Oyebanji is afraid of Kayode Ojo contesting against him.

Just as Peter Mbah was afraid of Barth Nnaji contesting against him and Sheriff was afraid of Omo-Agege contesting against him. Tinubu is busy doing deals that only benefits him while sabotaging loyal party members across the states.

seunmsg:
That Enugu APC chairman that was making mouth in the morning can now go and rest. Peter Mbah is a done deal and Enugu is fully APC.

Like Enugu, like Delta, like Ekiti. Tinubu should continue undermining the party faithfuls that stuck with the party through thick and thin, in favour of poaching incumbents for solely his own selfish interest. In the end, it will cost him because the new entrants will have a hard time convincing their followers to support Tinubu while the older APC adherents become aggrieved and unenthusiastic in supporting his re-election. As far as Tinubu is concerned, every other politician's ambition is expendable except his. He thinks Nigeria is Lagos.

P.S: Below video is why APC got scared and disqualified Engr. Kayode Ojo. Man has more clout and popularity in Ekiti than Oyebanji, apparently.

If a report is favourable, it is embraced and trumpeted. If unfavourable, it's vehemently rejected no matter the credibility of the source. Meanwhile, Nigerians are being force-fed with fake statistics while the reality on ground says otherwise.

It was only a matter of time before Wike's garrulous demeanour clashes with Tinubu's fragile ego. A man who has a dedicated anthem specifically crafted for sycophants to sing his praises at every twist and turn will not stand any other person seeking to take attention away from him. Not to talk of a minister who now seems to have difficulty distinguishing between his role as minister and the office of the president just because he helped rig the election in his state. These are just the beginning of things to come between the pair. This relationship of two strange bedfellows is headed for the rocks after the 2027 election.

Akwa Ibom is a done deal for Tinubu already. The same way Atiku won the state in 2023 is the same way Tinubu will win the state in 2027. The margin will just be better than that of Atiku.

Bookmarked! Come to think of it, it's ironic that the ones who couldn't deliver their states to Tinubu in 2023 are the loudest in the administration today. With the noise emanating from Akpabio and Umahi, one would think APC won their state in the presidential election. Akpabio had to even beg the governor then to let him retain Ikot Ekpene in the LG election. Tinubu cannot win Akwa ibom state. Umahi couldn't deliver Tinubu in Ebonyi as a sitting governor but he delivered Nwifuru. Ever bothered to ask why?

Don't worry yourself, Worldbank. The "edit" will take care of that. The inflation rate shall be "brought down" to single-digit before the end of the year.

seunmsg:
What is Umo Eno finding out? Is there any other party in Akwa Ibom other than APC? The governor will win rejection by nothing less than 80% of total vote cast in 2027. Stay there Dey play you hear.

Lol. Assuming but not conceding that this is the case, will Tinubu also win Akwa Ibom state? Time is a gentleman.

IGBOSON1:
These peoples warped idea of politics would have been laughable if it wasn't so pathetic! I mean, can't you run for re-election based on your 1st term record? By this frantic desperation to try and poach all opposition governors and legislators, you're indirectly telling us you have no confidence in the ability of your record in gov't being sufficient enough in convincing the electorate to vote you in for a 2nd term!

Tinubu used Wike to engineer crisis in the PDP in order to make this happen. It's the death of democracy as we know it. The governors are dumb for not realising that Tinubu is only hoping to use their "goodwill" and popularity to win his own re-election and does not necessarily care about them. In return, he may have promised them state support in their own re-election but they will all find out. Like Umo Eno in Akwa Ibom is finding out today.

Like I said before, Tinubu will hardly work with you if you are squeaky clean. He has dirt on virtually all his appointees. It is how he gets them to do his bidding. Sowore thinks he's on to something with the Florida mansions exposé on Wike but Tinubu is only seeing leverage for the time that Wike will step out of line.

Akpakomiza2:
The only way to beat an incumbent is in a two way battle like in 2015. The more the opponents, the better for him. He will smash all others in the south west and divide other regions

Okay. If you insist. Only two regions cannot be won in a landslide by any candidate. The Southwest and the Northcentral. The 2027 election will be a battle of the regions between the 4 or 5 candidates. The odds still favour Atiku in that scenario. The ADC have already factored in the eventuality of the governors of Taraba, Kano and Plateau decamping to the APC. Why is the APC still not getting that momentum despite the decamping of all these state governors? The guy is still gone! Quote me after 2027.

Iamsane:
Reason why Elrufai was dropped initially.

Exactly. They know he will be too hot to handle. Elrufai is squeaky clean and also blunt to a fault. Bad combination for the cartels.

Akpakomiza2:
You still don't get it exactly why you and atiku always lose. To win a national election, you need every hands in deck both loyallists and enemies. You don't necessarily need to win every state. In your home region, you get bloc votes while outside, you get slim victories of 25%. Tinubu didn't win imo or EBONYI but reduced obi's winning margins and crushed Atiku. He lost sokoto and Kebbi narrowly, Atiku's victories here was useless. Atiku won kaduna well but Tinubu got his spread. Tinubu got the spread in all northeastern state while winning Borno yet Atiku got the spread in only two Yoruba states. Atiku lost woefully in Lagos...
Atiku won akwa ibom narrowly but he is finished there. Same thing in delta ,Tinubu has replaced his margins. Atiku is finished nationally

Stop quoting me on every thread. I thought Elrufai worked against Tinubu because Tinubu didn't win Kaduna state, despite getting his 3rd largest votes from the state. What changed? You now know margins are important? Anyways, the 2027 election will potentially be a 5-horse race with Tinubu, Atiku, Jonathan, Obi, Kwankwaso (if he doesn't decamp to APC) on the ballot. What are Tinubu's chances even with all the 36 state governors? Well, time is a gentleman.

seunmsg:
Racoon, Aminda and other Tinubu haters, o tun ti se o. Make una come serve una self hot and salty tears.

Plateau and Anambra will follow shortly 🤣🤣🤣

How many APC governors delivered their states to Tinubu in 2023? Imo? Ebonyi? Cross River? Kaduna? Sokoto? Kebbi? Nassarawa? All Northeastern states? I could go on. A combination of Tinubu himself, Gbajabiamila and Sanwo-olu couldn't even deliver Lagos. Tinubu is desperate but soon, the cracks will show. Watch out for Delta. In the end, the real loyalists will be too aggrieved to work for the President while the new guys struggle to mobilise their people to buy into the idea of supporting Tinubu in 2027, like Umo Eno is finding out in Akwa Ibom.

seunmsg:
All is set for the best governor in the south east, Governor Peter Mbah to join APC. Official details coming soon.

Yes. Across all the states, Tinubu is throwing the existing APC adherents that built the party under the bus just to desperately hand all structure to a decampee governor. It may backfire come 2027.

Tinubu has dirt on virtually all his appointees. It is how he gets them to do his bidding. Nnaji was resisting the decamping of Enugu governor, Mbah to the APC. He was simply "blackmailed" with his crime and eased out, paving the way for Mbah. The same was done to Ganduje to facilitate Kwankwaso's decamp. Tinubu will not work with you if you are too squeaky clean.

Bobloco:
At least for ensuring that the minister resigns, this contrasts with the earlier statement issued by Bayo Onanuga that the matter is in court and that they would wait for the court's verdict before taking action.

Why does Umahi feel Nigerians don't deserve to know the average cost per kilometer of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal road? Tinubu has centered his entire presidency around the road ( bad idea) to the detriment of other roads, and yet, the details of the project are still shrouded in secrecy. How much did the additional 100km to Edo cost and was it properly procured?

Wike is beginning to suffer from law of diminishing returns. The desire to invite media crew, erect canopies and dance upon commencement of work on every 1km Road or streetlight is becoming boring. Abuja is becoming dirty and unsafe by the day.

seunowa:
..... Walahi I love as president Tinubu dey pepper the Northerner politicians especially the core North. If dis true, Tinubu is telling you to go and do your worse...

Northerners are not really complaining. They are only saying he should at least spread it across the other South, instead of just his Yoruba clan. Buhari distributed positions across several tribes in the Northeast, Northwest and the Northcentral. "Turn of the South" indeed. Don't also forget that Northerners made Tinubu president. He only won 4 states (all Yoruba states) in the entire South.

Well. We all said it that CAN was just looking for settlement all through Buhari’s tenure. They don't care about anyone. Bishop Kukah and other loud voices who even went before the US Congress barely 3 years ago to testify that there was a genocide against Christians in Nigeria are now vociferously lapping up their vomit. Is it that the massacre has ceased or there was never one in the first place? Only one of these can be correct. Not both.

As predicted, the government of the day is striking "peace deals" and negotiating with the bandits in the North without disarmament. They will only move elsewhere. That's what happens when you attempt to put a bandage over a bullet wound without extracting the bullet.

Nigerians, let's move on with our lives. If they say Kwara is safe, then Kwara is safe. We shouldn't embarass the government further.

3ice9ce:
Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, and Plateau. Those are the NC states
Tell us the one Atiku will win.

The kind of beating Tinubu will give Atiku in the North Central, it is the WHO that will help Atiku tie his bandages.

Lol. It's not about "winning a state". In 2027, ut will all boil down to margins, not necessarily number of states won. Tinubu only won Zamfara and Jigawa in 2023 but he ended up winning the Northwest. He can barely win either of these states again in 2027 and he won't win the Northwest. Time is a gentleman.

Apcnewrecruit:
El Rufai had 8 years to solve this problem but NO. He's back to decieve you all as a saint because Tinubu didn't welcome him based on the fact that he wasn't cleared by DSS. Nigerians are wiser now tho

Were the governors of Borno, Yobe, Benue, Plateau, Kwara, Katsina, Zamfara, Niger, supposed to end the insecurity in their states? Or is that a responsibility reserved for only Elrufai? Why then is the president the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces? Is it just to ride in escalades, fly private jets to France and leisure in luxury yachts?

Sangoamadioha1:
I thought they said after El rufai no more attacks in southern Kaduna
Lies can never last long because the truth go 'everly' show face.

Allow! There is massive news suppression currently on Southern Kaduna. You will only find very few news outlets like Sahara Reporters reporting on it because the rest, including their leaders have been placed on payroll (,something Elrufai stubbornly refused to do). Now, they can't even voice out their pain because they made it all about Elrufai.

Long before Elrufai became governor, there was the Kafanchan crisis of 1987, the Zangon Kataf crisis of 1992, the Miss World crisis of 2001, the post-election violence of 2011, and several others in-between. Elrufai became governor in 2015.

Here's a video of Zamani Lekwot, Bishop Kukah and others testifying on the Zangon Kataf crisis at the Oputa panel. Elrufai was not the governor as at then. Neither did he envisage that he will ever become the governor of Kaduna. Only a holistic approach and sincerity of purpose can end the carnage.

Yes. All elected politicians benefitted from the flawed electoral process either directly or indirectly. That is not an argument that it shouldn't be corrected.

seunmsg:
If we tell some of these our ADC and Obidient friends that Plateau and indeed the entire North Central is locked down for Tinubu in 2027, they will start arguing and abusing us. Mutfwang will personally lead the campaign for Tinubu’s reelection in 2027 and the margin of victory will be so high.

Lol. The Northcentral is the most fluid region in the country, right next to the Southwest. No single candidate can win it in a landslide. If you say Tinubu will get some few voters that previously voted Obi in 2023, you will be correct but you are under the assumption that all the votes Tinubu garnered in the Northcentral in 2023 are intact. They are not. Infact, he has arguably lost more votes than he has gained. Tinubu won the Northcentral in 2023 largely because he was untested and had the benefit of doubt among many sceptics. Muslim-Muslim ticket was also a net-positive factor for Tinubu in the Northcentral (as unbelievable as it may sound), but now, it is not. Time is a gentleman.

telleyway:
You see the that thing called coalition? If they are not bold enough to do the right thing and Peter Obi walked away, that would be the end of the beginning.
Some people can buy the whole party structure but can't buy genuine followership.

Noise is not a political strategy. Here's the latest data from INEC on continuous voter registration across states of the federation. Peep the first five and last five states. I will personally prefer Peter Obi to run solo for strategic reasons. It will benefit the coalition but I will not explain. The dynamics in 2023 and 2027 are not the same.

Madmohamed1:
This people are setting up a pipe line to transfer Nigeria common wealth, if fulani gets any opportunity to enter aso rock again sorry will be your name Nigeria.

A fulani man gave you second Niger bridge, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Lagos-Ibadan Railway, badagry Road, Lekki Deep Seaport, Zik Masoleum, Itakpe-Warri Railway, Kano and Kaduna dry ports, 700mw Zungeru hydroelectric power plant, kaduna-Kano highway, Bonny-Bodo link road, Abuja-Keffi-Makurdi road, Benue-9th mile highway, NLNG Train 7, AKK gas pipeline, OB3 gas pipeline, Kano-Maradi railway, Kaduna-Kano Railway, etc. I will rather have a fulani man in power anyday, anytime. List out the projects that your non-Fulani delivered that compares.

Why are APC minions always chasing validation from Obidients up and down. Yesterday, they went into frenzy celebrating the purported decamping of David Hundeyin to their camp and now this. It's really pathetic.

He doesn't collect tithes, he only sets target for members to raise funds.

If porting is a bad thing, Tinubu will not be using a combination of state of emergency, withholding of local government funds, inducement, cessation of prosecution on corruption, inducement, etc to armtwist governors and politicians from other parties to decamp to the APC.
