Radicalwarrior:
My verbose changes everything because you are trying to confuse betrayal with contest.

I will answer you one by one:

1. Were they ever in same party? NO. So it is not betrayal, it is CONSPIRACY.
Tinubu didn't betray GEJ as a party man. He conspired with GEJ's own party men to make GEJ a one-term president. The betrayers were Atiku, Saraki, Amaechi, Tambuwal — PDP big boys that Tinubu bought into ACN to form APC. Tinubu was the CHAIRMAN of the conspiracy. So yes, he is the mastermind.

2. Did they share same ideology? NO. That's why GEJ should never have trusted SW.
In 2011, GEJ won Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti, only lost Osun. You are correct. SW loved GEJ. What did Tinubu do? He told SW that GEJ hates Yorubas, GEJ will give them nothing. He used ACN propaganda machine to turn the same SW that voted GEJ in 2011 against GEJ in 2015. That is not superior strategy, that is ethnic blackmail.

3. Politics is a contest? Then accept that GEJ also contested and lost, no need to shout.
If politics is a contest, why are you angry when I say Tinubu made GEJ one-term? That is also contest. I am stating a fact: Tinubu contested against GEJ and won. So we are saying the same thing. You are just pained I called it betrayal of the South.

4. Obi dumped APGA, Atiku dumped PDP — Is it same? NO.
Obi dumped APGA to contest FOR presidency, not to join Hausa-Fulani to remove a Southern brother. Atiku dumped PDP because he wanted to be President. Tinubu did not just dump — he packaged a Fulani man (Buhari) to remove a Southerner (GEJ) and told Nigerians Buhari will fix Nigeria. 10 years after, see where Nigeria is. Dollar from N180 to N1,600. Fuel from N87 to N1,200. That is the superior strategy you are praising?

5. Is it Tinubu's fault GEJ couldn't hold power? YES.
Because Tinubu is the only opposition leader in Nigeria's history who never accepted defeat. From 2011 to 2015, he never allowed GEJ to breathe. Occupy Nigeria 2012 — Tinubu sponsored it. NASS blocking — Tinubu. Media war — Tinubu. He made Nigeria ungovernable for GEJ, then said GEJ is clueless.

So my brother, you are right — the one with superior strategy wins. In 2015, Tinubu's superior propaganda won. In 2023, Nigerians saw the result of that strategy — hunger.

Don't worry, in 2027, another superior strategy will make Tinubu a one-term president too. Politics is a contest, remember?

Inconsistent analogy,just to push your warped narrative to paint tinubu in any badlight possible no matter how ridiculous.

Its a democracy and tinubu has the right to support anyone he liked and adopt any strategy he wants to push his interests in asmuch it isn't illegal.....you will never find any tinubu supporter angry at obi for deciding to run but atiku is an aberration to the unwritten rule of rotational presidency,reason he is so unpopular down south.

You might be leaving under ur rock as at 2011,I was already politically conscious and an avid socio-poltical follower,we were already in the then mandate structure of ACN. we were mandated at the 11th hour to that election to vote gej and everyone fell in line,only aregbesola refused to heed.

Gej was the one that betrayed the north by seeking a second term against the popular opinion in the north that it was there turn and gej was on a borrowed mandate that he ought to return in 2015.....but sycophants a d unintelligent ones loke yourself urged him on against inherent angst from the north and SW......if gej had won in 15,tinubu wouldn't have gotten his chance to be president.

State chairmen of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) have insisted that support groups cannot set up parallel campaign structures or carry out activities without party approval.

reports that the NDC leaders spoke in an interview with Punch.

Their submissions come amid disagreements over the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement’s operations ahead of the 2027 general elections.

While some chairmen accused support groups of sidelining existing party structures, others said there was no dispute in their states and that efforts were being made to accommodate the various support groups.

The NDC Chairman in Osun State, Charles Omidiji, said no movement or group was superior to the party.

He noted that there was nothing wrong with candidates having separate campaigns, provided they obtained the party’s approval and carried the party structure along.

The chairman said it was inappropriate for any candidate to organise a campaign without involving the party, arguing that the party would be held responsible if any crisis arose during such activities.

The NDC Chairman in Osun State, Charles Omidiji, said no movement or group was superior to the party.

He noted that there was nothing wrong with candidates having separate campaigns, provided they obtained the party’s approval and carried the party structure along.

The chairman said it was inappropriate for any candidate to organise a campaign without involving the party, arguing that the party would be held responsible if any crisis arose during such activities.

He maintained that the party was supreme and responsible for the campaign structure.

“They are just groups, and we have said that the groups cannot do their campaign in isolation. They may have one-on-one campaigns because you cannot tell a candidate not to campaign on his own. They can campaign on their own, but they will refer back to the party to carry them along.

“It is illegal for any candidate to go for a campaign in a particular place and there is a crisis. It is the party people will hold responsible.

“Authorities cannot give a candidate permission to campaign except the party gives a nod. It is just like an agent; candidates cannot have their agents without the party. It is the party that owns agents. The party supervises the election. So, the party is supreme over any individual group. There is no controversy over that, and they have resolved it. We have made it clear to them,” Omidiji stated.

The chairman added that candidates who went ahead with separate campaigns in the name of their movements would be doing so independently of the party structure.

He said, “If they went ahead to have their separate campaign in the name of their movements, it means they will do the election on their own. The party will leave them to their fate because there won’t be anybody to monitor the election for them if they decide to campaign in isolation. Who will monitor; who will be their agent? It is the party that will take care of all these. Nobody to blame if they do it in isolation. They have to abide by the party constitution.”

Speaking on the mechanism the party put in place for the campaign, he said the party was working with all support and interest groups to organise a robust campaign.

The NDC Chairman in Anambra State, David Chukwudifu, told the aforementioned publication that the Obidient Movement had sidelined him and the 326 ward chairmen in the state.

He said the party was waiting for the national headquarters to intervene and resolve the matter between it and the Obidient Movement

He also accused the NDC Presidential candidate Peter Obi of not responding to his calls to intervene in the crisis.
“I am the founder and chairman of the NDC in the state. I brought the party to Anambra State from Abuja. But there are no political activities in the state because of the way the Obidients are doing things. They have sidelined every one of us, including me and the 326 ward chairmen in the state. All the existing structures in the state have been sidelined and this is affecting us.

“This crisis won’t only affect the party but also the coming election. We are only looking up to the national leadership of the party to resolve this issue.

“Since the Obidient Movement came to the party on May 3, 2026, they have sidelined everybody. We have called on Peter Obi himself, but he is not responding to our calls. If we continue this way, the party will have issues in the coming election.”
The Ogun State NDC Chairman, Femi Alao, said no movement could campaign without the party’s approval, stressing that the party was supreme.

He said, “There is nothing like disagreement between the NDC and the OK Movement. What we are saying is that the party is supreme and we should all come together to have a common front.

“You cannot have a campaign without the approval of the party. We have put in place a mechanism to accommodate all interest groups.”

Also, Kano State NDC Chairman Hussaini Meriga said the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement must abide by the party’s rules and regulations, stressing that the movement operates under the party.

“The party is supreme over any other movement. Though Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso had their separate movements before coming into the same platform to contest, their movements are under the party. They must obey the party’s rules and regulations,” he stated

This came as the NDC Chairman in Adamawa State, Ibrahim Bebetu, debunked reports of a dispute between the party and the OK Movement.

Bebetu said the national headquarters would release a campaign list that would accommodate all interest groups.

“We are working together. There is nothing like division among us. We will still have another campaign list to accommodate every interest group.

“The mechanism we have put in place is showing the record of our candidates. I believe everyone contesting has their own records. We have every resource to go out to campaign for our candidate, Peter Obi,” he said.

Stop asking nonsense question even when you knows the truth about tinubu betrayal of Jonathan and you decide to act ignorance.

Stop talking nonsense, stop defending the certificate forger called tinubu and repent before it is too late.

Your verbose changes nothing,explain how tinubu betrayed gej,were they ever in same party,did they share same ideology........politics is a contest and not a pity party and the one with superior strategy wins.

Its OK for obi to dump apga or atiku to contest against gej while its tinubu that is angering you the most.

You obviously don't even realise gej won the SW except for osun,won in lagos,ogun,ondo,ekiti and oyo.......is it then tinubu's fault he couldn't hold on to power.

The violence you are supporting and spreading,will end up consuming you all......kwantinue!!

Radicalwarrior:
Joblessness is making you talk nonsense.

OP is a rich man but you can not afford three square meal in a day.

Tinubu betray Goodluck Jonathan and now nemesis and negative karma is repaying tinubu back with one term president of Nigeria and no re-election for tinubu.

Tinubu is reaping what he sow.

Your medula is surely in that hole on ur behind readon for the fetid reasoning you jave got......tinubu betrayed gej!how?

Flets:
Data boys on the beat

What is Tinubu’s selling point for 2027 re-election?

Where in Nigeria today is exempted from the hardship?

Where exactly can Tinubu win convincingly in Nigeria today without rigging

Bulaba is very unpopular

Show us the video of remi crying as op posted,if you can't, then you have no right to abuse anyone.......We don hear,tinubu noh get selling point,how do yoi expect the blind to see anything and the deaf to hear anything.....unfortunately, you are suffering both.

Funny a man that calls his tinapa the best project in the world and calling it the much needed pivot to develop cross rivers state and putting it on the world map.......where is cross rivers today with that project......billions gone to waste and tinapa is more moribund than an old cemetery......did cross river need tinapa,the time he built it.

You then have the guts to criticise a road project that will develop the entire region and already being enjoyed by millions of Nigerians daily even while still majorly uncompleted,several communities are being transformed already with this project and many more still to come,changing the land scape of the coastal south.

What a joke!!

Validated:
Nothing like battleground. Delta, Edo, Rivers, etc will vote candidates, NOT parties.

The obi fluke in Delta and edo 23 ain't happening in 27.....take that to the bank..... even if obi gets the upper hand,he will have to sweat for it and don't think he currently has the ability to do that.

happney65:
"Get attacked"? You mean you want to beat them? Dont we have freedom of speech anymore in this country? Dont we?

Anyways that's the hallmark of your party sha

What you are doing there is a criminal act " act capable of breaching public peace" you can go to jail for that,kwantinue!!

Lie,pmb never left fuel at 145.......Nigeria with subsidy did a 500% fuel price hike from 99 to 23,with subsidy, se how much Nigeria had been wasting on fuelling kukute,aminda and that Randy guy that follows obi up and down......sorry to digress,where the guy dey since VDM blast am for him mumu attitude......VDM really finish that guy.

Which kin question be that ,why she noh go contribute....never let anyone gaslight you that as a man you must provide 100% for family, thats the biggest and the most wicked loe maen have been made to believe,.....since my wife started working,she buys gas,her own skincare products,toiletries and dstv subscription for her kids because I considered it a waste since they have tabs and we have phones.

She must cover somethings in the house,its called a union for a reason.

Karlovich:
Come rain, come sunshine, Escobar is getting buried politically in 2027.

Maduro treatment or The Hague

Taraba has been a pdp state since 99,show us what they benefited from pdp,same for the SE.....not a single road completed since 99......if wrong show us any govt that comes close to tinubu in insfrastructure in SE.

I never even knew ibro was dead.....chairman ibro Hotels,one of the most ineffectual givs in the history of kogi state and nigeria as a whole........he shares that title with his successor and namesake, idris wada.

Congrats to them delta is a known obidient stronghold and will be a swing state in 27......though the apc has equally grown more popular with the state gov now in the party.....delta,edo are battle grounds in the SS between apc and Ndc.....adc don't have any base.

You rent a few people to go inro apc rallies to sabotage their campaigns.......if you and ur gang gets attacked,u would say opposition is being intimidated.

OriOko88:
The same confidence you had then,until Obi won Lagos. Dey there dey cap. 2027 go humble all you data boys

Against a tinubu that wasn't in power......you just further buttressed my point about ur naivety.....

Tk4all:
Toh! E no concern me.

But if you are honest with yourself, GSM will reduce APC votes in the southwest significantly. He probably wants to make a statement so man is going all out.

Politics isn't has straightforward as you people always naively think.......makinde can't even win half of the 13 LGAs in ibadan let alone the entire SW.......egunjobi's seat was what obasa took because obasa was also rejected for the lagos west senate seat which was his major ambition.

Egunjobi is obasa's boy and he only wants to hold the forte in agege so as to stop any other emerging candidate, even the NDC and ADC candidate are all obasa's boys.

Eriokanmi:
Anything NDC always makes me smile. Everybody can't sleep and put their heads in same direction. Those supporting the APC today are the reasons behind the underdeveloped Nigeria. I was engaging my Chinese partner today on WhatsApp. She told me she's on her way home. She stopped at the petrol station to buy fuel and I asked how much was a liter of petrol and she said 8.3cny which is approximately 1,735 naira per liter. She even said it recently got to that amount meaning, they were buying cheaper until recently.

Whereas,China is world 2nd largest economy. They don't even have crude oil. They import. Their GDP is much higher than ours, meaning, their per capita income cum minimum wage is much more robust than ours. Yet, their pump price is 200 naira higher than ours. Sadly, anytime an apc apologist says fuel in Nigeria is cheaper, their gullible supporters would swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Doubting thomases, check out the screenshot.

Get your facts right before you keep regurgitating your purile lies,who told you China doesn't have crude oil reserves? Better go and verify.......as at 1995 when your dad's were riding Mercedes and lexis,the Chinese were riding bicycles for decades......as of 1989 China had no single inter state highway........they paid the price for development with sweat and grit, not delusional haranguing like you always do.

helinues:
Something that's yet to be approved nationally

The 36 states assemblies must make their inputs before,its sent back to NASS.

We are heading there,slowly but surely.

PBAT till 27!!

seunmsg:
This is welcome development. I hope the reconciliation is sincere and total. We need a united NURTW union as we heads to the general election next year. Obidients are free to drop in and cry their hearts out.

Can't you tell its an exercise in futility from the looks on their faces,do you know how many times thus so called reconciliation had held with no meaningful impact.

MC should just take his hands and eyes of the state union activities, he should stop interfering and trying so hard to be Godfather, there will be peace......he has gone into politics, let him face politics,he has very good leverage already.

Agali and ijaya were used to count scores and more have been lined up for counting.......if MC doesn't get off his high horse,there will continue to be acrimony......IMHO govt should just proscribe them.

Manymanymen:
CBN can celebrate a 20.5% increase in FX supply on paper, but these billions mean nothing to ordinary Nigerians struggling to eat or businesses forcing to lock their gates. You can’t feed a family with a statistical bulletin.
A net inflow of $60.81 billion means nothing when food, fuel, and transport costs are skyrocketing. Worse, FX supply choked from $1.65 billion in April to just $150.10 million in October, making it impossible for local SMEs to plan or survive.
With outflows jumping 27.83%, wealth and multinationals are fleeing. Local factories are shutting down daily due to high interest rates and bad economic ideas. Stop bragging about boardroom stats while the common citizen drowns.

Did those fx flows grow out of thin air,isn't it nigerians that are generating and driving the market.........there can't be much significant impact on the pocket of your common man if your state gov doesn’t provide good quality and affordable healthcare and education,tinubu already did his with NELFUND and free vocational education and allowances to students.......cancer and kidney centers in the 6 zones of the country to make its treatment more affordable.

You can't feel the impact if your givs don't invest heavily in agric to guarantee food security and making food cheaper......mind u, the govs own the land.

Cheap transportation by enabling CNG and EV stations accessibility in their states,what stops a state from getting 2 or 3 CNG stations per LGA,its even something LGAs can do......this can help ameliorate the high cost of transportation.

Those red buses you see in london are owned by the london city transport and not the uk govt,same applies to many other cities even Emirates is owned by dubai and not the UAE.

ironheart:
Increased because family members are begging loved once to send money to them due to the heavy financial difficulties at home

As big as India is,foreign remittances forms a major chunk of their forex inflows,same for the bangladesh your obi said he wants to copy.

Is it atiku thay are meant to like and love or soludo?

AbosedeFalade:
With this line "The government did not provide the underlying export values, product breakdown or comparison period in the statement." take this news as fake or propaganda.

Clutching at straws trying to push opposition agenda no matter how ridiculous.......we thought the economy wasn't working and tinubu has turned everything to tatters,is it Ghanaians that are enabling this progress or ghost of your ancestors.

Instead of you to get smart enough to see the progress being made and opportunities inherent to better your station in life,you are making mindless nzogbu nzogbu noise up and down

Obidients and their atikulooter friends dont care,its only rice and beans they know and free petrol from tinubu.....everyother thing can go to blazes,they don't care.

But they are ignorantly oblivious of the fact that there can't be a properous micro economy which concerns the common man without a stable and buoyant macro economy.....americans,Europeans,Japanese, chinese,saudis,qataris,emiratis,Australians all have better livelihoods because their economies are very vibrant and buoyant enough.

The crude oil we all claim makes us have endless pit of money is only 5% of our gdp,how can tbat be ever enough for 220m people.

This doesn't change the fact obi lied to everyone about his misgovernance in anambra........let him go and respond to soludo's accusations first, it's almost a week now.
