For all political strategies and intelligence that had been credited to Tinubu by his supporters, that idea of fielding Shettima just demystified everything.
Doubling down to Activate "agbado bishops" just to give the mulsim-muslim ticket some faux endorsement by the "Christian community" further shows they would rather lie to themselves than take reasonable decisions resulting to fair optics in their favor.
As it stands , odds are stacked against Shettima; I doubt Tinubu would want to risk fielding him as his running mate for 2027 elections .
The optics that has followed the Muslim-Muslim presidency for the past 2 years counting are definitely not good for Tinubu . As of today with Trump breathing down Tinubu government’s neck , I doubt Tinubu will take the risk of fielding Shettima who has been alleged to have links with Boko haram in the past as his running mate in 2027 elections .
Perhaps he would field a deradocalized northerner to replace Shettima whose matter don cast tey tey
Quality Education good o. Just look at this guy openly indicting Miyetti Allah as a group that has professionals , educated people as well as bandits/terrorists 😲

MorataFC: I don’t quite understand the highlighted part, in what way is he demarketing the country? Is he lying or misrepresenting anything?
As a nation, if we don’t want our negative actions exposed to the world, then we shouldn’t be engaging in them in the first place.
Were you not around during ENDSARS ?
Most of the youths who posted videos of Nigerian army shooting at unarmed protesters and those who were involved in organizing the peaceful protests ( before it was hijacked by non state actors sponsored by the govt ) were all persecuted .
People’s accounts were frozen by the Buhari’s government and some of them had to flee from the country .
Except Tinubu’s govt wants to do better than Buhari’s, they will most likely be vindictive about the guy’s actions .
TemporaryHansel: Nobody can fault obasa. There's no way you'd be made and not be actively looking for ways to plug your children into the system that made you. Any of us will do the same. The only reason I'm not into politics right now is because I don't like the type of politics being played in Nigeria. You must asslick and be extremely loyal to go far in Nigerian politics, and the kind of person I am I cannot dobale for anybody so I knew it'd be hard for me, that's why I didn't involve myself if not I'd be somewhere now courtesy of my late dad.
There's literally no politician that won't try to bring his children into the system, unless said children aren't interested. And even at that you have to be extremely rebellious and independent, if not they'll force you into the system. It didn't start with obasa, and surely won't end with him. Everybody is fighting for a legacy.
izzou: So the prosecution of the UN Building suspect is still ongoing since 2011
The Owo massacre suspects trial is still ongoing 3 years after.
That's exactly what I was saying that day about Nnamdi Kanu's trial that has lingered this long and Raumdeuter was trying to defend the delay.
Our judicial system allows for delayed justice. If government has evidence against any suspected criminal, let government prosecutors present their case before the courts and have the criminal convicted within the shortest possible period. Sharp!
The only case our judicial system seem to always fast track are election petition cases and it's a shame. Our judicial system allows for criminals to free for as long as the case lingers while the victims will continue to suffer emotional trauma from seeing justice delayed.
CrystalTiger: That's the video I saw and was shocked..But I believe it isn't something new to the USA government sha
Of course, they would've seen the videos even before now. I feel the guy may get witch-hunted by people in government in Nigeria who may see his action as demarketing the country on a global scale. I remember he called Abike Dabiri out few months back and It seemed she blocked him eventually.
People like that will frustrate him if he still has any ties to Nigeria. I know he is abroad currently running his PhD, that's why I say for his sake I hope he has another passport that is not Nigeria's so he can use that one hold body in case Nigerian authorities get offended by his action at this moment that they are under so much pressure from the international community.

Baby terrorist surprise as terrorists sympathizers wailing no reach anywhere...
There's a video under that Trump broadcast about Nigerian government negotiating with terrorists posted by a Nigerian..
For his sake, I really hope that @UnkleAyo guy already has another passport to his name o. That video he posted under the Whitehouse video go far o; I won't be surprised if Nigerian government goes after him if he still has any attachment to the country. They will claim he demarketed the country (Not the current politicians in power)
For example, they may lowkey place a red tape on him by instructing Nigerian Immigration service not to renew his Nigerian passport anytime it is due for renewal. He may face serious difficulty in getting anything done in his name with Nigerian authorities for a long time. Buhari is dead now, but the blacklist his government placed on David Hudenyin still haunts him till date.
Mr. Tunde Azeez Disco has stepped down as the Executive Chairman of Agege Local Government, citing persistent health challenges as the reason for his resignation.
The former chairman submitted his resignation letter to the Agege Local Government Legislative Arm.
He noted that his health status had significantly impacted his ability to effectively discharge his official duties.
The legislative house, while acknowledging Azeez Disco’s dedication to public service, quickly accepted the decision. Following a thorough deliberation, a unanimous resolution was passed, accepting the resignation with immediate effect.
The council wished the outgoing chairman well in his future endeavours, with the event underlining the necessity for public officials to prioritise personal health and well-being.
Ganiyu Obasa, son of the Speaker, Lagos State Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, is the Vice chairman of Agege Local Government.
In May, residents of Agege, under the banner of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the local government election in Agege.
They claimed that Obasa allegedly plans to foist his surrogates as candidates in the local government and councillorship elections.
Iamoyindamola Obasa son is now the substantial Agege LGA chairman. The surrogate has resigned on health grounds.
Me that was thinking Obasa will wait for his son to be Vice for one term before installing him chairman.
GloriousGbola: thats why they are releasing pictures. so if you are accosted b them you can challenge them - if your liver reach sha
They should be prosecuting them not just letting them off the hook hoping the average Nigerian would outwit them should they decide to carryon with their evil ways
typically when a dismissal is accompanied by a media announcement it means the staff was implicated in serious fraud or misconduct and the company wants to completely distance itself from the person. this is a warning to everyone out there.
Let's just hope the DSS collected every property of the agency from them before letting them go. I mean we expect that their service weapons (for those assigned one officially), their ID cards, any Insignia or item that identifies them as DSS agents were duly retrieved from them officially.
We've seen cases of dismissed Soldiers and Police officers carrying out illegal operations with their official uniforms in the past.
Also, if they had committed serious misconduct/fraud, they should be facing prosecution not being released back to the street with the kind of knowledge they possess about the agency . They were secret service agent o
iamoyindamola: If this news is true we have the most useless government, it took foreign intervention for changes to be made Terrorists don't want to feel the wrath of trump
Gumi go just dey vex like this say America wan 4ck with his business plan. Trump don scare away his client base, now he's about to be left with very few clients to consult for.
iamoyindamola: Someone needs to put this man in his rightful place, let them argue and fight over it jare that's what the evil party is known for Use big hand slap the nobodies
Well, the people that served the father will most likely serve the son. Shebi the little handouts wey dem dey give them is always enough for them to fight anybody that wants to vote against them.
izzou: Everything na joke, and a place to argue election results
A wise man once said "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail "
The only view he has as far as Nigeria's current situation is concerned is "My candidate (Tinubu) defeated your candidate (Peter Obi) "and that is all that matters to him. He can't engage in any meaningful political discussion beyond that shallow prism.
izzou: Tinubu as an ex governor blamed a President. Tinubu as a president, took responsibility in his reply to Trump Tinubu has summoned all his service chiefs on this matter Tinubu has decided to appoint Ambassadors after two years to strengthen foreign diplomacy
All these, without even mentioning any governor to be responsible for a National problem
But I should take the words of (remind me who you are again? )??
Ohh....See another group of "Our Son" blaming Tinubu for the death of thousand Christians. You should be really ashamed of yourself that you don't even know when to draw the line between life and political matters.
But then, we live in a shameless generation, don't we?
Opposition kicks as Lagos speaker’s son takes over LG chairmanship
The opposition in Lagos has criticised what it calls a “carefully scripted succession” in Agege Local Government after Abdul-Ganiyu Vinod Obasa, son of Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, assumed office as acting chairman.
Obasa, who served as vice chairman, stepped in after the council chairman, Hon. Tunde Azeez, went on medical leave barely a month after his swearing-in on July 26, 2025. His takeover has stirred controversy among opposition parties, who claim it reflects a pre-arranged politica plan.
The immediate past Lagos State Chairman of the African Action Congress (AAC), Ayo Oni, said the development confirmed their earlier warnings about political manipulation in the July 12 local government elections.
“Everyone in Agege knew the Speaker wanted his son as chairman,” Oni said. “When there was opposition within the APC, they replaced him with another candidate and made his son the vice chairman. Now, conveniently, the chairman is sick, and the Speaker’s son has taken over.”
Oni alleged that the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) failed to conduct proper screening before the election. “We all knew the man presented as chairman was ill and couldn’t campaign. LASIEC should have verified his health status before clearing him,” he added.
He further described the local government system as “a mockery of democracy,” accusing the ruling party of treating councils as family estates. “What we have at the local level is not governance but political control,” he said.
However, within the All Progressives Congress (APC), Obasa’s emergence has been defended as a constitutional and necessary step. The Legal Adviser of the APC in Agege, Remi Bello, said Azeez formally notified the council’s legislators of his illness and delegated powers to his deputy in line with the law.
“The chairman is recuperating, and his deputy is only acting temporarily,” Bello said. “Since taking charge, the acting chairman has been performing well, commissioning projects, employing street cleaners, and engaging with community groups. There’s no cause for alarm.”
Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said it was monitoring the situation but cautioned against drawing hasty conclusions. Engr. Awwal Tahir-Maude, a two-time chairmanship aspirant under the PDP, said: “Anybody can fall ill, and someone must act in their absence. But if we observe anything questionable, we will raise it.”
As Azeez’s medical leave extends, the opposition insists the transition exposes Lagos’ deep-rooted political dynasties. But the ruling party maintains that governance in Agege remains on course, regardless of who holds the gavel at the local level.
Iamoyindamola come and see better tactical plan by Obasa the senior to enthrone Obasa Jnr as Agege LGA chairman.
A40: My guy nobody knows that girl outside of Asaba. And who you marry no consign the average Delta man. You don't want to know the Nollywood actresses e don cancel. They are old cargo to him now hence he ended up with that chic
How many Okitipupa people dey on IG? Please let's be serious here. We are talking of people wey no dey grid and probably aren't using IG compatible phones
This below was his resume before Regina's parents met. There's nothing attachment to a Grade A Nollywood actress can do for a Nigerian politician never mind a C-list that's not even known outside of a niche group
They will do the same thing with Klay Thompson if he ever cuffs that booty shaking girl. You will now hear she made Klay Thompson popular
You may have a strong dislike for the girl and what she represents, but saying she's not known beyond Asaba is a bare faced untrue statement. If nobody knows her why did the social media engagement of her ancestor husband swell (which he seemed to be enjoying the attention too)
People who follow both of them on Social media have confirmed how the man had become active on social media replying comments on her page and even making reels on the same social media.
Nobody has ever denied the man's CV and his accomplishment in life ; those are most likely the reason the girl's mother ensured her daughter ended up in his bed. But you saying she wasn't more popular than him in the mind of an average Nigeria as at time of their marriage is fllacious and just your personal opinion which most people won't agree with.
It's funny you think majority of people in places like Okitipupa don't can't afford Tecno, Gionee, Infinix and those Chinese android phones that can be used to access social media. Go to TikTok and see people from different rural communities creating content and having huge followings sef. People dey even make videos from villages in Zamfara, Gombe, Jigawa, Taraba, and even some remote villages in the south sef.
A40: National level? You mean among Twitter babes?
You think they know Ned Nwoko or Regina Daniels in Okitipupa or Ese Odo local government?
That girl is barely famous on her own talkless of rubbing it on other people.
People in Okitipupa use IG and they see news of Ned and Regina regularly on instablog. It's not even about Twitter sef; they became popular on IG when news of their marriage broke
GloriousGbola: the attention regina has given him is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things social media clout is only tangible for people who dont already have connections ned has no use for SM clout
That's what you think. I doubt Ned himself would agree with you. The same Ned has been hosting concerts and Children's day parties since he married her.
From where I stand, I see two people who enjoy social media attention in Ned and Regina.

Shebi Una dey hear this man now o. He dey threaten Trump on behalf of all Nigerians. 😲
A40: Ned was literally a Member of House of Rep before Regina Daniels was born. That is my problem with that social capital, she made him famous talk
I don't know a millennial male that knows what a Regina Daniels was. She's never been on any adverts, nothing.
If you say babes knew her, fair enough but in Nigeria settings she can be described as C-tier at best
Controversy makes people famous.
It was never in dispute that Ned was a successful man long before his marriage to Regina, but not many people can claim they've heard about him. He was probably like a normal house of reps member without much clout to his name.
For example, if someone randomly mentions Tasir Olawale Raji, not many people would easily relate that he is member of Federal house of Reps currently representing Epe at the national assembly. Let him take one of the young Nollywood actresses now and suddenly his name will be a reoccurrence in our consciousness.
I am not buying the narrative Regina has a hand in Ned's successes, but I completely agree her marriage to him made people started paying attention to him on a national level.
A40: This part is debatable cos even the Regina herself I no sabi am. I've never seen her movie, music video, commercial, billboard. I have never heard her name in a song so how famous is she really?
Does the woman frying Akara for Ita faaji know her? Does Mutiu the vulcanizer know her? So when you say Nigerians consciousness you probably mean a group of people chronically online. I'm one of them and I don't know what a Regina Daniels is. And most Millennial men don't either. The scandalous age gap if anything is what made both of them known. Not like Regina was any type of celeb prior to Ned.
If you don't watch nollywood, then there are chances you might not know her. But u see those people frying akara and artisans who have family members that watch old nollywood movies back in the days of DVD know Regina Daniels as a child actress. Those people and their kids follow her on social media and that was why there was uproar when the news broke she was getting married to an ancestor.
That was when Most people checked the man's profile out only to find out how made he is
