Even APC know they lost the election fair and square.

madridsta007:
Of course. And I think they know it. (Meanwhile, I was being sarcastic there).
I have followed events in Nigeria for over 2 decades now and I have been priviledged to have read about Nigeria's pre-colonial, colonial and post-independence times. There is one consistent theme (amongst others) and that is the amnesiac nature of Nigerians.

Nigerians forget a lot.

So I expect the South West to attempt to galvanise the "South" through their immaculately gifted press-men. Eventually, when the Fulani Cabal goes in for Tinubu. Which they would. Would they win in their attempt to galvanise the Southern base? From historical evidences, they would. Nigerians are forgetful. Dangeorusly so. Would that "remove" Buhari and his Fulani cabal? It depends if they reach out to another part of Nigeria to build an alliance. If they do, then they would remain.
Nigeria "exists" on the foundations of a Tripod- Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba. One can rule effectively standing on 2 parts of that tripod.

Yes, Nigerians use to be forgetful but not anymore with the advent of social media and citizen's journalism. The SW has lost the hegemony on the media, nobody will listen to their cries of 'aluta and activism' when they leave the high table again in Nigeria's volatile political system where Opposition becomes mainstream and vice versa within a twinkle of an eye.

Getting it wrong
Loool we played opposition deliberately and we built the wealthiest Region in Nigeria / west Africa

We removed military from power and grew the seed of democracy

Now we are ready to play mainstream politics

So shut it
You have 0 clout
You have 5 states Yorubas occupy 10
We have more political clout than you

Lol..Nobody plays opposition politics willingly in Nigeria. Not even Awolowo who tried to be president severally or MKO. You wanted to be at high table so you can 'chop'. So shut it!

Those of us who have have studied Nigerian politics know that a politically volatile and unstable country such as this can never have permanent mainstream and opposition players in the politicosphere. Your seat at the high table is not permanently guaranteed. Even you know this. Same with East and others. So quit being airheaded.

Every other thing you said is just a piece of nincompoopery.

SalamRushdie:
The bottom line here is that he never got to see the 20 naira litre petrol he always lied about ..Tam David west was a sadist who always wanted to see Nigerians suffer

I still have the newspaper interview where this man claimed that buhari will bring the price of fuel down to N20 if made president.

madridsta007:
The whole of Yoruba land would have staged a second Occupy Nigeria Protest.
Sowore would have galvanised using Sahara Reporters medium.

Anyway, I trust the South West. They will soon protest. They are not hypocrites so they would protest this rubbish. I trust them .

There is no protest that will come from yorubaland that will be supported by the rest of Nigeria anymore. I still feel like a fool trekking from the streets of yaba to Gani fahwehinmi freedom park to protest the fuel price hike during GEJ. I feel used and ripped off. The whole thing was a scam. What if I had been shot that day?

Omoodua007:
Igbos should know by now their political calculations have been failing since 2011, 2015 and 2019 so will it fail 2023.

Don't be full of hot air. You only started getting your so-called mainstream political calculation right in 2015, just a few years ago, you've been getting it wrong since 1960s till then. Stop insulting people, yours is also likely to fail too one of these day. Don't be an airhead.

jumper524:
lol, it takes a northerner to understand their politics. Stop analyzing our situation we know and understand better.
Come 2023 am voting a competent southern candidate and majority of we northernerns are doing same..
Note: majority of Nigerlites are Muslims including the Gbagyis there. and for the records, religion is never a voting factor in Niger state,
southern Kaduna the only region with high christain population approximately 75/25 yet in terms of final result in the entire state, it was still 54/46.

Face it: religious sentiment is dying by the day in the north.
Kaduna and plateau state of today can hardly ever have religious crisis unlike previous years, people are getting smarter by the day..

Another conveninent lie you are blowing here is that religious politics is dying in the north. It's a lie you are telling yourself in order to sleep at night because you know that the same anti-southern/christian propaganda that APC used in 2015 and 2019 to mobilize almajiri voter will be unleashed on you if the SW contests in 2023.

jumper524:
im not yoruba muslim, but trust me your the biggest loser in Nigeria political space and its not because your incompetent but because you naturally undermine yourself..

Mind you the north never voted against Atiku because of peter Obi.
You guys can keep deluding yourself in the lower political space all because of the mentality of "i was right all along"
Things have changed over time and things keep changing.
You better move with the pace or you derail with previous results..

That the north voted against Atiku because of Peter obi is the biggest lie you SWners always peddle because of your knack for propaganda, you also wanted VP the ticket for SW in pdp and it wasn't given to you that's why you are bitter. Your major aim in 2015 is to shut out South East from both parties but it didn't work out.

Atiku/Obi got more votes from the North than many of us even expected, including you. Stop deceiving your hateful selves.

The easiest ways to make seperatist group like IPOB lose their ammo is to ensure the presidency moves East. We are well aware that there are elements who enjoys the pain and resentment that the East is going through. The only reason they want the East to be denied presidency is not because their lives will be better but it is just to continue to taunt the East. These people know themselves are all over this website. These anarchist elements are more dangerous than boko haram, opc and ipob put together. They know themselves and must be checked.

emeijeh:
What about this guy?

send it to NPF handle on twitter

omenka:
Secondus has been and remains a living breathing clog in the wheel of progress of the opposition. Sadly, any attempt to get rid of him at this juncture will precipitate a crisis that could potentially see to the final burial of pdp.

Then campaign for Ali modu sheriff to become national chair like you did last timw because you wanted PDP dead.

Although sources said APC plans to delay the selection of its Presidential candidate in 2022 to see how PDP solves its own puzzle, the idea of retaining the Atiku/Obi ticket sounds a plausible option.

I still maintain that PDP must never make the mistake of zoning the 2023 ticket till APC zones theirs. APC is the ruling party they should take the first step which will determine how PDP shoots.

If it means postponing the PDP national convention, so be it. But PDP must never choose it candidate before APC does, if they are wise and serious about 2023.

MetaPhysical:
Haaaa...hahahahahahahaha.....
Junaid has found a cheap way to trend. Today boost Yoruba ego and spite Ibo. Tomorrow boost Ibo ego and spite Yoruba.

You are the only one who understands the guy's modus operandi.

Alhaji Junaid and the art of pressing SW mumu button since 1914.

Fixed match! The Ref is clearly part of the racket.

Land matter wey no dey die.

maynation:
You are his enemy you want to end his political reign.

Even Buhari can't win this election.

Akwa Ibom isn't Kano nor Osun.

He was the one who ran to court and the court ruled in his favour. Let him resign and contest.

Akpabio should resign and contest.

IamPatriotic:
He doesn't have to resign, Fayemi didn't resign even after his victory until few days to his inuagrations

Fayemi resigned before contesting. It is the law.

It's going to be a tough one for Akpabio. Akwa Ibom is a core PDP state including his own local govt. If he resigns his ministerial post, he might lose at both end and become vulnerable.

He should be wise like Ngige, Sylva and co just stay in his ministerial post. APC's fortunes in SS states are worse than in the SE. Ekpeyoung is likely to still have him thrashed at the re-run.

A bird at hand....

Why are people pretending they weren't warned in 2015?
Anyway na siddon look I dey for my office.

I smell sabotage from somewhere.

partnerbizn5:
The executive is the problem.
They have so much powers. The ultimate power is guns.

---Mao Zedong

The court can give orders but the judge won't go there to challenge those with guns, if they fail to respect the order.

Another issue is our culture and orientation. We don't respect institutions.

This exactly why the FBI, police and CIA are under the Department of Justice (DoJ) in the US. The white man knew that absolute executive powers corrupts absolutely. Black man should learn.

Don't ever try it. It will come back to haunt you.

The same people who want to stiffle social media were the same people who rode on the same social media to denigrate and insult the office of the president during GEJ's time.

Anyway when the bill becomes law, tobcall the president to order on social media will lead to imprisonment. Many will go to jail. They are already testing waters and have already stiffled the print and conventional media with fines, license withdrawal and threats of shutdown. Channels and AIT are case studies.

I also wonder why the sponsorers of anti-social media bills are always from the north. Last dispensation it was Sen. Na'Allah who sponsored the failed bill during Saraki's time as Senate president, today it is another senator from kaduna.
This is really disturbing.

galadima77:
Ran away from steady darkness in Minna to Kainji (power generation host community), thinking life would be better but guy as I type this na pure unadulterated darkness.

Lol..Odiegwu o!

MelesZenawi:
Lolzzzzzzzzzzzz

You did well with this upper cut.

Actually it was just a honest and dispassionate observation. That's all.

On one condition, If APC fields a SEner. But if APC fields a SWner after 16 years of SW as president and VP then Atiku has every right to contest because the zonal rotational policy have been desecrated.

Finally, PDP should wait until APC reveals their flagbearer in 2023.

No one will eat his cake and still have it.

Lol

What wiseman saw sitting down in 2015...

Every ethnic group have their internal faultlines. Some are very good at hiding their faultlines from outsiders, while others are loudmouthed about it.

A man of principle.
