I disagree sir This has nothing to do with popularity but rather scheming.

Saraki schemed with the opposition against the party to clinch the Senate presidency seat. All these happened because Buhari wasn't firm.

The same thing is what Yari wanted to do but he forgot that the new sheriff isn't laid back like the previous ones.

but tinubu didn't scheme to win APC ticket and president ABI... Some of u lack understanding... It's not president Job to choose leaders for nass it's duty of nass and all members have right to contest which Yari just exercised... By the way nass isn't APC headquarters it's has PDP LP NNPP guys too...

EmekaA125:
Tinubu na master strategist no doubt. Congratulations Akpabio

Akpabio won on his popularity not tinubu strategy after all Yari got 46 votes

GeneralPula:
The Pro-Akpabio Senators had protested that Yari, been a first time Senator was not eligible to stand for nomination.

But isn’t this true?

A first time senator isn’t eligible become a SP..

is just convention not constitutional

GeneralPula:
North didn’t support any Yari. Yari visited Buhari and he told Yari straight not to go against party choice!

They stood with Akpabio..

anyone expecting Yari to win is like expecting LP with Obi to beat APC and PDP... Yari wasn't popular Amongst colleagues like Akpabio... Just like Lawan couldn't have beaten saraki in 2015

Zico5:
The truth of the matter is that the president of Nigeria is too powerful. He gets whatever he wants. I know Akpabio will be the senate president so far he is supported by Tinubu. For those people still looking for their manhood. They are on the long run. I just pray they begin to mend fences as earlier as possible. North no dey joke when it comes to election. If you fail in the North, you have lost already.

Akpabio won cos he is popular... Even without tinubu endorsement Akpabio ll win... In 2011 was GEJ not there when tambuwai won speaker ahead of mukailat PDP anionted.. ? 2015 saraki won cos he was popular Amongst his colleagues too...

Dikaveli:
Oga I know you are warri speak for your self too not for Igbo speaking parts of delta and rivers i don't know why you guys always want to fight Igbos in everything are they the reason you are not igbo

some of u Igbos just like to colonise pple even when Dem no gree... Imagine the audacity to say Akwa cross go follow Igbo... Na why wike dealt with Ipob in Rivers the useless sit at home in Igboland u see am for Delta... Make Ina stop de tag south South with East on everything...

Jostoman:
if you want to win, win free and fair like Abiola and with the Changing of results of your opponent. And then come back later to threaten judiciary with june 12 speech.

Fair and square is only if cheap Messiah Obi was announced even when LP no reach to win... U ll wail till 2027 when LP ll still lose again... Tinubu had 8m plus votes, PDP had 6m plus votes.. LP had 6m plus votes... And u think it's not fair.. had Obi remain in PDP not deceive by some of u PDP would have won the elections...

garfield1:
I mean he is far stronger than wase.with him gone,Abbas will win in a landslide.wase would just be like bago 2019,having less than 100.abbas is home and dry, left with akpabio

ur own case de always different if he is that strong he won't step down... He ll go for it and win...

lastmessenger:
Why send them to Cyprus? He could have just sent them to one of the universities in Nigeria and foot their bill.

exactly any small thing abroad... When we have school in Nigeria... Even govt ll spend scarce resources to sponsor pple abroad when school de here

ogaontop:
And you think Ariwoola won't use his good office and position to help Tinubu?

PS: It was Tinubu that recommended and made sure he became what he is!!

obidient mumu to early to wail... Ok

Odukes:
This is the country we have, a senator commits a crime and rubbing it in our faces on national TV. I will wait to see Tinibu's response to this!

wetin concern tinubu inside the matter... Na tinubu send am work.. besides The Man is now in PDP maybe u should direct your question to Atiku...

Yampotatocarrot:
Is any of the club stadiums even up to 10,000 in capacity?

But I agree that they should be able to fill up the stadium... I remember when I was serving in Nasarawa, Nasarawa United used to give bonus to corp members, so corp members dey always full their stadium, among normal fans... If other states copy that, I'm sure the number of fans in the stadium will increase

why give bonus? Who ll pay for it. See why football isn't business here... Can arsenal give bonus or Al ahly in Egypt... Fans have to love these clubs and be willing to pay

garfield1:
Betara is stronger

betara has stepped down already

This one is going no where.. if anyone could pull a something it should be Idris wase...

rickleye:
You don’t have to be a fan to enjoy a game of soccer. Each city should be able to get 10,000 weekly fans to support the game and team

it doesn't work that way... Europe and Nigeria is different...

Dikaveli:
Cool we the akwa ibom , cross river, rivers and Part of delta will go with south east

speak for yourself... It won't work and u Kno it... Akwa cross, rivers no go join Igbo not even Delta... The idea to always put south South to some nonsense antics of Igbo is shits

DaveHarry:
Nigeria is seriously lagging behind in the football business practice. See if we can take football as business just like those European nations, I assure our economy will improve significantly. I sure say french(not even mentioning the top4) football revenue go dey drag h2h with our national budget sef

u can't compare France to Nigeria ooo

rickleye:
Can you imagine ? In this day and age .
And in a soccer loving nation. Nobody is looking at how to fill stadiums on a weekly basis. Upgrade the stadium. It’s been built and that’s all .

if na aba stadium go full not everyone is enyimba fans so don't expect stadium to full...

Impregnable101:
Why the hell will they be having 4 different groups in the league then winners of each group will now play a playoff? Nonsense!

the season started late and playing regular season they won't meet up with CAF deadline of submitting clubs for Continent championship hence the need to play irregular and then playoff.. so it's not nonsense

DaveHarry:
West and East and Central Africa no wan learn the football business. It's a very huge industry with lots of profits. You know what I'm talking about

exactly and West Africa export talents to Europe More but at peanut sums cos football isn't proper business here... See what tp mazembe is doing cos they have a Rich owner...

DaveHarry:
North Africans really have the best leagues in Africa. See the CAF CL final 2nd leg played yesterday. Obobs see crowds full stadium, see rivalry. Real final!

they take football as business there... Fans pay premium to subscribe to these clubs... One time I listened to raja Casablanca president budget for a season was around 10m dollars... U can't compare that with Nigeria... Iwuala was earning 500k monthly playing for enyimba when he went to Esperance his salary was around 20m monthly... Ajayi junior at a point was earning close to 1m dollars annually playing for Al ahly of Egypt and that's not highest paid ooo...

tonididdy:
Ha…100m for the entire 9ja
Too small abeg… should be nothing less than half a billion
Half a billion and you’ll see a healthy growth in the league. You can’t tell me naija sport lovers can’t raise 500m prize for the league!

how much did u put in it?? How many NPFL clubs do fans subscribe too... How many sponsors are there?? Give kudos ist for this hopefully it ll improve

Dikaveli:
South East and south south should have their own countries


They are well represented

well South South would have their own space though not with South East if division happen

tonytony208:
Lolz. I'm Yoruba and I'm supporting Peter Obi.

I never knew you were among the daft people, who think anyone supporting Obi is Igbo.

Last time I checked, not even all Igbos voted for him.

Don't you think it's high time you weaned yourself of this unforgivable stupidity and stop reasoning like a mentally immature toddler?

90 percent Igbos voted Obi that's why APC PDP couldn't score even 10 percent in Igboland... Al the same he should enjoy the ovation cos to occupy aso rock via LP not possible the only way is if he can convince PDP to give him ticket...

Ogene001:
You forgot that he thrashed the Iragbiji refugee in Lagos

but Lost the main elections... Is like mancity Losing their home match to arsenal but still winning the league...

Ebelu:
How exactly do we exonerate Buhari and blame only his accomplices?

same way dasuki was arrested and GEJ was Left alone

Corridon:
Google it up.

Google isn't a true source that's why even in academics there's limit to use Google in research...

Corridon:
Five children from four different women.

the way u pple tel lies online eh

ebenholer2:
It does not breed any dictatorship rather than it avoids conflict of interest. This is the best thing to be done by any political party. Working with your enemies is like playing with fire.

who told them GEJ wasn't interested in 2011 PDP endorsed David mark for Senate he won unopposed... It was rep's tambuwai and ihedioha team up with ACN CPC to twart mukailat that was PDP annioted... Those who wanna contest should be allowed to do it's their rights... And if popular they win like saraki dogara tambuwai did... Besides it's not APC alone that ll decide but PDP other small party like LP NNPP APGA SDP ypp

Engrduke:
A political leader should be able to govern the populace effectively and at the same time put his house (political party) in order.

I think Jagaban has an edge over Buhari here.
Another Saraki episode may never succeed under Tinubu.
Those who are aversed to the emergence of Akpabio as Senate President should consider something.

Some people have been alleging APC of "Islamization" agenda. The House of Representatives Speaker is definitely going to be a Muslim considering the available contestants. If Yari emerges again as the Senate President, then both NASS leaders will be Muslims and no sincere human being can blame APC for that. Besides, it implies that the Vice President, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senate President and Speaker House of Representatives will all be from the North.

Tuesday's inauguration is not far from us.
Till then, fingers crossed.

if all are from North ll heaven fall after all president vice na Muslim... 2019 osinbajo gbajia are Yoruba and from Lagos too... It's left for nass members to decide who rules them...

Yankiss:
Why wont the executive allow the National Assembly to elect their respective President and Speaker? Handpicking and endorsing for these elective posts is another way of destroying checks and balances. It only breeds dictatorship. GEJ was never interested in the leadership of the national assembly, same for Yar Adua. We need balanced leadership with all three arms strictly independent.

those stepping down no get much support otherwise they ll contest and win... During APC president primaries tinubu opposed consensus went to the Field and won cos he was sure of himself... And mind u whatever happens legislature is independent na Dem go decide who precides over their affairs...

Parachoko:
Akpabio is the next Senate President

Forget all this brown envelope inspired articles

as in how popular is Yari to win... Akpabio doesn't even need endorsement to win... It's tajudeen abas that need to work out his Victory... For speaker... It's shameful how journalists can't do proper analyst of Politics sometimes na beer parlour gists person de see
