Yes! Tinubu fits the bill in Nigeria. He has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he is a visionary leader in Lagos. After 22 years that he first became the governor of Lagos, the state continue to make positive trajectory unequalled in other states of the federation.

As a matter of fact, Lagos now competes with sovereign nations of Africa in terms of GDP and economic progress. If he became Nigeria president, he would galvanize other African countries towards economic stability and progress. We really need visionary leaders in this our underachieving continent.

penceman:
I know that Tinubu house hold is Christian while he uses Islamic lane. But if he were using the Christian color and was at this same stage....he would have had an easy task becoming president. He will easily choose a Muslim and he north probably would have expected his quick demise .
But now he is a culdesac . And every cul de sac is abandoned

Baba, this has nothing to do with religion.
Millions of Christians in their quest for good governance voted Buhari against a Christian GEJ.
Tinubu is simply an abomination.
He is everything a Nigerian president mustn't be.

Delusion.

amnesty7:
The way he shocked them in 2015 and 2019?

Buhari rigged himself to a 2nd term in 2019.
He lost even in Aso Rock Polling Unit!

Tetehjewels:
Nna men the fear of Kano votes is the beginning of wisdom

PDP has been checkmated. Any party that wins in Kano has won the election

Ignorance at its peak.

Just like OBJ in 2003, GEJ won in 2011 despite losing in ALL core Muslim-dominated NE and NW states. Buhari cleared all the states therein but lost the elections on both occasions.

Any candidate with mass appeal who can amass bloc votes from the South will only need a few more states in the NC/Middlebelt to be home and dry for Aso Rock. One can be president without winning SINGLE one of those 12 core northern states...Kano inclusive.

High revenue, high subsidy.

Net profit== zero.

Solution: Local refineries need to be operational. Otherwise, Nigeria is just moving in a circle.

...but you took to the streets in an ill-informed politically-motivated "Occupy Nigeria" protest when GEJ wanted to end the fraud called subsidy.

blackpanda:
The problem is that subsidy will wipe it off. As price of oil increases so does the price of importation of fuel. So it's not really a gain. This is why govt wanted to end subsidy. But the immediate pain on Nigerians will be too much.

Oh! So rising price of oil is a curse yet you lot endlessly vilified GEJ while harping on big earnings during his time? Did GEJ not pay more subsidy? So how did he manage to keep our economy afloat, with a single-digit inflation and a USD exchanging for N187?

fyneguy:
Lol if you believe Buhari will just allow PDP to take over, then you can believe Antarctica is hot.

Who told you Buhari or any northerner has an issue with Atiku?
You guys obviously still live in 2015. It'll be Atiku on the PDP ticket in 2023, not Jonathan.


Tinubu isn't actually as smart as most of you try to portray him.
Hinging his entire 2023 dream on the hope of reciprocity from Buhari is the height of f00lishness.

Siwel25:
Don't mind those political ignoramus. APC cannot win the election without Tinubu's support; Even an idiot knows it. Buhari will have to choose between supporting a few clowns in the North and sacrificing his Party's success. Tinubu built bridges even in the North to get APC to this stage. Anyone who thinks APC would humiliate Tinubu and still remain the same must be a comedian and a deluded hater.

Well, you sound more to me like that "political ignoramus"
What exactly does Buhari or any northerner stand to gain from the APC's post-2023 survival, if I may ask?
Does the body language of the president even portray that of someone genuinely committed to seeing your beloved APC outlive 2023?

Stop treating a political party like a religion, buddy.
I have said it umpteen times that the APC was formed FUNDAMENTALLY to install a Buhari/northern presidency and that objective has since been achieved.
If you're honest with yourself, you'll easily see that the only one desperate to have the APC stay one is your principal, Tinubu.

Dapson73:
Buhari can't single handedly obstruct Asiwaju with his force.
One thing I like in politics is the more you look, the less you see.
2023 will be so interesting. Assuming Tinubu is unable to clinch his party ticket, the next president still need Jagaban badly to achieve his presidential aspiration regardless of political parties .

Take it or leave it, Asiwaju is a political institution in Africa Politics .

Who told you that?

Nonpartisan1:
Buhari will never go against the wish of the majority of APC Governors and delegates.

This is national politics not State level politics.

Jonathan tried it in 2014 and met his political Waterloo. This is simple political arithmetics and i expect Buhari to read the political barometer ahead of the convention.

How do you reconcile the two boldened statements?

If you indeed have the majority on your side, then victory should be assured with or without Buhari. Afterall he can't "un-vote" anyone who votes Tinubu.

You have made it so obvious that you are deceiving yourself.

Yes. Move to Cuckooland.

Caption this!

That security man at the back Tayo Ayinde who was the CSO to Tinubu when he was governor.

That same man is now the current Chief Of Staff to Sanwoolu.

[s]Give it Asiwaju, he keep turning men into leaders[/s]!

Did he sponsor Sanwoolu or the CSO in school?
Appointing cronies into positions and and using them to fleece hapless tax-payers of their hard-earned money is what all Godfathers do.
The Sarakis and Iboris of this world have also produced governors, ministers, senators, etc, all pandering to them as they loot public coffers.
There's nothing glorious about it, ogbeni. It's evil.

WibusJaga:


I don't really see any great advantage of a robot over a human referee in this case.

A human referee no matter how experienced and unbiased will always be susceptible to errors, which automating the job will address.

AshiwajuFoward:
Alaileko Omo. Must the Alaafin support your candidate? If e pain you, go ahead and tell your Oba of wherever to endorse whoever he likes, nobody gives a fvck. But you have no right to dictate to the Alaafin on who he should support. You people are so intolerant of other people's right to choose. Your bully tactics won't work.

Traditional rulers should be apolitical. They should be neutral in their dealings and act like fathers to everyone.
Anyone of them who allows the allure of lucre drag them into dirty politicking must brace up for the accompanying indignity.

Sadly Alaafin's or anyone else's endorsement is of no effect.
Tinubu is simply unelectable.

opalu:
Okay. When the Senate President has hundreds of PAs including Professors who are supposed to be in their Universities teaching undergraduates. You pay them millions in salaries and allowances. Not to mention the lootings. Such excesses are the reason why Nigeria keep servicing debts with trillions of dollars.
This Democracy is too Expensive. We need a lean Government that is not frivolous

God bless you.
Even Special Assistants have Personal Assistants too, all drawing salaries, allowances, etc from public coffers.

Peter Obi featured on the ticket that pummeled an incumbent Buhari in 2019, when the APC had to deploy the full complement of State machinery plus INEC's brazen rigging to get past them.

Just for the records, that Atiku/Obi combo defeated Buhari right in Aso Rock Polling Unit!

ButterBurger:
Barca had to be thought a good lesson of focusing on a teamwork than one man show.
Gradually they're rebuilding from scratch the hard way which is the only way now.
They will be back.

Would any other club have done otherwise with a Leo Messi in their team?

With all the success that Messi brought to that team I'm very sure that building Barca around him is a "mistake" they'd gladly make again.

DispatcherLagos:
Why do people still campaign for tinibu after all the atrocities he has committed and still committing in Lagos?

Your days SHALL be long!

NGpatriot:
This is about Nigerians and Nigeria, not about you ipobs.

None of them can be president without Igbo support.
You are creating problems for Tinubu and Osinbajo.

Aufbauh:
The South is always in the habit of complicating things for itself.
No party in the past have ever micro zoned their presidential ticket.

In fact the past two successive Presidents (Yar'Adua & Buhari) from the North do not only come from one zone the NW but from the same state Katsina. Northerners from the other two zones NE & NC are not crying of marginalization cus they understand the game of politics, but down south the case is different.

Aufbauh:
The South is always in the habit of complicating things for itself.

Not true.

The PDP micro-zoned in 1999 which largely influenced the decision of the AD to follow suit with Falae.
Ekwueme contesting the PDP primary was just a ploy to portray the process as being democratic.
Ceding the presidency to the SW was the very first arrangement put in place as part of the process leading to the return of democratic governance in 1999. It was designed to mollify them for the ill of 1993.

flokii:
This is why South West leaders be it traditional, religious and political need to act fast, think outside the box and put up a kind of periodic town hall meeting for our youths..

Stop giving out positions meant for Yorubas to outsiders.. Yoruba offsprings deserve to be gainfully employed in their own region, not to be engaged as thugs, agberos, internet fraudsters etc. Enough of the charity to outsiders while Yorubas are being neglected. Go to Abia state, they don't employ Imo indigenes or involve Enugu people in their state affairs. So why should people be travelling long distances to come and take up jobs from our youths?

Yoruba ronu!
We must wake up from this deep slumber we have fallen into.

Are you aware that there are more Yorubas at Shell, Total and NLNG than Niger-Deltans?
Rid your mind of this chronic tribalism.

Deadlytruth:
2003, 2007 elections remain the least credible elections in the history of Nigeria for anyone to base any political demographics theory on. Even The declared winner of 2007 election admitted that it was a sham. The international observers said same. 2003 election wasn't any different.
My reference therefore is 1999 in which Obasanjo swept a lot of Core North states in a free and fair atmosphere.

Show me where I mentioned 2007 anywhere in my previous posts.
It was one northerner (Yar'Adua) against another northerner (Buhari) that year...and 1999 featured OBJ vs Olu Falae, two Southerners. The core north had to pick one of them.

Apparently you just quoted me without getting a grasp of the crux of the whole discourse.
We were discussing the voting pattern of the core Muslim-dominated NE and NW states whenever a national election pits a Southerner against a Northerner.

Deadlytruth:
In an attempt to substantiate your claim that NW and NE never voted for Obasanjo or Jonathan, you started talking about how Buhari won in some of them in different elections. Aren't you supposed to just furnish your readers with the figures from those elections?
If you may know, Obasanjo won Adamawa, Taraba, Bauchi, Gombe, and many other NE and NW states which constitute the Core North. Only Jonathan could be said to have lost the Core North. But then the question becomes why Jonathan decided to dump the middle belt and SW where he got votes and rather decided to start trying to please the same Core-North which hated him?

Deadlytruth:
In an attempt to substantiate your claim that NW and NE never voted for Obasanjo or Jonathan

It's not a claim but an incontrovertible fact.
Refer to INEC's official results of 2003, 2011 and 2015.

Deadlytruth:

Why lie so brazenly, Mr., when the results are available online for everyone to see. I have attached the results in the NE and NW for 2003 to expose your lies. Please show us where OBJ won.

As I indicated earlier, neither OBJ nor GEJ won a single core Muslim state in the NE or NW against Buhari, and that is a fact. Taraba is a Christian state, and to some extent Adamawa which explains why they'd expectedly tilt away from Buhari and his ANPP/CPC that made religion the core of their campaign.

Deadlytruth:
Jonathan could be said to have lost the Core North

There's nothing like "could be said".
Every available fact (from INEC's official results of 2003, 2011 and 2015) shows that neither GEJ nor OBJ ever won a single core-Muslim state against Buhari...and that is my point.

The core north only votes religion.

Flets:
Both Atiku and Kwankwaso will flaw Tinubu any day. SW APC will do everything to ensure PDP zones it’s ticket to the south but the North is smarter than that.

NW, NE and NC goes to Atiku
SW goes to Tinubu
SE and SS goes to Atiku

Tinubu stands no chance against a northern PDP candidate. The North irrespective of party affiliation will quickly line up behind a northern candidate.

The division among the south will be exploited for a very long time.

That's the reality.

Wailers over to your jewish fathers from the interland of hellfire where you all come from.

Do you "non-wailers" buy cement at a lower price?
A bag of cement that now sells for over N4,000 cost less than N2,000 before this grossly-incompetent government came onboard.
So, demanding good governance from those entrusted with the management of our resources is now "wailing".

What a country!

OP:

Save yourself this trouble and Just swear with your life, while invoking Sango, Ayelala and the likes to strike you dead within 7 days if Tinubu isn't 69 as he claims.



...and that's a youth whose destiny Tinubu has looted vigorously defending his oppressor.

You're using the word "Integrity" in a Tinubu-related discourse?
