This is a very important question. Tinubu claimed to have gotten substantial votes from the north, the South West and the South South.

Abuja is the true capital of Nigeria, where all the major and minor ethnic groups are heavily represented. So really, Abuja is the truest microcosm of Nigeria.

If someone claimed to have won a nationwide election in Nigeria, why couldn't he get ordinary 25% in Abuja? What is the sensible and logical explanation for that?
There was no Governor to rig Abuja for him. His major strategy was using the Governors to rig in their states for him. He didn't have that kind of leverage in Abuja, so he lost woefully

I've said that most of you are senseless. If the same PDP you claimed inhabits most of Abuja, how come they also failed to make the 25% mark?. Nigerians don't trust Tinubu and it is evident.

As in. The kind of perverse logic these people deploy to defend nonsense is totally shocking. Just imagine!

But he didn't have a sympathetic governor in Benue, yet he managed to do some magic there an purportedly 'won' Benue. How?

I think the governor angle is only a fraction of the story. It is not the compete story.

Throwing words like hogwash around doesn't prove that you are sensible. Lagos is more representative than what? So that Yoruba ethnic militants would come out and shout themselves hoarse that Lagos is Yoruba land, that others should "go and vote in Anambra", bla bla. So Lagos is only "representative" when it suits your purpose?

Abuja is the only truly representative microcosm of Nigeria because no one can claim any stupid ethnic 'ownership' of the territory, not even the aboriginal Gbagyi people. It is the only truly and constitutionally designated 'no man's land'. Everyone is heavily and rightfully represented there. If you claim to have won a national election but couldn't get a quarter of the votes in Abuja, then you're deceiving yourself.

Your brain is infested with worms. FCT Abuja is also no man's land? I wonder how y'all reason. Nothing special in Abuja and the court will prove that.

BUT Obidient claim Nigerians are in support of Peter Obi.

Why couldn't he get 25% in 5 out of 6 Southwestern state.

Almost no vote atall in the entire Northwest and NorthEast.

Unknown in Kogi, Niger, Kwara in Northcentral. Couldnt even make 10%, talkmore of 25%.


Since 'Nigerians' are angry he lost according to you guys. Are the people from Southwest, Northwest, Northeast, Northcentral ( Kogi, Niger, Kwara) from Lake chad ?



Dem too dull. Very dull things

The same reason he didn't win in Lagos despite MASSIVE rigging . He still lost Lagos.

Think about that for a second...

Obi is a former governor of Anambra state and the sitting governor there didn't support him, and yet he won Anambra.

Kwankwaso is former governor of Kano state, and the sitting governor didn't support him, and yet he won Kano.

Tinubu is a former governor of Lagos state, and the sitting governor supported him massively, and yet he still lost in Lagos!

There is something his fellow Lagosians know about him that made them vote against him.

This fact alone should keep Nigerians awake at night.

So do we assume he got fair votes from Benue? Or was the magic performed at the collation centers?

With the look of things, if there is a rerun in this past election, Obi will lose in all the south west states and majorly in the north too.

most young people chanting about obi are majorly southeast....i havent seen anyone here in the north talking about Obi, they are just one way traffic.

those that voted for Obi in the south west regretted doing so just because of the way South east handled things.....

you dont enforce candidates on people

Whatever figures he got in the aforementioned States were rigged. Deal with it! The old druggie couldn't even make 25% in his Lagos if not for massive rigging and intimidation. The only places he could've gotten real votes were in core South Western States... Any other place outside of that was pure rigging.

If you believe Tinumbu got more than 10,000 votes in Rivers State, then I can't help your matter. The same template was used nationwide. Abuja failed them

Okay nah.

If you concerntrate on your life the way you have concerntrated on Tinubu, then you will not be begging for food.

You're one to speak? Your account exists only to pick crumbs from this grossly ineffectual government by spreading propaganda. Is that what you were born for? Is that your purpose in life?

That's because you rigged election against him in the southwest and also deceived people with tribalism.

People in Niger and kwara behave as if they are more Muslim than Mohammed. So, they will naturally vote against anything not a Muslim.

That's why saraki's father pretended to be a Muslim to win their votes.

People of kwara are mumu for Islam and Peter Obi isn't a Muslim

The questions is why did Tinubu rigg to lose in Abuja and Lagos what point was he trying to prove to Obedient.
Why will anyone have the power to rigg and the person will decide to lose in his strongholds, would anyone have doubted if Tinubu won lagos or in Abuja. what is the logical explanation for that?

Obi lost the election pure and simple. Abuja is a cosmopolitan place where most of the people are angry with the status quo and how Buhari has performed. They voted overwhelmingly for LP as a form of protest. The same thing happened in Lagos.

I see some of our pained brethren saying there was no governor to rig it for Tinubu in Abuja but I thought they had always said it was inec that rigged the election. Why are they saying governors now?

The collation centres are probably where a lot happened. Coupled with the back end ICT operations. But whatever it is, there's need to investigate and determine how this man supposedly 'won' the national election without managing to get a mere 25% in the micro national Abuja.

At least my brain can be dewormed. You obviously have no brain at all, so you're hopeless. Throwing insults around without offering a sensible argument only buttresses this fact.

This no man's land matter can vex some of you nitwits. Why is Abuja not a no man's land in the loosely defined context in which we use the term? Who owns Abuja? Tell me nonsense about the aboriginal Gbagyis. .

If you're not brainless you would know why it is constitutionally designated a Federal Capital Territory and not a state.

Very simple.

There is a lot of anti-government sentiment in Abuja.

LP and Obi also sold themselves as the messiah.

Lastly, Religious warfare as deployed by Obi campaign was effective in Abuja among the Christian indigenes and migrants.

So evidently it became a stronghold of LP just like the SouthEast.

Alas, not enough for Obi to win like Tinubu who had a more national appeal across a broader geography.
Even with tinubu Muslim Muslim ticket
