Fact Check: Did Tinubu Win 2015 Election For Buhari Or It Is Just Propaganda? by HardMirror(m): 8:10am On Jun 01, 2022
Tinubu supporters have always acclaimed the political genius Tinubu is. How without Tinubu, Buhari can never become president, How tinubu ensured Buhari won.


How True is this.
To get the truth, we have to look at the facts, to get the facts we have to look at the records.

2007
In 2007 Tinubu and Atiku aligned against Obasanjo and Yaradua. They spent money, played all their cards but still lost to Yaradua. Not only did they lose, Atiku came a distant 3rd.
Yaradua had 24.6 Million votes
BUHARI HAD 6 million votes
ATIKU WITH TINUBUS HELP ONLY HAD 2.6 million votes.
Buhari had 4million votes more than tinubu and atiku could get without spending the money tinubu and atiku spent

So tinubu proved to be a light weight in national politics in 2007.

2011
Tinubu regroup again in 2011 with his ACN party and presented Nuhu Ribadu. How well did they do?
Jagaban was only able to get 2million votes where Buhari without the money and Media strategies of Mr. Tinubu got a whopping 12 million votes. JONATHAN WON WITH 22MILLION VOTES!

Again Tinubu failed woefully in 2011, he even got lesser votes than in 2007. But Buhari got double the votes he had in 2007. Showing that Buhari was getting more popular and stronger.

2015
2015 was finally the year that projected tinubu to the status he hold till date. It is believed that tinubu helped Buhari win. BUT DID HE? Let us look at the results again.
LAGOS AND OSUN STATE ARE THE 2 STATES COMPLETELY UNDER TINUBU YET BUHARI ONLY WON NARROWLY BY ABOUT 100,000 VOTES IN BOTH STATES. TINUBU could not deliver massive votes for Buhari in the Entire SW. It was embarrassing.
Buhari only managed to win GEJ thanks to KANO, KATSINA and KADUNA. Where he massively floored GEJ. If not for Buhari's popularity in the North, he would have lost as he only narrowly won GEJ. This is also thanks to Kwankwaso as you can see how mu h kwankwaso helped Atiku in 2019 again. Proving kwankwaso is a bigger fish than tinubu in national politics always giving his candidates massive results.

Please note that TINUBU had zero influence in the states that gave Buhari massive votes in 2015.

GEJ HAD PDP CRISIS AT THAT TIME HEADED BY OBASANJO WHO LEFT PDP. not tinubu.

North felt Yaradua did not finish his tenure and a northerner must continue not GEJ.

CHIBOK GIRLS kidnap also was a big factor that tarnished Gej as incompetent.


In all this Tinubu had almost no positive contribution that helped Buhari win.

He paid media and people to go online and start spreading the news that he was the master mind behind Buhari winning. Buhari had always been bigger than tinubu in national politics and the results are there for all to see. Tinubu could not even deliver for Buhari in 2015

shocked



Only fools subscribed to that baseless propaganda that Tinubu won 2015 election for Buhari. If there's anyone that played vital role for Buhari in 2015 presidential election , it was Rabi'u Musa Kwankwaso of Kano state and not Tinubu. Kano vote alone buried every other votes gotten by GEJ. Even Lagos state that Tinubu owned as his property, he could not influence it much during the election.


One of the overrated politician I have seen in my life is Tinubu.

It should be noted that until last year Tinubu had no structure in the north. So how did he make Buhari win? Why should buhari feel indebted to tinubu? When Tinubu could not even deliver Lagos and South west to Buhari? He only won with very narrow margins that did not help. If not for the north where Buhari was strong he would have lost to Gej again

Tinubu's biggest contribution to Buhari's victory in 2015 was at the primaries alongside Rotimi Amaechi when Lagos and Rivers money made him defeat Atiku and Kwankwaso not even in the main election.

His contributions to the main election was not too significant

it is not even up to 5% this was a man that had never gotten more than 2million votes in 2011 and 2007 for his party. Buhari was always coming second with a massive gap to Tinubu's party. If not for PDP members like Tambuwal, Obasanjo and co that left GEJ, can APC win? In fact Obasanjo caused the biggest problem for gej not tinubu

buhari knows his political worth and he knows tinubu did not make him president. This is part of the reason the man does not feel he owes tinubu anything and Baba Akande revealed this in his book.

yes tinubu was using the media to make a lot of noise. Using sahara reporters most especially. But that was not what influenced the result. Pdp members betrayed GEJ. Insecurity was a big problem, people actually believed Buhari would do better as a General. Finally the Yaradua factor, northerners felt they had to complete their term since Yaradua died in office.

Oh ! So the topic is no longer about the all powerful Tinubu who Buhari as sidelined n never contributed to Buhari winning but lunatics from your Igbo tribe claims he betrayed the South by gifting Buhari the votes your dead wrote he never had.

Can you see how pathetic the brain of an average NL igbo is corroded. This as to be a cursed place on your miserable lot from heaven above, it is bound to plague you till eternity. To de reason like lunatics na something of pride for Alaigbo no wonder.

Igbo is not Yoruba enemy. Some of them are mere wailers having been frustrated with the system. They fought the system and failed so everybody becomes a suspect to them. Is this argument makes any sense? Buhari himself knows those who assisted him to win election.

tinubus greatest Strength is propaganda. He controls a lot of news outlets and uses then to paint a picture about himself. That is why the cabal still fears him. They are afraid he can use the media to tarnish them, if not they would have thrown him in the dustbin long ago.

If those five heavy weight politicians didn't left PDP buhari for no win that election
Kwakwansiya movement in 2015 was massive and we all witnessed it
Same kwakwansiya movement helped Atiku in 2019
