How far?? you dey see wetin I dey see?

they contested wase wasn't serious and I wonder why reps use open ballot... Na Senate do proper democratic game and Akpabio won a Fair contest like tinubu won president elections.. it shows Akpabio was popular enough...

teepain:
He didn't have to order them around all he needed to do was to lobby them. The Nigerian President is a powerful office bordering almost on imperialism due to our kind of political arrangement. Hence, when a sitting Nigerian President lobbies a lawmaker, the lawmaker is most likely to defer to the President except for few.

Saraki got away with what he did in 2015 because Buhari did not express a strong preference but when he (PMB) did in 2019, he had his party's candidates.

so how come tambuwai emerge over mukailat that was favoured in 2011 during GEJ term...? If president de lobby means power de limited.. if he is imperialist like u claim no need for lobbying... Like I said if tinubu and APC favored Yari he would have Lost... Nothing PMB would have done to stop saraki Victory 2015

Vision101:
Reports had it that there was dollar rain in Yari's camp. Some silent protesters in apc like kalu backed him in cash and in quiet mobilisation.

Akpabio and tinubu banked on promises they made to the senators-elect. You know how political promises are looked at. Anything is possible. Wike played a role.

The greatest display of tinubu's strategy was in the house of representatives. That place was boiling. The master had his way.

Honestly we need to study this man and apply his strategies in boardroom. I'm watchful to see how he operates in African and international politics.

so who stop Akpabio camp from using dollars too... ??

Gajagojo:
I believe SE voted Yari

and you want to kill then for that??

Addme:
Sincerely, he really pulled it.
I jsu didn't even expect this much from him.

it's good for democracy nass should be able to choose their leaders with or without outside influence... It also shows Akpabio is popular to have won...

justified007:
Majority of them are PDP senators and some APC senators like Elisha Aboh who's never been loyal to the party for anything.

is nass APC headquarters so Yari contesting what's he is right for is now disloyalty to Party.. is this parliamentary system...

RingRoadMafia:
There are a lot of hidden messages inside this Peter Obi's congratulatory message to Hilda but only the smart can decode that he's also talking about himself. Use the image I posted below as a clue. 😎


Smart man!

he ll only remain online president... Aside PDP APC no other party can win president all these one Obi is doing is mere show off... 2027 if APC no win na PDP go win president... Nobi by jumping on trends shouting it's possible

RingRoadMafia:
Your people are not in unison. The Igbos are unarguably one of the largest of the 3 major ethnic groups but your house is not in order. Arrange your house first, then reorganise and come back strong.



Oga shut up if you have nothing to say.

Igbos supported and voted massively for Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan, and Atiku.

But the one time that they decided to rally behind their own son, you accuse them of playing tribal and religious politics? How dare you?? If Nigeria don taya una, just say so! The entire South South is seeing this deliberate gang up and in the fullness of time, everyone will get what they asked for.

Igbos voted PDP massively just like they'voted LP in 2023

Deckylicious:
Is this the best an Igbo politician can be in this country. Mtchhhhheeew.

na only de this country wey una de Always cry... Did they stop Igbo guys from contesting any of the position??

teepain:
Even Akpabio wouldn't say this. If Tinubu had supported Yari or any other contestant Akpabio would have been toast. The contenders that stepped down did so at the behest of Tinubu. If they didn't step down and they aligned with Yari, it would have been tight.

if tinubu supported Yari he would lose... U think those senators are babies that president ll order them around or tinubu ll give PDP senators order on whom to vote..

Procashtips:
Then the southern press was on his neck calling him all sort of names. Remember they called him a Dictator before winning the election so he was trying to be a 'democrat' by allowing things to flow until his 2nd term when he became firmer and took some hard decisions.

You know all these, wondering why you're just playing the long game.

mtcheew... Southern press... Ok enjoy ur info...

tbarrister:
Abbas is hausa from kaduna. Its an Arabic name mostly used by yorubas and thats the confusion. He's pure Hausa. E.g my name is Taofeek and people assume I'm yoruba because they mostly use the name but its an Arabic name and I'm from north central

but most pple just assume the whole North is hausa fulani... Shetima is neither Hausa nor fulani.. this is why pple would say buhari favored his brothers like all Northerners are hausa... In kaduna we have over 20 tribes...

Nawttiboi007:
Worthless orphan wey no sabi sey na him be bastard from gutter calling someone bastard 🤣🤣

idiot mother fucker fool

Procashtips:
You're just confirming my statements.
Buhari wasn't interested in stopping anyone from contesting or winning, if not, he would have also done what you said he did to Onnoghen.

All he did was to level the ground for anyone to emerge

Just tell us one direct action linked to him that indicate him trying to stop Tinubu from winning.

so why didn't he remove saraki after he emerged? Even when saraki was dragged to CCT majority of his colleagues supported him... And onnoghen resign he wasn't fired cos president no get power to remove CJN without Senate approval..

Procashtips:
Threatened by who?
The same OBJ that owned all the 3 arms of government in his 8 years rule?

That even wanted to go for 3rd term if not for his 3rd in command?

Which president wouldn't sign a budget? For the fact that you said he waited for a whole year to sign a budget shows how powerful he was as a president.

Be reading your own comments sometimes.

Remember what happened to the senate presidents under his rule?

so why didn't the Third term work... U just want to push the idea that president has unlimited powers which is untrue...

Nawttiboi007:
Ur mumu go last pass ur miserable life. Ozwuoiamo

at least I won't be as miserable as u are bastard

Procashtips:
Good at cherrypicking right?
Why did you leave out Obasanjo?

Next time, don't try to be clever by half

same obasanjo that refused signing budget during his time as president one year and after he was threatened with impeachment had to sign the document at national assembly.. educate urself in democracy president powers has limits ok.Nigeria isn't Rwanda where president is alpha and Omega...

Gidimolo01:
2 Hausas
2 Yorubas
1 south south
No I....

stop ur ignorance shetima is kanuri not Hausa... Abas is not even Hausa self... Nigeria isn't a tripod stand of Hausa fulani Igbo Yoruba... We have over 400 tribes...

Procashtips:
Like I said, Buhari no send una. Not a politician nor a die there leader.

The examples you made above happened because Buhari and Jonathan aren't the type of leaders that wants to die there.

I repeat again, if Buhari was interested in stopping anyone from getting anywhere as the then president, nothing would have happened.

Can you say same with Obasanjo, IBB or Abacha the die there leaders?

ibb abacha were military dictators so stop comparing apples and oranges... President has limit that's why the powers flows from constitution and he or she is voted into power...

stop writing tins anyhow GEJ no wan die yet fired sanusi as CBN gorvenor... Same PMB u said nobi Politician suspended onnoghen illegally as CJN before he fought and was ask to resign by NJC... Nobody would have stopped saraki winning SP 2015... President powers has limits... Akpabio was popular that's why he won... Otherwise he would have Lost Toda

garfield1:

Nawttiboi007:
Can u see how confused you're?

naptu2:
Voting is by open ballot in the House of Representatives.

using open ballot shameful on these guys...

Procashtips:
Una don start.
Outsmart Buhari?
If Buhari didn't want him to emerge, EFCC and co would have been on his neck the moment he showed interest in becoming the president.

Some of you under estimate the power of a Nigerian President.

Buhari no get una time, the man has achieved his life long goal, whoever became the Nigerian President thereafter was secondary to him.

go sidon president get limit... Nothing buhari would have done to stop saraki 2015 majority of his colleagues wanted him... Why GEJ no use efcc stop tambuwai

ferhyntorlah:
Rest!

Nawttiboi007:

garfield1:
Voting in reps is not secret

ferhyntorlah:
Of course, he did scheme.

Politics is scheming and the better schemer won.

Please don't quote me again.
Thanks and take a rest.

who are u that I won't quote ?? U want to paint saraki black for exercising his rights... If u are ignorant and not ready to learn stop posting online ok here is not your parlour...

garfield1:
Yari really tried to get 46.it means almost all opposition voted him.

it's good for democracy it shows nass is independent and pple from outside can't just say go for this... Akpabio was popular otherwise that's why he won like saraki did 2015
