No right thinking person will chose Tinubu over Amaechi. Only thieves and MC Oluomo faction of the NURTW will want Tinubu as the president

Amaechi is a bigger thief and wike is a living witness. This goes a long way to show you people don't have a clue of what is happening in your own country besides tinubu this tinubu that.

Good decision. They have finally seen the light

Really? So in 3 years time when they swap parties again, you will claim bello matawalle has seen the light right. smh

Nigerian Only Problem is corruption:

99.9 percent of our problem will die a natural death when our Leaders own up and top Looting.

That is one campaign none of the aspirants want to talk about, which is the prime reason none of these so-called aspirants is qualified for my stress, let alone my vote.

Guy forget it, its a waste of vote
Because the some reason average politician what power by all means is more Power and Money which doesn't put food on your table

You are the least person in their Plans

Buhari was all about anti corruption in 2015 and here we are to day. He is overseeing the most corrupt administration in the history of Nigeria.

WesternOligarch:
Simon Ekpa is doing exactly what kanu started and was doing, the only difference is that we're close to election period and the Ibo elders that helped with the capture of kanu never thought another one would come up. Plus Ekpa is an ebonyi man.....a people considered "lesser" ibos, the average anambra man with all his pride would never submit to an ebonyi man in leadership.

In addition to that, they are also jealous of Simon Ekpa's followership.

Omicron007:




Whether you like it or not, Tinubu would be difficult to beat in the upcoming elections.

He is not the best candidate but he has the structure, money and connections needed to win the election.

Nigerians are on the verge of repeating the mistake that put us in this quagmire again.

Personally, I'd love to see Obi vs. Amaechi on the ballot.

Amaechi who wanted to award a 4 billion naira security contract to a company that is less than a year old. I don't think you guys are even tired of what is going on in that country.

eeetuk:
"Following Osinbajo’s announcement that he will also run for the 2023 presidential election on APC platform, loyalists of Tinubu have described him as Judas who betrayed Jesus Christ while others called him the ‘modern day Akintola who betrayed Awolowo’ in reference to the 1962 Action Group crisis which was a result of the struggle for power between two political leaders of the Western Region and Action Group (AG), Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola."

Impact of vice president Osinbayo entry into 2023 presidential race in Nigeria is beginning to take tolls on Mr. Tinubu presidential camp. Signs of those tolls are every where. Names calling is one sign. Claimed of betray is the second sign. Violence campaigns in the southwest, come next coming days will be the third and the final sign. Where is Chief Obafemi Awolowo grave yard?

If vice president Osinbayo wants APC presidential ticket, my advice to him is he should visit Chief Awolowo grave yard first before APC party primaries begin. That will divide Mr. Tinubu camp and throw supports of Southwest states in vice president Osinbayo favor.

Who disagrees?

Will the ghost of awolowo change the list of delegates who will vote in the primary election?

LegendHero:
Lol Pa Tewonde George.

We know your hate for Tinubu already beclouded your thought sir.

Funniest thing is that Asiwaju never made any statement about Osinbajo in a derogatory manner and Vice verse with Osinbajo.

Pa Bode should rather be preparing for his exile trip rather than wasting time on debating hearsays.

The shameless old ex-convict said he would go on exile if Buhari emerged president in 2015. Now the empty vessel is threatening to go on exile again knowing fully well that he is of no use to anyone but his bitter and miserable life.

For a man who doesn't understand English, baby is the only soothing words he believe can make him have his way...
The culprit is the receptionist who always have a spare key...

Do rapist care about soothing their victims for them to have their way? She said the rapist called her baby and at the same time he does not understand English; fair enough but my question to her is this, in what language did the rapist say he was going to get a condom? English or swahilli?

prince3009:
You lodged in a 4.5 star hotel that should have CCTV cameras on the lobby that leads to the rooms...

You crawled out of your room on all fours and no one saw you...

You got to the reception and no one was there (4.5 star hotel receptions can be so busy 24 hours attending to guests and even some guests will definitely be hanging around the place)...

You took pictures of the police station and didn't take pictures of the hotel but took a screenshot of the hotel off social media...

This one is another lying clout chasing Nigerian vaginarian with their usual cock and bull story of rape just to attract unnecessary attention and empathy.

How about her seeing the mans belt on the ground when the room was dark? A man who doesn’t understand english calling her baby? She felt her hand stroking a penis from deep sleep, and why did she have to crawl on all fours? Did the rapist break her legs? Too many loopholes in her epistle.

Biglittlelois:
So if you touch boobs when sleeping you won't know it is boobs? What is in your brain? Foam?

When sleeping? You must be out of your mind!! If you haven't been told, when you are asleep, you are unconscious.

Biglittlelois:
Are you well in the head at all?

Lalasticlala Seun this guy is encouraging rape with his insensitive comment, pls delete his post on front page....

Learn to use your brain. Of all the objects in this world, how did she manage to know it was a penis she was stroking even before opening her eyes?

Some few minutes afterwards, I started to feel my hands stroking someone’s penis. At this moment, I opened my eyes to confirm if It was actually a dream or I was in real danger.

So in your deep sleep, you already knew it was a penis you were stroking right? Nonsense!

Read through,it's not a normal thing for a government to mock Thier Allies cognitive ability,they are essentially depicting Biden as a weak and demented man who can't even remember what he's supposed to talk about.
If you know anything about international relations I shouldn't have to tell you how bad that is

It has got nothing to do with Biden's weakness but the blood stained hands of the saudi king bin salman. There is no more trump and jared kushner whose silence he bought for 2 billion dollars after ordering the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi inside the saudi embassy in Turkey alongside the blockade of Qatar, a country hosting the biggest foreign US military base. The kid is mad because he expects every POTUS to be like Trump who put his personal gains over national interest but it seems not to be the case with Biden's administration.

If the alarm was false, why are they charging the boys for unlawful restraint which is the same as hostage taking?

Just like the feared Bismarck, the Moskva is gone!!! Putin you see your life...

Like play like play to dey borrow don become Buhari’s equivalent of revenue generation despite all the natural resources God blessed Nigeria with. A failed carving-like-man with no vision.

Shascky33:
Buhari did nt win in 2011 because he had no support in the south, west and east. Check ur facts b4 commenting ahbeg.

Who has ever won an election with just votes from one region? He didn't win simply because he didn't have the capacity.

Jeromejnr:
Summary:

Oil and gas exports account for approximately 40% of the Kremlin’s annual revenue – and Russia is poised for an even larger windfall this year.

The country will earn nearly $321 billion from its energy exports this year, according to Bloomberg. That figure is an increase of more than a third compared to the previous year.

Lol, the last strides of a dying horse.

TheOgaBoss:
really? Voters from Kano and Kaduna voted for buhari because of tinubu? U are funny.

How funny? Who made Buhari APC' s presidential candidate and who spearheaded his campaign knowing fully well that he cannot even organize his household? And why did you single out kano and kaduna? Where were those voters when Buhari was shedding tears in 2007 and 2011?

hnm2023:
Since his emergence as Nigeria’s number-two citizen, different accounts had been flying around on how Professor Yemi Osinbajo, actually secured the coveted vice-presidential slot, a majority of which revolved around the person of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, his former boss. Indeed, the recent revelation by Chief Bisi Akande in his book, “My Participations” was equally slanted to further pin down the narrative.

You may recall that in 2016, Professor John Paden, authored a biography, ‘Muhammadu Buhari: The Challenges of leadership in Nigeria’, where he dismissed speculations that Tinubu, influenced the emergence of Osinbajo as Buhari’s running mate, but contended that Buhari, instead, chose Osinbajo despite a lot of pressure from Tinubu, who was interested in the position. That book raised a lot of dust and as expected, Tinubu’s soldiers went for the professor.

But, regardless of whichever version you must have read or heard, what you are about to read now is the untold story of how Professor Osinbajo, became Buhari’s running mate and eventually, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

It happened that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was almost running against the deadline for the submission of names of its candidates ahead of the 2015 presidential election. There was no debate about its presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, who had emerged at a convention held in Lagos in December of 2014. But the party had been held hostage on its choice for the running mate.

In the forefront of the confusion that had ensued as a result was Tinubu, who didn’t hide his desire to fill the slot. He hinged this on the understanding he allegedly had with Buhari in the early days of their proposed alliance, before the merger that eventually culminated in the formation of the APC, now boasting several other tendencies.

With a bigger house made possible by what was known as the ‘legacy parties’ and other individuals, who championed the change movement, a Muslim/Muslim ticket had become arguably impracticable.

This much was canvassed by a majority of the actors with stakes in the party, especially, with the increasing attacks from the Boko Haram terrorist group. They had considered a Muslim/Muslim ticket a very hard sell.

However, with 24 hours to deadline for submission of names, coupled with the fact that Tinubu had made a smooth choice of a running mate nearly impossible, including the fact that he was made to chair a selection committee, which failed to fly, because of his vested interest, Buhari then decided to take the bull by the horn, being the candidate.

While the underhand intrigues subsisted, Buhari had set up a team of some persons, including a former governor of Zamfara State, Abdul-Aziz Yari; former President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki; incumbent Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal and his predecessor, Magatakarda Wamakko, amongst others to shortlist names of likely candidates for him, from the South.

Interestingly, it seemed there was a consensus that with the role of the Southwest, the running mate must come from the zone, reason other interested folks from other parts of the country could not fly.

The committee had completed its work and submitted a list of three names to Buhari. First on the list is a former Osun State governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, followed by Senator Olorunimbe Mamora and third, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. Please, follow the trend and how Osinbajo’s name first featured in the 2015 theatrics.

Armed with the list and wary of the deadline staring him in the face, Buhari left for Tinubu’s house in Abuja, first to explain that a Muslim/Muslim ticket was not going to fly, meaning he would be unable to run with him and that in the alternative, he (Tinubu) could recommend anyone from the list to him as his preferred choice for the slot. At least, he thought it was okay to do him that honour.

Unfortunately, Tinubu didn’t receive the news well and flared up so bad that he was alleged to have engaged in war of words with Buhari, who stormed out of his house, after Tinubu had insinuated betrayal. Amongst those in Tinubu’s house at the time were Chief Bisi Akande, Rauf Aregbesola and Adams Oshiomhole. But only Oshiomhole walked Buhari to his car as he made to leave the house.

From Tinubu’s house, Buhari stopped over at the home of a former governor from the Southern part of the country and told him all that transpired, and went back home – angry and disappointed.

Getting home, he sent for Saraki and when the former Senate President got to his place, he narrated what happened and the embarrassment meted out to him, saying if Tinubu wanted a fight, he was ready and he would give it back in full dose.

But Saraki pleaded with him that it was too early and that the situation was not what they couldn’t manage well before the elections. Saraki immediately contacted a former Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, and hinted him that there was fire on the mountain and that he needed to come around to join forces with him to manage the situation. Amosun left his home in Abeokuta, first for Lagos and then Abuja, and straight to Buhari’s home.

Thus, when he got there, he was intimated with all that had happened, but he was particularly worried about deadline and pleaded with Buhari to let him take it over from there. So, he left for Tinubu’s place to close the deal.

By the time he got to Tinubu’s residence, Oshiomhole had left but still with him were Baba Akande and Ogbeni Aregbesola. Typical of Amosun, who would not waste time on anything, he told Tinubu that Buhari’s mind was already made up, but that he should decide now, who he wanted as the running mate, at least, that only the individual he chose would be presented to Buhari and not give him the pleasure of choosing from a list.

Still angry and disappointed, the first person Tinubu suggested in that rage was Oshiomhole. But as if planned, there was almost a unanimous opposition from everyone in the room. Then, Aregbesola suggested Osinbajo and he (Tinubu) opposed it, saying Osinbajo was one of those, who campaigned against a Muslim/Muslim ticket and must therefore not benefit from it.

Now, let’s digress a bit. Tinubu’s anger against Osinbanjo was this. The former Lagos governor had set up a team of persons close to him to ponder the Muslim/Muslim idea and the best way to push it forward. Those on the team included Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Senator Tokunbo Afikuyom, Mr. Wale Edun, Mr. Dele Alake and Mr. Dapo Thomas. The team met regularly at a private Guest House on the Island, Ikoyi to be precise.

But Osinbajo had during one of their meetings said pointedly that there was no way he would defend a Muslim/Muslim ticket in good conscience especially, with the state of security in the country. He asked on what account would he go back to his family and say he was part of such a decision? Of course, Tinubu got a feedback from the team and held it against him, even though Osinbajo didn’t mean any harm.

Therefore, at the mention of Osinbajo, he revolted almost instantly. But he needed to give a name and time was fast going before deadline. So, he asked to see the list brought by Buhari and on sighting it, he said, “Okay, let’s run with Oyinlola.” To that too, Baba Akande protested and it was back to square one.

Again, Aregbesola prevailed and contended that, like it or not, Osinbajo remained a member of Tinubu’s political family and therefore, still his best bet. After a few minutes of grumbling, he reluctantly agreed to Osinbajo. And Amosun asked him repeatedly if it was a deal and he responded in the affirmative. Final answer kind of thing! Mamora was not even to be considered as far as Tinubu was concerned. Those who know Lagos politics would understand why.

When he finally agreed to Osinbajo, Aregbesola even pleaded to be given the honour of being the person to break the news to Osinbajo. But Amosun didn’t have the patience to acquiesce to that request. For him, time was of the essence and that assignment was handled business-likeThrefore, how Baba Akande handed them a note with Osinbajo’s name and ordered them to Buhari is still a mirage. Besides, Aregbesola did not go with him.

Anyway, in the presence of all, Amosun made a call to Osinbajo to ask, where he was and that a plane would be sent to convey him now to Abuja. But, incidentally, Osinbajo replied that he was in Abuja already, because he had a case at the Supreme Court.

Great, everything seemed to be working together for good, he reckoned. Then asked him to come immediately to Ogun House in Abuja, and when he arrived, he first congratulated him saying, “You’re the next vice-president of Nigeria.”

With a confounding gaze, he conveyed him in his (Amosun’s) car and drove straight to Buhari’s house, with Kemi Adeosun, former Minister of Finance, sitting in front of the car.

Getting to the candidate’s residence, Amosun asked Osinbajo to wait downstairs, while he went upstairs to see the president and told Buhari: “I have him sir,” and Buhari asked: “Who?” and he replied: “Your running mate”.

The APC candidate then came downstairs, where he first met with Osinbajo for the first time as introduced to him by Amosun and immediately, ushered them to a sitting area in the kitchen, where his nomination form was filled in a hurry.

Osinbajo, filling his form in Buhari’s dinning area, was guided by Mrs. Adeosun, Amosun and Sarki Abba, one of Buhari’s domestic staff, to hasten up the process. Buhari, too, was there watching them complete the process.

This is why for those, who know the story, how Osinbajo later turned out to be Amosun’s enemy remains a mystery to them. But with this insider picture of how Osinbajo ‘walked from Lagos to Abuja’, readers can now decide by themselves, the person, who actually made Osinbajo the vice president. To do this, however, five centres must be factored into account.

The first is the team set up by Buhari, which included him amongst the three potential candidates. The second is Aregbesola, who consistently mentioned him until it was approved. The third is Tinubu, who reluctantly agreed to his choice, without which they probably would have been unable o move on.

The fourth was Amosun, who had to run a major and serious race from Abeokuta to Lagos and Abuja to make sure that phase in the life of APC was closed. The fifth and most important is Buhari himself. He could have rejected him if he wanted to. After all, he was going to be working with him and definitely should have a say in the choice of his partner.

But if you asked this writer, no one person made Osinbajo vice president. The coming together of everyone as designed by God did the job. Therefore, no one person can claim the glory. This, in a nutshell, is the story of Osinbajo’s journey to the seat of power, Abuja.

All the additions and facts deliberately mutilated by Baba Akande are curious. But, it is understandable. Above all, if you are in doubt, many names are mentioned here as witnesses to the journey, you can check with them all.

You can write whatever you like but it is an open secret that Tinubu schemed Atiku and Kwankwaso out in favor of Buhari during the primary election. He also picked Osinbajo against the interest of Amaechi and co. Tinubu also went ahead and campaigned for them across the length and breadth of Nigeria as if he was the one running for president. After winning the election, he was shoved aside by this same people. Fast forward to 2019 when Buhari’s administration was like a shipping vessel listing dangerously, he ran back to Tinubu for help and with the help of oshiomole they were able to steady the ship and they won the election for him again againt all odds. Mind you buhari and osinbajo didn't even utter a word during the 2015 and 2019 campaign besides pronouncing osinbajo as "osinbade".
Buhari and osinbajo combined does not make up to 20% of the effort that was put into getting them where they are today and here you are trying to change the narrative. Bunch of ingrates!

CSTRR:
The wife is a doctor too.

They probably both met in medical school.

A doctor is a doctor even if he has the anointing of Elijah.
His views are seen as medical advise and can be sued for malpractice.

How can a doctor that went to medical school ask a woman to endure continuous physical trauma?
A pastor with medical training?

If they lose their licence, nobody will take their word as medical advise and not everybody believes in their religion anyway so their view holds less weight.

"His views are seen as medical advise and can be sued for malpractice."

You are dead wrong. How can someone's views on the issue of divorce be seen as medical advise?

Chukwudi4naija:
So their values and ideals should negate medical practice that ought to protect mental and physical health?

What has advice on marriage and divorce got to do with medical practice?

ChoCho54:
Tinubu go siddon ooo

Your mythical stature is all wash. Everything single thing you did, you cashed out from big time.

But at least he left something behind that will be there for many years to come. Others are cashing out leaving nothing to show.
