Akeredolu's game plan has become clear now. His southern unity mantra was just a smokescreen for Tinubu's presidential ambitions. We are not fooled, after all he was amongst those that betrayed the only SS president for the benefit of the north. Unless the south comes together and support SE or SS, then the north should continue.

Yorubas will clamour for the presidency to be zoned to the south in the spirit of fairness but will reject it being micro-zoned to the southeast as the only region in the south that has not yet produced a president. You will hear them say power is not given on a platter of gold you work for it yet they don't want the north to work towards retaining power beyond 2023. Yorubas with amala sense.

hotseat:
The deep seated acrimonious disposition of the SW/SE is a major impediment to power shift to the South.


The northern oligarchs are mindful of this lacuna and are poised to capitalize on it at the appropriation time!

because the north is wiser and smarter politically than all or most of us in the south. I know too well southwest chances will be bruised at the 11th hour.

South west leader? I thought he was a NATIONAL leader? This is a knock on Tinubu's profile

I think he is mocking Tinubu's presidential ambition, reducing him to south west president.

South west leader? I thought he was a NATIONAL leader? This is a knock on Tinubu's profile

usmexy1:
Tinubu is an individual who makes the an unexpected dreams of individuals to come true... e.g Osinbanjo

Who made Atiku's dream to be VP come thru
Who helped GEJ dream to presidency?
Who discovered the likes of Adeshina Adewunmi the present president of AFDB?
Who discovered brains like Ngozi Okonjo Iweala?
Who discovered gov Nyesome Wike of Rivers state, Tambuwal of Sokoto state, Gov Emmanuel Udom of Akwa ibom?

Some People keep deceiving themselves praising Tinubu for his ability to discover talents. I don't really know what they mean by that. But I know discovering talents is a common thing we find in almost every state in Nigeria. Yet these sycophants won't praise someone like GEJ for discovering Adeshina Adewunmi or praise OBJ for discovering d likes of Ngozi Okonjo iweala, Nuhu Ribadu, Charles Soludo etc.

Fellow yorubas won't jump on this type of headline since its an obvious truth being voiced by one of their sons against their highly esteemed jagaban. Thank God this is coming from a honest Yoruba man, else they would have been throwing mud at other people and telling them how backward their region is

Nnamdi KANU has helped Nigerians to better understand that the north has an agenda to subjugate the rest of Nigeria. I am not from the east but I think in all honesty he should be celebrated for that. Whether Biafra is achieved or not, I believe his revelations and agitations has started changing the dynamics of politics in Nigeria. For instance, its the first time ever the entire southern states are clamouring for presidency to be zoned to the south.

Your over rated mystical Yoruba nation agitator Sunday Igboho is dying of kidney complications in a Benin prison

Curious345:
Huhn..

Biafra will come , but not now .

I'll say this : that in 60yrs time, the reality of biafra would be an eventuality in this nation.

But why ipob is upping the crescendo to volcanic proportions is what I cannot understand..

Elections should hold .

Don't tie the freedom of a population to the mistake of one albino

mandax:
Yorubas are even more determined in their agitation for Oduduwa Nation, than Igbos agitating for restoration of Biafra.

This is not true. It was the Biafra agitation that triggered the Yoruba nation agitation. But as usual I don't see much sincerity in the struggle for Yoruba nation. I see it as a political move to get the presidential ticket of APC.

duro4chang:
I repeat, affliction will not rise the second time.

APC is the affliction that should never happen again. $1 = N600
A bag of rice now N27000
Petrol now N62 per litre

I can go on and on
If you support APC in 2023 you are worst than fulani

If we say anybody above 70 years by 2023 should not contest, because this will affect Tinubu. The betrayals will change the song to.....age doesn't matter but competence. In 2019 they kept saying Atiku is corrupt. They want us to believe Atiku is corrupt even when he has no criminal case both home and abroad but they want us to believe Tinubu is not corrupt. Double standard people.

tnerro1:
No to another Fulani for 8 years instead of them, just give it to Tinubu

Tinubu grandparents are Fulani so Tinubu is a fulani

If you have been watching journalist hangout( one of the media arm of Tinubu political agenda) you will see biased way they analyse politics and governance. The like of Babajide and co have been ardent advocate for APC all because of Tinubu's ambition. They are however so embarrassed by the poor performance of Buhari but they still look for a way to give his govt and APC a pass mark just to see that Tinubu succeeds Buhari.

Imagine Akeredolu pushing for all parties to present a southern candidate. On the surface one will think he is working for the interest of the entire southern region but tacitly that move is only to favour APC. But I trust the likes of Wike and other PDP southern governors. They seem to be playing along but their joker is held tightly to their chest

joshjc:
he got majority of the vote from the southwest in 2011,in 2015 the margins were not much, besides Jonathan didn't do anything for the south

So what did Buhari do for the south in his first term that made the southwest gave him their support? The southwest all the while has been working for their personal agenda and they care less what happens to other regions.

In 2015 we heard the betrayals saying things about GEJ being incompetent and clueless. So they brought in a fulani called Buhari who they believe is messiah. Now they are shouting Fulani is must not rule us again. In summary they are simple saying power must come to south west and to Tinubu in particular. We know them and how they reason. But we won't be fooled by their threachery

humility33:
I am more concerned about ths betrayals from the south that help foist this fulanis cartels in power...so a region is selfish and not to be trusted

The problem is not fulanis but the kind of fulani the SWs sold to us in 2015 and betrayed GEJ for


Buhari never hide it all this while his sentiments towards sharia, his sentiments towards boko haram or his sentiments as a sectional leader

The northerners i know dont pretend they tell u the way it is and boldly express their feelings

We saw it coming but some southerners greed for power made them reach out to the CPCs and form a coalition to get them some sizeable votes from the South and middle belt so as to get the presidency and then after 8 years the power rotates to them.... they don't mind if many Nigerians dies during this 8 years stint all they wanted was power back to their region

Yoruba's want 2023 contest to be an all southern game but we in the south south and southeast say no to your antics. We are ready to support any competent candidate whether north or south. Politics of ethnicity has not helped Nigeria so let's talk about competence, antecedent and ability to deliver the dividence of good governance to all Nigerians. Its obvious APC knows nothing about governance

tunjijones:
Bros I don't care where the next president wld come from but definitely a Fulani man can never be the president after this useless bubu.

And for anybody to advocate votes for Fulani just because u want ur easterner to be the VP... Then you are the real enemy of Nigeria.

You introduce Fulani to us in 2015 and 2019 and we have come to love them and their style of governance. So let Fulani continue for all I care. Your ethnic strategy is not working this time around. APC zone to south, PDP zone to north. It will be Atiku/Obi or Tambuwal/Wike

SonofDevil:
you re right jare. it is the betrayal that has been killing, slaughtering, kidnapping and raping women in south east .
Infact fulanis and igbos re one.

We will deal with the enemy when the time comes but for now let's deal with the betrayals

South east is already a PDP stronghold. Southeast know that Fulani us not their real enemies but fellow southerners who are betrayals by default

SonofDevil:
leave story Fulani herdsmen already demarket their politicians.
Buhari is the last fulani president in Nigeria

I cant wait to see how pdp leaders will go and market another Fulani in south east

tunjijones:
Must Peter obi be a second fiddle to a Fulani man? Am sure you know that a VP can't really make any difference, obvious from what we see with bubu and Osinbajo.

My point is why can't Peter obi be the presidential aspirant for PDP or do you feel he is not competent enough?

Peter Obi is competent enough, but politics is a game of number and influence, so he needs someone like Atiku. This was the same reason why Tinubu didnt run for presidency in 2015 but was begginf to be VP to Buhari

The southwest think they are smart. They hurriedly formed southern governors forum and came up with a resolution that all parties must present presidential candidate from the south. because they know clearly well that this will favour Tinubu's presidential ambition. But PDP already knows its joker if the party must return back to power. So their strategy is to play the Fulani ethnic card, to demarket Atiku and Tambuwal and to create bad blood in the south. Besides, Fulani is not the only ethnic group in the north.

Buhari, Osibanjo ,Tinuby and APC as a whole are more dangerous than bandits. Their cluelessness and maladministration has brought the country to its knees and impoverished her populace. Anyone supporting APC and the names mentioned above is a bandit and terrorist

abokimallam:
Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed are Fulanis. Fulanis are the bandits , kidnappers,Jihadists and herdsmen wrecking havoc in Nigeria. Fulanis are only 6% of Nigeria.They have Mali, Senegal, Chad, Niger, as their other countries they can go to after destroying Nigeria. We in the south have no other country we can run to.
Fulanis have only come to steal and to destroy Nigeria.
A vote or sponsorship of any Fulani as President of Nigeria, is a vote for destruction of Nigeria.

Come 2023, I will rather Atikulate than to follow SWAGA without Swag

quote author=aviara post=106954586]Atiku is a better candidate than Tinubu and Osibanjo. Cone 2023 its better to Stimulate than to follow SWAGA without Swag[/quote]

Any step, strategy and candidate to ensure the dislodging of the devil's party called APC is a welcome development.

Atiku is a better candidate than Tinubu and Osibanjo. Cone 2023 its better to Stimulate than to follow SWAGA without Swag

The south west betrayed the southern region to take power up north. Come 2023 we will repay the southhwest to retain power in the north. APC and yorubas fear Atiku and Tambuwal so much. These two are the nightmare to the southwest and Tinubu political calculations and permutations. PDP already knows what to do. At the 11th hour PDP chairman will resign n handover to a southerner n give the presidential ticket to a northerner.

Yorubas played the competence card in 2015 and come 2023 they want to play the ethnic card. Yoruba's know only Atiku and Tambuwal have the political strength to defeat Tinubu and Osibanjo. So you will hear them say "Atiku is old school" Atiku is corrupt" Atiku is Fulani etc. Nigerians are wiser. The north can continue 2023 as long as such candidate is competent and able to promote unity, fairness, justice n prosperity. All these APC as a party has denied majority of Nigerians

This is a distraction to demarket PDP strategy of fielding a northern presidential candidate.

I thought they said this guy has mystical power given to him by his ancestors that makes him invincible and superhuman. So all was mere media hype and initial gragra. What a pity

Peter Obi is the type of leader Nigeria truly deserve at this critical time as a country.

This launch is because report has it that Tinubu is scheduled to return to Nigeria temporarily this week from London but to return for further treatment. So he wants to set his game on. A sick man needing help wants to help a sick nation
