Apt!!! How can I not align with this beautiful piece of masterpiece and retort. Nothing to add, Nothing to subtract.

Well-done Author.



ADC: HERE WE COME!!!

Aregbe is doing the lord's work in the grassroots of the Southwest with the ADC. Contrary to what Batists will have us believe, Aregbe is fully on ground! Look at these people, the love is pure and genuine.

Pen-for-hire and PR merchant. Even political jobbermen, senior databoys and sycophants like Omojuwa really think they are big players now because their tribal man is on seat.

kedeojo:
lies, El rufai didn't support Tinubu in the primaries cos Kaduna delegates didn't vote Tinubu. He only started supporting Tinubu after he won the primaries. Stop the lies.

If that's the case, what's wrong with not supporting Tinubu in the primaries? Is Amaechi not a candidate of the APC? So you expected everyone in the party to support Tinubu in the primaries. No wonder he's so vindictive and has made every single person he perceived not to have voted for him an enemy. Osinbajo, Ahmed Lawan, etc. Instead of uniting the party, he came in with vendetta and grudge. Elrufai supported the winner of his party's primaries in the general election, and that's all that matters. Will everyone in the ADC coalition support a single candidate in the primaries? Should the winner of the primaries now cast everyone who didn't vote for him aside?

Yet another promising Omoluabi neutralized by putting the traitor label on him. All to protect the interests of an Octogenarian.

In the Southwest, anyone that dares to chart a pathway for himself will be immediately termed a betrayer and the full weight of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway propaganda machinery unleashed upon them. Case studies abound. Ambode, Fashola, Fayemi, Sanwo-olu, Osinbajo, etc. Dear Yorubas, after Tinubu, who would be your next leader? No, don't say you will cross the bridge when you get there. Who's Tinubu's successor(s)?

Kwankwaso went against Buhari and decamped out of the APC yet no Northerner calls him a betrayer or traitor. Northern politicians are strategically placed in every major political party and heads or tail, the North will be ably represented.

Barrywilly:
But why is PitObi finding it difficult to put things right in LP? He appears to be partyless currently because he lacks focus. This is the person who wants to unseat Omo Ologo PBAT

Stop the projection. It's not a coincidence that there's similar leadership crisis in all political parties in the country. We know who's pulling the strings in a bid to run unopposed. But make no mistakes, Nigerians will have an alternative in 2027.

Pogba12:
and still he betrayed El-Rufai.
iiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Don't mind those Agbadorians. They think they can rewrite history. They have created a god-like status around Tinubu in Yorubaland due to cowardice but he will be demystified in 2027. The list of people he has betrayed are endless. They think rewarding fellow Yorubas who have been subservient to him for years with political appointments is evidence that he does not betray.

asfrank:
Elrufai was working for his own interest. Insisting that the presidential ticket came to the south was so he could be vice to Ameachi.

What's wrong with that? He's a politician and politicians are students of power. So, when he supported and campaigned for the Tinubu/Shettima ticket across the North, in who's interest was he working for? When Tinubu negotiated with Buhari in 2015 and even wanted to be his Vice until he was prevailed upon, in who's interest was he working for?

favour32:
You call Atiku sharing of dollar in brown envelopes primary.

Okay. What will be Obi's answer when Tinubu starts sharing dollars in the general election? Beg Tinubu to step down? Has Obi ever participated in a party primary in his career? Obidients should be advocating for a transparent primary in the ADC not demanding for the ticket. That's undemocratic and even worse than sharing dollars because while one deals with inducement, the other one reeks of coercion. Even the APC at inception had a primary. Buhari, Kwankwaso, Atiku and Sam Ndah Isaiah all participated in the primaries and Atiku even came third behind Kwankwaso. What is Obi afraid of?

PigTormentor:
That's the reason for that Emilokan speech by Tinubu. It was his turn at the party according to their agreement.
He didn't say it was his turn to rule Nigeria, but it was his turn to contest for President under the APC.
Some disagree and they went to primary where he still won.

Who were the some that disagreed? Osinbajo and Akpabio? Elrufai prevailed on all Northern aspirants to step down except Yahaya Bello who insisted on contesting. He even thwarted the moves of the cabal incurring many enemies in the process at great detriment to his brand. In the end, how did Tinubu pay back after that? He kicked all the CPC aside including Elrufai and sought to personalise the APC in a "winner takes it all" fashion damaging the North-Southwest alliance in the process. The North gave him 5.6m votes and largely stood by him at a time when some of his now newly converted "Ronu-ists" were too cowardly to support his candidacy. 2027 will be time for payback. "The North remembers" is not just a slogan. Northerners live by it.

Wise words from the sage. At the moment, Obidients seem to be campaigning against other members of the coalition. Obi should take it easy and prepare for the party primaries. This isn't about just him, the stakes are much higher. The Southeast as a region deserves more than just a 4-year single term after such a long time of being out of power but it must be strategically negotiated for from a position of strength like Tinubu did with Buhari in 2015. The negotiations and political horsetrading with other stakeholders should be done indoors and not via social media handles.

WizardOfNG:
Lol. Nothing further to add. Shehu Sani has said it all.

Northerners like Shehu Sani are only saying things that excites you SWesterners. Their words does not resonate with the average Northerner. Apart from making you happy, they cannot win a single vote for Tinubu with their pandering, they are just like Reno Omokri. They are not on ground but time shall tell.

These series of sponsored articles continue to gain traction. Something is really going on in and around the NNPC that Nigerians are being shielded from.

Obi should give it a rest already. This isn't about him, the stakes are much higher. The Southeast as a region deserves more than just a 4-year single term after such a long time of being out of power but it must be strategically negotiated for from a position of strength like Tinubu did with Buhari in 2015. He either goes hard or go home.

But Festus Keyamo told us pastors will no longer speak good of either Atiku or Obi and will now campaign for Tinubu on their pulpit. Agbadorians even told us that the Northern christians, Southern Kaduna and the entire Northcentral will massively vote for Tinubu. Lessons will be learnt.

seunmsg:
The fact they you can’t even confidently mention Atiku as a better candidate says it all. Atiku has been contesting for president since 1993 and he has never won once. Such a monumental failure and competency shouldn’t be used in the same sentence.

Bola Tinubu has a history of achievements and ground breaking innovations in governance. As president, he had dared to pull off a set of badly needed economic reforms that no human being before him as ever dared. He’s the Lee Kuan Yew of Nigeria and not even one of the failures in your dead coalition comes close by any stretch.

Lol. Send those flowery words to one of the editors of your Lagos-Ibadan Expressway newspaper propaganda machinery for publication. You are talking to Nigerians here.

Let's us see the full list of these "deserving" national heroes. They are heroes, they should be celebrated not hidden in obscurity. There are already allegations of tribalism and cronyism flying all around. Make the list public.

So, who is the competent candidate that will perform better than Tinubu?

Anyone among the top 4 candidates will outperform Tinubu. Tinubu is highly overrated.

Flawed and jaundiced analysis. The Igbos have no single incentive to support APC as a political strategy whether now or in the future if they hope to ascend the presidency. Why wait till 2039 when they can get it in 2027, 2031 or at worse 2035?

Obi should actually play smart in 2027 and realise that whatever decision he decides to make is not just for himself but for his entire region. To all those who would come saying "the Igbos don’t need to be president to thrive", no you do. Tinubu just awarded a 15 trillion naira road project and a 712 billion naira airport project to his region that would be serviced by all Nigerians, including the Igbos. No matter how many Obi Cubanas or billionaires you have in the East, they can never replicate the scale of these projects using their pooled funds. It's time to roll up your sleeves and play the smart politics like the rest of Nigerians. Your future generations will thank you for it. Accept the extended handshake across the Niger and build futuristic alliances. Tinubu and the Southwest did the same.

Tinubu removed subsidy to reduce borrowing but now borrows to reduce the effects of subsidy removal. No be juju be that?

omenka:
Swear by whichever gods you believe in that if he were doing this in favour of Gringori, selling the Gbajue to Nigerians, you would see anything wrong with it. Matter of fact, you'll likely call him a standout patriot. You people only want Gringori to be seen and heard from, but guess what, Wike and others like him will be in your faces everyday and there's nothing you nor IPOB can do about it.

Omenka now a databoy defending Wike? Wonders shall never cease. Like I said, we'll be here for when Wike will fall out with Tinubu and go back to being the devil you lot called him in the past. It won't be long now.

chrisxxx:
You think stopping the person you voted in the last presidential election was an easy feat? Wike did it singlehandedly and he is poised to doing it again.

So the president cannot reign in on his appointees to separate politics from governance. Are those who voted against Tinubu not Nigerians? Why is he using an official tax-funded ministry to play politics from day one when it should be about stewardship to the people. We know you all only pretend to love Wike for now. He would immediately become the villain once he falls out with Tinubu. We saw how quickly you lot turned against Elrufai and how you were ready to do the same to Shettima.

Even government officials under Tinubu are now openly tribalistic against other sections of the country and are engaging in dog-whistling and setting them up for drags. If not for her master taking a plea bargain and forfeiting some cash, he might have also been on the row awaiting the hangman's noose.

Enice:
To monitor is not to recognise.

Okay. Why are you then crying more than the bereaved. You should be happy. Tinubu will be declared president unopposed. Why is he still sending Gbaja and Co to go beg the North? Didn't he check the INEC website?

Jokers. Same INEC monitored proceedings at the recent NEC Meeting of the ADC. APC should get serious and prepare for the elections in 2027. Currently, they are acting like they're the opposition party.

The fear and trepidation continues. I thought they all said Elrufai was irrelevant. Lessons will be learnt.

Wike is now the one subtly begging for the state of emergency to be lifted. Tinubu should go ahead and extend it indefinitely.

jamafa:
No!

Atiku won't have 25% in 24 states. Tinubu will be the winner.

With the help of governors and senators in his camp at present.

Even if he doesn't, he will get the highest margin out of all four, thereby throwing the election into a run-off between him and first runner-up where a simple majority vote will now decide. The numbers are on the side of Atiku and numbers don't lie.

A revised constitution only moves forward not backwards. Jonathan is still eligible to contest in 2027. I know APC are jittery of the possibility but he's eminently qualified to contest.

Wike thinks he's smart but he's still learning politics where Atiku and Tambuwal are. Without saying a word, Atiku’s singular move to the ADC neutralized all the plans of Wike and Tinubu, yet Atiku has still not lost a single momentum. Infact, he has potentially been given a more viable platform without the inherent baggage that PDP has. Meanwhile, Wike is fast losing leverage and relevance with Tinubu and he's now latched on the LP and Abure train to prove to Tinubu that he could still be valuable.
