The mentality that it must be Hausa or Fulani Muslim is why some people advocate that Nigeria must divide. Let the Hausa and Fulani be on their own and rule over themselves since they're 'born to rule.' They can't continue to Lord over others as if others are slaves. I advise Tinubu to choose a northern Christian governor in his second term as running mate.

Terrible people. When it is the turn of the north to produce the president, it must be Hausa or Fulani Muslim, and when also it is their turn to produce the vice president, it must be Hausa or Fulani Muslim. So, a Northern Christian can never be president or vice president.

Did anybody put a gun to his head and insist that he must choose an Hausa/Fulani muslim? Did anybody force him when he was chasing after Kwankwaso like a jilted lover and courting him to become his Vice (before Trump)? Didn't he do so because he needed to secure his 5.6m votes from the North? No one is forcing him to choose a hausa/fulani muslim as Vice. Just as no one can force anyone to vote how they please. We are in a democracy and Tinubu is not a victim. He's an accomplice.

Seeplusplus:
This is just strategy on the part of Tinubu to garner sympathy from the Muslim North. Nobody wants to replace any Vice Presidential candidate.

Even if that's the case, Hannatu Musawa is inconsequential in the scheme of things, so she can't be commenting on such sensitive issues without the backing of the presidency.

It's all a game

Talking about this Muslim Muslim ticket thing is the exact reason why those illiterates will go out to vote Tinubu en mass. Tinubu knows and that's why he has started the narrative early

Only dumb Obi and Atiku's supporters will rejoice over this because like their masters, they lack foresight

No be una again? When Tinubu eventually replaces Shettima, you will be here again with another justification from the WhatsApp group on why that's a master strategy.

RichBoy247:
If Tinubu refuses to remove Shettima for Kwankwaso, I doubt if he will remove him for anyone else.

Meanwhile, Tinubu will do whatever he thinks is best. He could remove Shettima for a Northern Christian since Shettima had not been able to talk to his boys to lay down their arms like Goodluck Jonathan did with Niger Delta creek boys during Yar’Adua’s regime.

Is that how you're going to spin obvious pressure from America on Tinubu for him to balance his ticket? Do you think anyone will buy the narrative that Tinubu changing his deputy to a christian is suddenly because he cares about Christians. Why was he chasing after Kwankwaso until Trump happened?

So it's now Shettima's boys that are behind insecurity? Was Tinubu aware of this before choosing him as Vice or did he do so because he wanted Shettima to negotiate with the bandits? Is the APC government not already negotiating with the bandits? What more do you want Shettima to do in terms of negotiations?

Legacy is achieved, not claimed. Umahi who was Buhari’s sycophant until the end of his tenure publicly declared that Buhari never did anything for the Southeast. Today, all the projects he claims as Tinubu's handwork are infact, Buhari’s projects.

fergie001:
His fear I understand is that the house may be bugged so he hasn't slept there a night.

You are correct. He fears his moves are being monitored. The trust deficit between the president and V.P is too wide for Tinubu to continue with him in 2027. Tinubu never trusts his Vice. He changed deputies twice as governor of Lagos.

Where is Fayose who told us Makinde went to beg Tinubu in Aso Rock? It appears to be Vice versa, seeing that Tinubu also met Olubadan the next day. Makinde continues to swing at Tinubu and appears he won't be taking any prisoners. In Osun, Tinubu is withholding local government allocations to strangle Adeleke while Lagos state remains a swing state. Tinubu cannot win the Southwest in a landslide come 2027.

The circular was prematurely leaked. Wait until after the elections.

"Miracle centres" will be the end of us all.

Moroccoguy:
mention were Tinubu called those u mentioned a betrayal. Post the evidence.

We know he always goes through corners and uses his well oiled lackeys and media machineries. Didn't he go to Abeokuta and call the Ogun state governor "Eleyi" for wanting to betray him?

Keep chasing shadows. Obi is in the ADC.

Contrary to what his Nairaland lackeys say, Tinubu will face very stiff opposition in 2027, even from the Southwest. The coast is still not clear yet in Lagos, Osun and now Oyo in 2027. He cannot win the Southwest in a landslide.

OLABAMIJI99:
Same thing I have been hammering on


https://www.nairaland.com/8564653/2027-tinubu-must-drop-shetimma

Tinubu can try it but he will lose Northern Muslim votes without necessarily gaining christian votes. Tinubu and Shettima have long fallen out with each other. They are just going through with the motions and putting up a farce. Tinubu attempted to rid himself from Shettima and potentially set him up against the masses by banishing him away to the 25 billion naira V.P residence built by Wike but Shettima stubbornly refused to relocate. All the additional drama of tax bill, comments on Rivers state of emergency, etc are all pointers to the nature of their strained relationship.

Tinubu is stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea as far as Shettima and the muslim-muslim ticket is concerned. America is reportedly breathing heavily down his neck to balance his ticket. But even his ministers are beginning to sound the alarm bells if he dares drop Shettima. APC is in disarray!

alfajohn:
What was the result of the 2023 election in Kano? Yes Kwankwaso won but Tinubu got well over one million votes. Now that nearly all the political actors are in APC will he fare better or not. Not saying that if Kwankwaso is on the presidential ballot Tinubu will defeat him in Kano but it won’t be a walk over. This is not a show of support to anyone but stating the obvious.

Lol. Tinubu got well over one million votes in Kano in 2023? Kindly check again. Northerners voted Tinubu in 2023, even though Agbadorians later turned around to ethnicise his presidency and claimed the North didn't vote for him while betraying many who made that possible. It remains to be seen whether he can replicate his 2023 numbers.

Daguccizgreat:
They are rattled because they aware that if Obi gets the ADC ticket it's game over for the mandate thief in Aso rock

Tinubu has no pathway to re-election.

NgeneUkwenu:
You always play a scenerio in your head, and start celebrating it openly on Nairaland. How more delusional can you be AMINDA?? ...

NgeneUkwenu, my sister. You are doing a poor job hiding your panic. ADC is here to stay and the party's momentum will be too unprecedented for rigging to succeed in 2027.

Daguccizgreat:
Fear has gripped them since Obi joined ADC. I

You know this. Obi's move is a checkmate, ain't gonna lie!

The panic is becoming palpable. Tinubu has begun to push his non-performing ministers and other appointees to get to work. They can see that APC is fast losing momentum and nationwide appeal among the voting electorates.

ratcock:
The man is not all he’s portrayed on social media.
The only project of value he embarked upon is the ICC hotel. The few roads he built in Enugu are substandard not likely to last for a year.
Till date the only governor that gave that state a facelift is former governor Sullivan Chime. The rest are the more you look the less you see.

Really? I remember Sullivan Chime. Another silent achiever. The East has had its fair share of very intelligent, astute administrators, especially Enugu state. Ugwanyi set the state backwards. If only someone had consolidated on Sullivan's strides in governance.

Same people who support fubura to go against his Godfather are not happy another person left his Godfather
Craze country you all support the evil you like as far it’s your favorite and evil is welcome and you all want a better nation jokers

There is only one constant here. All of them (including Uba Sani) were encouraged and induced by Tinubu to betray their benefactors so he can cut them to size. Master strategist or master of betrayals?

What are the state of all the concrete roads Umahi constructed in Ebonyi state? Virtually all of them have failed. Man is just obsessed with concrete roads like a bad workman with only a hammer in his toolkit.

Emb33:
Since I moved to the north, I can categorically claim that what most of the media is saying about the north is false!! I still never see the level of begging I am used to seeing in Lagos and not even close!!! Yes kano has to adjust in a lot of things, but the media should keep away from being stereotypical cus this is 2026

Say no more. All Southerners who eventually move to the North barely want to leave afterwards. Life is better in the North, forget all the stereotypes. It takes one who has lived in both regions to arrive at this conclusion. Who no go, no go know.

@topic, it's very suspicious that a documentary on begging in Kano has quickly been put together shortly after international livestreamer, ishowspeed, exposed Lagos for being the begging capital of the world. Smells like APC handiwork to me.

I must confess, Governor Mbah is getting it right. I like forward thinking intelligent administrators. Kudos!

SadiqBabaSani:
This Elrufai man, I think you should concentrate on Kaduna and leave Kano alone.

Kano people will decide their fate, whoever emerges governor is of no significance to me.

Anybody should be Governor of Kano as the people decides, but Atiku, Elrufai and Kwankwaso should stare off the Presidential ticket in 2027. If they want they should try in 2031

But Tinubu is not stopping at that. He also wants Obi, Jonathan, Seyi Makinde and other Southerners to stay off the presidential ticket and have even gone further to destroy their political parties. Does he want to be the only candidate on the ballot in 2027? Well, he will not succeed.

SadiqBabaSani:
Politics is what it is, Kwankwaso didn't make himself. He overestimated himself and now he has to realise that the state is bigger than him

Okay, fair enough. Abba Kabir will deliver Kano to Tinubu in 2027. Na here we gather dey.

SpaceX:
godfatherism in Nigerian politics have never worked, Kwankwaso want to selfishly keep his claws of Kano state funds to enable him work his way to the presidency, he is delusional. Abba gave him the don't disturb treatment.

Are you sure you are not talking about Lagos?

collins2good:
Oya rest, kwankwaso this , kwankwaso that, so he mission is to campaign for Tinubu to loose kano, make he contest and campaign to win the presidential election for himself, Una go just dey hype them online

So why was Tinubu chasing him all over the place for months and even sacked Ganduje as chairman of APC to pave way for his defection? Kwankwaso turned his back on the deal because America has allegedly instructed Tinubu to balance his ticket with a christian. Otherwise, Tinubu was willing to drop Shettima for Kwankwaso.

givedemwotowoto:
You knew it was Obi or nothing for Obidients before inviting Peter Obi to the coalition.

Opposition needs to come together now, time is being wasted. It takes time to organize, mobilize, strategize, and take action.

Obi is a founding member of the coalition. The idea for all opposition figures to unite was his idea and he has maintained that he's not desperate to be president even though he's overly qualified. Obi will play the politics and all aspirants will queue behind the eventual winner of the primaries. Obidients (not Agbadorians pretending to be one) need to manage their expectations and trust their principal. The stakes in 2027 is too monumental to be fumbled with.

kettykin:
If you rely on Allah for re election then why did you change party

Don't mind the snake oil salesman. He ran on Kwankwaso's political machinery in 2019 and 2023 but now claims no one but God, made him governor. Meanwhile, this was Kwankwaso with the governor outside the INEC collation center on the night of the election, protecting their votes. So dark the con of man!

This is from the INEC headquarters at 5:00 a.m. during the elections, when RMK and millions of Kano residents protected their votes from the APC.

The people of Kano have been truly betrayed. pic.twitter.com/ylejLK2skg

Are you sure? Why then have you started empowering data boys and social media influencers with motorcycles for propaganda?

Seunmsg, if you are in Kano, come and collect your own o. Mobilisation has come!

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has distributed 600 motorcycles to social media influencers and digital content creators throughout the state. pic.twitter.com/hawBtzcBNt
