How so? Has he told you he wants to be President? Babagana Kingibe has never been President of this country but as a private citizen he has more power than even some ex presidents sef. You all confuse power with presidency. Before his death Isa Funtua was calling shots, never been president. Thats power!

Tinubu, a private citizen, receives diplomatic chiefs from around the world. That's power!

Never say Never!!! Tinubu has every right and chance to lead the nation.
He has every right - just like everyone else that meets the basic requirements - to lead the nation. But chance? Who would vote for him? You people are quite mad. Who exactly apart from some silly Yorubas would vote for this corrupt, druggy eyed thief? If you are determined to present a Yoruba candidate at least put forward the Osibanjo that is already there now....Since the likes of Akin Adesina and other correct people wouldn't have the 'chance' according to you.

The fact that you hired fools prefer to prop up a damaged and unmarketable entity like Tinubu means that you are simply doing the dirty job that you are paid peanuts to do. No neutral, even a Yoruba neutral would ever talk in favour of a Tinubu presidency. It is belittling to the Yoruba race.

Ojukwu fought a bloody and senseless war for about three years after which he ran away to Ivory Coast. He came back to Nigeria some years later and shamelessly contested for a seat in the senate and even the presidency of the country he fought to breakup. Deservedly, he lost both but the point is, he still contested for the president of one Nigeria. So, what’s the big deal in Tinubu’s statement. Is hypocrisy the second nature of you Igbos?

By comparing Tinubu's statement to Ojukwu, you just confirmed that Tinubu actually meant what the headline says.

1997 not 2007.

Who ever believed in One Nigeria under the Abacha dictatorship?

Obasanjo did and was nearly killed for it, there were others too.

Racoon:

Why the hypocrisy bro? These politicians are all the same.Was it not his opinion military regime or not? Why jumping @ any opportunity to defend Tinubu wisely or blindly? His betrayal of MKO Abiola by secretly frolicking with Abacha is well known.

Have you forgotten he was shouting "restructuring" in the time past but it does not make sense to him today because he is benefitting from "one Nigeria"? Even VP Osinbajo is just giving excuses why restructuring is no more possible.Once they enter that position of power, then they lock up.

What about his past opinions on the unsuitability of the current disaster Nigeria have as president? Guess, his present inability to tell the truth about the current failure of leadership is because of his perceived 2023 ambition?

Bro stop wasting your time on that zombie.

OP, please quote the full excerpts of the interview for the reader to know the context in which Tinubu made the alleged statement.
One may also ask: Was he misquoted? Did he refute the report after publication?
May God continue to bless our dear native land of Nigeria and decimate her detractors.
...No need for that...even a child knows it....

There is nothing surprising there.

This is not as worse as Late Col. Emeka Ojukwu, who also didn't believe in one Nigeria, seceded and was the President of a country for 3 years only to come back after many years to run for senatorial seat, which he lost.

Similar to General M. Buhari (rtd) who said Abacha did not loot, fiercely supported Sharia and stood heavily behind Boko Haram in their initial days, and then suddenly became the President of the country who is saddled to stop the same Boko Haram and gladly receives Abacha's loots.

The truth is that no Nigerian believes in one Nigeria, some are hiding it to look good or just manage what our forefathers handed over to us.

That wasn't the case. Because today igbos that pay attention to history understood how he failed them. But since history is no longer in our school curriculum you see lots of youths argue over what they have no idea about

You cannot bring a headline from an interview granted during the military era without posting the full details. We need to understand the context in which he made the statement.

Yes. I have always advocated that people should read beyond the headline. Even if it was Nnamdi Kanu, I would still like to read the full interview and understand the context. Headlines in Nigeria are largely sensational and misleading.

From your tone, I presume you are a yoruba person.

Tinubu has raised an army of thugs, both online and offline.

I am igbo but if Osinbajo is presented, I will vote for him.

Did some people give the immediate former president the opportunity to understand the context of his full statement that " Stealing is not corruption". But the opposition then over blew it and used it as a campaign statement. We are a society that has been so manipulated by politicians and the cash and carry press to look more on sensational quotes rather than deep analysis of full statement. The internet never forgets.

NIGERIAN FAKE NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES AND FAKE JOURNALISTS!

You see why I don't buy our newspapers!!
Headline: I don't believe in One Nigeria
The Body of the Story:
"Now IF the government has ethnicized the struggle against oppression, then I would be a cowardly individual and a bastard as well not to have accepted my race for my race, I don't care what the trap the military has set. If an injustice is done to my race, then charity should begin at home, it is not a crime being tribal"
"Before the country was amalgamated, I was first of all a Yoruba man,. What we are fighting for is a NATIONAL issue. We are fighting for a genuine national election for the Presidency of Nigeria, my own right as an elected Senator. If you look at the trend of things in the country, you begin to ask why do we have to be the sacrificial lamb all the time"

How can you buy a newspaper that was published before your birth?

You think we had internet in 1997. It was just NTA and some State TV and radio stations.
