This is not about Tinubu. It’s about Atiku doing the right thing. It’s about Atiku supporting justice, fairness and level playing field. It’s about Atiku doing the right thing and backing Peter Obi. It’s about Atiku not dollarizing the ADC primary like he did at the last two PDP primaries.

Indeed. I think you all should be worrying about Jonathan, not Atiku. Better tell Wike not to fail in preventing Jonathan from getting the PDP ticket. Atiku will contest the primaries under the ADC. The primaries will be free and fair. If Atiku didn't stand any chance and is inconsequential, you wouldn't be so bothered and worked up about his candidacy. If Atiku wins the primaries, whoever is dissatisfied can go get a free ticket elsewhere or vote Tinubu. All stations settled.

It's the turn of Tinubu. Emi lokan. He really believes it. That's why he wants no Southerner asides him on the ballot.

seunmsg:
Why not just back out of the contest and support Peter Obi your younger brother?

Football age aside, is Atiku older than Tinubu? Why didn't Tinubu step down for his younger brother, Osinbajo? You are talking about zoning but APC is telling Jonathan not to contest while preventing Obi from running under the Labour party, all while screaming "It's the turn of the South". Does he mean it's the turn of the Southwest? Why is Tinubu afraid of contesting against his fellow Southerners?

Walai:
1993- MKO Abiola was his senior. Atiku wasn't that rich as per his hand never begin touch serious government money
2011- GEJ out spent him, yes, delegates were paid heavily. I have evidence of that.

2015 - Tinubu, Amaechi heavily funded Buhari's primary with Lagos and Rivers money. They out spent him naira to naira,dollar to dollar. I have evidence too

2019- He out spent Wike who tried to sponsor Tambuwal. It was dollar reign in the Port Harcourt PDP primaries.

2023- same as 2019

Okay, assuming but not conceding that all what you said are true, what would your candidate do if he gets a free ticket and meets Tinubu at the polls who has money to spend? Ask Tinubu to step down? You all are not ready. Not even Jonathan, a former president will get a free ticket under the PDP.

Kingju:
All these things you posted na propaganda, where you in kaduna and did you vote in the last election? Where you aware of the rigging he did especially for the last LGA that was supposed to determine the final result. I'm telling you of first hand experience not something I read on the paper

What are you talking about? I am talking about Elrufai being the first governor to introduce electronic voting in Kaduna for local government elections. Which part of that is propaganda? APC lost local governments in Southern Kaduna. It was free and fair. Is there any state in Nigeria today where an opposition party can win a local government against the ruling party? Uba Sani came in and repealed the law and the LG election he organised was openly rigged. Elrufai has never been afraid to lose an election. He lost his polling unit as sitting governor at the electronic LG election I was referring to.

SmartPolician:
Atiku is a joker! Who's that young candidate that can beat you in ADC?

If there's none that can beat him in a party primary, then how can such candidate defeat Tinubu in the general election? Will the candidate also pressure Tinubu to step down? And before you come up with your tired "dollarised primaries" cliché, Atiku has lost primary elections several times in the past.

1993 Vs MKO: He stepped down and supported MKO.

2011 Vs GEJ: He came 2nd and supported Jonathan.

2015 Vs Buhari: He came 3rd and supported Buhari.

These are the years he didn't get the ticket. Atiku has paid his dues and he's not asking for free ticket. Simply contest the primaries and defeat him at the polls or go form your own party.

99thEnemy:
The question now is, why wait until now to advocate for this?

Are you sure he's just advocating for this for the first time? Elrufai is not una mate o. Na see-finish dey cause all these things.

Kingju:
This guy na complete idiot, did he allow fair election in the last one in Kaduna?

Yes. The first and only governor to introduce electronic voting at local government level. APC lost some local governments at state LG elections during his time. Something unheard of at the time. He also enforced full local government autonomy as governor of Kaduna. Uba Sani came into power and repealed the electronic voting law, going back to manual voting.

He just wants to be in the news at every opportunity.

Evil people

Believe it or not, Elrufai is a cerebral collusus. He was the Chairman of the APC committee on True Federalism and submitted the report to the party since 2018.

Today, Bishop Kukah now believes Nigeria is in a better place on insecurity and there's no genocide of Christians because he's now a Tinubu appointee. This was not his position two years ago under Buhari. Well, either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain.

Even if he doesn't end up contesting (he will contest), APC are shooting themselves on the foot with these constant attacks on Jonathan, who hasn't even openly declared an interest yet. His people from the Southsouth are taking notes.

Why not say that to Bishop Kukah, Reno Omokri, FFK and Co who promoted that narrative for years? Reno even wrote a book on Leah Sharibu and travelled the world selling the story that Boko Haram are killing christians in the North while receiving donations. It has simply come back full circle now and has matured. Now that the world is ready to listen, they are denying what they said. It is only ironic that those who fanned that narrative are now appointees and allies of the government. Could they have been sponsored? Nigerians do not need any foreign propaganda to vote out Tinubu at the polls.

P.S: Kukah is now an appointed Pro-Chancelor of a university while Reno is a pseudo-spokesman and image maker. No more noise about the "massacre" of Christians from them. You don't talk while eating and they have exceptional table manners.

Konquest:
What imaginary "poor outing" by President Tinubu are you talking about and what Taye Currency "insult" is that? I didn't see any "disgraceful outing" by the Nigerian President 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the full videos of his arrival at the Ibadan Airport and the coronation ceremony. It was because of this Ibadan coronation ceremony of Oba Ladoja that President 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu didn't travel to the United States for the UN meeting but delegated VP Kashim Shettima to represent him. Ibadan folks who are known historically to be warrior descendants, blunt in their beliefs and republican in culture also welcomed him. You better be guided and know what you are typing here as you will be countered for spreading toxic disinformation. This is what [Naptu] (who is a veteran media personality) was emphasizing about you in his firm reply I saw yesterday.

You portray yourself as a Northerner and so-called ADC coalition member, (and even defamatorily accused a Kanawa international business mogul, Aliko Dangote of a*slicking President 'Bola Tinubu) BUT you are CLEARLY NOT from the North. Your style of writing gives you off (just like that insidious moniker always repeating "Up North" while FALSELY claiming to be from the North of Nigeria) but he got sussed out by others when he used his indigenous language on one thread. I'm very familiar with the cultures of the Old Northern Region and I have friends from decades back who are now top Northern professionals such as pilots and aircraft owners, business moguls, and senior government officials, Senators, etc.

Phew! All that hyperventilation with spit spewing out of your mouth is all for what? Simply make your own comments and move on. Campaign for your Tinubu in peace and keep it moving. Stop seeking my validation and that of other nairalanders, it's pathetic. I have never noticed your comments or your moniker. You simply do not exist to me neither do I care where you come from or who your friends are. Don't bother responding to this comment, I won't reply.

Who would tell Wike that being FCT Minister goes beyond doing groundbreaking for 2.4km roads with so much media pump and pageantry? Abuja is now more unsafe and dirty under his watch.

At this point, it's beginning to look like mockery. Tinubu said they have delivered on their promises while Akpabio is preaching endurance of pains and suffering.

On the contrary, Tinubu had a poor and almost disgraceful outing in Ibadan. From the whole Taye Currency insult to the body language of Seyi Makinde. If you are in Ibadan, then you will know Ladoja is more of an Atiku man than Tinubu. He supported Atiku in 2023. He will no longer be seen to be actively partisan as a royal father and that is okay.

There were more cars in that convoy than actual people that turned out to receive him. The same was the case in Kaduna despite paying Arewa influencers to run twitter ads and publicise the visit. Clearly, the rejection is nationwide.

Delusion is one he'll of a drug. This is what happens when you're always surrounded by sycophants singing the mandate song at every corner or turn.

Jayhome24:
Honestly when a man wife tell him pls my husband don't do this and don't go that way its profitable to listen. Pej warned Gej to stay away for now, Nigeria politics is on cross road but Gej still remain adamant.

Some SS leader told him not to come back into Nigeria politics for now yet he remain adamant.

Gej for the last time despite I'm your die hard fan stay away from Nigeria politics for now you will be embarrass the second time I can't bet you that because I won't vote for you and many others won't.

Left to you to listen or mess yourself up then we your foot soldiers we never fight for you as we did in 2015 while your new found fake friends abadoned you.

You and your village people can go support Tinubu in peace. Jonathan doesn't need your advise. You can shove it where the sun don't shine.

Tareq1105:
He'll lose the little respect Nigerians have for him.

I am a Nigerian and he won't lose the respect I have for him, even if he contests and loses. You better start making peace with the fact that Jonathan will be on the ballot in 2027. All these gaslighting won't work and you people are beginning to sound pathetic with this "respect" line. What can be more respectful than aspiring to be president?

The Punch is being sensational. Of course the party won't come out to say its ticket has been automatically given to Jonathan when the likes of Seyi Makinde are hopeful, but we all know he's the man to beat.

The goal was obviously to get temporary respite so they can brag about having solved insecurity just in time for election. They knew it would come back in full force once they stop paying up. They just didn't envisage that the insecurity merchants will take their business elsewhere or that a "Cobra Effect" will take place.

Would he prefer he pick up arms like the bandits are doing?

kingbee90:
You are right but Tinubu media platforms have portrayed bright minds like Osinbajo to seem like a betrayer and a lesser Omoluabi for daring to contest the 2023 presidential election.
Osinbajo no doubt would have done a better job as a president than this unknown and mysterious kleptoman!ac without an identity in power.

Not only Osinbajo, bright leaders like Fashola, Fayemi, Ambode, very nearly Sanwo-olu are all portrayed as betrayers as soon as they dared to dream or become independent. Tinubu is in his eighties. Which contemporary politician will the Southwest look up towards afyer his reign. Kwankwaso and other Northern leaders left Buhari and even contested against him but they remain relevant and no Norrherner calls them betrayers merely for doing so.

Good. Happy to see Osinbajo coming back into the political space. The Yorubas will need cerebral Omoluabis to chart their future when Tinubu is voted out in 2027.

In hindsight, his short but famous campaign speech at the APC primaries now makes a lot of sense, "Vote for who you know, don't vote for who you don't know". He was trying to warn Nigerians.

zelnababa:
dey play. when his boss impeached Ladoja who stood by him.

There is your fellow tribesman accusing Ladoja of supporting Atiku in 2023 for money and affirming he will do the same in 2027. Like you were told, if you know you know.

blamingthedevil:
Op and moderator - Atiku and El Rufai are not members of ADC

Why is El-Rufai looking so old

God Bless President Bola Tinubu
God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

Elrufai is 65 years old and very agile and fit for a man of his age. Wike is 56.

happney65:
Ladoja is actually an Atiku's Man than Tinubu. They have been together since way way back

If you know,you know

You know ball!

zero8zero:
Where's your evidence?, I don't have time for chochocho.

There you go. I know you won't be back. You will disappear like the stench of a leprous witch. Uba Sani became a senator from being Elrufai's special adviser due to the loan. He replaced Shehu Sani whom the people of Kaduna voted out for refusing to approve the loan. He was the guarantor for the loan. The acquisition of the loan was widely supported by the residents of Kaduna and nothing was hidden. The results are also on ground. You only need to visit Kaduna to see for yourself. Uba Sani is just like Tinubu, they are both masters of treachery and betrayal.

tunjijones:
If Jonathan, Peter obi , Atiku and Tinubu contest, definitely, Atiku will win...

You're right, but probably not on the first ballot. Take Obi out of the equation and the same outcome will be the case. Jonathan contesting will ultimately seal Tinubu's fate. I expect him to do everything to prevent Jonathan from grabbing the PDP ticket.

Mrs. Akinola, who until her death was the Chairman of the Forum of Council Managers in Lagos State, died after a brief illness.

You seem very much invested in these topics. This was your comment upon the death of the 4th one last week.

lexy2014:
are these some of he receipts?

Yes. Do you want more receipts? Here you go. Northern influencers are cashing out on Tinubu and will still vote "wisely". If you like, no collect your money.
