El Rufai is a small boy in politics and if not for buhari tsunami of 2015 he wouldnt have became a governor, Tinubu has being a major force since 93 with the SDPs his contacts extends nigeria, west africa and argueable africa.. he has loyalist in both PDP and APC, even US and UK embassy visits him from time to time

There are two powerful western power brokers who have access to chatam house and western powers and thats Tinubu and Obasanjo, just a phone call from Obasanjo , Atiku was made PDP flagbearer and given visa ban waiver to US, and twice Buhari intentionally made Tinubu the chiarman of his presidential campaign team because he knows tinubu's influence, even Ghanians Presidents first ever visit was to Tinubu after he deployed his machinery to boot out thier former president


..

AntiBalaka:


And you think the north will vote a yaribanza over their own?

You people are truly deluded.

Since 1999, the core north has always voted a northern Muslim.

Why do you think that will change in 2023?

To win elections in Nigeria you must clinch the middle belt .

This is what Buhari achieved in 2015.

Tinubu has no political structure or connections in the north central other than in Kwara which Saraki is plotting to reclaim.

How in God's name do you expect the north and north central to vote Tinubu?

nedekid:

Come out streight.
Tinubu or El rufai

crazygod:
Can Sullivan Chime declare that he wants to run? As as Ijaw man, I will definitely campaign for him even with my humble resources

Sabby1:
They are both incapable of fixing Nigeria.

The best thing that will happen to Nigeria is for States to be independent and fund their activities from their own income, earnings and revenue

Anyway, some tribal bigots will come to this thread just to display their stupidity

orisa37:
Neither of them. They are Selfish and wicked. Osinbajo has Supreme Experience. He can discipline El Rufai, having El Rufai as his VP. Otherwise, Yorubas might prefer Wike or Okorocha to Tinubu. And if APC remains unserious, Yorubas might lure Osinbajo to go PDP where they might pair Saraki with him to call off The Bluff of these Terrorists Fulanis and their Egbira Bokoharam.

mercyville:
If Tinubu comes forth for the presidency,he has the midas touch and I have observed that anything he touches becomes a success,I will vote for him for a progressive Nigeria.Most of the times,the spiritual controls the physical.

kaey10:

South south n southeast won't vote tinubu either

engrchykae:
osibanjo/David mark will do the magic.
Southeast south south would prefer to back these two than have a northwest born to rule slowpoke with an igbo mere commissioner

nedekid:

You obviously know nothing of the man you so wish for. His greed is why Lagos is in a terrible state now with the roads, streetlights etc not working. All Lagos money must be banked in preparation or funding 2023 ambition. Why do you think lasma, vio etc was recalled on the streets? Don't you know the billions they generate? Of which a huge percentage goes to a consulting firm? Do you not realise that Chicago mafia format is being used.

Ok. 2015 elections one of the foremost candidates in an Eastern state approached the Chicago God father to cross over to his party and Carry the flag. In that meeting Mr Chicago demanded for 40% of the states income! 40% of total state income!
The fellow backed out. He is currently a minister.

Harrynight:
Both in cash and in everything Jagaban will beat El rufai hands down.

Btw; they take ancestors do us for this country?
Tinubu should be an elder stateman

AntiBalaka:


Well you are right about the destiny of a Yoruba presidency not being in the hands of the south.

The only Yoruba presidency was gotten as a result of northern charity - see Obasanjo in 1976 and 1999.

If the north wills a Yoruba presidency so shall it be. It is on this premise that Tinubu is banking his entire loot on that Buhari will rig him into power.

Let us assume Buhari even rigs tinubu into power can Tinubu manage the office? Hell No!. There will be a coup in 6mths and nobody will cry for Tinubu.

Eastlink:
He led NADECO from exile, lol! Maybe behind his tails when he was fleeing Abacha. Stop deceiving the younger generations with such lies. You can't change the truth so easily.
We know who led NADECO, the likes of Pa Alfred Rewane, Pa Enahoro, Ndubuisi Kanu, Pa Reuben Fasoranti and many others.
Tinubu was a nobody back then.

ajebuter:
I'm a Lagosian born, bred and by parentage..

Between BAT my homie and El Rufai an aabokii..

I will vote an abokki rather than my homie.

That should mean something to the wise ones

Jimi24:


You are a good thinker but states are independent of the federal government. Pls dont share lies that cannot be substantiated.
States are immensely powerful. I think tue problem is most southerners are bred with inferiority complex and persecution complex towards the under developed north. A paradox but its unfortunately TRUE.

Rivers State is buying an oil block. Rivers State money enthroned presidents. Only one state only in the north has the power to feed Nigeria with rice and wheat and it is state governors that control surface real estate.
Nobody is even checking state governors. They all have state assemblies in their pockets. They collect 50% of VAT, they steal 100% of LGA funds. Why are states broke now? Because during Okonjo Iwealla/GEJ era, they were taking loans and stealing the money for roads, et.c

Yoighaman:


Tinubu was a nobody back then? Are you serious about this assertion? Do you call someone that bankrolled an entire organization like NADECO a nobody? what could all the people you mentioned have done without Tinubu, he was their chief financier and a strong force in NADECO, why do you think Funsho Williams was asked to step down for him in 1999 as Lagos State governor? I agree the people you mentioned were the elders but who was the brain behind the whole plot? Tinubu. He's always been a strategist, he lies in the background and schemes, that's always been his style, that's why I feel a bit concerned about him alledgedly wanting to become President come 2023, he is a kingmaker and I personally think he should remain one.

Eastlink:
Osibanjo isn't a bad choice but that won't fly in the SE/SS. Why, because the Yoruba's have had their turn. Presidency 8 years and VP 8 years.

The only way the SE/SS will support the APC is when either a Ken Nnamani, Chibuike Amaechi or Sullivan Chime of the party is chosen as the Presidential flagbearer. Anything other than this is DOA.

What you say matters if APC actually needs the votes of the SE.

Whoever APC selects internally will win the presidency, irrespective of what SE does.

Eastlink:
I'm not in doubt. The APC hasn't selected any one yet. The party primary comes up in 2022. We still have more time to do our politicking right. Isn't that so?

Injera:

Like who??

Gforce2015:



Too early to judge. ..
After 3 years we will know who crown fit either from the governors , senators or ministers including the vice president... No automatic tickets for anybody. This is how the country can be great again...
Let's play politics void of sentiment and partiality

nairalandankrah:
EL-Rufai OR Asiwaju Tinubu: Who will make a better Nigeria president? .. What are your thoughts?

isthatso:


which politicking, are you talking of the SE?

isthatso:


dream on. This country cannot be great with it's current constitution. There is no incentive for greatness in the constituion. the constitution guarantees mediocrity.

bixton:


What other incentive do you need to make a country great?
There's nothing wrong with the constitution. The only faulty thing is the people in the country.

rexwalters:
That you lack common sense?
