The same ATIKU/OBI that even buhari defeated before 1pm on election day in 2019 presidential election?

"Even Buhari?" Tinubu is not Buhari. He has no organic voters anywhere, not even in the Southwest or in Lagos. Buhari had 12 million Northern voters that were with him until the day of his death. Tinubu won with 8.3m votes and 5.6m out of this were Northern votes, thanks to the likes of Elrufai. Again, Tinubu is not Buhari.

I just knew it's okechukwu and his gangs of never do well... The facts they still parade themselves as ohaneze is a testament that the judiciary is effectively useless

We know what they are trying to do and who their sponsors are. They are trying to pitch the North against the Southeast having seen that the old Northern-Eastern political alliance is about to be reawakened.

WizardOfNG:
OP, you believe this? You think Germany view FFK as you lot do?

Whoever penned the so-called rejection is a Nigerian manipulating other Nigerians because he/she knows what triggers/bait you lot.

I.e FFK, Tinubu and Nigeria "humiliated". Food for the bigoted, ethnically divided and lunch mob-minded Nigerians.

Why Germany would make public the reasons for rejecting FFK, assuming they did, is what any intelligent person, with a minimum understanding of international diplomacy, would wonder.

No problem. Let Femi Fani Kayode dispel the rumours by posting his letter of acceptance. Has he even stepped foot in Germany after his appointment? Tambuwal was right, Tinubu has no capacity to govern a large and diverse country like Nigeria. He seems overwhelmed and distracted by politicking from day one. He's just a regional champion with a large warchest.

Says someone who had a meeting with Tinubu and Makinde at the villa where he promised to "hold down" the PDP to Tinubu's advantage.

Not even Lagos will be easy for him to win unless he disenfranchise voters from other ethnicities.

The remorse or apology of a serial betrayer is highly suspicious and worth next to nothing. He will betray again with the slightest chance he gets.

Lmao. Pantami the Kingmaker. One felt shame, the other indifference.

Meanwhile, look at the countenance of the treacherous snake feeling remorseful already. Even the apology of a betrayer is suspicious.

PO continue to build bridges across the Niger.

Showing sympathy and being there in time of grief occasion by the reckless actions of the tinubu and his attack dogs.

True. The North will remember. There will be a true handshake across the Niger and a reawakening of the old Northern-Eastern alliance.

Mallam Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai. All people of good conscience are with you on this difficult day.

Is he having a laugh? Why does he need salary when his business partner, Chargoury, is overseeing numerous projects worth over 18 trillion naira with little to no transparency?

From man-made tear gas to heaven-sent bees. That's just a tip of the divine plagues that has been sent against them. Rejected on earth, rejected in heaven.

press9jatv:
Na big fish ADC catch here. Kwankwaso is a grassroots politician too.

Tinubu can continue splurging the cash to amass political fingerlings with no real pull or influence, while ADC attracts the "big fishes" and the mandate of the people. We will all learn politics together.

fatherjesse:
Nairaland has been silent on the teragassing of APC supporters in Abuja yesterday, something is not adding up

There is tacit news suppression going on in order not to embarrass the ruling party. The whole convention was lacklustre and was overshadowed with news about Elrufai.

Validated:
If Peter Obi leaves ADC as is being thought by APC minion, he might run under NDC, that way Southern votes will be fractured. The winner will be Atiku.
As fir me and my household, we are sticking to ADC to flush out the Agbadonians.

Tinubu has no pathway to re-election. If Obi runs under the NDC, Tinubu will struggle to win the South and will definitely get defeated by Obi in the South again, just like in 2023. Unlike in 2023 however, Tinubu can no longer win the North and will get flawlessly defeated by Atiku. When Elrufai said Tinubu might come a distant third, it looked amusing but it's fast becoming a reality.

Why would a son want to become president before his father?

Lithiumite:
I thought tinubu ordered the withdrawal of the police from vip protection duties,isn’t this a direct confirmation that the president was only bluffing......this is really sad.

Why does the plateau cultural costume look similar to that of southern Africa,are they related in anyway?

Obidients, this is your plateau out the window,same for nassarawa and benue,I heard you are still hoping on lagos and South South.

Are you having a laugh? MC Oluomo moves around with armed military personnel.

Tinubu had respected Northern figures in his corner like Elrufai but he betrayed them and replaced them with yes-men and political hangers-on whose messaging cannot resonate with the North. Who will replace Elrufai's 2023 campaign messaging for Tinubu in 2027? No respected influential Northerner will go all out for him again without looking ridiculous. That's the price of treachery and betrayal.

Ballmer:
Mod should quickly hide this thread, I do not want any obidient wailing here this weekend because Bola Tinubu second his heavenly divine from the almighty.

I'm shaking right now. Honourable Mumuni Jibrin is about to deliver Kano to Tinubu. We will all learn politics together.

If that man is 74, my parents haven't met yet.

yemmit90:
Listen guy, i have no business with party politics or ethnic jargons you guys are always arguing about on Nairaland. If at this age and time you don't know that Nigeria can't work with this present arrangements, then I have nothing to say but to keep worrying about the future of our youths in which you are probably one of.

Tinubu and APC are disaster but those guys in opposition are even worse. They have governed in various capacity with absolutely nothing to show for it, so only a dumb youth will be clamoring for them to come back to power.

To make a meaningful progress, this country need to be governed along the ethnic line and capacity.

We see what you're trying to do. The classic "Tinubu isn't good but opposition isn't better" cliché. We ain't buying it. Tinubu has been tried as president and the verdict is out there. No member of the current opposition has been president. Why should we continue with Tinubu? Just because he's your fellow Southwesterner? It's just funny how talks about "Yoruba nessan" gains traction when you ain't in power or when your position is threatened. Where is Sunday Igboho and why did Tinubu jail Nnamdi Kanu if he believes what you're trying to say? He has from now till February 2027 to change the Constitution and grant you secession. The clock is ticking.

correctyourself:
A case of beating a to child and while crying also telling the children, oohh sorry oooo

A case of an arrogant megalomaniac and serial betrayer realising, albeit too late, that he has bitten the hands that fed him and replaced assets with liabilities and hangers-on with no real political value as the elections fast approaches and is now trying to undo that out of panic.

To all the "Elrufai is irrelevant because he didn't deliver Kaduna" crew, know that he brokered the deal that has now brought Kwankwaso and Atiku together exactly a year ago. Ditto Atiku and Obi. Tinubu knows why he has him incarcerated. He knows what Elrufai can do. El-Rufai may not be your everyday politician but he is a dangerous strategist and he made Tinubu president. FACT!

kokoA:
Well, his children carried on with his beliefs, I give him kudos for that, he was a great father but a not to great president.

What belief? Didn't you all tell us that Buhari worked against Tinubu? If Buharists want to honour Buhari in death, it will be to work against Tinubu's re-election because his water carriers already told us Buhari never wanted him to be president.

Putindbutt:
E go too pain coalition of failures who are trying to claim Buhari's 12 million followers.

No problem. Buhari’s daughter and Aisha Buhari will deliver Tinubu in the North come 2027. Rumours were already rife that Buhari separated from her mother, Aisha, before his death. Her scathing and demeaning book on the late Buhari that was launched by Tinubu at Aso Villa with no Buharist in attendance speaks volumes about who is bankrolling the project but he's betting on the wrong horse.

yemmit90:
May Tinubu be the last president of a united Nigeria.

We caynt make progress with these set of politicians and leaders. Let each region start afresh with new constitution that aligned with 21st century reality and progress.

Lol. Fear is that you? We are now back to "Yoruba Nessan" because Gawuna resigned from the APC? Did you say the same when Abba Kabir and other governors decamped to the APC? Why are you scared of a few individuals when you have all 36 governors? "Let each region start afresh" but Tinubu jailed Nnamdi Kanu for advocating for same after usurping the turn of the Southeast to produce a president from the South. Well, he has between now and February to bring the so-called new Constitution.

erad:
Lol... Remind me again who wrote a letter to Buhari discrediting Tinubu and his impact and that of the southwest in making Buhari president.

You all just think you can rewrite the history that played out before our very eyes. If anyone is a betrayal, it's definitely Nasir. Play stupid games, win stupid prices.

My condolences to his family, may God grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.

You people are insufferable. Masters at betrayal and rewriting history. Same letter where he told Buhari that Tinubu, Kwankwaso and other stakeholders are feeling sidelined and urged him to do something about? Elrufai is an upright man and doesn't go through corners irrespective of his weaknesses. Here are excerts from the memo and a link to the memo where you can download it for yourself. Tinubu betrayed Elrufai and is now feeling guilty after discovering that the likes of Ribadu can't save him in the North.

Akpakomiza2:
As palliatives not for defecting, stop misinterpreting or misinformation. Atiku has lost, you yourself know it

Okay you now admit that APC governors got 500 billion naira for palliative but non-APC governors didn't. Why then are you surprised that governors are defecting to APC? They are doing it for "their people".

Akpakomiza2:
I never said Gawuna is a nobody. Gawuna has not defected, even kwankwaso is still in nnpp. Open your eyes, Atiku has lost

Today's exclusive from People's Gazette. Meanwhile, Tinubu is still persecuting Sanwo-olu via Ms Achimugu for allegedly funding Atiku in 2023. We will all learn politics together.

Akpakomiza2:
Did you see any governor getting 500 bil? How much did APC buy governors in 2015? A governor doesn't have to win his state, getting those significant votes while keeping the opposition in check is their main job. Atiku won three states in the south in 2023 and those three states had PDP governors. Infact, atiku has his highest votes where PDP had governors. You no Sabi politics

From the horse's mouth. He has now defected to APC.

"I know of States that have received over 500 billion Naira from the Federal Government as palliative, but I have never received anything.

I think the reason I don't get it is because I'm not in APC.

Even the el rufai that you are all making noise about that he made tinubu president could only get an abysmal 29% from his state......but the dynamics are different now and the opposition is too fragmented and weak to hold any formidable challenge......tinubu will win with a landslide.

Elrufai was not on the ballot. The job he did for Tinubu cannot be quantified by the number of votes Tinubu got in Kaduna. 29% in Kaduna in an election where a formidable Atiku was also contesting is a huge win. Anyways, Elrufai and Atiku are now in the same party. Kaduna is a cosmopolitan state just like Lagos and votes will always get split but it is still the political capital of the North. Southern Kaduna voted Obi while Northern Kaduna splitted their votes between Atiku, Tinubu and Kwankwaso. Tinubu won only 4 states out of 17 Southern states. It was the margins he got across the North due to the efforts and messaging of the likes of Elrufai that made him president. Were the North supposed to love him more than he is loved at home? He was the only major presidential candidate that failed to win his own state in 2023.

professorPABX:
Where is the Propaganda? What is propaganda? Is Lateef Fagbemi a Lawyer of the same Professional integrity like Malami or Andoakaa? Who are the interests excluded in the resolution of the crises? Which court validated them as interests in the deal ? ATIKU was a Vice President that made himself a defacto President because OBASANJO just came out of prison and was busy on reforms in 2001 and 2002 when the crisis began. ATIKU was indirectly part of the deal.

Oando owned by Wale Tinubu acquired NNPC retail and got so many deals in the first 6 months of Tinubu's presidency to become one of the most valuable companies in Nigeria. Tinubu's business partner, Chargoury, is currently implementing over 18 trillion naira worth of projects under questionable procurement processes. Stop the projection already. Nigerians know the truth.

Akpakomiza2:
Which Ganduje men? What is salihu electoral value? Why do you always deceive your self? Atiku does not exist in Kano and Tinubu will always rubbish him there

Okay o. Salihu is nobody. Gawuna is nobody and even Kwankwaso is nobody in Kano. Time is a gentleman.
