Interesting! But do they have to lie just to prove a point? I'm getting tired of their lies and emotional instability.

PMB respects the VP a lot. PMB with his military background does not joke with protocol. What is the problem of these people sef?

Wetin Osinbajo do una?

GoggleB:
Supreme Court orders appeal to continue

Good. The case is frivolous. They are just using the loopholes in our judicial process to stall, though I'm no fan of the PDP but the circumvention of the judicial process should not be encouraged by any.

Interesting, different analysis about this Ondo polls. make una continue analysis, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Aketi is forming the next govt in Ondo state.

OAUTemitayo:
Evidence that exists only in the figments of your imagination.
You and your Abuja traitors will be used to mop the floor on Saturday.
Eyin Odale dede yi

You are really angry oh. Don't be too bitter, its a political civil war, we'll still embrace afterwards.

OAUTemitayo:
Can you see how you are ridiculing yourself?
Tinubu is corrupt but you have no evidence against him!
Even if you like be a based in Daura man, you, Fashola, Fayemi, Amosun and the bad market that was rebranded by Tinubu would be trashed and dusted on this Saturday.

I said the man is greedy. And evidence abound to that.

Ok then, lets wait till Saturday. Please I don't want to hear whinings of 'the election was rigged!'. Because that is what most people exhibiting your traits usually say when their preferred candidate eventually loses.

OAUTemitayo:
The fictitious names have already been proven by the appeal committee set up by APC to investigate the petition of the other aspirants.
But adabuja deres like you used another 5 over 6 to override their decision.
Tinubu this, Tinubu that, yet you people were a consistent failure until he stepped in.
Posterity will judge you all.
Write down today's date!
APC will lose in Ondo. Simple as ABC.

Posterity will equally judge all you advocates of greedy Tinubu!

Tinubu wouldn't have had any issues with his proteges and partners if not for his greedy and overbearing nature.

Tinubu should be satisfied with his successes and not try to push himself overboard, otherwise e te ni o ma ba nibe.

Tinubu as the last standing opposition during the AD/PDP period was able to use his resources to propel the opposition back to their feet. That your propelled the opposition back to their feet does not mean you should Lord over them.

That you assisted someone to a position of authority does not mean you should Lord over the person and not allow the person exercise the authority associated with his position.

That Tinubu was the only one with the financial resources then to embark on a political guerrilla battle does not mean the situation is same today. Other young Turks are coming up, and the greedy and pushy nature of Tinubu will always work against him.

Post 1999 and pre 2003, Tinubu and the likes of Akande, Lam, Adefarati, Adebayo, Osoba were on same pedestal. You guys should stop over hyping Tinubu.

Which 5 over 6 are you talking about? Unfounded 5/6??

APC will not lose Ondo. Though based in Lagos and very familiar with the shenanigans of Tinubu, I am also very conversant with Ondo politics. Just watch and see.

Tinubu is on an ego run in Ondo state and he needs to cool down, otherwise he will be embarrassed eventually and equally give some children of anger occasion to laugh at awon Omo kaaro ojire.

jumpandpas:
You that is not naive, in 1984 whose mess was Buhari clearing that plunged Nigeria into recession

Shagari's mess.

iokpebholo:
well if u say so but u know having bubu as president is d greatest mistake in africa

Of the two major candidates put forward, PMB was the better option.

PMB is the president and he will never be a puppet of Tinubu. PMB has already differed to him on a lot of fronts. The success or failure of the administration solely rests on PMB. It is his name that will resounds in history for years to come.

Tinubu should quit this mentality of a partner president. There can never be two masters in a ship.

ayokellany:
Buhari obviously now owns a fortress filled with sycophants. I hope it is not too late when it finally dawn on him.

Dawn on him that...

OAUTemitayo:
Who are the we you are referring to
So Tinubu is now not democratic
Traitors flock together.
So it is democratic to insert fictitious names into delegates list?
That is your own democracy
You and your ade Abuja deres will be surprised this Saturday.
Aketi can only be the Governor of Owo.
Tinubu is now overbearing, when he was taking the risks he was not overbearing.
Buhari that was not sellable became a hot deal.
Aye ma le o.

Tinubu's acclaimed democratic tendencies is a farce. Tinubu is not democratic, he is a smooth manipulator. He is only democratic when it is beyond his powers to manipulate the process, or its certain his candidates will sail through.

Even the Ondo primary in question, Tinubu tried to manipulate it using cash, it's just Abraham that messed up and didn't release all the cash for the election. I'm telling you from an insider's point of view. Go and ask all the people close to Tinubu in a free speech environment, they will confirm his domineering and manipulative tendencies to you.

How come it's so difficult for you guys to prove the fictitious names and show same to the whole world. It's only on gossip lips we are hearing this online and on the pages of newspapers. Please show evidence of same or leave it.

This will not be the first time that a pre-election issue will be confronted in Nigeria. If they are so sure of this fictitious issues, let them support Abraham in court instead of forming smart. I also supported Abraham but moved on after he lost. Abraham is in court to reclaim his 'alledged' mandate. Let them support him instead of this political experiment and investment.


Tinubu invested in PMB, you are correct, but he is becoming insatiable. One man alone cannot have his way all the time. A lot of Tinubu's proteges has been appointed by PMB, he should take a chill if some others were put on hold by PMB for now.

Bookmark this post against next Monday. Aketi will be Ondo governor.

Oke is just like Mimiko. Ondo state peeps are tired of such fellows. He is not a core progressive. If not for Tinubu's vindictive nature and just to prove a point, he was not supposed to support him.

CzarChris:
Let me agree with you on this, but the entire country is suffering this hardship called recession. GEJ planned a budget of 4trillion naira and the country was sailing smoothly. Buhari put up a budget of over 6trillion naira, and people are dying everyday of hunger and millions more a packing from the cities back to the village. My question is this. If Orubebe was doing this for his pocket and succeeded, won't you have preferred to be able to thrive and grow to what is currently going on in the country? (that's assuming you are in Nigeria)

Your assertions are simplistic and naive. There is always a cause and effect. The economy of the nation was already spiralling down before GEJ left, and was one of the reasons he lost reelection. Unimaginable, the FG even borrowed to pay salaries before he left. PMB though also made some mistakes, but is encumbered in trying to clear the mess of the past administrations.

iokpebholo:
Asiwaju bola tinubu is one politician I respect so much,not cos am a supporter of APC but cos of d way he was able to bring up political champions like fashola and ambode.d only mistake he has made in his political life is supporting uncle bubu for president

His mistake is greed and penchant to dominate others. Supporting PMB is not a mistake. Anybody is free to support whoever they believe in, so also you.

OAUTemitayo:
Bro, by the special grace of Almighty God, we will teach APC a bitter lesson in Ondo state.
While we keep supporting Buhari in governance, we aggressively fight his alignment in anything politics in South West.
As for Fashola, Fayemi and Amosun, I pity them.
Their political downfall will be a movie without title. They won't know what hit them.
Oke is Okay.

In contrast, Tinubu will be taught a bitter lesson during this Ondo polls.

Oga, Tinubu is the one propping Oke forward, and Ondo people don't really like Tinubu. We don't like God Fatherism.

Akeredolu is just the best as he has told Tinubu off. He will be free to perform optimally without any Lagos encumbrances.

Tinubu has become a liability than an advantage and any candidate he supports carries the risk of being rejected by the people except if there is no viable option.

He is trying to use Oke and AD to prove a political point of his relevance and political marketability, that he can deliver in whatever circumstances; and he will definitely fail.

He is too greedy and domineering. It is in the interest of the nation to have such greedy politicians relegated. Otherwise they will continually manipulate the democratic process to their advantage.

He has made so much money from politics, he is now embarking on using those money to sustain his grip on the political structure in the SW. After successfully putting Lagos under his grip, you cannot imagine the things Tinubu alone owns in Lagos.

He wants to be the only one to dictate who gets whatever in the SW. He has already achieved that in Lagos, he is the one who gets to decide who gets whatever position from local govt chairman, to House of Rep, Senator and Governor. He has also extended his tentacles to other SW states and the FG.

At the FG level, PMB has already made some concessions to him, but trust the greedy politician that he is, he definitely wants more. He wants to be the one dictating and propping people up. That should never be allowed to happen in any sane society.

That in itself is not democratic. Tinubu does not believe in majority carries the say, except if it is in his own interests. If he sees the handwriting on the wall of things not going his way, he will deplore the financial and human resources he gained from politics to manipulate the process. He delights in outwitting others, but cries fowl and becomes vindictive and unforgiving if outfoxed.

I initially supported him on the Saraki and Dogara issue until I realised the danger Tinubu's domineering attitude portends to the nation. Despite being pushed up by Tinubu, Oyegun has also come to observe his insatiable appetite for having his way always, and has gotten tired of him.

Tinubu should go and sit down abeg. It's unfortunate that desperation of Oke has led him to Tinubu's side. Oke is supposed to have maintained his party the PDP initially.

Aketi is going to be the next governor of Ondo state.

We don't want a governor that will make unnecessary concessions to Tinubu. Tinubu should be satisfied with what he presently controls.

It is getting more obvious that Akeredolu is going to win this election.

With Jegede out of the way and Oke in the race, all the permutations have been seriously distorted.

Ondo South
Oke will win South, Jimoh will act as a spoiler here, reducing his winning margin. Aketi becos of his deputy will also clinch at least one local government. Both Aketi and Jimoh because of their party structure on ground will not allow any manipulation in favour of Oke. His winning numbers will thus not be massive.

Ondo North
Akeredolu will win Ondo North. AD though a known name in Ondo North politics does not have enough structure to secure the votes of Ondo North. Same for Agunloye. In Nigeria's election, apart from canvassing for votes, you also need to jealously guard the votes like an eagle guarding her chicks. This is where AD is going to have a serious set back. But Oke will still do well in the Akoko areas, but the massive wins from Owo and Ose will deliver this senatorial district to Aketi.

Ondo Central
All the 3 major candidates/parties will have a good showing here and the results will be too close to call.

There is going to be a lot of dog fights in this senatorial district.
Ondo township will record low turnout due to the issues PDP is experiencing.

At the end, Aketi will edge a very narrow victory.


Aketi's victory in the North, and narrow victory in the central will make him the next governor of the state. People are free to bookmark this post against poll results next Sunday.

Suurulere:
Whether good or bad, once a President, forever a President. If you are to address him, you won't say "former President Jonathan" but "Mr President" or "Your Excellency". The topic is a noun, the body of the write-up is an adjective.

Nobody is talking about good or bad here. There can only be one President in Nigeria at a time. All the others are Ex-President.

Calling him His Excellency is very correct and different from calling him Mr President.

There is no where in the world where an Ex-president is referred to as Mr President.

Billyonaire:
I do not care if Tinubu is a crackhead.

One thing I know is that without Tinubu, there would have been no President Buhari and no one would have known Oyegun or whatever his name is.

We understand that Tinubu is an eternal glutton, he wants to nominate and control all the APC governors so he can force them to use Alpha Beta to milk their citizens for his personal gains.

What I am basically saying is: Tinubu needed not to be betrayed and made to look stupid, and Buhari as a benefactor of Tinubu's goodwill would have made sure Tinubu is there, or be reconciled. I expected Buhari at his age to be wiser, but it seems old age and wisdom are not really siamese twins as we were made to believe.

Oyegun was a former Governor. It was his credentials that appealed to Tinubu that made him push him forward.

Tinubu has a domineering attitude. There can never be two masters in a ship. Buhari has already differed to him on a lot of issues. I think it's time Tinubu starts differing to PMB as well.

A Nigerian president posseses enormous powers and cannot be controlled by anyone.

Even sickly Yara'dua that was handpicked by Obj, Obasanjo tried but was unable to control him.

Same with meek Jonathan, despite his meekness, Obj and all others were no able to control him.

Tinubu will be living in fool's paradise if he thinks he can make PMB do his wish all the time just because he was instrumental to PMB's election victory.

TonyeBarcanista:
Thanks for the post @OP... I'll reply from the logical perspective and not as a politician.

Firstly, Buhari will seek reelection in 2019, there is no two ways about this.

Secondly, though PDP would pick a northerner, the trick is now "who is the person"?. should PDP pick a wrong candidate, it will be a tough one for the party.

Thirdly, which is very important, the so-called third force that is brewing could cause an upset if they come up with formidable team.

Now let's talk about regions:

The Northwest states of Kano would easily go for Buhari but the popularity of a northern candidate from PDP will determine the degree to which Buhari will sweep Kano. Also don't forget that some Sai Baba faithfuls are already disappointed, and the motivation to vote Baba wouldn't be as it was in 2015.

As for other states in the Northwest, what will determine whether Buhari will win or lose is the candidate from the region. It is on record that Buhari has NEVER defeated a northern candidate in some parts of NW like Katsina and Kaduna States. Northeast is a swinging region! While Buhari won Adamawa in 2007, he lost same state to Jonathan in 2011 but reclaimed the state in 2015. A second swinging state is Gombe! Perhaps Bauchi might go for Buhari but to what degree?

The battle ground is the North central and Southwest. Buhari won NC for the first time since his foray in politics in 2015! With the anger over his nonchalant attitude towards herdsmen, his mal performance among many, he will most likely lose the region should opposition present formidable team. He has never had cult following in the NC.

As for the SW, this is a region that Buhari has never won in his life prior to 2015 when SW leaders packaged him. His fall out with the SW leader would work against him especially at a period when his performance is almost zero. I pity him because the Fasholas and co that have no electoral value will push him to his disgrace just as Jonathan's SW men pushed him. The only thing that will save Baba is IF he performs or if the opposition present someone worse than him.

Tinubu does not have electoral value. He is a self-centred politician. If he thinks he has electoral value, then let him come out and contest for President.

Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan GCFR BNER GCON (born
20 November 1957) is the former President of Nigeria, having served from 2010 to 2015. He served as Vice President of Nigeria from 2007 to 2010 and as Governor of
Bayelsa State from 2005 to 2007.

He contested and lost the 2015 presidential election, upon
which he conceded defeat and became the first sitting

of Nigeria ended on 29 May 2015, with Muhammadu Buhari
becoming the new president.

In your topic you put President Jonathan, in the body of your write-up, you put 'former'.

You better adjust your topic to 'Ex-president before DSS visits you for treason'.

Happy birthday to him anyways.

devilson:
as we moving forward to 2019 politicians are already aligning together nd making move especially apc nd pdp.

if buhari should not contest in 2019 apc would nominate a northerner nd pdp Are gonna nominate a northerner.
the candidate of both party would share the votes up north(especially in ne nd nw) but in north central due to fulani mayhem nd failure of buhari(ruling president under apc) pdp would likely win the middle belt.
the s.west gave buhari 60% in 2019( the south west vote av always been split except when gej had 82% in 2011) .due to the beef between tinubu nd buhari nd hardship in the land buhari would struggle to have 30% in s.west if things continue like this,forget all this nairaland rant by some people.

in ss/se we all know apc Is not even an option in this region cause they would never win here even if they rig.if apc picks el rufai He would worsen there chance of winning cause he his a first class bigot.

pdp would likely pick lamido/ peter obi so they really stand a chance if the election is not rigged.


note: to all those who thinks apc stand a chance in s.west.

is it fayemi that could not win his ward during his governorship relection that would deliver ekiti to buhari.fayose gave him 16-0 back to back.

is it fashola that tinubu made governor that would deliver Lagos.tinubu Is the political god of Lagos

or Is it amosun that struggled to win election in ogun until tinubu came to his rescue that would deliver ogun likewise amosun.amosun that people are cursing now in oyo.

except apc rig 2019 election they can't win nd if they rig they would only make people see pdp under gej as the lesser devil nd they won't be able to speak Ill of pdp as they use too


by the way I won't be voting coming 2019,I av decided not to vote for a northerner

My analysis us based on PMB recontesting as the body language of Oyegun suggests.

What happened to all the analysis before the 2015 elections? All the analysis that were used to deceive Gej to release billions for election.

Buhari will easily win in the NW and NE if he recontests. And with heavy votes, notwithstanding his Northerner opponent.

The same way a lot of online analysts concluded that Buhari will not win the Middle belt in 2015 due to boko haram and Fulani herdsmen but he still went ahead and won. If he recontests, he will still win the NC by at least 55%.

The SW is not predictable for now. Buhari still commands good followership here in contrast to your assertions. PMB's performance in the next two years will determine his eventual fate here, and not Tinubu. A good population of Yorubas strongly believe that the economic challenges of today is a fallout of Gej's mismanagement. You can carry out an independent survey.

The electoral value of Tinubu in the Southwest is overrated. If Buhari has chosen Tinubu as his running mate in 2015, he would have lost. Even in Lagos, people are getting tired of Tinubu's overbearing attitude.

The SE is predictable, they will never vote a Buhari.

In 2019, don't be surprised to see PMB perform better than he did in 2015 in the SS states.

1. Anti corruption crusader. Firm leader.
2. Weak leader, who ran the country aground due to selfish compromises for 2nd term.

Akeredolu is going to steal a close win in Ondo state.

onomeasike:
Yeah. You are correct. You know there's an airforce barracks just around the corner, probably they are pushing the bus all the way there.

Yeah, Legico.

The exercise is good for them

onomeasike:
This happened in broad daylight this afternoon .Nigerian airforce officers pushing their official bus on the popular Adeola Odeku street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
I was wondering if this is a drill or the perennial problem of poor management of resources released to the Armed Forces led by the disgraced Air Marshall Alex Badeh. Seeing expatriates watching our officers pushing their bus in their full military uniform in broad daylight is really an embarrassment to the nation. Air Force officials should fix their buses and stop embarrassing the nation joor.

I sight Sapetro Towers.

talktonase:
APC haff scatter...

And how should one describe the PDP?

Tinubu should take a chill abeg. You carnot have it your way every time.

Akeredolu is the next governor of Ondo state. No doubt about that.

Must everybody in governance in the South West be a product of Tinubu? Tinubu already has his tentacles over Lagos and some South West states, he should be contented with that.

His association with Akeredolu during the last Ondo polls made Akeredolu looks like his godson and people refused to vote for him because of that.

If Akeredolu decides to go on his own this time around, people should let him be abeg.

This guy was strategically sidelined. let him keep hopes alive and come back in 4 year's time.

Una never know anything. You people better go and democratically settle Sherif and Makarfi wahala, and let each side stop claiming right.

It's good to support the party and candidate of your choice, but please don't make it a bitter affair.

Noneroone:
you just agreed with me that ironsi left the regions intact but gowon broke it down thereby violating the federal structure. Other things you are talking are not relevant

Oga the first person that violated the Federal Structure is Aguiyi Ironsi with his decree.

That decree of his which collapsed the entire Federal structure was seriously despised by the northerners.

I don't understand why you guys like re-writing history.

All of a sudden, you are claiming it's Gowon that collapsed the Federal structure. Haba. You people should fear God na.

Ironsi decree is now non-existent right?

All other actions which resulted in the balkanization of the regions followed the pace set by Ironsi. The regions may be existing, but they were just like states, and reporting to the central govt.

End of story.

Noneroone:
Ironsi did not abolish regions. The three regions were intact. It was gowon who arbitrarly desolved the federation and created new state without any referendum what so ever as. Infact he declared nigeria a unitary state which effectively started the war.

Were intact but spineless? And everybody reports to the central govt. What is the difference?? Gowon only broke them down to more manageable units.

Don't let us deceive ourselves, Gowon merely completed what was already started by Ironsi. The unitary system started from Ironsi. Don't try and paint it what it's not, and then jump to Gowon to give him all the blames.
