How did he work hard for APC? Buhari has always be very loved and popular in the North, and won the most votes in Northern since 2003. Tinubu supported Atiku for President in 2007 under his (Tinubu) Action Congress party, Atiku came a distant 3rd. Tinubu supported Ribadu for President under his (Tinubu) ACN party in 2011, Ribadu came 3rd behind Jonathan and Buhari. 2015 was a combination of many factors like Rochas helping Buhari garner votes in the South East, Saraki delivering Kwara to APC and so on. The margin of victory in Lagos was even narrow sef for APC, yet people will falsely claim Tinubu made Buhari President. Buhari rode on his popularity in the North, and support from others like Tinubu, Saraki, Rochas, Amaechi but to name a few. Tinubu did not contest for President since 2007 when PDP was in power, cos he new he stood no chance of winning. He is just trying to use APC status to achievement his life long ambition which is to surpass Awolowo's legacy. Osinbajo is a far better and qualified candidate to this Ancestor called Tinubu.....

[color=royalblue]My brother, unless we want to deceive ourselves, that man deserves to be the consensus candidate sef.

APC is an alliance between CPC, ACN, and some stowaways from APGA.

CPC faction has ruled, and you're saying Osibanjo?

I no be Tinubu fan oh. But I wasn't even expecting them to do any primary sef. That guy deserves to be their candidate [/color]

Peter Obi to Labour

May our Labor not be in vain

PDPGuy time to update moniker to Labor Guy

[color=royalblue]And the race ends here for him.

He would come 4th or 5th in the elections

[/color]

pocohantas:
Lol. Looks like something for a middle-aged bored lawyer.

kingBolton:
Lol,
No Nigerian president will voluntarily do one term.
Atiku is just politicking to get votes as usual.

[color=royalblue] Someone that has been spending heavily since 2007 will now come and do one term?

E for kuku do 1 month naa[/color]

Botfuss:
Lmao really Lmao.

I find it really difficult to believe when women leave footballers sha. I mean, with all that financial security? except there’s violence. Abi oyinbo girls don’t care about the money truly? This girl in particular has shown martial shege and she’s still leaving him

Martial has no spine in every aspects of his life though.

[color=royalblue] Larride has actually tried to sell Tinubu to us. Good job

Donjazet, can you take the microphone and tell us what Peter Obi has done, and can do?

Please come up, sir [/color]

kingBolton:
Someone actually believes it's the government that is causing all the mayhem in the south east despite all the evidence of Kanu and Ekpa's radio broadcast.
Later now, we you will be mocking the northerners of being brainless.

larride:
Abeg leave that one.

Who do you think is that police (Tinubu ADC) behind?

[color=royalblue]That's the Oba of Oniru naa

I think. Lawal something [/color]

larride:
Mama Taraba. I think she’s late now.

She was appointed as Buhari minister and she boldly said her loyalty is to Atiku and resigned during the run to to 2019 election.

[color=royalblue]Was she the one that narrowly missed winning the Governorship election?

There was one female too. I have forgotten the story [/color]

larride:
When Tinubu was Governor.

How old do you think he is in this pics?

[color=royalblue] Osibanjo really betray this guy sha

Make we talk true [/color]

larride:
Meanwhile, a woman has emerge as the candidate of APC in Adamawa.

She beats all the other 5 male candidates and won in a landslide.

She beat Nuhu Ribadu by over 150 votes.

[color=royalblue]I think it happened in Taraba or somewhere the last time.

There's something about the NE and equality

E be like dem no send man or woman for that region [/color]

larride:
Nothing. They will be phased out systematically the same way they were created systematically.

If you look at the way Lagos is pursuing its transportation plans, it’s clear that their days are numbered.

Meanwhile NURTW is a nationwide body, not a Lagos “body”.

[color=royalblue]I know. But we can't negate the fact that the government's silence is what's making these guys litter everywhere.

Those guys are the reason we have a significant increase in the cost of transportation [/color]

larride:
The country needs someone who have the capacity to think and ACT. A visionary who is ready to lay a solid foundation for future generations.

We have a revenue problem. Expert has shown in Lagos with his ingenuity that he has the capacity to raise revenue through his fiscal and economic policies. When OBj withheld Lagos State allocation in 2004, Tinubu devised ways to increase the state allocation. Today, the state average an IGR of $40bn every monthly more than what they receive from the federal purse.

We have security problem, RRS Lagos was created by Tinubu (from the defunct operation sweep unit, a joint unit of army, naval, police and mopol) and turn it into a police only unit to combat growing crime in the state. Fashola took it a notch higher by creating a Lagos State Security fund a public-private security funding which caters to the welfare and operational cost of the unit. Today RRS Lagos is the model security unit in the country. Tinubu can definitely reposition out policing. He has done it before and he will do it again.

Diversity: Tinubu is no tribal bigot and he will work with anyone who can get the job done and this is seen clearly from his time as Governor of Lagos state.
Lai Mohammed - Chief of staff in his first term was from Kwara State
Yemi Osibanjo - Commissioner of Justice and AG was from Ogun state
Wale Edun - Commissioner of finance was from Ogun state
Arthur Worrey - Commissioner for land was from Delta State
Rauf Aregbesola - Commissioner for work was from Osun State
Akabueze - Commissioner for budget and planning was from Anambra State
Dele Alake - Commissioner for information was from Ekiti State
Sunday Dare - Special adviser was from Oyo State

It’s clear that when you mention Tinubu, you mention inclusion.

Tinubu has also the political clout and influence across regions to keep the cabal at bay. He cannot be described as weak or a pushover.

Tinubu will not fix all our issues in 8yrs but he will set us on a path of success and a better country.

[color=royalblue]What becomes of McOluomo?

That guy is frustrating business with his boys

Make Una help us [/color]

larride:
APGA.

The earlier politician from that region play a politics that favor their region first and then build alliance with the other regions, they will always be left disadvantaged.

I am always for things that favor the SW first and foremost before I consider any other region. It is what it is.

[color=royalblue]If PDP wins the presidential election in 2023, will you say the SW did not build alliance with other regions?

Make Una take am easy with the permutations sometimes.

The contest is between two parties, not two regions [/color]

raumdeuter:
This na the time for people to just laugh and catch cruise

No series funny pass this Naija primaries

[color=royalblue] Tinubu deserves to get the APC ticket sha

He worked hard for it....

But then, in Nigeria, masses propose, politicians dispose[/color]

raumdeuter:
I heard Abaribe sef don comot for PDP
Peter Obi left PDP

So who is left in SE PDP?

[color=royalblue]Na only God know wetin go happen in the next few days.

Imagine Jonathan contesting under APC. No structure, no loyalty... Nothing

Either Buhari wants to raise his hand on Sunday, or he has run mad

Peter Obi was not stupid for running away. Him go don get the internal memo before now[/color]

donstan18:
These players are very very old to be very honest.

It takes atleast 25-28 years before 95% of them get European recognitions, and we both know most of them parade themselves as 19-20 when they get recognized.

I was nice saying Mane is 37, if we should deep it, he’ll be 41 or 42.

There’s this Nigerian player his twin brother celebrated his birthday, his age was +10 of what his brother was parading in Europe. I can’t remember the name again.

[color=royalblue]Taiye Taiwo[/color]

Ibime:
This would be a good move for Mane. He can go and play top 9 and rest in Bundesliga. At his age, the less games he plays the better, and he can rest in many games after Bayern already kill the game by halftime. Plus we don't know his true age, although Senegalese football age is close to their real age.

[color=royalblue]

You suppose get PhD for researching ages and birth dates [/color]

BlueRayDick:
1. Tinubu is an embodiment of corruption.
2. Tinubu is nepotic and doesn't believe in merit. Nepotism is one of the ills that brought us to this point as a people.
3. Tinubu legitimize hooliganism in Lagos State. Some may argue that this is not as bad as it seems considering how it has reduced crime, but until you have an encounter with these guys being a law to themselves u will understand the danger it portends for our future.
4. Tinubu is physically sick. No one needs to remind you of how voting a sick Yar Adua ended for us neither does anyone needs to tell you how Buhari's constant attention to his health has affected Nigeria as a nation.
5. Tinubu is one of the major actors that sold the bad product called buhari to all Nigerians. His sense of judgement should never be trusted going forward

These are but few reasons why reasonable people are actually wishing Buhari does not become Nigeria president come 2023.

[color=royalblue] Buhari will not be our president in 2023, in Jesus name

[/color]

BlueRayDick:
lol

Do u know who Kwankwanso is ? He was a 2 time governor in Kano State, He contested against Atiku at a time when PDP zoned the party ticket to the north just to defeat Buhari. Guess what ; Kwankwanso also shared dollars at the primary but Atiku still got more of Kano delegates' votes . That is the track record of Atiku's dollars.

[color=royalblue]Just this week alone, we have seen people share money, lose, and go back to retrieve it. Truly, it isn't money alone for the delegates

Buhari once had a minister and she said she owed her loyalty to Atiku (I can't remember her name).

Na this kind people you go find on primary elections. People that owe their loyalty to someone else.

I just pray he won't speak another grammar when the results are out.

Seyi Makinde wey never rule two times dey assure Wike of SW votes. Very laughable [/color]

Itsrm:
You will swallow that L. I remember telling you from day one when we had that discussion. Wike is not your average politician. He's a master strategist. All these while Atike was in Dubai, Wike was already scheming to be president.

The votes from delegates in the North will not matter as I have shown. The general election is another thing entirely

[color=royalblue]Shebi na next week?

Relax naa [/color]

GloriousGbola:
Rivers is a christian State !!!

almost as bad as born throway

nobody ever figured out - at least i didn't whether he demolished that mosque or not

[color=royalblue]

If PDP was controlling more states, I would have agreed that Wike can grab delegates through the governors. But the case is the opposite.

Weekend no far again. If him win, I go chop my L with Nsala soup and Legend extra stout [/color]

Itsrm:
My thoughts


Those of us who have been following events closely already know Wike will win the election.

SS delegates is under lockdown. Makinde and Fayose are his very strong allies which means SW delegates votes is also under lockdown.

He also has ENUGU, ABIA delegates under his control. IMO and Ebonyi will likely swing in his favour same as Benue and Plateau state. It will not matter what happens in the NE/NW.

Obi has been scheming to be Atiku's VP all these while. When it became clear to him that Wike was going to win the primaries baba left.

Wike wins, the VP slot is off the table. There's asolutely no way the presidential aspirant and VP will come from the SS and SE.

All those ones Doyin Okupe was saying about buying delegates with dollars is just stories. It was the same dollar Atiku used to buy delegates in 2019 and had Obi as vice.

[color=royalblue]I would really love to swallow my L concerning Wike.

There's a reason presidential hopefuls are spending their energy up North. You sef know say Wike no go get Shi Shi from there.

I can't wait to swallow my L. But I am sure he can't win that ticket.

donjazet:
Have you registered to vote? Do you have your PVC ??

Have you done your research on the candidates, who do you prefer to be our next president?

[color=royalblue]The sensible thing is to wait till after the primaries. I don't understand how you all are hyperventilating to vote.

You don't know who the party will present
You haven't even heard what the person will say

Yet you all are already shouting Peter Obi.

Wait sir. After the primaries, and after listening to their manifestos, then you make a decision

Stop being emotional [/color]

donjazet:
That's just one aspect of it, but you're correct, the fact that he's not been in the system for more than 10 years now is a key selling point.

Secondly, he is famed for being stingy, Peter obi had a lot of political problems because he was not the greasing of arms type. He fought against the likes of victor umeh them because they wanted access to Anambra state coffers and he refused. He refused to play the politics of godfatherism.

He was able to come back to Anambra governorship seat through the Catholic archdiocese, the states labor union and the civil service.
Anambra is deeply religious state and the priests and bishops are quite active in political issues. And he cajoled them by giving them back control of a lot of schools in the states. anyways, I digress.

Peter obi's famed frugality is what we desperately need right now.

Pros of a peter obi presidency;
1. Lowering the cost of governance. Be rest assured that all this news we used to hear about aso villa clinic taking 5 billion yearly will be a thing of the past. Excessive aides and offices will be made redundant.
2. Putting together a team of technocratic government. Peter obi's commissioner of health was a medical doctor, his commissioner of works was an engineer. His commissioner of education was a retired state principal. It's only irrelevant posts like women affairs and so that he used for political compensation and the likes. Key jobs are given to professionals in that field.

3. He will close those leaking taps. I'm sure corruption will be minimized because stopping corruption starts at the top. He has consistently said that politics made him even poorer.

4.He's a hands on person; unlike the skeleton at aso rock right now. He's not the delegate type that delegates everything. He's a workaholic. Him and wike are very similar here.

5. He's not a part of the current system. Nigeria needs revamping, not a continuation. We need a full about turn in the direction we're heading and Obi is that breath of fresh air.

I've made my case for him. The disadvantage of men like tinubu, wike, osinbajo, atiku is that they've all been part of the system. They continue to raid and loot our national Treasury, we need an end to that. If not Obi, hopefully someone new.

[color=royalblue] Politics made him poorer?

I don't have anything against the man, but..but ...

[/color]

Wike: How would he have won? I went to Anambra and told them "don't waste your vote on him, he won't win." Since Peter Obi left APGA, first as a Governor, we have not won elections in Anambra, check it. But that is not the issue, at that level, there must be integrity, there must be character. How can you go to virtually all the States telling them how he is a trader, how his family are traders, how he wore one shoe, how he doesn't let anybody carry his bag, all those things. Three days, he has left the Party, Character and Integrity is very important.

Meanwhile Abacha son wins Kano PDP primaries. He will be their governorship candidate

[color=royalblue]Kano will swing to either APC or NNPP

Another waste of funds. [/color]

BlueRayDick:
I’m not making his point for him. His point is an assumption not a fact. Fact is Lagos has always had commercial activities enough to generate those IGR’s na collection be the problem.

Bobo Chicago came and made moves on how to collect the raba and spare the government the part he feels like and do whatever he pleases with the rest. If na the achievement of devising means of collection dem wan celebrate , no wam! Make dem pop champagne

[color=royalblue]We all know Ahmed dey loot steady, but at least, he made moves for economic growth.

Onne is working, but vessels from abroad hardly want to go there because of pirates. Everybody prefers Lagos. If security was not here, it wouldn't have happened.

Bobo Chicago try to make the place grow.

We can as well say governors are doing nothing, afterall they receive massive allocations from the FG. But yet, the case is the opposite.

Yes, it seems basic. But at least, he tried.

larride:
If Tinubu get the ticket, El Rufai is out of it. No sensible aspirant will take a powerful man as his deputy.

[color=royalblue] Elrufai is not gunning for senate. No political spot in 2023

Baba is just silent, which is unlike him.

Na him even honour Asiwaju pass during his tour to visit delegates

That man is up to something. And my spirit dey tell me say na Vice for Asiwaju be him target [/color]
