I wonder what the Yorubas want to accomplish with a Tinubu presidential ambition. They are swift to deride Peter Obi at any given opportunity as if Obi is only opposition Tinubu has
If it was Tinubu of last 10 years I will champion his ambition but Tinubu of today with failing health and memory is a big NO for me.
APC got it wrong by fielding him as their presidential candidate, he is a hard sell to be candid. I know the tribal Yoruba will not like to hear this truth because they are beclouded by their tribalism.
I always ask myself " it's this the best Yorubas can present to Nigeria?"
Only God knows the hidden agenda they want to accomplish with a Tinubu president

TheFreeOne:
Good move.

This will shore up Labour party's presence in Lagos and Peter Obi / Datti popularity.

Obi is already popular in Lagos , Salvador wants to ride on the popularity of Peter Obi to win the gubernatorial election in Lagos, it's a pity presidential election will be coming up before the guber

Coolsperm:
Atiku is even better than Tinubu that is running on Muslims Muslim ticket, we Yoruba Christian's will never vote Tinubu on this ticket

Yoruba Christians will vote Tinubu

lol online Bandits go soon come and chop this new blogger head....

They always expect everyone to reason lik dem cos na dem wise pass for this world you must not av any other contrary opinion....


In SW we av neva for once debate abt religion in our Family meeting so na oda neighbors with intolerance just dey cry up nd down...

I have always told who ever cares to listen both online and offline that Yoruba Christians being liberal religious people don't care about Muslim Muslim ticket palaver.
They will all vote overwhelmingly for Tinubu being their son and their leader, know this and know peace
On a more serious note Nigerian politicians are neither Christians nor Muslims, their religion is to grab power and money

ImmaculateJOE:
It can sway some Northern votes for him, no matter how little...

You are right, Nigeria needs young candidates that coordinate well not people that have started losing memory

PlayerMeji:
Too late!

Igbos hated this country for the past 7 1/2 years, they never wanted anything to do with this country.

Now it's election time, Nigerians should vote for them.

Stop all these generalisation and campaign for your candidate. You can't say that all the north support the activities of Book Haram and bandits

The Buhari only project in the entire South East, for 8yrs is not even moving forward.

Useless president

What was the project of PDP in SE for 16 years?

Ndimkpurummiri:
The news of his defection to APC was shared by pigs and idiots just to discredit Mazi Tinubu Ikemba Ahmed the Chukwu okike abiama of Biafra kingdom

Do yo know that Chukwu Okike is the name of the Almighty God in Igbo language? Stop playing with the name of God to avoid incurring His wrath

Is Joe Igbokwe educated at all? He makes silly mistakes most times in his tenses.Joe Igbokwe it's" I heard" not" I hear"

He has already left billions for them already

Vote4ObiDatti:
Ganduje should shut up abeg, Babachir Lawal is absolutely right!

Meanwhile, sane Nigerians who condemned this madness are already being proved right. Tinubu's desperation is already dividing Nigeria along religious lines. Expect more of such attacks and counter attacks in the coming days and weeks between Christians and Muslims, in a country that is already polarized. That's what the wicked old man wants.

The crises Tinubu wants to cause in Nigeria will consume him and his Agbado urchins. Nigeria is bigger than his worthless ambition!!!

When some of us were rooting for a southern Christian APC candidate, was it not this David Babachir Lawal and others were carrying Tinubu's candidature upandan. It's not a problem at all, if you're not comfortable with Muslim Muslim ticket you choose another option. Na must to vote APC?

Ddeliverer007:
Only Yoruba Muslims would vote for baba chicago

Forget matter, Yoruba Christians, Muslims, Ifa worshippers etc will vote for him, he is their son and leader. Tribe comes before religion if you don't know

Honjoshy4u:
Adeleke is flying to victory

For where?

SenatePresdo:
Peter obi would get more votes in SW, than Tinubu would get in SS, not to talk of South East.

Are you serious? May be you don't stay in Yoruba land. Anyway till then

SHINJA:
Igbo gals and house work sha...

If no be house work na olosho work..

Thank God for our Southwest gals ..

God bless southsouth and southwest

Your SS gals do house work and olosho work more than Igbo gals. If you know you know

gift2xl:
Laughable.
This is my observation

The Muslim fight for there God
Christian fight for their pastor's, G.Os and allow there God to fight for himself and for them.

Peace!!

Your observation is correct, while independent Christians no send them pastors or any name they bear apart from God. These church goers label us unbelievers because we no follow for their worship of man

SenatePresdo:
Only A party, Ethnic and Religious fanatic that would vote for Such Devlish ticket.

One thing I like about the Yorubas, is that they are liberals.
I think they are the most Liberal Ethnic group in Nigeria, especially their Christians.

And Tinubu just failed them.

Yoruba Christians will certainly vote their son and leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Know this and know peace

BOOKWORMLUX:
Lalasticlala do you agree with this wicked man?

E go shock you

Goddey18:
Tinubu has made his choice. He has shown clearly that he has no regards for Christians. So it is left for us to do the needful.
We can't be second class citizens in our own country.
I'm so happy he made this choice. Any attempt to rig this election will be fiercely resisted by the youths. You can't take us for granted after enthroning this disaster of a president on us. We are ready to fight dirty with you this time around.

I feel your emotions, but Tinubu must win this election for APC and the surest way to winning is by using a majority group which is Muslim North being somebody from minority Southern Muslim.
I want to tell you that Christians like you are not on this same page with you. You don't expect a Yoruba Christian who is a religious liberal to jettison their brother because of religion. I stay in Lagos and I have found out that Yorubas are more culturally inclined than religiously inclined.
They will campaign and vote for him starting from the pulpits.
Tinubu will only lose if North pull an anti- party against him.
Tinubu may look old and frail but he is a good candidate that can think and act independently
He is a master strategist and executioner, you can't take that away from him

When some of us were rooting for an Amaechi or Osibanjo during the primaries we knew issues like this will surely arise.
Tinubu has chosen the lesser evil, it will be easy to pacify his people on his choice than to pacify the northern Muslims had it been he chose a northern Christian who are in the minority
Yoruba Christians being liberals will surely vote Tinubu since he is their leader whom they loved dearly. Then he will get votes from the north being in the ruling party
Tinubu's choice of Shettima is strategic for APC to retain power in 2023
Nobody should ever blame or write Tinubu off as the name of the game is win.

zionstaar75:
am very sad and angry because Nigeria is at risk with this ticket but he'll likely win.all d Muslims will vote for him and alot of yoruba Christians too.this is a sad period in Nigeria history,even my church members are saying they'll vote for him.very sad

You just stated the reality, Tinubu will win SW as the Christians from SW don't bother about this Muslim Muslim ticket crap.
Muslims up north will vote Tinubu overwhelmingly thru the influence of their governors
SE will go to Obi, then SS will be shared between Atiku, Tinubu and Obi
Money will play a very big factor since poverty, joblessness is endemic in Nigeria.
I see many Nigerians selling their votes in 2023, any candidate with huge financial muscle may end up winning the elections. Tinubu remains a candidate to beat and he might win the election

OptimistBrain:
Dear Obidients. Please read this without bias.

Obi is the right man for the job as it stands but this election will either be between APC and PDP... I would have voted and fully support Obi if either Osibanjo or Ameachi were on the ballot for APC, not minding who wins.

But as it stands, a vote for Peter obi will only increase the chances of Tinubu winning the election. Most Peter obi supporters are from the South south, south East and North Central which are PDP strong holds. It will only split PDP votes and give Tinubu an edge.

Please if you are not in support of Muslim-Muslim ticket, pls vote PDP, if not the country will be governed by the Muslim for 24 straight years.

Peter Obi will not win in any APC strong hold. He will only split the PDP votes in the south there by giving APC an edge.

Peter Obi is the best candidate, but PDP is definitely better than APC. A vote for Obi as it stands is a vote indirectly for APC.

Please vote wisely.

Tinubu is better than Atiku, so forget this your matter

Reinaldo:
I am Yoruba and we are voting Peter Obi.

Forget that, Yorubas will vote Tinubu
Yoruba Christians no send Muslim Muslim ticket at all so far a Yoruba man is the presidential candidate.
Yorubas are religious liberals and not religious rigids like SE,SS and North.
They will vote overwhelmingly for Tinubu, know this and know peace. Tinubu will win all the 6 Yoruba states by wide margin

jkpbestseries:
Even Buhari told Tinubu today that the final Match is between Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar

How did he say that ?

SadiqBabaSani:
We wait for him

I am glad Tinubu Dared all Nigerian Christians.

His candidature was a flawed one bur because of his greed Mr Agbado and Cassava refused to allow a more competent Osibanjo or Amaechi believing that he can buy his way through everything, now the battle line is drawn between Tinubu and all Nigerian Christians whom Tinubu holds in high contempt.

I am waiting to see RCCG campaign for him and see the bundles of people that will leave the Church

Forget matter, Yoruba Christians and pastors will vote and as well work for him.
Tribe comes before religion in Yoruba land and they are very rigid culturally and liberal religiously
If North votes Tinubu, he will win the elections
The only Christians that won't vote him are SE and northern Christians with some SS Christians

VoteObi2023:
Lies

The only reason they will not oppose it vehemently is tribalism. Will they vote for a Moslem Moslem ticket if the president is from Edo?

NEVER

If you stay in Lagos you will understand what I mean

tunapawizzy:
Don't rule out the shaky shaky daddy too, they are seriously wooing Wike already, man is dancing to their tune...although its unimaginable but if APC gets Rivers by chance, then it's over. Obi and Atiku already cancel each other out in the south east and south south, the north is tricky because APC has lots of governors...so that eats into any dominance Atiku should have, the south west where i come from will most likely be won by APC for obvious reasons(sadly tribal sentiment still a thing in 2022) kwankwaso will eat into some of Atikus sure number in the north too.

You are a good political analyst, Tinubu's team are really doing a great work. Tinubu can only fail this election if the APC governors in the north work against their party in 2023 and vote massively for Atiku

OBoy50:
Who are those causing religious division and crisis in Nigeria?
YORUBA MUSLIMS!
Even the northern Muslims are against such combo because all Nigeria wants now is unity! I will keep saying this! Tinubu will never smell aso rock...and if he does but crook, we will end NIGERIA.

But you are not God for saying this.If he campaign and do his homework he will win the election just like any other candidate have chance of winning till after counting of votes

VoteObi2023:
Yoruba Christians are not buying into anything. Only a few of them.

Pastor Abioye of LFC Abuja

Bishop Oyedepo of LFC, Ota

Baba Adeboye of RCCG

Pastor Kumuyi of Deeper Life

Will NEVER endorse Moslem-Moslem ticket and these are the biggest Yoruba pastors

These people will not oppose it vehemently like Christians or pastors from SE, SS or northern Nigeria.
In Yoruba land culture comes first before religion
