CharlesCNG: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.
|
Ttalk: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? |
garykoeman:Was he being truthful here or he was just lieing as usual just to get those sumptuous Fulani votes?
|
garykoeman: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?
|
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. |
garykoeman:But they will vote Tinubu, the Commander-in-Chief, under whose watch the kidnapping and banditry has spread. The jokes write themselves. |
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.
|
Ttalk: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? |
Ttalk: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? |
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.

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. |
Moroccoguy: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. |
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. |
Mynd44: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.

KanwuliaExtra:1993 Vs MKO: Atiku stepped down and supported MKO. 2011 Vs GEJ: Atiku came 2nd in the primaries and supported Jonathan. 2015 Vs Buhari: Atiku came 3rd in the primaries and supported Buhari. |

Hedonisco: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. |
KanwuliaExtra: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. |
KanwuliaExtra:A fictitious crop of an unknown blog post? So it's safe to say Amaechi has been on the ballot twice already. Not so? |
Kanwulia:List the 7 times that Atiku has been on the ballot and the political parties. |
Ambassador to nowhere has used one of his numerous moniker to comment on his page and has proceeded to reply himself. When will the World Cup be over so "Mehico" can finally accept Reno as an Ambassador? |

Exousiang01:Are there FG bridges in other states or not? |
Tenses: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. |
kedeojo: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. |
esnbrutality:Unbeknownst to him, Tinubu is only concerned about Tinubu. He will throw anyone and everyone under the bus just to safeguard his own re-election. The members of the National Assembly have already found out |
This is no way to govern a country. Nigeria does not begin and end in Lagos alone. |
mrvitalis: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. |
Kanwulia: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. |
Kemetian: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. |
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. |
