A wise man once said

Mynd44:
Weird part is that even Teslim Folarin has said he and Makinde don't have any talks until after the presidential elections. Meaning they will support the same presidential candidate.

Those I pity are the PDP senate and Rep Candidates

You are right. Seems Makinde is making a foolhardy of himself. How will he win governorship of PDP rep and senatorial candidates fails in the first week. His support for Tinubu will affect them thereby reducing his own chances further.

The subtle support of Seyi Makinde for Tinubu's presidency may lead to loss of his 2nd term ambition.

The presidential election will come earlier, if Tinubu wins, APC hierarchy will ensure Teslim Folarin, APC candidate wins the governorship election the coming week.

Makinde will be seriously betrayed.
My advice for Makinde is to wake up and campaign for PDP at all levels. Nyesom Wike's tenure is coming to an end, Makinde who has a 2nd term ambition should not compare himself to him and doing boy boy behind him.
Makinde should stop subtle support for Tinubu, or sitting on the fence. If at all Tinubu wins presidency, Makinde will lose his governorship bid.

I dont think Atiku is ready to win any election, he seems too relaxed. He or his team are not pressing hard at Tinubu enough. Tinubu has been shading them a number of times. Obedients are the ones giving Tinubu a tough time. Atiku and his team seems unserious. They should press harder.

Congrats.
Do we have female generals in Nigerian army?

Seyi Makinde have warned all PDP politicians in oyo not to put Atiku's pictures on any of his campaign materials.

Seyi Makinde doing boy boy to Wike will not help him.
If he thinks he can subtly work for Tinubu and win his own gubernatorial election. He is a joker, he should not take the support people have for him for granted. People will turn against him among those who will never vote for Tinubu. He neglected the coalition that worked for his election, he should not add to reducing his chances. He should thread softly and support his party presidential candidate.

He is a bad market

like seriously

"You cannot wish the country well and vote for someone you do not believe in," according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN
Osinbajo is conspicuously absent at Tinubu's manifesto launch despite the persuasion of Tinubu when he saw him during the Ministerial review.

Tinubu looked for a photo opportunity and endorsement with Osinbajo. Please note that Osinbajo has not endorse nor will he campaign for him.

Osinbajo & Tinubu at Today's Ministerial Performance Review Retreat.
I feel Tinubu is using the opportunity to beg Osinbajo to join his campaign.
However, Osinbajo may not join.

When Tinubu was asked about climate change at Arewa house His answer
On Climate change, Tinubu said “it’s like stopping the church rat from eating poisoned holy communion, we don’t have money, we need to shine our eyes, look the West in the eyes and say to them, if you don’t give us money, we won’t comply with your climate change.

This man doesn't understand what he is saying

Breaking:

Tinubu called for an emergency meeting with the aggrieved members of the APC for reconciliation but the following were still absent at the meeting.

1. Prof Yemi Osinbajo
2. Abdullahi Adamu
3. Rotimi Ameachi
4.Yakubu Dogara
5. Nasir El-rufai
6. Abubakar Sani Bello
7. Ahmed Lawal
8. Abdulazeez Yari
9. Atiku Bagudu
10. Babachir Lawal
11. Yahaya Bello
12. Mai Mala Buni

Felimax:
Forget it this election has been won!

Interesting times ahead.
Nuf said!

Won by who?

00FFT00:
What part of what he said is untrue?. Who will loot state coffers to pay the hired march participants, fund the already DOA campaign, etc?.

All is not well in APC camp

Adamu Abdullahi, APC chairman with Iyorcha Ayu, PDP Chairman at Solomon Lar's book launch in Abuja today. This is part of PDP calendar of activities.
Seeing APC chairman here shows that once a PDP always a PDP.
See how they are romancing themselves in one chair, enjoying themselves together but na you wey be ordinary follower dey fight because of them.

If you are a follower fighting your friends, destroying your contacts, burning down your bridges because of Politicians. Think twice.
Meanwhile why is Adamu saying APC will lose without APC governors. Why can't he talk positively.
Or is he working for PDP?

RZArecta:
It's a shame for Festus Keyamo not to have direct access to his principal at this critical stage of the campaign but rather has to go through Seyi. Very shameful and presents a bad image because is this what Nigerians will be facing if unfortunately, Tinubu becomes president ?

It speaks volume

Mystic216:
He should release a video talking about 2023 election, by then we would take him serious
Even his vice have piped low

Serious politicking is going on in APC now. It will be unveiled soon

They should release a video of him speaking

Bobloco:
Tinubu's whereabout is unknown

Hmm

Urheadmaster:

What do you think?

“I spoke with Seyi (Tinubu’s son). The son is with him and the son says “daddy is okay” and that is our discussion this morning.”

https://punchng.com/tinubu-not-president-keyamo-justifies-ex-govs-absence/


Something is fishy. Why cant Keyamo speak to Tinubu directly or give the phone to him?

They are party members mobilized from the 33 local govts

This is a nonsensical statement. It is like saying you will convert Oshodi bus terminals to library. It makes no sense as per location and building configuration.
Meanwhile, this man will come distant third in the election, people don't see him as a good candidate.

Kingozymandias:
Funny enough nobody went for the jagaban mega rally

No mobilization money, they need approval from emilokan to disburse funds for the foot soldiers but he's no where to be found

From Lagos mainland to island was at standstill yesterday for the Obidient movement. The rally was like the true independence celebration.
Agbadorians were shocked with the way people came out without collecting shishi.
Their whatsapp group strategy is to be calling it an ethnic movement. Dont fall for it. Yorubas, Hausas, Igbos were fully represented at the rally yesterday. Bauchi also had their own rally.
The number of people that showed up yesterday are the ones who will mobilize other voters.
APC also scheduled a counter rally yesterday, but shame on them because no money to disburse as emilokan is not around. A counter rally will still hold anyway. Obidients really pressed their necks yesterday.

Politics aside. This is a call for concern. Something is fishy

APC Chairman Adamu fumes, writes Tinubu, accuses him of breaching agreements on Campaign Council.

The letter reads

“On behalf of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), I present my compliments to Your Excellency, and have the honour to convey to you, in truth and respect, the Committee’s opinion and position, regarding the above-mentioned subject matter, with a view to having a clear understanding about the respective roles and responsibilities of the principal organs of the Party charged with the duties of conducting the campaigns in the forth-coming general elections.

This correspondence has become necessary in view of developments that took place over the last few days around the purported appointments into the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) that was announced precipitately by officials of the Council, without making recourse to the NWC for approval. All along, the NWC had been disposed towards the campaign in a cooperative spirit that is driven by the overall interest of the Party and the singular desire of victory for our candidates, in the persons of your esteemed self and your running mate.

It is against this background that the NWC received with astonishment and regret, the press release by the PCC on 23rd September 2022, in which a purported list of appointees was announced, which effectively served as the approved roster of participants in the Party’s Presidential Campaign Council.

The purported list not only came as a complete surprise to the NWC and the Party’s leadership, but also contravened the principles and purposes of the arrangements that you and I had led towards the adoption of the Organogram of the PCC, and its principal officials.

Perhaps it has become necessary owing to the passage of time, that I should draw Your Excellency’s attention to the agreements that we reached in principle around the final adoption of the PCC list, based on the understanding that it was a work in progress, until such a time that the Joint NWC/PCC Committee that was established to formalise the structure and populate the list, submits its report.

Your Excellency will no doubt recall our meetings in my office and also at the NWC Conference Room at the Party’s National Secretariat, on Wednesday, 7th September 2022, during which we discussed the details of the Organogram of the PCC and its composition, as a collaborative project between the two entities. Our recollection of those meetings clearly leaves us in no doubt that a breach of agreement has occurred, and that a return to the principles of cooperation and respect for each other is required.

In Your Excellency’s own words, which I take the liberty to quote here, which I also hold dearly, you stated that “there is a burden on everyone’s shoulders towards delivering the elections to the Party and the candidate”. This has been the view of the NWC and myself all along since Your Excellency’s emergence as our Great Party’s Flagbearer.

The NWC is striving under trying circumstances to keep faith with this vision, and to take our Party and candidates to victory, not only in the Presidential elections but in all others across the elective strata of offices.

May I, therefore, point out to Your Excellency, that winning election is a cooperative as well as a collaborative effort, that is done in a transparent and disinterested manner by all parties concerned, by respecting established boundaries and acknowledging the contributions of everyone. The NWC believes that any sign of disarray in the Party’s ranks will undermine the spirit and ethos of the campaign and give the undue alarm to faithful members and followers of the Party across the country.

At the same, such a development would undoubtedly come as “Manna from Heaven” for the opposition parties, whose only desire when all else fails, is to see the introduction of rancour, division and disinclination in the leadership of our Great Party.

I am sure Your Excellency will agree with me that this is an eventuality that we must do all in our power to prevent from happening. You will also agree that we owe it a duty as leaders to provide guidance by example to the rest of the Party including the PCC, to abide by agreements and adhere strictly to the work ethos that has been adopted by all of us. It is only by doing so that we will establish the premise for victory and gain the trust and confidence of our dear countrymen and women.

Without further admonishment or complaints, I wish hereby to call upon Your Excellency to restrain the PCC from undertaking solo projects of this nature and agree to work with all stakeholders towards taking our Party to victory. I shall not find it necessary to reiterate the importance of the Party in the overall scheme of things in these campaigns, and the singular position of the NWC in driving the process towards our securing of victory in the polls.

It suffices for me to convey the general and overwhelming sentiment of the NWC with regards to the ill-timed and unfortunate release of the PCC list, which confounded rather than pleased the members and whose withdrawal will assure the NWC of Your Excellency’s respect and disposition towards the Party, as well as the magnanimous spirit of cooperation towards achieving victory together with the NWC.

Please accept, Your Excellency, my own personal regard and consideration, as well as the assurances of the of NWCs’ warm and sincere felicitations”.

With the current list of the APC campaign council, there are indications that some elements within the party are disgruntled which led to the postponement of the campaign

Dear Prof Osinbajo, if you are reading this or someone close to him is reading this help me pass this message across to him that he shouldn't campaign for Tinubu. We saw how delegates betrayed you for money. Prof, your time is coming.

Do you know why some northern governors are rooting for Tinubu, he has reportedly shared positions for them in his cabinet if he wins. That political strategist should not need underrated.
It is Tinubu vs Adamu (Buhari) today

jmoore:
Buhari told him 'Ahmed'.

Adamu never knew Tinubu and Lawan have 'Ahmed' as their name.

Tinubu that insulted him that he was crying and lost 3 times before he helped his life
