I believe the northerners might just mess this guy up... He's too powerful because he runs lagos, majority of the media outlets is his proxy...

Tinibu have the capacity to develop his own cabal that calls shots for the country.... The optics connected to his ambition are diverse and complex.

The northerners might just use the rotation of Muslim and christian card to stall him.... Because they know even the Yoruba Christian along with the entire south are in favor of Christian president.

Technically tinubu is not a sure banker

This doesn't mean the northerners will vote Peter obi who is a Christain over Tinubu a Muslim if they both get party tickets. The same way the Catholic priests in the East won't campaign for Tinubu is the same way Imam's and sheikh's in the north will naturally tilt to a Tinubu a Muslim. That loyalty can only be divided if Atiku is on the ballot. There's something about the north you people have not yet understand. Which is all this logical/illogical thinking,scheming and permutations being displayed by southerners carries no weight in the North. The north will most times go for the most popular candidate it feels a little sense of attachment too. Even GEJ with incumbency couldn't win the core Northern states. The easiest way for PDP to still win is having an Atiku on the ballot. Anything other than that is a mirage.

Tinubu won't make his campaign about other candidates. But other candidate already see him as the man to beat.

ityP:
See this dude o. Who says Atiku will be PDP candidate. Lmao. Saraki get chance to be candidate than Atiku. Atiku has read the room Oga. Plus, even with Atiku as candidate, he will win. He is loved in the north than Atiku. Atiku that didn't get up to 3 million votes she he first contested . He got 11 million because of pity votes and the anger the populace had against Buhari. Still yet, Buhari show am pepper for north. Atiku is very unpopular. He is going nowhere

The earlier you remember that it's North first the better. Buhari and Atiku are both Northerners and Muslims so you expect the votes to be splitted. When it becomes to a north versus south thing I don't see the North supporting a southerner naturally. Even Tinubu will find it difficult if not impossible to beat Atiku in the North. Do you expect imams to campaign for Amaechi over Atiku in the mosque's ?

Either way the easiest way for Amaechi to get the Ticket is for Osinbanjo to declare that way south west is splitted.

MikoB:
Assembly members still look upto to their governors for direction, they always go in the same direction with their governors , sw support you talk about can be unpredictable my brother, for example I can guarantee you that abiodun and Fayemi will go for osinbajo, and akeredolu can shift. I don't want to say everything here, just wait till he declares by next week I guess, you will understand more.

Fayemi doesn't have Ekiti APC in his pockets

ityP:
Obasanjo lost ALL south west states except Ekiti in the 1999 elections. Dude even lost his OWN state disgracefully. He still went ahead to win with a high margin. Amaechi can lose Rivers. No one send. As long as the north votes him, fine

And you don't think Atiku will split some northern vote Obasanjo contested against a fellow Yoruba man. At that point losing your own region can be forgiven because votes would be splitted either ways...

emmykk:
The same way Tinubu have been appointing all Lagos governors after him that is how buhari will appoint his next president.

Forget about primaries when the chips are down Tinubu will beg that he we not contest again.

Tinubu already have Lagos if you give him Nigeria that will be disaster

Just like Lagos is a disaster

Validated:
Amaechi is APC consensus candidate. Even Tinubu knows that and so does Osinbajo, hence the latter is not declaring.
If Tinubu refuses to step down for Amaechi, Buhari will disgrace him at the primaries. Only Lagos, Osun and Ogun delegates will vote for him after other aspitants must have stepped down.

Politics doesn't work this way. Tinubu is friends with Atiku and has shown over the years to be very unpredictable. Don't be surprised if he works under the hood to see APC lose if the presidency comes for him. Even if he loses the primary the APC will still need him on board.

The easiest way for Amaechi to win is for Osibanjo to declare. That means south west will be splitted.

APC Senators in Lagos can only serve two terms reason why he his going home. Yayi did is best in Lagos West. If he fails to get it, he should invest massively in Jagaban's ambition that way he can get a ministerial appointment.

eaglechild:
Una don come again.
Like Buhari like Tinubu.
Both have led/ will lead Nigeria to doom

Tinubu has only led Lagos State.

pfadom:
You mean Yahaya Bello of Kogi State?

Any governor who has not governed any metropolitan or cosmopolitan state is not fit to lead Nigeria. Yahaya Bello who despite his youthfulness is out of touch with issues as simple as health, and lives in self-denial of reality will only sink the fragile ship of Nigeria.

Keyword: Cosmopolitan

lexy2014:
What will yahaya bello do for nigeria if he becomes president?

Can he fight corruption?

Can he put away nepotism and self interest and serve the greater good?

Can bello allow justice prevail & favour the common man when his interest and that of his cronies is threatened?

The question is Did he do these things as a Governor of Kogi State? Don't let us use "Can he" for any person who have held a post before the question should be "Did you"

Make this guy calm down abeg!. When other candidates start PR this will be swallowed.

SensualMan1:
Baba D Baba!!!

Baba will handle security

Osinbade will handle economy

Tinubu will borrow more than Baba!

Sai Barber! Keep barbing their hairs.

Tinubu was denied federal allocation for years by Obasanjo and that was when he raised Lagos internally generated revenue from 600m to 20bn when he was leaving office.

I pity the next President Sha.

Of course he bleeped up, who never Bleep up hands in the air. No hands?

He his young what do you expect from him?

Inspite of his so called achievement in that state. You still see people migrate from that state in their droves to Lagos State yet they said he was the best governor? How?

Asiwaju and Obi are both former governors and their performance as Governor's should be a good base for comparison. Without even including service to the nation after leaving office.

Try your luck Sir...

Big loss for NURTW national. Revenue will now go directly to the LASG. You supported Makinde picking Auxiliary as Parks Chairman in Oyo state and now condemn LASG. Na ment?

It's funny how one event can have a negative impact on us as humans. If not for the slap, people wouldn't have raised much eyebrows when she picked the form. But now she has brought the eyes of the world to herself.

All this ones no go allow us hear word. Atiku will win and will still stimulate Ohanaeze to Atikulate. So kini big deal?

Viraltrends123:
Just because he is dead, we see him as a hero. Same thing with Mohammed Ghadaffi who wanted to be president forever, he is dead now, we now see him as a hero, wasn't surprised when I saw a road named after Abacha, a school named after Ojukwu(someone that led 2 million people to their death, while he was changing wives, his children were abroad, just like a typical Nigerian politician that deceive foolish Nigerians to do what they want ), Adolf Hitler is also seen as a hero.

Nevertheless.
Like for Tinubu, Share for Atiku, Osinbanjo, Wike, Ameachi or Okorocha for president.

You have a point though. But Sankara was different. If he had taken the suggestion of dismissing Blaise as his vice maybe he would have stayed longer in office and all these twisting narratives would be avoided.

If not because of media, you would think things like these doesn't exist in that region...

Nfora:
Moreover, strike is not protest .

"A general strike is a form of protest for social or political goals in which all participants cease all economic activity, such as, working, attending school, shopping, going to the movies, etc." Source: Wikepedia. You can educate yourself further.

Way to go... You claim you're on strike but you're not rejecting salary from government as part of your protest. You're doing your side businesses teaching in private school whereas students are being held in hostage.

Make we dey mad dey go.

festacman:
Sometimes, I feel that certain things happen for a reason. Uzoho had no reason not catching that Partey's shot Osihmen worked like mad and missed half chances he normally scores for Napoli.

With hindsight, it may have been WRITTEN that Super Eagles going to Qatar will encourage Amaju Pinnick to continue in his shenanigans. He needed to be humbled and his hubris and selfishness exposed.

So painful that Amaju Pinnick used Nigeria to advance his political interests in CAF and FIFA. As chairman of NFF, he CRIMINALLY neglected development of game of football in Nigeria and focused on Super Eagles because he used the brand as personal PR tool. You can imagine how 'superhuman' he would have been feeling within himself if Super Eagles qualified.

Well, the game is over for him. No World Cup appearance for him show off with. His failures are before him though, unfortunately, we all sharing in them.

I have always said it the number 1 problem of the team is NFF led by Pinnick. Under him Under 17 and Under 20 has been largely nonexistent and now the super eagles. He only banks on bringing foreign players to play for us which is another PR tool. You summed it up well.

ezegold4we:
Yourba elders should as a matter of urgency call Tinubu and advice Him to drop his presidential ambition becos he is already dancing naked in the market place,
I have Never seen a KingMaker who succeeded in Making himself a king,
His presidential ambition is dead before arrival but his Useless Muslim brother's here has refused to see the hand-writting on the wall.

A coward dies 10 times before his death. Someone like you would have told Yahaya Bello not to contest against Audu because Audu will beat him then in Kogi APC primaries. What later happened You have never seen something doesn't mean it can't happen. There's always a first time at least by the time you witness it, you will be able to tell your children that when they become kingmakers they can equally become king because you have witnessed it before with Jagaban.
For this life don't let people down your inner mind. That's my advice for you because this your mindset is a deafetist mindset and is not good in politics.

Tareq1105:
You know those the gods want to destroy.....

He's been talking about Muslim Muslim ticket for long thinking that Christians will understand bcoz his wife is a Christian. We're waiting and we shall see.

1993-2023=30 yrs

Take us for granted and see what will happen. I don't know if it's a must that you must be King.

Muslim - Muslim is not on the ticket the likes of Yakubu Dogara and Boss Mustapha are capable Christain Northern people that can ably be Tinubu's vice. Tinubu has the right to contest for the presidency as a Yoruba Muslim. Ernest Shonekan, Obasanjo and Osinbanjo are all Christains and have spent a combined 16years and six month as either the President/VP and tell me is it a crime if he seeks to be the first Muslim president from the SW no it's not?? To show how inconsiderate you're, you even brought up 1993 which we all know was won by a Yoruba Muslim - which is to say you would be happy if the same thing repeats itself in 2023-. That's inadequate, and I am sure that's not part of what the bible preaches. If Christains are in the shoes of Muslims today you people would shout islamisation of south west. But all top elective position from south west has been occupied by Christains more than Muslims. So where is the balance if it's not hypocrisy. We even have south west states with Christain - Christain governor's and Muslims aren't complaining. But can you do the same if the tables turn?

Same way you people shouted in 2015 about Christain governor in Lagos and this same Tinubu brought Ambode to suit that narrative thereby jettisoning a more capable and reliable candidate in Obafemi Hamzat. The same Tinubu brought Sanwo-Olu another Christain. What else do you people want? And Sanwo-Olu to the delight of everyone is going for second term. This same Tinubu sent RCCG's Babatunde Fowler from LiRS to FIRS and was one of Buhari's first appointment, what did Fowler do. He got there displayed crass incompetence, siphoned money and conducted shabby recruitment which was filled with redeemers before aso rock noticed and booted him out.

I for one will vote Osinbanjo and Fashola over Tinubu anyday anytime but the baba himself has tried and he his well within his right to contest for presidency and chase it with all his might. But the issue is can Christains dish out the same narratives of islamisation they pushed out against Buhari in 2015?

Truthisunique3:
have sense, I supported buhari in 2015 and said the jihadits talk was trash

But the joke was on me when he himself the Boko Haram negotiator started churning foolanis crisis into Christian stronghold from the south to benue

We all know how myetti Allah became a full fledged jihadits empowered group under him

They have only failed in the jihad because the people prevailed on their states govs

The same way Miyetti Allah became what they are was the same way Niger Delta Militants terrorize under Jonathan and Yar'adua was it linked to christainity then?

Make Atiku vice am again.

donb06:
That guy gave you a sound analysis of what happened in 2015. Atiku was also a powerful figure in that coalition. those nPDP guys were the real brokers, that's why someone like Adamu is being taunted as the new APC chairman. I won't rule out Tinubu's influence in the whole process, but giving him overdue credence is what people like that guy are pointing out. And stop this blackmail of TOO EMOTIONAL, it is not flying any longer.

If you believe Atiku was the key reason Buhari won in 2015. Why is it that you guys always bash Tinubu more than Atiku for foisting Buhari on us? The one that attracts greater hate from you people is the one with superior influence that's a simple logic. You believe 2015 was majorly nPDP and Atiku why then are you abusing Yorubas for supporting Buhari Yet you people hardly direct the same amount of hate you have for Tinubu to Atiku and Saraki or even Amaechi. Human beings hate what they don't understand and that's the case here too. Everytime you accuse Tinubu for joining forces with Buhari but you don't direct that same amount of hate to Saraki, Amaechi, Atiku and the likes since you claim they were of greater importance.

MyExpression:
We both know age per se is not the problem, but their physical fitness to take the bull by the horn. We do not want another caucus to hijacked the presidency, because out beloveth BAT is incapacitated.

A PYO/kingsley mohgalu ticket might sell...but i prefer PYO/PO ticket. Anybody be president, anybody be vice.

Proper delegation of duties and appointing the right set of people is the most important thing lacking in our presidency. That's why there's a difference between a ruler and a leader. You can see the competent Minister's like Amaechi and Fashola for instance performing in their respective sector under Buhari while the likes of Malami, Adamu, ngige and the likes are a big disgrace. That goes to show that the most important thing we need is a well oiled team. And that's what Jagaban is known for. Jonathan was strong physically but weak as a leader. Buhari is a ruler and not a leader. But I understand you Buhari reduced the bar of leadership in the country and everybody's sceptical. But for me assembling the right team is the most important thing.
