him to win the SW. Ribadu knew he stood absolutely no chance so he wasn’t opposed to the arrangement. Jonathan won in Lagos and in four other SW states on the strength of Tinubu’s support. Jonathan is a southerner.

In 2015, it was time for presidency to return to the north in the overall interest of justice, equity and fairness. So, he joined other progressives to form APC and Buhari was elected.

Above is an unbiased record of Tinubu’s presidential choices since 1999 and it’s very clear to reasonable minds that Tinubu supported southern presidential candidates in 1999, 2003 and 2011. Supporting a northerner in 2015 was the right thing to do irrespective of anyone’s perception of Buhari’s performance. In the same vein, supporting a southern presidential candidate in 2023 is the right thing to do.

Tinubu didn't work for the victory of GEJ in 2011. Go check the number of votes Ribadu pulled in SW.

He really wanted to work for GEJ, his party would have adopted GEJ as consensus candidate like APGA and Labour Party did in 2015.

Don't forget his party when to court to stop the Senate from making GEJ the acting president

Keep crying.

The South wanted OBJ because he is pan Nigerian unlike Falae many people see as a tribal champion.

Check the election results and you'll see both SE and SS voted massively for OBJ, a pan Nigerian.

Tinubu backed OBJ because he knew Buhari isn't a good option for Nigeria. Go and read what be said about Buhari years later.

Buhari and Atiku ran with strong Igbo VPs, but the South wanted Yar'Adua because of GEJ.

It'll give the ND a sense of belonging. But treacherously Tinubu betrayed by aligning with Atiku and even demanding for a Moslem Moslem ticket.

Traitor.

In
He had no agreement with GEJ. It was a lie from Mandate Group.

Ribadu polled in 0.3% in Anambra, 0.2% in Enugu, 0.37% in Abia, 0.22% in Ebonyi and 1% in Imo.

He polled 21% in Lagos, 58% in Osun, 45% in Ekiti, 15% in Ondo, 29% in Oyo and 37% in Ogun.

Don't forget Ribadu polled only 3% in his home state Adamawa.

Tinubu is a traitor

It's wasn't the turn of the presidency to the North. The SS hasn't completed their term and GEJ was on the ballot.

He didn't join other progressives. He pitched the idea to Buhari.

All his choices has always been against Southern interested except in 2003 when he had no choice.

Supporting a Northern in 2015 over a Southern from a minority tribe who hasn't completed their term was never the best thing to do.

Today, everyone is suffering that stupid decision.

The South already has a candidate for 2023 and it's OBI.

The man who has never supported Southern interest when needed doesn't qualify for Southern support.

Do you know in 2014, APGA under Peter OBI officially adopted GEJ as it's presidential candidate and collapsed their Anambra grassroot structure just to support a Southern interest.

That same year, Peter OBI won Anambra for GEJ with over 600k votes while Tinubu won SW for Buhari with over 500k votes.

Who doesn't know that?

The South didn't want him because at that time we believe he is a tribal champion. We wanted a pan Nigerian.

Ojukwu, Falae and Buhari are one and the same way. The always vote for a pan Nigerian
Re: Do You Know Tinubu Has Never Supported A Southern President? by ObaOfYorubaLand: 4:41pm On Jul 31, 2022
Tinubu is always a traitor who keeps betraying interest of the south for his selfish ambitions.

Yorubas should understand that igbos don't want Tinubu because he is a Yoruba but because he's a traitor and is not fit.

Let me shock you now, do you know that igbos were the ones fighting for osinbanjo to be apc candidate and were ready to support and sponsor him.

Does the above not portray love for Yorubas?
Say no to Tribalists.

Its pay back time.

He is a fulani slave. 99.999% of yoruba Billionaires made it from oil. And fulani controls the oil, so he has mastered the art of Ass licking.

Unlike Igbo's who are more independent.

Re: Do You Know Tinubu Has Never Supported A Southern President? by IgOga(m): 9:52am On Aug 01, 2022
Tinubu supported GEJ in 2011......Ribadu only won Osun in the SW because Tinubu was flown to Abuja in the presidential jet weeks before the election and a deal was struck.......Ribadu was running but the party structure worked for GEJ to retain power.

When Atiku was running for president under ACN.....Tinubu supported Musa Yaradua and he won that election. Atiku still dey beef Tinubu for dumping him....

Infact every president Tinubu seems to have supported has won elections.......OBJ wrote in his book that the politicians live in Bourdillon.....rumour has it that Tinubu supported Obj in 1999 even though na him carry AD for head........one of the reasons Tinubu remains relevant as aKing maker in Nigerian politics......but whether he can support himself and win is a different territory...time will tell

APC is on Wike's neck to use the PDP party structure in Rivers for Tinubu. Peter Obi too is wooing him to do thesame for Labour Party......I think Sokoto may also vote APC in the presidential election....this is the political transfer season and from September market will be hotcake grin grin grin

I'm campaigning solidly for Tinubu because I am confident he is going to win. His records are there for all to see. There's no comparison between the intellect and thinking of Tinubu with these other contestants. It's not even close.

People ask why I am supporting Tinubu, I am supporting him coz he supervised the first public service in Nigeria to embrace TSA and ERP systems like Oracle, while his analog competition pretender was allowing contractors to cash N250m cheque in Anambra for expenditure to be done in Lagos that housed the bank headquarters, despite that he was the former Chairman of the Bank.

Please vote Jagaban because he got the track record to support it.
