Add rigging to your computation oh. A person who can rig when out of power and against the wishes of incumbents . . . . what will he do with incumbency?

2023 election wasn't really rigged per se. Maybe in Rivers. Northerners genuinely voted for Tinubu in 2023. A lot of them now regret that decision. The dynamics in 2027 will be entirely different. It is difficult to rig if you're unpopular. Okowa couldn't rig as a sitting governor and vice presidential candidate in Delta state due to the momentum of Obi. The candidate with the right momentum will win their regions and I can't see that being Tinubu in anywhere outside of the Southwest.

DeepSight:
I just fear it will only cause greater splintering of the opposition which will play into the hands of Baron Silas Greenback.

If you have GEJ, Atiku, Obi and possibly Kwankwaso all running against the Frog, that will be the end of any hope of dislodging the infamous criminal from the rock.

Not correct. If all the aforementioned are on the ticket, it will now become a strictly tribal and regional affair. If the elections are free and fair, Tinubu will not win. He wouldn't even come second.

Daddyyin:
See how you mixed pictures that are not in alignment with what you are saying. Your candidate can't win and will never win PBAT. You always support losers and cry afterwards. Tinubu till 2031

Stop crying on my mention. Let's meet at the ballot.

NothingDoMe:
The more the merrier means a loss due to divided votes in a free and fair election.

Although I have zero confidence in the fact that Tinubu will ensure a free and fair election in 2027.

Sometimes, divided votes can be a strategy just as it was for Tinubu in 2023. The dynamics are now very different. Where will Tinubu get the bulk of his votes from to make him win? Lessons will be learnt.

News from the stables of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway propaganda media machinery. Obi remains a founding member of the coalition and has never failed to physically attend a meeting except if out the country. He participated virtually in the last ADC meeting and agreed with every resolution reached. Try again.

Wike currently has no immunity, why not start from there if he's really serious about this.

Bluntemperor:
Ok, and we didn't hear your voice, when your brother Buhari was there for 8- yrs but whenever Southern was in Power, your brother usually introduced 'Divide and Rule',as a mechanism against the Southern Govt,which Una de do now,as usual!
Kiss 😘 the Truth!

No one was ever against a Southerner than Tinubu. He fought against Obasanjo and fought against Jonathan. Even now, he's denying other Southerners like Obi and Jonathan from having a platform to contest while still screaming "it's the turn of the South". He's not the South's first choice, he only won 4 states in the entire South in 2023. All 4 were from the Southwest. Northerners made Tinubu president.

Very good. The more, the merrier. The only people that don't want Jonathan in the race are Tinubu, Wike and emergency legal adviser, Keyamo. Those ones are suddenly concerned about Jonathan's "reputation". Jonathan will clear the entire South South while poaching the votes of Northerners who still buy the idea that it's the turn of the South. He's also a safer bet for the North. His chances are not as slim as APC likes to pretend. Tinubu will do everything to use Wike to deny him the ticket of the PDP.

These are part of the Northern influencers that the APC are paying per post to continue to run PR for them. The SW ones are obliviously running the propaganda for free while the Arewa boys are cashing out. In the end, the Arewa boys will still "vote wisely" (if you know what I mean).

Educationalserv:
if they are Truly best head not eggs head the shoul be in Total EP ,shell ,Transfugura mecuri . Majority didnt even know road to Lagos or even see a Jetty or oil tank farm . Many only aspire for Poorly paid university jobs before Dangote sent for department to send names !have shell ever did this .
No body force anyone to work by force .offers can be rejected ,resigned many Dangote staff have moved to Qatar and Saudi !
It cost 400m per month to pay 800 of them I hope Pengasan or PTD will not defy this cost since company cannot anymore

Your kind are the type who jubilate when they see their peers with good grades struggling financially just because they failed to study hard in school. All the workers in Total EP, Shell ,Transfugura, Mecuri are members of PENGASSAN. Dangote refinery workers must also belong to PENGASSAN if Dangote is to continue to run his business in Nigeria. He must also commit to paying his staff competitive salaries and meeting global best practice on staff safety at the workplace. It's not a matter of choice. It's a right ingrained into the nations laws and international labour laws.

NgeneUkwenu:
Yes oo! Yet she served her 7months suspension jejely! You obiditents are so delusional

So did Fubara. The difference is that she served out her illegal suspension with her knees unbent, her head unbowed and her spirit unbroken and came back swinging at Tinubu and Akpabio. Unlike Fubara who came back from suspension with his tail tucked between his legs. Don't forget, "This injustice will not be sustained".

strangest:
Benue, Plateau and Chibok in Bornu state...

Southern Kaduna....

Even in Kwara...

You skipped Northern Kaduna, Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Yobe, the entire Borno, Anambra and Imo. Trying to paint terrorism against Nigerians different from what it is, will not solve the problem. Let us face the open failure of governance under the APC who have now resorted to openly negotiating with the terrorists.

No, it didn't. Tinubu only amplified it. Nigeria's problem didn't start with Jonathan when Tinubu mobilised to vote him out of power. He should step aside if the kitchen is too hot to handle.

Zionmdde:
FG has nothing to do with the strike
In fact FG is the worst hit
Because the economy has been put on hold. Please let's be objective. If FG wants to continue oil importation they will continue it. Let's not sabotage the efforts of people trying to fight for the interest of their sacked colleagues

I am 100% in support of PENGASSAN. Dangote recruited the best Nigerian brains as engineers to run his plant and pays them peanuts compared to their peers and without PPE while still trying to deprive them of their right to unionise. He should reinstate them and do the needful.

SmartPolician:
Fubara is hasty about revenging Wike. He should've waited to get his second tenure before taking action. As it is now, his second tenure isn't even guaranteed. It appears he wants to forfeit it though.

With the boycott of the Rivers LG election, Tinubu now knows that the people of Rivers are more with Fubara than with Wike, the rigged results aside. Elections are harder to rig with apathy or mass disaffection. It is why Tinubu has become more openly cosy to Fubara. Wike's final assignment is to deprive PDP from fielding any formidable candidate like Jonathan. Failure to do so will lead to Tinubu dumping Wike.

Wiseman2y:
If atiku eventually sequre adc ticket, then 2027 will just be an easy win for Tinubu and APC. Not only that he will lose gallantly in the election but that will also be the end of his ambition of becoming president, because after Tinubu 8 years he will make sure he replace himself with another person as president from the North which will also rule for 8 years, by that time it will be too late for Atiku. The only way to take power from Tinubu is to tackle him with southern aspirant of either obi or Jonathan. Otherwise, atiku and adc are just wasting their time because power will remain in the south for 8 years. May God bless Nigeria..

Jonathan should go pick the presidential ticket of the PDP or join the ADC and contest in its primaries. Obi should also submit himself to the primaries of the ADC. He does not have more claim to the ticket than Amaechi. The ADC will not zone it's presidential ticket to any region. The party is only obligated to organise a free and fair primaries. Whosoever is scared of that is free to go get another party's ticket or vote Tinubu.

FG will simply scale up the importation of refined crude from Malta. Win-win situation for the oil cabals. Dangote may have fallen into a set trap.

Just a few years ago under Buhari, the reaction to this news would have been different. The killings in Kaduna were attributed to Elrufai even though Muslims were the majority victims while the killings in Benue and Plateau were blamed on Buhari. Today, with the obvious media agenda-setting by the West against this government, we are now asking for context and nuance. The killings haven't subsided, rather new fronts have been opened in Kwara while the government negotiates with the terrorists and news get suppressed. The hypocrisy of everyone will be unravelled. They can keep on paying influencers off but money can't buy life.

Karlovych:
Tinubu betrayed the people of Rivers state same way Awo betrayed Igbos during the war.

I see him losing massive votes in 2027 because of this that BVAS rigging can't save him

This I have seen!

It's funny seeing him trying to use "strongman" tactics and inducement to force support in the Southsouth. Even if Fubara decamps, Rivers votes aren't guaranteed because the people know it's based on duress. In the North, he's massively splurging cash on Arewa influencers to promote him but most of them will still end up "voting wisely". In the Southwest, he has commissioned Conservatives to go from radio station to radio station, using ethnicity to try to shore up support. "The guy is gone!", for real.

Armaggedon:
Lol
Who do you think is after wike? You think it's just sowore?
Do you think it's the opposition that's coordinating themselves. What happened to Jonathan in 2015 will happen to Tinubu. Trump doesn't like him.

Outside of the SW, does he really have any organic support anywhere in Nigeria? Small visit to Kaduna and he had to cough out money to Arewa influencers for publicity. "The guy is gone!"

In Rivers, the governor was suspended and new LG election conducted by a SOLAD just to force a "structure" for their own benefit. In Osun, illegal LG chairmen are empowered with LG funds just because the governor has refused to capitulate. Is anyone still in doubt of the "Paul Biya" tendencies?

Lamba. His entire machinery is built upon buying love with money. Small visit to Kaduna and look how much he splurged on Arewa twitter influencers just for publicity. No Northerner supports him organically. If you're from the SW, if you like no collect your money. Allow them to continue to use ethnicity to buy your support for free.

When I saw TheNation newspaper as the source link, I quickly skipped. The days of the media superiority of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway propaganda machinery are long over. Why are they jittery? Tinubu even sent Nentawe, the APC chairman to go beg Pantami yesterday in the middle of the night. He's now desperately chasing after the Buhari bloc after alienating all of them. Lessons will be learnt.

He may not have totally shut him up for good but what is undeniable is that Wike's stock took a hit with his battle with Sowore. Not that Tinubu didn't know these revelations already, but now he has even more leverage to continue to use Wike to do his bidding. Tinubu now has him right where he wanted.

seunmsg:
Can’t you see some of you are the actual fraud? The poster above you posted Reno’s appointment letter and FG payslip and still, you’re deliberately posting lies and misinformation. Is this how Peter Obi wants to make a new Nigeria POssible? Through lies, falsehood and misinformation?

What a time to be alive. So, Reno Omokri is now the moral compass of the APC and the one Lukumis take dressings from? Do you stand by everything he said about Tinubu in the days before the 2023 election or that no longer matters now that Tinubu has successfully bought him off? Don't divert to Atiku as you always do. Just answer the question.

So in summary, Reno Omokri was an aide to an aide of Jonathan? Noted. No wonder he quickly jumped ship to the highest bidder.

madridguy:
Apology noted. Go and sin no more Piter Obi but you still won't be Nigeria President.

Where is the apology? Anyways, you're at liberty to create your own happiness and revel in it.

Codepain:
Olubadan isn’t Obi brother they don’t share common ancestor

What ancestry does Olubadan share with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Waziri of Adamawa? The APC had better change its 2027 strategy of ethnicity because it's bound to crash, beginning from within the SW while alienating other regions that Tinubu would be needing votes from.

Nigeria is gradually becoming a police state under this government.

Zionmdde:
When pengassan acts, dangote can shout to the moon. You wake up sack workers for joining union. Breadwinners ooooo, who only wants to identify with people who can speak for them. You pay Indians who don't even have degrees millions and Nigerians with masters less than 350k.

Even business people have unions. I am glad pengassan is not nupeng. Dangote will soon start screaming persecution

Dangote's refinery staff work under the worst working conditions imaginable. Why is he afraid of his workers joining a union if his hands are clean? He should improve the welfare of his indigenous staff.
