The government is not focused on the substance of the case as they have nothing to hold against him. The focus is rather on keeping him away from the 2027 conversation because Tinubu himself knows the capacity of Elrufai to unmake him as president. The ingrates and betrayers will be taught bitter political lessons come 2027.

A president who weakly declares in the open that the insecurity in the country is as a result of his opponents trying to get rid of him cannot inspire confidence in his troops. That was a cliché that was being bandied about by his lackeys but hearing it from his own mouth leaves a lot to be desired. He went further to declare himself as a stubborn politician who refuses to go away. Well, if Nigerians reject you at the polling unit come 2027, you will either go away or get the Laurent Gbagbo treatment.

Big trouble in little Tokyo. APC is facing serious internal crisis in Kwara that if not well managed, will see the state slip away from their grasp.

Winning is material. Tinubu is the only candidate who would be competitive in every region. Any region he is not winning he is going to be second

Just like in 2023

Yet he won with less than 2 million votes and with the North giving him 65% of his total votes. Tinubu was very popular in the North in 2023, can you say the same today?

raumdeuter:
Tinubu will win the Southwest decisively

Many of those who fell for the LP propaganda in 2023 have now seen the light

Winning is immaterial. What will be his margin of victory? He cannot win the Southwest in a landslide.

As I have always maintained, the Southwest remains the most dynamic region in terms of voting pattern, only next to the Northcentral. Unfortunately for Tinubu, that is his only base. Votes will be split here, and even if Tinubu ends up with the highest votes cast here, it won't amount to much.

I thought Akpabio and Bamidele said Kawu Samaila got a 60 billion naira ecological contract from Tinubu and so he shouldn't be seen talking against Tinubu. Why has his utterrances and posture been pro-opposition lately? We will all learn politics together.

Even the thread topic was compromised by the Mods to look favourable to the APC. Meanwhile, the same mod never fails to push anti-oppossition threads "as is" to the front page. Such bias is becoming unbecoming, and Seun needs to rein some of his mods in.

I shame for Oyo people. How is it business as usual when you know over 200 of your people are in captivity.
Same goes for everyone else in the country. How are you sleeping at night when you know you can be next?

"I will put fire in their states" - Obia Akpor Ghengis Khan

Isn't it curious that the incident in Oyo took place after Governor Seyi Makinde declared his presidential ambition? He has now being handicapped and will be guilt-tripped if he attempts to embark on campaigns. The more you look, the less you see.

Basic123:
Polictics done do this one shege.

Na politics dem dey discuss here??

You should have posted it in the Religion section then.

Clearly, muslim-muslim ticket will still be a factor in 2027, contrary to what APC lackeys say. Tinubu's much touted in-road into the middlebelt and among Christian voters may be quickly eroded if he repeats the same ticket.

While some members of the APC were sincere about changing the status quo and bringing genuine change in 2015, others were jealous of the abuse of power, high-handedness and impunity displayed by Wike under the PDP and immediately co-opted him into their party as soon as they won in 2023. We are only now getting to know who is who.

Lithiumite:
I asked you to show us one place where igboho himself was brazenly preaching hate and armed separatist ambitions,you are showing me reportage of some people accusing him..

You are joking, right? Like I said, there was nothing Nnamdi Kanu did that Sunday Igboho did not do. One has been sent to prison, while the other is now Tinubu's campaign coordinator in the Southwest.

Lithiumite:
Show us one just one single statement where igboho called for the dismemberment of the country or where a cursed and abused other tribes or where he called for secession by force.....just one!

Am I even supposed to reply to this? So calling for seccession and "Yoruba nessan" is what? Amalgamation of the country? There is no difference between what Nnamdi Kanu did and what Sunday Igboho did except that Tinubu sided with his tribesman while sending Nnamdi Kanu to prison.

Lithiumite:
A very careless statement for obi to make, that statement alone has lost him huge non igbo votes,how can you come out to openly support a man that unequivocally called for an end to the country called Nigeria and declared violence against other tribes.....he denigrated every institution of authority and called men to arms at any practicable time possible.

Obi really gaffer on this,though was never going to vote him anyway but this right here has done more harm to his ambition.

Sunday Igboho did same but Tinubu has granted him pardon while he's now a member of the APC campaigning for Tinubu's re-election. Isn't that favoritism and tribalism in display? Even Waziri Atiku Abubakar will free Nnamdi Kanu on his first day in office because we can't have different punishments for the same offences.

We keep saying that Tinubu will still fail to win the Southwest in a landslide, just like in 2023. What will determine his fate will be the number of votes he gets from the North. Just like in 2023.

Akpakomiza2:
Obaseki failed because he has no capacity or popularity. Oshiomhole is a senator and delivered his district. Your Atiku lost the north to Tinubu. How many times will you bring this topic? Tinubu won and that closed the chapter, Atiku is a loser and will keep losing

Sanwo-olu failed to deliver Lagos because both himself and Tinubu lacked the capacity and popularity. True or false? Tinubu has the North to thank for his victory. He was totally flawed by Obi in the South. That is the point we are trying to make.

Akpakomiza2:
He delivered his senatorial zone, Obaseki who was the governor couldn't deliver his state for your Atiku.

I thought Tinubu was the Southern candidate? Why then did he fail to win Edo? You also told us governors will deliver their states because they are now in the APC. Can you kindly tell us why Obaseki failed to deliver his state to Atiku and why Jide Sanwo-olu also failed to do the same for Tinubu? I am waiting.

Bluna:
Despite being a Fulani and a northerner, Atiku still has a better chance of winning next election than any candidate from the southeast.

Since when did being a Fulani and a Northerner become a pariah? The Fulanis and Northerners made Tinubu president after he ran on muslim-muslim ticket in a quest to get their votes. They remain the largest voting bloc in the country. Obi would have been president today if he got 25% of the Fulani and Northern votes in 2023.

aswani:
I don't know what you are responding to but it certainty isn't my post.

By the way, President Tinubu didn't incarcerate anybody, the rule of law is slowly taking its course against an arrogant, entitled Fulani man. Hopefully, I will join Southern Kaduna people to rejoice whenhe gets his eventual comeuppance.

Anyway, Atiku is coming to win the elections ko, we look forward to him sorting out the security isdues

Was Tinubu aware of the Southern Kaduna people during the electioneering campaign when he was everywhere with Elrufai, publicly begging him to help make him president? "Dear brother Nosiru" was what he called him. No be una again?

Southern Kaduna has always had communal clashes dating back to the 80s. It was even one of the matters discussed at the Oputa panel. The Miss World and Sharia crisis also happened long before Elrufai became governor. Rather, it is on record that there was no religious clash between the Northern and Southern Kaduna while Elrufai was governor. What you had was the menace of bandits and herders and that is not peculiar to Kaduna alone. It happened in Zamfara, Benue, Katsina, Plateau, Niger, Kogi, Kwara, etc and continues to happen even today, although with much media suppression. You blame Elrufai for that of Kaduna but never did same to other governors until it recently happened in Oyo where you APC lackeys now try to blame Makinde. But governors are not in charge of security in theor states. That is the primary responsibility of the president.

aswani:
If saner climes where they don't joke with internal security and people can't play the Fulani card, El Rufai would be in jail if not executed for high treason. You dare to bug such a senior official and then open your mouth to say it expecting nothing to happen to you, what effontery?

Once more, President Tinubu is not my anything. He, like Atiku, El Rufai and Peter Obi should not be allowed to continue in Nigerian politics as they are part of a useless political class.

The Fulani terrorists didn't just spread to the South West, they have been using the 8 years of President Buhari ineffectivenesson on that front to act as sleeper cells. They are just been activated by certain politicians, from a place you and I know, as a result of oncoming elections.

This your time is a gentleman threat means nothing to anyone, you need to stop with it.

Okay, so since you have this information at your disposal, what is Tinubu doing about it. Was that the strategy he used against Jonathan with the Chibok girls while Shettima was governor of Borno state? Tell us more. Tinubu as C-in-C can declare a state of emergency in Rivers to suspend Fubara, deny him ticket and incarcerate Elrufai but he's suddenly powerless against his enemies using insecurity to discredit his government? The jokes write themselves.

shivisee:
Oga you are fooling yourself, has Tinubu ever tapped the state security lines that will warrant anybody arrest him, what will stop Buhari from arresting Tinubu if he ever dare tapped the national security chiefs phone, stop fooling yourself !

So the ICPC is detaining Elrufai for tapping the state security lines right? How exactly have they proved that he did so? By raiding his home and seeing flashdrives and bank tokens and calling them wire-tapping devices right? Noted.

aswani:
First off, I am not a President Tinubu anything so your last paragraph is superfluous.

Do you know what El Rufai said for him to end up where he was? How is such a thing that has to do with the national security risk bailable?

El Rufai failed a security assessment, maybe he should have handed Southern Kaduna Christians a bit better to pass it, which is where his bitterness came from. Why should the President override such?

So if CPC people behave badly, they should be untouched. Did the ACN people behave badly during President Buhari's regime? Some of those names you mentioned are suspected as being in bed with Fulani kidnappers and terrorists, the government should ignore that as they are CPC àbi?

Northerners are welcome to repay debts, quite frankly, no one is scared of those threats. It was during President Buhari's ineffectual regime that bandits became untouchable, some being seen in state government houses.

We know if Atiku wins, the Fulani terrorists menace would be worse and they will become untouchable again, especially going by his deleted tweet on Deborah Samuels.

Once more, making out the North gave President Tinubu x amount of votes might be factually true, but that was payback for what the Southwest gave President Buhari in order to dislodge PDP. I don't recollect people trying to beat President Buhari over the head on that like you are doing.

One other thing, Shettima refused his VP lodgings as he claimed without proof that it wadls bugged, if they remove him over that treachery, you will add him to your list of CPC people betrayed, forgetting conviniently that Osinbajo as VP served President Buhari faithfully.

Jokes on you. Elrufai was hounded at the airport upon his voluntary return to the country by the DSS. That was even before his interview that you all now latch onto. He is also currently being held by the ICPC. Is it the mandate of the ICPC to prosecute such? It has always been part of Tinubu's plans to remove Elrufai from the 2027 conversation because he lives in morbid fear of his capacity and that is not democracy. But time is a gentleman.

Atiku hasn't won but the Fulani menace has even gotten worse under your tin-god and they are now spreading into the SW while Matawalle, his minister of defence, calls for more prayers. Maybe he's just incompetent.

Now all his lackeys say is "hold your governors accountable". It will even get worse if state police comes into being because we may see an absolute dereliction of responsibility as regards to security by the FG.

Oshiomole couldn't deliver his state to Tinubu in 2023. Obi won Edo state.

shivisee:
Baba all these are junks you wrote are not reality of things but delusions , will it shock you that it’s the same northerners that asked Tinubu to arrest el rufia for over stepping his boundaries, the people that matters ,not rable rousers like your party ! Bookmark this page , Apc will domesticate the 2nd placed party with more than 2 million votes.

That says more about Tinubu than it says about the Northerners. If Aregbesola or Fayemi or even Osinbajo had asked Buhari to arrest and incarcerate Tinubu for their own selfish ambitions, would it say more about them or about Buhari if Buhari complies?

He is saying the bitter truth. The Southeast had the opportunity to get a foot in the door and launch into national prominence in 2027 by aligning with a huge section of the North in a coalition just like Tinubu did in 2015, but Obi choose to prioritise self-interest. In 2027, the region will go solo again and vote in isolation and then console themselves when they lose by saying they are the richest region, or that they are the only ones with the gift of identifying good leaders or another ridiculous self-consolation rhethoric. If the Southeast would not vote Atiku in 2027, they are better off voting Tinubu instead of voting in isolation. Another approach will be to spread their votes across different parties so they can have a stake in the eventual winner instead of backing the wrong horse in a one-way traffic.

aswani:
The reason the North gave him those votes was because he was in a Mega Party, the South West had also given their votes to President Buhari twice before as part of the formation of that party.

You are trying to make out that the North gave President Tinubu those votes without putting it in its proper context. That is quite wrong.

Don't forget President Buhari had been competing in CPC for a while and had failed.

I myself would be surprised if the current directionless opposition can beat President Tinubu. We shall see anyway.

Yes the SW gave Buhari 2.3m votes when the APC was formed and got repaid by the North. Under Buhari, Tinubu was also appointed the National Leader of the APC with Fowler, Dayo, Fashola, Aregbesola, and several other appointees from his camp. The SW also got Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Lagos-Ibadan Railway, Lagos International Airport terminal, Lagos-Badagry road, etc all completed by Buhari. How has Tinubu repaid the North? His first act as president was to betray Elrufai and he went further to incarcerate him for a bailable allegation. Next he followed with Kashim Imam, Malami, Ganduje, Badaru, Goje, etc. Virtually all APC members from the CPC bloc are also being witch-hunted and this happened immediately after Buhari’s sudden death. Northerners always repay their debts. Good or bad.

You are now relying on Tinubu's unprecedented interference and destruction of our democracy as a vehicle he will use to win re-election but you will be disappointed. Time is a gentleman.

It seems when this one runs out of FG's lobby money he will quickly release a post about Christian genocide as a reminder for reimbursement. It's a shakedown.

Don't let APC lackeys fool you. If elections were to hold today, Tinubu will lose. The Southwest is one of the most politically diverse region in the country, only next to the Northcentral and that is Tinubu's only base. In 2027, he will struggle in the Southwest, even worse than he did in 2023.

angelboy01:
The point is if Obi doesn't go for a second term, does that stop a southerner from contesting?

Buhari contested 4 times in a row. Sowere has been contesting since God knows when. Even now, there are Northerners and Southerners in the race across party lines and no one is asking them to step down. Anyone still talking about zoning outside of a party arrangement is either trying to be clever by half or politically naïve.

Counterigbolies:
u wrote off the same tinubu who won even when he was an ordinary citizen despite all odds against him?

U are just playing

He was only able to do so because the North came through for him and gave him 5.6m votes. He would have been toast as he was totally defeated by Obi across the South, including in Lagos. But today you try to sell Tinubu as one kind of unbeatable candidate who made himself president. Time is a gentleman.
