He really has an impressive résumé. He is ultra qualified for the post. He is one of the few round pegs in round holes in this administration.

this is what happens when an Iboman is nurtured (fed amala and ewedu) and groomed (taught how to speak ngba.ti) under the watchful eyes of Yoruba.

Rather when too much Yoruba men and women are at Owambe and you need a qualified person from a group of people that have survived without government patronage and 20 pounds to save what would naturally end up as a disaster.

Now it is becoming glaringly clear why tinubu and obj forced buhari on apc as their candidate . They knew buhari may not last long effectively in power and the vice president will be the one ruling the nation. This is the main reason tinubu wanted to secure the vice presidential slot for himself. The best way to win a presidential seat in Nigeria without contesting any election is just to present a dumb deaf aboki and you are already the president.

Now let's not get too carried away. You are right to an extent, but the Fulani are not that daft, and the Yoruba actually wanting to be President is far from the truth, because historically, that doesn't benefit them. It's all about sharing the wealth from the East/Midwest, and turning around to exploit that region in other aspects (seaports, airports, positions in political and quasi political areas I.e. Government/military/etc, and even renting of property in Lagos, Abuja, Kano, etc).

The idea of another 4 years of a GEj tenure spelt the possible breakup of Naija, even with all the bad and good things under his regime

How much money is eating or preparing of "Amala" bringing into Nigeria economy, or even Lagos state sef? I'm sure it is eventually causing Diabetes and maybe the cancer that Buhari is reported to have.

Saraki and atiku saw through tinubu plans,that was the reason why they opposed his muslim/Muslim ticket.
On the issue of Fulani been not daft, fulanis in general are intelligent ppl and I wont insult any tribe by saying one tribe is dumb but let me ask u one question,why is it that obj is always supporting a sick ,weak northern candidate despite having full knowledge of their bad state of health
On the issue of Nigeria breakup due to another 4 years of gej,the breakup was due to apc negative bitterness opposition politics that portrayed gej as anti Muslim and anti north. It was the northerners that had cutlasses,matchets and guns ready before the election results were announced in favor of pdp not the south.
It was those security reports that made abdulsalami to rush down to ask rock and plead with gej not to even contest the election results in court.

Actually I agree with what you said, not clear on the OBJ pick because remember Prince Charles came in quietly to Abuja prior to the announcing or selection of Yar Adua smiley

Be appreciative and stop giving flimsy excuses.. .I am sure if okorocha or even one Igbo man was in osinbanjo shoes he will appoint a northerner, so stop beating about the bush. Let's appreciate our selves and work together as the southern part of the country needs to be one.
