FallenShitHole:
I pity all you one nigerianis Igbos. Even if you get 20million registered PVC which is very possible because we Igbos are the most populated in nigeria (don't mind their fraudulent census figures), will it ever count for Peter Obi to win in this nigeria that we all know? Who controls and is in charge of the PVC/election process? The fulanis!!
Everyone can remember what happened in 2019 in Lagos. Igbos made sure that PDP/Ambode won the election, but what happened after? APC/Sanwo Olu was handed the victory. How can we forget the yoruba agbero violence against Igbos at Okota? Now they are repeating the same violence against Igbos in only 24 hours after Tinubu bought APC candidacy. Imagine the violence they will visit on Igbos on election day knowing that Igbos are over half the population of Lagos and Labour Party/Peter Obi stands to win in Lagos..

You just lied about Ambode contesting under the PDP. That is not true. Learn to say things the way they are.

bjtinz:
Abeg you guys should save all the long yeye analysis. Tinubu won because of his deep pockets and largely corrupt, hungry delegates. End. There was no way Osinbajo could match the dollar rain

My real concern is people, youth in particular are already looking forward to a Tinubu presidency (nightmare!!!) This is someone I could barely make out what he was saying during the acceptance speech.

Seriously, What is WRONG with you Nigerians?

Sigh ☹️

You have said it all. His deep pocket and the corrupt delegates handed him the ticket.

RaptObserver:
No amount of calming down will save him if he doesn't pick a Christian. But then, if he picks a Muslim he has a better chance of winning Northern votes massively because his campaign agents will simply tell them up North that the president and vice are Muslims so their interests are protected. But then, if Atiku wins that is the end of one Nigeria because all the parties won't gamble with fielding a Southern candidate again in a presidential election. So southerners who still want to remain in this country must support Tinubu regardless of the religion of his VP. This is based on political expediency not sentiments.

Is Tinubu the only southern Presidential candidate? Why use the word: must ?

Honor10:
Only South East people are yet to come to that reality.

Tinubu is winning 2023 election landslide, ATiku can only try.


Don't take my word for it, it is just 6 months time, you can screenshot this.

With the poverty and hunger he and his party have unleashed on Nigerians? Like someone said, I want to see how he will buy the conscience of Nigerians with his ill gotten wealth.

Greenscientist:
How is osinbajo better than Tinubu?

This is an honest question, please?

He is not as greedy as Tinubu. This is an honest answer.

NaughtyBrainiac:
Most of the people saying Tinubu is a Thief and that Osinbajo is the man for the job are only being sentimental. Have they forgotten that this same "Thief" produced Osinbajo!

There are several other people Tinubu could have used for the job.

On the other hand, you guys are shouting Osinbajo Osinbajo, can Osinbajo even stand a Fashola who is also one of Tinubu's products?

I hate sentiments. It is okay to support Osinbajo ( I also love the man) but it is absolutely wrong to support Osinbajo and bad mouth Tinubu. Most of you guys doing this attend RCCG and other churches. It is more of an RCCG/Christianity sentiments. Whether Tinubu or Osinbajo emerges, it is very okay.

Tinubu should not be bad mouthed because of Osinbajo's ambition, Tinubu does not deserve being called names!

Are you saying the son of a thief cannot be responsible and that of a pastor cannot be a thief?

Mazing:
10k for the first two persons who predicts the criminal that will win Apc primary tonight. Just quote this comment of mine with the name of the thief.

Lawan

cana882:
Accountability is one factor ostracized in Nigerian politics. Else, this man should have released a public apology which will be followed by his immediate resignation.
But like I said, Nigeria has expunged the accountability factor from its politics.

Who among the aspirants is accountable?

Theoarhics:
But if the south vote Peter Obi and the north vote for a northern person, the north would win and still be president of Nigeria. I think we just need to find a common ground..

That is not true. The core North can never win a united South

TheNiceGuy:
This is the stage where men will be separated from boys.

If you can't win ticket without Consensus agreement, how do you want to win general election!

Just thinking aloud

Primary elections especially of this kind are won by moneybags. Atiku and Wike of the PDP readily come to mind. On the other hand, the people and political interest determine the outcome of the general election. Political moneybags don't.

Same way Buhari was the best thing after sliced bread

Who cares about the APC and her primary that will certainly throw up another thief ? Anyway, the PDP is not any different.

Reinaldo:
You can't handle the truth.

Which truth? Osinbajo that is part of Buhari's government that has unleashed severe hardship, hunger and poverty on Nigerians. Hope must certainly mean a different thing in your dictionary.

Reinaldo:
He's Nigeria's only hope.

Liar

Mooh247:
Lol

Same Buhari that couldn't influence his cousins victory in his own constituency and his personal assistant lost in Kano

Una go see Buhari cry like a baby again

It is a matter of 48hours, the real boss will chase away the heroine bagman that has since been impersonating him.

Mooh247:
Tinubu isn't accepting. Be a man a face us at Eagles square

Why is he complaining? Anyway, Buhari has accepted his challenge at the Eagle Square. I will remind you who is the boss in this game between Tinubu and Buhari.

Mooh247:
Ok then the best is free and fair primaries, if you don't like that then you have a deeply rooted problem


.

So, you don't want consensus to be applied to Tinubu who has been using consensus to recruit his foot soldiers since time immemorial. Consensus is an option and Tinubu must accept it because that is what he he has meted out to others.

pitit:
Jagaban Borgu . The man that singlehandedly reformed policing in Lagos by bringing the RRS which has til today been the most equipped and best police division in the country. That is exactly why we are supporting this man

An heroine bagman who , out of cheer greed, turned Lagos choicest property to his private property while still collecting 10% of the State's IGR. Such an unrepentant thief can never be the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I care less if you make him the President and Head of your family.

drlateef:
You are lying. He has not been in system for 16 years. The last time he ruled, he added value to Lagos and laid foundation for its development. So you are lying.

What do you gain by lying blatantly in a public forum?

Who is the head of the rotten system in Lagos since 1999?

I see, it is me and you and not the common thief from Iragbiji who, due to insatiable greed, has converted Lagos choicest property to his own including 10% of the State IGR.

drlateef:
You still have 100 years of suffering if your hatred for Tinubu makes you support misrule to continue.

Is Tinubu himself not synonymous to the misrule? He is part of rot in our system and has nothing to offer.

johnwizey:
Obviously Tinubu is a lot of peoples nightmare. He actually stands a better chance of winning regardless of whoever Buhari picks

Which yeye better Nigeria does he stand for? The one he created in Iragbiji or the one in Lagos and in MC Oluomo? Please, talk another thing.

"Annointing oil"

shinealight:
Look….after Rawlings ruled Ghana for 19 years, he tried to impose a preferred successor on the people but his candidate was roundly defeated. It’s only here in Nigeria you guys try to turn Buhari into a demigod. He is free to name his preferred candidate but the person can still be defeated…..Anointing Oil or no anointing oil. You guys should muster some Confidence in yourselves….after all Buhari himself was defeated three times before someone came to his rescue!

Let us watch and see how powerful Tinubu is. I will remind you about this after the convention.

shinealight:
What stopped anybody from coming out to contest against Santo-Olu? If you’re sure of yourself, nobody is stopping you from doing so!

Tinubu and his "anointing oil". Same will be served to him very soon. Once Buhari names his anointed candidate, Tinubu is free to contest against him.

shinealight:
What do you have Delegates for at Indirect Primaries? Is it democratic for Buhari to make the Delegates redundant and usurp their powers? Yes, the generality of the citizens will vote at the general election but the Delegates who are Representatives of the people at grassroots level must also be allowed to vote at the Primaries. Simplicita!

How many persons contested against Sanwo-Olu? Tinubu is anything but democratic.

shinealight:
Does he not allow Lagosians to vote for his preferred candidate or reject him on every occasion? If the others are truly popular in Lagos, they will beat Tinubu’s candidate hands down. That’s all Tinubu is asking for……let there be a contest at the Primaries…..he’s sure he can beat Buhari’s candidate! That’s democracy!!

Will Nigerians not also vote to decide who becomes the President? There is nothing like democratic about Tinubu, so he is not in any position to reject Buhari’s concensus candidate.

lugado:
For the records Tinubu did not impose anyone on Ambode. Their was a primary election and Ambode lost. So pls correct statement

And who chose Fashola's successor?

Delegates?

Fasholar?

lugado:
Two wrongs can never make a right. If the governors are doing it doesn't mean it's right.
Buhari is the president of Nigeria. He should lead by example . He should not be following what the governors are doing.
Besides the governors do not wait for the last minute before expressing their intentions. It saves a lot of stress and it removes controversy
The presidency cannot be compared to any office in Nigeria
If Buhari had performed very well during his tenure it would have given a lot of clout and confidence to announce his successor early.
But right now ,honestly nobody trust his decisions anymore.
That's why people have the confidence to come out to contest

But Tinubu should not benefit from it.

shinealight:
The President does not have any “right” to seek to choose a successor….in a democracy, that right belongs to the people and they must be allowed to exercise it. Goons like you Suleiman Musa should also desist from turning Buhari into a demigod.
What Nonsense!

How about Tinubu choosing the governors of Lagos since 2007? If anybody should complain about concensus, it should not be Tinubu.

OyeofIkoTuN:
First I wanna to correct that impression that "dominant people see it as an insult to the office of the presidency not president"..

I like to say we nairalanders were shocked just like the presidency.. We don't see it as an insult,we were just shocked.

Secondly we both know that are no channels to reach him...Ear infection and boss is hardly around.. Envision an adventurer for starters

Thirdly I will advise you stop drinking panadol for another man's headache not just another man,oga boss!..His tenure will come and go.

Lastly not only did the presidency not read past the first paragraph,we know letter did not pass second gate at the Aso villa..

Thanks for letting us know you are a senior member of the ndi oshi cartel....More grease to your stealing elbows

The correct form of this peculiarly British English expression is “more power to your elbow".

Yahweh cannot choose someone that does not believe in His begotten son, Yeshua.
