Spot on, Bro.

I think say na only me noticed that.
Walahi na real Saint umeh be now..as e don dea follow PO around

Legitisreal:
Maze man

Labour no get their own candidate for Delta or what?

W have seen umeh become saint so ovie own no go shock me

When are you defecting to APC after the election Sir?
There's a record and history of every gubernatorial candidate defecting after losing an election in Lagos.

LeoDeKing:
I thought nairaland has a joke section. 

Why is this in politics section? 

This can't presidential rally. Looks more like a crowded bank premises where customers are waiting for their turn to have access into the banking hall.

One clown said crowd in rally means nothing. Are these not the same clowns doing 1 trillion match for same pandora anini few days ago.

Is it not the same Labour Party that after abysmal low turn out in a rally started blaming one of its thieves for stealing campaign funds meant for the mobilisation of miscreants?

What is it with this changing of rules after the kick off whistle is blown? This is how they will still change their rules after Tinubu is declared president elect. 

Omooo, I no be Tinubu fan ooo but tbh, This one enter���

The Northern elders forum, AREWA group and other socialist groups up north already placed the demand on Kwakwaso to step down for his brother Atiku Abubakar.
Though Kwakwaso isn't willing cos of how he was treated in the PDP, but inside sources revealed that talks are really advancing btwn the two kinsmen.

The News will eventually break later than sooner...

oluseyiforjesus:
Atiku can't win d election, it's not a curse it's just d fact ...........

and WHEN he eventually wins will u be decent enough to eat your vomit here, sir?

This is abosolutely the most intelligent and knowledgeable message I have seen on Nairaland today.

adioolayi:
I still believe they will resolve all pending issues...

I am certain PDP cannot go into that elections without the support of 5 governors...

5 Governors is huge..if na one now, they can do shakara...but 5

They just have to do something...else, na own goal be that.

In other news, I listened to Atiku's speech yesterday....he seems tired and all worked up already...he needs to relax..take necessary rest before he goes out to campaign...it's understandable na old man sha...make dem package his itineraries well...

The party Chairman Ayu also scored an own goal by saying they will want to bring back the 16 years of PDP rule....the same 16years Nigerians are saying never again..that's was full of monumental corrupt practices

Okowa...the VP candidate speech was also uninspiring....no vibes....not articulate ...they will need to work on him.

PDP should put their house in order to give us a befitting 2023 electioneering process...anyone that wins ...Peter Obi, Atiku or Tinubu should not have an easy ride

That's all

edungene7:
All of u shouting Atiku spoke about the solution would he implement them we all know they just political statements Atiku ranks amongst the biggest thieves in the history of this country

u know you can go to prison straightaway with this ur unguided and false statement?

But this same Obi was a PDP member some few months ago. How come he suddenly became a saint � � � � �

DOTian:


Stop being petty! Even the blind can see the difference.
This is not an ethnic tussle.
What you have in Obi is a real democrat with quintessential credentials to help save you from yourself in Nigeria. The ordinary folks in this country, who were traumatized by the shameful outcomes of the conventions of the two major parties have now been given a good reason let out a sigh of relief.
Obi might not be the savior we are waiting for, but by far, he is a massive improvement to the atrocities representing the APC and the PDP

Idimolata:
They both have something in common

Failures you meant

Moh247:




I really Pity 75 years old Atiku , this is his last and final opportunity after 30 years of wasting money

Atiku has been wailing endlessly since Tinubu picked a Muslim Vice President from NorthEast

Peter Obi, Kwankwaso and Sowore are not bothered about Tinubu's VP slot, they are minding their business and campaigning about


.

..is this all your memory could serve you about politics?

peepydelano:
Osun people are daft and not reasoning well. Anyways we ain’t giving up till the very end

I don't comment often, but I have to reply this idiot...

You're a fool for saying this to us, Iam proudly Osun Indigen.

BluntCrazeMan:
Na waa Ooo.
Ok naa..
..
MEANWHILE...
GO AND VERIFY.
..
Two men were governors: one in Lagos, the other in Anambra.
Towards the end of their second term, the one in Lagos sent his retirement bill and got his house of assembly to approve what you see below as his yearly pension.

1. 300% annual salary as severance package as approved by RMAFAC.
2. 100% of annual basic salary of incumbent gov as salary for LIFE even after leaving office.
3. Six new cars every 3 years
4. A new house in Lagos, minimum 5 bedroom
5. A new house in Abuja or any other location, minimum 5 bedroom.
6. Free medical care for him and members of his family for life.
7. Entitled to cooks, stewards, Gardners, and domestic staffs, all pensionable.
8. 300% of his annual basic salary as governor every 2 years as furniture allowance
9. 100% of annual basic salary as governor as his house maintenance allowance
10. Two DSS officers, 1 female officer for his wife and eight policemen to guard him.
11. 25% of his annual basic salary for personal assistants.
12. 30% of his annual basic salary for car maintenance .
13. 20% of his annual basic salary as utilities maintenance.
14. Pensionable drivers, no limits to the number.

(This is apart from what he gets as a percentage of collections from the firm - Alpha Beta - which collects tax for Lagos State, and the total control he has over the governors and the treasury.)
..
..
But See what Peter Obi collects from Anambra State since leaving office as governor:

1. No gratuity
2. No pensions
3. No houses
4. No cars
5. No allowances of any kind
6. No maintenances of any kind.
7. No personal assistants paid by the state.
8. No domestic staffs paid by the state.
9. No aids sponsored by the state.
10. Not even pure water.
11. No shishi from the State.

Now the two men want to be president.

So choose you today who means well for Nigeria and who will serve the people selflessly.

I am just exposing your mind to see the truth.
It is now your decision to make and convince others.
Use your reasoning..
Vote and support wisely….

oops! Same youths you're pacifying here will still post the diabolic cap sign of their forefather whose life ambition is to a tenant in the Villa. So sorry, that's the kinda kontri we find ourselves.

You're definitely living in the dark to think the Youth tripping out in their millions to register want another ancestor as our leader☺️ Alaye, go and tell your Tinubu that WE ARE NOW OBIDIENTLY READY FOR THE REAL STAR BOY... PETER GREGORY.

VoteTinubu2023:
Quite impressive. I hope people can ensure they turnout to vote same way they turnout to register. All votes will count. All votes must count. Nigerians must ensure they vote for the most experienced candidate, the candidate who has the capacity to generate wealth at this time of dwindling Government revenue worldwide.


Vote Tinubu 2023. Vote APC.

Your arrogant approach to this response self shows how passionate you are to deliver on the job APC uchins has paid you for

The truth is The North will NEVER reject their own! ATIKU IS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA...
It may not be morally great, but that's how this country has been structured. #weneedanewconstitution

PassingShot:

Yes, you can vote LP or any other party. However, APC and PDP remain the two front runners and they naturally enjoy more focus and attention now.

Try answer the poser I put up.

Randy111:


As it is now Peter Obi is more relevant to us than PDP and APC put together. E get why

Congratulations, he can as well be your president alone.
Truth be told, he lacks the sagacity to win an election.

Ezewuzie01:
Peter Obi has shown he is a coward capitulating at this point in time. Pdp don't need cowards, it takes guts to unseat a ruling party and they need a fighter not a pusssy running around looking for which party will give him free ticket.

God bless you for this comment.
Many people don't look at the other side of politics.
If you want to be a politician, you must be ready to challenge all odds. Sagacity, Tenacity, Vibrancy and a little bit of madness.. especially unseating a ruling party.
I already knew Peter Obi isn't the sagacious candidate that can win the ticket of the major opposition party!

Thank God you're not God Himself. And u can use your pvc,if you have one to swear in your Tinubu in his Bourdilon Mansion.

No need self cos he already bought a senatorial form.

femiasaolu2014:
It's clear to me that the PDP is clearly unserious and is ready to lose the general elections.

Who in his right mind will vote that uncouth, uncivilised, baby tyrant of a man called Wike?

I will rather vote for Tinubu or whichever unfortunates the APC presents.

PDP can go to blazes

Oogway:
As a fan of Osinbajo and Resident of Calabar, Cross River State. It saddens me that Calabar has been without electricity for over 1 month and Osinbajo visited the state and never comment on the electricity problems of the state, as an incumbent Vice President and Presidential aspirant. It goes a long way to show the kind of President he’ll become

is Osinbajo living in Calabar with you?
Do you not have a governor or local give chairman? Someone came on a 45min visit & u want him to give you Nepa light. Alaye, goan lodge ur complain to your governor. Or you buy Gen. Consult me for a Silent Gen at affordable price.

Exactly that's the point!
Power is not given on a platter of gold, power is being fought for.
Every serious candidate goes around for delegate votes persuasions in their states. I haven't seen that seriousness in Peter Obi. Yes, we all know he's gonna be a good president, but agitations and wishful thinking alone can't and will NEVER get you a presidential ticket.

Obviously, maybe he's actually settling down for a VP slot with Atiku as the news currently flying.

obontami:


Even obi himself knows he doesn't have a chance. You ever wonder why he doesn't takes his own presidential campaign seriously?

Abi oo.

Wike is to PDP what Tinubu is, to APC

Aufbauh:

If that is the case then give your ticket to Wike asap!

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.

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

drlateef:




It’s all a lie. We all saw the video. He gave his seat to Tinubu and promised yo work for his presidency. We all have one month to wait. Those who are delegates already know who to vote for, long before Oshinbajo came out with his intention.

why won't he give his seat to Tinubu when a 50M alert don sound for his account.
U guys need to look inedept.This is POLICTICS...and anything can happen!

It's all a game. Please don't be too carried away when politicians play their dirty games.

INEC will definitely shift the date to August.

Na just one phone call from Mr. President. And case closed.

I used to be a strong critic of you. But I can't believe that as of now, we are on the same page.

As a matter of fact, iam now a Pro-PYO mobilizer in one of the SW states... GRASSROOT FOR OSINBAJO 2023. Let's have some private conversation...

post=110872337:

The Prof himself.
STARBOY FOR 2023.

Asabe4, wish our amiable Vice president Prof Yemi Osinbajo a Happy Birthday biko.

Asabe herself.
Better pikin

You are free to make your sscertions on whatever u refer as a political family.
Tbh, if they put them both on a ballot �️ paper, who will u chose? Ur genuine answer is the same as majority of Nigerians. So, bros, wait for it,.PYO will declare & with the nod of Mr President as his choice, PYO is cruising to the top seat!

FreeStuffsNG:
Campaign officially starts in April, I believe it is a very smart idea that Prof keeps yielding the time for Asiwaju Tinubu to keep consulting so he can use the outcome as a strong factor.

His decision to contest or not depends on the outcome of Asiwaju's consultations.

If the Asiwaju Tinubu consultation visits keep maintaining its high rating, coverage and going on with this huge acceptance so far in the SW and North, it provides a genuine reason for Prof not to proceed to contest except he wants to be another HE Aregbesola .

Those Royal fathers like Ikubabayeye who already endorsed Asiwaju will not endorse Prof. They will rather call for a meeting to request for Prof to step down and ensure that Asiwaju makes some concessions to Prof. out of fairness than to endorse Prof.

Prof Osibanjo is a wise man and one of the members of the Asiwaju Political family. He will not want to throw his goodwill away because the likes of Mr Laolu Akande says so. Mr Akande can not get the political endorsements Prof needs to upstage Asiwaju in the SW and Northern political strongholds of APC.

So , if you are on the PYO team, it is time you realize that Asiwaju and PYO are in the same political family and majority of that political family have already endorsed Asiwaju Tinubu.

So, on the mandate of Asiwaju Tinubu I stand. I love and admire PYO but 2023 is the year of Asiwaju Tinubu. It is BAT 2023.

PDP will likely give its ticket to HE Atiku but Asiwaju Tinubu will trounce HE Atiku at the polls.

Please support Asiwaju Tinubu. Please join the winning team.

Thank you.

How much were you paid to be posting these stories everytime? Oh boy, u must be rich by now sha. Anyways, my regards to your Boss.

FreeStuffsNG:
Game on! All we want is politics without bitterness.

I suspect that PDP Presidential ticket will be won by him.

On the mandate of Asiwaju Tinubu I stand.


Dear Patriotic Nigerian and lover of Nigeria, this is just to let you know why Asiwaju Tinubu towers far above HE Atiku and others and state few of the reasons why Asiwaju Tinubu is competent and the most prepared,I may need to take you down memory lane of his account of stewardship in public office sirs and mas.

As the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Tinubu recovered what is now called Eko Atlantic from the raging Atlantic ocean Lagos Bar beach coast line flooding (for decades that problem even some of the more developed nations explain away as climate change problems) defied all solutions by FG and the highbrow strategic Victoria Island was deteriorating fast with businesses, embassies, hotels etc exiting VI in droves. During that time, the Atlantic ocean flooding reach the fringes of Ozumba after the flood completely take over Adetokunbo Ademola. Lagos State Government under the brilliant , resourceful and hardworking Asiwaju Tinubu solved that herculean challenge and today, VI is back to its glory.

It was Asiwaju Tinubu that brought back the Lagos Central Business District and Broad street commercial nerve centre of Nigeria back to life after it was abandoned, it's Asiwaju Tinubu who built major roads from Oregun to Lawanson to Igando LASU to as far as Badagry etc.

Asiwaju Tinubu is the one who fixed the horrible waste problem we had in Lagos and that LASTMA and BRT you see was created by Asiwaju. Asiwaju Tinubu was the one who got Lagos State to be part of the owners of Econet and unlike Delta State where the shares were sold and funds pocketed, Lagos State Shares were warehoused with professional investors in the state investment agency called Ibile holdings.

Asiwaju Tinubu increased bursaries to students of Lagos State origin (NULASS) and made public schools free for all Lagosians regardless of your tribe, religion or political party affiliation after his administration had successfully returned missionary schools to their original owners( other states later copied Lagos) . It was during his tenure that Ikeja General Hospital became a teaching Hospital, upgraded most of the clinics to General Hospitals giving free health to the 5 years and below and Lagosians of 65 years and above age group. .

The fund that BRF used to quickly build infrastructures were the LGA funds withheld by Pa Obasanjo and despite that Asiwaju Tinubu never owed salaries.
When the purchase of FG refineries by Alhaji Dangote was cancelled by HE Yardua, Alhaji Aliko Dangote ran to Asiwaju Tinubu after most state governments and governors in the SS gave Dangote a cold shoulder. Today, through the assistance Asiwaju Tinubu gave Aliko Dangote, Dangote Refinery is taking off to help us stop the petrol subsidy killing our naira and public finances.


Asiwaju Tinubu is loyal to those who paid the ultimate price for our democracy and today heroes like Bagauda Kalto, Pa Alfred Rewane, Pa Abraham Adesanya etc are immortalized in Lagos . One of the most memorable achievements of Asiwaju Tinubu for me was helping to stop the blood letting and recurring Hausa-Yoruba/OPC war in Idi Araba and Agege. Those hellish period of unrest defied even the effort of past military state administrators of Lagos but Asiwaju Tinubu was able to solve it.

That Lagos State Government civil service is regarded as the best in Nigeria is due to the hardwork Asiwaju Tinubu did to reform it, create Tutors General offices, improved harmonized pay structure, best pension scheme for civil servants etc.
I can go on and on to educate you on the legacies of Asiwaju Tinubu still standing till today as my reasons for my confidence in Asiwaju Tinubu sir/ma

That's why my appeal goes to you my fellow patriotic Nigerians to please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.
Please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.

johnmartus:
Let me congratulate you first mr governor at least for not disappointed the electorates my prayers is that you win APC ticket which I believe you will surely won.

Aregbesola not support you to become governor in your first tenure and his antagonist shouldn't be taken serious.

Omo..this your English eeh...o ti zeh for your English oo
