It is the duty of the Governor of Kano State to restore the lost glory of Kano if any. With the money accruing to Kano State on daily basis, no outsider can put Kano at the position it should be other than Abba Yusuf. Nobody is doing that for other States and Kano doesn't lack Federal presence in all ramifications. In any case, former Governor Obi must say something to amuse the Kwakwanso supporters. It is the usual trade of Naija politicians.
VIDEO: Nigerian street-pop artist Portable publicly endorses President Tinubu’s reelection bid, invoking ancestral curses against Yoruba non-voters and promising food handouts to supporters.
Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has threatened fellow Yorubas with spiritual judgment if they do not vote for President Bola Tinubu in next year’s general elections.
Speaking in a video broadcast, the Zazu crooner placed curses on any Yoruba who works against President Tinubu’s reelection.
The singer claimed that he has been contracted by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to campaign for Tinubu.
He said, “We need peace, we want peace. If you don’t want war in Nigeria, you better vote for Tinubu.
“Thunder and Ogun will strike any Yoruba man who doesn’t. I have been signed, given APC clothes — don’t worry, I wll soon start sharing rice and vegetable oil.”
How will a person at the level of a Governor be influenced to leave his party for another one if he is not a fool. You should blame the defectors always.
bentenny: Just imagine what that cult group called apc is doing! Interestingly,this desperation never transpired during the regime of a so called military man. For all Buhari obvious sins,he never tried to influence governors into joining apc by hook or crook. But fast-forward to an acclaimed democrat,look at what is happening in Nigeria.
There was nothing like assassination of ADC leaders in Edo. The faction of the ADC that disrupted the Oyegun/Akpata led ADC meeting in Edo did not hide. They confirmed that they were behind the disruption since Oyegun was using power to snatch the party from the foundation members of the party in the State. Try to be impartial in your report/comment. Your support or otherwise for APC does not and cannot determine the success of the party.
Mrexcell: You should be old and wise enough to know the difference this event in owerri was clearly disrupted by same apc youths that were protesting for being shortchanged by the organisers of the city boys movement while the one that happened in edo was clearly an assassination attempt on adc leaders. There's no records of tinibu or any apc top leaders been shot at by armed Igbo youths when they visited the south east region.
Watch the videos very well, Sowore didn't join them to sing that 'Nnamdi Kanu is another saviour' because he knew that Kanu is never a saviour. Clowns deceiving the peace of Aba and Otti will not talk for the fear of losing second term election.
PigTormentor: The attention seeking clown is all over the place. I trust President Tinubu to do yinmu to thsee clowns 🤡
The Minister of Power is "the fake certificate holder". The Minister of Petroleum is also a fake certificate holder.
What is the sense of appointing a Minister who is waiting for a fake certificate holder who promised his data boiz not to snatch and grab for him if he comes for another round of snatching in 2027
It has always been a concern seeing the South Easterners undecided about their target within Nigeria. Secession or Presidency? Which one do they actually wanted. From the look of things the division among the people is crystal clear as the rich and elites prefer the Presidency while the people on the other side prefer secession. Both sides are pursuing the target without clear cut out strategies and this is why it will continue to be a dream to achieve any of the two targets. Even the so-called North, with huge electoral figures cannot single-handedly win the Presidency. So, what's the way forward because trying to force an Obi on Nigerians will not work. We all know that if Biafra Republic is realized today, Obi will not be made the President. He will not even win in the Presidential election of Biafra Republic. Our people must decide what they want and work towards it. Elections are only won through diplomacy and strategy, not through fighting and name-calling.
You are on point. The same thing is applicable to all of them - Atiku, Amaechi, Aregbesola, Obi, the defected PDP Governors, Senators down to Councillors.
If you like, come from Heaven West, you are okay for those you are trying to pleased because nobody knows of your existence in the scheme of things even in Oyo State. We are talking of Nigeria, you are mentioning Osun, UCH, UI as if the election results in those places are equal to Bauchi State election result. Whoever becomes the President of Nigeria is the wish of those that determine who gets what in Nigeria and until this changes, we will continue to get the same result. Whether somebody win or lose Lagos is immaterial since he got the biggest price. Somebody that won South East by 90% is still running around to see the gate of Aso Rock Villa.
Ogedtunde: I am from the south west As far as i know, Tinubu lost Lagos: we can argue that Lagos consists of people from different ethnicity. He lost Osun, he lost most of the institutions where people protected their votes; UCH Ibadan for example he lost all the polling units. He lost UI as well. Check the polling units where the elites voted, my kinsman lost woefully Let us stop pointing fingers and look for a way to solve the problem. 2023 election was rigged period.
what is the meaning of e-transmission of election results. There is no where in the world that you don't have manual backup to electronic transmission of result and that is what they do in Nigeria. So, explain your own e-transmission and let us see what is missing. You have forgotten that the political family in Nigeria is one. They only disagree on matter of interest and not on love for the masses. The marked difference is how they spend their loots. They are all the same. You can only refuse to accept whatever is said about your favourite among them (whoever he is) but you know that he is not different based on what he had done in the past. Some group of lawmakers openly called Tinubu Mr. President in Year 2021 when they visited him after a leg surgery in the UK. Did he not become the President two years later? Continue to disturb yourself thinking the folks that appoint Nigeria's President have time to think of your existence.
quote author=Asmanthinket post=138734019] that is your opinion. BTW why have apc refused to implemented real time e transmission of results, even with all the governors in Nigeria? You guys amuse me greatly. Once beaten twice shy. If Nigerians had not listened to obi and continued with the protests they had started, me and you won't be here talkies this. I want you to keep this statement for rememberance, and let's see how it goes.[/quote]
Your eyes will be clear by 2027. APC is not being handled by Buhari's team that no next to nothing and the Northerners across all parties are preparing for 2031 and not 2027. Anyone that contests against Tinubu from the South will be roundly defeated and disgraced. The opposition will only do the normal noise-making of rigging. If you think America will come here to remove a President, you are a baby.
Asmanthinket: you people have failed to understand that obi has already bought the hearts of Nigerians. There is no political party he we enter today and he will not win. Even before last general election, obj predicted a similar thing. Obj predicted that obi would will the election with large margin, that Nigeria would encounter unprecedented protest if inec attempted rigging it. However, after the announcement of the results, Nigerians were not happy because of the rigging. Protest against the result broke out in worri, and obi flew to the city to quell the it. Once beaten twice shy. We have learned from Iranians, and will stage a protest if such thing repeats again. I am glad Nigeria is under Americans watch list,
Just in one or two sentences you would have made your point. What are you tryin to say now?
saintkel: We don't want to learn in dis country, d reason why we shouldn't even be one....Buhari came n sorry to say dis....d elites especially those from d southwest and d north promoted him so highly.....he was a pure disaster n insecurity worsened in d north....now here comes Tinubu....d same south west told us that he's a Democrat and a seasoned revivalist....see insecurity now creeping into yoruba land....yet we don't want to learn....we will still use dis tribal card again for d next election....r we really silly in dis country?
You are guilty of the same ethnocentric mindsets because Wike and Umahi are not of the President's ethnic. That doesn't stop him from searching for a better person though, the earlier some of you stop assessing issues from tribal perspectives, the better for the country. Try to know why Nnaji resigned as a Minister of Power and tell us if the conflict of interest has been removed for him to be appointed a Minister again.
bjcole: I m surprised that people are blaming the minister and not the president, there is little or nothing the minister could do, if the govt refuses to invest in the power sector.
This President has chosen not to take power serious, rather he was only interested in increasing tarrifs and creating discrepancies and segregation among Nigerians, or how do you explain the various band policies they introduced, to make matter worse, he now appointed a novice to head the power ministry, where are the likes of Barth Nnaji? Tinubu will never see such, because of bigotry and ethnocentric mindsets.
The failure of the power sector and the darkness we are experiencing presently across the whole country is an indictment on this administration.
Let the Minister be changed ten times over, the situation will remain the same. The major problem is the GENCOS and the DISCOS that has no capacity to generate and effectively distribute power in the country. Foreign investors are required to invest into the nation's power sector otherwise the recent collapse is just the starting steps.
That was because Buhari was the President. You will be shocked with the outcome of the next general election. Mind you, both the North West and South South Regions are planning for 2031 in the race for which Region gets the President and Vice President tickets. I told you this for free because you seems not to understand Nigeria's politics.
SpatialKing: Peter shows us that Governors don't determine the outcome of presidential elections in their respective states...
This is not the best way to counter the issue raised by that guy. Try to compare countries that are not too far from each other. Nigeria may be facing lots of challenges but you cannot favourably compare it with another country of 10million with probably more wealth. It cannot work.
CyynthiaKiss: They get agitated when you question their mental state.
Same thing is applicable to people in psychiatric hospitals who still see themselves as people that are ok upstairs, but fight you with their last blood of you tell them they are not normal upstairs
If you are referring to Ajimobi's tenure as locust years, you must e high on a very hard drug. Till date Seyi continues with projects planned or initiated by Ajimobi. You are just confused and looking for how to defend Mr. Land Grabber.
Have you ever been to court and witnessed proceedings? Court is a place of facts; not place of truth. A judge depends on what is presented to him to pass hos judgement even when he knows the truth.
ojuu4u: Before I open the thread I knew the judge that set him free will be J.Omotosho .
This man will finish Nigeria before he get to supreme court, though he might have met his Waterloo before that time.
Anybody that seeks alliance with COWARDLY people will always fail.
Dont believe when the claim to want an alliance, it's all about self serving actions.
Since Fulani terrorists have been doing their dance in SW has this disaster called IGBOHO even lifted a finger? Imagine someone saying that he needs the permission of the FG to liberate his own people from Fulani Massacres and abductions.
Nnamdi Kanu is a LEGEND.
I am so so ashamed of these people....but I NEVER expected anything different.
Nobody can say. But what benefits did a Christian Vice President under Buhari bring that is lacking now. Religion is only thrown up in the country to bamboozle the uninformed and to get votes.
Walezy2020: Muslim Muslim ticket will Muslim ever agree with Christian Christian ticket?
The only politician in Nigeria that can mastermind the defeat of Atiku in any primary election is Tinubu. I won't say argue that Amaechi will come second. He will because he is not stingy like Obi. He will spend to get enough votes of the delegates to come second while Obi will be third and start looking for a new platform to contest. Atiku is already boring to the North and if you look at what is happening in the North now, they are preparing for 2031. They have conceded 2027 to Tinubu. The unsound ADC is just wasting precious time and resources chasing shadow.
FSBoperator: ADC is filled to the brim with Buhari cabal members and associates.
The only reason they decamped from the APC was because they knew Buhari was terminally ill and with his death, every protection they had from Buhari will be gone.
Remember the same Cabal backed Amaechi in the APC primaries.
Atiku has no real support in ADC and he knows it.
Obi only ran to ADC in a bid to convince Atiku to make him his running mate in exchange of having SE delegates vote Atiku in the primaries against Amaechi.
But Amaechi enjoys much more widespread support in ADC than Atiku .
Atiku is on his last chips in the gambling table.
He knows he can't win and is now begging for forgiveness from southern delegates especially those from the SS who knew the role he played in ensuring GEJ was removed from office.
Note, that ADC is made up of disgruntled and expired former PDP members and Buhari cabalists from the CPC faction.
continue with your delusion. where is the gain for winning Lagos by Obi rather it woke up the rulers of Lagos from their slumber and it will never happen again. .
reddingtonblack: What is strategic about Illegality, Jonathan foolishly refuse to use his office that why we fell from fry pan to apc fire
if Tinubu is master strategist as you zombies believe ..why did he lose lagos to OBi that had no structure Where the people are determined to vote Tinubu will lose .. thats why they try to kill Nigerians faith in Inec, they purposely do things that we make people give up and low turn out at polling units
