How will the North wait for him in 2027 elections? When the South is supposed to use 8 years? Which means if the North wants to come back in 2027 they will use just one term instead of two. And believe me they won't want that. And they know that BAT is very stubborn. The worst they can do is what Ndume has been doing in the upper chamber . They will just sit and be watching him all through his 8 years so that they can have their own 8 years in peace.

If Jonathan was able to lose re-election to a northern candidate thanks to tinubu, then anybody can.

It's just a matter of forming the right opposition.

That is exactly what tinubu would have said, if this was a Jonathan or pdp policy

Atiku is playing the game right.

Oshin56:
He will have His way, MuMu ticket still they there

An atiku/obi ticket will rubbish that.

The north are just looking for a viable alternative that they can trust, and they will dump tinubu.

membranus:
The Igbos are known for that, not the Yorubas. They started it with Buhari and his tribesmen, but the Hausa- Fulanis are gentle souls, they let it pass. They tried it now with we Yorubas, but we are showing you people that we are not gonna accept that. It is fire for fire. We will see who will eventually surrender.

Keep up the energy.

Oshin56:
forget about it the bill will scale through the house all those noise will stop nothing

To be fair, that's what I expect.

Presidents especially in Nigeria, know how to have their way.

It will definitely scale through if tinubu wants it to.

The north will wait for him in 2027 elections.

membranus:
We Yorubas know how to subtly get our ways. It is not always by gragra. Keep on watching the Tinubu drama, it will shock you in the end.

Yes, by insulting everybody.

DomPerignon:
It's only SE legislators and their governors that are joining the north to kill this bill because just like the north, the SE is a basket case that depends on resources from other Southern states.

Keep insulting the SE, you hear.

God will punish you, if you later talk of southern unity for your hopeless tinubu.

I am glad that Everybody already knows where they stand.

Nobody is going to expect support from where he/she did not keep it.

If your tinubu can outmaneuver everybody and win, then good luck to him.

2027 elections is going to be interesting.

BreconHills:
They are selling their stake and not for chimp change either. Liquid capital is an essential part of the free market. Staff will still be employed and vendors and distributors paid.

smh

odejimioflagos:
This is a non story. Holcim is selling stake in Nigeria and not leaving Nigeria.

They will still be in Nigeria through the new owners.

You are a clown Sha.

Some people are selling their stake and you say they are still around?

Dem suppose plank una head for deliberately misleading naive people just because of ethnic loyalties.

COMPAQ:
Which wealth? Nigeria federal budget is $23bln. Add states and local government, it's $35bln.

Texas budget is $200nln.
America defence budget is $900bln

Which Nigeria is wealthy!?

Of our population were 15mln, then maybe we could be called wealthy. Not with 230mln people to cater for.

Now add a highly corrupt and wasteful president like Tinubu to manage the scarce resources, and you get what?

madridguy:
Same region your people are dying to come.... SW will remain your dream place to live 1000 years to come.
Your children want to come to SW for school.
Your elders want to come to SW for medical attention.
Your graduate want to do their NYSC in SW.
Your ladies want to marry from SW to avoid drinking corpse water should be incase of death.

Just vomiting crap from your mouth.
Is that what they told you when YOU WENT TO TOAST them?

Because the last time I checked, it's men that approach women, and not the one way round.

It's you that want to marry their Women.

You hateful clown.

Tinubu seems to be in a good terms with Macron.

He could practically ask them for anything right now.

Why can't he ask to buy a squadron of French Rafale jets?

Atiku and Obi should run under a single ticket, preferably with atiku as the president for political reasons.

It would be replay of 2015 elections when buhari ran with osibanjo.

Obi's time will come.

But for now, we need to test tinubu's popularity and political sagacity against the strongest opposition ticket in 2027.

kedeojo:
So Atiku is not corrupt again and it's no longer among the structure of criminality Obi promised to dismantle. Hypocrites.

If tinubu can be president and heaven did not fall, then anybody can.

Krankhead:
You people are so Gullible.
Obi will never be president

You and your father cannot decide who becomes our president.

This is the only ticket with a realistic chance of defeating tinubu.

sparko1:
You have no idea what politics is, you think politics is playing fair, everywhere in the world politics is more deadly than war.

Only in third world countries like Nigeria.

.

iamtoofan:
In a country where big companies are folding up, even multi national are existing or downsizing, NBS chose these period to announce unemployment as reduced ... how do you even reconcile that with logic or optimistism.

We know Tinubu to be oluwole pioneer, if he cant get a result he will forge it

Tinubu's men are scanning for any sign of good news like a surgeon scans for rhythm on a comatose patient.
Any little positive news is going to be hyped to the max.

They don't care if it's just a fluke or unsustainable.

They will milk it to the limit.

Tinubu men go use propaganda finish everybody.

Unrivalled propaganda from his army of spokesmen and hypemen.

.

.

Factcheck0001:
u that believe obi is an angel n others are thieves

How can u b fair in your judgement?

If you can bring out verifiable proof of obi's corruption, then jail him along with the others.

The APC has the efcc and icpc to do that.

The problem is that even the APC cannot accuse him of corruption.

The only people calling him a thief are on nairaland.

seguntijan:
This is DEREGULATION.....
Now marketing and adverts heralds an industry that Oligarchs and cabals STRANGULATED for 49 years!
Dangote Refinery sets the pace...
Others follows....

Thank you PBAT, sincerely speaking the reform is tough and harsh but I know the long term effect is for the good of the country. Hopefully we can get more refineries on board and also apply same energy on our electricity.

E no go better for you for this nonsense wey you write.

Tinubu that came into office in 2023.

If It is fake, then congratulating them will not change anything.

He has done his own as a patriotic Nigerian.

The truth will reveal itself.

SmartPolician:
Instead of power returning to the north, Tinubu should just continue. It's insane for a Northerner to think they'll return to power 4 years after Buhari incompetently ruined Nigeria's economy.

But tinubu was not so generous when he allowed a northerner usurp Jonathan for his own selfish interests.

He didn't care about Southern interests then, so why should anybody care about his?

He's not even as competent as Jonathan.

Flangelo12:
Once Wike leaves, PDP would be like ZLP.

Actually, the reverse is the case.
Wike's presence there is why it's like ZLP.

He's actively destroying the party from within.

If the pdp expels him, they can finally count their loses and recover.

WeddingParol:
Arise tv is a comedy skit

It's the most credible station in Nigeria today, which is why their ratings are so high.

The rest are either APC mouthpieces or owned by a pdp stalwart.

casualobserver:
Actually it was the north that made Tinu I president just as it was the SW that made Buhari president. Tell me who are Obi’s Allie’s outside the SE?

Keep arguing like you did in 2023. The next slot for the SE is 2039. Start the process now of grooming someone who can appeal to voters outside the SE. it’s not about who you want it’s about who the voters can accept. Fundamental rule of politics that some of our English speaking political
Analysts dont seem to understand . You field someone who can win. Obi cannot win,

No major party will give him the ticket because they know he is unelectable….that is the point!!!!

Atiku won most of the north.

Tinubu won most of the SW.

The only difference between them is that tinubu performed well in the north as well.

And he couldn't have done that if he was running under a party like Labour or ACN.

AllenSpencer:
Kwankwanso and Kalu will not have an impact?

Seems you forgot Nigerian politics is all about money and power. With the number of states PDP is controlling, coupled with the influences of their big guns, it will only split votes in favour of APC.

Kwankwaso have been proven to be a paper tiger.

Giving him a pdp ticket would just be a waste of opportunity.

Kalu would probably do better, but he would lose woefully in the SE where he comes from.

He does not have credibility.

Even tinubu had some level of credibility(Lagos factor) however misguided, which helped him win votes.

casualobserver:
He was never close, his votes just like Awolowo were 90% from his tribes men. How many states did he have 25%. add APC Rivers votes to Obi, and subtract from Tinubu he still comes 3rd.

And the vast majority of tinub's votes came from his own people, just like buhari as well.

Infact buhari's electoral strength came from the fact that his own people would always vote for him.

So why should that be a disadvantage to obi?

A would-be president has to win his own people, first.

Are you aware that Obi won most of the military installations in Nigeria?
Those are places where votes are the most credible.

He won lagos and Abuja with a landslide. Those are the two most diverse states in Nigeria.

The places he did not win were core north states and SW states who had their own candidates in the game.

If obi was running with a major party, he would have been able to Garner serious votes even in places he did not win just like APC did for tinubu and pdp did for atiku.
