BAT 2023. If you say Osinbanjo has no input in the current Government's failure, then you are telling us indirectly that Osibanjo has been IRRESPONSIBLE for the past 7 years.

Tinubu created the failure

.

Atiku will finish off any APC candidate from the South in a general election including Tinubu. He might just have it tough against Osinbajo cos the northerners will feel Osinbajo worked for Buhari as vice. This is why the APC is thinking of also having a northern presidential candidate to face Atiku. Stupid party

Gozac:
Osibanjo may be good which I doubt, but Amaechi remains the best among the rest
He will certainly clinch the APC presidential ticket all things being equal

Atiku will finish off anaechi

Let's assume 2,290 Naira is equivalent to Dollar at the time. If so, that means 2,290 Naira equals $2,290.

Using today's exchange rate of 594/$, that means 2290 * 594 = 1.360,260. Approximately 1.4 million Naira of today. With 1.3, you can buy a car today — even if it's tokunbo.

So, with this, it's wise to make your money in Dollar and convert to Naira. With this, you won't feel the difference.

rubbish

Tinubu shouldn't bother buying cos he'll be wasting his money. Orji Kalu too and umahi.

Blue3k:
The President shouldn't have the power to pardon criminals for state level crimes. Just like the Governors shouldn't be able pardon federal criminals. Since Nigeria is federal republic powers are divided between different tiers of government with some overlap. In the case of pardons their shouldn't be since presidential pardons only apply to laws created by National Assembly.

Section 175 of the Constitution on prerogative of mercy provides that: ” (1) the President may- (a) grant any person concerned with or convicted of any offence created by an Act of the National Assembly a pardon, either free or subject to lawful conditions; (b) grant to any person a respite, either for an indefinite or for a specified period, of the execution of any punishment imposed on that person for such an offence, (c) substitute a less severe form of punishment for any punishment imposed on that person for such an offence; or (d) remit the whole or any part of any punishment imposed on that person for such an offence or of any penalty or forfeiture otherwise due to the State on account of such an offence.

Buhari has recently pardoned former governor of Taraba Rev Jolly Nyame. He was convicted by the EFCC for  criminal breach of trust, misappropriation, gratification and obtaining valuable public properties without consideration. Legally Buhari is in his right pardon this criminal. That said there's nothing stopping the State government bringing fresh charges. This wouldn't be double jeaprody because its a different tier of government convicting him.

The problem with Nigerians is they want federal solutions to local issues. Why didn't the state prosecute this crook and lock him away? If the people of Taraba are offended by this pardon its not too late to prosecute him using the EFCC play book. The state should do what ever is necessary to achieve this outcome.

When we tell them that Amaechi will get APC presidential ticket they were shouting and raining insults.. But they can only make noise but can't stop Amaechi.

the way Atiku will beat Amaechi ehn

adolfHitler1934:
Wike knows what he's doing. He knows that he will never get the ticket but he is a strategist who want to position himself for the position of VP. He knows that the North will have it but he doesn't want to give in easily.

Atiku+Wike = by force combo for the presidency.

Peter Obi has all it takes but the man is too dull and quiet for my liking. He can't get it by that behaviour. Release money, make much noise, draw rain and hire media washmen to sell you.

no northerner will vote for him as president

NaijaCowFarm:
Leadership is not a popularity contest - Adams Oshomole

It is not arguable that Tinubu has a very large political structure. It is also not arguable that Tinubu can defeat Osinbajo in an Open Ballot system, but APC primaries are not going to be an open ballot system where people queue behind their candidates, rather it is going to be an Open-Secret Ballot system. In an open-ballot system, once I vote against you, you know, so I will be reluctant to vote another after assuring you or collecting your money. However, in an Open-Secret ballot, I can assure you that I will vote for you, collect your money yet vote my "heart".

Now on the day of the APC primaries, these are the facts that would be very clear:

Tinubu is too old to govern effectively: With the hindsight of Buhari's challenges, APC would rather go for a younger and much healthier candidate than an old and sick Tinubu. This is a clear advantage that Osinbajo would have. Most of the delegates would be easily swayed towards Osinbajo right inside the ballot cage, where they would thumb-print their ballot, fold it and come out openly to cast it in the ballot box. Mark you, it is going to be the same ballot box for all candidates, so you cannot know who was voted until the ballots are sorted and counted.

Tinubu's bad faith towards Ambode: The bad deed that Tinubu did to Ambode is still fresh in the minds of the governors, both single-term and second-term governors. it is on record that the governors overwhelmingly rejected the direct primaries simply because Tinubu and his men in NASS arranged to have them treated like Ambode. moreso, it was reported that the APC governor's forum led by Atiku Bagudu (who is still in charge by the way), went to Tinubu's residence in Abuja to beg and prostrate to the Jagaban to allow Ambode to complete his tenure, but baba shuns them. Now, he is running after the same Bagudu, even going to the Kebbi Lodge to beg then. They are sure to require their pound of flesh on behalf of Ambode.

Religious sentiments: Since 2015 Nigeria has been governed by a Muslim, Muhammadu Buhari. If another Muslim from the South takes over from Buhari in 2023, the Muslims would have had another 8 years, making a total of 16. Now when power returns to the North, obviously another Muslim would take over for another 8 years. In total, the Muslims would be president from 2015 - to 2039, a whopping 24 uninterrupted years. That is NOT FEASIBLE. Hence, rational as the delegates are, they would avoid such a trap that would easily hand power back to the PDP. The delegates would rather vote for Osinbajo than Tinubu.

Running mate wahahala: We all recall the challenges that Buhari faced in choosing a running mate in 2015. Buhari was under pressure to avoid the Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2015, even with over 10 million Northern votes in the kitty. Tells that with a Tinubu's candidacy, it would be tougher for APC. Firstly, Tinubu does not have the cult following that Buhari commanded in 2015. Secondly, the North would never accept a Northern Christian VP, this is an unwritten law. Adopting such would mean FAILURE in the North. Hence the only option that Tinubu would have is a Muslim-Muslim ticket, which would FAIL woefully at elections. Even APC NEC would advise against such a move. The obvious alternative would be Osinbajo.

Unaccounted Baggages: Accountability is the acceptance of responsibility for one's own actions. It implies a willingness to be transparent, allowing others to observe and evaluate one's performance. Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. Measured on these two words, Osinbajo would beat Tinubu by a clear distance. Firstly, Tinubu has held Lagos to a stranglehold for the past 23 years. He has made sure that his son controls all the key revenue-generating sectors of the state, the numerous toll gates, etc. His daughter controls all the markets in Lagos, his son-in-law is in NASS, and his wife is a senator for life, he receives 10% tithes from Lagos State. These are baggages that Nigeria's state cannot accommodate. Even now, he has closed NURTW in Lagos and handed it over to his cronies. Is this the type of person that Nigeria wants to give power over the nation and national treasury and power?
Responsible delegates would avoid such a person because, when push goes to shove, Nigerians would be better off without such baggages. Hence the Osinbajo appeal would suffice.

Academic and foundational credence: Tinubu's state of origin, early education, age, and birth are all mysteries. Noone knows where he is from. Noone knows his father, no one knows where he got his first school leaving certificate nor his high school certificate nor diploma. All we hear is that he graduated from some University in the USA. There are those that say that his daughter is 61 years old while Tinubu is claiming 70 years old. That is a mystery too many to be overlooked. Hence Osinbajo would come as a sterling candidate to sell rather than a Tunubu with these baggages of unexplained mysteries.

Conclusion: Osinbajo would trounce Tinubu in APC primaries. However, APC may not form the next government, no matter who they field!

nonsense

otipoju:
If PDP like una sef:

Choose Peter Obi as President and let Bukola Saraki be his Vice President.

While Obi will satisfy the Southerner, Eastern and Christian demographic; Bukola Sariki will appeal to the Yoruba, Moslem, and Northern demographic.

That is the only way PDP can unseat this devilish APC party.

You mad

He should go to Abia and do it first

Rilwayne001:
Asiwaju seems really unstoppable. Osinbajo is too featherweight.

Back in 2015, Buhari have no idea of politics nor consultations, and that was why he had been losing and crying about, until he met Asiwaju and it was Asiwaju that was carrying him about for consultation, before he eventually won.

He’s really too influential and would not be easily tamed and dictated to by all those northern oligarchs, including Buhari. Which is why most of them will be secretly wishing his bad or even setting Osinbajo against him.

No wonder he’s doing the consultation effortlessly.

Tinubu only delivered the South West. Have you forgotten the governors led by Amaechi that walked out of PDP?
