Being a good king-maker doesn’t translate to being a good king. So, being a president is not just about being tough at politics, right?

Ps. The responsibilities begin after elections.

You are free to think however you wish.Most of Those delegates just like PDP delegates are corrupt... Simple.

maasoap:


Whatever that you need to tell yourself to make you sleep at night, we're okay with it. The bottom line is that Tinubu won and Osibanjo lost.

derecho:
He doesn't need anyone's sympathy, my brother.
Those delegates were not thinking about loyalty, na money concern dem.

bjtinz:
Abeg you guys should save all the long yeye analysis. Tinubu won because of his deep pockets and largely corrupt, hungry delegates. End. There was no way Osinbajo could match the dollar rain

My real concern is people, youth in particular are already looking forward to a Tinubu presidency (nightmare!!!) This is someone I could barely make out what he was saying during the acceptance speech.

Seriously, What is WRONG with you Nigerians?

Sigh ☹️

Digmygold:


The same money wey Osinbajo dey find by vying for the post of President.

Angrymode:
It's simply shows that the delegates are sold to the highest bidder on cash and other rewards.

The worst part is the majority of voters are no better than party delegates. Woe to Nigeria!

festacman:
Contrary to many people's thinking, I don't believe Prof. Yemi Osinbajo's political career is at great risk for contesting against his mentor Asiwaju Tinubu. Having been VP, the only position to aspire to is President and there is nothing stopping from doing that in future. There is no 100% assurance Asiwaju Tinubu will win the presidential election. So, Osinbajo just needs to tarry, keep being himself, building goodwill and network across Nigeria.

Talking about Osinbajo betraying Tinubu, what do you use to describe what Ganduje did to Kwankwanso, what Amaechi/Wike did to Odili, what Oyetola did to Aregbesola, what Tambuwal did to Wammako, what Udom did to Akpabio, etc.?

The fact is that there comes a time when someone needs to take a bold leap of fate in life regardless of other people's opinions. However, one must courageous to the consequences of such bold move if goes south.

But he jumped at the offer of VP from that "corruption" you are harping on. You get sense? Why the double standard? If he was truly a saint he wouldn't have accepted an offer from "corrupt" people. PYO is no saint. Stop fooling yourself. He lost because he is not the choice of the party and obviously has absolutely nothing to offer judging by how messed up the economy is right now under his watch as a failed VP. Nobody needs a failure as President. Stop wailing, he doesn't deserve to be President, not in the least way and he knows it. Let him go and lick his wounds in the classroom where he belongs or better still open an Ice cream stand.

tollyboy5:

Be decieving yourself. Money is the major factor

Samunique:
Just look at the bold !


To his credit, Tinubu has organized political parties at the local, state, and national levels, since 1993. A reputed national leader of the APC, Tinubu’s political influence transcends Nigeria.

He was instrumental in the election that brought in former President Jacob Zuma and President Nana Akufo-Addo in South Africa and Ghana, respectively.

Keep consoling yourself everything is about cash and bribes. Losers do that. I.e make excuses for their losses rather than consider that others may be better and deserve credit for their talent and ability.

He lost because APC delegates are corrupt...SIMPLE.

There are contestants that have defeated their benefactors in the past.

The important thing is, he stood to be counted.

100% corect talk. Osinbajo is a young man in political age. Those who believe in him should stop shouting.

Osinbajo supporters should get behind him and help him to bounce back bigger and better as others, like Buhari, have done.

Same. Way we Tinubu fans, in good and bad times, stuck behind Jagaban because of our unshakeable belief that he is the best and most transformational politician in Nigeria today.

Osinbajo fans should now rally behind their man, if they truly believe in him, and prove to all he is an independently sagacious politicians and not an accidental creation who rode on the back of Tinubu, he later betrayed, to get where he is today.

Fakers always get found out but real OG's endure to continue winning.

derecho:
I stopped midway into your post because you can't appreciate simple issues.
Did it occur to you they called him because they needed his services and because Buhari needs to convince Nigerians of his anti-corruption mantra?Apart from the religious reason, Tinubu would have been a wrong representation of anti corruption

Oyinlade07:

That's what some people don't know.. They will just open their mouth here and be saying nonsense comment.. How many people has Osinbajo bought Coke for since he became VP.. Has he ever hosted any of the the delegates during Easter or Muslim celebration?? What structure does he have?? Does he connect with the grass root?? Quote my words if Obi has 3 million votes I will do give away of 10k to the two people that save this comment.. I was called all sorts of names... U don't win with grammar.. You win with structure.. Tinubu has foot soldiers all over the Geo political zone.. Some people are even ready to take bullets for him.. How many can do that for Osinbajo?? I so much love your comments unlike some idiots who will just type nonsense on this forum..

BabaO2:

Oga what are u talking, you can't divorce money from politics, no aspirant that didn't spend money on delegates including Osinbajo, to be a delegate is not a selfless service. Osinbajo lost because he has no structure. His sycophancy about buhari didn't help him, buhari and his cabals didn't reciprocate his loyalty and sycophancy instead they preferred Lawan a northerner over osinbajo, adamu played buhari's script by announcing lawan as consensus candidate, but Tinubu thwarted it with his capacity, sagacity and structure, even there was a well advanced plan by mamman daura buhari's nephew to bring jonathan, just in an attempt to play sw and Tinubu out, but Tinubu was ready to play dirty was the joker.

laughitall:
he has supporters all over the country ! Don’t stress ! Jagaban2023 Is Assured

Digmygold:


Now that they don't need his "incompetence" any more he can get lost and go and lick his wounds. He is no saint otherwise he wouldn't have allowed his "saint" self to convince Nigerians about anyone's anti-corruption mantra. He was in on it for his own selfish interest too.

davodyguy:

This is what I told someone on Twitter.

Buhari's body language favoured a northern candidate. If he wanted Osinbajo, he would have announced

derecho:
Kikikiki...so those voted Tinubu were his loyalists?
Forget, political structure... Money swayed the delegates

Tradegood:
hm
I thought they, Osinbanjo and Tinubu, planned that he, Osinbanjo should contest so that some people will not say Tinubu only won because he did not allow Osibanjo to contest.

Osinbanjo shouldn't have betrayed Tinubu naa, chai! It is not good.

From Fasola, to Ambode to Aregbesola to Osinbanjo, e no good.
Tinubu will finish pulling his political weight to bring you people out from oblivion to limelight una go begin drag shoulder with am. E no good.
Learn servanthood if you want to be great.

Tinubu is a good man.

I wanted Jonanthan to win 2nd term then even though I wondered why he was not listening to Obasanjo to step down (he should have listened to OBJ).

Tinubu made mistakes and Buhari made sure he dealt with him but Tinubu loves Nigerians. He is good at heart.

Thank YOU Heavenly FATHER for bringing smiles to the faces of Nigeria today.
The spirit of depression was lifted off our land today by Tinubu's victory. We are happy. Thank YOU LORD JESUS.

Demonic days are over in Nigeria in JESUS name, amen.

You are still 'blind' and naive brother. Even the greediest delegates have leaders they respect and are in awe of.

When some of you reduce what we just saw to bribing of delegates alone, I laugh and cry for Nigeria because it shows we have a worthlessly arrogant and ignorant educated class with their heads in the cloud.

One of Tinubu's main strenght is that he never loses his connection to the street and ordinary Nigerians despite being elite royalty in Nigeria. The most elite even.


Yet some of you arrogant lot, with your modest achievements, are totally disconnected from the reality of Nigeria and ordinary Nigerians.

Many Nigerians , from politicians to ordinary Nigerians on the streets, regard Tinubu a hero and winner who has fought many battles to emerge victorious.

The psychological wiring of human beings will always predispose them, whether political delegates or Mama Sikira the agbo seller, to believe in and follow such a man.
