RT. Hon. Yakubu Dogara and some APC Northern Christian caucus have been throwing aspersions, conspiracies and huge allegations on Tinubu's Muslim-Muslim Ticket after losing on being his running mate of the ruling party.

It is obvious that Tinubu who is married to a Christian with almost all his children going to church has never been accused of religious bigotry or sentiment and to some extent Christians are major beneficiaries of his business and political career. His choice of Muslim as his running mate isn't based on religion but popularity and the running mate's ability to attract votes which in Kashim Shettima more votes are bound to be gotten than the candidature of all those aspersing religious bigotry on him.
Here are some piece of insight of Yakubu Dogara's journey to his current political status:

1. A Muslim Minister Habibu Ningi made him a Special Assistant in 2003 when he was a classroom teacher

2. A Muslim Governor Ahmadu Muazu nominated him a House of Representatives ticket in a Muslim dominated Constituency in 2007.

3. A Muslim Speaker Tambuwal and other lieutenants like Abdulmumini Jibrin, Suleiman Lasun, Alhassan Doguwa made sure he became the Speaker of the National Assembly in 2015.

4. In 2019 when he was rejected by the APC and its Governor in Bauchi, a Muslim PDP flagbearer Atiku and Kauran Bauchi gave him a platform to remain relevant.

All through his political sojourn Muslims were those that rose him to prominence, no single Christian does that not even CAN.

But here he is today running left, right and center all in the name of resisting a Muslim-Muslim ticket. This is so mean of Yakubu Dogara.

Dogara is on a journey to dead end and he will live to see Asiwaju/Shettima win in 2023. A Muslim/Muslim ticket will conquer right before his eyes.

IPOB killed my relative supplying cows to PHC on his way through East last week Saturday. Very generous guy

OVB123:
A house that is divided against itself can not stand. A minister fighting against the policy of his Boss. Buhari government no be government at all.

This is neither disorganisation nor disunity, it tells you how democratic the administration is not like how dogmatic past administration's cabinets have been which you could never even hear of their policies in public domain!

Penguin2:
Osinbajo is a shameless idiot; a man without honour.

Don’t be like Osinbajo.

Salewa97:
India Police self don tire. Imagine how much of these guys they’ve arrested within just few days apart.



Another from the same city within just few days. When India stop granting Nigerians visa now they will start blaming Buhari.

satanically666 can you see all these things? Peter Obituary need to call his men to order because most of these guys are Obituary supporters which explain why they always behave like terrorists on the media space.

I talked to one Indian at Mumbai sometimes ago and he told me that he has been dealing with Nigerians for more than 29yrs and surprisingly he said my tribe isn't among the Nigerians duping others in India. Some Indians and their authorities now have a clear and known easy target among Nigerians committing crime in their land, very pathetic people ruining our image!

With this statement he made;
“Because if it has been left to northerners, it is doubtful if they will take a Christian man to make Secretary to the Government of the Federation”
it is obvious he has always had a bad perception about Northern Muslims. He couldn't see how Dogara was also made Speaker, Lalong made Chairman NGF, Ilyas Bagoro made TETFUND Boss, the current TETFUND Boss among many others all by clear effort of the Northern Muslims. Babachir should have used better words in explaining his anger for the so much deceptive expectation of VP position he had.

derecho:
The guy obviously forgot that Kano has plenty Igbos like Lagos.
Katsina get Christians and non indigenes too.
E go shock una

The fanaticism in you is out of this world and just like how you kept making noise abt the PVC registration you will also be shocked after Election. Making the Election and campaign religious is nonsensical to the highest order.

Finally the deal has been struck and Wike will be fully Atikulated in his next address. This meeting has a huge set back to LP and a big boost to APC

[quote author=Omicron007 post=115258506][/quote]You must be living in Congo to have written this delusion!
North has 19 states and the requisite to win Presidential election is to win atleast 24 states across the 6 geopolitical zones with minimum of 25% of the casted votes.
Dwelling in the result analysis of elections conducted between 2003-2011 is nonsensical to the highest order, those were years when elections used to be pronounced when voters were on queue voting.
It is clear to everyone who are fanatics in the polity of Nigeria. Recent outrage and open campaign in religious centres has shown the fanaticism in most Nigerian Christians. In the so called middlebelt, Nasarawa, Niger, kwara and Kogi out of the six states in the zone are Muslims majority but one stupid person living in delusion is trying to use religion in the polity just for his hatred for Muslims.
How will you react of JNI asked all Muslims to do the barbaric campaign Obi supporters are doing?
Many of those Christians dominated states will deeply disappoint you because they'll surely vote for PDP especially those in SS and NC.
This fanaticism is too much and will come with serious consequences because Atiku or Tinubu will win this election!

Only fool will take these defections serious. Masses are just cashing out and nothing more.

Indefinite strike loading......

SU50:
I sincerely want this to change!!!

They're totally enslaved in unfortunate circumstances of political exploitation....

Things are changing o, yanzu guguwar atiku ake. NE banda borno da yobe ban ganin APC zasu kai labari.

Many factors will influence the outcome of the Election. Margin din kawai zasu bashi yafi yawa ba sai sunfi dayawa ba. Kudi zaiyi tasiri a zaɓen gaba fiye da komai saboda babu wasu yan takara nagartattu....

Bomboiy:
Brooooo, sometimes I think these Tinubu urchins are living in a cave.

A trip to BBC hausa and Rariya Hausa on Facebook should be an eye opener but they are too blinded by party structure.

You need to read all news concerning Presidential candidates on Hausa platforms. Northerners Are very angry at every candidate as if they won't vote at all. The voting pattern of the North isn't at all on FB, majority of Northern population is rural population who aren't on FB and surely they are instrumental to bloc votes irrespective of the reason surrounding the circumstances. In the North PDP isn't a choice even with a fellow Northerner.

Viscuz:
No need to beat around the bush .

Hold one first.

How will Tinubu campaign under ApC in Zamfara ne?

Zamfara only knows one party even if you are killing them!

jumper524:
15 states are certain while the rest 5 is still skeptical for now.

All Northwestern states.
All southwest states.
4 northeast states.
3 Northcentral states.

Northwestern states. [/b]I was skeptical about this but the reality is that the Buhari support base are all clamouring for Tinubu. The Northwestern governors coupled with Buhari are all rooting for Tinubu. With elrufai as campaign DG, there's absolutely nothing the 419 tambuwal can do for Tinubu in this region.

[b]Verdict.
Tinubu is expected to win all northwest state and also getting block votes from kano and Katsina. He might likely struggle with Atiku in sokoto but is expected to still win.

South-West: don't even go there. There's nothing any political opposition can do about this region. They should count it out of there equation.
Verdict: Tinubu to monopolize this region.

Northcentral: Tinubu is expected to win 3 states from this region, however only 1 state is certain which is kwara state. But he's most likely to win kogi and Niger.

Verdict: Tinubu to win kwara and kogi while also dragging Niger with Atiku.

Northeast: Bauchi, Borno, Gombe and Yobe should go to tinubu no doubt about it. However Atiku would likely pull an upset in 2 of the four states. Bauchi and gombe most likely.

Verdict: Tinubu to clinch at least 3 states from this region.

Many people online who are less informed about grassroot politics would ask how I expect Tinubu to dominate Northern regions when the likes of Kwankwaso and Atiku who are from there and are contesting the ballots.
Well like I said, they are less informed about grassroot politics until they do research themselves and see kwankwasiya cult followers all praising the jagaban or go to zaria to see northerners all praising the jagaban.
Majority of northerners calls tinubu jagaban for reason best known to them but the fact remains that the love is massive for the jagaban.

Anticipate the 2 million match for jagaban in Kano state. Then una go believe the weight.

I'm ardent fan of Jagaban but to be realistic you really understand how the game will be played. The data is right in NW but Kwankwaso will win Kano, however beside Kano only Sokoto will be dragged with Atiku. For NE, surely all the states you mentioned Jagaban has high potential of winning but will get hot contest in Bauchi and lose Adamawa and Taraba. As far as NC is concerned, Jagaban will win Niger, Kogi, Kwara and Nasarawa irrespective of the margin. This is my take as a Northerner!

The renowned bigotry of some Northern Christian is coming out in full scale. I have never seen anybody from North or Muslims attacking CAN or talked about this ticket in the North except some APC bigwigs trying to make some clarification about the ticket but Babachir is trying to draw line by alleging all sort of sinister against Muslims. It is nonsense giving too much attention to a political party's decision in a multiparty democracy. The Christians in APC might have been marginalised but with the given statement they have rescinded their party membership and have no business accusing APC of anything henceforth.
The words used, the statements released and the unprintable names some people deliberately call Islam, North, APC in their surreptitious effort to insult Islam and Muslims is only heating the polity instead of concentrating on their religious campaign.
After all their ranting prior to campaign others will sooner or later start strategy in response to these madness not by just talking but action.
Babachir is so fanatical to have taken this issue in religious perspective by stereotyping the political party's action taken by APC as religious. If truly Muslims have agenda as he alleged, the whole Nigerian Muslims would've started supporting Tinubu so that Muslims can have the potential of ruling Nigeria for 24 straight years but many Muslims rejected it and there is no aorta of sign that Muslims are planning to overwhelmingly support th ticket for religious reasons. The amplification of this issue and aspersing conspiracies on Islam may do lots of harm to these people and they will regret their actions.

Coolsperm:
When northern Muslims do not trust Tinubu a local Muslim from the south, then how can Nigerian Christian's trust the same Tinubu a Muslim and Shetima a terorist minded vice from the north, We Yoruba Christian's will never vote for this ticket, it is evil , we won't!, We can even do worst than rejecting him, we can take him down

If you won't vote for your son pls help us install our Fulani son because you are in difficult situation. Wether you like it or not Tinubu or Atiku must be our next President, all other aspirants are out to diminish the vote of the 2 potential winners

cheruv:
Keep hailing your rigging apparatus...
Thank God it'd not work next year

Since the incorporation of card reader into our Election system in 2015 rigging was never a tool used by politicians. I can agree of you say vote buying but not rigging. Your statement showed that U never voted in recent past...

cheruv:
Obi doesn't need the whole North to succeed... He already has the whole South in his pocket, so all he needs is to target the Christian areas of the West and North, then the few votes that liberal Muslims are willing to spare him... He's good to go
Atiku, Tinibu and Kwọnkwọsọ can share the rest of the Muslim votes

What Northern Christians and SS-SE couldn't do in 2015 and 2019 can't be done in 2023.
Remember, Atiku, Kwankwaso, Obi and CAN were in PDP in 2019 and got defeated!

Viscuz:
A suicide bomber cannot be Vice President

You said the same thing about PMB and nothing stopped him from becoming President and so your propaganda can't stop Tinubu!

Smoke55:
not getting northern Muslims votes doesn't mean he will fail..

If you think APC can win with Muslim Muslim ticket then why do you think obi will fail because he visited church..

You guys should stop these blackmailing mbok,stop making north think they too important than others..

We need a competent leader not tribal leader..

Have you seen a glimpse of blackmail from my comment or any Muslim group talking abt it?

Go and learn the permutation of winning election in Nigeria. One should win atleast 24 states with minimum of 25% of the casted votes across the six geopolitical zones.

Mossadd:
nonsense!

May you live long to bear witness of the nonsense!

SadiqBabaSani:
Before ObiDatti people Attack me, let them check my antecedents on Nairaland.

Peter Obi and Datti especially Obi need to identify a bit more with the North/Muslims.

His Campaign and his beliefs need to be a bit more Pro northern Masses.

Seen him in Churches not bad,I want to see him in Mosques and with more Northerner too.

His tactics, his background and his poor advisers set him for an illusionary failure.
The results Buhari used to get in the South prior to 2015 Election will be reflection of what Obi will get in the North come 2023!

Oluwabash:
It is now crystal clear that Hon. Yakubu Dogara, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, now sees himself as a national political figure, who deserves to become the next Vice President of Nigeria, having become a bench warmer and a sitting duck idling away at the green chamber.

As Speaker, the self-absorbed Dogara worked hand-in-gloves with Senator Bukola Saraki, the then Senate President to derail the government of their party, no thanks to their vaulting and ill-motivated ambition.

It smacks of odious hypocrisy for Dogara, a beneficiary of political magnanimity and generosity of Northern Muslim leaders, now turning full circle to lead the campaign against his party's presidential ticket.

For the records, Dogara sabotaged the APC in the months leading to the 2019 general elections and it comes as little surprise that he is now embarking on another journey of self-destruct ahead the 2023 elections.

Put succinctly, Dogara failed in 2019. He and his co-travelers will fail again because Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima, working with other well-meaning Nigerians, who desire the greatness of this blessed country will prevail.

In case Dogara suffers from short memory, he should be reminded that he has always been a beneficiary of the goodness and large-heartedness of Muslims in his political trajectory.

In 2003, Muhammad Habib Aliyu (Tafidan Ningi) a Muslim and then a Minister of State gave Dogara his first political appointment as Special Assistant from being a classroom teacher.

Dogara also need to be reminded that another Muslim, Adamu Muazu, then the sitting Governor of Bauchi State, made it possible for him to be elected into the House of Representatives in 2007.

It is also on record that in 2015, Aminu Tambuwal, the incumbent governor of Sokoto State, also a Muslim, orchestrated how Dogara became the Speaker of the House of Representatives, much against the stance of the ruling party.

Dogara owes his political relevance and ascendancy to the benevolence of Nigerians from the North, who are Muslims. Isn't it bewildering that same man is now railing against the APC Muslim-Muslim ticket.

If Dogara's benefactors who are Muslims could put their religious differences aside to prop him up to the political height he has attained today, how then can the former Speaker, in good conscience, now make religion an issue to bicker over for his party ticket?

I challenge Dogara to come clean and tell Nigerians that his bitterness and bellicosity is not borne out of his genuine love for Christians, but rather because he was not considered the APC Vice Presidential candidate. This is all about his selfish interest dubiously couched in a garb of altruism. The discerning are not fooled one bit.

They'll learn the lessons of their life. The silence of Muslims amidst APC ticket saga will be a big turn around. They surreptitiously hide behind a political party's decision to insult Islam, Muslims and call APC all sort of names which indirectly pointing to Islam.
History will be made, many surprises will emerge.

An illegal PVC registration Center is discovered at Church in Lagos state but no hashtag and nobody has open space to discuss it.
Imagine the ranting that will occupy social and mainstream media if it is a mosque at Kano?

MadamExcellency:
Nobody is talking about developing the bushes and canals. He is talking about liveable places.

Is Northern State even a third of Namibia.

What do U know?
I'm working in the South, I've been to the nooks and crannies of your places and as such you have no moral justification to talk in ignorance.
Those in the South who absconded villages to cities think all the south resemble their new refuge. Go back to your vilages and taste the wrath of total disastrous absent of leadership!

Alexgman1:
In every relationship I find myself, I always try my best to please & satisfy my woman even to my own detriment but it seems no matter what u can never pls a woman. Only few women out there are sincere, loyal & faithful.

My recent & 4th relationship was the most tasking. I fell in love with this girl out of pity & compassion. She was the 1st child of 14 kids. Her mum is late & her dad is based in cameroun with his other 2 wives. I vowed to love & care for her & her sibblings as if they are mine. I sacrificed all i had to make them happy & comfortable.

But the issue is she wanted everynight sex but i couldnt attend to her always. My work was time & energing cosuming so I can't over stress myself. After 1year & a half she left me & went back to her ex. It took me 5 months to get over it.

Recently I called her to come celebrate my birthday with me. I took her to a fast food we eat & drink alot & she even ordered take aways 4 her sibblings. I took excuse to go & do POS & dat was how i left her to pay #24,000 bill.

Nonsense!

tollyboy5:
At this point in time we should stop calling middle Belt nothern state. Kogi,kwara,Abuja,Benue are not nothern in any sense.

May be because you lack the sense to understand that it is neither religion nor tribe that make up a region but demographic make up and structure!

Indispensable85:
A friend who served in jigawa years ago told me this same thing about jigawa roads.

This is pure truth. All LGs have township roads, all major villages and towns are linked with roads, many are being built because this is the only way to make it easy for about 80% of a population of people made up of farmers...
