Lol. As predicted, APC will implode in a number of states. Delta already happened. Next will be Kogi, Benue, Plateau, etc. Stay tuned.

Game on! Next to follow will be Ned Nwoko. Just like in 2023, Obi will defeat Tinubu in the South and his 5.6m Northern voters that made him president are all but gone.

Are these Snake oil merchants still on these? No-one is buying it. Where are the savings from the "bold reforms"? Tinubu has outborrowed all previous governments.

Just look at one of his handlers in the background warning the journalists not to ask any further questions. What a disgrace!

Pickup8:
A real pain. IT PAINS YOUU.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes it did, but the insecurity in the country pains me more. Tinubu is the Commander-in-Chief while Matawalle is the Minister of state for Defence, by the way. The best way to show "loyalty" is to be loyal to the Nigerian people and actually do his job. Not covering his incompetence by massaging the ego of a megalomaniac with low self-esteem who always craves validation.

PR for a mere sycophantic visit? Nairaland should always specify when sponsored articles are pushed to frontpage.

As long predicted, the implosion of the APC in Delta and several other states was inevitable. Next to follow will be Ned Nwoko. The NDC may turn out to be the most formidable party in the South while the ADC becomes the most formidable party in the North. Where then will Tinubu's votes come from? He still has Omoluabi Seyi Makinde to contend with in his own backyard.

seunmsg:
Without the backing of an incumbent governor, Tinubu got over 25% of vote cast in Delta state in 2023.

Thanks to who? I thought Omo-Agege did anti-party? Are we now celebrating 25% in the South. Is 25% still the target in 2027? Why not tell us how many percent Tinubu got in Imo, Ebonyi and Cross Rivers that had incumbent APC governors.

seunmsg:
Ned was not in APC in 2023. He won because OKowa supported him. He's still in APC despite Okowa collecting the ticket from him. The APC structure of 2023 remains intact and fully integrated with the Okowa group. Even Ibori is solidly behind Delta APC. The only minus from the two groups is Omo-Agege. And for someone who lost to Senator Dafinone, it shows how weak he has become. He can go to hell, we have Delta in the bag already.

Where were all these people in 2023, and who did they support when Okowa contested as V.P. candidate and an incumbent governor under PDP? Why couldn't Okowa deliver himself?

seunmsg:
Add PDP's vote to that of APC in 2023. That should give you an idea. It's not just the Okowa group now, it's the fusion of both structure. As at today, APC is the only existing political party in Delta state. Ned and Omo-Agege are irrelevant noisemakers.

The APC structure today was the PDP structure that failed to deliver an incumbent Okowa as Vice presidential candidate. It can even be argued that APC is even weaker than it was in 2023 with the ouster of Omo-Agege and other silently aggrieved members like Ned Nwoko. 2027 will be worse.

seunmsg:
Despite being the incumbent deputy president of the senate and the candidate of APC, what was Omo-Agege's performance at the last election? The Okowa group won all the governorship, all senate and all house of reps seats including majority of the state assembly. So, what's Omo-Agege's strength against an APC structure that now has the Okowa group fully integrated?


In case you don't know, APC deliberately discarded him for working against the party during the last presidential election. That is why nothing was given to him. He can go to hell for all I care. He has no relevance.

Are you having a laugh? The Okowa group that failed to deliver Okowa as Vice presidential candidate under PDP? If Deltans had the presence of mind to vote Okowa's candidates and still reject Okowa despite being an incumbent and Vice presidential candidate, how will Tinubu now win Delta state with Omo-agege and Ned Nwoko aggrieved? What will Tinubu promise Deltans that is worth more than a V.P slot? They can still vote APC in the down ballots and reject Tinubu, just like in Lagos. Bottomline, Tinubu will struggle in the South, even in his own Southwestern backyard.

You accuse all and sundry of working against Tinubu simply because they could not carryout the herculean task of delivering a very unpopular Tinubu. You forgot that Tinubu and his Lagos boys failed to deliver himself in Lagos but Lagos still has the highest number of appointees and projects. Being an ingrate is not a virtue. Time is a gentleman.

Lol. Seunmsg, is Southsouth still in the bag? Where will Tinubu's votes come from? Anyways, we will all learn politics together! At least, Omo-Agege was bold enough to dump the APC. Tinubu should be more afraid of those whom are too scared to decamp but will carry out the mother of all anti-party ever known to man.

Akpakomiza2:
The senator representing Bauchi north originally was never from APC sir but PDP. The one swallowing in ignorance isn't me clearly

Admit that you are not updated and move on. What does "originally" mean in this context? Akpabio, Umahi, etc were also "originally" from the PDP. Are we no longer celebrating governors and senators that defected to the APC a few months ago? Bottomline is that APC has no current senator in Bauchi state as at today. We will all learn politics together.

Akpakomiza2:
Which implosion? Who knows this IGP? APC has only one senator in Bauchi not too. You don't know politics sir, stay out of it

Lol. You are so confident in your ignorance.

Bauchi North: Senator Samaila Kaila Dahuwa
Bauchi South: Senator Shehu Buba Umar

Both have resigned their membership of the APC today. Don't worry. We will all learn the politics together.

Lithiumite:
The end to his political carreer,he cant move to any other party to get ticket its too late,he think say politics nah police work

Which would you prefer? Aggrieved members staying put in a party due to a fraudulent electoral act clause or going elsewhere to exercise their franchise? The implosion of APC is already manifesting and you should be worried. The remaining two APC senators in Bauchi just decamped from the APC. With so many aggrieved party members, where will Tinubu's votes come from? From the 10 million phantom voters in the primaries?

LagosOrigin:
Fubara is really a weakling

Shame shame shame

This humiliation is too much ..

What do you expect of him when Tinubu who should play neutral as president picked a side? Tinubu practically intervened by imposing a state of emergency in Rivers and suspended Fubara when he was having the upperhand. Meanwhile, in Kaduna, he supported Uba Sani to rebel and go against Elrufai even though Elrufai never sought to be overbearing on Uba Sani. A president must be fair or at least be seen to be fair in order to command genuine respect.

Timmi:
Now everyone is coming out of wood claiming that they make Tinubu president, first it was El-Rufai, followed by Amaechi and now Fayemi. Political paperweights that Tinubu helped have become turncoat and an ingrate set of people. Tinubu will win the second term and Fayemi might as well join the Association of Disgruntled and Disenfranchised Coalition (ADC) because that is where he belongs.

We practically have videos of Tinubu begging Elrufai onstage in Kaduna to help him. Do you have any of Tinubu having helped Elrufai in any way or manner in the past? Tinubu supported the PDP candidate in Kaduna against Elrufai in 2019. Same thing he did against Amaechi in Rivers by using Magnus Abe to factionalise the APC. He is the originator of anti-party and his words mean nothing because he doesn't keep them.

El-Rufai Releases Video When Tinubu Was Begging Him to Work with Him

Lol 😆

Tinubu lackeys now stalk random users on X and other platforms scavenging for any and every reaction that can give them some iota of validation. It's a sign of low self-esteem, if you ask me. Peter Obi ally indeed.

JASONjnr:
First thing first..... Elrufai has to answer to his crimes.... Then this has nothing to do with the president or this government.

Every agencies have their role to play without the president's decision. The DSS, EFCC and other agencies behind his tail investigating Elrufai has northerners working in those agencies but people will rather point fingers to the government of the day.

Carwardice on display. Don't worry, the next government will also get a Yoruba person to handle the current usurper-in-power. We thank him for setting the precedence. Time is a gentleman.

Elrufai who made Tinubu president is under incarceration without bail but Yahaya Bello and Okowa are running for senate under APC. Mobutu did more than this. Where is he today?

Vision101:
Why are you turning round now. I have been reading your conversation all along. Something that is as clear as day you said that it's not provable in law. When security agencies advise you that you have a right to remain quiet and whatever you say can be used against you. You think that it's joke.

What did the government do wrong here. Even in advanced nations, is it not a crime to illegally tape security conversations. Arrogance brought Elrufai here. He thought that he can do anything and say anything and nothing will happen to him. He doesn't no Tinubu. A made who can take difficult decisions that can cost him his second tenure is the person that you are daring.

Keep clutching at straws. Is his detention in the ICPC for over 90 days now and counting as a result of the wiretapping allegation? What's the correlation between ICPC and wiretapping? Is that part of their mandate? When the DSS made attempts to arrest him at the airport after returning willingly to the country, was it as a result of the wiretapping that he hadn't even granted an interview on?

Tinubu is clearly afraid of the moves that Elrufai can make and this is just one of several ways he has been stiffling opposition parties and opposition voices. Yahaya Bello and Okowa just won the APC primaries to contest for senate. You can continue to praise Tinubu for it but the table will turn in a short while from now. Time is a gentleman.

lapintoz:
Mallam is not finding it funny in the gulag o. Like play like play this matter is going far.....from ICPC, to DSS, to Kaduna State High Court......I am not sure these people are clowning around.......even Nasiru people don dey raise alarm.

Be careful when you want to fight government out of anger, make sure you are above reproach. Mallam goofed by mis-yarning, creating the pathway for government to start tossing him left, right and centre.

Who dare to do this in a Buhari's government and go scotch free......

Is there something you know that you want to tell us? Since Mallam truly listened to the NSA's phone conversations, should we also believe the Thallium Sulphate allegations? The next government will definitely probe Buhari’s death further. Mallam may be on to something. The desperation to keep him incarcerated for a bailable offence is becoming suspicious.

RealityKings1:
You have no idea what you are saying.
He and his co-conspirators will explain better soon.

Don't worry. It will go round. Time is a gentleman. This arrogance was nowhere to be found barely 3 years ago. It will be gone in a little while. Better make the most of it.

RealityKings1:
That is not necessary.
he made an open confession of the act

Open confession to what crime? Prove that a crime was committed and how. An individual cannot be forced to testify against himself.

Clowns. The only evidence that can prove Elrufai's wiretapping allegation is a digital forensics evidence/report of the NSA's phone showing a
bridge or port forwarding of cell traffic or an unidentified hop in the network with a LAC not on
the service provider mesh (IMSI catcher). If the court accepts Elrufai's confession into evidence based on his credibility then the court would likewise accept the claims of ONSA conducting illegal tapping of citizens. It is what it is when it comes to law.

Well. That's the morally flexible individuals for you. They are promising every region and their dog the presidency now but will backstab them all as soon as their tin-god gets re-elected. They couldn't make Tinubu president so why should we believe they have what it takes to make any region president? The North made Tinubu president!

P.S: When they talk about Northcentral, they simply mean a Yoruba from Kwara.

Well, he had earlier warned that Operation Wetie began from the Southwest. They can't claim they were caught unaware.

ExudeLoveToAll:
When Tinubu refused supporting OBJ but supported others in the presidential election in 2003 wasn't he part of the omo ale? When he jeopardized the speakership of the south west in 2011 and made it go to the north West even when the north West already had sambo as vice president wasn't he the omo ale? It has come to his turn he wants everyone not to do same thing he did by using ethnic coersion on others. If he was a good candidate he doesn't need to do all of these.

Pay no mind to the Professional Shape-shifters. This time, their agenda is falling flat on its face.

fergie001:
Story.
How will Obi infiltrate Oyo?
GSM isn't working for Tinubu
The only SW State Obi will get 25% is Lagos .

The only SW State Atiku will get 25% is Osun but this time around Adeleke won't work for him.
Obi will clear all 5 SE States, difference will be that Tinubu will do better there than 2023.

So, the more the Southerners, the more problematic for the incumbent, anybody telling you otherwise don't know what's up!

As things stand now, Tinubu will be the only major candidate who won't get bloc votes from any region. We've always maintained that Tinubu is unpopular even in his Southwest region but some of his lackeys like to pretend otherwise. It took Makinde coming into the race for them to begin to confess. Tinubu can no longer run on a "turn of the South" campaign nor invoke tribalism to win. Makinde is more of an Omoluabi than he is.

fergie001:
Tinubu should really have sat down with GSM.

SW should be where he ought to be sweeping!

Fergie001, this thread should be quickly moved to the frontpage with the header, "Tinubu's Ally Panics, Asks Tinubu to Beg Makinde".

Cc: Seunmsg

LegendHero:
Guy if Seyi Makinde put all his heart for Tinubu in 2023 election, can you explain how Atiku got over 182k votes? Who are those that voted for Atiku in that election?

Atiku is more finished by Makinde. While we can argue Makinde might take 10% of Tinubu voting base in Oyo, he will eat more into traditional PDP stronghold of Atiku that for Atiku to even get any reasonable votes in any SW state will be a miracle.

Lol why will APC not get 25% in Oyo, even when Adeleke fully supported Atiku in Osun, APC still got over 45% of the votes. Shey na Oyo wey be the stronghold of core Yoruba people Jagaban no go come win.

Sometimes I marvel at the mentality of some of you. So a governor putting his whole heart in means the electorates can no longer vote their choices? Does it mean Obi stands no chance in his Southeast if all the APC governors put their whole hearts in? Would you change your mind from voting Tinubu if the APC governor in your state defects today and puts his whole heart into his new party? Atiku won more APC states in 2023 than PDP states and it wasn't because the APC governors didn't put their whole hearts in.

All I see in your permutation is fear speaking. Makinde will only make Tinubu bleed votes in the Southwest. Tinubu is supposed to win the SW in a landslide to stand a chance. In 2023, Atiku got 6.9m votes mostly from the North and the North still gave Tinubu 5.6m votes. If Tinubu is no longer popular in the North, that doesn't mean his previous 5.6m voters are now deceased or will be boycotting the election. Far from it. Majority of them will be voting Atiku instead to make up for whatever numbers he may lose in the SW. Atiku’s only challenge in 2027 will be meeting the ⅔ spread. He's already set to get the highest number of votes cast.

bestman09:
The pull him down party PHD, who tried to pull down NDC simply because they were not registered!

Or perhaps, a way to show you that the NDC, which was registered via court order, is an SPV and a Greek gift. Long before the court order was granted, it was widely reported that Wike would be fielding his candidates under the NDC if the APC insists on Fubara and his allies.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
This was 2003 not 2007

Wrong. That was 2007. He was on the ballot both in 2003 and 2007. Where went zoning? Did any Northerner asked him to step down?
