Tinubu may not be a saint (which politician is? Not even Buhari with all his 'integrity' is. Nowhere in the World will you find 'saintly' politicians), but he is still the go-to person and central figure for negotiations with the FG in the SW region. This to me is a big advantage for the SouthWest over other regions, because ordinarily the region's governors don't carry much political weight either individually or collectively anyway -- How many of them have the capacity to remain relevant outside of office the way Tinubu has managed to over a decade since he left Alausa? We all witnessed how the PDP shortchanged the SW from the chairmanship position coz they were just too fragmented.

I am not too comfortable with the assignment given to him, but I think it is in the overall interest of the SW that Tinubu remains relevant at the centre while this administration lasts. Lastly, all those abusing and attacking Tinubu are either ignorant or just being mischievious because Politics is first of all a GAME. It is for those with the gusto and stomach to play HARD BALL! It is about negotiations. It is about being controversial if need be (you will represent different things to different people at different points in time), compromise, building alliances, gaining confidence and influence. It is an art of bargaining for Power in order to achieve one's interests. And Politics is not meant for idealists. The likes of Soyinka will never make a good politician in the Nigerian setting. Politics is for pragmatists and realists who aren't overly sentimental when dealing with issues. Tinubu will always be relevant because he seems knows when to put sentiments aside and get into real politiking. Until Nigeria is restructured in such a way that would render being at the centre redundant, I'm of the view that the SW needs to play real politiks of self-interest for the progress of the region.

What an amazing Post! You have said it all.

Nigeria Needs a Single, stable Religion and Christianity devoid of its Extremes, Will make a Good Religion for the country as Islam has shown it is more prone to Extremism than Christianity.

Of course, Our Politicians are Smart and the masses are dumb.. Such a shame. To them their interests which are represented by the party, comes first before any Rift between them. I pray that Buhari Decides not to Recontest and Backs out Before the Party primaries because that is the only way he will Not remain president But If he Decides to Recontest, He is in a Commanding Position to Clinch the party ticket at the Convention After which it's Game over! Another four years of Misery.

Poor Nigerians

Why does the Media keep referring to this as a Political Crisis? This is an internal political tussle between members of the same party which is absolutely Normal in any Democratic setting. This kind of political power play has to happen before the National convention and the Elections as they are merely attempting to get their house in order on time. I think the media is blowing this out of proportion and who knows, maybe to the benefit of The APC, and also to media houses and bloggers. Either ways Good for them.

Now I know where you are coming from however I will still put it to you that your notion about Atiku is clearly wrong bro and it is a question of time you will understand what I am talking about. Atiku is not Buhari and will never be. Atiku will perform beyond expectations, his antecedent in and out of politics will speak for him. Like QuotaSystem said, he is not an extremist and this is what Nigerians need now.

My brother, i understand you. Anyway that is why we are in a democracy You can go ahead and vote Atiku if that is what you want, it's Your Right! But i hope you're 100% sure you know who you're Rooting for because if later you begin crying again and begging for someone other than atiku, It would be very sad indeed because even animals learn from their mistakes, Talk more of Humans, the so called higher animals. Have a wonderful day sir.

QuotaSystem:
Like seriously.

It's another 8 years of Northern presidency and the mans definition of restructuring is on point.

Buhari is getting old and the cabal around him are frustrating the fight against corruption.

My only real grouse with Buhari is his governments attitude to the herdsmen killings. Atiku appears to be less extremist.

If it's corruption that majority of Nigerians want to vote for, then now is the best time to position oneself to be a beneficiary.

The icing on the cake is to see the two-faced OBJ reduced to nothingness once Atiku wins.

Still watching though with cards held close to chest.

If it's corruption that majority of Nigerians want to vote for, then now is the best time to position oneself to be a beneficiary.

I'm with you my brother

Ratello:
You will soon run out of steam for being this diabolical still chanting Sai Baba can't you see that Nigeria is dying under this evil administration of your god, Buhari, why are you like this? Do you want aggrieved Nigerians to place a perpetual curse on you folks for life. Stop marketing that useless and demonic government of Buhari here please and start Atikulating immediately.

Lol okay now i see where you're coming from, you want me to Atikulate hahaha..

Anyway to be clear, i Never and would Never support buhari. I remember this same scenario playing out in 2014, i was still in school then.. Everybody was supporting buhari because GEJ's Government was so bad they just wanted him out by all means.. i was saying i know GEJ is bad, But buhari will be worse, i kept warning them that history is available for you to know what this man did in his time as Head of state but their hate for GEJ clouded their reasoning. Eventually they succeeded in fostering this Calamity on Us. Now the same scenario is playing out again and I'm still Saying the same thing again, Nigerians are we cursed?? its like we have really been cursed in this country. Anyway, you can vote for Atiku if you want but those who have ears, Let them Hear!!

Asowari:
old mama go and marry

I wonder wetin be Una Problem with marriage o.. Marriage now don turn to the biggest Achievement Lol. Weather you like it or Not brother, That woman is Very Successful and fully accomplished and doesn't Need any Marriage to validate that. Plain Truth.

QuotaSystem:
Why? Is Atiku not a northerner? Lol.

Did you read what he said about restructuring? Lmao.

I think I might soon start Atikulating sef...I'm beginning to like his wits

Atiku2019 you might be getting a new member soon.

Same here... Maybe we should all support this Atiku. I'm very sure that When he wins Nigerians will eventually get what they are Looking for. It will really be fun to watch!

[quote author=seniwellsFX post=65373314][/quote]Tester, Keep giving Wrong people power thinking you are testing. Such a shame that you brain power is so Low, you couldn't even Understand the content of my Post.. And these are the people who are looking for better Governance. Such a shame!

*spits*

KingGBsky:
Shamefully shut up your mouth there.
Buhari government is the worst in the history of Nigeria.
Nonsense you.

Hey, can't you be smart for once or at least pretend to be smart for once in your life? Who doesn't know that Buhari's Government is the worst Nigeria has ever had? But then because of that we should Now move from frying pan to fire? This is the same story of Nigerians all over again : We complain that a government is so bad and we want that government out by all means that end up installing people are worse than the Previous ones! How sure are you that Atiku's Government will not be Worse than Buhari's own? If you could see the future and you see that Atiku's Regime(Thats if he manages to win) is worse than buharis own, Will you still prefer Atiku or stick to Buhari for now until we have someone who can make a change? Try and be smart for once my brother, we have always been moving from frying pan to fire in this country my brother E neva do??

Devils are not to be managed but to cast out. This devil must br casted out! Anyone rather than the devil is ok

smokedfish:
shatap....Go to Adamawa nd see fr urself befr u stat talkin

OLODO. When election time comes go and vote Atiku, I'm sure he's gonna be the solution to all Your Problems. Brainwashed Low life Scum. GTFOH!

Atiku is a Fraud and he will Always remain a Fraud. I still maintain that No matter how Bad Buhari's Regime is, A buhari Presidency is still a million times better than an Atiku Presidency. Instead of Atiku to be President, Buhari should remain there! We can not keep making the same mistake everytime moving from Frying Pan to fire, Enough is enough. Let's Manage the Devil we know Until a much better Candidate we can consider comes along, Not Old Recycled Northerners who Want nothing more than to Sell this Country to the Highest Bidder.

My Country people.. #NeverAgain

hmmm

I wish any of this could make a difference in The outcome of the elections, but as usual the Almajiris and Zombies can't wait to go cast their votes For the terrorist in power in exchange for some few pieces of Naira notes.

E.g. Take a look at Sarrki below

This Attention seeker again

Mourinho is Clueless. No jokes.

efesodje:
Is there a word bigger than a landslide? They have not seen anything yet. Where is the credible candidate to oppose him? Which section of the country has more registered voters with PVCs? Let's be realistic. It will be tough to get him out at this stage.

Before you attack this statement, try attacking the assertion in bold first. I don't support Buhari. I am just saying it as it is. If you want him out, go out and get your PVCs and pray our mass is enough to topple the northern oligarchs and almajiris

Now this is someone who understands How the Nigerian political system works. Only ignorant and sentimental people would disagree with you.

Delusions of Grandeur. Smh

I believe This issue doesn't need my input anymore, As i have already concluded my research analysis on it a Long time ago. Thanks guys, I'll Pass.

MONITZ:
Most Nigerians are a deceitful lot,this was how Abacha was also goaded into contesting then and they went a notch higher by organizing a million man march for him by Youths Earnestly Ask For Abacha(YEAA) which was led by Daniel Kanu and his crooked ills but where re they today ?,they re no where to be found bt they will always be remembered for the ignoble role they played in trying to foist Abacha on us,they say a good name is better than riches bt how many Nigerians really care about a good name? The same scenario is repeating itself once more ,re the people behind this project not Nigerians or is that they don't feel the heat of all that is happening around them?I believe they ve been induced with money so that any semblance of conscience they have is numbed hence this madness..

Lol I've always told you that as much as we don't want it to happen, Buhari will be reelected again next year and there's nothing anyone can do about it. You know why? Because this is NIGERIA!!! Get over it.
