Joezinho: God Bless Yoruba People.. God Bless Yoruba Land...
Yoruba people are the real elite of this nation. They are liberal, educated to the core & social.
Olori Pelebes that are bunch of unserious, unrelenting clowns betraying the Nigerian state for more than half a century would surely avoid this thread or come here to spew trash as usual but they are the architect of their own troubles in Nigeria and not the Yorubas. Yorubas never asked them to live in two countries at once...
Yoruba never asked them to relocate to Lagos.. I wish they have balls to leave back home to develop the yeast... We can't trust them
The 11 northern Progressive governors' decision to zone the All Progressive Congress' presidential ticket to the South ahead of the party's primary scheduled for the 6th and 8th of this month has been roundly rejected by the northern youths.
Following a statement of resolution released by the governors on Saturday, after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, northern youths said in a press conference that the governors should be completely ignored because their resolution is completely unacceptable.
The youths said in a video address to the press obtained by The Trumpet that the 11 governors' decision to shift power to the south after only two terms of President Buhari spent by the region is an act of selfishness and selfish interest. It went on to say that the south has been in power for 12 years, including the administrations of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, and that a northern candidate should be allowed to fly the APC flag in 2023.
The Northern Youth Alliance, or AREWA, has also stated emphatically that the 11 governors' statement will be a costly mistake for the APC, adding that it is not in the best interests of the country, but of the 11 self-centered individuals who wrote to the president.
The statement by Northern States APC Governors and Political Leaders read, "APC governors and political leaders from the northern states of Nigeria today met to review the political situation and to further support our Party in providing progressive leadership amidst our national challenges. During our discussions, we welcomed President Muhammadu Buhari's invitation to governors and other stakeholders to contribute to the emergence of a strong presidential candidate for the APC.
"After careful deliberation, we wish to state our firm conviction that after eight years in office of President Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the APC for the 2023 elections should be one of our teeming members from the southern states of Nigeria. It is a question of honour for the APC, an obligation that is not in anyway affected by the decisions taken by another political party. We affirm that upholding this principle is in the interest of building a stronger, more united and more progressive country.
"We therefore wish to strongly recommend to President Muhammadu Buhari that the search for a successor as the APC's presidential candidate be limited to our compatriots from the southern states. We appeal to all aspirants from the northern states to withdraw in the national interest and allow only the aspirants from the south to proceed to the primaries. We are delighted by the decision of our esteemed colleague. His Excellency, Governor Abubakar Badaru to contribute to this patriotic quest by withdrawing his presidential aspiration.
"The APC has a duty to ensure that the 2023 elections offer a nation-building moment, reaffirming that a democratic pathway to power exists for all who value cooperation and build national platforms. This moment calls for the most sober and inclusive approach to selecting our party's candidate, and we call on all APC leaders to fulfil their responsibility in this regard."
The resolution signed by governor Aminu Bello Masari, Katsina State; Abubakar Sani Bello, Niger State; Abdullahi A. Sule, Nasarawa State, Prof. B.G. Umara Zulum, Borno State; Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, Kaduna State; Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, Gombe State; Bello M. Matawalle, Zamfara State; Simon Bako Lalong Plateau State; Senator Aliyu Wamakko, former governor Sokoto State; Dr. A.U. Ganduje, Kano State; and Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu Governor of Kebbi State was completely condemned by the northern youths.
The youth also declared their disdain for the governors, warning the ruling party not to take the risk of succumbing to the "self-centered" governors' appeal.
Meanwhile, Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity) has said that the outcome of the meeting between the president and aspirants on Saturday night was for the presidential aspirants to go and consult, build consensus, and come up with a formidable candidate.
Adesina said that was the president's address to the aspirants, clearing the air on rumors circulating that the president has backed a southern candidate.
meruwa arewa.. see as dem be self... selfish maaalu . I swear these set of people no fit think on their own. Anything wey one aboki with agbada tell dem is what they do... Awon osinwin eniyan...alimajiri smellows
Lanretoye: only if your brothers can come up with reasonable campaign oriented models like this for obi,he stands some chances...instead of spending all their energy on tinubu when they are not even a member of APC.they are only making tinubu more popular.
Esseite: Peter Obi is cruising to victory... he just needs to keep up with harnessing that youth population, that angered population, that population that wants a difference.. 80% of new voters is for a new change, just as it were in 2015 for Buhari..
The projections are in Nigerians favour and can only get better... Nigeria would be great again, and this time, we would be the means...
Tinubu (same applies to Osinbajo) - 55% of SW, - 20% of NC, - 30% of NW, - 10% of SS, - 5% of SE, - 20% of NE,
Atiku: - 10% of SW, - 50% of NC, - 50% of NW, - 10% of SS, - 5% of SE, - 60% of NE,
Peter Obi: - 35% of SW, - 30% of NC, - 20% of NW, - 80% of SS, - 90% of SE, - 20% of NE,
Oplomo: Yorubas have over the years insulted the South East whenever they complain about marginalization. Their mantra against the southeast is "Shut your crying mouths....Power is not given but taken"
I wonder why they are now crying that power should be given to them? Why is tinubu and his minions crying foul?
Yoruba seem to enjoy and support injustice when others are at the receiving but cry foul when the same is about to be meted out to them?
you can only get power and not be given...who is that powerful man that will be willing to drop his authority? only a fool will believe Buhari decision come easily without effort of demanding...
Tinubu is a strong man.... he shake the table all the way from Abeokuta and Buhari run come back from Spain to narrow things to South... apart from Tinubu tell me who else get the balls to hit at Buhari?
stokfrick: Shebi b.cos we are speaking the truth u don't want to hear we r now no nonentities? Don't worry u will eat your words very soon.
the only truth you should speak is to ask Kalu why he stepped down.. we don't need you to conterminate yoruba chances pls...just shift to the wall. the worse that u think to happen is for Osinbajo to defeat Tinubu in the primaries which is still a welcome success for Tinubu himself. so shift go ask your leaders why they are cowards?
Elvis2kay: Buhari plan is to nominate unpopular southern candidate against Atiku. then Atiku will surely win. power return back to the North
shut up Elvis... all of you igbo wey hate Tinubu don fail... all your permutations have become rubbish. now u are out of ideas and confused... u shall all eat back all your vomits on Tinubu.. I really pity Kalu.... cowards igbo leader
alfarouq: What do you guys really want for God's sake. If he backs a northerner, you guys will accuse the north of not respecting the zoning arrangement in APC, now the Northern governors and Buhari agree to zone it to the south. You are still wailing.
don't disturb urself over this guy and his likes... they are just everywhere on the Internet to contribute nonsense... Nairaland allows lots of nonentity to have their voices here... there is nothing they don't turn upside down... as at yesterday they were all jubilating over Lawan..but today now when Buhari talk they said he is trying to favor Atiku again...
Tinubu is a strong man.... he shake the table all the way from Abeokuta and Buhari run come back from Spain to narrow things to South... apart from Tinubu tell me who else get the balls to hit at Buhari?
Yoruba cannot do 8yrs as President, 8yrs as Vice President and still looking for another 8yrs...
Na only una get Nigeria?
Stop sounding like a foolish cowards.... who is stopping the igbo not to be in the race? Why are they afraid they can't win the primaries? Why ur igbo fathers and leaders stepping down? So they should be using the ticket to beg them? You better stop it already. Imagine Kalu stepping down for fat lawal and now umahi stepping down for same fat Lawal are u not suppose to be cursing your leaders? Here u are hating Yoruba for nothing.
christistruth01: Aregbesola is very ungrateful if he said that and I doubt if he said it
His Father is not even a Yoruba man yet he ruled Osun State as Governor twice with Tinubu’s help on the basis of his mother being Ijesha
aregbesola’s Father is egbirra from Kogi State
Ogbeni is a serial betrayal like Obaseki to Wike... Tinubu practically paid for court processes that got aregbe his mandate... he even went on tv to testify that if not for God and Tinubu he would not have been what he is... now today is saying rubbish... last primary election in osun was a disgrace for Aregbesola.... also in his lagos base he collect it wotowoto...... he now politically useless...
because u curse somebody does not mean it will be so.. God is not stupid.. he sees our heart and give rewards to our efforts...
if Tinubu has done bad to you Aregbesola let him gain his reward.. but if Tinubu has done good to you.. let him receive his pure rewards too.. .. Jesus Christ was humiliated but in the end he becomes our Lord and saviour.
sogodihno: Anybody outside Yemi Osibanjo or Tinubu, then we bury APC.
No 5% manerless pigs should quote me
if you mention Fayemi in Nigeria.... especially among the Yorubas...you will think is one kind of babalawo.... just as Osinbajo and Lawan sound to be popcorn or ice cream and tomato sellers.
nonsense gap tooth... Fayemi wouldn't have won election without apc federal power... awon alaimoore.... is he as popular as Fayose ? Someone that is supposed to be a local government chairman... after using Tinubu to complete both his first term and second... now he thinks he has arrived.. I could remember when he was disgraced as a sitting governor by Obanikoro... and Tinubu escaped being killed in Ekiti that year cos of Fayemi... now all of them have forgotten... we shall see what becomes their ambition if Tinubu is illegally disqualified...
Nobleman80: Mention shetima in ideato they will think he is the dead bokoharam leader
Shetima is not contesting for any political office so we don't need his popularity off north for now... we Re talking about the Porpcorn and ice cream seller... today we are trying to digest the tomato seller name... are both sellers as popular as Tinubu? NO. you can hate all you like... what we know is that Tinubu is a moving train. 48hours to go.
