Note: I decided not to add or subtract vote from anyone despite the following:
Tinubu failed woefully on economy and security so the “Lagos builder” rhetoric has expired, people have seen him for who he is. 70% of Tinubu’s votes in 2023 came from Buhari. With Buhari’s passing, those 5.5 million votes are expected to be split between mostly Kwankwaso, Atiku, and Tinubu.
Peter Obi on the other hand has gained respect from many. Despite the result of the 2023 election, he didn’t retire to tha background waiting for the next election, he engaged in philanthropy and went about building bridges across the country.
Atiku has managed to stay under the radar, preferring to do groundwork politics behind the scenes.
Kwankwaso has maintained his lane and stronghold.
Shettima has been somewhat missing in action.
Your analysis is very funny and lame at best.....you refuse to take cognisance of the ever changing dynamics in politics.....obi leaving the LP has lost him about a 1/4 of his votes and support base,you saw it in edo and first hand in ANAMBRA,obi couldn't even muster any votes for the party...... Obi not being the flag bearer in 27 has lost him about half his votes in 23,then he teaming with atiku the perennial runner and most corruption labeled presidential candidate in the history of Nigeria,coupled with his hausa Fulani heritage,this alone would loose obi substantial support especially in the south and middle belt.
Apc on the other hand is growing ever stronger by the day Similar to pdp in 03 and 07......tinubu won that election with substantial votes from Lagos and Kano despite coming second he also won rivers,right now rivers and Kano are already aligning with him with votes and huge financial resources.....the opposition doesn't come anywhere close in terms of finance and structure and everything happening to them is a well calculated strategy by tinubu himself and need I remind you,naija politics is highly transactional and there is nothing atiku and obi combined can offer anyone that tinubu can't double.
AMINDA: Damola, are you already pivoting from Ribadu and Shettima to Kwankwaso? Once upon a time during the 2023 elecions, it was Elrufai. Where is Ganduje today? How many people are you all going to promise the ticket to? You all think you haven't been clocked yet right?
Do not worry yourself,the next presidential candidate of the APC after tinubu is going to be an unknown politician ,most likely professional...... typical tinubu style.
MadPolitician: Ben Bruce na anywhere belle face. Very anyhow human being with all sorts "sophisticated" whinings about how to make things right while he is busy doing every thing wrong... All over the place..
He has been friends with tinubu long before he ventured into politics,they are both Lagos boys.
tito44: Oponu. This quantum stealing and corruption happened under the clueless one's regime, that you supported to high heaven. Only God knows what will be uncovered after Tulumbu the thief is done with Nigeria
But now supported by the purposeless coalition......how can they claim to come salvage Nigeria and support this level of avarice......malami is the architect of his own problems.....stir if politics and enjoy your loot in peace but no,he wants to be gov by force,who dash am?.....for your info tinubu isn't even the one fighting him directly,bagudu the former gov and idris the current one wants him crippled politically forever,so it's a fight between brothers.
Putindbutt: It is Nairaland lawyers they were forming " you don't know law" on Nairaland. Boasting that Mankinde should go ahead with the convention and that nothing would happen. All of them have gone hidden under their bed, leaving Makinde and Bala to carry their cross.
Nairaland SANs: You don't know law..
Even saraki warned them to err on the side of caution and suspend the convention pending when all the crises can be resolved but makinde didn't listen .......the reason he is crying right now is basically for the fact that he knows he has made a huge political blunder......4 govs already left after that charade and 2 are on their way out,leaving only makinde and bala Mohammed and trust me wike will never let them rest......they barked up the wrong tree.
Sonnobax15: ShopRite couldn't survive the economic shege which we've been plunged into,thereby sending them into the Mr. Biggs way
ShopRite just couldn't compete simple and stop yapping rubbish,they grew too big and too rigid to adapt to changing patterns in the retail sector........ "economic shege" as your deluded mind would have you believe......why is are jendol,justrite,blenco etc all growing and opening outlets daily......is it foreigners or ghosts that are patronizing them?
Racoon: This is a senseless threat and unstatemanly of someone of a VP status. How does this one enhance participatory democracy. Perhaps the APC is still deluded about what happened to the PDP.
Imagine what the global community will be thinking of our polity. Nothing new! This is the APC brand of toutish, thuggery, brigandage, agbero violent kind of politics.
TrumP that you so love and beg daily to come recolonise u said and did worse to opposition but he is your hero
Hemanwel: All these are just for 2027 elections. How a president of a nation will pay a condolence visit to someone who is unknown to many in the country, just so that he can appeal to his kinsmen.
Till date, Tinubu has not paid a condolence visit to the late Niger-Delta Elder statesman, Pa E. K. Clarke
You are being robbed blind in broad daylight and you are looking for people to come help you comment like you can't even fathom the gravity of the problems bedeviling you......also thank you for bringing peter obi into the firing line,be assured justice will be done to that.
Your igbo rep that is only gaslighting and blowing hot air, punching the air at best ..... Thought he is a principled politician as he would always have us believe,why is he leaving the pdp and abusing others who did same as being selfish.....why can't he remain in pdp and salvage the party,he knows there is nothing for him in the apc while orji uzor kalu is still alive.
Nigeria have no business buying fuel over 500 naira per liter. Don't come here creating a false and demonic sense or impression that Nigerians are ok with the current pump price.
710 naira for a liter is still very high for Nigerians!
Why not tell them to get the fuel for free.......do you even have any idea of the cost component of pms......diesel prices have equally being going down but you fail to acknowledge these positive developments so you don't look foolish after all you and your anti tinubu ilk doomsday prophecies " petrol will still get to 2,500 per liter" "petrol will become unaffordable and life will be unbearably hard for Nigerians because of tinubu policies"now look at how you are being disgraced by the same man you love to hate.....as you have wished urself,life can keep being unbearable for you while we keep enjoying these positives in the economy
Passionnn: They are making more money yet Tulymbu wants to borrow another 20 trillium. Heartless rogue's in power
You have no understanding of the report and you come out to disgrace yourself and your family ......did the report tell you the monies belong to the fg?
Do you mean "yes daddy" obi was just wasting is time and was trying to drag you into playing politics......GEJ really depended on you in 15 but it's obvious you didn't get involved enough.
Like he could win in the first place..... someone that couldn't win ordinary party primaries when he was the all powerful AGF and in the ruling party APC now thinks he can win the governorship seat from an unknown party in the opposition.....bunch of jokers in that ADC......malami ko,aboki ni!!!
AqualinaXYZ: Wolosho Soyinka be like Tinubu never pay u your monthly APC stipend
Old age that came with empty brain
Useless man
That's the difference between everyone and obedient ........tinubu supporters will praise him when he does well and are often always quick to chastise him if he falters but not sane for the neo racist,supremacists,emergency lovers of Nigeria who will never see any fault in their neo fascist lord and savior,obi!!
Horus: The Burkina Fasso Army will shot any plane entering their airspace. They don't care that you claim to be a friend of Russia, and the fact that the 11 Nigerians soldiers are still held in captivity today is another proof. Your claim to be a friend of Russia will not stop a missille to hit your plane. The Confederation of Sahel States don't care about what you think or believe. Yesterday on their National Television they warned that from today they will shoot down any unauthorized aircraft entering their airspace. Period . There will be no talk, no debate and no discussion before they fire their missilles. At least they are fair because they Warned in advance
They can only bluff and nothing more,you think it's easy to just shoot down the aircraft of a bigger and richer neighbor which it's in your best interest to be friends with ......oga,this isn't USA-russia or India Pakistan.
Horus: You are even more delusonial here. They don't need to call Russia because they already acquired russian weapons and they know how to use them. If you violate Burkina Fasso airspace and get shot by a missille, it is a missille launched by the Burkina Fasso Army, not by the Russian army, even if the missille was fabricated in Russia, so please forget about Russia and stop believing that the Burkina Fasso Army need the presence of Russian soldiers to use a missile. They have been trained to do it even before buying the missilles. So stop thinking that they are devoid of intelligence, they know how to protect their airspace alone and they certainly don't need the permission or the technical assistance of the Russian army to do it.
You can't use Russian weapons against Russian friends......you are obviously bereft of any iota of cognitive ability in discourse of this nature .... definitely beyond ur level.
Trump had to order netanyahu to apologize to Qatar for bombing hamas members on qatari soil with American weapons and technology......trump simply told him"Qatar are our friends"
Horus: You are very delusional, and if you believe that you are so powerfull then take a plane and try to enter Burkina Faso airspace.
The reality is that you will be dealing with Russian anti-aircraft missiles, so I hope that your plane have an ejection seat systems.
If your plane do not have have an ejection seat systems then I tell you R.I.P in advance
It's obvious you are lilliputian in erudite discourse on international politics and relations..... Russia has no reason what so ever to help those boys scout in having direct confrontation with Nigeria..... Nigeria isn't a direct adversary and Russia knows the importance of Nigeria in the west African sub region, Nigeria isn't even directly in conflict it antagonistic of Russia,both countries have very good and beneficial relationships and Nigeria joining brics is a huge factor in that regard...... Nigeria has a far bigger worth in international politics than Burkina Faso or any if those sahel states.
anonimi: That is how we have allowed political interests to overshadow our expectations for government services and utilities provided by well paid civil servants.
What Finitri has done is what other governors of the 36 states have done in the last 26 years of return to democracy because of the misplaced priorities of 200 million tribal mumus who use zoning and rotation to fill government positions in the local, state and federal levels.
But it beats me hollow all the time,reckoning Lagos which is the richest state and the most rconomily viable isn't building multi billion naira conference centers while states that can't provide the most basic social service are embarking on such wasteful enterprise.
Horus: Unfortuneltly what I think or you think is irrelevant, what matter is what the military of the Confederation of Sahel States thinks or believe.
The Confederation of Sahel States has the right to seize the Nigerian military aircraft and its equipment as war booty, which means they can
use it or study its technology and attempt to reverse-engineer or exploit any intelligence or technological secrets it contains.
Stop all your despicable attempt at propaganda,it's infantile at best and only palatable to deadheads who can't tell their left from the other........Burkina Faso and those sahel rookies can't do zilch in open confrontation with Nigeria,they know this,their govts are so unstable that they look for anything just to look effective......you wouldn't want your biggest and richest neighbor to align with your conquerors, France!!
Lagos state gov alone can sponsor a coup to overthrow that Putin wanna be let alone the fg.....if they know they are serious,let them hold those men and the aircraft beyond 48 hrs.
Solofresh2: Most people are not vigilant at all If I ever find myself with a sex worker (stranger) I can never sleep with my two eyes closed I hardly sleep with friends comfortably talk less of a stranger to the point of stabbing me It will never happen Well she should be sentenced to death by stabbing
Bro forget all nah mouth.....pray never to meet that person who is ready to kill u.......just pray very hard that no one should ever have any reason to want to kill you......may the lord help you if they come prepared.
You can't eat your cake and still have it, your relevance in Osun state has been buried, APC used you during Oyetola election, and you are no more useful to them....
AMINDA: There's no one more qualified than him amongst the contenders. As former National Secretary of the party, the least he deserved was to at least participate in the party primaries. Tinubu is openly showing favoritism towards his cousin, Oyetola. In other states, we saw how he did everything including throwing long-term party loyalists under the bus to attract sitting governors and handing over party structures to them. Why is Osun's case different? With the same pattern repeated in Enugu, Ekiti and now Osun, APC is gradually showing that it has no internal democracy. If this continues, the implosion of the party is inevitable. The likes of Aregbesola have been vindicated.
I beg to differ sir. If he was favouring his cousin,then he would have ran for the guber ticket then and ensured he won since is the president......there has to be a balance, politics as a game is way deeper than you think,it's ever shifting sands especially in naija context......adeleke has played his game and the powers that be in aso Rock has favoured him,he has made the right offers and has gotten the right terms....... Omisore stopped him from crossing to the APC which tinubu would have wanted but he only won the battle but is already loosing the war...... however,I know omisore is a very experienced politician and I know he understands the game well not to go against tinubu.
Kelklein: They are still following VIPs in mufti and Camouflage uniforms..
Many are still gurading private properties..
The reason most big men prefer the services of Police is because they are the ones legally allowed to hold hard riffles and any weapon.. private guards and vigilantes
The Civil Defence that government recommends, only a handful of them are trained on weapon handling.. majority only does Basic Civil Security works..
The government should go a step further to grant licences on renowned private security outfit esp thise owned by retired officers of the Forces, to carry hard rifles and also the Vigilantes and Forest Guards... This alone would generate over half a million jobs in Security Business across the country.
You are very right.... Their are so many able bodied retired military and even police guys who can fill the gap.....many young people can come in and br trained on security duties..... There is so much money to be made which was hitherto going in pockets of those policemen unaccounted for and non taxable.
YORUBAS IN KWARA ARE BEING SLAUGHTERED UNDER ITHE WATCH OF FULANI EMIR AND FULANI GOVERNOR,... YET THEIR KINSMEN AND GOVERNORS ARE UNPARTURBED ... INSTEAD THEY ARE PREOCCUPIED WITH PHOTOSHOOTS IN EYOO GARBS.... LIKE THE PHARISEES.
WHAT A DISGRACE SOUTH WEST REGION!!!
Are you aware that Fulani gov you claim and all those before him aren't any less Yoruba than tinubu himself......they are all Yoruba blooded from the late lawal down to the current gov......keep your gaslighting to your despicably miserable self......would you rather the govs go all guns ablazing,demeaning their fellow gov just cause you feel he is Fulani.
Keep your tribalistic antics to yourself.....insecurity knows no tribe,religion or gender.
SenecaTheYonger: “I state clearly and unequivocally that I have never at any time been accused, invited, interrogated, investigated or charged by any security, law-enforcement, regulatory or intelligence agency—within or outside Nigeria—in respect of terrorism financing or any related offence,”
Well you're being looked at now. It has to start from somewhere. Just because you've been clever about it in the past doesn't mean you haven't been engaging in it.
This is not a valid excuse.
Clever and malami shouldn't come up in a sentence.....dude was downright criminally incompetent.......the most politically biased agf in the history of this country......do you see or hear fagbemi,the current agf jumping everywhere and daily controversies like malami......he overstepped his bounds and now the chickens are coming home to roost.....if all those allegations against him both for corruption and terrorism were to be proven,the guy should be locked up forever.......who the hell does he think he is and who gives a rats arse whatever he does.
