I understand their pains, two of their cooked up points of campaign have been punctured: Atiku created 50,000 jobs and the populist idea, restructuring of the country.

Themandator:
Osinabajo is really a disgrace to the high office of pastorship. Sometime I feel justified to go out and commit one sin when I read what otherwise Jesus and Holy Spirit representative says in public even when he knows same not to be true. Osinbajo should not be seen to be playing the regular politics of the average Nigerian politician. He is a pastor for crying out loud

since you have no idea of the discussion why don't you shut up.

Franklyspeakin:
Atiku is playing more matured here by not replying personally but by doing so through a campaign group. Pls I just like osibanjo. I don't want him doing the work of lai Mohammed or Lauretta he is above propaganda abeg he should just enjoy being v. P and bring some significant input without messing himself up. That's only if BuBu would listen to advice set from Osibaba

Atiku doesnt understand a bit. He cant suddenly come out and be playing a populist card when he has rejected the idea when he was in power. Ofcourse, there is need to revise whatever comment coming out from atiku's camp, he has had the opportunity, but he never supported the idea before build up to 2019, so also we have to revise obasanjo's sudden support for atiku, does it means atiku has just remitted his own share of harllibouton bribe?

Oops, he's the frustrated former yobe state governor with a sex scandal story with 2 women at a time

Mklanceee:
But buhari is sellable right? The man that has drag this country into recession Everytime he is in charge

ofcourse Nigeria went into recession because of $40b that was not remitted to CBN by jonathan govt as confirmed by the then cbn governor, he clearly stated it about 2 years away that if the money is not accounted for Nigeria will slip into recession. Why is it so difficult for you to understand if you are a sincere Nigerian

Obasanjo's bank accounts are suddenly increasing and he is finally happy with atiku courtesy of his remitted share of harllibouton money by atiku.

Mklanceee:
but you have 50% of those you claimed destroyed Nigeria in apc?

Both Atiku and obi are not sellable, continue celebrating assurances. Only lazy, selfish and hateful people are Celebrating their candidatures.

WhyMoD:
That is what it means to be a realist. Not the myopic BMC members here on nairaland that cannot see beyond their noses, yet they think victory is what you get by wishful thinking..

Even Buhari and APC know that Nigerians have rejected them

Hahahahaha, a realist dont celebrate a mere assurance like you

Who is the dirty looking Aisha without a beauty of a woman to talk down on Fashola. Iranu.. Ibos are agitating for power in 2023, it is right. North agitated for power after the death of Yaradua and they got it, it is right. Yorubas agitating for power in 2023, it is not right to clowns. For correction sake, obasanjo was merely coronated by few northerners to protect their interests, he was never a Yoruba candidate. Ibos always wanted to take it all, same way they wanted azikwe to be the identity of western region in the first republic as the premier.

The aircraft engineers can fly/land planes.

Esseite:
Same way they pacified Nigerians with promises....

Was saraki pacified?
Was dogara pacified?
Was shehu pacified?
Was dino pacified?
Was akpabio pacified?

If the known and vocal ones were not pacified, these ones are just on a wild goose chase.

who is dino to be pacified?

Yorubas should reject Atiku/obi to protect Yoruba interest.

TonyeBarcanista:
Actually, my problem with Buhari on this Certificate issue is that he LIED under oath and keep dragging the military into it.

Buhari has no SSCE certificate and he should stop dragging the military to the mud.

He can only be deemed to have met the constitutional provision of "equivalence" of secondary education if he can show proof of FSLC education in addition to his military service and/or ability to read and write as stated in the constitution.

If he was educated in primary school then he should stick to that or use his supposed Diploma from USA War College (like he wants us to believe)

He cannot contradict his earlier submissions for 2014 election

Esseite:
You claim to speak your mind always, the world saw its example in 2015, who has arrested you?

So because Obasanjo spoke his mind on buhari re-election, borders should be closed and his arrest initiated?

With all due respect sir, you have a serious hate issue.

Obasanjo has no mind, he's not consistent.

jumpandpas:
To think that this orphaned earthworm is a SAN baffles me.

Fashola started where your best lasted, you no dey look face omo oko jatijati.

The Yoruba Youth Council, YYC, has frowned at the statement by the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, that President Muhammadu Buhari will return power to the region if they reelect him for a second term in 2019.

Fashola had while speaking at a special Town Hall Meeting on infrastructure organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture and the National Orientation Agency held in Ibadan, Oyo State on Thursday called on the people of the South West to support Buhari’s second term bid in order to regain power in 2013.

The YYC which is the umbrella body of the Yoruba Youths, described the Minister’s call as absurd, adding that President Buhari has not done well to warrant another shot at the presidency.

This was contained in a statement signed by its National President, Eric Oluwole, and made available to newsmen on Friday.

The youths insisted that President Buhari had no solution to any of the problems confronting Nigeria as a nation.

The statement added, “Our attention has been drawn to a vague promise by a former Governor of Lagos State and current Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola during the special town hall meeting organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture and the National Orientation Agency recently, advising Yorubas especially the youths to vote for the incumbent president Mr Muhammad Buhari in the 2019 election so as to enable power shift to the south west in 2023.

“We observe with consternation that Mr Fashola, who is a beneficiary of the social economic crisis which the ruling elite has plunged the Nigerian youths could start serving as an adviser at this critical period if our nation’s existence.

“Having been a beneficiary of Democratic rule since 1999, we will not forget the level of corruption perpetrated by the Minister when he was Governor of Lagos State as leaked by his predecessor, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on assumption to office.

“Yoruba youths also remember with consternation, the statements credited to Mr Fashola that Nigeria’s power problems could be fixed in six months, three years of his reign has the minister in charge of power has not solved our perennial power problems.

“We want him and his likes who are feeding Nigerians with propaganda from the seat of power to know that the youths have learnt from history and will strive hard not to repeat the mistakes of the past in our resolve to revamp the economy of Nigeria.

“The same presidency Mr Fashola is promising Yoruba youth in 2023 is what the current Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige promised the South Easterners. Another attempt to perpetrate the ethnic division of the country?

“We want to say expressly that nothing can stop our collective resolve to ensure the restructuring of Nigeria in order to find solutions to myriads of problems facing our country.

“We again call on Presidential candidates who are committed to the restructuring agenda to show commitment by signing an agreement document to ensure restructuring of Nigeria within six months of their assumption to office.

“Time has come to protect our future and the youths shall do all we can to decide the fate of the 2019 election without leaving a stone,” the statement said.

They are few sponsored ones. The woes of Yoruba race is better imagined than realised under Atiku and a highly myoppic and tribalised Peter Obi.

mexbee1:
Is fashola not aware that the SGF Boss Mustapha said power wld be zoned to Sourh East in 2023 if Buhari is elected and APC has being ringing it all in the media is it that they are confused or wht I dont give two bleeps tho.

As for me and my family we shall be #ATIKUlating OBIdiently 2019

reasonable Yorubas will not allow Yorubas to play second fiddle to ibos that have nothing to offer but self aggrandizement

Teemelanin:
Say *NO* to ethnic division.

but PDP VP candidate is the most tribalised elite I have ever listened to.

IamAtikulate:
If Ogun falls from the terrorist hands just like Osun is about to fall, the terrorists should just forget SW.

rookie, Obasanjo is as useless as ffk, no moral and electoral values, without APC platform, Amosun is nothing...

revolt:
that's the problem you ppl have always had. Very tribalistic bunch of ppl we all know the only reason u support APC is because u consider it a yoruba party and Tinubu holds sway( in true sense hes been relegated to back sit), this same attitude is also felt in work place with you guys. Thus mentality is very backward. I rmba obasanjo was supported Enmasse in the ss and se even with an atiku vp against our numerous brothers that came out. The oil companies you people turned into yoruba civil service and yet had the guts to leave the head offices in ikoyi etc. Your ppl just come to earn fat salaries there and don't even build your homes in the oil regions but u hurriedly work there and flood it with your ilks. You guys detest competition. Anyways this very mentality was what led to the wild wild west of the 60s.


Support progressives even if they're not yorubas. Osinbajo is an astute leader and very learned unfortunately he is a mere vp with no power at all. I'd have voted apc if they presented him but def not this lifeles dullardeen nepotistic analog machine. If atiku had picked a yoruba vp or saraki had emerged in sure your tribalistic hypocritical support would have changed. Gosh.

shut it, who are the you people? Whenever you're being shown strength you start all these your nonsense talks. Who is tribalist between Ibo and Yoruba?

Still waiting for the outcome of their petition on Oba of Lagos, they won't stop amusing one

MajorJeffery:
I am so disappointed in Fashola, a man I respect well, respected now so much for playing tribal politics when a lot of people look up to him as an elite leader.

You don't need to, every tribe has started tribal politics except Yoruba. Just yesterday senator Ume raised tribal Point on the floor of the senate on security Council. Northerners have been agitating power must return to the north after Yar'Adua's death, SE has never for once hid their tribal politics. Be fair in your assessment.

Yoruba no dey act ode like this ologbondiyan. Na the person wey finish job Na him be the owner of the job and Na him you must praise not the person that started it without idea on how to finish it.

Dinho20:
BUHARI CONTESTED AGAINST GOODLUCK JONATHAN FROM SOUTH SOUTH AND HE MANAGE TO WIN WITH ONLY TWO MILLION VOTE.
FEAR SOUTH EAST, THEY ARE SCATTERED EVERY IN THE COUNTRY. SOUTH EAST IS LIKE MTN EVERYWHERE YOU GO YOU MUST SEE THEM

they don't add up, their votes can't effect anything

Dinho20:
BECAUSE HE CONTESTED WITH SOMEONE FROM SOUTH SOUTH, HAD HE CONTESTED WITH A YORUBA CANDIDATE AND SOUTH EAST/SOUTH SOUTH VOTE AGAINST HIM, SORRY WOULD BE HIS CASE

I don't understand your point, yes he contested with a Yoruba man against a SS man and SS/SE voted against him enbloc. He still won comfortably

Dinho20:
IF A CONTEST COMES OUT BETWEEN YORUBER AND HAUSA CANDIDATES, ANYBODY THE SOUTH EAST AND SOUTH SOUTH SUPPORT WILL COME OUT VICTORIOUS

just told you Abiola -SW and Tofa Northerner

Dinho20:
NOBODY CAN WIN ANY ELECTION WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF SOUTH EAST AND SOUTH SOUTH

Buhari just did

amforjustice:
Tofa lost because of Abiola picked kingibe who had the pdm structure bequeathed to him. give me the name of any yoruba that can defeat kwankwanso or tambuwal without vote from SE/SS

poor reasoning

amforjustice:
Tofa lost because of Abiola picked kingibe who had the pdm structure bequeathed to him. give me the name of any yoruba that can defeat kwankwanso or tambuwal without vote from SE/SS

SW will never win election in SE, pls stop mixing things SS is not SE. Don't you know your identity again, the more reason Sunday Olize disgraced you openly. " Pls I am not Ibo"

IamAtikulate:
Which year again was that again? We are not in the ancient times again. Wake up.

Without the SE/SS, South West can not win anything. Moslem norths cannot leave Kwankwaso or Tambuwal to vote for Osinbanjo. Go and check the bill the North almost passed when it was rumored that Buhari is dead.

The North that you think hate Saraki were positioning to make him President.

Even on Saraki, politically he's a north central man, by tribe he's a Yoruba man, hope you know.

asuustrike1:
South west will never smell that seat if don't put themselves in order. The Northern are very smart. They might project a middle belt man for presidency if this madness continue

it is welcome, as long as it is not SE

phase1:
You only became 'consequential' in 2015, just once in the history of Nigerian elections and you think you've arrived? But before then the East have been 'consequential', determining your fate and choosing your leaders for you while you struggled in the backwaters of opposition politics.

If yorubas were as 'consequential' as you posit, Awo and Mko would have been presidents. You only won election JUST ONCE in your national life as nigerians, and that was just yesterday in 2015. Sounds like you are the inconsequential one here historically.

Grab your history book buddy.

l laugh you, so ibo man has been president of Nigeria? Hahahaha, ceremonial nomination is not presidency, such position has been rejected over and over again in other countries e.g Zimbabwe, pls check, absolutely nothing in it. Ibo man man has never been anything important in Nigeria. You lack knowledge and history. No one wants to associate with you, because of your attitude. Attitude is altitude
