Yea, he can’t be controlled if he is in his right senses, the cabal thing won’t be an issue with him but he no go send anything democracy, he would do what he wants and that’s not good for a highly diverse country. A leader should listen to the opinion of others

Do you think that Tinubu has dictatorial tendencies? Do you think Tinubu will allow insecurity to fester like the current situation?

Vistra40:
So people shouldn’t hear from who is running to be their president?

In a normal country, they should. But in Nigeria, anything goes. We've heard so many interviews and promises already. The major contenders are not new,we all know them and their capabilities and past. If they are new na, the push for interviews for make more sense.
Election debate is another issue too

jesus247:
Allowing BAT to appear on live TV for interview will be the biggest mistake his campaign handlers/organization should subscribe to. If they do, he go fall everyone's hand including himself. Afterall the agbado and cassava he gave us during APC primary campaign some of us never finish their own.

Lolz, have you found a better solution than that to the security menace? i hope to hear it.

Megabig:
You will get angry listening to him. He’s a little witty and rude, always speak like you have no choice but to elect him or go by his demands. I’ve listened to some of his interviews

Lol, you spoke my mind. He no send anybody. That's why everyone is afraid of him, they can't control him or put him in a cage like the rest. He's Brilliant though, can't deny that fact.

This one just dey talk plenty...how osinbanjo as vp take benefit the common Yoruba man ? U dey cap plenty

Are you a Nigerian now?

I was not a baby when Tinubu was governor, quote me. His tenure was nothing to write home about. As a matter of fact, some people wished Marwa could come back as "governor". The breath of fresh air in Lagos started during Fashola's tenure and don't give me that büllshit of "he laid the groundwork" , there are thousands of policy documents dating back decades that have been written and presented by public servants laying dusty in ministries, any governor who wants to work in any sector especially in a rich state like Lagos knows what to do, Tinubu didn't want to work, lucky he had his battle with baba Obj to hide behind. Abeg, tell me another story

Okay na, simply don't vote for him. Vote for Atiku and Obi who turned Nigeria and Anambra to London when they were in government. i believe you were not a baby also when they were in government.

Arysexy:
Please what did Tinubu do in Lagos. At least I was in Lagos when he was Governor. Apart from raising IGR which any dunce can raise due to the advantage Lagos has, which he looted, what else did he do in Lagos?

No single bridge was built by him, he owed salary and pension, Lagos was very dirty under his reign, what did he do?

Nothing na, raising IGR is nothing as we know about Lagos magic advantage.

doneback04:
a big blow to Tinubu campigm ,

someone that is mentally not okay and you want him to sit for 1hours do you want him to fall down and die.

I dare to see any normal youths saying he will vote for a tinubu that person needs mental checkup because he or she is sick upstairs.

Not a touch, not to mention big blow. Good governance no be to dey blow grammar like FFK. i know a smooth talker who can objectively convince you on why he needs to rape all your lineage and you will sign up for it with joy and fanfare. He hasn't helped anyone but himself, even his relatives know him.
There's another man who can't piece things together that much so doesn't talk much. But he's done a lot for his family and hometown.
No be by talking like parrot be elections. Everyone cannot be Obama to win election. Ask GEJ.

VERDA:
Let's be honest please....there is nothing like placeholder for elective positions, that is why both the current senate President and Akpabio of Akwa ibom lost out of the race, the law clearly states, you cannot vie for two elective positions and if INEC did not witness you present at the primaries your not going anywhere, if we can't follow the law in choosing our elected officers I wonder what we are doing as a country.

Why did Umahi vie for the presidency if he knew clearly he could not win.

There is indeed place holder as we saw Tinubu and Obi use it successfully. The law is indeed an ass when you know how to use the loopholes. We have faulty laws and constitutions already. We are following the law is why we have this thread. Let's see how well the law moves things forward.

SupremeSpecimen:
OR
Here's a thought..

How about apc recruit personalities from the SE that's actually LIKED by the people?
Imagine That!
Hold your nose n vote anyway is not a strategy my boy


Btw, while your write up looks intelligent, reading between the lines, you're basically okay with the tribalistic system of Nigerian politics.

And the most infuriating thing about Nigerians is all you people get sense as soon as you secure Visa. Smh. Maybe there's something in the water..

Couldn't make much sense or intelligence in your post, have a good day and vote safely.

RZArecta:
one hour interview ke Atiku is a big bully walahi, how does he expect Tinubu of all people to survive an hour's interview ? That's pure wickedness honestly, he should have suggested five minutes instead and shout agbado in between to help Tinubu

Lolz, Tinubu's strong point has never been oratory but performance and results. Right from when he was governor of Lagos, i hardly understood anything he was saying if saying anything. His talks then gave credence to the rumors then that he was high on drugs. But his governance results were unmistakably above. We don't need smooth talkers like Atiku or Saraki who failed woefully in governance.

JealousCobra:
Bunch of inconsequentials

Governors, senators and house of rep members are inconsequentials? i very rightly said you are suffering delirium. APC having over 20 states governors cannot be said as past history, wake up.

EmekaA125:
Back him when his emergence is against the electoral act??

It's not. They claimed that another primary was conducted. If the lady that took second place did not deny and sue, that excuse will lawfully stand.

poiZon:
I heard Yobe state is now competing with Dubai, Paris cos Ahmed Lawan is the Senate President.


Try dey chop breakfast before dem go give u the one wey get stones inside..

Lol, like pastor Adeboye will sometimes say "the message is not for everybody". The message is for SEasterners and others that believe that they must have a christian or Igbo man in power, and wail about being marginalized. When you lock out all your powerful people, what IF APC wins the election? What mouth/boldness will they use to ask for political favours? Oga, this is 2022 and this is Nigeria if you don't know how stuff works. Did you not see how Buhari called them dot, and not contributing up to 5% of his victory? Could he openly say that to South West? You lock all your big politicians up in one party and you start feeling entitled if the other party wins. Someone that is even harrased from winning his ward, he can't boldly ask for anything in Nigerian politics. He's going to be at the mercy of the man in power, whoever that is.

SmartPolician:
Stop writing trash!

The law respects no one.

When you circumvent the law to suit some people's needs you still wonder why this country is a shithole.

What law, the same Nigerian law? Lol, if Umahi wins in court now, you no go talk this thing.
If APC Ebonyi or Ebonyi State as a whole work together, will there be any case in court? Didn't APC say/claim to have conducted another election that Umahi won? Is it not the woman that lost to Umahi's place-holder that denied it? Which law, abi short-sightedness.

Mafxeless:
illiteracy k!ll you there! it was the court that sacked him, not people of south east. ewu!

Don't act smarter than yourself, who sued him to court, the court? Who denied any primary election that Umahi won, the court? Some unknown woman wants to become senator at the expense of her governor and party leader. Make she go there go change Nigeria na. People that don't think far.

UARBIAFRAODUA:
Nice one ,the vice president and Ministers from South West how did the common man from South West benefit from them ? Oga nothing come out

Nigerians have gone mad..
NOT being tribalistic is now seen as political daftness


What year is it in Nigeria sef
Who did this to you people

luizpippo:
The North East has the Senate president, and the NW has the president but this two regions are the worst hit of all the regions.


Awon political great grandfathers oshi

Lol, my exact point if you read through my usual comments in the politics section. Having a christian or muslim or particular tribe in position is not a guarantee of good governance or advantage.
But since people wail over such things, especially the SEast, then they should strategically place themselves in such positions instead of waiting to be gifted or playing maltreatment card.
As it stands, North and SWest have players in all the major parties and positions. SEast lock themselves in PDP and ostracize anyone that attempts to be smart.

VERDA:
Just look at the fraudulent mindset this one has, so people should break the law without any consequences because they want their person in the senate...

May God purnish all you evil people that will not let this country move forward.

Who is this ignorant person? So it is Umahi not going to Senate that will move your country forward? Dream on.
There will be no law broken if there was cooperation in house, both in APC and in Ebonyi as a whole. The APC claimed that they did another primary in which Umahi is said to have won. The lady was told not to cooperate with that that she's the one to run, lol. It's like the place holder thing. If for instance the place holder guys refused to resign and insist in court that it is their turn to be vice presidential candidate.
This woman is not likely to win the senatorial election, and even if she wins, is not likely to have any influence in the Senate. This is someone that lost to "place holder" already oh.

whitephoenix:
You are insulting the south East while you are actually ignorant. A first timer (as Umahi would be) cannot vie for Senate President

Don't be in a hurry to talk about things you know nothing about

It's called strategy duh. i said people LIKE, meaning influential people from the South or SE that are in APC. If the APC wins next year, they are likely going for another 8 years. This is no different from Saraki who positioned himself strategically for qualification. If the influential ones are not first timers, how will they ever be second or third timers or stand a chance. Do you expect them to be handed/gifted/dashed positions when they defect late after February? The Northerners and SWesterners have senators and governors in all the main parties. South East pack themselves like sardine inside PDP as if it is their god. Think broad and stop being in a hurry.

JealousCobra:
APC will be a history by this time next year.

This is delirium. Many governors, senators and house of rep members will be APC members. Also, the Presidency MAY still be APC. Stop taking hard drugs.

This is unfortunate, Buhari sack Emefiele at least if you can't sack yourself. Abi na so we go dey dey till 2023?

Dsalvo:
He is another 'whitey' desperate IPOBians have paid because Igbos always think white skin validates them.

Kanu and IPOB were the masters of hiring these worthless white folks, who are clowns in their Country of origin, for propaganda purpose.

Now, with Kanu in jail and forgotten by Igbos always desperate for a new messiah, Obi has taken over with the same style of trying to use 'credible' Oyinbo to bully the opinion of 'simple' negroes.

I swear our 'Jewish' brothers are pathetic. Too many mental issues than one can count. Obi is indeed the IPOB candidate. Same tactics and antics as Kanu precisely.

By the IPOBians, where is the lunatic hireling of Kanu, ranting below, today? In fact where is Kanu himself? Joke things from a joke people.

Lol, laugh wan wound me oh.

Who be this nonentity retired psychotherapist? Him sef wan trend.

Nigerianization:
So the south east controls the judiciary right? APC has two senators in Imo plus Orji uzor Kalu from Abia. If they are looking to give south east Senate presidency, we have candidates. Senator Izunaso from Imo west is coming, he will replace Rochas and he is APC.

Lol, read what you typed again and laugh out loud. We're not talking about people that even the people in their state don't know them. People who can have mouth in their party and their party "owes" them some favour.
i didn't mention the judiciary, did i?

Oplomo:
Ehen....Tinubu agbadorians don come again with their agbado "advise" like they did in the 2015 campaign.

After playing your "2-face' "votes-splitting politics in 2015 and 2019, are you better than the South East and South South? Have they not proven to be more foresighted than you are by rejecting bad market?

Can you speak more intelligently, you are wailing.

The South, especially the South East are babies in the game of politics. People like Umahi and Akpabio that they suppose to you style support as back up plan. You don't put your eggs in one basket or cut your nose to spite your face.
It is people like Umahi and Akpabio that should straightforward vie for Senate presidency IF APC wins the presidential election. But of course, when there's no big APC name from the South, the presidency will either go North or at worst South West. Then SE will cry blood and neglect and Biafra yet again.

Lagos port in apapa is own n controlled by federal government, thats Nigeria major port. The one is lekki was as a result of companies like dangote refineries being built in lekki.

Delta major port is in warri, own n controlled by federal government.
Delta has other port such as the koko port, sapela ports etc.

Port Harcourt major port is in onne, own n controlled by federal government.

Why is apapa port the only functional federal government port.

Finally where did you see me write onitsha port?
Are u high?

Again, ask the other state governments, not me. Lagos port has been number one even when the state government was in opposition to FG.
About Onitsha, the person i initially replied mentioned Onitsha. i thought you were the same person having quoted my reply.

As it's going, the next president might compensate Obi with Special adviser on Social media matters.

I laugh when people say that Muslim/Muslim ticket is not bad. A case study should be Kaduna State, how government backed islamic terrorists are dealing with Southern Kaduna under a Muslim/Muslim administration.

For the headslammers that think it doesn't bother them because they are also muslims. I'll need to remind you that it is not only the Christians who are feeling the heat, the security situation in Kaduna has totally degenerated. Hell Rufai has given a free hand to all terrorists to operate, kidnap and kill people with reckless abandon and police are not permitted to prevent them, investigate or arrest them.

If Tinubu is rigged in with a Muslim/Muslim ticket using soldiers and INEC, those of you in the South would think twice before you travel to your home state because bandits will police all the major roads in the South.

Most of you here do not see beyond a day, you do not think things ahead of time. You just do things blindly just for the moment. I hope you won't regret it.

Stop talking blindly. Who Christian Christian governor help? If a leader is blind, bigoted or incompetent, he is, whatever the religion. What has our current Christian VP and previous Christian presidents done to curb insecurity?

CAN should not be partisan but neutral, same with most kings. Advice people and pray, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
