I know you are a pdp supporter but the people who shot themselves in the foot were the pdp leaders who out of greed decided to give atiku it's ticket. See obi ran as a vp to atiku in 2019 so he already had a presence there was a growing sentiment from the south for a southern president, apc's Muslim Muslim ticket also increased the call for a christian president now if the pdp were wise and have given obi it's ticket pdp would have been in power by now look at the impact a man without structure was able to make, if he had been paired with a powerful northern politician like maybe tambuwal he would have cleared the south and done well in the north the mood of the people should be taken into consideration always by political parties, I found it hard to believe that pdp would present atiku again even when the mood of the south who is your major base didn't even support a northern Fulani Muslim taking over from another northern Fulani Muslim, in politics while you may have your own ambition it is easier to align your ambition with the popular sentiment of the people, I"m from Edo state even before the primaries everyone was already open to an obi candidacy for the the
Pdp, but the pdp never took into consideration the mood and wishes of the masses they allowed individual greed and ambition devide their house, for me the man who made pdp lose was atiku and his greed which didn't align with the wishes of the masses.

The Buhari cabal that placed Hashim Shettima as Tinubu's deputy, knowing full well that Tinubu is aged and sick, also engineered Atiku Abubakar to go to buy PDP presidential ticket.
The presidential election got heavily rigged such that APC and PDP each got higher numbers of votes than the Labour Party, all to ensure that a Muslim succeeds president Buhari. The Buhari cabal's engineering of Atiku to grab PDP ticket started right from the period Atiku played VIP role at the wedding ceremony of Buhari's kid around 2021.

Your lengthy explanation makes no sense because you refused to acknowledge the fact that after APC adopted Muslim-Muslim ticket, the entire election campaign began to be on Muslim versus Christian presidential candidates.

While it did tend towards the religious...that was mainly in the cities, and in the Lagos -Abuja echo chamber. Outside that, are myriads of voters who as I said, vote for what they see, not what they hear.

You refuse to accept the fact that Nigeria is a country nearly equally divided between Muslims and Christians

Until the census is fairly conducted and includes the religion question, we can never know. (and that's all I will say about the matter.

.
So with the possibility looming for Islam dominating the affairs of Nigeria in another 16 years after the 8 years of President Buhari,

Well, some of you told us that Buhari would islamize Nigeria. After 8 years, how has that gone on?

Also, not to defend tinubu, but he was not pro-sharia when people were chanting Sharia in 2001. Ya think he would do the same?

Finally, any leader who imposes one religion on Nigeria risks crisis. It was tried in Sudan, and the Muslim Sudanesse are now regretting the decsion to do so. Any attempt to islamize Nigeria would leave the North in a disadvatage, and they know it. This is not 1804.

Obi is where Buhari was in 2011. He can do like Buhari did over the next 3 years, form alliances, and then APC would get kicked out in 2027. Relax. It is possible (I never thought an Ijaw man would rule Nigeria as far back as 2007...and then it happened)



why wouldn't Christians, and even moderate Muslims vote for the 1 Christians presidential candidate to avert any possibility for Islamists steering Nigeria to a worse calamity?

From your previous comment, you implied that Muslims won't vote for Obi... and that obviously means...Moderates included.


You cannot think for all Nigerians. Nigerians are weird. In 2002, I thought that many of my friends were just as angry as me with PDP misrule. In 2003, I found out they all voted for ....the same PDP.

Better get out of your echo chamber.

(Yes, I don't like APC, or PDP or even LP because Obi was part of PDP).

Tinubu was born in Osun State but identifies as a Lagosian. There are people for whom this is important, and I respect their feelings, too



Since the 12th Century after the Ife Princes who founded Yorubaland dispersed to their Various kingdons and after Prince Oranmiyan was King at Benin Ile Ife and Oyo , a Yoruba man was free to identify and claim anywhere in Yorubaland


If Yoruba ancestors fully understood and embraced th e Principle of Brotherly love and unity in the 12th Century why are people who claim to be woke and in the 21st Century wrestling with the idea of an Osun or any Yoruba man being Gov of Lagos ?

https://www.nairaland.com/7591463/ophiuchus-aka-jagaban-conquered-3

So we know these are all ancient archetype stories because there is nothing new under the sun. That which had been is that which shall be and so we have the three headed snake ( obi and Atiku and Kwankwaso ) who have taken over the land due to the fall of mankind and the world is in darkness and there is no light to be seen anywhere and it is the dark ages of sorts and it’s time for Luna entities to rule for as they say, when the night falls the monsters rule. And this 3 headed snake is unified in their purpose of dominance even from the time of their patriarchs which is why you would always find nnamdi azikiwe who would rather give power to the Fulani than hand it over to awolowo. This is why the general sentiment is that if obi does not win I would rather give it to Atiku than to have Tinubu presidency and this is because this three headed monster is unified in its purpose of ruling the night and keeping ophiuchus the snake handler out of power. This 3 headed snake monster can be traced back to ancient bloodlines of Ishmael and Esau. And they rule the night but when the dawn breaks Olodumare would split them into 3 and disunify and confuse their purpose. The tower of babble whose language was confused so that they could no longer work together towards a common goal but instead they are working against each other and destroying each other. And in this confused state the disjointed three headed monster started working against each other, Kwankwaso took pdp vote in Kano, obi took all pdp vote in SE and SS and so the head of the monster Atiku was weakened and ophiuchus the snake handler aka Tinubu took advantage of that weakness and coasted to victory to creAte a new golden age. However the disciples and angels of the 3 headed monster are not going to go down without a fight and so expect extreme turbulence this March. The Nigerian Armageddon. Many of the three headed monsters angels have to be killed because they are only programmed to obey the monster and would not submit to ophiuchus new world order. So expect to see a bloodbath in March. As we violently usher in the golden age emerging like the Phoenix out of the ashes of the Nigerian Armageddon

I'm so happy politics of Religion has come to an end with the emergence of Tinubu.


It's a non-factor

It is not yet uhuru.

Religion matters in politics not because some Muslim or christian leader is going to impose his religion on all of us...but because in things like federal civil service jobs, and contracts, among many other things, the religion, tribe , etc of whoever is at the top plays a vital role in you and me getting such things.

Maybe when we become an industrial socieity, that kind of thing would diminish (though I did read of an American civil servant who reminded me of some lazy Nigerian civil servants...got job via political connections, he did, and sat down doing nothing).

"But the negative interpretation is that he doesn’t care about the integrity, character and honesty of who succeeds him.

That negative interpretation is my concern here, and it’s premised on Buhari’s support for the election of Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s next president. It concerns me because I’m fully convinced that a Tinubu presidency would not only destabilise Nigeria internally, it would damage Nigeria globally, making it a big laughing stock, a butt of dark international jokes!

Truth is, next year’s presidential election will have huge long-term implications, its outcome will affect Nigeria for decades. Therefore, no patriotic Nigerian should sit on the fence; that patriotism is what underpins this intervention. To be sure, the presidential election should be as much about character as manifesto.

The presidency is too serious an office to be invested in someone with serious integrity deficit. Those ignoring character and integrity should remember the Turkish proverb: “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace becomes a circus.”

But here are questions for President Buhari: Is he aware of the damaging allegations swirling around Tinubu? Given what he knows, does he think Tinubu is a fit and proper person to be Nigeria’s president? Is he happy that Tinubu’s life, pedigree and backstory are veiled in secrecy or, as someone puts it, a “miasma of dubiety”?


In the US, every major presidential candidate is an open book. But not Tinubu. He arrogantly refuses to answer uncomfortable questions about his past. Instead, he uses surrogates: Festus Keyamo, Femi Fani-Kayode, Bayo Onanuga.

Who see him as their route to advancement and are blatantly lying to Nigerians, treating them as morons. Recently, they came full throttle with deliberate untruths about the drug allegations against Tinubu.

When you tell them a vote for Obi is a vote for Tinubu.. they curse and abuse

When you tell them .. Atiku is the closest to anything igbo President they mock and sing the Yoruba song .. north cannot handover to north..

Forgetting a Muslim is about handing over to a Muslim.. what’s the difference?

You tell Obi will come third and can’t win elections ., emotion rises and they will scream..

Now tell me .. when Igbos will be coming this close .. again or even Christian’s

Their calculations were so wrong .. you tell them to control narratives.. and not allow southwest media do that for southerners .. but no.. they believe in what’s impossible

Nigeria politics is all about alignments and interest.

See how Obasanjo out of his bitter hatred and selfish interest has craftily taken igbos back in national politics.. same easterners that were almost close to power .. Yoruba media taunt them and abuse them of serving out PDP for years without reward .. now I asked .. where’s their reward ?
Obasanjo will disappear back into the hood and still a national hero… and former president.. his kinsman is the President, his place is assured .. so nothing

East must learn to play the national politics and not politics of sentiments and emotions .. which most times .. southwest always take advantage of this naivety to claim political Sophisticators.. leading southern narratives..that always appear real.. but hidden behind an agenda that favors and work for them.

If Obi has remained in PDP.. or aligned with Pdp towards the later days of campaign.. nobody would have been going to court

If Obi has avoided church politics and focus more on national politics.. Muslims won’t have been emboldened like they will be in the next four years

For the fact that he’s going to court on his own.. even when offer a hand of alignment.. shows most of them are still to learn .. the reality of the process..

Wetin we know

We’re all in court .. just being hopeful.


But the sad reality remains fact..
Asiwaju is the President of Nigeria … Obidients in particular made him President.. not Apc or Muslims

You are just typing trash

If Obi wasnt in the ballot, the BVAs won't still transmit result and APC will win.

The case is in court, when it starts, you will understand that Atiku and Tinubu are just regional politicians.

Supremos read this article without emotions and check whether Obi stood a chance of winning the 25th febuary election.

The highest Obi could have gone was to have the highest number of votes in the country but he wouldnt have had the compulsory 25percent in 2/3rd states of the country.

Am seeing people bring up mutilated inec sheets in Rivers, Obi had his 25percent thr, though he scored less, even if we r to give him 2million votes in Rivers bringing his tally to 8.1m votes, tinubu still wins with 8.7m with votes.

I keep saying this, PDP went into the race fragmented unlike in 2019.

Obi wanted to be presented hoping on his South eastern, South south and Igbos votes in lagos state.
All these states r just 12states...

I never believed he will win Plateau and Nassarawa cos of the dominant APC in those 2states, but he won.

Will we still say Inec rigged the election in those states for Peter Obi?

But he won those sstates cos of the numbers of Christians thr..

There r sizeable numbers of cchristians in.Adamawa and the babachir lawal factor who supported him, he had more.than 100k votes..
Christians in bauchi headed by yakubu dogara supported Atiku, but he still had votes thr...

He won 5lgas in Kaduna cos of Datti and also Christian community in southern kaduna..

Was Obi suppose to win in Zamfara, Kano or katsina that houses 90percent of Muslim?

Now u enter southwest, outside lagos the other south western states will always toe a dangerous tribalistic path..
The same way Igbos sees Peter Obi in the East as the most competent person is the same way Yorubas in Ondo, Ekiti, Oyo, Osun and Ogun sees Asiwaju Tinubu...
Tribalism, ethnicity played a major role in this election..

U dont expect a tribal bigot to like ur candidate above his tribal man.

Just like Obi said if you want to be address as Excellency then the process of getting to office must be excellent. It's only poverty that will make this country great and we're done with phase one and now in phase two.

Kobonaire4:


You are interpreting the potential voting in a ridiculous way (my apologies for sounding so crass).

First, Nigerians don't usually vote across religion PER SE...otherwise Obasanjo would have had a more narrow win against Buhari in 2003, and GEJ would have had the same IN 2011. Also, there were muslims who voted for Obi (Nassarawa state which LP won, and which has a large Muslim population is instructive)

Second the two Muslim candidates are also the candidates of the major parties APC and PDP...which have something LP don't have...national spread, and members across all the country. And candidates at all levels who are expected to mobilise across the nation...

Third...LP did not have the national spread that PDP and APC has. Especially in the North and even South west. This is important. Poeple vote for what they know and see. Many local leaders in most local government areas are PDP or APC supporters. Even in areas where LP won the election , PDP and APC took the senate and house and came a close second. Because people vote for those they know...and religion may not come into it.

they are very emotional so can't see this Peter Obi spearheaded a movement built on ethno religious politics... No firm structure which is why APC PDP dominated the nass elections.. the guber polls ll confirm it cos APC PDP ll dominate the elections... Of gorvenor and state assemblies the only state LP can win for gorvenor is Abia Enugu... Others I don't think they stand a chance even in Lagos too...

Read it slowly and digest it again. If this can't be done, then Igbos should forget about ever becoming the president of our great nation, Nigeria


No party that is built on ethnicity and religion can win presidential election in a multiple society like Nigeria.

Labour Party supporters are celebrating their victories in other parts of Nigeria. But no party won in the East. It is a closed region open to Igbos only.

The Igbos enjoy the openness and acceptance of other societies, but they close their society to outsiders.

To be accepted by others you have to accept them as well. It would have been good for the Igbos and the polity to see Atiku or Tinubu winning a state in the South East. It shows political maturity and sophistication.

The Igbos should learn from the North and Yorubas. Unless they accept others and build bridges,an Igbo man will not be voted president of Nigeria.

This is just the bitter truth, since the candidate will need other regions' votes to emerge president.
but historically the Igbos have been voting for other candidates the voted for Obasanjo even when ojukwu was also running they voted Jonathan so where did you get this analysis from, regarding this election it is very insensitive for you to expect them to leave out the most accepted candidate and just vote in tinubu just to prove your so called definition of political maturity, you claim other regions voted for obi, that is because they believe in him , I'm from Edo state a bini man out here nobody I know voted for tinubu even though I strongly believe the numbers he got here were rigged, three saying obi ran on an ethnic and religious ticket is also false, the candidate that did that was tinubu we all know the shettima ticket was mainly to appease to the northerner Muslim community and nothing more, if peter obi wanted to play on ethnic sentiment of the north he would have chosen an ethnic and religious fundamentalist from the north as his vp just to manipulate northern voters but he didn't he went for a refined northern politician who is liberal leaning and an industrialist, this is also the only candidate who despite coming from a region who has never been at the presidency ever, he never for once played or say anything across regional, ethnic or religious lines the only thing they have against him was because of his indentification with the church, the church and christian community willfully adopted him,. Can you blame him for that, was it not tinubu who went to Abeokuta to say it is the turn of the Yorubas, did you ever hear obi make a statement like that that it is the turn of the Igbos, they say he didn't build bridge how else should he build bridge he went to the north, south east and west to campaign, he was at the arewa house, the met the northern elders forum leaders, he campaigned everywhere, he talked about his plans for the north, he was at various town halls, he had northerners in his campaign teams even the party the labour party he was running on can be best described at the most pan Nigerian political party, if you don't like him it's okay but it is wrong to say he ran on a religious or ethnic ticket, when he wasn't the one who ran on a Muslim Muslim ticket just because he wanted to. Appeal to religious fundamentalist never did he ever say it is the turn of the Igbos,just as tinubu has said, I hate when a lie is just been repeated without facts.

Obi and Buhari also share the same qualities of self-righteousness, pretense to austerity, populism, hyperbolized or fictive past “achievements,” and weaponization of mass anger against the Establishment that they are, in reality, a part of.

There is one more thing they share: the delusion, buoyed up by the delusionary tyranny of echo-chamber self-affirmation, that they can win a national election through appeals to a narrow religious constituency and that any outcome that defies their quixotic expectation is the consequence of rigging.

Something happened to me where I was working before, this particular lady for no reason just hated me not dislike I means hate n worst aspect she convinced others to do the same until one day I was posted to her department n as expected all of them were already waiting to deal with me in fact anything I did no matter how good to them it was the worst. Until something happened n with God I was able to proved myself well n my number enemy then is my closest friend today. They not only loved but care now The whole department came to begged for forgiveness.

So u may not understand what joined Farooq and Tinubu together and don't used his words to base your own judgement.

But even if the conduct of the election were faultless, the outcome would more or less be the same.

The best possible outcome for Obi in the election was for him to marginally win the popular vote both because three Muslims divided the Muslim vote and because Obi’s supporters were more energized than others but fail to be declared winner because he fell short of getting the required spread in about half of the country.

Re: Why Tinubu’s Win Stings Some And Soothes Others By Farooq Kperogi by infogeneral: 9:39am On Mar 04, 2023
"I was personally indifferent to, and invested no emotions in, the outcome of last Saturday’s election because it was as predictable as tomorrow’s date. The PDP that faced off APC in 2019 was fractured into four feuding, mutually annihilating factions to fight APC in 2023, which has remained more or less unchanged. What could go wrong with that?

Atiku Abubakar’s PDP, Peter Obi’s Labour Party, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s NNPP, and the G 5 governors were all in a united PDP in 2019. In 2023, they not only splintered, they sabotaged each other with more ferocity than they confronted APC. Only the wildest stretch of Pollyannaish fantasy would expect a more or less united APC to be defeated by a fragmented opposition."

This is the obvious reality. Even if the election is conducted again APC will still win. It took the alliance of many parties in 2015 to defeat the rulling PDP. As long as the oppositions are divided, none of them will be able to get 25% requirement in 25 states.
