forayfleo: People surprised me here in Nairaland, A former Chairman of the largest LGA in Rivers, Chief of staff to Former Governor of Rivers, former Minister of Education Nigeria and currently the Governor in one of the richest state in Nigeria and someone is saying he is not qualify to be the President of Nigeria then who is qualify? Pls tell us.
LegendHero: It is not crap. Like you said, everyone have one benefactor that helped them at one time or another BUT it will be an act of treachery to fail to deny those who have helped us just because of politics.
Prof. Osinbajo himself is not the architect of this misinformation, it is been flaunted by enemies of Asiwaju/Osinbajo. I am just trying to set the record straight to neutrals who might be deceived by the fake rhetoric.
Lastly, Asiwaju started from the trenches, built his way up to where he currently is and pull nearly all of his comrades up to the top. Infact, most of his comrades have portfolio greater than what Asiwaju ever held and yet this man give his full support to them.
When it is now time for them to help him just this ONE time, some comrades showed a trace of ingrate. Normal in politics, coz power is a different kind of demon that corrupt even the most noble of men.
Bros, the government Tinubu midwifed have been terrible and you know it.
PassingShot: I read a NL thread https://www.nairaland.com/7077990/why-tinubu-lose-osinbajo-apc#up suggesting reasons why PYO will defeat BAT in the APC primary election to select who flies the ticket of the party in 2023 and I could not help but to laugh at the naivety and desperation of the writer. Well, without paying any attention to the weak and unfounded reasons he presented in his article, I make bold to advance the following arguments to conclude that Jagaban Borgu remains the only candidate who will win the primary contest, barring any last-minute jettisoning of primaries for consensus which is not even contained in the constitution of APC.
1. Tinubu’s political structure and machineries Even, his political foes will attest to the fact that BAT has built a well-oiled political structure that has not only survived the best of political warriors in OBJ and GEJ (with federal might), his structure has endured the worst of political earthquake and has remained very solid and functioning. In the primary contest for the presidential candidate which will be decided by delegates from APC across the 36 states, Tinubu structure will come in hand to deliver the goods.
2. BAT’s political alliance This is somewhat related to the first point but not entirely the same. In the course of single-handedly building and strengthening his political base (ACN), Tinubu it was who took ACN into alliance with CPC, ANPP, a faction of APGA and a faction of PDP. In fact, most political watchers agreed that the 2 most important figures in that successful alliance that produced APC are Buhari and Tinubu. The rest were only needed to make up the numbers and the spread. BAT has since that alliance built a working relationship with strong politicians in the north. The likes of Ganduje, Ribadu, Ado Dogawa, Ahmed Lawan, etc. are staunch Tinubu’s supporters who will deliver the delegates from that side of the country.
3. Neutrality of PMB PMB remains a political juggernaut whose support and influence can, to some extent determine who wins the APC ticket. From what I have read and heard, it was this support that Osinbajo was looking for that delayed his declaration. Unfortunately for him, PMB did not assure him of anything, instead preferring to be neutral and asking all the contestants to work hard to win the ticket. While it is possible for PMB to have a preference for PYO (highly doubtful), Buhari has demonstrated many times that he handles situations like this with utmost maturity and fairness to all involved. If he has forgotten how BAT deployed his resources to make him defeat Atiku and Kwankwaso in 2014 and to win the presidency in 2015 and 2019, he will surely be reminded by his close allies like Ganduje and the Senate President of this fact. And Buhari will choose to remain neutral. It is PYO who needs PMB so much and not the other way round.
4. Clear message of endorsement by the APC Senate and Rep Caucuses Not many watchers of political development will have missed the enormous support Tinubu enjoys from the APC senators and representatives. They are not hiding it and they have been saying it loud and clear even to the hearing of PYO. You only need to watch the Senate session when BAT paid the APC caucus a visit to intimate them of his ambition. You can also listen to Ado Doguwa’s recent interview on the same subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqe6AQllcPA and here https://www.nairaland.com/7079123/doguwa-speaks-bola-tinubus-aspiration. I also read that of the seventy-something invited by PYO for Iftar, only 24 or so honored the invitation with majority of them spotting facemask with BAT logo. These speak volume about their position. They are the people that matter in this election and they are not politicians you can intimidate to change their mind. They believe in BAT and they are ready to reward his past support for them too.
5. Osinbajo has no political structure After seven years of being the VP of Nigeria, it is a fact that PYO has no political base or structure of note with which he can be guaranteed of delegates votes. This is someone who lost his polling booth in the last general election. Irrespective of whatever sentiment anyone in the party top hierarchy may want to have for a PYO candidacy, they will realize what a dangerous option his candidacy represents for their party and they will bury the thought without wasting time.
6. Perception of PYO as someone who cannot be trusted Like it or not, Osinbajo’s declaration has portrayed him as someone who cannot be relied upon. In politics, the currency is loyalty and anyone who is perceived as not loyal is usually avoided by those who matter. Even among those currently propping the professor on, there are those who will be murmuring within their heart that the VP cannot be trusted not to betray them at some point, especially if he becomes president and thus untouchable. I will personally be weary of such character too. Yes, he has the constitutional right to contest but he has thrown morality to the dustbin by standing up to challenge his one-time political mentor. I read a piece about how Tiinubu reluctantly agreed for Osinbajo to be the running mate to PMB out of the three names suggested to him. The fact that BAT’s choice was still going to be picked and that he eventually agreed to PYO being named as the running mate is enough for our erstwhile star boy to abandon his ambition for BAT’s.
Anyway, let’s see how far the support of sycophants and traducers of Tinubu can carry him in his quest to wrestle APC’s ticket from Jagaban.
Passingshot (O.S. Olayiwola)
Without rigging, you know your party can't win this election.
Not those concocted results of 2019. You even said PYO couldn't win his boot. This should tell you the truth.
No sane Nigerian will reward APC with their votes, except for sycophants. Not with this level of government failures.
Mr Enenche's practicing licence should be revoked because of what his wife said?. .. Not what he said or did, but what his wife said?
Mrs Enenche's practicing licence should be revoked because she aired an opinion about marriage that has absolutely no nexus with her medical practice competence or otherwise?.... . An opinion she aired which is in line with the Biblical doctrines she preaches day and night? ?? ?
An opinion she didn't air in her office as a consulting doctor or to a patient who sought her professional medical advice?
So Georgina means to tell us that human beings with brains need to be told to run away from abusive and violent relationships. ..when it's not like they are dogs, cows and goats They should stay in the violence na until they are killed since they have enough sense to enter relationship but no sense to get out when handshake crosses the elbow
With all due respect, [/s]Vagina[s] Georgina Onuoha is mad... She needs our prayers
donpata: Both Reno and Farouk are talking nonsense. The way Nigeria is structured, is there any reasonable work for the VP apart from what the President permits? Buhari na failure and it is on record that he has travelled severally without handing over to Osinbanjo as required by Law. Let's not forget what Jonathan passed through in the hands of Turai and Aooduakan back then. Or better still, can Reno tell us the achievements of Jonathan as Deputy Gov and as vice President?
Resolution of the Niger Delta issues. Or you think Yaradu went to the creeks. It was Jonathan.
MartinsD12: In as much as I must say wike stood for PDP when it was going tough let him caution himself, he alone can't win presidency election, PDP should rally round atiku he is the only one that can match the drug dealer master in eko that's if apc gives him ticket and any candidate apc brings with atiku no problem atiku can match all of them , already pdp has the best squad we have Edo already obaseki will deliver on that he is a strong man , delta is cool etc
CyynthiaKiss: Who knows this clown might end up being the worst Governor in Nigeria.. Did he become a governor to provide for Anambra people or did he become a governor to use Ipob to chase clout ?
What made him think he can achieve what other four governors couldn't achieve jointly alone ? Why can't him leave IPOB and do what he was elected to do.. Setting up committe up and down because of IPOB, granting amnesty to IPOB as if IPOBS are Islamic terrorists that needs rehabilitation ...
Soludo focus on the government, your 100 days in office is around the corner.. Maybe that day you will sing Ipob national anthem .
Idiots ss are free to wail on my mention
Stop supporting ipob rubbish. Does the sit at home, killings and brigandage make sense to you?
It may. But it's of no use. IPOB needs to stop this nonsense. Burning down your state to the stone age is rubbish.
DispatcherLagos: Two days ago I lost my phone on my way back from work. So I decided to buy/register a new sim card yesterday.
So I branched to Ajah (along Ado road) to buy and register a new sim pending when I will have time probably by weekend to retrieve my old number.
While the registration was ongoing, I noticed the agent/vendor was selling already registered sims to customers without NIN, I became curious to know how possible it is considering all the protocols involve in registering new sims. So I asked him how much he sells the already registered sims and he told me 5k and I was still wondering how possible it can be.
So to confirm whether or not it's true I paid for a sim (5k) and he started with the "processing". First of all, there is this guy that came in to complain that his number was blocked even though he has NIN and had link it with his sim. The vendor through the help of the device they run their business with confirmed that there is a variation in the name used in registering the sim and the one in the NIN so he was told to wait (till he is done doing my work).
So after I paid for the already registered sim, I was surprised that the agent now called the man and started taking his passport. I picked offense by this attitude and confronted him(the agent) for abandoning me for another customer even though I came before him. At this point, he cornered me and told me to chill and that he was still on my work but only wanted to use the guy's NIN to link the already registered sim I paid for.
I was mad. So this is the extent people can go in a bid to make money? Imagine if I actually needed that sim and maybe I use it to perpetuate some crimes(God forbid) who do you think will be held responsible for it? I decided to bring this here to at least advise/warn us to be very careful and cautious of who has access to our NIN especially during this period that most sims are barred.
Faithful007: It was carried out by the Soviet union and not Russia.
By the way, A blast furnace steel plant is not rocket science that nobody else can fix. Not Britian of all nations.
How much information do you have about ASCO.
On this thread, I can easily know who knows whats you. Besides, the issue will ASCO in beyond the contractor or technology. If not the indians wouldn't have left.
God1000: I won't watch it dear, anything from fox news is 100% lie and toxic, they are only good in propaganda, character assassination and campaign of calumny
They are telling you the truth.
Now, watch the video and tell us, what's not true there.
Afamed: Deny the fact that PDP has been a monumental party in Delta State since over years now. What has PDP brought to Delta close to 24years now? Are you happy with Okowa . Spending almost 2 years now to construct a water passage from UTI to Pti junction? Are you happy as we speak, Warri has remained the same old warri without any infrastructural development? Jakpa junction, Enerhen Junction, PTi junction would have added different flyovers to ease the traffic. Come to Ebonyi state, come to Kano state, those are states without oil revenue. They are all doing far better than your Delta State. Are happy that the bushes, over 200 Uduagban bought for BRT , non is feasible again in Delta State as we speak? Are you happy that Uduagban started BRT lane from Enerhen Junction down to refinery junction which is less than 8 Klm abandoned? Go to Rivers State. They all have left your Delta State far behind
You are talking out of point and you know it.
My reaction is you calling Ovie Omoagege as a remedy and mentioning "thieving" in the same statement.
I don't play ethnic politics and I don't hold on to a party. But for Delta state, sorry you can't be mentioning Ovie, as remedy.
I know most of the politicians in that state very well and know how they operate.
Even when Ovie was special assistant to Ibori and then a commissioner.
My point is, if you truly wrote all you wrote up there and then mentioned Ovie. Then I know where you belong.
I easily detect those who know what's up and are sincere. You are so far from being sincere.
LegendHero: Nice one Banky. This is better than contesting under mushroom parties.
I also like you for being bold coz lot of other celebrities do wish to contest too but are scared of what online youths with say about them joining APC or PDP.
You now have to face Ibrahim Obanikoro of APC if you win the primaries. The guy is also sound and intelligent so that make sense for Eti-Osa.
I just hope hypocritical people won't cry blue murder if a celeb declare under the APC too.
You just reminded me of the Obanikoro guy. Since he won, didn't hear of him again.
