He may not have a particular candidate he wants to succeed him but he definitely knows those he doesn't want to succeed him and Tinubu takes the lead.

The reason why it has dragged this long is because of Tinubu's desperation and how he used Lagos funds to bribe a lot of people so Buhari wants to careful to avoid even a 1% likelihood of Tinubu emerging by hook or crook.

Also, Nigeria's current volatility must be worrying them and that is why they keep postponing the primaries while seeking a way out.

This is incisive!

Tinubu and his deluded media cretins can keep f00ling themselves.
Just look at how they have completely distorted a clear and explicit reportage from The Punch?

No amount of media spins and misinformation will ever make that ultra-desperate incontinence and parkinson disease-suffering octogenarian thief president...never!


He will be served a just dessert on 6th June.

Aderewah:
Someone said on this platform 3 years ago that Tinubu was going to deflect all negative attention to himself, allowing Osibanjo to contest cleanly as late as possible. If Tinubu was not contesting and had endorsed osinbajo, Sahara and other pdp media would be throwing mud at PYO daily. Tinubu won’t say what he said at Ogun if he wanted to truly contest. He’s playing the whole of Nigeria. Lol.

Cold comfort.
You can keep deceiving yourself.

Creamypie:
All the people he made were made to promote his selfish, personal ambitions, and not for me, or the masses. If u chop alone, die alone. U will remain a Regional lagos politician. G.e.j tasted the seat, same as Bubu, obj, yar Adua, but u? No way. U can't be in their league.(GCFR)

Incisive!
That is is.

excel101:
Yes sir, to the senior brother himself. You come South South dey claim senior brother, but forget say you support Buhari against their brother in 2015. Mr senior brother, no road here o, but I would advice your to carry Commissioner of gutter resources for Lagos State go East(Igboland) go campaign, maybe dem fit support you there...IPOB dem dey expect you.

That's the problem with Tinubu.
Too many lackeys whose destinies he has looted in Lagos and who worship and pay him obeisance make him think other Nigerians are f00ls.

Imagine the toad-eyed traitor even calling a South Southerner his brother and begging for support?
Is 2015 too far behind that he feels people would've forgotten?

Iamzik:
I don't pity Tinubu at all

Southerners should be wise. Tinubu joined north to fight GEJ a fellow southerner in 2015 thinking that the north will hand him aso rock after 8 years.

2 years into Buhari presidency he and his loyalists were completely sidelined until Buhari needed him for second term.

Yourubas were being killed in their land by herdsmen but Tinubu kept defending the government. Endsars happened and both Lai Mohd and Tinubu defended the government. A northerner will never defend the killing of their people....never!
The economy went south, inflations, high cost of food, western border was shut, universities on strike, insecurity everywhere yet Tinubu kept mute

A man that can sacrifice and betray his people because of power is not worthy of that power!

Lagos state is a sad tale. The money Lagos state makes in IGR is enough to build a Dubai but what do we have today all because of one man and his insatiable quest for power.

This is the point where the self acclaimed political game master will be dymystified. I hope Lagos will be free from this shackles after 2023

Incisive!

seunmsg:
Tinubu was in Oyo and Ogun state today to meet party delegates and three incumbent governors (Lagos, Kano and Osun) and the candidate of APC in Katsina were with him. The former governors of Bornu and Nasarawa states have also been following him around. I may be wrong but I think Tinubu is the only aspirant in APC with incumbent governors and former governors on his campaign train. [b]Says a lot about his popularity and acceptabilit[/b]y.

How about taking his bullion-van-powered "popularity and acceptability" to the NNPP, his plan "B" or better still the SDP.
By the way, why aren't you rooting for Osinbajo you claimed was your first choice?

...employing every crude tactic to curry support for a frail and demented octogenarian looter. Nigerians aren't fools.

NNPP is Tinubu's plan "B".
Save this.

mighty2:
Come june 6, Tinubu will not step down for any fvcking person, if Buhari tries any fvcking shit, that will lead to the death of apc.... I still stand on Tinubu's mandate

...and how will the boldened part potentially affect Buhari?

Why is it so difficult for you lot to see that Buhari and the northern power brokers don't give a hoot about the APC's post-2023 survival?
The only person desperate to have the party intact (for his own greed-driven ambition) is Tinubu.
Your beloved party was purpose-built to grab power and install a northern Muslim as president in 2015 and that has since been accomplished.

You had better embraced the hurting reality, ogbeni.

Prof. Wole Soyinka:

IF APC is not the answer to our Problems, there is no reason going back to the instigators of the problem.
I'm not a politician but I would do everything not to have PDP in Government in Nigeria.

The greatest tragedy that can befall a nation is for her citizens to suffer collective amnesia. I believe PDP believes Nigerians have short memories, if not, Ibori would not have been included in their convention committee and Jonathan would not have been allowed to talk (He ended up indicting himself as usual anyway).

For those who may have forgotten, kindly joggle your memories with the following words on marble and you will agree with me that what happened in Eagle square on saturday was nothing but gathering of rogues.

Happy reading:

1. I acted based on Jonathan's instruction - Dasuki

2. I didn't give order - Jonathan

3. I collected 350M from Dasuki for consultation - Iyorchia Ayu

4. I only collected $30,000 from Dasuki not N100m - Bode George

5. I got N4.6b from Dasuki for spiritual purposes - Bafarawa

6. I got N650M from Dasuki for my Abuja burnt office - Thisday Obaigbena.

7. I got N2.1b from Dasuki for publicity - Dokpesi

8. I got another N100m from Yuguda he didn't tell me from where - Bafarawa.

9. I gave N100m each to Odili, Jim Nwobodo Bode George and others - Yuguda

10. The president asked me to change N10B to foreign currency for PDP delegates - Dasuki

11. My boss asked me to get $11M from the CBN - Dasuki's account officer.

12. I got order from above to pay Tompolo N13B for Maritime university land. - Nimasa DG.

13. 950m was shared in my house -- Shekarau

With all this looting and many more revealed, some people are still shouting no sign of change yet, they even say it's political persecution.

But I believe, it is the right thing to do.
If you believe too, send this to other people to garner more support for the fight against corruption and looting in our nation. There must be consequences for such crimes otherwise Nigeria will not develop.

The list is endless. They only left what they can't carry or unable to lay their hands on. The list continues.....

Recession didn't just happen, people looted Nigeria into RECESSION happening

[/s]

Hasn't the APC out-looted the PDP in a million folds already, in addition to completely grounding our economy through sheer ineptitude?
Wouldn't Nigerians take to the street in jubilation if it were possible for this satanic APC government to revert things to the way they were under the PDP?

bizgenera:
This game would be won along Religious and Regional lines.

Religious wise, Yemi Osinbajo has a bigger political capital compared to Bola Tinubu.

Majority of the Christians would vote for him across all regions.

And as for Regional votes, Buhari's support would deliver the North to Osinbajo as Atiku and Kwankwaso have already fragmented the North.

Coming to the South, Osinbajo would enjoy the support of his people in the South West and also enjoy the support of the Christians in South East and South South.

Some Easterners won't even vote for Obi because he is seen as a stingy man.

Osibanjo being a weaker personality compared to Tinubu would be appealing to the oligarchies in Nigeria as he would allow status quo to continue. They can cage him with god or Adeboye with Hell Rufai closely watching him as the Vice President.

Muslim - Muslim ticket of Tinubu won't sell for now. They can promise him second term while Osinbajo steps down for him or they expose his corrupt deeds to bring him down. Which would be a lie anyway. They would never hand over to a strong man.


In any case, Osinbajo/El Rufai or Zulum ticket mathematically speaking is APC's best bet for them to win the next election.

But that is if the Judgment does not start before then.

The boldened part is not true.

suffering:
This is the funniest thing to ever come out of this forum. I never fail to laugh every time I see it.

Stumbled upon this yesterday and had to save a copy.
I still can't stop laughing.

The "...Pure and Applied Vawulence" part has almost broken my ribs with laughter.



There is simply no dull moment on this forum.

Sometimes I just log in to read comments, view memes and laugh.

FieldMarshall06:
These two SS govs are being touted as possible Vice Presidential candidate to Atiku. I advise them not to accept that offer.
Atiku and the North have stolen the South's turn and Southern Politicians must not validate it, ... else it would be the starting point for southern slavery in Nigeria's political space.

These two govs must not get their good names in dirty mud. The South says Presidency or Nothing. It's our turn. Pls don't betray the South. As for Wike, his stupidity would be dealt with by karma. But pls Udom and Okowa, don't join Atiku. Don't validate northern theft of southern presidency. Don't condemn your generations to political slavery. Take this advise very seriously.

...and what becomes of those who betrayed the South in 2015?

FieldMarshall06:
Southern presidency or Nothing.

Politically, there's no "South" anymore.
Whatever was left of it was buried in 2015.

That is the sad reality.

That's one thing you can't take away from Turaki.
He's urbane and liberal.

Abujaexpress:
In Nigerian political sphere, North is one, whether core or non-core The final results garnered is what matters. By the cumulative percentage scores, OBJ won Buhari in the North, don't get it twisted, pls

Again, this is very very wrong.
Buhari won the north whether cumulatively or state-by-state.
https://www.electoralgeography.com/new/en/countries/n/nigeria/nigeria-presidential-election-2003.html

Abujaexpress:
OBJ defeated even the then almighty Buhari in 2003

Buhari defeated OBJ in ALL the core NE and NW states except Adamawa and Kaduna...ditto Jonathan.
We're talking about results in the core north.

Abujaexpress:
And Tinubu cannot win in the North, because he is from South, why did Obasanjo won twice in the North, MKO had earlier won in the North and Goodluck Jonathan as a Christian from the South also won in the North in 2011?

Go and cure your ignorance, Ogbeni.
OBJ never defeated any northerner in the north.

These are the sort of people giving Tinubu false hope.

Sheuns:
No one needs to win in the core north, but trust south east wont vote in mass for APC as they did for GEJ in 2011

It all depends on the candidate in my opinion.
2023 will depend more largely on the candidate than the party.

Reality3080:
u are d political novice here

Let me break down d article for u in clear terms

Atiku is now pdp presidential candidate,who among apc aspirants can defeat atiku?


Lets weigh them

Religion - Everyone knows d north is where d major chunk of d electorates are n they are majorly Muslims,I tell u for sure that majority of northerners will think twice before voting a pastor.
That already reduces Christian aspirants votes in apc n it give tinubu an edge cos he’s also a muslim

...and who told you anyone needs to win the core north to be president?
Has any Christian ever defeated a Muslim candidate therein?
Go and study the 2003 and 2011 election results state-by-state to address your ignorance.

MODIFIED:
Use the below links:

Whoever wrote this is a complete neophyte.
He should do well to list the states he feels Tinubu can win outside the South West.
How can you be dreaming of defeating Atiku in the north when you don't even have the mass appeal to win the South?

...and he even put the word "credible" and Tinubu in the same sentence.
Clowns everywhere.

This man has been under the radar for some time now.

Biodun556:
I believe Tinubu can win the south and North Central

Which states outside the South West do you think Tinubu can win to get the majority votes in the South?

Biodun556:
The idea that you need core north to win presidential election is a fluke, take 2011 as a case study. Jonathan didn't have majority vote in North West and North East

That's very correct.

Not only Jonathan in 2011, even an incumbent OBJ with his almighty PDP that had little or no opposition at all lost virtually all the core North East and North West states, bar Kaduna and Adamawa yet he won the 2003 election.
2003 and 2011 results have proven that while a Southern candidate DOES NOT need to win the core north to be president, they MUST WIN the South convincingly to achieve such a feat.

The question is can Tinubu win the South?

omowolewa:
INEC goofed by extending the Primary deadline as Atiku has a good interest in what happens in APC.

PDP dollars would surely be extended to APC to ensure they vote wrongly.

Anything other than Tinubu will stress APC than normal




Dollar for Dollar
Man for Man
Influence for influence
Popularity for Popularity
Energy for energy
Infact, corruption allegations for Corruption allegations

Shikeina

You're deceiving yourself.
Can Tinubu even win the South, before dreaming of beating Atiku in the north?

HomoSapiien:
Atiku that almost beat Buhari in 2019 is what these people are comparing to Osinbajo that has never been on the ballot paper for a position as low as Local Government chairman?

Same Osinbajo that lost his polling unit to Atiku in 2019?

This so called APC chieftains are the biggest joker of the century. They should join Sabinus in making comedy .

The dynamics have changed brother. This isn't 2019 when we had two northerners on the ballot.
2023 will be more about the candidate than the party.
With the strong agitation for return of the presidency to the South, I assure you that a very large chunk of PDP supporters will rather vote the APC because of Osinbajo than have another northerner at the helm via the PDP.

That should be a no-brainer for any politically-savvy analyst.

Some of us have said it umpteen times here that the South will be the joker and the battle-ground in 2023 which anyone desirous of clinching the presidency must win.
At the moment, Osinbajo is the only southerner in the race with a pan-Nigerian appeal and thus the only one capable of not only winning the South but also putting up a decent showing up north.
He doesn't need to win the north to be president...just a few states in the Middle-Belt and 25% of total votes cast in at least 6 of the North East and North West states combined will be more than enough, akin to what we had in 2011.

H2ho:

Ogbeni, this is 2022 and not 2015. No one is buying all these n0nsense.
Better advise your party to field an acceptable Southerner with a pan-Nigerian appeal of watch Atiku stroll to Aso Rock.

Tinubu is a no-no.

Backpedal:
You really think Tinubu will defeat Atiku?

Tambuwal is a sitting governor of Sokoto State
Tambuwal stepped down for Atiku

Without Buhari on the ballot
Tinubu has already lost Sokoto State

You lots are yet to understand these dirtyy games

They don't.
