All of them contesting are basically saying Emilokan, they are just too timid to admit it.

—Atiku it’s my turn is exactly why he won’t pass the baton to a Southerner knowing fully well we just finished 8 years of a Northerner.

—Obi don even turn to Mr promiser that his desperation made him say he will only do one term and pick up gun to fight at Sambisa.

Amaechi usually say he is hungry yet he could afford over 60million in form fees. He would have loved to say Emilokan too, but he does not have the range or power

That's what APC slaves were told to say, that they are all the same. Lump them all in one bag, but Obi the bright star refused to go under. People can see he's different and they are not letting go.

muyico:
Baba go sit down
You talks during Jonathan regime
U re part of people
That gave APC power
Bcus he no favours u again
U talking again us

His past failures are not enough to deny facts that he speaks. Stop chasing the shadow of messenger, face the substance, the message.

adisa786:
A government that inherited a fiscal position where 97 cents of every naira collected went to debt servicing, and reduced that to 68 cents in eighteen months, has not failed fiscally. A government that grew foreign reserves from $33 billion to $50 billion — a seven-year high — has not failed on external stability. A government that oversaw eleven consecutive months of disinflation from a 28-year peak has not failed on monetary direction. A government under which Nigeria became West Africa's largest exporter of refined petroleum products after decades as its largest importer has not failed structurally. A government that received sovereign credit upgrades from both Fitch and S&P has not failed to restore international credibility.

These outcomes are primary-source verified. They are not government talking points. The World Bank, the IMF, and independent credit rating agencies — none of whom have any political interest in protecting Tinubu — all confirm this directional progress. Calling a government that produced these outcomes a failure requires either ignoring this evidence entirely or deciding that macroeconomic metrics are irrelevant to governance assessment. Neither position is analytically defensible.

Stop the whitewashing and fancy tales already. Evidence negates your claims.

I don't have time for the willfully blind or pretentious. You can write as much as you wish, the word "integrity" can never be used in the same sentence with BATs name.

If you think so, one of the following must apply -

1. You were born last night or even this morning

2. You are being paid to write what you write

3. Idiocy.

Baba has the integrity in maintaining his status as one of the most corrupt presidents in world's history.

There's a guy on TikTok carrying a banner to hawk his credentials on the street of Abuja in a bid to get a job.. He's on day 2 now.

His name - Ayomide Alokun, age - 27.

His credentials:

BSc Political Science
MSc Political Science
PhD international Relations

Nigeria na one kain country sha.

Person read book reach PhD level, and go still dey unemployed. God abeg o.

Bros don get job na, hawking his creds now don become him job. He's no longer idle.

ufotunang:
..so concerning 2027 election will he still be rigged in ?

It depends.

Omodiamond:
Guy man
This funniest thing is .... This man is part of the old system so what change now
He ruled Anambra for 8 years the state is nothing to write home about
So what's is he going to do different
Why is he suddenly the Messiah

Omo I refuse to be sold off
There's no different between this guy man Atiku el rufia wike and co some are even better than him

Same wine different bottle

He's part of the old system or you tag him part of the old system when he's not, and thief in Aso Rock is part of what system, the new system?
Can you give the state to things in his state before he took over and then after he left to give a clear picture of how he is nothing to write home about?

Let's even assume without conceding that Obi is a thief, you make him a saint the moment you compare him with Tinubu. Not debatable.

ufotunang:
These are the results of voting an incompetent president into power..it's a pity

It's a lie to say he was voted into power where in actual fact he was rigged in.

Meteng:
My own is make dem just keep that their maedness dat side

Not correct, their madness should not allowed in any side. You think the victims wanted it?

Once FG declare shoot onsite to any terrorist bandits, kidnappers etc definitely all these will stop

I hope USA will allow FG to declare such

Not USA, FG haven't got the balls.

RichBoy247:
Cursed haters will still complain

They are blessed because they hate the man's incompetence. It is very glaring and nauseating. Quitely ignored existing dilapidated roads begging for attention only to embark on such bogus projects without due process.

stuffs2002:
Una too dey emotional all the time.
0% logic but 100% emotions


Boko Haram started when Obasanjo was president but your hatred and emotional mind will not allow you to think beyond your nose

100% emotional because of your crass insensitivity, inhumanity, lack of empathy?
So because it started years back justifies that more people are being killed, killers are not smoked out, wiped out? Wasn't that what the CIC stepped into power for?

Illogical to end the killings? If you were a victim or your loved ones, you would say the same? You want silence so let the killings fester? Your hatred for justice and disregard for human life driving you to the edge? You can't reason beyond politics? Shine your teeth to mock the dead?

ElevationD:
Nothing more than the pure and unadulterated truth. It is as clear as daylight that the hinderance is Atiku. I maintained that since 2023 when Atiku claimed that zoning was improper. Atiku had no business then and still has no business now. Atiku agrees with zoning when it favours him. If not for zoning, he would not be the VP in 1999. The only reason that he colluded to chase GEJ away in 2016 was zoning. When he decamped to PDP and contested in 2019, it was because of zoning. Now to him, zoning is improper.

The greatest opportunity for him was as the VP to OBJ. Out of his carelessness, greed and wrong reading of the political barometer, he lost it completely. If only he did not try to play smart against OBJ. However, aside from his ways, it is crystal clear that he is not destined to be the President of the country, no matter the effort.

The same uncompromising stance that he put up in appointing Okowa, against popular opinion and proper political calculations in 2023, made him choose to choose the same error path this year with ADC. He has no business being on the ballot in 2027 as a northerner, aside from trying to divide the votes to favour BAT.

Atiku’s supporters now point accusing fingers at Peter Obi, as if he is the government in power. As it stands, ADC as a so called opposition party , now views NDC - another opposition party - as the government in power and in effect acts as the opposition to NDC, another opposition party. It is very obvious that the plan in ADC was to use Peter Obi, pin him down, with Atiku faking to be the candidate to oppose BAT, effectively concluding the agenda of allowing BAT have his way in 2027.

Rather than talk about ADC and its programs, the party officials focus on Obi who left the party, attacking him every moment. Now it is Obi this, Obi that every minute.

When Bolaji Abdullahi was asked about the manifesto of ADC, he could not give an answer. As of today, he has not shown any. If ADC is truly a serious opposition party, why not focus on projecting the image of the party and working for victory in 2027?

It is not to be doubted that Obi’s departure created chaos and confusion within ADC. The man that they tried to use moved faster than them and abandoned them.

Obi contested in 2023 on the platform of a relatively unknown Labour Party platform. Atiku only contests on established platforms. Atiku should test his so called popularity on an unestablished platform and let’s see. If Obi contested on the platform of PDP in 2023, it would be game over for BAT at 12 noon that day.

stuffs2002:
Obi is not an inteligent politician.

Why disrespect the families of the bereaved in such a manner

The devil in Aso Rock taught him that by always disrespecting citizens who are daily being tortured, kidnapped and killed by rampaging terrorists without him even a mention, reaction to the killings, visiting the victims, bringing succor, nor justice. The man in power is hard hearted.

Hezmatosky210:
But Umahi already has promised Tinubu 500,000,000 votes naw

Is he the one that will vote or his oppressed people will?

soccerlite:
Did Atiku Abubakar said he's not supporting south for president?

He has ambition just has other southerners

They were all in ADC

And ADC has already said they're not zoning their own presidential ticket

Did a southerner win the ticket and Atiku refuse to support him?

You people should think upright now

The problem of nigeria isn't Atiku Abubakar, apc tinubu government has been suffocating Nigerians

That's the problem

If tinubu has done well opposition campaign might just be fruitless

Dude is a bad market, some call him spoiler.
He's not popular. Ignoring that is his biggest problem. He doesn't even the ability to guage the mood of the people.

soccerlite:
He knows how to use dollars buy his way - hear animal talk

A true leader has a strong network and followers, when you touch people life especially in position of power, you are laying down a strong foundation for future reference.

When tanbuwal laid down his ambition for Atiku Abubakar in 2023, you think it was dollars that did it

If it was, wike would out spend him

Emancipate yourself from parochial thoughts

It's Atiku's right to ignore popular opinion and the chance to be an elder statesman and still run.
After the elections it will be well established how kept running and kept failing.

People see him as another version of Tinubu, part of the old order and will rather have Tinubu continue if Obi will be rigged out than have him.

Happy dreaming.

soccerlite:
That's their own options

Even the devil has followers and people that desire it

I'm stating the obvious for people who are reasonable.

Lastly

Presidency isn't about age, it's about reliability, benevolence and dedication for growth and we'll being

++++

Just to let you know

Moses was called by God at age 80

Even the devil has his followers, likening Atiku to the devil?
Reasonable is ability to see he's a bad sell.
Some heads aren't destined for the crown.

Moses was called by God but Atiku called himself, not God.

soccerlite:
Liar

Pdp didn't zone 2023 to South. it wanted
but Atiku said it should then be SE, since the last PDP president was from ss

They now said it should be open

Since wike knew it will not work for him
+++++

For your ignorant dollarisation comment,


Only Atiku has monopoly of dollars, wike, obi, etc don't

So where did wike get dollars to buy properties for his family in US

Come up with another voodoo comments

Its a lie to say Atiku has monopoly of dollars.
What is truth is that he is known to use his dollars to buy his way unlike Obi whom you know no dey give shishi.

soccerlite:
Atiku Abubakar

Someone who established physical verifiable companies

Someone who established a university, you know how many chibok girls graduated from the school under full scholarship

Someone who's a author of books

Someone who's de- tribalised

Someone who initiated restructuring

No Na the difference is visible

He's the only true opposition today, if not for Atiku Abubakar in the presidential race, tinubu
will be so relaxed and continuing pilling up more hardship on nigerians

Nice try but still insufficient. Odds are against the octogenarian. Even who hate Tinubu prefer Tinubu to your man.

Such an honest man, only that no one believes him.

anonimi:
In the 10 years of the 1st and 2nd Republics, south had six years of president by Zik and four years of president by the north with Shagari.

During the military era, the north had more years. The south can do its own coups to make up the difference of that era!!!

Such an awkward way of reasoning just to sell Atiku? Wish you luck while you clutch at straw.

madridguy:
Tinubu this, Tinubu that? Why always him?

Because he's a colossal failure. Hope that sinks?

Okoyeeboz:
His LG candidates also won primaries back then. What happened to them in the end?

1. What can Fubara do for Tinubu that Wike can't do X3 of that?

2. If Fubara could betray the person who made him Governor, what is the probability that of Tinubu helps Fubara, he won't betray Tinubu?

By the way, Bashiru was sheepishly supporting Fubara cos of crumbs before Rivers boys reset his head for him. Go and watch his interview about the outcome of Fubara's screening.

If Tinubu could betray others, he could betray any of these ones too.

anonimi:
What falsehood was in the post that you replied on our post-1999 tribalistic zoning and rotation of turn by turn access to the treasury

What falsehood is in knowing that Nigeria didn't start in 1999, Nigeria already started having presidents since 1960 or those years don't exist?

anonimi:
Did Buhari not contest in 2003, when Obasanjo was supposed to have a 2nd term? If Atiku did not reject northern pressure to make Obasanjo a one term president then, Baba Iyabo would have been replaced.

In 2003, did Rimi not also contested to be president?

Did Ojukwu not contest in 2007, when it was supposed to be the turn of the north? Utomi also contested in 2007 on ADC's platform.

In 2011, why did Tinubu help Jonathan to usurp the turn of the north?

In 2015, why did Tinubu make Jonathan a one term president instead of letting the south have two terms ??

In how many japa countries are they using tribalistic rotation and zoning to share public office turn by turn, as a validation of corruption?

The Niger Delta wahala was about insecurity as well and while it was solved during Yar'Adua administration who offered them amnesty to let oil flow, it was Jonathan that brokered the deal with the militants.

Boko Haram insurgency started during Yar'Adua's time as well but he failed to nip it in the bud, probably since they don't have any oil flowing from Shettima's Borno state.

Jona brokered the peace without the backing of his boss who should also share credit for the success?

https://dailypost.ng/2026/05/11/2027-why-opposition-parties-should-rethink-zoning-presidency-to-south-atiku/

Thoughts best suited for idiots.
All junk. See the way he quietly avoided the fact that the north had been in power far longer if you include the military era.

If Atiku scatters the opposition because he doesn't want zoning to the south, and the thief in charge rigs successfully, power still remains in the south.

The Moniepoint CEO misyarned.

The 500 unfilled job vacancies in his company is not a referendum on the character, skillset, talent or employability of Nigerian youths. Neither is it due to yahoo culture, social media distraction, laziness or quest for fast money.

Banks, Oil majors, Auditing companies, Tax corporations, FMCGs Industry, Elite Government agencies etc recruit meritoriously and fill their vacancies from these same pool of Nigerian youths.

So why is Moniepoint unable to do so? Answer - Poor remuneration.

Thankfully, he recognizes he is competing globally, so he should pay global salaries if he wants the best. Simple.

Anyways, I no blame am. I blame the CBN for its failure to properly regulate Nigerian banks to ensure functional ATM machines which is the gap filled by moniepoint .

The CEOs statement is also insensitive being that the vast majority of their agents/customers sit under umbrellas by the road side or in makeshift kiosks processing transactions Are those ones lazy too?

The moniepoint CEO is nothing but a dolt.

Nice read joor.
