Jossyman0007:
You keep changing your tone like Tinubu's diaper.
One minute you justify why El-rufai and the North rally support for Tinubu because it was believe it was the southern turn after Buharis 8 years, just after 3 years your stand and principle has changed?
All I see is Unprincipled power seeking individual,I no longer take you seriously.

Elrufai was a member of the APC. He rallied his fellow Northern APC governors for power to rotate to the South after 8 years of Buhari in the APC. Did you see Elrufai rallying PDP governors like Bala Mohammed to support Tinubu? Zoning is a party affair. That is exactly why Atiku won your state Akwa Ibom, won Bayelsa and won Osun after 8 years of Buhari. I do not expect this to be hard for you to comprehend. Despite the North giving Tinubu 5.6m votes, Atiku also had 6.9m votes mostly from the North. Not even Tinubu was expecting ALL Northerners to vote for him in 2023. He can't be that naïve. I can't say the same of some other people

MAJOR THROWBACK!

Jossyman0007:
Why did you then support El-rufai's stand in 2023 that power should gravitate towards the South to balance the zoning arrangement?, you've even posted that video here severally to justify why El-rufai and the north rally round to give Tinubu 5.6m votes,
So I ask again,what has changed this time?.
Oga,stay one place and don't confuse the thunder that is seeking for justice ooo
Is time no longer a gentleman?? Habamana!!

LottiOk:
Shame on you‼️😁😅😂🤣
From the North won't vote for Tinubu to the North will vote Tinubu to pepper the SE 😁😅😂🤣 even your confusion is confused. 😁😅😂🤣

Nwokem, which should we accept ⁉️
.The North won't vote PBAT or
.They'll vote him cos SE ditched you coalition of disgruntled politicians and refused to vote for Atiku.

Pick 1 bro and stop disgracing yourself speaking with both sides of your mouth.


Have some shame bro cos receipts plenty for NL and will be used to further disgrace you after the elections next year.

Have some shame, cos I can imagine how disappointed you are that all you thought was a great move to oust PBAT has been rubbished by you fellow delusional,shallow minded Obidents. After all your grandstanding and braggadocios lies, e don clear for your eyes what many logical minds have been trying to make you realize even before the FCT elections.

I can't wait for next year's elections, many of you shallow minded kindergarten political analysts especially you, will runaway from social media and change monikers just to read news and comments on NL.

Smh. Obi defeated Tinubu across the entire South in 2023, including in Lagos. Tinubu only won 4 Yoruba states out of 17 Southern states. The North made Tinubu president. If the same repeats itself in 2027, where will Tinubu's votes come from? It's a simple question.

Jossyman0007:
My brother,you are 100% correct ooo,I'm waiting to hear any northern born to rule slowpoke shout"it's turn of the north" when Tinubu presents a formidable southern candidate after his disastrous 8 years.
Like Aminda would say" TIME IS A GENTLEMAN"

Zoning remains a party affair. No Northerner will cry over the decision of any political party to field a non-Norrherner. Except for APC members with ambitions who are hopeful for power to be handed over to them. That's their party affair. The North has enough numbers to take care of itself. They made Tinubu president.

Jossyman0007:
You must think that I'm a Tinubu supporter?, that's where you miss the point.my gross with you is supporting Atiku to take over from Tinubu, instead of supporting Obi with better chances, couple with the southern turn mantras which you northern lots don't joke with when it's the turn of the north.
Hope you won't cry foul when Tinubu presents a strong southern candidate in 2031?. Like you always say......"Time is a gentleman"

No Northerner will cry for a ticket or ask any aspirant to step down. That will be an all APC affair and it's left for Northern APC members to either accept it or revolt. It will not apply party-wide so any party is free to field a candidate from any region. What is the incentive for the North, that's currently VP, to support Obi to remove another Southerner from power that has already done four years? If Tinubu is doing a fantastic job as a Southerner, then he deserves a second term. Let's vote for him. The Southeast should actually be more desperate to get Tinubu out of power. In 2015, Tinubu had to travel from Lagos to Daura to convince Buhari out of retirement to come get his fellow Southerner out of power. Even then, he didn't ask for the ticket, he was willing to deputise Buhari. That's how he moved from opposition to incumbent. Clinical, strategic, long game. When he said "Emi Lokan" in 2023, the North understood and returned the favour. Northerners always pay their debts but nothing goes for nothing.

Jossyman0007:
If only you knew the hatred I have for Tinubu,you won't put me and Tinubu in same pedestal,but as it stands,I repeat and reemphasize that instead of Atiku to win 2027 election,I'd rather Tinubu remain till 2031.
Dem no bury una placenta for ASO ROCK.

If Obi could garner 6 million votes with no support from any governor,and Atiku having same #6 million votes with support from PDP governors,then ,you do the math and predict 2027 result for both.
Cheers!!

No wahala. We will compare notes after the 2027 elections. If you had so much capacity, Atiku would not have won your state after 8 years of Buhari. Akwa Ibomites love Atiku.

They should all play along. He deserves it. Afterall, INEC is doing the same for Tinubu.

"Next" president right? Okay daddy, we get the message. So shall it be.

LottiOk:
See as you they change mouth all of a sudden ‼️😲🙆🏿

The same you who keeps spewing your usual trash of how d North hates Tinubu and wants to vote him out cos he disenfranchised them, is now saying a sizeable number of northerners still want him in power.

Have some shame bro, no be everything you suppose talk, try hide your face till after elections cos many of your posts here will be used against you when the results from the North for PBAT starts coming in.

Does BAT still need Northern votes? I thought you said the North didn't make him president. My point is, the joke is on Southeasterners who say "let Tinubu continue". They are the ones with no leverage as far as national politics is concerned. The ADC offered a chance to have a foot in the door. Soon, if Seyi Makinde defects to the ADC, the SW will also be well represented and well positioned in both the APC and the ADC. That's how you play national politics. Not one-way like herded sheeps.

With the Supreme Court ruling, Wike has lost control of the PDP and he's now left with next to nothing. APC will insist on giving Fubara the structure as a means of further neutralising Wike. This was all pre-engineeeed.

Tinubu supporters should have a sense of self-esteem and stop lifting opinions on twitter and creating threads on them with such headers. Elrufai ally, Obi's ally, etc. There's a big difference between a supporter, an admirer, a fan and an ally.

Like we said, Obi's Southeastern base will be balkanized with some sticking with the ADC while his middlebelt votes are virtually non-existent. Half of Kwankwaso's voters in Kano will also vote ADC this time. Kwankwaso is carrying out a hatchet job for Tinubu like he did in 2023 by running. This is why Abba Kabir defected to the APC so he will not lose no matter the outcome. Obidients will realise all of this when the results start trickling in. It's Doyin Okupe all over again.

1bunne4lif:
you're wrong bro, Atiku is hell bent on consensus, it's his first option

Okay. We hope Obi will be participating in a direct primary in his newfound party?

Water carriers above me having palpitations. Why are you all and Tinubu afraid of a fair and level-playing election? Under the NADECO freedom fighter, ALL major political parties are having sponsored court cases and rancour. All with no single exception. Posterity will be very unkind to him.

Jossyman0007:
So,it means Tinubu is working, right?, he's no longer marginalizing the North.
Your hypocrisy stinks to high heaven.

PROUDLY ANANG MAN,,go check it up!

ANANG Man, why didn't you deliver your state to Tinubu in 2023? Why did Atiku win Akwa Ibom in 2023 after 8 years of Buhari? Who's to say you wouldn't be saying the same of Atiku if he had won in 2023 like you wanted him to? You are now loud after Northerners went against their own son to make Tinubu president. Your much touted loyalty to Tinubu today is purchased with money. Nothing organic.

Jossyman0007:
To an average Fulani man,if you are not Yoruba,then you must be an Igbo man,Oga wise up!, there are other tribes in Nigeria than youruba, Hausa and Igbo.

I'm a proud South southerner,okay?
Now,back to the topic.........
Atiku will never benefit from the southern turn,let him wait till 2031 ,if God keeps him alive till then.
Cheers

Just make sure you queue up and actually vote Tinubu on that day. Voter apathy and sitting at home will not be enough. There are just enough Northerners who also want Tinubu to continue. The North does not put all its political eggs in one basket.

Jossyman0007:
I'd rather have Tinubu get a 3rd term than have Atiku on the ballot in 2027. Let the North vote and make him a northern president.
The present momentum in ADC is due to the presence of the Obidients group,I'm sure you are aware of this??

Northerners can leave with that. Can you? VP, Deputy Senate President and Speaker are all Northerners. Here is the list of projects approved by FEC just yesterday. Find your region on the list. This doesn't include the Kaduna and Kano light rails wortj trillions that was approved too. You won't be exempyed from paying back the loans, though. "Let Tinubu continue" is not a threat to the North. The South didn't vote him. 5.6m Northerners did.

1bunne4lif:
you listened and yet can't comprehend, Obi is demanding for direct primaries, let there be primaries not consensus Oga. Atiku has lost his influence, he thinks he still commands respect, Believe it or not, Obi will beat Atiku in a free and fair primary election

By the electoral act, if even one candidate refuses to go with conscensus, direct primaries must take place. If this is the excuse Obi has cited for wanting to leave the ADC, he lied to you. All he needed to say was "No".

Jossyman0007:
I'm surprised you didn't bring in Atiku and northern oligarchy into this?.
I repeat, instead of Atiku to win 2027 election,I'd rather Tinubu continue.
Dem no bury una (Northerners ) placenta for ASO ROCK

Are you having a laugh? Northerners voted Tinubu into power. You didn't. Northerners are well represented and positioned in the APC, you aren't. A Northerner is currently VP, Deputy Senate President and speaker. Your man is proud of his "Number 6" position and wears it with pride. Who told you there aren't Northerners interested in seeing Tinubu continue till 2031 when they fully take over? "Let Tinubu continue" is not the threat you think it is to the North. Northerners are always in power, just different power blocs. The bigger question is, what's in it for your region? In 2015, Tinubu was in the same position the Southeast currently is. He seized the opportunity by travelling all the way to Daura to convince a retired Buhari to come get his Southern brother out of power. The rest is history.

1bunne4lif:
L did you listen to obi's interview after the coalition? Go back and take a listen. Obi clearly said that he's in for direct primaries while Atiku is hoping for a consensus

You can only sell such lies in your WhatsApp group. Obi has never participated in a primary election. Not even when he was governor. He will still be seeking for a free ticket in his new party. The talks about Atiku dollarising the primaries is no longer sellable hence the new lies.

1bunne4lif:
did I hear you say north?
Who and who are his ally in the north?
All the people that held him in high esteem from the north are now in the APC, think again

So why then is Obi afraid of a direct primary and demanding for the ticket?

This closet supporter of Tinubu can no longer hide his bias. The Supreme Court verdict left them disappointed. Any other mushroom verdict given at the lower courts will not stop the ADC from being on the ballot because the law is clear on the non-judisciable nature of a party's internal affairs. Tinubu will face very formidable opposition at the ballot. Elections are won through the ballots in Nigeria, not through the courts.

Freshtruth:
This man is the major problem of Adc has no respect for zoning north time he go run , south time u go run. Na only u they? U no feel back obi but make obi back u



This man na very bad person

Please mind the door. Don't let it hit you on your way out. No free ticket in the ADC. All candidates will subject themselves to the party's direct primaries.

Bentacur007:
I expect Obi to resign too.. Atiku is very greedy I have never seen any greedy politician like him..He doesn’t calculate well and he is not very smart

Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

solreb:
The scenario you painted above will actually make PBAT to win based on the following. It will be a tight race between AA and PBAt in the core north while PBAT will take both NW and SW. Obi will lead in SE with PBAT taking a good chunk better than 2023. So the truly will still be PBAT followed by AA and Obi with PBAT having more votes than 2023.

But I believe that Obi will run as VP to AA.That is his best shot

You lost me at PBAT will take Northwest. You are clearly not informed.

1bunne4lif:
This assertion is wrong, Obi is open to direct primaries, it's Atiku that's hell bent on consensus.
If consensus is to be considered, the south should have it in order to balance the unwritten zonal law of 8 years north, 8 years south

That's outrightly false. Atiku has a clear advantage even in a direct primary. The North has more registered members. Obi has never participated in a primary in his political career. He wants Atiku to step down from the race but that's undemocratic.

Willy2025:
Because Buhari never wanted him as the successor in 2023. He allowed Obidients to rig mindlessly. This time around Obi won't see 20k in Lagos. Bookmark this. If he gets 20k votes, I owe you 1m.

You don't have 1m to spare but deal! If you use violence to prevent other Southerners from voting Obi in the SW, the same will be done against Tinubu across other parts of the South.

DeLaRue:
You're already baking in Adeleke victory into your calculations. You also assume that the Presidential election in the SW will be conducted in a free and fair manner.

1. My suspicion is that APC will take Mr Adeleke's promise of support with a pinch of salt. The likes of Mr Tinubu and Osun APC are too experienced to believe an opposition Governor.

2. Following from 1, APC will do everything possible to win Osun Governorship. I fear that election will be very violent, or there will be so much military and other forces deployed that many opposition voters will be too intimidated to come out to vote. Just speculation. I could be wrong.

Thank you for alluding to how unpopular Tinubu is in Osun and indeed other parts of the Southwest. If he has to resort to rigging, violence and intimidation in his own state of origin in order to win, then I have nothing else to add. Even the most ardent Tinubu supporter always end up admitting that Tinubu will only win if he rigs the election. Well, rigging has its limitations. If Tinubu forcefully rigs Adeleke out, the people will revolt against him with their votes in the presidential elections.

DeLaRue:
My brother, Mr Tinubu was not President then, and it wasn't Mr Atiku that won the Osun votes, it was PDP as a party, and a PDP Governor. The 2027 scenario will be different.

Please see the new addition to my last comment.

Yorubas are quiet now (as they tend to do in these situations), but no group in Nigeria wants a President from their region humiliated out of office. That's just the reality.

You practically just saw the other bloc of the PDP pledging to field a single presidential candidate at the Ibadan Declaration and you think the PDP structure is dead? PDP remains intact in Osun (forget the false posture of Adeleke promising to support Tinubu), Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa. Remember how the deputy governor of Bayelsa refused to decamp until he "died" under mysterious circumstances. The recent supreme court judgement seeming to give a lifeline to the PDP might be the ruling party's tactic to forestall the Makinde PDP aligning with the ADC.

If the Yorubas resort to tribalism and vilification of the Fulanis as an election winning strategy, it will only make Tinubu's loss more woeful, especially in the North. Tinubu won with 5.6m votes from the Hausa/Fulanis. The same will be the case in the South if the SW whips up ethnic sentiments against the Igbos in states like Lagos. Tinubu is already more unpopular now than in 2023 when he was an untested candidate and had the benefit of doubt.

Same Osun where Tinubu is withholding Local government allocations? Lol. Time is a gentleman.

DeLaRue:
You are right that Mr Atiku will likely increase his vote counts in the North.

But as you know, that alone will not secure him the Presidency. He needs to meet the 25% requirement in 24 states. That's a massive ask, because without Mr Obi, ADC doesn't really have any Southern politician that can help ADC in the South. That's a big weakness for Mr Atiku.

I speculate that Mr Makinde will not deliver 25% of votes in Oyo fir ADC, even though ADC may do much better in the Governorship election in that State.

Atiku contested after 8 years of Buhari and won Osun, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa. Make of that what you will. Seyi Makinde as VP will deliver 25% of the votes in Ibadan. Tinubu may have lost Oyo if Makinde supported Atiku in 2023. Seyi was fully on ground. Most of Obi's Southwestern supporters who are disillusioned with Tinubu will also now vote an Atiku with Seyi as Vice. Tinubu will not win the Southwest in a landslide no matter what any of his supporters say. We know this as a fact.

Willy2025:
There is no credible organised opposition to the 2nd term of Tinubu. Our philosophy in Yorubaland is that we don't vilify our son whether good or bad. Omo Eni o le buru, ki a fi fun ekun je (you cannot feed your son to a tiger because he is a bad boy). If a boy fails in Yorubaland, you simply ask him to repeat the class. If you are saying that Tinubu has failed (though he is doing exceptionally well), then he must be allowed to repeat the presidency. Afterall, he said EMILOKAN
It is still the turn of the Yorubas, so Obi et al. should wait for their turn. You see this 2027, it is either snatch or grab. Una go learn in what way again?

Why did your son lose in Lagos that he governed for 8 years and resides in and in Osun, his state of origin? Do you think your son is currently President because of your votes?
