I don't have time with that flag.


My earnest wish is that... Anything that will bring Tinubu government to an end is welcome. Even if it is coup.

Home Exclusive 2027: North dumps Tinubu for Jonathan



written by Our Reporter August 8, 2024

By Bayo Davids

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may be walking a tight rope in his bid to remain in office beyond 2027. This is as credible sources have disclosed to this medium that the key Northern figures have rejected the former Lagos State Governor in preference of ex-President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
The sources who spoke on condition of anonymity told our correspondent that some highly connected religious and traditional leaders have informed their followers against associating themselves with the second term aspiration of President Tinubu.

Should Jonathan who governed Nigerian between May 5, 2010 to May 29, 2015, bows to pressure, he is likely to run on a joint ticket with the former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso who commands a huge voting base in Kano State.

A Governor of one of the Northern states told our correspondent in confidence that the plot is real, stressing that “Many Northern Governors are ready to work with Jonathan if he accepts this offer.”

According to him, Tinubu’s popularity in the North has taken a hit in recent months owing to reasons not unconnected with the economic hardship in the land, caused by the removal of fuel subsidy.

He continued: “President Tinubu is no longer marketable in the North and he won’t be elected. As it stands today, he cannot get 20 per cent votes in the North in 2027. All the Islamic clerics and Ulamas in the North have advised all their followers against any form of support for President Tinubu. ”

Asked why the North wants Jonathan back in the saddle given that they voted against him in 2015, the Governor said, “The former President would serve a single term, completing a Southern term started by Tinubu in 2023. Take it from me, the North will not allow a Tinubu in 2027.

“Again, Jonathan still enjoy a considerable amount of support in the North. He lost in 2015 because of General Muhammadu Buhari’s huge followership coupled with his alliance with the South West geo-political zone,” he added.

Meanwhile, an associate of Dr. Jonathan conversant with the preliminary talks said the former President is a bit skeptical of the plot at the moment given what he called, the betrayal he suffered in the past.

He however added that Jonathan would only take a decision on the matter if a formal approach is tabled before him.

It is not clear yet if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the largest opposition party in the country will be Jonathan’s chosen platform should he decide to take another shot at the Presidency but the Northern Governor said what is important is Jonathan’s nod of approval.

His words: “The most important thing is for him to agree to run. Party platform is not the issue for now because even if the former President declares on the platform of the Peoples Redemption Party (PDP), we will move with him,” he stated.

Key Northern figures including some federal legislators have in the recent past, took turns to berate Tinubu for what they see as the lopsided nature of the appointments he has made so far, including taking away juicy ministries from the North.

It thus appear that 2027 is the perfect opportunity for the zone to make its voice heard, loud and clear.

this catholic statues will never talk or walk.

Blinking and bleeding seems to be the only skill they have.

you be really crazman

You spoil it all

sIfioksq:
Bode George should focus on his party's internal issues instead of trying to school Tinubu. The man has been clear about his plans. Transparency is key, and Tinubu is committed to that. The days of hiding behind subsidies are over; it's time for real solutions. Let’s see how PDP can manage the economy before giving advice.

it very true that APC always swapped it's supporters brain with zombies because how can a normal human being will even think of waving down a critical question as this?


Is it too much to ask your drug lord to tell Nigerians what is happening in our oil sector?

Hmmm

The most important thing that Nigerian needs now is the reduction in the price of this product that controls all sections of our economy.


How can we pay so much for something that is deposited in our backyard... It heartbreaking. And Tinubu and his cartels are the sole beneficiary of this pains they inflict on the citizens.

Over intake drugs have made Tinubu to forgot All the promises he made to Nigerian.



This certainly the effects of hard drugs.

Always try not to beat a woman although they are very tempting. I always choose to leave the house until I'm cool.

Like buhari, we hardly see this in programs

Houseontherock1:
All the money used to pay for palliatives and other paddings including the money used to campaign against the protest could be used to pay for fuel subsidy so the price per ltr can go back to N200. This is one "palliative" that'll reach EVERYONE positively and whoops... problem half solved! Also just the same way naira was floated, "unfloat" it and open the borders for food while we grow our own grains so the poor can breathe! Take a closer look at the subsidy payment and block loopholes!

before the protest was scheduled to hold, the government was planning to increase taxes on different commodities to enlarge their pocket.

So, they don't want to reverse some of their evil policies so they can have enough money for profligacy lifestyle.


I wish this protest will bring a change

If you protest, you die

If you don't protest, you die


So it better to die for something than to die for nothing.


The situation of Nigeria today is already "a mass killing weapon" and we have the duty to rescue ourselves and the generation unborn


Protest against bad government is inevitable for all well meaning Nigerians

I'm also prepared for this protest

Chinkoalhaji34:
Finally, some sense!

This is a step in the right direction, but we need to see it implemented properly.

at a time that appears too late?

Jflex07:
Lol. So they could reduce the price of rice all these while, but they refused, yet making Nigerians go through so much pain. Our politicians are really wicked and heartless. How does this even get to the common man? I don't trust these governors one bit.

it not possible to see and even if you see it, na only rice be our problems?

You

A desperate search for solutions end up creating more problems.

Nah India Obidients they get their propaganda materials against Tinubu from now. Very pathetic ! Arise tv is no longer enough for them. Maybe next time they would go and be looking for anti-Tinubu news on Somalia tv. May we never labour in vain like the Obidients. Clowns !

your criminal certificate forger labor to get power and now he is very confused on what he really wants to do it


A Very confused drugs lord

JealousCobra:
Tinubu born this 70yrs old olosho, tinubu is the biggest fraud Africa ever produced as a president.

crazygod:
Why is the government fidgety about this protest? Why are they scared? EndSars protest turned bloody because the government shot peaceful protesters and yet that investigation was swept under the carpet. If any hoodlum hijacks any protest, then know it is APC that is behind it.
Even to the so called keyboard social media govt agents, don't you have conscience? Are you not tired? How much is enough?

here is their plan

Salewa97:
Tinubu's daughter is speaking the truth. The safety of our youth should be paramount.

Her message resonates deeply, especially in these turbulent times. It's vital for everyone to prioritize dialogue over violence.

We must protect our future leaders, not put them in harm's way. Let's work together for peace and progress in Nigeria.

if you live in this world for 100yrs, you will die

If you live below that yrs, you will still die


All die na die but what you die for matter

It's better dying to save the world than dying as an id.iot like you.

You see this protest... We are fully ready

Pikin wey e old pass papa

Georgry:


During the campaign period last year anybody who dare to oppose Mr Peter Obi on any issue is quickly aggressively attacked by the Obidient mob, in fact they gave no body the right to make their own choice or ask questions of a man who was governor for 8 years, they just want you to join the moving train or you're gonna be canceled, he's been portrayed as a very clean, not corrupt and a messiah, when you dare ask about his past they just attack you and tag you an enemy of Nigeria, the Image they gave him doesn't suit any of the Nigerian politicians, dissent isn't allowed in their dictionary and to be very honest with you guys, if Peter Obi had won nobody will have the right to protest in Nigeria.


Modified : to all the useless mob quoting me, the title of this tread was initially "why I don't want Peter Obi or Kwakwaso to rule Nigeria" I believe it was edited by the mod before they sent it to front page, it was because of their headless mob who have sacrificed their Brain in the altar of politics, you guys could bare all the hunger and death during the Naira War Emefiele waged on Nigerians because you thought it would be in your favour, I don't care about anybody protesting, it is the right of Nigerians, nobody can tell anybody not to protest, but if Obi had won, you guys will attack anybody who want to protest just like an headless mob.

very obsessed with obi

Do you see him your dream every day?

D[b]I wonder why people are wasting their time protesting against Aso Rock ;[/b]

Reminds me of a film we watched as kids, "Romancing the rock"

The odds are stacked against the masses, sky high. The government are prepared, and they are not the best in human right records. Moreover with what has been destroyed since this administration took over, it may take more than 10 years to dig yourselves out of this hole. Why the hurry?

Relax and endure your suffering like men, you made a mistake to allow them get there, why are you in a hurry to escape the consequences?

Jonathan reverse the subsydy thru protest... Your aso rock criminals must reverse some of his illiterate policies through protest...

I'm prepared for it!

successmatters:


We have been recovering from #700/$ up till #1650/$

We have been recovering from #200 fuel price up till #800 fuel prices

What a recovery.


But I am anti protest, I support the call for stopping the protests, let's give Tinubu more time to work. It's too early to protest.

you really spoil this your comment with the call for a calming down when hungry is offsetting our brain.

Sannisege:
And more of them will die. Tinubu is going no where. There’s a constitutional provision for changing government every four years. Any “Tinubu must go” protest is an affront on the constitution of Nigeria and must be treated as an insurrection/ treasonable felony.

I wish he will be ousted.

efighter:
Anybody wey wan die young, let the person protest for Lagos

If you protest, you die

If you don't protest, you die


So it better to die for something than to die for nothing.


The situation of Nigeria today is already "a mass killing weapon" and we have the duty to rescue ourselves and the generation unborn
