Background

Salihu Tanko Yakasai (Peacock @dawisu) was the special adviser on new media to Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano. Like his father Tanko Yakasai (who was Shagari's presidential liaison to the National Assembly), he is very outspoken. He doesn't hesitate to speak his mind. This has often gotten him into trouble (just like his father often got into trouble).


He annoyed some Kanawa because he defended his boss, Abdullahi Ganduje during the dollargate scandal.

He also annoyed some Kanawa because of his criticism and mocking of the former Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, when the Emir had problems with Governor Ganduje.


He was suspended from office in October 2020 for criticising President Buhari over the End SARS protest.

He was reinstated a few weeks later.

However, he was sacked in February 2021 and detained by the DSS for criticising President Buhari again and asking him to resign after some school children were kidnapped by bandits.

His father said that his son was just beginning his journey and he stated that he was arrested 10 times. Salihu Tanko Yakasai then joked that he had 9 more arrests to go.

Exactly how Obidients are playing politics without bitterness but urchins are making it to look like a do or die affair.

At the top, PDAPC are united in their corruption, its only utchins that will come and attack each other after collecting #2k from politicians.

Those you are fighting for are always together and attending parties and clubs together.

Only Peter Obi is different, we will vote for Peter Obi.

Tinubu is the problem of the south

He thinks by hating on other southern tribes, the north will like him but he's been disappointed countless times

They are being humble for now cos their Cash aren't working for them

I agree. His only campaign method is to stir tribal hate and keep the people of the south fighting each other.

Exactly what everyone is saying here in South West. This desperate man has betrayed the south countless times but our joy is that he will be retired by Obi this Saturday.

I can bet more than 5 of those vehicles in Ganduje's convoy thought Dawisu's convoy was one of their party's and only greeted because the ones in front greeted

You are right . Na tinumbu want to take over anambra by all means while running away from his area, lagos on every monday because of the fear of unknown gun men.

Na tinumbu always chest beating everywhere saying anambra is no mans land.
Some people eyes will soom clear.

It is a good thing kano votes would be fragmented like bread soaked in water

Shout out to my guy Kwankwaso

Many CORNfused Batist and mikano boys have been hoping that Kwankwaso would step down for their candidate

But the guy has projected far already


If he dare steps down, this followers who are mainly the poor masses would see him as unreliable and would not follow him again

He is trying to solidify his base in the north and in subsequent elections he would come out fully

He didn't campaign in the south, heck! He picked an unknown person as VP who is a "pastor" with no political valve to show that he is "detribalized". The vp he picked is just symbolic nothing more

If there is a run off, he would become the bride of all political parties as everyone would be running after him.

Then he would be able to negotiate from an advantaged position and demand for very juicy positions for his people

If there is no run off, he would work harder to inherit votes than Buhari has left behind and consolidate his strong hold in the south

The only thing working against him would be his age so he would not wait till 2031 when it would be the north's turn officially

He would start in 2027

However, whether he is eating yam because of oil or eating oil because of yam, I am happy his permutations is favourable to Obi

Obidogs? Politics without bitterness?
You are talented in comedy

Obidogs are so violent, they behave as if they are possessed by competing demons.

Lol.. United in power/embezzlement but diverse in development and growth

Okay na

You guys are now helpless!
All these won't save Obi from national and international disgrace on Saturday.

Herd mentality



You really understand it well well.

In politics, there's no permanent friend or enemy.

They have a great family. I met his brother, he speaks facts too

Leave them.



They already making excuses.

Because they have stolen more than enough....

Lol.


Meanwhile small fry would kill themselves over who is voting who.

Nothing like differences in political parties, race,tribe or color in this world.

The only difference that exist is between those that 'HAVE' and the 'HAVE NOT'


Once a rich Yoruba man meet a rich Hausa or Igbo man, they become good friends.
