Yorubas deceived this dullard. He is regretting now

How?

UgwuAghachi:
If Atiku picks VP fr south west, I dey vote Buhari. And I'm not kidding

And what will you gain by so doing when it's all about Buhari and SW VP?

You are ready to wail and lament for the next 4 years

Getintouch2004:
Same pictures and you are dropping it like 6 times.

Are you mad?

As in

The thing weak me o

ariesbull:
For me to believe that yoruba love PDP show us one state or local government that is PDP in the whole region of SW

Then the works can take you seriously

PDP won Osun.

What will Igbos gain or lose if they decide not to support Atiku and he loses to Buhari running with an Osinbajo

greatdreamer:
Tinubu will secretly support a tsunami called Atiku over the lifeless one for him to maintain and retain his estate (Lagos).

Exactly.
Tinubu will feel more secure under Atiku than Buhari.

Should Buhari win a second term, Tinubu will definitely on exile else...

Na this younger one carry Pastor Chris face

Both one way or the other.

Na so

Revengemission is trying very hard to sound like a l00natic.

Tinubu slaves won't die well...

Daewang:
Your selective amnesia is disgusting.

Facts are stubborn...

Left to SE politicians, PDP would have since collapsed into APC.

Great...

Sure
Expected
Kudos

These are the real Yoruba leaders.
Someday, Tinubu will come back and prostrate to them and ask for forgiveness of his sins...

diebuhari1:
And SE has a lot to gain backing Atiku with no representation on the ticket? Why not just come out clearly and call us fools like the other Yorubas are doing instead of all this rubbish

Since 2015, Igbos have been the ones wailing and lamenting this administration the more.
Isn't this a golden opportunity to get rid of the administration you so love to hate, VP or no VP.
What is the essence of getting a VP slot that ends at the polls only to continue 'suffering' for the next 4 years under Buhari

Daewang:
The SW never made any sacrifices to PDP. You cannot reap were you did not sow. The SE were not created to be perpetual sacrificial lambs. We are not fools.

Mimiko, Fayose, FFK, Deji Adeyanju and co are from where

At a time SE politicians were decamping to APC left right centre, the Yorubas there stood their ground.

You must be a very forgetful person.

BabaRamota1980:
Joe Igbokwe sponsorship. Plus his wife na Yoruba.

No! He was formerly in PDP on whose platform he won last time.

Ok

*IF THE BIBLE WERE TO BE WRITTEN IN OUR TIME, THE STORY OF ATIKU COULD HAVE BEEN THUS*

AN ACCOUNT OF THE TRIALS OF ATIKU THE SON OF ABUBAKAR

1. In the seventh year that king Obasanjo reigned over the kingdom, a great trouble broke out in the land. For when his time was come nigh that he may descend from the throne that he called unto himself noble men in the land.

2. And he declared unto them saying: "Now that my days on the throne are few, allow me therefore to rule over thee for another four years".

3. And he gathered together of them that maketh laws in the Red Chamber in the city of the king, and even unto they in the Green Chamber, that they may amend the books of the law to favour him.

4. But this thing grieved Atiku the son of Abubakar who was the king's deputy. And he said unto his master, "howbeit seekest thou to rule over the people for another term? sweareth not thou by the name of thy god to set me upon the throne after thee?

5. Practice thou not this great evil against me and against the kingdom for it is written in the books of the law that a king may not reign but for two terms which equal eight years''. But these words changeth not the heart of the king.

6. And Atiku conspired with the Governors of the provinces and of the men who maketh laws in the city of the great king and they rejected king Obasanjo that he may continually reign over the kingdom.

7. And the king was wrought with grave anger and he declared according to these words to Atiku the son of Abubakar saying, "because thou hath done this great evil unto me, thou shall no longer sit upon the throne of this kingdom even unto thy death".

8. When the son of Abubakar saw that the king favoureth him not, that he departed from the camp of the king by the name PDP, and pitched his tent in the camp of the king's adversaries by the name ACN that he may contend the throne of the kingdom.

9. And it came to pass that Governor Yaradua who ruleth over the province of Katsina found favour in the sight of king Obasanjo. And when the time was come for the appointment of the king that he defeated Atiku and was appointed and anointed king over the kingdom. And king Yaradua ruleth the kingdom with the fear of God. But his days as king was full of affliction.

10. And when king Yaradua gave up the ghost that Goodluck the son of Jonathan who siteth by his side as the deputy reigned after him. But when the time was come nigh that the son of Jonathan be appointed again that Atiku departed from the camp of the king's adversaries and entered into the king's camp that he may be appointed.

11 . But the son of Jonathan defeated Atiku again for he spake according to these words unto the people, "I feel thy pains brethren for I was once like thee. I wore no sandals on the soul of my feet in the years of my youth when seeketh I knowledge, for my parents were of little means". And the people loved him and appointed him.

12. And the host of the other camps were vexed with a great vexation. For sixteen years they made battle against the king's camp and hath not prevailed against it.

13. And a certain noble man by the name Audu the son of Ogbe declared unto the leaders of the camps that contended the throne with the king's camp saying: "howbeit thinkest thou in thy heart to prevail against the king's camp if comest thou not together as one?

14. Harken to my voice this day, come let us reason together that we may enlarge our coast and verily, verily I say unto thee, the throne of the kingdom shall be delivered into our hands.

15. Of the camps that came together that day to form the APC were ACN from the west, ANPP from the North and a part of APGA from the East of the kingdom. Even the unhappy in the camp of PDP crossed over into the camp too.

16. And Atiku the son of Abubakar departed again from the king's camp by the name PDP and entered into the camp of the king's adversaries that he may contend the throne.

17. But Mohammed the son of Buhari was favoured among them that seeketh the throne from the camp of the APC for he swore unto the leaders of the camp saying, "Behold brethren, I am full of age and my eyes are becoming dim, suffer me to ascend unto the throne for I shall only reign for four years". And Buhari was anointed king over the kingdom.

18. And it troubled the son of Abubakar in his heart that he was rejected as king again. But he saith in his heart, I shall be of long suffering and remain in this camp for I shall ascend unto the throne after the fourth year of king Buhari.

19. But it came to pass that as the end of the fourth year of king Buhari's reign was at hand that the advisers in the king's court said unto him, be of good courage, gird thy loins and present thyself to be appointed again to reign over the kingdom for another four years.

20. And when Atiku heard of these words that he was vexed with anger and he repenteth that he joined the APC.

21. And he said, "I shall arise and go back to PDP which is the camp of my youth. And I shall declare unto them, “I have sinned against thee and against God. Accept me this day that I may once again contend the throne in thy bosom”.

22. And on the twenty fourth day of the eleventh month of the year before a new king is appointed that Atiku the son of Abubakar departed from the camp of APC and joined the camp of his youth.

23. And there was great jubilation in the camp of PDP that day for they said, “Verily, the prodigal son returneth.

24. But they forgot that Aremu, the son of Obasanjo, who still sees himself as the King maker, will not approve of it.

Wow. Guy, you tried o...

Daewang:
A sense of satisfaction that we were not taking for granted.

Come on, that is childish.
SW has a lot to lose backing Atiku with no representation on the ticket.
It's equivalent to political suicide.

Daewang:
Igbos have been making all the sacrifices for PDP all this while and taking the attacks and insults. The VP position must come to SE or else we destroy everything. I personally would campaign against Atiku let everything burn down. We are not fools.

Okay what will you gain if you don't support Atiku and he loses to Buhari with Osinbajo as running mate

What is Jude doing in that list

No choice

buhariguy:
that will only be in bayelse, because rivers, cross river, akwa ibom and delta are coming to apc,
Beside, ''we SS" have not forgiven ineffectual buffoon for his failure in SS.
Buhari has done more for SS than what gej did.

You must be deluded...

buhariguy:
what will they gain if they support thief atiku?
SE will gain more in buhari than what they will gain under thief atiku.
SE has even gain more than what they gain under ineffectual buffoon.

These are mere political rants far from the realities on ground.

oodualover:
Atiku will pick an Ibo as his vice. You better accept this. Ibos won't support him if he does not do this. He has to choose an Ibo person

Ibos have no choice but to support Atiku - VP or no VP. If they don't support Atiku, who will they support? Buhari? What will they gain

buhariguy:
SS is not Pdp,
SS always go for the ruling party,
SS also vote for Pdp because of ineffectual buffoon.
Those governors in SS like Okowa,ayade and thief wike are all working for the ruling party.

As far as GEJ is alive and supporting the PDP, APC stand no chance in the SS.

oodualover:
[s][/s]
Please stop this nonsense. The sw don't need VP from PDP. Please stop disgracing Yoruba people here. The VP slot is for Ibos

Guy, we reasonable Yorubas are tired of Buhari.
The reason we are managing him is Osinbajo. If Yorubas see a prominent Yoruba on the PDP ballot, they won't mind ditching Buhari once and for all.

You buharists don't want PDP to field a SW VP so that Buhari will win easily.

Fafafa foul!

IbrahimDamola:
The truth hurts but yoruba cannot wish it away. Political history tells us SESS vote as a bloc, your scream of 'attachee by force' have not changed that reality and will not change it in future.

You have your ambitions, the East also have theirs, If APC did not choose SS as a running mate to buhari in 2015 while trying to pacify GEJ's SS region why should PDP choose SW region to pacify SW now?

It doesn't work like that.

The trap the SW wants to set for Atiku by asking for the SW VP is clear even to the blind. SW will gain a lot if they ditch the Buhari/Osibanjo ticket and vote for Equity, fairness of Atiku/Obi ticket. So that in future posterity will remember you for kicking out a tyrant without proper certificate who came to destroy national cohesion and promote disunity with divisive comments.

Still you haven't told me what the SE stand to gain or lose if they don't support Atiku for fielding a SW VP and he loses to Buhari running with a SW VP.

What will the SE do under these circumstances

Nobody decides for Yorubas. We know what is in our best interest.

Right now, we have the VP. Are we going to give it up just "So that in future posterity will remember you for kicking out a tyrant without proper certificate who came to destroy national cohesion and promote disunity with divisive comments".

Come on, that's bullsshiit. We all remember how GEJ marginalised Yorubas and favoured the SE despite the sacrifices we put in to make him president.

Sorry, we are wiser now...

IbrahimDamola:
Facts are stubborn, this is not emotional. The Eastern region have always voted as one, so I'll lump them. If there is discontent anywhere in Aba, it will reverberate in PH which is 20 mins way. If there is discontent in onitsha it will reverberate in Asaba which is 5 minutes away.

The VP have to be from the Eastern bloc so he consolidate on the 2 out of 3 southern region and then share votes in the SW and keep his battle in the north. A SW vp will threaten his support in the better south and yet yorubas will play the spoiler for him as they have not been reliable in voting pattern since 1999. He can't take that gamble.

Guy, attaching yourself to the SS makes you look insecure.

The SS will vote Atiku irrespective of where the VP comes from.

Now what choice does the SE have if they decide not to support Atiku for not getting the VP slot 4 more years of Buhari with Osinbajo as VP

Okrikacity:
Wailers what is Town Fulani and Cattle Fulani?

Fulani is Fulani period

Wailers were shouting Buhari his to old but Atiku is almost same age with Buhari.

Nigerians actually don't know what they want.

Weren't you taught in school?

We have the Town Fulani and Cattle Fulani.

IbrahimDamola:
You took your bath in river osun, you cannot expect to pick your towel in river niger.

The PDP have done everything to accomdate the SW but the SW schemed out itself from the PDP. Everybody is aware of that.
During GEJ era, PDP as the ruling party presented mulikat Adeola from Oyo to take over the Speakership position which was rightful theirs, but tinubu the power monopolist became threatened and ordered yoruba politicians who were mainly of the opposition to vote against the PDP yoruba speakership and for tambuwal north voted their own and tambuwal emerged speaker. Tinubu and Tambuwal were congratulated for selling yorubas stake in PDP. Yorubas effectively displeased themselves to please tinubu the power monopolist and PDP were ridiculed. The records are there.

PDP have done enough for yorubas but yorubas want it dead, giving them the SW ticket is like loading a machine gun and giving it to your enemy. It will be fatal.

Once VP is zoned to SW, the yorubas will mock SE and SS, cause disenchantment in the East, and vote apathy which will make Atiku lose Eastern support even when we all know SW won't give him bloc votes.


His best bet is to choose an Eastern VP, consolidate in the SESS region, in the SW he will do well because of the population of non-indigenes their and some yorubas who genuinely want Booharri out for destroying the economy.

On the baseline, Atiku/Obi or Atiku/Ngozi, will score at least 40% in SW, due to non-indigenes and those yorubas who are tired of Booharri's fake change.

Stop lumping the SE with the SS.
Most southerners supported Tambuwal to be speaker just as they supported Dogara.

If Atiku can win 40% of SW votes without a SW VP, don't you think he will do even better with one

What will Igbos gain/lose if Atiku loses Nothing!

Compare it with what Yorubas will lose if Buhari loses and we have no representation on the PDP ticket.

IbrahimDamola:
They are too republican to think like that. They believe in getting appreciated for their effort. They kept the party afloat while yorubas laboured to destroy it. A SW VP, will be an insult to Eastern nigeria.

SW are already very much accomodated in PDP even though they've derided the party for too long. They have the post of Deputy Nat. Secretary, National treasurer, and DG campaign of PDP. That's more than enough compensation for a SW region that kicked out PDP out of its region.

Monkey cannot work for baboon to simply come and chop. E no go happen. The VP is going East. No emotions just facts.

What is the essence of appreciation that ends at the polls and in a loss

Wike, Fayose, FFK and co sustained PDP while SE PDP politicians were revamping to APC left right centre.

Had Saraki and co not joined PDP, it would have been dead by now.

As it stands, SW has no stake in PDP. The VP slot will give us the confidence to ditch Osinbajo.

Have you guys gotten tired of 'Buhari till 2023, Igbo presidency' already

POP's showing in Osun shows Yorubas are tired of APC.
