After collecting money to attend rally, when the secret street polls come, they still tell Nigerians that they’ll be voting for Peter Obi

Ozinlex:
Na election day we go understand say, this same crowd will all be voting in about 5states in the middle belt.
It does not take Tinubu anything to pay for 20,000 people to be moved in from Niger, Kwara, Nasarawa and Kogi plus their few supporters in Abuja

od501:

Simon Ekpa! Simon Ekpa!! Simon Ekpa!!! . How many times did I shout.. Your name? The long.... arm of law would definitely catch you one day. You can never do all these atrocities and get away with it.

And as for his mumu followers, if what he's doing is good that's why you're supporting him, may what he's unleashing to people betide you.

seunmsg:
How many case seeking the disqualification of Tinubu has been dismissed so far? This should be like the 10th dismissed case instituted mostly by folks from the South east.

The earlier these sore losers accept the inevitability of a Tinubu’s presidency, the better for them. Tinubu will contest and win and there is nothing you haters and bad losers can do about it.

The national secretariat of the Labour Party queried the Kogi State chapter of the party over the poor outing that greeted the Presidential campaign rally in Kogi state.

* It was gathered that most of the attendees, mobilized from neighbouring Enugu State to Lokoja for the rally, invaded the Ganaja Road secretariat of the party and held party officials captive for several hours asking for their mobilisation payment.

Obojuju:
To me the PDP and APC are different sides of the same coin.

1.The APC same-faith is a deliberate, well-calculated plan to sow the seeds of religious and social discord among Nigerians. It is obvious that Northerners, in particular, are the intended targets and victims of this satanic plan. It is an indisputable fact that the whole of Northern Nigeria is currently mired in several intractable socio-economic problems due to the activities of several nebulous criminal groups. Agriculture, the mainstay of the northern economy, is all but abandoned because kidnappers and bandits have prevented people from venturing out of the safety of their homes. Interstate and intercity travel for either business or leisure have all but ceased not only due to un-motorable roads but more so for fear of kidnapping, armed robbery and other forms of banditry. Our rural schools have all but closed for fear of kidnappers. Government-owned universities have closed thus depriving the children of the already impoverished Northern masses access to affordable higher education. Thus, our out-of-school and idle children have become easy targets for recruitment by bandits and kidnappers. And there is no solution in sight.

Then, out of nowhere this man Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a renown Yoruba-hegemonist, a man who championed the establishment of a Ministry of Regional Integration in each state government of the South-west geopolitical region which he bestrides as an emperor, and a man who was once quoted as saying “I do not believe in one Nigeria” (THISDAY, The Sunday Newspaper, April 13, 1997, page 9) comes up with a Muslim-Muslim ticket knowing fully well that religion is the underbelly of Northern Nigeria. APC’s same-faith ticket is a ploy to further sow discord among Northerners using the most potent weapon of social discord – religion. As Karl Max once said – “religion is the opium of the people”. Nigerians from all shades of the society must see this Tinubu/Kashim same-faith ticket as a proposal from the pit of hell that can only be conjured by the most Machiavellian minds known to man and therefore must be rejected wholesome by all lovers of our country and its nascent democracy.
On the other hand, Alhaji Kashim Shetima, Tinubu’s Vice Presidential running mate is a man who once said “restructuring my foot, let’s restructure our minds”. For eight years he presided over Borno State at a time when Boko Haram was overrunning the state almost at will and restructuring the minds of its victims against Christianity and western education. The kidnapped Chibok and Dapchi girls and many more are now slowly trickling out of captivity in the Boko Haram indoctrination camps fully Islamized and carrying children born into Islam in captivity – a true example of “mind restructuring” if there ever was one. There is also this little matter of an allegation of a very close relationship or otherwise between the Vice-Presidential candidate of APC and Boko Haram! And, which Christian can forget one Kabiru Sokoto the alleged Boko Haram kingpin accused of complicity in the Christmas bombing of St Theresa Catholic Church, Madallah that resulted in 44 deaths and 77 injured Christian worshippers? Or that the said Kabiru Sokoto was eventually arrested at his hiding place in the Borno State Government Lodge Abuja? Are Christians not justified in being scared of a government run by this duo?

2. Surely, APC’s same-faith ticket is intended to shame Christians and bestow on them and their religion a second-class socio-political status in their own country. In particular it is a validation of the discrimination and oppression being meted out on Northern Nigerian Christians where they are now denied employment, promotion, contracts, and admission to read prestigious and marketable courses in government-owned schools simply on account of their religion. It is no wonder then that Alhaji Bola Tinubu thinks that the Bible is a book of jokes from which he can freely construct his “jokes” like his “Poisoned Holly Communion” and “Speaking in Tongues” jokes. If he is man enough, I challenge him to ridicule the Holy Quran even once as he freely does the Holy Bible. This guy has no respect for Christians and Christianity at all.

3. This APC ticket goes against the grain of Nigerian politics which in practice (if not in law) has always sought to achieve a religious balance in its politics and governance. It is worth noting that all the other seventeen political parties fielding presidential candidates have gone the way of established conventions and practices by fielding different-faith tickets. Truly except for its incitement to social disharmony, there is no sense at all in APC’s same faith ticket.

4. Furthermore, in our quest for justice and equity in the socio-political and religious space of the country, it is obvious that only the Obi/Datti ticket has the potential of speaking to the genuine clamor for power shift to the South-East and at the same time speak to the cry of marginalization by our people of the South-East. Obviously, a Christian/Muslim presidency like the Obi/Datti one will be most appropriate at this stage of our political journey more so since we are now transiting from a Muslim/Christian presidency. It will also achieve the regional shift of the presidency from the current NW/SW to a SE/NW presidency as popularly being canvassed. This is justice; this is equity. This is political engineering at its best and one that engineers peace and harmonious co-existence of the various socio-political and religious classes of our nation.

5. Nigerians should also resist the temptation of being ruled by the same set of courtiers who are recycling themselves, their children and their friends in a monarchal fashion, in and out of government to the exclusion of other segments of the society. This trend has resulted in these disastrous consequences in which we now find ourselves – impoverished, unsecured, divided, severely underdeveloped and massively unemployed with a widening gulf between the rich and poor of the society. A keen observer will not fall to notice that APC is a transmutation of Action Group/UPN that is dominated by the children or grandchildren of those who once run and ruined the Action Group while the PDP is a transmutation of NPC/NPN similarly dominated by the children or grandchildren of the people who once run and ruined the NPC. A government of either APC or PDP will only be a recycling of the same class of people who have been running and ruining the country from independence to date. Is it any wonder that Nigeria has remained static? The Obi/Datti will give us breath of fresh air and the greatest opportunity to redeem our country from the quagmire into which we have been plunged by a recurring group of self-centered reactionaries.

6. There is a also this palpable fear and anxiety over a possible transition of the current presidency from one Fulbe to another – same tribe, same religion, same region, same courtiers. This has given rise to a heightened fear of a possible perpetuation of a Fulbe hegemony in the country. Besides, there is the perception by many Nigerians that the Fulbe are the main actors in the banditry and kidnappings currently ravaging the country. Therefore, there is a widespread perception that another Fulbe-led government will not have the inclination or political will to address the country’s security challenges seeing as a majority of the perpetrators are its kindred.
There is also this perception that appointments by the current government are driven more by ethnic and religious cronyism than by Nationalistic considerations. This has given rise to a fear of a possible perpetuation of this trend by another Fulbe-led government. Both APC and PDP presents us with these horrible options. The Obi/Datti ticket possesses a great potential to wean us from these problems.

7. Finally, as the political campaigns advance towards the election dates, the tendency to divide the country along regional, tribal and religious affiliations is gradually beginning to manifest. We can see very clearly that the APC having woefully failed in its original plan to instigate a form of jihad which it had sought through its same-faith ticket in order to capture the Muslim votes, has now resorted to a tribal card. The battle cry is now “it is our turn” tribal card in the South-West. The PDP on the other hand, seeing new opportunities in APC’s failed jihad strategy is tending towards adapting both the religious and ethnic strategies of APC in the North.

EdiskyHarry:
The worst part of it is Akwa ibom State.
You will wonder why you see thousands of Akwa ibomites flooding places like Lagos, Abuja, port Harcourt, delta, bayelsa etc.
It's because life is very difficult in Akwa ibom,
We only have governors who only build worship centers, stadiums, 10 lanes, 24 story building and other unnecessary things that will not benefit the people.
Akwa ibom is not what most of you believe it is. As graduates, youths and everyone, we are suffering here. Workers are not paid, no gratuity ,no pension, no job. Only those that enjoy the state are the idiots who collects 20 thousand every week to sing praises to the government.
Udom Emmanuel is a total failure and a big disaster to Akwa ibom, every reasonable Akwa ibomites knows this

wirinet:
He pocketed Lagos by collecting 5 - 10% of Lagos IGR since 2007, apart from the humongous pension and allowances. No other governor is allowed that privilege.

You must be anointed by him before you can hold any political office in Lagos.

You must be anointed by him before you can become an Oba in Lagos or any other traditional office.

His daughter is the Iya-Oloja of Lagos. Meaning she collected dues from all the markets in Lagos.

Finally, his ageros are in charge of all the Garages and motor parts in Lagos.

Meanwhile, the past 2 governors that he loves to claim their achievements are not on good terms with him. I have not seen Fashola support his presidential ambitions.

Tinubu's main claim to the presidency is that it is the turn of the Yorubas and he is the current leader of the Yorubas. If you profess that kind of ethnocentric reason for political office in any other clime, you will be rejected. That's apart from the fact that Tinubu is too old, frail and senile to be an effective president.

wirinet:
E shock me o. Every project by every governor since 1999 is being attributed to Tinubu by Tinubu supporters. They have even started claiming projects before 1999 like opening up Epe through the Lekki Epe express way. To them Lagos was Shithole before 1999. The irony is that Tinubu did not get on with his next two predecessors but still their projects was attributed to Tinubu.

Bunnatex:
Truth be told the President is right

He has reiterated this severally on the need for LGA to be completely autonomous but it has fallen on deaf ears.

I can remember him saying that LGA's has capacity to fight insecurity cause according to him, everyone is known at the local level. Nothing is unknown there. No unknown Gunmen or Boko Harm at that level. Everyone is fully identified...

This needs to be implemented...

However, in the other news, I'm fully Obi_dient And Yusuful

RESTMOUTH99:
What efforts has Buhari made using his veto power to stop the joint account by states and local government since over seven years in office? That issue is what national conference aimed to restructure would have solved but he ignores it. He is also part of the cabals that benefits from the bad system that's why he is giving lip service without action to the ugly phenomenon

olahero:
The hardship that those Governors are causing masses is bigger than anyone could imagine, they ran LG aground in other for them to steal from their pots of soup, some states doesn't have any LGs Chairmen in place uptill this moment.

I still don't know the reason why Buhari hasn't veto the bill of LG Autonomy.

The harms Governors are causing to the masses are quantifiable.

Superwave16320:
But you forget the roles you igbos played in truncating the freest election in Nigeria with Nzeribe may his soul tit in the deepest party of hell or do we say Nzeribe is also from Delta n not true Igbo like you claim with the cursed wretched oloriburuku Igbos that orchestarated the first coup in Nigeria.

Parachoko:
But Igbos have been voting for Politicians like Ekweremadu and his likes.

Party structure matters a lot in Nigeria because Nigerians vote along party lines.

That's why no unknown party will wrestle power from the APC,APGA and PDP in the South East in the 2023 Elections.

Musauzor:
I even prefer a gorilla as the president to Tinubu. I hate this BATstard with my blood. He is a tribalist of the highest order. Let him keep embarrassing himself in the name of campaigning. Babla Blu bahaha Blu hobla . Idiotic senile and demented drug trafficker Who wants to be Nigeria's president in his senile dream.

Asiwaju 2023. If Igbos had come out clean that, they too want to taste presidency even for once, may be i would have given them my vote but no, they hide behind the lie that OBI was a performer when he was governor of Anambra state. They do this insulting other tribes....all we tell them is, we shall see.

Sonyboom:
Every fool thinks he overwise SW SE SS have mind of their own n they keep voting failures such as Ikpeazu Ugwuayi Abaribe Theodore Orji Kalu Orji Elechi while they do not reelect proven performer like Amechi Akpabio ...lol.

You fools think narrative only fit Igbo foolishness anytime you like to switch it on. Mumu man.

sleek214:
Him crowd go many pass Obi crowd for Kano. Kwankwaso will have the highest number of people in his campaign rally in Kano but Atiku will have the highest number of votes in Kano. Feelers from Kano said the people love Kwankwaso but will vote Atiku because they don't want to waste their votes. They know Kwankwaso can't win the General Election

Tinubumustfail:
Jokers SW in the bags for him. But Atiku will share it 50:50 with Obi. Tinubu is not even sure of Lagos talk more of SW

ScamHunter:
An Afonja Muslim calling Igbo traitors
Nigerians know who the backstabbing tribe is. You thought it's when they believe your Lagos Ibadan expressway media? The Northerners have already made it clear that they're not voting Tinubu but solidly behind Atiku. So it'll take a miracle for Tinubu to come second in this election. He may even drag number 3 with Kwakwanso. This election is between Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar.

ScamHunter:
Obi already has 3 zones on lockdown, but can he snatch a state or two from Tinubu in the South West and a state or two from Atiku in the NE or NW?

Opinedecandid:
Atiku, the next President.

Atiku's Vote Gallery:
North East 60%
North West 40%
North Central 40%
South West 30%
South East 30%
South South 40%



The other candidates can share the rest.
We don't care.
