They have started crying already. Wike is insignificant, okay. Wike has no relevance, okay. Wike cannot deliver Tinubu to Rivers, accepted. Why exactly are they crying

U call stating facts crying?

It is this calculation that i do not understand. Why would Atiku winning be a surprise? I always thought he was the most likely winner.

Honestly, with the whole Wike-Atiku beef I didn't really think Atiku stood much of a chance and with the way Northern APC governors were giving Tinubu assurances and all. People aren't even campaigning for Atiku like that in South(Like Lagos for example).

The whole fuel scarcity and naira redesign issues just gave him some mad leverage that most people didn't see coming.

. They asked a Physics Prof. Why don't you like changing your questions? He answered, as long as the three laws of thermodynamics have not changed, he won't change his questions.

They always do those shiiits in the Sciences, they can't really do that in the Social sciences cos things change over time

Theflint1:
The media didn't really scrutinize any of the manifestos like that sef.

Probably why it seems like it's LP/APC that's been getting the bulk of scrutiny is that APC relies heavily on propaganda and LP has taken control of the most important part of the propaganda machinery which is social media. APC has on their part fought back in their own way through traditional media outlets they own, and their online soldiers.

U are missing the point. AriseTv for example is owned by a PDP man, yet AriseTV had spend more time discussing Obi and Tinubu candidacy than they've even done about Atiku. Due to their constant hearing of LP/APC news materials, the general discussion has been around those two.

raumdeuter:
It wont be shocking because most APC on ground know its a bg fight with Atiku and they are not underrating him

Currently with the latest new notes and fuel scarcity there have been more people disenchanted with APC and this favours Atiku more. He is currently in my opinion the slight favourite over Tinubu

Obi is just for distraction and entertainment

I do not share the sentiments that Obi is a distraction. In fact, Obi would impact on votes Tinubu would've easily clinched in places like Lagos and the north central like Plateau, Benue and Nasarawa.

Obi is headache for the two parties in different parts of the country. Places like Delta, Edo where PDP would've have hoped to have a great showing, Obi will be a problem for them there too.

DissTroy:
Atiku reused the 2019 manifesto verbatim. The university professor who wrote the policy document cane out to complain in August that he's not been paid for it and he was supposed to be augmented by the Atiku team.

The Obi vs Tinubu media slagging favours Atiku. PDP media team just relaxed for Hundeyin and the rest to do damage to Tinubu's chances in the North while Atiku walks in to mop up votes.

And both Obi and Tinubu camps detest each other so much, they are willing to accept Atiku as an alternative. Even on this thread.

Lmao

It's the lack of effort for me. Baba no even bother change anything, he be like some lecturers wey their lesson note dey same for like 20 years

Theflint1:
Atiku was the first to release his manifesto though, one thing that's stayed consistent with him is his plans for privatization and restructuring. If he wins and successfully restructures the country like the South has clamoured for, it'd be the biggest gift he gave the country.

Atiku will either come first or third, I don't see any middle ground for him with the way his campaign has gone.

I know he released manifesto, but the media has not scrutinized it like they are doing Obi and Tinubu's

Theflint1:
Funny thing is I don't think Atiku would go after Wike personally if he wins, most likely his play would be to collect the Rivers part infrastructure from him and give someone else.

Wike boxed himself too much into a corner, na why e dey where e dey so. If APC wins, them go throway am go one corner, the only thing he might gain from them is freedom from persecution. He knows Peter Obi won't go after him if he wins, and that's why he went with BAT.

Atiku might not plan to go after Wike personally, but Wike's kinsmen who campaigned for Atiku but were persecuted will ask for their own pound of flesh and Atiku will definitely not deny them. Wike closed filling stations owned by loyalists of Atiku and claimed they are into bunkering. This morning I saw a news report on expolsion rocking a media orgnization owned by a known Atiku loyalist in Rivers State.

Most of these guys will come for Wike if Atiku wins by chance and Atiku won't deny them the chance of getting back at Wike

ouzo1:
Bro wetin Atiku dey plot right now pass Politics o...Na him last real chance be dis .

The strange thing about Àtiku's moves this election period is that he's not really had much media attention scrutinising him.

Most of us don't even know much about his plans or manifesto till date. All the media has been throwing in our face is Tinubu and Obi's stories/plans.

It will be shocking if Atiku springs a surprise, wins and then we doon't even know what campaign promise we will hold him to account for after 4 years 🤦‍♂️

ouzo1:
Sure...Bt I hate betrayal, come out openly and declare support, not all dis night runs like Ashawo na.

Na so naija politics be na

ouzo1:
Before Today I was doubting Atiku bt wetin my eyes take see wey some APC governors run behind Tinubu back, E shock me wella.

Apart from Northern governors sef, the PDP house of assembly members sef go cook for their party. They won't have any problem selling the presidency of Atiku to their kinsmen.

If Atiku do mistake win this election ehn, make Wike just enter creek join militants dey burst pipeline o

raumdeuter:
Whoever wins the election cos the policy is geared towards election unless they want to preserve it for governorship as well

Buhari and Emefiele will not just tell people that their old notes are useless. Neither will Atiku or Tinubu given their recent statements. Na things like that go cause Arab spring

The thing calming people currently is the assurance that they will be able to change it once election or swearing in is over

Remove that and you will see massive protests

There's nothing like Arab spring anywhere. As of today the cash is already circulating and people are adjusting. I also believe the new notes will be pumped back into the banking system even though it may not be in the same proportion as the old notes were mopped out of circulation.

People will definietly have their old notes accepted , but they will get exact new notes cash in exchange for it. All those talk about Arab spring na just politicians mongering rumors

A001:
Nigeria is a big joke. Our policitians make a mockery of democracy. Apparently, democracy isn't the best form of government for Africans.

I Don talk this thing several times ; Africans need to come up with the system of government that suits them, their culture, tradition and biases.

raumdeuter:
By March 3, The Supreme Court will support the governor

So it will be that Buhari achieved his aim of no old notes before election while upholding the Supreme Court verdict

One can't be so sure. I think it boils down to who wins the election sha. Supreme court is just threading with caution, dem no Want Buhari wahala for now

seankafor:
I believe with this now

Voted buying has been 80% curbed

I applaud buhari on this one

I doubt vote buying has been curbed. I saw a video of APC supporters who attended the rally yesterday in Lagos being paid in old notes while inside a red BRT bus.

People like that will be asked to accept the old notes with the hope that if APC wins the election the whole naira redesign will be reversed or relaxed and those who got paid to vote with old notes will be able to spend /exchange the old notes for new one.

Let's just wait and see where all these will end sha.

A001:
Another adjournment by the Supreme Court till after the presidential elections. Lols. Bunch of clowns.

Supreme court no want Buhari wahala. They wash their hands off the case; just like high court refused to grant DSS arrest warrant for Emefiele

Fear who no get immunity and no fear Buhari o

Donjazet2:
Come on, now you're not being entirely honest, you know exactly what I mean.

Every single opinion we have is shaped from information received from various sources around us..
As I said, it's very reasonable for someone to say that I "influenced" his decision to vote Obi.
Just as someone can say dayo "influenced" their decision to vote buhari in 2019.

Infact he was getting ready to do the same thing this election cycle with tinubu, if I didn't stop him in his tracks by revealing his sordid past and motivation of his support here.



So you know full well what I mean.

There are some voters here who have barely commented on their choice of candidate but will vote and then there are those responsible for shaping the opinions of others. No need to argue over this
.

Funny how u claim to stop Raumdeuter in his tracks yet he still campaigns for Tinubu on this thread thread till yesterday evening.

Honestly ehn, I think once u convince urself about something there's nothing anybody can do or say to make u see otherwise. Like u have this kinda personality that makes u think "It's my way or no other way".

I mean how do u try to explain away the fact that u actually voted Buhari despite experiencing hardship under Buhari's presidency and then u think it's Raumdeuter who is far away in America that is more influential in the scheme of things ?

Omo!

Donjazet2:
See, that statement was to highlight the difference between my activities in both campaign cycles. This campaign cycle, one could reasonably say I have influenced their decisions to vote and vote for Obi via my activism for him.

Just like in 2019 and 2015, one could say dayo had influenced their decision to vote for buhari.

That statement was to highlight the difference in both, there are many silent Obi or tinubu voters here but they're not responsible or a factor for any other person's choice.
So unlike now where I have actively persuaded and sold a candidate to other people, I did not do such in those cycles.

And even after voting buhari, I did not create excuses for his bad governance.
As for 2019, I've said it , we were dealt 2 bad hands, a VP is very inconsequential in any government, I doubt any Obi supporter is voting obi because of datti Ahmed.
Same way Obi was not a factor for many people.

There's no emperical data to show that online campaign of someone who lives far away in America made Buhari president in 2019, but there's INEC data to show that Millions of people who voted in 2019 made Buhari president for a second term. You are one among those millions. That's a fact. Just accept it and move on.

Then take the advice I'v always offered, stop getting confrontational with people based on their choice either because you feel they are religious or ethnic bigots or because they make tribal innuendos. Sell ur candidate on his merits, disprove any propaganda u feel is being thrown around to tarnish his candidateship and hope for the best at the polls. That way we can all live happily ever after

Wahala just dey this place

Donjazet2:
Yes I voted for buhari in the past cycle but important difference, I DID NOT CAMPAIGN FOR HIM!

Ol boy wetin be this ? You voted for him but didn't campaign for him

Maybe u don't know , ur vote has much power than ur campaign. For example Raumdeuter has been campaigning for Tinubu but he's not voting cos he's far away from Nigeria and doesn't hold a PVC. Ur vote will definitely count more than his online campaigns.

Just own it that u are one of those who rewarded Buahri with second term after a disastrous first term. Nobody go beat u and it doesn't stop u from campaigning and voting for Obi.

This man finished wike here

https://www.nairaland.com/7580385/atiku-mocks-wike-says-he

Na everything I tell itsrm on sunday about his principal na him Atiku dey talk.

He said, “Even the dead know that the APC can never win in Rivers State. Wike cannot deliver his polling unit to Tinubu. He is aware of this and that is why he is not bold enough to come out with his full chest to ask the people of the state to vote for Bola Tinubu. Rather, he is chasing shadows, making innuendos.

“At least Rotimi Amaechi was man enough to dump the PDP and defect to the APC in 2015, and openly campaigned for President Muhammadu Buhari against his kinsman, President Goodluck Jonathan. This is what real men do when they have the conviction. Wike said he would announce his preferred candidate in January 2023. Three weeks have since passed but he is not man enough to do so.”

Wike a.k.a Mr. Promise and fail. Make he name him candidate turn to issue, he begin talk parable of the sower upandan

A001:
I dey hear say banks go shut down their networks from tomorrow till Monday for the election on Saturday. Na the traders dey carry the rumor

Bro na politicians dey behind these wicked rumours. Why will a bank shut down its network cos of elections that will hold weekend? Banks even make more money through online transactions during weekends, public holidays and periods like this when movement is restricted.

These things na politicians die minutes propaganda .

I saw a news of some guys caught with around 17million fake new notes. Na these kind propaganda go help politicians put people under pressure and make dem accept some of these fake notes without knowing.

INEC has received cash for the elections

https://www.nairaland.com/7579815/2023-election-inec-gets-cash

The army says the new naira design has reduced insecurity/insurgency in the north
