But Elrufai was once the Lord of the Lukumi people too and they benefitted off him. What's wrong if the Obidients also benefit? You think you are wise abi?

Lukumi people will never tire of pushing this agenda that Tinubu was sidelined by Buhari. Assuming but not conceding that the National Leader of the APC (with several ministerial nominees plus the VP and speaker) was sidelined and chose to keep quiet because of his ambition, is it beholden on Elrufai to do the same? Elrufai has moved on, Tinubu and his minions should do the same!

The kind wailing we will witness from you between 2027 to 2031, will be incomparable to what we witnessedfrom the Igbos, since 2015. You are everywhere on Nairaland, hyping an ordinary citizen against an incumbent President, because una be Hausa, with plenty alimajiris. Don't worry, 2027 will clear your doubt, you will realise that Hausa/Fulani are afterall not as indomitable as you think they are, it's partly because they've never met their equal in some Southern Politicians. Tinubu is here for a reason and Hausa/Fulani will be dymisfied!

Unity begger! Which Southern politicians are you referring to when your Man Friday is running a purely Yoruba-centric government? Tinubu's opposition will start from his backyard, the Southwest.

Influence! You either have it or you don't. Northern youths are very active on tiktok and Elrufai is already very popular amongst young Northerners. He would use the platform to further connect with the youth and do more damage to Tinubu. Game on!

See thinking. No use this sense cross road o. How many people decamped with Peter Obi to LP? The people that Elrufai would influence to not vote Tinubu voted for him in 2023. Its a net-loss for the APC whether you admit it or not. Besides, this is still 2025. The politicians that may or may not decamp will do so after gauging the pulse of their electorates and that would be close to the elections. Elrufai is doing a wonderful job setting that tone, especially in the North. The APC is jittery!

The Agbadorians say Elrufai is not popular but they have expended all their arsenal trying to combat him for weeks, and he seems to be having the upperhand. He has single-handedly revived the opposition. Elrufai is doing exactly what he's supposed to do, taking the momentum off Tinubu's campaign in the North. The real traditional opposition figures have not even entered the conversation yet and APC is in disarray.

These are Buhari’s disciples gauging the body language of their patron and doing the needful but Agbadorians are jubilating and patting themselves on the back just because Buhari said he's still a member of the APC. Is "I am for everybody and I am for no-one" a joke to y'all? Buhari's political mantra is like Nigeria's diplomatic policy, "non-alignment". We will all learn politics together.

Beyond all the false sense of magnanimity, one can easily tell that Tinubu has a very fragile ego. You can only work with him if you agree to bend the knee, wear the infinity logo cap and sing "on your mandate we shall stand". Even that is not good enough because he would throw you under the bus to preserve his own interests. Shettima and Gbajabiamila would be the next victims. This is why he cannot work with strong and highly opinionated individuals like Elrufai. He feels threatened by their strong presence.

It's not a coincidence that he changed deputies three times in 8 years as governor of Lagos, clashed with Fashola, clashed with Ambode and now attempting to clash with Sanwo-olu. The low self esteem is palpable. Pathetic!

What does "Commercial borrowing" now mean. Do they have worse contract terms than the IMF and World Bank loans that the government has been obtaining on a daily basis?

The entire Western region place their subsistence and economic activities on Lagos state that's why Lagos is outstanding... Single road project that links more than 10 states?!.

Which of these states have an active and functional seaport? Where the seaports in Lagos built by the Lagos state government or by the federal government using our collective patrimony. The coast belongs to the federal republic of Nigeria and not to Lagos State.

Goodvibes007:
It's BOT project. You don't seem to understand much about the coastal road project.

BOT yet the government gave 1 trillion in 2024 and God-knows-how-much in 2025. Who's fooling who? What does the O segment of the BOT entail? Tolls, tolls and more tolls. In other words, you and I will pay.

The government has been solely funding the project from the budget thus far. Otherwise, tell us how much of the contractor's money has been expended on the contract. Everything is so opaque, no transparency.

Max24:
Is it the govt that is financing the project? My understanding is that a higher percentage of the project is financed by the private sector. I am sure the private sector will provide the bigger chunk of needed finance. What's wrong with having foreign direct investment into Nigeria's infrastructure.

This argument is lame. Was it the government that provided all the money for Buhari’s railways? Are the private investors giving us their part of the finance as charity? At the end of the day, Nigeria and Nigerians will inevitably pay the full cost of the loan (with interest).

And you want progress for ur country?. Why would a state that's not productive be sharing VAT from a very productive state like Lagos and you think that's fair?.

Lagos is only productive as a result of its proximity to the coast (ports) and the combined efforts of all Nigerians. Otherwise, why isn't any other Southwestern state productive? The President just awarded 15 trillion (half of the country's budget) for a single road project in Lagos, yet you want to solely benefit off of that "productivity"?

2027 will follow a similar trajectory. The minority may have their say, but the majority will have their way at the end of the day.

Spending 15 trillion (half of the country's budget) on a single road without procurement is not only misplaced, it's fraudulent. It does not help that the contractor (Chargoury) is a business partner of the contract awardee. That's conflict of interest. A quarter of that sum would have completed the linking of the entire country by rail, as envisioned by Buhari. That would have had far more impact in terms of travel, tourism, logistics, business opportunities and social development.

Uba Sani is actively recommissioning projects and re-doing elaborate groundbreaking for projects already completed, instituted or attracted by Elrufai while undermining him and refusing to give credit. He has no single laudable project to his name, not even in Southern Kaduna (forget the propaganda). This is elementary politics from a man who campaigned on continuity.

Tinubu is relying upon the likes of Uba Sani to deliver northern votes but here's a video of Uba Sani being booed at his own polling unit during the sham of a local government elections a few months ago. Uba Sani is not on ground.

Yar PR kawai. This was Uba Sani being booed when he arrived to cast vote. The security couldn't intimidate the crowd 👍 https://t.co/U3BHahSK0V pic.twitter.com/OiIukXPm8o

I think l heard him when he was interviewed in one of these news media either bbc or voa in which he clearly stated that he sought permission from Buhari before leaving the party. Don't rely on politicians words. He can always deny it if it's necessary to do so

Did you hear him in the interview saying Buhari has left the APC? He visited Buhari in a widely publicised visit to "inform" him of his decision to leave the APC. Did Buhari say anything to the contrary? The 5.6m northern votes that Tinubu got was inspite of Buhari and not because of him. Infact, core Buharists voted against Tinubu and nothing has changed. Rather, Tinubu has further alienated the one man who largely contributed to that figure in the North. 2027 will be interesting.

Lol. The numbers show that Buhari was a far better President than Tinubu is. This one has almost quadrupled the loans with nothing to show. Very overrated.

You all think Buhari is naiive. Agbadorians are celebrating Buhari for saying he's still a member of the APC. They forget that Northerners who supported Tinubu in 2023 did so in inspite of Buhari and not because of him. Elrufai it was, who pricked the conscience of the North and even then, a lot of Northerners still voted Atiku instead. It was obvious that Buhari’s body language even then was more of neutrality. Nothing will change heading into 2027. Buhari will not go out of his way to campaign for Tinubu in the North. But we will all learn the politics together.

Nothing to see here. By 2027, he'll be here to tell us he was wrong about Tinubu if he losses the election. Wendell Simlin and the Lukumi people have a lot in common. Very flexible "shape shifters". A match made in heaven indeed!

Elrufai never claimed Buhari has left the APC. Agbadorians are already congratulating themselves for having won the election in 2027. They are now relying on Buhari’s support but we all saw the outcome of "Buhari’s support" to Tinubu in 2023, especially in Katsina. Northerners who voted Tinubu in 2023 did so inspite of Buhari and not because of Buhari. Tinubu has further reduced that number by alienating the man who contributed immensely to that.

Even if Tinubu loses the election in 2027, the APC can still continue to exist and Buhari would still be a member of the party. The undeniable fact is that majority of the North has parted ways with the party and Buhari cannot salvage that. At least, Agbadorians can no longer accuse Buhari of anything if Tinubu ends up losing the election. Unlike in 2023, there will be no 5.6m northern votes waiting for him to come and collect. How you know Tinubu's re-election chances are threatened is that the current rancour in the political space is between the APC and former APC. The real and traditional opposition figures have not even joined the conversation yet.

Agbadorians are celebrating and having a wankfest after Buhari said he's still in APC but the same people told us Buhari never supported Tinubu. The bitter truth is that Northerners who supported Tinubu in 2023 did so inspite of Buhari and not because of him. Elrufai it was, who pricked the conscience of the North and even then, a lot of Northerners still voted Atiku instead. It was obvious that Buhari’s body language even then was more of neutrality. Nothing will change heading into 2027. Buhari will not go out of his way to campaign for Tinubu in the North and any vote SDP gets in the North is a traditional vote that would have gone to the APC. They know it!

Elrufai never said Buhari has left the APC. He was asked a question in an interview on BBC Hausa if Buhari was aware he was leaving the APC (considering their closeness), he responded by saying yes, he visited Buhari and informed him about his decision and reasons for leaving, and Buhari gave his blessings. Where then is the controversy? The videos of his interview and his visit to Buhari last Friday are publicly available. If the Yorubas are counting on Buhari coming out to actively campaign for Tinubu in 2027, then they clearly don't know the man. Similarly, if Northerners were to have taken a cue from Buhari’s body language in 2023, Tinubu would not have gotten 5.6m votes from the North as Buhari was more or less neutral and nothing will change.
