trutharena: I like the guy response to his foolish friend that don’t have a brain of his own to think.
You will see supposedly graduate capping that Tinubu own this, own that, own those, and I will be like how and how?
Let’s even agree Tinubu owns all the building in Lagos, at least he invested it in his state and not like the likes of Peter Obi thief that prefer stuffing his money in offshore Panama to help other country men.
PassingShot: Good for you if you stopped reading. However, you need to produce evidence that the president is backing him. Anything short of that remains a figment of imagination of you guys.
Tell me you are joking with your insinuation that PYO will be more acceptable than BAT
stop,just stop. Do you know how much SS AND SE hate BAT? Nairaland is enough evidence you want. By the way is Osinbajo not a Yoruba, why are you selling him for BAT if not for selfish reason?
Tinubu is behind the Lagos of today, let’s try not to turn blind eyes to good things
The Lagos that has stable electricity, the Lagos without bad roads,the Lagos that have the best hospital in Africa, where tinubu treated himself when he was sick,let's not turn blind eyes to it.
PassingShot: I read a NL thread https://www.nairaland.com/7077990/why-tinubu-lose-osinbajo-apc#up suggesting reasons why PYO will defeat BAT in the APC primary election to select who flies the ticket of the party in 2023 and I could not help but to laugh at the naivety and desperation of the writer. Well, without paying any attention to the weak and unfounded reasons he presented in his article, I make bold to advance the following arguments to conclude that Jagaban Borgu remains the only candidate who will win the primary contest, barring any last-minute jettisoning of primaries for consensus which is not even contained in the constitution of APC.
1. Tinubu’s political structure and machineries Even, his political foes will attest to the fact that BAT has built a well-oiled political structure that has not only survived the best of political warriors in OBJ and GEJ (with federal might), his structure has endured the worst of political earthquake and has remained very solid and functioning. In the primary contest for the presidential candidate which will be decided by delegates from APC across the 36 states, Tinubu structure will come in hand to deliver the goods.
2. BAT’s political alliance This is somewhat related to the first point but not entirely the same. In the course of single-handedly building and strengthening his political base (ACN), Tinubu it was who took ACN into alliance with CPC, ANPP, a faction of APGA and a faction of PDP. In fact, most political watchers agreed that the 2 most important figures in that successful alliance that produced APC are Buhari and Tinubu. The rest were only needed to make up the numbers and the spread. BAT has since that alliance built a working relationship with strong politicians in the north. The likes of Ganduje, Ribadu, Ado Dogawa, Ahmed Lawan, etc. are staunch Tinubu’s supporters who will deliver the delegates from that side of the country.
3. Neutrality of PMB PMB remains a political juggernaut whose support and influence can, to some extent determine who wins the APC ticket. From what I have read and heard, it was this support that Osinbajo was looking for that delayed his declaration. Unfortunately for him, PMB did not assure him of anything, instead preferring to be neutral and asking all the contestants to work hard to win the ticket. While it is possible for PMB to have a preference for PYO (highly doubtful), Buhari has demonstrated many times that he handles situations like this with utmost maturity and fairness to all involved. If he has forgotten how BAT deployed his resources to make him defeat Atiku and Kwankwaso in 2014 and to win the presidency in 2015 and 2019, he will surely be reminded by his close allies like Ganduje and the Senate President of this fact. And Buhari will choose to remain neutral. It is PYO who needs PMB so much and not the other way round.
4. Clear message of endorsement by the APC Senate and Rep Caucuses Not many watchers of political development will have missed the enormous support Tinubu enjoys from the APC senators and representatives. They are not hiding it and they have been saying it loud and clear even to the hearing of PYO. You only need to watch the Senate session when BAT paid the APC caucus a visit to intimate them of his ambition. You can also listen to Ado Doguwa’s recent interview on the same subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqe6AQllcPA and here https://www.nairaland.com/7079123/doguwa-speaks-bola-tinubus-aspiration. I also read that of the seventy-something invited by PYO for Iftar, only 24 or so honored the invitation with majority of them spotting facemask with BAT logo. These speak volume about their position. They are the people that matter in this election and they are not politicians you can intimidate to change their mind. They believe in BAT and they are ready to reward his past support for them too.
5. Osinbajo has no political structure After seven years of being the VP of Nigeria, it is a fact that PYO has no political base or structure of note with which he can be guaranteed of delegates votes. This is someone who lost his polling booth in the last general election. Irrespective of whatever sentiment anyone in the party top hierarchy may want to have for a PYO candidacy, they will realize what a dangerous option his candidacy represents for their party and they will bury the thought without wasting time.
6. Perception of PYO as someone who cannot be trusted Like it or not, Osinbajo’s declaration has portrayed him as someone who cannot be relied upon. In politics, the currency is loyalty and anyone who is perceived as not loyal is usually avoided by those who matter. Even among those currently propping the professor on, there are those who will be murmuring within their heart that the VP cannot be trusted not to betray them at some point, especially if he becomes president and thus untouchable. I will personally be weary of such character too. Yes, he has the constitutional right to contest but he has thrown morality to the dustbin by standing up to challenge his one-time political mentor. I read a piece about how Tiinubu reluctantly agreed for Osinbajo to be the running mate to PMB out of the three names suggested to him. The fact that BAT’s choice was still going to be picked and that he eventually agreed to PYO being named as the running mate is enough for our erstwhile star boy to abandon his ambition for BAT’s.
Anyway, let’s see how far the support of sycophants and traducers of Tinubu can carry him in his quest to wrestle APC’s ticket from Jagaban.
Passingshot (O.S. Olayiwola)
I stopped reading when I saw PMB neutrality. So you actually think Buhari will hand over Asorock to thief? Well,Tinubu is more popular within APC no doubt,But the question should be,who will be more accepted by the masses more. Tell me which SS and SE state will choose tinubu over Osinbajo,just tell me.
sokera: yes I am in support of any of them … as long as it’s not going to Igbo land and Fulani land … thank you
guys,you need to understand that this is not about tribalism. For me,I can vote for Osinbajo, or Ameachi. But I can't vote for tinubu,orji kalu and atiku. It's about integrity that's all. Let's be honest,tinubu couldn't have made so much money without stealing from Lagos state by proxy. Orji is a thief,he out of prison because of Nigeria bad system. Atiku has been said to by corrupt too. As it stand Osinbajo and Ameachi are the best candidate so far. Guys let's support what is good.
sokera: that is your problem , what I know is Tinubu is Osibanjo and Osibanjo is Tinubu… you don’t know anything about politics
. If you like called osinbajo tinubu, we want Osinbajo,that ole can never smell Asorock. He should continue enjoying Lagos money,that Nigeria money he is eyeing is bigger than him. Tank u
sokera: you guys are jobless and hypocrites… you are out there to support anything or anyone against Tinubu…that is why Igbos don’t know how to play politics … For your information whatever is making you scared of Tinubu is the same thing you will find in Osibanjo… Tinubu, Fashola and Osibanjo are same political ideology … if you are scared Tinubu will show a lot of love to yoruba ppl if he becomes president then know today that Osibanjo will show more love than Tinubu… whichever way is a win for the south-west … whoever win the APC primary election btw Tinubu or Osibanjo will get 100 percent votes from the Yoruba people … so it’s better you face your PDP and Peter Obi now … because what will jam PDP will be their final burial
Have you asked why they don't want tinubu and want Osibanjo a Yoruba man? If not for selfishness your likes are supposed to also hate tinubu,but no,you can't reason properly. Spit on your forehead
This one music carrier is death and buried, he's trying to resurrect it at all means , so he think licking the mere commissioner asshole will resurrect his death music carrier. Waste of time.
when I say O, you say B, another man say I. Add those letters together, you'll see the man fitted for the job.
At least he has a career that was up before, what about you and your father? Who know both of you?
blazingblender: I wonder how women feel comfortable wearing this But when they are raped they will be shouting men are beast But damn you seduced the beast
Very nonsense post. As much as we all knw such revealing dressing is bad,but it should not be an invitation to rape,it's their body.
colorsofrainbow: Nigerians and idiotic noise. "Nobody fit scam me, nobody fit scam me" but dem use this picture scam all of the zombies for 2014. A lot of zombies are in shame, looking for where to hide.
APC's scam format was clinical
lol. They scammed all of us,u included. They look like they were on the mission to rescue Nigeria, turned to be a disaster. Never again, lol.
SonofLothbrok: If you guys think we will have pity on any police men or soldiers that are killed by unknown gun men. Then you guys must be foolish.
I will support any group that fights for the people.
Yesterday they killed an Igbo guy that went to collect PVC card. Is that one a police man or soldier? On Monday they killed a driver just because he disobeyed sir at home order,is he a police man or soldier? Did it occur to you that the family of this killed igbos may have supported UGM before now? Don't worry,continue supporting evil all in the name of fight for freedom. We shall see las las.

2nd Video Unknown gunmen send warning to those planning to vote in the South East.
Now I see why PMB proscribed Ipob. They are fools,idiot
Russia is a supper power just like U.S.. Can't U.S respect them by stopping this NATO expansion? What does US stand to gain if World war break out?There will be no winner in a war fought with nukes,why not avoid this with everything possible?
DesChyko: If Lagosians aren't complaining, please let them be. Even we that 'practice democracy' have had unpopular choice foisted on us by the FG like in my home state.
You cannot cry more than the bereaved.
Keep quiet if you have nothing to contribute. Lagos are not complaining but they want to force the man on every Nigerian. Let him keep ruling Lagos and leave Nigeria alone.
