CaptainFM1:
All of you are just talking rubbish! Nigerian politics is all about who hits/penetrates the locals most. They are the ones that vote now. Most of us that have data and can surf Nairaland don't even go out to vote. A good case is yesterday's Abuja's local elections.

Smart political candidates know this and they go for the locals through their traditional rulers. Not us average citizens that only bark on social media. When they say they are consulting, you can see them going straight to the locals through their traditional rulers.

All politics like they say are local.

This is another nice angle to the debate. Probably the reason Tinubu the astute politician he is, is now moving from one Oba to the other.

Interesting comment and perspectives so far.
But I doubt if any Governor (esp) APC will back anyone right now. They are all waiting to see who Buhari's annointed candidate will be.

Truthisunique2:
tinubu dey one chance, he can't form another party or remove acn because he would be going back to his local regional politics

He can't have a deal with pdp atiku because pdp government is a broad government of all regions not the hausa/Yoruba get slot party

So his best option would be to swallow his pride and work with amaechi to share power

Amaechi may agree but I see amaechi dumping him later after using him

Mind you tinubu knows buhari has his own agenda and is using him since, but just as he couldn't back out then, he can't now

You are 100% correct.
Except if Tinubu has a joker up his sleeve cos without Buhari's backing, all he has built and worked for politically will go down the drain. The likes of Fashola and Aregbesola will dump him without blinking twice.
Interesting days ahead.

Amaechi has what it takes to challenge Tinubu and even make some changes in Nigeria if he becomes the President. He, in my opinion is better than Tinubu and Osinbajo.

But how will Tinubu react? Will he form another party? Buhari, Amaechi and most of them in APC have a political career thanks to Tinubu.

If he forms a new party and Amaechi defeats him, he will likely start asking for Yoruba nation.
Calculations, calculations calculations.

Interesting days ahead Sha.

Question: Has Osinbajo fixed the economy like they said he was going to?

Answer: No!

Honestly he seems more capable the ticks almost all the boxes. He's the only one out of all the prospective candidate that might have the will face the cabal. Better than Tinubu, better than Atiku.

The same Anyim that was always dozing off at important functions when he was SSG?
That same Pius?

Whether na Atiku, Tinubu or Even Amaechi become the next President, na the common man go still loose.

No be Okorocha dey erect statue everywhere that year?

Keyamo my man before before... always fighting for human right but now can not speak the truth.. money and change people

Person wey get food for mouth no dey talk.

Like play, like play, Tinubu is slowly but steadily loosing his grip on APC.

Or Obi dumped Atiku.
Obi is a Presidential Candidate material not V.P.
He is better than Atiku and Wike put together.
I don't just understand why he's relunctawnt to contest.

You guys should leave Jaganban alone.
That was how Joe Biden ran his campaign from Abuja too.

She should be arrested.[color=#000099][/color]

No be lie. Nowadays when I run into my old school mates, voice and their names I dey take recognize Dem. Even the male.

So, today is the day the Super Eagles gets infected with "change" virus.
Sad.

Someone said madness is doing the same over and over again and expecting a different result.
Why can't Nigerians see beyond APC and PDP? Dem use suffer swear for us?

amnesty7:

The man is serious o.... Even his opponents and haters must secretly admire his determination in the pursuit of this goal of his.

Honestly one can't help but admire his preparation. Atiku and the rest are playing it safe. Tinubu has been preparing for this moment since 1999.
He is going to be Nigeria's next President.
Except...

IvarDboneless:
Great Nigerian youth this is the only opportunity we have to phase out this old and good for nothing politicians, tribalism and religion aside just like we trended the END SARS matter can we solidly campaign for this great autocrats to pilot this great nation to its promise lands we know they may not be 100% perfect but atleast they can align with the rapid development of the western world and take us half to the promise land..who is with me on this I will lead from the front.. lets start with twitter.
Akinwunmi Adeshina for president and Peter Obi for Vice.

Why do we keep casting Peter Obi in the role of a VP.
He is good enough to be a President.
Better than Akinwunmi Ishola if I am to say.

This is the reason Tinubu remains the candidate to beat in 2023.
He understands the long game.
He took his time to strengthen himself politically.
Dele might make a good President but, it does not work like that in Nigeria.

Welcome to Nigeria.
A country where using Twitter is a privilege.

Take it or leave it. Once the Igbos enter a business, they modernize it, take over it and take it to the next level.
If the hausa do not behave themselves, the Igbos will run them out of the cattle rearing bix.

Dead on Arrival?
Tinubu still remains the candidate to beat.

Let's assume with Buhari's backing the North votes for Tinubu. How will he win in the SE? How about SW? Apart from Osun and probably rigging in Lagos I don't see him winning any other SW state. How will he do it?
Nevertheless his Political journey and gimmicks from 1999 till date should be recorded and studied by generations unborn.

Na Breakfast - e go reach everybody last, last.

I wonder who this Igboho's lawyer is really working for.

Most talked about politician? E no go pass Tinubu.

DopeKitchenNg:
IMOO, President Buhari is his only opposition. If President Buhari should decide to be neutral, then no solid opposition is viable.

True. Very True

Yes there are serious questions about his age? Where he originates from? His drug peddling connections
Corruption? Except for the bullion vans, I don't think there is any reasonable case against him. If there is Obadanjo and Jonathan would have jailed him. They tried, but they couldn't build a case against him.
Tinubu still seems the most prepared. He's been preparing for this moment since 1999. He's busy building bridges, mending fences and getting stronger every single day. There's no real opposition to him becoming the next President of Nigeria.
Sad to say he does not have the solution to Nigeria's problem. (For example his solution to unemployment is that youths should join the military.)

2023 is getting closer all Politicians are now "technically divorcing" themselves from GMB.
One of them was on the radio this morning saying Tinubu is the one that will rescue Nigerians from hardship and slavery. The host asks: "are you saying that Nigerians are suffering under the current dispensation"?

Peter Obi is a better candidate.
