Don't mind these illiterates, they don't know what is going on yet, Tinubu won't smell that primary. Fear these Northerners. I tell you,.fear them. If you know the dollars wike shared, along with those he lodged at transcorp, walaihi you will understand his anger. Also wike acted foolishly. Tinubu will be shocked at what is going to happen. Buhari won't even nominate a man as old as his age.

More so a Muslim like himself, you wan pursue Christians from APC?

zionstaar75:
atiku can never win that election guy,I laugh at u guys ignorance whoever wins apc primary is Nigerians president. That's why tinubu is desperate. Its selection we'll have next year not election. The election will be rigged the way pdp 2007 and there's nothing anyone can do about it

You are 100% correct, nothing for Tinubu or Atiku.

MMWandali:
The most undemocratic party ever

More undemocratic than The Labor Party that Peter Obi joined less than a week ago, but he already their presidential aspirant?

Chimaraymond455:
Nobody is forcing you to step down,

but we still maintain our stands,

without Igbo president come 2023 north continue,

After Obasanjo 8years, south west
Osinbajo vp 8years south west
then you want to another south west, and you call your self human?

Power is not returning to south anytime soon until south east rule.

This is how you Ipobians always brag blindly, then when they win without you, you will start wailing marginalization?

We weren’t given any juicy political positions.

MrBrownJay1:
"the chance of me to be the future president of Nigeria.... is as tiny as this yeye table you put in front of me"

That is the Vice President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria you are referring to, Maybe you were in Casablanca Morocco when he stood in stead for ailing President Buhari?

He has already been recognized as the President of the Republic on more than one occasion, something Bola Tinubu is begging for just one day?

Tonnierichy:
You try. But you know your only miscalculation? Majority of the voters are illiterates

Well right now it is an APC affair, President Buhari & his cabal in Aso Rock will select VP Osinbajo.

They have already agreed the positions he will cede to them Northerners when they make him President, number one position on the list, Minister for Petroleum, Budget & Planning, Minister for Agriculture, & Finance Minister, United States & UK Ambassador, Representative to OPEC & many more for starters.

bennybuhari:
who do u think can win Atiku among them? tell us now so that we test your knowledge of politics. dont wait till after primary

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will send Atiku Abubakar into final political retirement.

fm7070:
Atiku is the next president. You think they don't know what they are doing?? Power will remain in the North.
Tinubu ha shot himself in the head because of his selfishness and power-drunkenness. 1. Removal of Ambode will haunt him like ghost. If Ambode happen to be the Lagos state governor, with his first term governance pattern, Lagossians could have voted tinubu 90%, but with this puppet, it is a doom.
Secondly, maltreatment of igbos in Lagos. Count how many igbo markets was burned or displaced. Agberos will do their own, and many more
Many more, not meant for public forum

Atiku Abubakar can never be President of Nigeria, as long as the likes of Obasanjo, Buhari & Babaginda are alive, he has been rejected by the Military since the 1990’s, even Obasanjo a Military man, made sure nothing for Atiku even as his Vice, President Buhari will maintain the status quo.

Vadese1:
Truth be told. It's only Tinubu who can give Atiku a run for his money. The rest are just political light weight. If Tinubu get apc ticket, then this will be one of the keenly contested Presidential election in the history of Nigeria democracy. Nevertheless I believe Atiku will still carry the day because majority of the northern voters will vote base on religion and ethnic sentiment and not party base.

When APC eventually selects Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Federal Government machinery will come into play.

Which money, one week revenue from NNPC will finish Atiku & Tinubu’s money combined.

Landslide victory for APC, the same way no name Yaradua messed Atiku up in 2007, same scenario will play out again 2023.

APC is not ready to secede power & many of their members are not ready to go to prison, so by hook or by crook with military arrangement they must remain in power.

Pdp & Atiku have already drafted their petition to the Tribunal & Supreme Court.

IamANigerianMan:
It is a lie, Buhari contested how many times but the vote from north did not give him winning, Carry Osibanjo and El-Rufai, they will win.

They will win easily, Tinubu wants to be the destroyer, they are just watching him make a foolery of himself, selflessness stops one from seeing the bigger picture.

Originakalokalo:
These are two different cases.

1. Obasanjo is not a Pastor.

2. Obasanjo was the first shot at democracy...The dynamics has since changed.

Obasanjo is more than a pastor, he is an Oracle, three in one, imam, pastor & traditional worship combined, Pastor Osinbajo dey learn born again activities where Baba Iyabo dey.

When did VP Osinbajo know Christ?, General Obasanjo will tell you that he was already born again, during the civil war when he was shooting Biafrans upandan.

Originakalokalo:
This summation is a possibility as well.

However, we are talking about a free and fair election.

You must be living in Sweden or Norway? No honor amongst thieves, even that assertion was proven over the weekend, just go & talk with Nyesom Wike over a bottle of Hennessy, he will school you better.

IfnobeGod20:
Some of you will just make incoherent analysis. One thing is sure, the north will not trade any viable political post in favour of christain community there. They are more comfortable giving political position to their muslims than northern christains. This is one thing that will work against Tinubu. If he tries chosing northern christain as vice, that will cut his vote to half while the southern christains will revolt against such choice.
In a plural society like ours, where religion takes center stage, any party that joke with it, will have itself to blame.
Again, the north is not as gullible as you people may paint it. The north had voted southern christains three times to be president, and I am sure, they will do it again and again, so far it is a balanced choice and the people are competent.

You are on point, Osinbajo is who APC will give it to, Bola Ahmed Tinubu only made the process more interesting.

NigeriaAjoka:
None Will change anything in Nigeria, all are super criminals and I won’t vote party or tribe but competence cause Nigeria deserves the best! I will VOTE for PETER GREGORY OBI as president

Hypocrisy @ work, you will not vote tribe, but you will vote for your Igbo uncle Portable Peter Obi?

Originakalokalo:
How many northerners will vote for Peter Obi?

All they need to tell them in the mosque is that a Pastor is coming to rule Nigeria....then majority of the northern Muslims will not vote for Osibanjo.

For me, it is Peter Obi or Yemi Osibanjo.

Sad reality?

These two are going nowhere.

The 12 APC Governors in Northern Nigeria, will bury that rhetoric talk & deliver their states to APC by hook or by crook to President Osinbajo, after the elections pdp & Atiku can go & report to the Supreme Court about electoral fraud that occurred.

Hermoso33:
To say Tinubu is only popular in southwest is sentimental and biased. Peter Obi is popular in the southwest and some parts of the North. You said Tinubu will be stoned with pure water if he comes to the east which means they know him very well but hate him. We are talking of popularity. Let me burst ur brain. Many secondary schools students in the North Sothsouth and southeast will know the name of Lagos state governor for instance than other states outside their respective regions. Sentiment apart Tinubu is popular nationwide and not just Yoruba land alone. Just Like the way Atiku is popular nationwide.

They know Tinubu as a thief like James Ibori, or can he brag about anything he did that affected them personally?

drlateef:
Wailers don come again ooo. Lol.

Dr Lateef my sincere MURIC brother, wipe your tears, I know the truth is a very bitter pill to swallow, na Christian turn to be APC President of Nigeria.

koresh:
Tinubu is our next president, take this to any bank.

Highly Impossible, as impossible as Richard Hamilton winning the F1 series this year.

Elidrisy20:
You better start preparing for handing over to Atiku

You must be a Political Novice? you will weep after you witness Government Magic (Military Arrangement) on Abubakar Atiku.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
It’s greediness on the part of the south west also. Obasanjo was President for 8 years. Osinbajo is almost rounding up as VP too. The west should have supported the east. Like they did to Obasanjo.

Easterners that are less than 5% political influence today? The Great Nnamdi Azikiwe will be ashamed of his people, how the mighty have fallen.

Small South South has taken the place of South East, big big shame.

Mandate2023:
All sort of jagons comments from children of d second citizens of Nigeria una cry dey sweet me, tinubu will be president and there's nothing ur parents can do about it

I honestly doubt it, there are @ least no less than 3 Governors in that meeting with The President running against Jagaban?

DeleTaller:
This is not London politics... Because someone like Saraki odale insisted that Bubu can't be Muslim and Tinubu also Muslim...
So Osinbajo was recommended... now Tinubu is still alive to fulfil his ambition and he can choose to pick Northern Christian or Muslim.

Abiola and his running mate were both Muslims.. and we voted them from the West...North and Central expect the East that didn't vote and yet they won the election...

Abiola & Kingibe ran on a Muslim Muslim ticket under SDP & won, why did the Military cancel the election?

You have to understand your Country, Nigeria is Christian South, Muslim North, the Military told SDP Muslim Muslim ticket is not acceptable in Nigeria, una be mumus.

Even under the Military it is same, Gowon/Awolowo, Murtala/Obasanjo, Obasanjo/Yaradua, President Buhari broke the code, with Idiagbon, he was removed in 18 months, Babaginda/Ubutu Ukiwe & Augustus Aikhomu, Abacha/Diya, Abdulsalami Abubakar/Mike_Akhigbe.

One Muslim, One Christian is how we operate in Nigeria, even in the Civil Service, na Fela Kuti code us the system of operandai.

drlateef:
True party man is the coded word for Tinubu. No other party man can be truer than Tinubu.

True party man for his personal selfish ambition to become President of Nigeria?

Was Buhari or Obasanjo party men?

No different than telling lies to a babe just to yansh her, but you don’t really love her, True party man indeed.

DeleTaller:
You just helped us ....we the jagaban followers are clapping for ur interpretation...that is exactly what Bubu meant... Tinubu is more party man than all of them

Party man like Boris Johnson? Why didn’t the APC send Bola Tinubu to be Buhari’s running mate in 2014?

What has changed between 2014 & now?

Hermoso33:
To be objective who is the true party man among the aspirants?? Nairalanders answer this question without bias

Osinbajo, not that selfish old man, that exclaims you must make me President because I was the one that gave you position?

What kind of animal is that?

donjazet:
Nigerians need to vote out both parties. We need someone new.

PLEASE GO AND GET YOUR PVC's. Time is running out. We must take our country back from these corrupt entities.

Peter Obi that ran away from Apga to Pdp (Abubakar Atiku’s running mate) in 2019, & now Labor party 2022 is someone new?

MrUchenna1:
If don't have a voters card, Please keep your comments to your self

Even if you possessed 19 voters card, what difference will it make in the general election?

By Ifedayo Peters

With the dramatic emergence of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, as the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) flag bearer for the 2023 presidential elections, all eyes are now on the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, as they shop for a worthy candidate on the 6th of June.

Atiku’s win did not come as a surprise to those with even a surface understanding of Nigerian politics, which evidently has a thing for regurgitating the same set of worn-out leaders. Asides being the most influential of the lot, Atiku Abubakar, who has been a prominent player in our political clime as far back as 1996 is unarguably the most experienced amongst the contenders in the PDP. The fact that he served as Vice President for eight years under the Olusegun Obasanjo administration, and has contested the Nigerian presidency three times under the same umbrella of the PDP supports this position. When one contrasts his political resume with that of his counterparts, one can safely say that the PDP has gone with their most formidable option. Let’s not talk about his spending power.

The APC, on the other hand, seems to be caught in a conundrum. With over twenty aspirants contesting the primaries of a party striving to consolidate its hold on power, some observers believe that the ruling party is at its last gasp. To others, the emergence of Atiku in what is seen by many as a blatant disregard for zoning by the PDP, is a negotiation of our national unity and should make the job easier for the APC, who only has to present a Christian Southerner and sweep Christian and Southern votes come 2023. Is it that simple though? Ordinarily it should be, but the “Lion of Bourdillon” is in the way.


Of the twenty-three presidential aspirants of the APC, there are three front-runners — the self-professed national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the immediate past Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi. Further narrowing down, VP Osinbajo and Rotimi Amaechi fall within the Christian Southerner stratum inevitably ostracising Asiwaju, a Southern Muslim, who, given Nigeria’s current reality cannot run with another Muslim candidate. And a thorough assessment of the APC’s political makeup does not avail any strong Northern Christian running mate, Mr. Tinubu’s only logical option.
If the APC leadership were by any chance considering the septuagenarian for the ticket, Atiku Abubakar’s weekend win has them cornered.

As it stands, the odds seem to favour the Vice President Osinbajo, as Rotimi Amaechi has also experienced a bump in the road this past week after a Supreme Court ruling on Friday dismissed his appeal against a N96b fraud probe, ordering him to face trial.

With no moral, ethical or legal baggage in his way, his daunting credentials and having served as Vice President for seven years, there is no doubt that Osinbajo possesses the experience and political clout required to bring this home for the APC. A strong Northern Muslim as running mate, the likes of the graceful Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, or the intelligent Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna, little effort is needed to take on Atiku and the PDP and thus, dash their hopes of securing the majority of Northern votes. Atiku also stands a very little chance with southern Nigerians, who believe that on no account should another Northerner be elected after being led by one for eight full years.

For the APC, the Osinbajo choice seems to be the only permutation that works the magic at this crucial moment. There is no time for handholding and money politics, the APC can either get this right or watch from the sidelines for the next four to eight years.

Excellent political logic.

Wow soo much support for Yemi Osinbajo?

SaintLucia:
