Let Wike eat his party...Aura for Aura.

Na only you think say you get crase ?

Tinubu will get only S/W votes and Southern Kaduna votes.

When we were warning against the People VS Govt, it will be commencing from the North to the S/E & S/S.

Even if PBAT somersaults 10 times with Wike & Fubara he can win Rivers State, they took the SOE in bad light.

Those Governors will remain in APC and work for the opposition like the Wike model.

Rest !

Kastonkastroll:
Mtchewwww..... If he likes he should be the leader of the entire northern hemisphere of the world, I don't see anything for him in 2027. He can only try!

Tinubu that have spent almost 25yrs with different strategies on how to become president won't let a person like mikano defeat him. Impossicant!

Who is this Sarki dude ?

And what does he think he is ?

Wondering what will be going on in the mind of Reno Omokri & Daniel Bwala the serial Atiku betrayers !

Head or tails the decision is left with Obi either to align or be a spoiler.

Asiwaju will struggle with only S/W and southern Kaduna votes even the S/S will not vote for him and Rivers even with Tompolo and Asari will show him hot pepper for the State of Emergency he introduced.

Dear Readers,

Please is it an accident that since the ADC commenced its coalition no major politician has decamped to again ?

In the last three (3) months, the volume of de-camping was weekly but has since tampered down since ADC commenced.

With the look of things PBAT may get only SW and Southern Kaduna votes and in 2027 .

PBAT allowed Ganduje and Akpabio lure him into early politicking and fake endorsements when Governance and poverty reduction should have been the frontal issue.

"Hate him or not like him but you can never ignore him, his name is Nasir El-rufai "-Kassim Shetima -July 2025.

You see that delusion that you live-in, now that Buhari has passed away that your doubt will be cleared. El-rufai is more respected in the core muslim dominated north than Atiku.

The only reason Atiku has assumed prominence is based on the number of people he placed in government agencies when he was VP and they have risen to Director Cadre.

We lived in the North and get feedback from them, just watch how the so called monolithic North will collapse into one structure for 2027.

Kastonkastroll:
Guy forget talk. Elrufai is still a featherweight politician in the north. The reason he even became a governor was because of the buhari tsunami of 2015. I will take his political sagacity serious if he is able to remove the current governor of his state.

Forget talk, we know who holds the knife and cake when it comes to Northern strongmen. Elrufai might be a formidable foe because of his intelligence but omo, where serious men are calculating, elrufai will definitely take the back seat!

.

Rest !

If he doesn't tamper down on the PMS subsidy removal policy and maintains the current trend he will not only loose popular support and his re-election, the APC will be wiped-off the Political structure of Nigeria.

With the way things are the proceeds of the subsidy has to be hurriedly ploughed back to the poor & vulnerable and sincerly m anaged intervention for the productive sector.

Godfullsam:
Are you trying to say that subsidy should be returned? wake up from your slumber mr man, subsidy is gone forever. The subsidy was already taken from the budget of the last two months of buhari administration which made it very easy for balablu to bid farewell to subsidy regime.

subsidy had over stayed it usefulness, there would never be the best time to remove it. what i expect balablu to do after subsidy removal are:

1. stop borrowing and pay up our existing debts with the funds realized from subsidy instead of increasing government allocation through subsidy proceeds.
2. Cut government expenditure to the lowest ebb possible by reducing/merging government parastatals, ministries and agencies that solely depends on federal budget (unproductive)
3. gradually float the naira with stringent measures instead of floating it at once concurrently with subsidy removal ( sign of gross insensitivity)
4. fight corruption and insecurity
5. invest heavily in agriculture and infrastructure.

unfortunately, baba just dey lavish our money with his cronies while the masses were told to suffer and endure.

Its either you are not a south easterner just trying to be funny.

Moreze:
I swear as an igbo man ,Obi failed this one woefully. Why on earth did he not attend this burial. I.dont know the advice pple around him gives him. No one ,I mean no one can be the president of this country without the help of Notherns

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was consistently warned by the foremost Petroleum Economist on the major dangers of unsequenced PMS subsidy removal.

Bala Zakka (PhD) specifically warned and predicted that the PMS subsidy removal would ultimately lead to social unrest and excruciating poverty . More disturbing and staggering are the reports from the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), National Employers Consultative Association (NECA) and LACCIMA.

The data and statistics of monetary value of the effects of PMS removal and FX unification has shown a disturbing trend;

1, Cumulatively Nigeria has lost over $20 Billion through the closing down of over 10,000 MSME and exit of multinationals in the last 24 months based on the implementation of the PMS subsidy removal & naira devaluation.

2, Input cost and transportation cost has triggered inflation which is has wiped-off disposable income with employers finding it difficult to pay overheads and break-even.

3, The Financial gains of the subsidy removal and FX unification hasn't been transparently channeled since the policy was announced. In the past the PTF and Sure-P were introduced to target infrastructural and developmental projects whilst measurable outcomes and deliverables could be measured. The Governors are the greatest beneficiaries with humongous wage bills.

4, Two (2) years assessment is enough to know if a government's policy direction will be effective or far reaching as such the trickle down effect has shown business as usual. No new Billionaires, No intervention programmes even after several announcements from the FG, no shock absorber for the citizens etc.

5, Asides from the $5B Bonga Oil field investment by Shell, the $1.5 Usan Deep water Investment & $600M lithium Processing factory in Nassarawa by the Chinese no other FDI has been recorded in the last 2 years. Meanwhile, Kenya has attracted over $12B in the corresponding 24 months under review.

It's time for PBAT to have a mid-term review on this twin policies or else he will go down as the most insensitive government.

If Reno Omokri should escape being hurt very soon.

He clearly is punching above his weight category.

I live in a S/E dominated area within Amuwo Odofin LGA and i can say that Reno is joking with something far bigger than his second generation.

Please forward this message to Reno.

Lol.....

Are you a northerner ?

Nigeria is the Fifth (5th) largest muslim nation in the whole world and core Northern Nigeria has over 80% of that population.

The idea of a Monolithic North doesn't exist when it comes to religion.

The ADC with Atiku & El-rufai will teach you that analogy in coming months. The demography, biases, culture and political sentiments are not like southerners - they move in one direction.

Did you see Ganduje with PBAT today ?

Forget it !

benardtotti:
Rest ! There is no 12m votes for anybody, not even atiku , you all will work hard now to get votes , and a kind reminder the south ain't voting a northerner in 2027 , just forget it ,all these your threats that the north will do this , the north will do that is DEAD ON ARRIVAL .

Bayo Onanuga and Reno Omokri will cost PBAT his 2027 re-election with their unguarded statements.

The Minister of Information- Alhaji Mohammed Idris who should be in charge of Presidential communication has remained someone bringing more accolades for PBAT through his demeanor and tact.

Onanuga and Reno Omokri ( Although de-facto) have won PBAT more political enemies in the last 24 months.

Mark this word and i will come back in 2027.

Smoking Cigarettes & Masturbation.

More Characters needed here.

If PBAT would loose the Presidential Elections in 2027, it will be hinged around the unsequenced and abrupt removal of the PMS subsidy.

An economic analyst describes what the Presidency did as the removal of the tooth of a patient without analstelsia and expecting the patient not to complain of pain.

The price of staples like Rice have begun an upward trajectory once again whilst the major feedback from Farmers remain input cost & transport cost directly affected by the PMS subsidy removal.

Government in the last twenty four (24) months has lost over $20B through closure of SMEs and exit of multinationals and saved $10B from the PMS subsidy removal.

Infact, NNPC according to Gov. Hope Uzodinma was not remitting any monies to the federation through FAAC for nine (9) months making it difficult to track subsidy claims expense whilst the FIRS held forth.

PMS subsidy removal should have given birth to a PTF or SURE-P establishment where priority programmes would be targeted for the shocks Nigerians currently experience.

The Governors who are the major beneficiary are not as accountable and transparent with distributable revenues with over-invoiced contract and fraudulent palliative programmes.

I totally support another round of six months of suspension for Natasha.

Let the Ibira people conduct another election and bring another candidate as Senator.

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is an example of bad parentage and lack of home training now magnified on a national scale.

What does she think she is sef ?

No apology, No resumption.

Yes.

Very correct, the price of crude tanked 50% below benchmark budgeted price.

Okonjo Iweala and the Federal Government were taken to court by the Governors led by the Gov. Fasola to abolish the excess crude account as it was not constitutional.

They wanted all the funds in excess of $15B shared amongst federating units since some states couldn't pay salaries with distributable revenues, states like Osun State, Ekiti State, Ondo State, Kogi State, Oyo State etc.

Please use your internet properly before responding.

GEEBITE:
Economic recession during Jonathan's time really? How do you say this without your conscience pricking you!!!

Ekiti was doing it...Rest please.

Fayemi inherited six (6) months salary arrears from Fayose.

Omenlon:
why una dey turned history upside down like this, only Osun State was notorious for paying half salaries in the south west during GEJ regime. Yes, other states could be owing one or few months salaries but they never indulge in Osun State modulated salary structure system.

Adeleke should not allow himself be mis-advised.

Aregbesola made that statement as a signal to the emergence of ADC and not the removal of Adeleke.

It will be political suicide for Adeleke to think he can run his primaries with the PDP platform without the support of a third party like Aregbesola.

APC and PBAT's closest ally is Gboyega Oyetola who also doubles as his nephew and close confidant.

Aregbesola had a focus on Educational infrastructure when he was the Governor of Osun state and he performed excellently.

He built MEGA schools with Badminton Courts, Basketball courts, massive football pitches and excellent teacher quality. Osun is a civil service state and half-salaries were paid in the Ekiti, Ondo, Osun and Oyo State during the economic recession period during the Goodluck regime.

Expect more defections ladies and Gentlemen !

Agreed, Buhari was a part failure because we endured eight excruciating years, now we are ready to move against catastrophe.

The Governor of Bayelsa State (Diri), Rivers (Sinminalaye Fubara) & Osun (Adeleke) were meant to decamp but I am sure will use their cognitive senses that except for massive rigging, the ruling party might not stand a chance in 2027.

It's a glaring undisputable fact.

Nigerians fail to realise that Buhari was one of the biggest and most misunderstood President in its History.

Your post cannot be ignored and has been succinctly put.

However, the day PO agrees to that arrangement he will not get 50,000 even if he kneels down to beg his followers.

Atiku should accept to be the Party/ Coalition leader, He will enjoy strategic appointments and can even groom his educated and political savvy son to take over.

Once Atiku is flag bearer, the entire south from Lagos State to Cross Rivers and the North Central state will vote for PBAT.

Atiku should be the person listening to the voice of reason !

In mathematics there is probability and in this case, His probability of becoming President if he contest as President is 15%.

The Probability if PO contest without Atiku is 10%.

The Probability of Obi as Presidential with an open support of Atiku moves to 90%.

And the probability of Atiku with Obi is N30%.

Be wise sir.

Hemanwel:
Even though I am 100% Obidient,...

Let me use this opportunity to advise Mr Peter Obi and fellow Obidients like me as we approach the 2027 elections.

To Obidients: Let's stop this naive radical approach of supporting our man, Peter Obi. Let's drop this idea of "Obi is qualified to be President or is a presidential material; hence, he can't be deputy to anybody", "2027 is Peter Obi or nothing", " Obidient Movement is bigger than Peter Obi", etc. Politics doesn't work that way!

Remember, despite late President Buhari's cult-like followership in the north, coupled with his virtue of integrity, he still had to align with the 'powers that be' before he could become the president, after three failed attempts. We all know that Peter Obi won the last general elections but was rigged out. This is what will continue to happen, unless he forms a coalition with other political heavyweights. He certainly cannot do it all by himself. This is Nigeria. Our democratic ideals hasn't gotten there yet.

Again, in 2013, when the APC was formed, the current president, Tinubu, temporarily shelved his ambition for late Buhari (someone he knew could get the northern bloc votes) to pave the way for his turn - which he is enjoying today. If he had insisted on contesting the 2015 elections, he probably would have lost, and might not have been president today

Let's also remember that Peter Obi is the leader of the Obidient Movement, therefore, we - as followers - are to follow him to wherever he goes. We are to listen to him. We are not to decide for him. He is the politician and he sure knows what's good for him. If being in the coalition party and deputizing Atiku is the platform/vehicle in which he could achieve his ambition of becoming president someday, so be it!

To Peter Obi: I will advice that you learn from late President Buhari for his decision to align with the 'powers that be' in 2013. Learn from Tinubu who temporarily had to sacrifice his ambition for Buhari.

I believe the Atiku/Obi ticket is the only ticket that can remove Tinubu in 2027. It's also the same ticket that can make Obi realize his ambition of becoming president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Mallam Nasir El-rufai is the new leader in the North.

El rufai is from the CPC extraction, has been visibly around Buhari even before 2015 and is more radical in his more conservative about Islam which is the dominant religion in the core North.

Atiku on the other can't control the charisma of Buhari as he was seen more as a Puritain and influenced major projects in the North during his PTF days.

ogascomax:
In life everyone has his or her own opinion but I am only surprised that you guys are naive about what Tinubu plan is concerning Southern votes. Obi can only win Eastern votes. Obi will fail woefully in the South. You think those governors are defeating for nothing.
Atiku cannot clear the North is a big joke. Atiku is now the political leader of the North after the death of Buhari. Know that and have peace.

Grapevine has it that the core of the buharist CPC bloc have sentiments around Mallam Nasir El-rufai as the most suitable & influencial person amongst the core north to galvanise the cult-like followership that Buhari enjoyed.

With the strategic advantage Mallam Nasir El-rufai will be enjoying in the coming season and a sizable share of the followership of Buhari who are die hard conservatives, it will be best and of strategic benefit to rally round Peter Obi for a single four (4) year tenor.

PBAT stands no chance of a second position today with the combination of Peter Obi & Nasir El Rufai.

Fortunately they are Arch- rivals of the President and belong to same coalition.

If Adeleke is strategic he should have a collaboration with Aregbesola and win the state for PDP.

That's a better option.

Oyetola did nothing significant during his four year tenor to be given another opportunity.
