They said by-elections and even State elections don't matter ,their target is Aso Rock.

Amotolongbo:
I remember this quote I heard from someone, “whenever the rich men are ready to cash out, they sell shares to the public” 🤔

Then this quote must be peculiar to Nigerian big men, because in a normal corporate setting, especially in publicly listed companies, ownership determines control. If a company like the Dangote Refinery were to open up its shares widely to the public, and no single individual retained majority control, then technically a shareholder or a coordinated group of shareholders could acquire enough shares (over 50% or at least a controlling stake) to influence or even take over the company’s management and board decisions.
However, in reality,that may not be possible especially in environments like Nigeria, because major conglomerates are often structured in a way that preserves founder control.

So it is now that Deji is realising what we already knew since last year.

PDP got those votes because of wike

Na lie! Wike worked for APC, infact he told all PDP candidates to step down for their APC opponents...don't come and try tell me what I know better than you

If anyone here has Dr. Bukola Saraki’s contact, please call him and advise him not to leave the PDP. The party cannot die, at least judging by its performance in the FCT LG polls. He should stay in close touch with grassroots politicians in Abuja who workedto get these incredibleresults, and the PDP will become stronger again.

AMINDA:
Sigh! Boring. Come back and compare notes after the 2027 presidential elections. APC are already beginning to kill themselves in Delta and these are just early days. Time is a gentleman.

Leave Delta State, theyre politicians, they will definitely take care of themselves. Worse than that happened in Ondo State in 2020, where 2 State Excos emerged, the NEC of the party waded in and harmonised the list and the party became stronger 💪 thereafter. Have you heard another party winning any election in Ondo State since 2019?
And talking about the outcome of 2027, may God keep alive. I went through your profile and realised that it is not a crayfish account, please don't take it down, after the results of the election are announced, so that we can compare whichever note we may need to compare.

AMINDA:
Lol. Both NNPP and ADC were not on the ballot so APC technically ran unopposed. Off-cycle elections are nothing to celebrate though but go on.

I love and enjoy this your delusion that by-election victories don’t matter, even though the winners enjoy all the privileges of the offices they were elected to occupy, while the losers groan in defeat and are often left in financial ruin, especially when they are not Atiku, who has amassed enough wealth to spend lavishly during every election cycle.

I thought Kano booed President Tinubu and his APC entourage the last time they were in Kano? So what happened to the bamaiyi shouting? AMINDA, come here, please you have questions to answer.

It will take serious political maneuvering for ADC to survive the aftermath of the FCT LG polls. I watched a few X (Twitter) Space discussions about the party, and the divisions between Obi supporters and those backing Atiku appear too wide. I doubt those groups can effectively work together. Obi supporters were openly insulting members of other groups and calling them names.
Beyond the online exchanges, this reflects a deeper ideological and strategic disconnect within the coalition. A political alliance built solely on opposition sentiment, aimed at removing Tinubu at all cost, without even knowing the actual cost or without a clearly negotiated power-sharing formula and unified policy direction, is bound to fail. If the leadership fails to urgently reconcile these factions and present a coherent front, the cracks exposed at that thrir X Space will widen ahead of bigger electoral contests.

Overall, which candidate wins the LG; APC or ADC?

AMINDA:
Yes. Tinubu got over 1m votes in Kaduna and Kano states alone. If he loses Northern votes, where does he intend to make up for the numbers? In the FCT? Well, time is a gentleman.

I can tell you that, given the current political atmosphere and prevailing mood, Asiwaju will have more votes in the 2027 election than he had in 2023.

AMINDA:
Fake news. Collation still ongoing.

As it stands, things are not looking good for the ADC. I think you should calm down and come up with whatever excuse you plan to give for the party’s imminent failure. You are free to blame Tinubu or claim that the local government elections are insignificant. Perhaps the Northerners that will deal with Tinubu and APC only live in Kaduna State and Kano metropolis.

Obi Cucumber and Cucumber Chief Priest aka Belle na tanker, should take their city boy rubbish to Lagos, Oyo and Osun.

Clap for yourself, because this is well documented and when you receive the Lagos version, you must not come online and cry or blame[i] yoruba ronu[/i]. Definitely, any non-compliance in Lagos will see wetin no good.

This madness and tears will continue till 2031 and beyond. If I were Igbos, I'll join APC now, work for the party, then hope for the best in 2031, Vice President to Ribadu presidency fit sure

FCMB is not on that list and I just opened a business account with then

This one wants to make the mistake of her life.... leave the marriage for who?

livinbygrace:
Its either you are still an infant or you dont know anything about politics
For your information 2027 is a walk over for Jagaban and God willing ,he is likely to hand over to Ribadu in 2031

Do you have comprehension issue? You obviously didn't understand my point. Go back, read it and edit your comments. Don’t be silly next time.

erniok:
Is this how he wants to put up a fight. Be a deep thinker pal as this his false allegation is too weighty even for him. I sincerely hope PBAT is not another GEJ on this.

Bro, this is Nigerian politics, where every “strong” politician has one skeleton or another hidden in the cupboard. If the President pushes too far, ElRufai may decide to spill the beans and everything will scatter.

AMINDA:
It was premeditated and pre-planned. Elrufai was saying it long before he handed over as governor that he would be taking a break and heading to Cairo to get a PhD. Tinubu deliberately lured him on stage to jettison his plans and then proceeded to betray him. They thought if they put an obscure "security report" tag on his head, he will be neutralized and will no longer fight back. They were wrong. It was the ultimate betrayal. Tinubu behaved like the father who involved himself in a fight between two sons and picked a side.

Those were the dangerous intrigues of politics, and it becomes even more troubling when you realize how close El Rufai and Nuhu Ribadu once were. Even if the President had an axe to grind with El Rufai, Ribadu should not have been the proxy through whom it was executed. Like I posted, it is politics and nothing divides brothers like the quest for influence, money and power.

AMINDA:
You're beginning to get it. Tinubu should have behaved like an elder statesman and not picked a side by allowing his appointees to use their office to begin to play politics from day one for their own ambitions. What was Ribadu and Gbajabiamila's contributions to Tinubu's victory in 2023? They sought to destroy Elrufai and think he wouldn't fight back in whatever way he chooses? In 2015 when the APC was being formed, Ribadu defected to PDP contested the gubernatorial elections and lost. In 2019, he defected back to APC, contested the gubernatorial primaries and was defeated by Binani by a landslide. He now thinks he's a political collusus because "daddy" is behind him.

Asiwaju erred on that matter, seriously and it was quite unusual of him to fight an ally. However, I cannot speak confidenyly on what I do not fully understand, because I may never know the whole truth..

[quote author=AMINDA post=138492178]Tinubu should bother about 2027 first. As for 2031, before or beyond, the North will take care of itself and choose their own leaders.

This is the turnout at the grand reception of Abba Kabir in Kano today. I hope Agbadorians are getting the message?

Despite teaming up with all Kano APC heavyweights, see the crowd Gov. Abba pulled at his official reception into APC 🤣

2027, it is in the bag already. You rather start early preparation for 2031.
Lolss, the North will choose their Leader the way they chose Buhari against Obasanjo in 2003 or Atiku against Jonathan in 2011. And what were the outcomes?
Stop overating politicians, money and the struggle for power have polarised Northern Politicians.

I don’t agree with Akinsuyi on this. How can you beat a child and then try to stop him from crying?
That is exactly what Nuhu Ribadu is doing to El-Rufai. You and Gbajabiamila allegedly worked to stop his confirmation as a minister because you didn’t want him to have the influence and financial war chest to contest against you in 2031. Now you want to prevent him from putting up a fight? Who does that? Are you his God?

Eyes have never seen the kind of fight that will erupt among Northern Politicians who all will be jostling to succeed President Tinubu in 2031. From Nuhu Ribadu to Nasir El Rufai, to Kashim Shettima, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Mohammed Umar Bago, Uba Sani and many others, the fight will sweet to watch from afar. They will terrorism to cancel one another.

I passed through the venue of the protest enroue to my office. Some of the mobilisers are hustlers, I saw 2 ladies fighting a guy that he smuggled names into the list of protesters. I stopped to asked the reason for the list, they told me that's the list of protesters and each of them will be paid 10k at the end of the day. They were mobilised from Mararaba, Nyanya and Wuse Market.

Anything that has to do with the Nigerian Police pray you don’t enter into it. My cousin who is a policeman lied against his elder brother and ensured he was jailed over disputed matter. He's active on the family's WhatsApp group.

Nigeria our Politicians don't rate us one bit.

Lagos is a jungle, their Ministry of Justice miscarred Federal Appeal Court judgements. Imagine they just empowered miscreants in black and white uniforms to harass motorists. Thank God I live in Abuja, where is respect forvhuman dignity. I still did VIO "ntoor" this this morning on the Airport Road. They no born them well to stop me, when they know that I know what the law says.

I can't help but laugh at the folly of the OP, everything about them is chest beating and lies. I heard the colourless "village boy movement " for the first time today. Politics is not an emotional game.
