Mooh247:
Are you also in shetima's mind?! And which imaginary Northern intrest are you speaking of?!

The northern interest is the corridor of power that their founding fathers bequeathed to them.

Mooh247:
That's Muazu's personal decision and your opinion

Shetima is far invested and loyal to Tinubu even before politics since the days of Zenith Bank, same as all other allies of his I mentioned so you might only dream of betrayal but such men don't roll that way

Are you in his mind? Besides, the northern interest is far bigger than Tinubu, Shettima, the whole south and you. Their founding fathers fought for it. This present northern leaders will preserve it.

Mooh247:
Was it not Jonathan , PDP and DSS , that investigated him for involvement in Boko haram activities even when Ameachi was still a PDP member?!

So what's hypocrisy in calling him what PDP called him

The hypocrisy is in calling him a Bokoharam sympathizer because he is not serving the interest of his paymaster.

Mooh247:
The wife of Zullum's deputy governor is Tinubu's Northern women support group leader and they have been campaigning about they even went to Katsina Governors house together

Kashim Shettima delevered inuguaration speech at Tinubu support group event in Abuja and since then followed and toured with Tinubu everywhere

Shekarau and Ganduje both said it countless time that they are for Tinubu

Except you are blinded by sentiment you won't even argue this

Did Muazu not support Jonathan in the open in 2015? Where was his allegiance when it mattered most? Forget all these smoke screens. When the elections are closer, you will know where the pendulum is swinging to. The National Working Committee selection should have been an eye opener.

Mooh247:
Since when is this Boko haram black lipped man representative of entire north

Zulum, Kashim Shettima, Ahmed Lawan already identified with Bola Ahmed Tinubu

If he was supporting Tinubu, he will not be a Bokoharam sympathizer. When will you drop this hypocrisy toga of yours?

deltaprincess:
How many Fulanis are contesting for Presidency?

Don't you reason that Fulanis would sympathize more with Tinubu than Osinbajo? As Tinubu being a Muslim?

There is nothing like sympathy when it comes to Northern politics. It is their interest first before any other thing. Tinubu, you and I cannot change it.

There is also no difference between a southern christian and a southern Muslim in the eyes of the North. Tinubu's Islamic inclination therefore is of no value to Northern politics.

The fact that most yoruba traditional institutions are in support of Tinubu makes it even difficult for the North to rally round him. Rather, they will prefer a political orphan like Amaechi. This is the same reason they chose Obasanjo over Olu Falae in 1999.

The North doesn't joke with their strength - power

deltaprincess:
Olodo!!

Tinubu has Kano, Lagos states at his disposal. He doesn't need Kaduna state.

It appears you are a very poor student of History. Tinubu never strikes until he has planned and strategize his path.

He singlehandedly defeated OBJ with all the Federal dictatorial might OBJ displayed. Now how much more a mere non-political VP with little or no experience in Politics.

That was when the people were with him. Can he single handedly defeat the presidency now? Fulanis are loyal to fulanis first before any other tribe.

johnpalmer774:
You told nothing mr Man, this interview was yesterday morning before APC NEC meeting .Indirect primary was adopted few hours after this interview so get your fact right

Where is your evidence?

Parachoko:
No mind that guy wey dey think 1.7 trillion is a small money.

Even Tinubu no get am for account. The Lagos State Government can't even raise such a money from him if they want to.

The guy nor know wetin e dey talk. E think say 1.7 trillion na beans.

Nigeria's presidency is not meant for money bags.

AntonVince:
Trust me he'll do that if need be; such is the level of his desperation.
...and he definitely has the (stolen) resources to do that.

I don't think so no matter how desperate he may seem to be. 1.7 trillion naira is about 10% of Nigeria's 2022 budget.

bigpicture001:
You can't beat tinubu at the indirect primary... He will hand delegates 1million dollars each

You mean Tinubu would spend at least 1.7 trillion naira just to win the primary election? Your must be joking.

flokii:
My question for him is this... is SE secure? how will Igbo candidate secure Nigeria when IPOB terrorists hold sway in their region?

Between SW and SE, which one is more secure?.. Igbos should go and fix their mess of a region first before coming to ask for presidency.
We don't want a person that will spend years begging and offering IPOBs amnesty and juicy contracts while the county continues to sink.

I have only one question for you. What is equity?

Slurity:
Bringing Buhari to power is not a mistake, Jonathan is a total disappointment at that time and majority want him out so the option of Buhari. Anybody can defeat Ebele that time because Nigerians are just too tired with his failures. Buhari however did somethings right and many things wrong. This his late action of pardon is a another one wrong too many. Buhari really ridicule Nigeria by that action and it is good that people that once praise him attack him on that. Soyika is still doing the right thing.

Bringing Buhari to power was a monumental mistake. Nigerians had rejected him 3 consecutive times prior to 2015. The rejection was not accidental but was based on his antecedent.

Simply say SW wanted Jonathan out and the Northern oligarch wanted power at all cost. This was what blinded them from whom Buhari really was.

Jonathan may not have performed satisfactorily well but he was a lesser evil. His performance indices when juxtaposed with Buhari's military era lay credence to this.

What about 2019? Was Jonathan in the equation? Did Buhari not still win most of the SW states? 2019 actually exposed the reason behind the alliance of SW politics with the North in 2015. It was not because of the alleged non-performance of Jonathan. It was all about power shift.

simpleseyi:
Buhari who could not help himself to be President on three failed attempts until he came to Bourdillon to beg Tinubu. Is it such a dummy that will help someone to be President?

Who made hin president in 2019? Tinubu?

Justiceleague1:
But tinubu that ushered in the evil govt is welcome onboard,huh

No, he is not. Even age is not on his side. Let us learn to call a spade a spade. We need someone with a sterling achievement in human and resources management and not oratory or paper achievement. This government has battered our economy and a drastic measure is needed.

Justiceleague1:
You Nigerians are something else really..how do you expect Osinbajo to do anything when he's not the president??!!!!
You Nigerians really don't know what'sgood for you

Then, he should have resigned to clear his name. You cannot exonerate Osinbajo from this nightmare of a government. He is the assistant captain of the ship and they have all failed.

Hmmn. This is really interesting. I really wished Nigerians would listen to the voice of reason. At this stage in Nigeria, we need someone who can prudently block the leakages fleecing our country while prioritizing human capacity development, strategic infrastructural upliftment, production and technology

But Jonathan serve from 2010 to 2015. That na 5years na. Anyway, I support true federalism governed by a constitution by Nigerians and for Nigerians.

SledgeHammerer:
There are statutory delegates and three elected delegates per state.
It'll be around 8000 eventually.

Okay

SledgeHammerer:
This is the breakdown of the 7800 APC delegates that will determine the fate of the APC presidential aspirants.






Numbers of APC national delegates according to their geo-political zones and state.

Zones ���
North West: 1, 924 delegates
South West: 1,568 delegates
North Central: 1,278 delegates
North East: 1, 212 delegates.
South East: 838 delegates.
South south 927 delegates.
Total = 7,800 Delegates

State���
Kano: 465 delegates; Katsina, 384, Borno, 324; Osun, 308; Lagos, 304, Oyo 292; Jigawa, 266; Niger, 251; Ogun, 248 and Nasarawa 245 delegates.Abia has 154, Adamawa 184, Akwa Ibom 165, Anambra 163, Bauchi 202, Bayelsa 79, Benue 180, Cross River 194, Delta 170, Ebonyi 154, Edo 168, Ekiti 216, Enugu 131, Gombe 134, Imo 236, Kaduna 234 and Kebbi 213.Kogi 222, Kwara 195, Ondo 200, Plateau 185, Rivers 151, Sokoto 193, Taraba 146, Yobe 222, Zamfara 169 and FCT 53.

But the total is not 7800

Who are the people that voted in the poll? It is not enough to just declare him as the favourite without recourse to the data or the kind of people that participated in the poll. If the people that participated are not a true reflection of those that will pick the APC flag bearer, then, the result of this poll is nothing but a comic entertainment.

Blablamalala:
Where is Nuhu Ribadu today? Food for thought Great2017.

Why are you changing the goal post? After the 2023 general elections, we will look for Tinubu and he will be nowhere.

Lest I forgot, you wanted an evidence of Tinubu's sellout and betrayal and you were hit below the bet. Tinubu is a betrayal.

Blablamalala:
This is a shallow response. I was expecting that you would outrightly give your deep explanations in an elaborate way. "Google is your friend" is mostly an escape route for those who are actually lacking in knowledge about a subject they claim to know.

Will I always spoon feed you.

The very words of Tinubu :

Speaking at Onikan Stadium during an Ndigbo APC governorship rally on Saturday, Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, said “In 2011, I helped Jonathan become President because he made us believe he was a breath of fresh air.”

“I didn’t say because he was from Bayelsa that I would not help him. We voted for him because he promised to make our lives better. But now, he has failed us.”

Yet, Ribadu was the presidential flag bearer of the ACN.

And Ribadu had this to say:

DAILY POST recalls that in August, Ribadu in a statement explaining why he dumped the APC for PDP, confirmed that he was traded in 2011 polls. The statement reads in part: “I’m a young man and age is still on my side. I will not allow anyone to trade with me for the second time.

Who traded him in 2011?

Tinubu did.

Blablamalala:
It affects it square. It's about perspectives. A view of an insider is not the same as one from the outside.

Okay. My view is from both inside and outside.

Blablamalala:
When was that?

Google is your friend, please.

Blablamalala:
Are you a Muslim from the South or the North? I want to understand you better. If you are not at all then I have nothing more to say.

How does that affect our discussion? Simply put, I am a Nigerian.

Blablamalala:
How did Tinubu betray Ribadu?

Giving him ticket and campaigning against him at the same time. What do you call that? Deception and betrayal

Dsalvo:
Not putting his money behind Ribadu is not betraying him. He at least gave Ribadu a platform we all knew was ceremonial, as PDP could not be defeated back then, whereas OBJ cut off Ribadu and El Rufai who served him so well

Okay, it is called deception. So he deceived Ribadu using his AC platform. What a shame?

What about the betrayal of Alliance for Democracy (AD)? The platform that made him a governor. When we talk about loyalty, Tinubu should not be mentioned.

Dsalvo:
Tinubu is not their God but he has their respect because he never treats them disdainfully as 'cannon fodders' who do not matter at all and can be neglected, disrespected and even disgraced till he needs their help.

Tinubu is no ingrate and he is not dishonorable .

His peers, which does not include members of the public like you, know his word is bond and someone to back/support in the sure knowledge they will be paid back benevolently and not with treachery, ingratitude, disloyalty wickedness and career death.

Are you talking about the same Tinubu that betrayed Ribadu? You must be living in another planet.

Blablamalala:
Politics is a game of arousing sentiments in your favour. Of course if a Muslim who is a Yoruba man is contesting against a Fulani man such comes to play. But if a Fulani man is to choose between two Yorubas, a Muslim and a Christian, he will rather choose the one with affinity to his own faith no matter. That's how it plays.

Not when the Christian is been supported by the Fulani political class. Before the Fulanis, there is actually no difference between a southern Christian and a southern Muslim. You can take this to the bank.

Blablamalala:
Is inconsequential.

To you, it is inconsequential but to the Northern politicians, it is not inconsequential when that is what is zoned to them.
