Most northern elite and leaders are with Tinubu

Brazil’s former leftist president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has sealed an astonishing political comeback, beating the far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in one of the most significant and bruising elections in the country’s history.

With 99% of votes counted, Silva, a former factory worker who became Brazil’s first working-class president exactly 20 years ago, had secured 50.8% of the vote. Bolsonaro, a firebrand who was elected in 2018, received 49.1%.

A few streets away on Paulista Avenue, one of the city’s main arteries, ecstatic Lula supporters gathered to celebrate his victory and the downfall of a radical rightwing president whose presidency produced an environmental tragedy and saw nearly 700,000 Brazilians die of Covid.

“Our dream is coming true. We need to be free,” beamed Joe Kallif, a 62-year-old social activist who was among the elated throng. “Brazil was in a very dangerous place and now we are getting back our freedom. The last four years have been horrible.”

Gabrielly Soares, a 19-year-old student, jumped in joy as she commemorated the imminent victory of a leader whose social policies helped her achieve a university education.

“I feel so happy … During four years of Bolsonaro I saw my family slip backwards and under Lula they flourished,” she said, a rainbow banner draped over her shoulders.


Ecstatic and tearful supporters of Lula – who secured more than 59m votes to Bolsonaro’s 57m – hugged and threw cans of beer in the air.

“This means we are going to have someone in power who cares about those at the bottom. Right now we have a person who doesn’t care about the majority, about us, about LGBT people,” Soares said. “Bolsonaro … is a bad person. He doesn’t show a drop of empathy or solidarity for others. There is no way he can continue as president.”

There was celebration around the region too as leftist allies tweeted their congratulations. “Viva Lula,” said Colombia’s leader, Gustavo Petro.

less than 34% of Nigerians have access to social media. On that note, the major electorate doesn't know what social media is

Moreso, everyone knows your Obi is a known Twitter man and his supporters. Whereas, majority of them don't have PVC. This is a known fact

Only poor igbos are clamouring for divisions. The rich ones amongst them can't dare it

South East is a landlocked region and underdeveloped.

No sane person will wish his/her life to look like south east especially Abia state whose kindred has sold their Destiny for a litre of kerosene and #500 for postnatal care

Landlocked countries like chad, niger, Burkina Faso et al are all poor and underdeveloped just like south east

Hunger will kill most of Ndi igbo if western governments chose to send them back to their region

Go and read your bible or quoran. You'd see where it was stated clearly any state surrounded with water is blessed

People are running to US, UK, Canada, Australia et al being that it's better than Nigeria

Ndi igbo troops to south west simply because it's mile ahead their region in all strata

What does a landlocked region have to survive with biko?

LeoDeKing:
Okay, lemme seize this opportunity to narrate my experience with Obinna, a spare parts dealer.

I was passing by and I just saw some posters of Tinubu in his shop, then stopped by to ask him some questions.

I asked if he knew that the poster was suggesting he supported Tinubu. Obinna said, before nko, who he want support? He said he was in Anambra when Peter obi was the governor. But now he has relocated to Lagos which Tinubu governed for the same 8 years like Peter Obi in Anambra.

Obinna now asked, how will he vote Peter Obi so Nigeria will now be like Anambra when Tinubu that was Lagos state governor is contesting. Tufiakwa.

You can now come up with another tale by moonlight.

Galadima during an interview on Channels TV on Thursday said some unpatriotic elements in the ruling APC are putting pressure on the INEC chairman not to use the bimodal voter registration system (BVAS) for result transmission.

A former member of the All Progressives Congress' Board of Trustees, Buba Galadima has accused some chieftains of the APC of putting pressure on the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu to tamper with the Electoral Law.




Galadima during an interview on Channels TV on Thursday said some unpatriotic elements in the ruling APC are putting pressure on the INEC chairman not to use the bimodal voter registration system (BVAS) for result transmission.



He was the National Secretary of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), which was formed in the run-up to the 2011 general elections as a platform for former military ruler and incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari.




Galadima and Buhari later fell out.



He said, “INEC chairman is under extensive pressure to tamper with the Electoral Act because the ruling party wanted to table an issue before the National Assembly such that they will force the chairman to write to National Assembly that it should not be compelling INEC to use the BVAS machine and this is the greatest disservice and an unpatriotic thing some elements in the ruling party are trying to put forward.



“They want to amend the Electoral Act, therefore, I want the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to take note of some bad elements that want to smear his image when he leaves office.



“Listen to Senator Kabiru Gaya, the Chairman of Senate Committee on INEC who recently was on national television telling the world that INEC must be given an alternative either to use or not to use the BVAS because, in his own constituency of Daya which is in the middle of Kano State, there’s no network to transmit results. He’s only preparing the ground for what they have designed as a party because they know this election, they have lost."





He said his party, the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) is deeply rooted and that its presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, remains the man to beat in the 2023 election.



He noted that despite being a new party, the NNPP has become a role model for other political parties.



“Let’s assume it’s only Kano, Kano has registered voters of over six million people and any candidate that has a base starting from six million votes is the candidate to beat. So why should you leave a candidate with a base and chase the one that’s floating in the air which has no political base?



“All of them… which of the candidates has any base apart from Kwankwaso?" he asked.



He said when the NNPP presidential campaign team went to Akwa Ibom, they pulled a crowd 10 times the crowd pulled during the Peoples Democratic Party's southeast zonal rally.



“We are a new party; that’s why we made an innovation for the last two months to visit states to open our offices. Now we have become a role model that the APC and PDP are doing the same but they are 23 years old, it’s because they copied from us," he said.



He also accused other political parties of buying permanent voter cards (PVCs) from the electorate to erode Kwankwaso’s base, adding that with the help of Kwankwasiyya guards stationed in all northwestern states, there have been arrests.



He said those arrested were handed over to the police.



“If we are not the party to beat, why should other political parties budget billions of naira to buy PVCs all over the country because they thought the Talakawas who follow Kwankwaso must be disenfranchised not by rhetorics or by the campaign but by buying their PVCs off. This is what is happening and security agencies are not doing their jobs," Galadima said.



Galadima also said there’s no plan for NNPP to merge with another party as Kwankwaso’s "majority cannot work with another party’s minority".



He said, “How can the majority work for the minority? All the other parties are minorities as far as NNPP is concerned.



“Kwankwaso is the man to beat in this election and all the candidates put together, all of them let them produce one candidate and let there be a free and fair election. As far as Nigerians will vote, Kwankwaso will be the president."



He expressed confidence that the NNPP will win in all northern states and win some of the southern states to emerge as the president of Nigeria.





Galadima added that the PDP is nonexistent in the South because of its internal crisis and the emergence of the Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi.





He said, “First, PDP is not even on the ballot because the strength of the PDP is in the South-East which has been eroded by Peter Obi,l. The strength of the PDP next is in the South-South with (Governor Nyesom) Wike never supporting Atiku, South-South is gone.

"And with Udom (Emmanuel) not picked as the vice-presidential candidate, I don’t think he can use his money to counter Wike’s influence in the South-East and Wike is not only strong in the South-East, Wike commands 14 states of Nigeria for PDP; all of them follow him. Five serving governors, nine gubernatorial candidates outside PDP-controlled states all belong to Wike. It is what Wike decides that will happen in the PDP.



“In the North-East, (it is) completely Kwankwaso because he will win Taraba, Adamawa, Gombe, Bauchi including governorship.



“He will win the North Central, he will win the West; both combined is over 50 million voters and he will poach the South-South, part of South-East and also part of South-West. I assure you that all Nigerians who desire freedom, development, progress, their children should go to school, health services have no other person to vote for except Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso

You just don't have sense bunch of illiterate. Is that presidential jet? Some of you are just stark of illiterate.

bn365:
You are watching too much CNN, BBC et al, they have to convince you that the whole world is headed in that direction, so it's futile to resist
The Covid era of lockdown measures was a window into what a top-down One world govt would be like. You'd have to force people to give into the tyranny. No govt has enough police and army to enforce it
The West is moving towards a central system of one world govt., but the rest of the world is not.
Check how many nations have declared interest in joining BRICS...Saudi Arabia, Turkey, etc
The rest of the world is refusing to go along with their delusion. The West is no longer influential. Their soft power is gone, so have to resort to coercion and propaganda
To suggest the whole world is willing to accept the values being imposed by the West is naive at best.

Why the prism? Crawl back to your grandmother's hut.

What's wrong with these saxifrage? If your proimbodi has been controlling Lagos, does he need to force himself on Nigerians.

You beg for the votes, you don't claim it's your turn.

Turn for what zimoxilata.


He started laughing and was asking how I came up with such high grammar.

You got to humble yourself because pride goes before the fall

And GOD exalt the humble but rebuke the proud.

What do you mean emilokan, for who, for what, where?

Be careful oooo

Vixlot:
Former Ondo Governor Olusegun Mimiko has rejected his appointment as leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council in the State.

He also said he won’t abandon his support for Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike on the call for equity within the party.

Mimiko was named Leader of the just constituted Ondo PDP Presidential Campaign Council billed for inauguration on Thursday.

But the former Governor, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media and Digital Communications, John Paul Akinduro, said he had been inundated with calls and messages from political associates on whether he has abandoned Wike and four other Governors demanding the resignation of PDP National Chairman Senator Iyorchia Ayu as a condition to back Atiku’s presidential aspiration.

The statement reads: “It must be stated with emphasis that Dr. Mimiko was neither consulted by anyone nor consented to his inclusion in any Ondo state PDP Presidential Campaign Council list.

“For the avoidance of doubt and to set the record straight, Dr Mimiko is unwavering in his commitment to the principle of equity, fairness and justice through which he believes a credible push for a PDP victory is possible.

“He fully subscribes to the agitation by his colleagues and other stakeholders in PDP and the generality of Nigerians that the PDP structure must reflect Nigeria’s diversities if it genuinely wants to unify a visibly divided country.”
