NNPP should win that state before 2pm on election day...na serious rigging save Ganduje on 2019...how he is going to escape this let's all wait and see

I really don't see how...with how selfish I know Buhari to be, nah all man for himself...and as it is evident in the way and manner his close allies lost out in the APC primaries, many will be shocked.

oluwadabira111:
NNPP are only gonna win some seat...lol...the governon seat is 75% sure for them brr...

Reason Ganduje is always gluing tight to Tinubu, he knows the atrocities he has committed as Governor. He so much desires to be VP to shield him for the impending missiles from the Kwankwassiya group after 2023.

Jestin:
With people like Buhari and Tinubu as president, Nigeria can never attain the level of hosting a World Cup. We still have a very long to go as a country.

But with a stingy candidate Nigeria will be able to host the World Cup abi? Very hilarious

Someone like Atiku could be able to pull it of sha, considering he's a lover of sports and participates in it himself. Tinubu's Lagos encourages sports and entertaining events. But on the other hand, Obi doesn't seem to have time for those things "wasteful spending", except he appoints round pegs in round holes, whose advices he would listen to.

Concerning potential development of sports, entertainment industry and host of major tourney in Nigeria, this is how they rank..

1. Atiku
2.Tinubu
3. Obi/ Kwankwaso

Note: Each may be useless or useful in other areas, but in my opinion, this is how they rank in Sports considering their antecedents

Dapson73:
Bros be calming down .

Las las, the sharing formula will change.

He will negotiate high this time as it may be his last chance in such powerful seat in Nigeria.

Now if them no gree , he will now show them pepper.

Mind you he can still be impeached as most senates will switch their loyalties from him as he's now a failure.

Let him retire honourable to lecture theater or else, EFCC will hunt him when they open his books.

True sha...nah all your points dey possible

Wahala for the rubber stamp buffalo


Cabal put am for long thing...all the mumu loyalty, where e come land am? If you wan eat with the devil, you gas use very long spoon.

But the thing sweet my belle sha, he wants to eat his cake and have it

Dem no born Buhari well make e carry loan approval go the Senate right now...I am sure Lawan must be fuming right now.

Anybody who wants peace of mind would never want someone like Wike as his vice. Hot temper, rascality, uncouth, aggressive, over ambitious, those are dangerous traits you don't want in your deputy at any level.

The guy go do pass wetin Atiku himself do OBJ

So you prefer he goes on a rant causing religious and ethnic clashes to magnify, causing the coutnry to go into a state of emergency? There are other ways to support Yorubaland than bringing the country into chaos like Sunday or Kanu almost did.


Obasanjo dey contest for presidency? Abi which kind faulty reasoning be this?

Nah wetin I wan hear you don admit so, that Tinubu didn't keep quiet because he doesn't he doesn't want chaos, but he did because of his Presidential. No one said he should preach violence like Igboho and Kanu, but as a leader the Yorubas were looking up to, at least to speak out in such situation, but he failed in that regard.

And hey Mr Abiodun, before you try to twist it, read thorugh your quotes with an open mind and read meaning into it.

Las las nah una wey dey naija go suffer Am.

abbey621:
So you prefer he goes on a rant causing religious and ethnic clashes to magnify, causing the coutnry to go into a state of emergency? There are other ways to support Yorubaland than bringing the country into chaos like Sunday or Kanu almost did. Ametokun is one way, have you ever asked yourself who finances such groups? 9ja politics no be for kids o, if Tinubu had made such a mistake it would have been equivalent to war, if lives were lost as a result, it would be easy to accuse him of treason and then what's the point? Yoruba saying goes, "Ti owo omode o ba ti te eku ida, ko le bere iku to pa baba e"....When a man has hardly laid his hands on the handle of a sword, it is foolhardy to ask for the kind of death which killed his father...

P.S. Point of correction, Nigerians have never been happy with APC government, DA PA DA, DON'T SAY SUCH AGAIN!

So if Obasanjo can rant about happenings in Nigeria, who is Tinubu. Let's stop deceiving ourselves, he didn't remain quiet because he didn't want to country to go to hell, he did because he didn't want to offend the North, knowing he will need them to achieve his Presidential aim. So criticising the brazen killings here and there is asking for war? Responsible and selfless leaders make statements like "I criticise in strong terms the senseless killings of my people, but implore everyone to remain calm and not take laws into your hands". And it was also the feeling of not wanting to cause war that made him help victims of Northern tragedy and looked the other way in the region abi?

Now I even see the high rate of hypocrisy going on here, the likes of Tinubu kept quiet because according to you " he did not wanting to cause war", but you guys want a sitting VP (to show his hands) go against his own principal and the cabal, the little he did almost even caused him his life. I am sure if Tinubu happens to be the VP, he would have asslic*ed the North to became President. Just admit for once. Well whether you is ardent fans admit or nor, most Yorubas are deeply disappointed in him for keeping quiet.

You mentioned Amotekun, the same Amotekun we only hear about in Ondo and Oyo which is not even an APC state. Amotekun doesn't even function where Tinubu have the most influence in the region; Ogun, Lagos and Osun. And you want to give him credit for that?

Votes in the SW for APC in the was at its lowest last election despite having a VP candidate. Tinubu will win the SW, but I can assure you it won't be a landslide. Not because he is a messiah, saint, or loved, he will win because 'omo eni oni shey did bebere ki afi ileke si idi omo elomiran'.

Finally, if you ask anyone at all who isn't Tinubu's ardent fan or a Northerner, when they really was a relief during this administration, I am sure they will mention while Buhari was hospitalised and Osibanjo the acting President.

At it stands, you guys should worry more about Igbos in Yorubaland, most educated youths in the region, and the chameleon Buhari, who made Atiku the groom's father during Yusuf's wedding.

Ire oo!

The problem with many Nigerians is we want to reach heaven but don't want to die. Think about it, we all know the obstacles, we all know the cabals, the religious and ethnic bigots that stands in the way of anyone wanting positive change for Nigeria. I even gave you examples in Nigerian history of how people got things done. You yourself just confirmed that Osibanjo was silenced, now ask yourself who is likely to get things done out of Tinubu, Obi or Atiku. Who is likely not to be silenced by cabals, ethnic and religious bigots? Who has the most international connections and ability to attract investors? Who is likely to pull technorats with vast level of experience from all sectors?

I pride myself on one thing, I do not fanatasize, I do not delude myself that a gentleman can save Nigeria. Nigeria right now is the lion's mouth, one must be fearless enough to pry its mouth open and expose the goodies! I do not believe a Fulani can do this, I also do not believe a soft man wiht no experience of dealing with the cabals can do this. Good or bad, we need a man of action, a man feared both in the North and the South.......THIS IS JUST MY OPINION, EVERYONE IS FREE TO DO AS THEY DEEM FIT!

If Tinubu is as astute and fearless as you paint him to be, why was he silent all these while despite the wanton of killings openly and discreetly going on in Yorubaland? Not once did he openly criticise the senseless killings. When Pa Fasonranti's daughter must murdered by Fulani herdsmen, as confirmed by her driver and later, as proven after the culprits arrest, what did Tinubu say? "Where are the herdsmen, where are the cows"?

Markets were burning in the South (SW) , he didn't even sympathise with them not to talk of showing the philanthropic side he showed when tragedy struck I'm the North; donating 50m on each occasion. Just like Atiku who wasn't man enough to stand firm on his criticism of Deborah’s murder- both old men are self serving.

When the then DSS director, was misbehaving, before and during Buhari's sickness, Osibanjo, as acting President suspended him (later even recommending his sack), even when the cabal dared him. Someone even Buhari couldn't sack o. Same Osibanjo's reign as acting President was the only time Nigerians were happy with this APC government. He cooled tensions...Npower was going smoothly until Adeosun was booted out and the scheme taken away from him.

abbey621:
So you agree that technorats are not suitable for the Nigerian political system because even if you had a supportive president, you must still navigate the cabals, the Senate & House members, religious and tribal factions. This is why I laugh at those suypporting Osibanjo and Obi, this present Nigeria requires a mean ass businessman, a shrewd negotiator and someone not afraid to make enemies.

Think about it, if you're old enough to remember, a certain general named Murtala was killed because he decided to do things with immediate effect, he saw the direction the country was heading and wanted change immediately. Another example, the mean old Obasanjo who made it his mission to attract investors to Nigeria's communication sector when most of our politicians wanted Nitel. Even Tinubu is an example, we all know how he showed Obasanjo that Lagos is self sufficient and how he saw the opportunity and importance of developing Lekki.

My point is simple, technorats without action are as useless as the P in psychology. Nigeria needs a visionary that is not a nice guy, an action man that will say f*ck this, this country will be great I don't care if I have to break some heads

So in your church mind you think Tinubu will perform wonders? A technocrat as the no 1, will do his own free will. When Osibanjo was trying to proof himself, not only did his crash landed twice, he was relieved of the responsibilities Buhari initially gave him.

While we aren't even sure if Tinubu would win the Presidential election, I can't but imagine the kinda government Tinubu will run if he wins. Baba wey don nearly privatise Lagos finish, baba wey dey encourage thuggery, baba wey dey impose, baba wey through Alpha Beta dey frustrate governors he forced to use the Tax company. Although I know all the front runners are chronic thieves, but thieves get levels. But I admit he is far better than Atiku, except for his health of course. I mean, the guy couldn't hold a flag for crying out loud. How is he going to cope with the rigours of the electioneering campaigns?

Well sha, if God has destined him to lead naija, no Jupiter can stop him, otherwise, he just labours in vain. I would really love to be proven wrong about him.

abbey621:
A technorat that had 7 years to bring forth some kind of positive change but failed.....Mehn technorats nowadays don turn to jovial beings

Technocrats can only excel where and when they are given free hands to function, not when you are working for a President you can't afford to outshine.

Froshloaded:
Clown
You should have stepped down, your political career is about to become history .

You people just keep shouting his political career is about to do this and that. For someone who isn't a career politician, but a technocrat, what more can a person regret after being VP for 8 years?

Only career politicians like Aregbe should be extremely worried.

tuoyoojo:
Those fulani people eh...just that the stunt the gov of sokoto played in the gov of rivers during the last pdp convention. But If kwankwaso decides to run, it would be a bonus for Southern presidency

This is my permutation

Tinubu would likely pick a Muslim vp, atiku would obviously pick someone from the South( we all know that the position of vp and just for figure head)
Knowing how polarised the country is along religious lines...it is going to be an election that would be btw the two religions of Nigeria.who is the only formidable Christian candidate now....you already know

24hours is a long time in politics, how much more a 6 days, let's wait and see the running mates before we go come start proper permutations

And the headache starts for APC, apart for having a lot of hurdles to cross in selling Tinubu due to so many factors, I just can't wait to see how and who they pick as running mate to Tinubu. Interesting times ahead

Kwankwaso to tackle Atiku in the North, and Obi to frustrate Tinubu in the South. But I don't trust Fulani men, Kwankwaso fit go step down for Atiku in the run up to the general election.

Peacecore:
I disagree baba. The beef between Amosun and Tinubu is becoz of Abiodun. Tinubu nominated Abiodun against Amosun's candidate. Osinbajo is a political neonate especially in Ogun to even help someone. Abiodun was deceived by Abuja men, just as they did to Aregbe, making it looked like they have all the power to crown Osinbajo the king, and the young had to align with the trend. Remember, he's a newborn in politics, so the error in calculation and betrayal.

I agree with all your points except for the fact that Abiodun caused the rift between SIA and Tinubu. Their rift started when the former did away with the Osoba faction, turned down Alpha Beta, long even before SIA's 2nd term...then Yayi's relocation to Ogun too caused serious bad blood between the duo. They only used Abiodun to get back at him.

Indeed, the duo of Osibanjo and Aregbe were massively deceived. Well, Osibanjo has reached the semi pinnacle of politics in Nigeria, even despite the fact that he was never a politician. He would def get international jobs and practice Law if he so wish. And he would always have an ex VP's privileges, and would always be welcomed in Ogun. It is Aregbe I really pity, he lost in his home state and lost in Lagos too. He is finished politically! Except he somehow wins Atiku's heart by working against APC in Osun, and delivering it. Maybe he can have a home in PDP, but in APC, he is totally finished

yinkus6750:
Eleyi that never supported BAT.
What is he now saying ?
Among the people that pushed Starboy to wrong destination.

You don't expect him not support him. On the day of the election that brought Dapo to power, Osibanjo had to fly down to Ogun to take care of things when thing were going sideways. In addition, there some strong people in Ijebuland that influence things, including the Awujale, ( all who worked hard to make sure Dapo won in 2019). If they had all supported Osibanjo, Dapo would have had no choice but to toe same line

You mean the ministry that was taken away from him? Things were going smoothly with that and Npower until Zainab took over

mujibson:
Omoh Igbo in the building

Everybody nah omo Igbo, because we don't all sleep and face the same direction- Tinubu's direction?

I was born in Lagos, schooled all my life in Ogun before I moved abroad to further my studies. I come from Yewa North LGA, Ogun State.

No kind of blackmail, be it emotional or otherwise would make us support Tinubu. Although brilliant and smart during his younger years, his arrogance, greediness, level of corruption, age and health status will be his undoing.

We need forward thinkers, vibrant, and new age visionary leaders; Osibanjo and Obi fits the bill perfectly. They are not saints, but they exude confidence and hope!

Osibanjo, I pray you win. God forbid you lose, I will switch my support to Obi. I am a yoruba man, but for for the sake of my children's future, it is either Osibanjo or Obi for me.

God forbid either fails to win the general election, I will know I have tried my best with my one vote to change our narration as a country one last time.

Make I sleep for 2 hours come watch the counting of results

Oh my God, see the executive box as everybody stood up with applause to welcome him back to his seat, including Buhari.

Redomi:
Buhari smile for the first time after the speech of Osinbajo

I am telling you, he's proud of his boy

Osibanjo, na man you be !

Nah Buga dem use invite the star boy....the DJ head dry there

tonididdy:
Person papa clueless

Ehn ehn nah...so incoherent and talking gibberish...like a student who crammed for a debate...with this kind of speech, he can't even win a LG election

God, we kind boring man is this? I waiting for Osinbajo before I hit the bed abeg. I no want delayed news. His he stepping down or going all the way. If he steps down, I would love to see the reaction on Buhari's face.

At this juncture, I am very afraid for his aspirations. Many questions running through my head right now. Can Osibanjo pull this off?

Seun:
This guy can barely communicate. He's telling Buhari's story and praising him for some reason. "He is an honest man." What's his angle

The man doesn't have any angle, he's just there to add to the numbers, I doubt he bought his form with his hard earned money

Honor10:
How many candidate to go please?

2 more after this clueless man. A woman and Osibanjo

HALCYON44:
I wannder why people thinks with their hands and write rubbish that BAT is too old this and that. Will you keep quite? Don't you see U.S president how old or what. So if you don't have any justification stop writing rubbing. The same old man is the foundation of Lagos that this useless people have to spoil and scattered now.go to any part of SE or SS even a small boy on their street want to go to Lagos. Nigerians are not like you that you only know what is in your mouth. We are people of history we always remember our background. Keep quite and learn joo.
BAT all the way

And yes, most Americans are regretting it. The man keeps making blunders, stumbling and getting confused atimes. The man I am sure won't even dare seek reelection

otipoju:
The implosion of APC is what they want, what they never envisioned though was the emergence of Peter Obi and the momentum he is gathering.

If they install their Lawan...they will do all they can to set west and east at loggerheads. Then both La QA an and Atiku will pick one igbo amd one yoruba candidate. That way they will try and negate Obi

My thought exactly

Adamu was brought in at the eleventh hour to play the cabal/Buhari's script. With that is extremely decayed set of teeth, I knew he was up to no good when he kept putting all the members of NWC in the dark on all issues.

All I know is that, by hook or by crook, the North wants to remain in power, what I see is that they are taking the Southerners, especially our greedy politicians for a ride. They want to destroy APC, so that another unfortunate Fulani man can take over from Buhari, they can't afford any setback to the evil plans they have set in motion by allowing a Southerner win in 2023.
