Can't you see how irrelevant south east are? Without your contribution, Tinubu won with over 900 vote.. you still dey breath

Who told you it's without the contribution of SE states? He actually won because of the SE votes he bought in dollars. SE delegates do not care about APC, so their votes will surely go to the highest bidder.

If Ogbonnaya Onu got 1 vote, Rochas 0, and Mokelu 0 votes, that means the SE delegates voted for Tinubu after settlement. Most APC chairmen in SE are struggling young men. Don't forget it's 3 delegates from each LGA. Nigerian politics is rotten to the bone.

For example, an APC delegate from Enugu North or Nkanu East and West LGA does not give a rats azz about the APC. He is only interested in who pays him more. $10k is even enough.

No Nigerian 50 years and under will return such an amount. We're talking dollar here not Naira. 'Ego Igwe'.


Besides the real owner of the money is dead.

Na to check see wether de family get more thing to sell.

OUK is masking his chuckle and glee over Tinubu winning. He is confident he will not win in the general election.


His ambition will cost the APC the presidency come 2023 and OUK does not care.


Tinubu will not even sweep the SW votes given the huge number of other Nigerians that live and vote in SW states.

6sco:
it was a walk over for the man, he has done his homework very well.

Yes. He paid very well. A breakdown of the result tells you that Tinubu paid the delegates heavily.

Except for the 38 votes that went to Umahi, all the SE APC delegates voted for Tinubu. I know the APC chairman in Enugu state. Ugo has definitely cashed out.

The other Igbo candidates got Zero and 1 vote. Even Rochas.

Nigerian politics is still very much 'Cash and Carry' .We have a looong way to go.

Flier:
Tinubu will surely win... Igbo will go for obi

Hausa willl go for TINUBU and atiku

And Yoruba will go for TINUBU

TINUBU just have to pick Hausa man
He should forget Muslim Muslim shit

You have no idea. You are not well informed. It all depends on who Atiku picks as VP. Besides, Igbos don't vote sheepishly like Hausas and Yorubas. With a core Igbo VP, Atiku is our next president.

He can match Tinubu times 2 in everything. Don't forget that he has been trying to be president just after OBJ left. I mean actively trying way more than Tinubu. He can smell it now with Tinubu as the likely opponent. Atiku will go for the 'kill'. THIS IS HIS LAST CHANCE.

Honor10:
You are capping nonsense.

* T[b]he first person to step down for Tinubu tonight is Akwa-ibom man(former governor), so the SS doesn't hate Yoruba/Tinubu like Igbos.
[/b]
* IF SE feel short-changed, it should be with PDP, not APC, common! you guys serve PDP for like 24 years and nothing came out of it, no president, no Vp nothing.

*If Tinubu play his card well, which I am sure he will,he will floor Atiku

A former governor?!. You really know nothing about Nigeria politics. All what is happening now is clearing the way for an Atiku presidency. Which does not make me happy anyway. But, that's the reality.

9jahotblog:
She never have any delegates in her camp. She just collect the form for collection sake niiii. Tinubu is a goner

You would be naive if you think she paid the N100m from her pocket. Her role was to make it all-inclusive for BAT.

Still part of Tinubu's master plan. I am curious if Osinbajo will step down too. Won't be surprised if he does.

Balogunodua:
The question now is....who told you NE and SS will vote PDP in bloc

If Tinubu emerges as the APC candidate, APC can forget about getting even 2%of votes from NE, SS and SE. Not with Atiku as the PDP candidate and the feeling of injustice felt in the SE.

Even APC stalwarts will pump in enough money to make sure Tinubu does not become president. OUK and Rochas in my mind.

Rawgold29:
He seems not to support tinubu taking over from him...

Winning the APC primaries does not mean he will become the president.

truthfinder319:
Delusional. Tinubu, Atiku and Kwakwanso will trounce Obi obediently. Write it down.

There might be a merger between Kwankwanso and Obi. I see it happening.

For those of you doing the calculation, i have a question. If NE, SE, and SS vote PDP en bloc, will APC still win. NC will be divided.

All these "stepdowns"are part of Tinubu's strategy. He probably paid for their forms.


People like Dimeji Bankole and this Badaru has no business being in the race.


It's all part of BAT's master plan.

Tinubu may clinch the ticket from all indications.

The influence of the Northern governors will work in his favour. I personally don't have a problem with that.

The big question is will he defeat Atiku in the general election, or have we forgetten about that?.

I just want Nigeria to aggresively move forward in terms of development. In that case Tinubu may be my prefered candidate. He wants to be president for a good reason.

I don't think he needs the money anymore. Same goes for Atiku. But, BAT is more intelligent. They've both learned fro the mistakes of IBB.

mach7:
Whatever they are cooking, will end up either sweet or bitter at Eagle Square on Monday/Tuesday.

What is needed is a free and fair primaries. That is not a hard ask for the APC leadership.

''Free and fair' is different from a 'Gang Up' . Consensus means in essence a gang up against a favourite candidate. There is nothing "Free and Fair"in that.

Hope you gerrit.

When is the damned primar taking place anyway?.


We need to move on to other pressing issues. People are dying of hunger due to rising prices. The economy is in shambles.

They are cooking something we don't know. And i don't think it's Tinubu.


I think there is a surprise candidate in the making. There's a reason Buhari is not disclosing a name publicly.

ecoco2014:
One of these 3:
-Emmanuel Udom
-Douye Diri
-Okezie Ikpeazu

What do you think?

None of the above.
His VP should come from core igbo states. But not Okezie Ikpeazu. Let him ask Ohaneze ndi Igbo to supply him a short list.

Deja vu.

Unruffledgrace:
The North are wiser than the sophisticated South...

I have no interest in anything call Nigeria

Nothing to do with being "Wiser".

They have a numerical advantage and are more united. Even if all Southern delegates vote for a Southern candidate, the North will still win if they vote en bloc.

It was expected.

He should his VP wisely. I heard he was consulting with Ike Ekweremadu, Ifeanyi Okowa and one other person.

Anyim pius should be considered too.

No matter how much they sell it after the initial launch, 6 months after the price go drop.

So if you don't need it urgently, just wait.

Knowing Elon Musk, the price no go pass N5,000 a month in Nigeria. Eventually.

"It also affected the number of delegates as statutory or super delegates made up of elected officials at all levels will not take part. Thus, only national delegates from the 774 local councils, six area councils in Abuja and 10 others will take part as delegates in today’s exercise."




This is straight Cash and Carry. Some of these delegates from remote local councils have never seen $1,000 before.

Atiku ans Saraki has the best chance thus. Unless Wike is willing to spray Rivers state money.


PDP has zero chance if Wike wins the primaries. I'm sure they know that.

Goodluck Jonathan should respect himself and decline any offer from the cabal. He should remain an elder statesman.


Besides, Tinubu is way better than him when it comes to running the economy of the country.


We should not be moving backwards. It's becoming obvious that the best people for the job will not be getting the job.
ALL SELFISH INTERESTS.

I thought NNPP is part of the "3rd Force" being formed.

Their best option is to merge all other parties and make Peter Obi the presidential candidate with Kwakwanso as his vice.

Nigeria needs a radical change from the status quo. Falana for Attorney general and minister of justice and Pat Utomi as finance minister.

I see this moving forward.

This statement is enough for him to lose woefully in a more civilized and educated country.

But those northerners vote like 'Maluu'. He will win if nominated.

I believe him. Same goes for Peter Obi, Amaechi and even OUK.

But, i'm afraid he will not get nominated because of the way Nigerian political terrain is structured.


Buhari too was not there to make money, but he was too dumb to know what is required to move the country forward.


Peter Obi remains the best candidate we will never have.

Jamesbally:
Northerners are the real politicians. Others are still learning. While IGBO never start learning sef.

You know nothing. Northerners are simply exploiting their numerical advantage given to them by a bogus census.

There is nothing to learn here. It's a game of numbers. Coupled with ethnic, tribal and religious affiliations.

Notherners do not have to do anything or even be smart. All 'aboki' knows is Sai Buhari. Chikena...

Gozac:
As a self acclaimed king maker, Tinubu has stepped on many toes and this is the time to pay him back in his coin
I see the contestants conglomerating against him during the primaries

A king maker in Lagos.

Do you realise how tiny Lagos is in relation to the rest of Nigeria. Even the economy of Lagos are not in the hands of Yoruba people.

Guy man from tey tey..

Anyway, the drama was not neccessary. EFCC have to justify entering without a court warrant. Video or not.


However, i think they must have some sort of court papers. EFCC is filled with a bunch of lawyers.

gracealonev:
Please convert the figures into USD to be certain that Nigeria's economy has impressed nobody.

Baseless comment. Why should it be converted to USD?. Do you buy bread, tomatos, or fanta with USD in NIgeria.

Our currency is Naira. We spend Naira in Nigeria.

Ordinary civil servant.

Bring back death sentence for these thieves. China style.

It will never stop until we start killing them. If only IBB did what was expected of him, corruption would have been a thing of the past in Nigeria.

It will be difficult to carry it out now with 90% of members of the NA corrupt themselves.

IBB had the golden opportunity. He blew it.
