CharlesCNG: Atiku Is Not Buhari and can never be
One of the laziest assumptions in Nigerian politics, which Dele momodu is foolishly invested, is that Atiku Abubakar can simply inherit “the northern vote” in 2027. That claim is weak for one basic reason: Atiku is not Buhari.
Buhari was not just another northern politician. He had a rare personal cult following, especially in parts of the North West, built over several election cycles. His appeal was deeper than party. His name itself carried emotional and political weight in ways very few northern politicians have ever matched.
Atiku does not command that kind of automatic loyalty. He may have influence, relevance, and recognition, but influence is not the same thing as mystique. Recognition is not the same thing as inherited mass followership.
That is the first weakness in the Dele Momodu-style theory that Atiku controls the North. It confuses Buhari’s personal political capital with Atiku’s ordinary northern relevance. Those are not the same thing.
The North did not become one man’s private estate under Buhari, and it certainly does not become Atiku’s inheritance now. Buhari built a following over years of repeated contests, strong emotional appeal, and a very particular northern image. Atiku has never commanded that same near-messianic standing.
So the first point is simple:
Atiku cannot be treated as Buhari’s automatic heir in the North.
That assumption is not strategy. It is lazy political storytelling. You are only assuming that you know the North. You don't know the North. The reason the North voted Tinubu was because of Buhari. Buhari voted and showed is vote for the whole world to see. Before then some Buhari supporters needed direction. But now that Buhari is no where. The next Northern leader is Atiku. How many northern elect right now is campaigning for Tinubu in the North right now. Even APC leaders from the north a largely silent. |

Mynd44: As of today, I don't see a single southern state Atiku can get 25% from as long as Tinubu as Obi are on the ballot.
As for Dele Momodu saying he will compete in Osun, the only reason he won last time was Governor Adeleke, with that support gone, Atiku will struggle.
The one thing atiku can pray 🙏 for is to get the highest votes and fight for a rerun which is difficult In this election Atiku is likely to have the highest votes but not the spread. What can really help him win is the rerun. |

If peter OBI or any other candidate has removed fuel subsidy and float naira as they all planned simlilar rebound inflation effect will happen.
This is the main reason every successive government since 1979 has always been scared to remove it.

nairalanda1: They can't . That's a one way road to
1. Discouraging investment in more refineries
2. Wrecking existing refineries
And central to the above two reasons is the right to make a profit. Because making a profit is crucial to how the refineries should be able to run...especially since they have to import 90% of the stuff they need to keep the refineries running well.(Nigeria can't build a refinery or oil rig from scratch in the country).
In Poland when it was under the rule of the Communist party, prices of foodstuff were controlled and regulated by the State. The result was massive food scarcity, with queues for various foodstuffs from time to time. Once the communist government was voted out in 1989, prices of foodstuff rose, but this time food was available in plentiful measure....and eventually prcies stabilzed
IN Nigeria, the government used to set prices for certain foodstuff..essenco. It worked until oil prices fell, and it became difficult to maintain the prices, leading to relative scarcity of things like milk and bread. It was eventually ended...and now there is plentiful milk and bread in NIgeria.
The problem with government regulating prices is that it is not going to regulate prices according to the needs of the business, it is going to do so to win votes and popularity. And if it means forcing the business or refinery to run at a loss, so be it. (That's why we lost our four refineries under subsidy and the price regulation it entailed). Don't take Nigerians for granted. Nigerians played a significant role in building Dangote refinery. Dangote that end up sacking the Nigerians that helped him build the refinery and replaced them with Indians. I have being in the oil industry and Nigerians are doing a lots. Now back to your theory. Tell me what Saudi Arabia and Russia that is doing differently that makes the product cheap. South Korea controlled pricing during the global spike in price. In Nigeria anything goes. It's about interest. |

Which organisation will borrow a new government money? Nonsense excuse. It was a stupid reason dey gave and you are acting same way to believe. Then there was no reason for Tinubu to announce it since it was not budgeted. Did they tell you that Buhari paid subsidy and that the subsidy payment expires at the day of the inauguration? |

nairalanda1: Unfortunately, now that subsidy is gone, government cannot regulate prices of fuel.
Regulation arose because under subsidy, government was assuming a lot of the costs of selling fuel, meaning that (in theory) marketers were taken care of. Any marketer trying to scam the government or make extra illict money on the side was subject to regulations..hence the need to regulateprices and enforce such regulations
Now that subsidy is gone, no more regulation. The only way government can regulate prices is to pay a production subsidy to refineries..via giving them some money, reducing their taxes, etc. Not by consumption subsides anymore. ANd it does not bring down prices a lot.
(And even production susbdies can cost the treasury a lot of money...see Russia for example). I will still tell you again that government can regulate price. There is nothing you have explained that I am not aware of. There is always a price control in a function system otherwise the various stakeholders can come together and say let us sell petrol 2500. There ways government can influence market price also. We leave an a exploitative society that government allow people to do whatever they like to do. Market forces determine pricing. However, if it comes to a time that the marketers and refinery owners may want to take advantage of circumstances the government can act because they are not ignorant of the market either. |

Go reason your marketers So you think I don't understand what I am talking about. Who regulates the activities of the oil industry. Who regulates their operations.

Talking about how the government will copy Obi solutions if he say anything is pure nonsensical. Why haven't they implemented several good blue print from the national conference to several good proposals that are in government. Many of those things they keep asking the government to implement several reports on many issues. Government always know what to do but choose not to do it for their own selfishness. |
