Then go home and sleep and stop opening threads

Nifemi2512:
Wait till the primaries.
Trust voting delegates at your peril.
Osinbajo will split the key states with Tinubu and other contesters...
Plus..He will clinch majority of the non-APC states.

One more correction to your paid opinion: BABANGANA ZULUM is the closest friend to OSINBAJO in this administration. The Osinbajo project is their co-busines!

Meanwhile, ZULUM is the incoming VP to Osinbajo.

Take that fact to the bank.

My brother chill end of next month is near


Be rest assured


Asiwaju is not a bitter politician

He will play the game according to the rules

But if they corner him in the Primaries

It's all dirty game


2023 general election is here also
We meet at both sides


Inside of you

You know Osibanjo don't have Political weight

He is shakabula

olatuns2017:
I thought Osibanjo is the consensus candidate


Happy weekend

Codepain:
Lmao,
If you believe Buhari will endorse him. You're high on some supplies.

cktheluckyman:
Dude is deceiving himself.The SW won't be anywhere close to power in 2023

Codepain:
Pastor Osinbajo has proven to be Muslim-hater loyal only to his RCCG people.
Muslims constitute a large voting bloc in this country.
Looking forward to seeing how he will convince people he hate passionately to vote for him.

Party, machinery of APC or that of RCCG?

2023: A Look At The APC’s 7,800 Delegates And Tinubu’s Unanimous Support
~ By Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah

“Tinubu doesn't take up an impossible assignment nor romance failure. He will shock opportunists and pessimists.”
- Chief Bisi Akande

Everything is now in place for the mother of all conventions, which will determine the presidential candidate for Africa's largest political party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The party has tentatively set the convention date for May 30/31 2022.

Of course, the APC would prefer an electoral process in which delegates from the 36 states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory would choose the party's representative or a consensus arrangement where the President alongside the Governors and party stakeholders including the contestants would arrive at a consensus candidacy.

As it stands what are the chances of the various aspirants who have indicated an interest in the presidency under the APC.

The names of aspirants who have expressed interest in the party's ticket are listed below.

Bola Tinubu, David Umahi, Yemi Osinbajo, Rochas Okorocha, Rotimi Amaechi, Yahaya Bello, Sani Yerima, Orji Kalu, Chris Ngige, and Ogbonnaya Onu.

Now let us take a quick look at the national delegates according to their geo-political zones.

North West: 1, 924 delegates…, South West: 1,568 delegates..., North Central: 1,278 delegates

North East: 1, 212 delegates..., South East: 838 delegates..., South South 927 delegates.

Total = 7,800 Delegates.

A quick rundown from States is as follows:

Kano 465 delegates; Katsina 384; Borno 324; Osun 308; Lagos 304; Oyo 292; Jigawa 266; Niger 251; Ogun 248; Nasarawa 245; Abia 154, Adamawa 184; Akwa Ibom 165; Anambra 163, Bauchi 202; Bayelsa 79; Benue 180; Cross River 194; Delta 170; Ebonyi 154; Edo 168; Ekiti 216; Enugu 131; Gombe 134; Imo 236, Kaduna 234; Kebbi 213; Kogi 222; Kwara 195; Ondo 200; Plateau 185; Rivers 151; Sokoto 193; Taraba 146; Yobe 222; Zamfara 169 and FCT 53.

For the sake of space, we'll confine our litmus test to the top ten states for a comprehensive examination.

The top 10 in order of importance are listed below.

1. Kano 2. Katsina 3. Borno 4. Osun 5. Lagos 6. Oyo 7. Jigawa 8. Niger 9. Ogun 10. Nasarawa.

1 Kano:
If the body language of both Ganduje and Shekarau is anything to go by, Kano State is a no-go zone for other hopefuls. As we all know, the Governor of Kano State is a staunch Jagaban supporter. Ganduje is the only governor who can be regarded to be as close to Tinubu as he is.

Shekarau has stated numerous times that Kano State is sure for Tinubu.

2 Katsina.
HE Aminu Bello Masari is without a doubt Tinubu's most ardent supporter; he has always stated that when Tinubu leads, others will follow. His devotion to Tinubu is evident on a daily basis. Katsina State would undoubtedly be delivered by Aminu Bello Masari.

3 Borno State.
It may be of interest to you to know that Prof Zulum and Kassim Shettima, the predecessor to Prof Zulum, are renowned supporters of Tinubu's candidacy. Borno State is like Tinubu's Bourdillion residence.

4 Osun State
Other aspirants should avoid Osun, which has 308 delegates. We all saw how the Jagaban's close buddy Oyetola trounced Aregbesola in the recently concluded APC primaries in Osun State, and the delegates are unanimous in their support for Tinubu.

5 Lagos State
Lagos has four fewer delegates than Osun, with 304. Should we waste time debating whether or not Sanwo Olu would deliver for Tinubu? Please allow me to take a bow on behalf of Lagos.

6 Oyo State:

Because the PDP controls the state, Tinubu can count on 70 per cent of the delegates from Oyo even if the state does not show up solely for the Jagaban.

7 Jigawa State.
The Governor of Jigawa State, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, is a close ally of Tinubu, and so also is the former Governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Saminu Turaki, who has accompanied the Jagaban on most of his recent visits around the Northern States. In Jigawa, Tinubu has a strong showing.

8 Niger:
Are you aware that Abubakar Sani Bello, the governor of Niger State, has since endorsed Tinubu's candidacy?

9 Ogun:
Should we give Osinbajo the benefit of the doubt since it is his state? If history is any guide, Osinbajo when in Lagos APC never won an election in his ward as a sitting Vice President.

Would Adedapo Oluseun Abiodun betray Tinubu or Osinbajo by delivering Ogun? This question would be validated over time.

10 Nasarawa State
Governor Abdullahi A. Sule once wore Tinubu's signature cap to a meeting of the State Executive Council. He is Tinubu's unrepentant ally.

So, with these ten states and Tinubu very certain to win the majority of delegates, it's time to think about the Federation's entire 36 states.

Let me now explain how a consensus works for people who believe a consensus is the best way to be on the party's ticket.

The first criterion for a consensus is that all of the contestants agree. The next criterion is who has the ability to defeat the opposition PDP, and the final criterion is who has the support of the majority of stakeholders.

The last item on the list clearly illustrates that if there is a consensus, the most likely aspirant to emerge is the one who has the support of the majority of the delegates.

So, when conducting your own research, have a look at the other candidates stated above and conduct a thorough examination vis a vis the 36 States.

Politics is a local game; it's not about feeling or how you feel about your favourite candidate; it's about who is best equipped for the task at hand

Rilwayne001:
I understand. And it’s the more reason why we’re more sentimental in our opinions. We see clearer opinions that favors our preferred candidate more than the one that doesn’t. It calms our nerves.

Help2020:
Buhari said if he mentioned his preferred candidate he might be assassinated, which means he was not talking about osinbajo. Osinbajo is the number 2 citezy and no chance of eliminating him

NaijaCowFarm:
Why are you guys so pained that another Yoruba man, not Igbo, not Hausa, not Ijaw is being supported by Buhari?

I have already told you that Osinbanjo will defeat Tinubu in the primaries. The only savation Tinubu has is to honourably stepdown now.

hotseat:
Op, if wishes were horses, they say, beggars would ride.



If the scenario depicted by you is anything to go by, then Buhari would have joined Osinbajo in backstabbing the Jagaban.



It therefore means that one good turn no longer deserves another.



I just hope Buhari would remain neutral otherwise the APC would have set in motion the recipe for the implosion of the party.


For now, every permutation lies in the realm of mere speculation.

ityP:
The idiotic Tinubu you are hyping was dead when Ribadu ran under his party abi? Why didn't Tinubu help him to become president? Why did Ribadu only get 2 Million votes? Buhari without Tinubu had been steadily getting over 10 million votes when he started contesting in 2003. Why didn't your Tinubu contest when he was alone in AC to test his popularity? Dude has merged with Buhari now and wants a share of Buhari's clout. Buhari dey look am laugh . Tinubu is Lagos, Tinubu is Lagos, but in presidential elections of 2015&2019, APC dey drag votes with PDP. He should go to states like Yobe and see how to win flawlessly. You people will hype this man to his ruin. Buhari's cult followership in the north is not anyone's mate. Underrate his influence there and you go sabi say you no wise

Nukilia:
I am still surprised by the way Nigerians are comfortable with failure. A professor who thinks trader money would make people millionaires while he stashes billions in his account is a comedian of the 21st century.

We must not all pretend that these folks are not part of the mess our nation is going through.

Mooh247:



Awon Buhari's mind reader

Let Buhari hand over to Osinbajo first when traveling abroad let's see if he now trust Baba kekere enough with power

Let Buhari also give Pastor Trader Moni back so that he can campaign with it again, if they trust each other

Keep deceiving yourself... So go guys have finally loosed hope on tinubu?

No S.W presidential aspirant will get that ticket, just know that and know peace.

Still looking forward to see how project Osinbajo will fly. Tinubu seems to be way ahead of him in the APC.

The Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is expected to begin his second round nationwide consultation ahead of the presidential primary of the All Progressive Congress (APC) slated for June 1, 2022, THISDAY gathered yesterday.

The move, according to the source in the vice president’s camp, was designed to cement efforts already put in place by Osinbajo in a bid to fortify his chances of clinching the party’s presidential ticket.

He said the vice president would be meeting with APC delegates in the all the local governments across the country and might start this weekend in Oyo State.
“Consultations are already in progress across the country and yes we might be intensifying the engagements very soon, the sources told THISDAY.

Osinbajo who had after a recent nationwide consultation, declared intention to succeed Buhari after months of nationwide consultation, was expected to meet with APC delegates from his home state, Ogun.

Meanwhile former governor of Kano State and senator representing Kano South Senatorial District, Senator Kabiru Gaya, has been appointed the Chairman of The Progressive Project (TPP), an umbrella body of various support groups of Vice President Osinbajo across the 36 states and the FCT.

The Kano State federal lawmaker who was at the headquarters of the TPP yesterday, to address Osinbajo’s supporters, assured them that the vice president would succeed Buhari next year.

Gaya described TPP as a mass-based, citizen-driven project and that he decided to take the responsibility to lead a process of recalibrating all pro-Osinbajo populist forces towards electoral victory under the banner of APC.

He said: “Our duty is the coordination of all support groups: this is not the Campaign Council.

For Professor Yemi Osinbajo, this race is not about personal ambition but about a positive response to populist call from a citizen-driven mobilisation that began without input from him or his office.

“Note that people from other parties and even millions of non-partisan citizens who do not belong to any political party have strong interest and involvement with this campaign for Osinbajo’s candidature.

“Without an iota of doubt, I am certain that all the knowledgeable people here can attest to the qualities and competence of Professor Yemi Osinbajo. You will also agree with me that his chosen method redefines presidential declarations in Nigeria; he has clearly signaled that noble citizens have no need to descend into gutters – no touts were hired by anyone and his message effectively reverberated across the entire country and the Diaspora.”

On fund to obtain the vice president’s nomination form, he said: “We feel confident that unlike moneybags, our truly populist candidate is popular enough to pool supporters’ token donations and raise such money with ease.

“Just one youth group with TPP, the Progressive Group alone say that they can raise N100m with rough voluntary contributions of N10, 000 each by 10, 000 of their supporters who are keen about seeing a better future.

“Our populist Mathematics is flawless and very strong; moneybags within or outside APC will only lose their dollars in any contest against the people’s will.

“Unlike the history of some other political parties, records show that neither APC presidential ticket nor its VP slot had ever been won by throwing money around but by populist endorsement from north and South.

How come Buhari never handed over power to Osunbade through out 8 years


How come Buhari asked Osunbade to always report to his chief of staff?? Abba Kyari and now Gambari

How come Osunbade's aides were sacked from the Aso Rock without letting him know

How come Osunbade couldn't even appoint his ADC and Buhari had to place an Aboki CSP to monitor him with pistle and gun up and down

How come Buhari took away NEMA, Trader Moni, and Npower from Osunbade

How come Osunbade doesn't have access to Presidential aircraft and always charter cheap helicopter services like the one that crashed in Kogi
