@ the bolded... isn't far from the truth. But with an igbo vice with Tofa I think it is fair enough.

But my surprise is the disinformation peddled that igbos hated abiola so much and he lost with a wide margin like the pic below.

I see.
It's always proper to put the record straight else agents of misinformation will feast on it and spread it faster.
Thumps up to you.

He never said he made Buhari the president alone, he said he led the battle from the front.

All my life, the narrative was igbos never voted for abiola. Just for me to find out today that abiola got 47% of all Igbo votes... Common like 47% is huge na. Yet no reciprocity politically from my western brothers. In 1999. Igbos gave obasanjo 85% of their votes.

This is for those that think disliking Tinubu means hatred for Yorubas

The 1993 election was a two horse race between Abiola of SDP from the South and Tofa of NRC from the North.

If Abiola, a southern candidate got 47% from the South East and Tofa from the North got 53% , that's not a show of enough southern Comradery worthy of being boastful of.

It was clear that Obasanjo of PDP wasn't the candidate of the Yoruba in 1999, Olu Falae of AD was and the South East didn't vote Falae.

Thank you for the mention, but I don't do the Igbo Vs Yoruba thing.

When did the president change his mind about hand picking his successor?

This people be playing themselves like ping pong

So Punch really published this story?

Well, the 'step down' is in quotation marks. I should have been able to discern earlier.

Do we even realize that those guys could have opted for the palace of Olowo instead and nothing could still have happened.

Labour should be careful o.

Which kind rough play be this ?

So US has embassy in Russia that hasn't been closed.

Truly international politics aren't run on emotions.

...and all of these under the rulership of a Rtd. General.

They said GEJ was clueless.

Abuja o.

When they were running riot in Niger, shebi the government looked the other way.
Now they're emboldened to move to the Capital City.

Who would have ever thought we could descend into this mess in security under the rulership of a Rtd. General

Who will believe that Nigeria is being led by a Rtd. General at the moment.

Not unexpected.

No intelligence report.

This isn't some remote village in Kaduna or Zamfara ( apologies to the residents of these states) where the terrorists hold sway.
This is Owo, a prominent town in Ondo, a state in the South West.

No, there's more to this, but to what purpose?

Damn!

It is obvious that the current security arrangements cannot secure Nigeria and Nigerians.

Let every state protect her citizens.

Empower every LG to protect her indigenes.

Gunmen attack of this magnitude is strange to South West and couldn't have been carried out by Southwesterners.

Even if they don't want a particular candidate to fly their flag, they should at least team up to defeat him at the primaries and not through the back door.

This Shettima be dropping lines since yesterday.

It's simple then.
Pick a consensus from the aspirants that had keyed into it, then let the annointed candidate slug it out with the ONLY candidate that refused the consensus option.

Does that not make the job easier with less of bad blood?

few minutes ago on his twitter handle

That's true oo. I just confirmed it.

The obscure battle line has been made obvious now.

When was this statement made?

Were they not once business and Political partners?

Those who the shots were directed at must have received them and preparing a robust counter shots.

The next 72 hours will the interesting.

Politicians are special breed of hypocrites.

You can't abuse and malign me publicly as those guys do to GEJ and expect me to laugh with you when we meet, how do they fake these smiles?

He wasn't even charged to court.

Hope he bounces back with all of the deals he has lost.

How many of this certificate will Atiku has in his library?

It's a very tight corner APC has found itself.
Eventually the extension granted by INEC may not avail them enough opportunity to solve the myriads of problem bedeviling the party.

There were no primaries in most states. The governors simply wrote the results in favor of their preferred candidates.
They have played into the hands of the President who will inturn decides who flies the flag of the party.

Consensus will always breed bad bloods.
Let everyone go to the field and show their strength in a free and fair process.

You have put up a great fight, but the system worked against you.
Don't relent and the discouraged. Together the system could be sanitised

Seems incoherent.

Maybe a full video will be clearer.

He'll go to ZLP since APGA is a no no

But seriously, Pat should withdraw for him before they descend on him.

This family again?

Better than keeping him in their custody.

The prosecuting team shot ensure they have a watertight case against him otherwise the Gestapo like arrest will be a comedy.

Was there no contest?
These people should quit whining.
Atiku's part of the North too hasn't produced the president since God knows when.
Plus PDP hasn't also produced Yaradua as a Northern President which didn't even last up to three years.

You see, everyone has a story of marginalization to tell.

They should rather identify and campaign for their chosen candidate instead of dishing threats that may further infuriate would -be- voters.

PDP chose a Northern candidate, how is that Tinunbu or Osinbajo's fault?
