PoliticsRe: Off-Cycle Elections In Ekiti, Rivers, Ondo, Nasarawa, Kano States (Live Updates) by AMINDA: 10:56am On Jun 20
CharlesCNG:
This is exactly the excuse-making I predicted.

Before the election, they told us Nigerians had rejected APC. After the election, suddenly voters were “impoverished people collecting bread.”

So which is it?

If the people can be persuaded with bread, what did the opposition offer them besides anger, slogans and social media noise?

Did they campaign seriously?

Did they organise?

Did they mobilise voters?

Did they present a superior local alternative?

You cannot neglect preparation, lose an election, then insult the electorate as hungry people who were bought.

That is arrogance, not analysis.

And please, are all Ekiti voters impoverished? Or does that label only apply when they vote against your expectation?

If this election was a referendum, then the result is part of that referendum.

The incumbent campaigned, organised and delivered.

The opposition prepared excuses.

As usual, when they win, it is democracy. When they lose, it is bread.
I hope you and yours were able to collect a loaf yesterday? Is this the "organisation" that you wanted the opposition to do? The jokes write themselves.

PoliticsRe: Video: Peter Obi Is Not Sellable In The North - Fulani Man by AMINDA: 9:56am On Jun 20
Ttalk:
Oga Shettima is not a Fulani, he is a Kanuri man one of the major tribe in the North who rejected Fulani hegemony.

We are going to teach you politics this time around.

I want to ask you why is it a crime for a minority in the north, the middle belt or a Christian from the North to become the President?
That is what will happen after the 8year tenure of Tinubu.

Until the Fulani behave themselves in Nigeria, no one will give them vote. Your political north is dead on arrival, it's just the imagination of your wish
Okay. The North will be happy to learn politics from you. Why is Tinubu from the SW still running for president after 8 years of Obasanjo, 8 years of Osinbajo and another 4 years of Tinubu. Why wouldn't he step aside to support someone else from the Southeast or Southsouth?

Banditry started under the regime of Atiku brother buhari.


Electing buhari as president lead to the increase in insecurity e.g banditry and herdsmen crisis, which we are battling with now.

Atiku presidency is a No No.
Pray tell, under who's party was this Atiku brother and who travelled all the way to Daura to convince this Atiku brother to come help use his popularity to chase out Jonathan from the seat, citing insecurity, just so he can succeed him after 8 years? Who vowed to end the insecurity once and for all when he becomes president only to turn around and begin to blame political opponents after grabbing power?

PoliticsRe: LG Crisis: PDP Council Chairmen Resume Duties In Osun by AMINDA: 8:38am On Jun 20
Tinubu is beginning to feel the pressure from Osun. He now wants to walk back the wickedness he has perpetrated on the people of Osun but it's a little too late.

No sensible person will vote an Atiku, with the menace of kidnapping and banditry ongoing in the country.

Atiku is a no no.
But they will vote Tinubu, the Commander-in-Chief, under whose watch the kidnapping and banditry has spread. The jokes write themselves.
PoliticsRe: Off-Cycle Elections In Ekiti, Rivers, Ondo, Nasarawa, Kano States (Live Updates) by AMINDA:
Off-cycle elections almost always go the incumbent due to their ability to concentrate resources and literally throw bread at the citizens that they have impoverished. This was Ekiti yesterday. The opposition is not expecting much from the by-elections but will use it to gauge their strengths and weaknesses.

Just like Fulani vote could not make Buhari president until Tinubu came to his resque.
Atiku has been contesting since the day of Lord Lugard and the Fulani votes has always made him a failure. Is it now that Fulani are killing, maiming and taking NC and South land that Atiku will get vote beyond his Fulani enclave.

You don't seem to know the implications of Fulani bandit on northern politician acceptance
Atiku has never gotten Fulani votes. 2027 will be when he finally does and you will notice the difference. Despite all the killings and maiming happening under Tinubu's watch as president, why is he still hell-bent on repeating the muslim-muslim ticket while you cleverly try to eat from both pots by promising others the presidency? No be juju be that?

Nothing for Fulani in Nigeria until they stop their brothers killing Nigeria
Your votes couldn't even make Tinubu president. Tinubu only became president because of the Northern Fulani votes. That's why he ran on muslim-muslim ticket and is ready to disregard all consequences and do it again. The joke is on you. You are trying to whine the Northcentral that you have what it takes to handover power to them but Tinubu is hell-bent on repeating the same faith ticket because he knows better. No be from clap dance dey start?
PoliticsRe: Video: Peter Obi Is Not Sellable In The North - Fulani Man by AMINDA: 7:15am On Jun 20
Saying he has sympathy for Nnamdi Kanu is neither here nor there. If Sunday Igboho can be walking free, Nnamdi Kanu too can. Atiku will release Nnamdi Kanu on his first day in office. Tinubu just extended the tenure of the Comproller General of Customs for the second time when he should have long retired. Investigate further and you will discover it's because the next in line is not Yoruba. Nnamdi Kanu is not our problem. Tribalism is.

PoliticsRe: We Did Not Promise You Miracles, We Promised Renewed Hope - Akpabio by AMINDA: 6:50am On Jun 20
In other words, Nigerians should continue to "hope" in perpetuity while they amass wealth for themselves, family and cronies. Running on "renewed hope" as a campaign mantra after 4 years will be strategic mistake from the APC.
PoliticsRe: It Will Be Over For Tinubu, Momodu Outlines Atiku’s Strategy For 2027 by AMINDA:
Moroccoguy:
They believes in Jonathan treatment in which without the support of the south it's not possible, Tinubu as a president is different from Tinubu we know 4 years back. Atiku will only get 25% in the south if Obi is not on the ballot and the work seems more easier for Tinubu if Obi is on the ballot.
All previous Southern presidents enjoyed tremendous support from the rest of the South (except Obasanjo, who didn't enjoy support from the SW in his first tenure due to opposition from Tinubu who never supported him all through his 8 years). This isn't the case with Tinubu. He is even more unpopular in the South than he is in the North, and he is fast losing Northern support. Claiming Tinubu is not Jonathan is a mere cliché unless you mean he can use disqualification of his opponents or other ulterior means to declare himself president. The North made Tinubu president and as at today, Jonathan was in good standing in 2015 than Tinubu currently is.
PoliticsRe: It Will Be Over For Tinubu, Momodu Outlines Atiku’s Strategy For 2027 by AMINDA: 6:34am On Jun 20
I also forsee Tinubu panicking and attempting to use subterfuge in disqualifying one of the candidates (most likely Obi) thinking this will boost his chances. It will be a strategic mistake that will cost him the election as the people will revolt with their votes.
PoliticsRe: It Will Be Over For Tinubu, Momodu Outlines Atiku’s Strategy For 2027 by AMINDA: 6:27am On Jun 20
Mynd44:
As of today, I don't see a single southern state Atiku can get 25% from as long as Tinubu as Obi are on the ballot.

As for Dele Momodu saying he will compete in Osun, the only reason he won last time was Governor Adeleke, with that support gone, Atiku will struggle.

The one thing atiku can pray 🙏 for is to get the highest votes and fight for a rerun which is difficult
If Atiku won Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom in 2023 and got over 25% in Delta, is it in 2027 that he will fail to get 25% in any Southern state? 2023 was more of the "turn of the South" than 2027 will be and this time, Tinubu has been tested and has failed. The PDP structure who were sympathetic to Turaki still exists in those states and they will support Atiku. The Udom bloc in Akwa Ibom still exists and the Deputy governor of Bayelsa refused to decamp until he died under mysterious circumstances. Those bloc of votes are not for Tinubu. Atiku will also get good numbers in at least 2 states in the SW. Besides, once Nigerians see that Atiku has a clear path in emerging with the highest votes cast, a lot more people will flip and vote for him since Tinubu is very unpopular.

Hedonisco:
"Obi got 95% of the votes from his region and that amounted to 6 million". You can imagine this kind of barefaced lie, spewed with disgust and condescension.

Peter Obi scored over 2 million votes from the north, 1.9 million votes from the South East, 1.2 million votes from the South South, and over 800, 000 votes from the South West. And these are severely suppressed votes.

Peter Obi also brutalized both Atiku and Tinubu in Abuja to the extent that neither of them could get up to 25%, in the nation's capital and seat of government.

Yet you have the audacity to claim, like your master Atiku, that the bulk of Obi's votes are from the South East. Desperately trying to reduce him to a South East local champion even with clear empirical evidence to the contrary.

Cut the grass low and the snakes will show. Thank God that the so-called partnership with Atiku did not work. I can't imagine people like you and your kind in Atiku's circle having anything to do with reasonable Nigerians behind Obi who genuinely want the country to succeed.
Should I even respond to this? What's your stake or my business in whether the partnership with Obi and Atiku works out or not? Are you going to be a member of Obi's cabinet if he wins? This is the emotions we speak about. Bottomline is that Obi got 95% of his Southeastern region, yet it wasn't enough make him president. Atiku got barely 50% of the Morthern votes but yet, he got 6.9m votes with a bulk of those numbers coming from the North. The North split its votes four ways (Atiku got 6.7m, Tinubu got 5.6m, Kwankwaso got 1.4m and Obi got 2m) and still managed to determine the winner of the election. That's real leverage and numbers don't lie. If anything, I have always held the view that for Atiku to win, Obi needs to run independently. Unlike in 2023, Obi running in 2027 will be a disadvantage to Tinubu more than it will be to Atiku. Politics is science, not emotions. Listen to Dele Momodu's analysis that he just gave today.

Amaechi is once in 2022 APC primaries I think.
So in your view, one who indicates interest or vies for the primary ticket of a party and loses out has been on the ballot but one who contests the general election as a VP aspirant has never been on the ballot. Noted.

I know it's a matter of time before you atiku people play the tribal card.

We long saw your true colour that's why we insist that it's PO or tinubulations continue.

Mark my words, there is no pathway for Atiku's Victory in 2027.

The over 6millions heavily suppressed votes are from PO region alone or have any Igbo politian endorsed OK since the alliance?
Tribal card? Obi got 95% of the votes from his region and that amounted to 6 million. Atiku got 50% of the votes from his region in 2023 and that amounted to 6.7m. Can Obi get more votes from his region? If yes, how? Atiku will definitely get more votes from his region this time. Politics is science, not emotions.

Atiku is too proud. even if he will not honour agreement later but a smart politician will just use that lamba to get presidency. maybe he is afraid of how he was hostile to obasanjo and thinks he will get that treatment. ameachi was a good governor but don't have even south south appeal currently to harvest vote for Atiku and not to talk of south east.
Obi's votes are not transferable. Wasn't that what Obidients said? Amaechi does not need to deliver any state to Atiku. Amaechi is a stronger candidate than Okowa was. Atiku won Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa in 2023 and got over 25% in Delta. No candidate will win the SS in a landslide in 2027. Votes will still be shared.

Like I was shocked wining Obi over was all he needed to do

Few promises but instead he sent his foot soldiers to try to intimidate Obi and his supporters

Threatening not to even give him vice after the primary

2019,2023 was atiku to lose and he lost it

2027 is his to lose again , he is clearly losing it

The unprovoked attack on obi n obidient by atiku guys even till now was stupid ,they play their hands too early
It wasn't Atiku who came up with the slogan "Obi or nothing". Everyone knows the ADC gave Obi so much concessions all in a bid to make him stay. He was one of the last to join the coalition and the first to leave, deceived by the likes of Tanko and Aisha Yesufu who are only after campaign funds. He also got the leeway to field candidates from his camp in the FCT by-election. Immediately Kwankwaso the mole, joined the coalition, Obi began to move around with the "OK" t-shirt while still in a coalition, something Kwankwaso has never done till date. The handshake that was offered to Obi was not just to him as an individual. It was to the Southeast for them to get an opportunity to align with the North. Obi chose to move solo with his region, but no region can do it alone. However constrained, a form of alliance already exists between the North and the Southwest. Tinubu played the long game in 2015.

Atiku does not know when to hold, fold, walk away or run. That is aimless desperation at work especially at such an old age. He really should be hiding.🫣
2027 will be Atiku’s 4th time on the ballot and Obi's 3rd time on the ballot. Obi is not far-fetched from becoming a serial contestant as well. Atiku just happens to be ahead as he has been a VP in the past.

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU DON'T TRAVEL ROUND THE COUNTRY, OR RESEARCH PROJECTS ON YOUTUBE, SO STOP ARGUING WHEN YOU'VE NOT SEEN!
Incorrect! Apart from the 15 trillion naira Lagos coastal road which was commissioned at 30 kilometers, what major infrastructure project is currently ongoing or even completed by Tinubu? Buhari built roads, rails, airports and Ports. E reach Tinubu turn and we all have to "go back to our states" in order to see what he's doing with our money. Whereas, the data (not propaganda) says only 5% of the capital expenditure for roads was released in 3 years. Contractors besiege the Ministry of Finance HQ, protesting everyday for their money. The National Assembly is still holding seatings to approve the extension of 2025 budget implementation and we are already in the 3rd quarter of 2026.
PoliticsRe: Atiku Is Politically Unintelligent by AMINDA: 4:49pm On Jun 19
Nothing can pacify a man who kept saying "I must be on the ballot" from the get-go. In hindsight, for Atiku to stand a chance, Obi needs to be on the ballot. This is because Tinubu would have gotten sympathy votes from the South, if otherwise. With Obi on the ballot, he will as usual, mop Tinubu on the floor in the South. Meanwhile, the 5.6m Northern votes that came through for Tinubu in 2023 are all but gone. Once APC realises what they are up against, Obi might just get disqualified internally by the NDC. Dickson needs to be kept an eye on. The silence of the APC since Obi decamped to the NDC is very suspect.
