Both Wike and Makinde were G5 members. Last election, the G5 supported Tinubu.

Now, PDP is split into Makinde and Wike's factions.

What is means is that either you support Wike or Makinde, you are still supporting Tinubu indirectly.

Yes o,reason why I keep on saying they are both working for the same objective and goal which is to render PDP totally useless

chidiokay:
Even though the PDP is the 2nd strongest opposition in the country, PDP is just a name the people in it are the structure

The only difference between APC and PDP is one has a " sheriff" that can whip everyone back to line, you fight him everyone fight you

But the Pdp is a wild wild west, those that can call Wike to order already sold there birth right in xchange for porridge ... most of this them Wike sponspor their ambition

Wike and his loyalist no get anything they fit use pdp achieve, the best move is the other fraction should move there structure into a new coalition like the Npdp did in 2015

Wike is useless to Tinubu without anyone to Fight

I quite agree with your last statement ,the only reason why Tinubu needs Wike and his team to be in PDP is to give PDP enough internal troubles to cause it's total destruction. Obj did the same tactics then to ANPP and the party went into oblivion

Mynd44:
The Akwa Ibom State governor is right. If the PDP Isn't careful, they might not be able to field candidates as if the wrong National Secretary signs your forms, you are as well as gone even if you have the highest votes. That is the risk he spoke about.

This matter needs to be solved and solved fast else even Governor Adeleke will have no choice but to either decamp to another party play a very dangerous gamble.

You think Adeleke doesn't know ? All those governors in PDP ,senators ,and reps need an excuse to decamp to APC and to support Tinubu for reelection . Wike,Seyi ,Atiku and PDP have the mandate to provide that excuse for anybody member to decamp . It is all a game . They will going to court till election ,I have said it that making PDP unattractive to any serious politician who wants to win is the main objective of all the wahala Wike ,and maklnde are doing

Wike ,Seyi makinde ,Atiku and even el Rufai are all working for Tinubu .
Seyi and Wike are working hand in hand to create confusion in PDP ,this is so so obvious . They won't leave the party but try will make sure the party doesn't have peace .
El Rufai and Atiku on the other hand with others are working ton destabilise any opposition forces or group outside PDP that might want to challenge Tinubu by saying they are doing a coalition. By the time they gather Peter Obi and the rest ,all caged in one eye coalition,that is it ..
Tinubu is really a master at this. If anyone still have doubt about Atiku ,Wike and Seyi working for Tinubu then that person is a learner

from all indications. it is 80% certain that tinubu will win

Burob:
After all the political algebra & abracadabra, there can only be one conclusion, President Tinubu is the winner of the election.

Northern Nigeria has no interest in the 2027 general election, they are waiting for 2031, the purported Abokis making noise are looking for federal government positions.

Least u forget that in the 2019 general election, no one from southern Nigeria was promoted to run against President Buhari.

It is the same desperado Atiku that was the major contestant of Buhari.

A y party that fields Atiku as it's presidential Candidate is just as plying around and not serious .
The plan of the north will be to make the north forge a common front while breaking the south

U.S. suspends student visa appointments globally, pushes for social media vetting

The United States has temporarily halted the scheduling of new student visa interviews at embassies and consulates worldwide, as part of a broader move to introduce stricter social media screening for foreign applicants.

Atiku is working for APC and tinubu. If truly he is scheming to get the coalition presidential ticket

sleek214:
Wike should be kicked out of the party.

They are not fighting ,they are just acting. They are both on the same mission . The game is to make PDP unattractive and unhabitablle for any serious opposition to tinubu come 2027.
Now as the fight is going on ,no sensible presidential candidate will even think of using PDP.i doubt if they will even have a candidate

The governor said that although he loves the PDP, he cannot guarantee a seamless election victory in the party due to its ongoing internal crisis.

“I love the PDP, I want to stay in the PDP but clearly, I don’t have a road map to guarantee that I’ll be able to have a smooth sail in the elections, not because we won’t win elections. In this state today, with the work that all of us have done, even if we contest on a zero party, we will win this election. There’s no doubt about it. We’ve worked very hard, but we know that at the national level that our party is not coming together.

“Every day, secretary this and that, and so you take your form, they send it to INEC, and then you run all the elections, you perhaps win the elections and just on technical ground, because the wrong person signed your form, you lose everything,” Governor Eno said.

All of them in that party knows what is happening . All this is part of wike and Tinubu plan to win 2027 elections . They need to have all the southern power blocs with them so that they can counter any plan the north is bringing. I won't be surprised if the north fields and supports a Northern candidate in 2027

Because the person he contested against then is now in power, tinubu wasn't in power. obi didn't contest against a sitting president then in 2023,no, he is contesting against a sitting president

Goodnewsforlife:
If truly obi won the election hands down in 2023, why call for coalition now?

Why is it that he doesn't repeat the same feat again this time?

If truly he won I believe he should jettison the idea of coalition and seek electoral reform and strengthening of inec better than what we had before

they won't talk about that again, primarily because their son isn't in power anymore. We are now in the present.
Insecurity is the only excuse they can use against tinubu

Funflipper:
What did their son do about the security situation for 8 consecutive years?

Insecurity is a big issue that the north can use against Tinubu in 2027

I will like anyone with recent information to please shed more light and educate us more on this topic and question .
How much does one. We'd to go to China and import goods profitably?
Please consider visa ,ticket,accommodation and cost of goods freight to Nigeria

ayoncox:
They will never fight, they are both playing to the gallery , they know what they both are doing

Thank you,that is what most people don't understand . All these stories Wike is saying is all part of their well rehearsed plot. Soon makinde too will come out to state his own version. Then the party will be polarised into two groups . They will be like that till 2027. By that time noone will even take their serious anymore . All these stage fighting Na political game. I'm not even surprised .

The end game of all this is to make PDP present a very weak candidate and that is even if they are able to . And secondly to make PDP look very unattractive to any serious politicians wishing to contest any elections . No wonder their senators and reps and also governor's are defecting on a daily basis .

PHOENIX0007:
It is very clear from HE Nyesom Wike that PDP is being manipulated by some northern forces projecting their ambitions for 2027. Atiku should stop manipulating makinde and the pdp that is the bedrock of the political crisis. His ambition to get the pdp ticket in 2027 will end up being the destruction of pdp in 2027 elections. Supreme court has ruled that anyawu is the secretary and it should be adhered to regardless of any feelings. Pdp in shambles, labour party in shambles, opposition is dead as it is.

Atiku cannot manipulate Seyi makinde .rule that out of it

It. Shouldn't take any sensible person to see the bigger hand of a powerful person in all this drama .
Seyi makinde and Wike are both working for the same person and the objective is to weaken and destroy PDP . They are doing a fantastic job at it . They have created 2 warring factions that have decided not to listen to each other or compromise ,so Na like dis pdp go die .

it is what it is, most especially with and in Nigerian politics.
Don't be surprised that when it gets to election time majority of those you see now supporting Obi, if they are Yorubas, will change tune and say they will rather stay with tinubu

Igboeblie:
Obi is the best material so far for presidency but tribalism will make a man to leave access road and enter bush.

nigeria presidential election isn't about achievements or good qualities, it is all about tribal and religious politics. it will be challenging for Obi to win in 2027. he is a dark horse that the norther political elites dont know yet and cant trust fully with absolute power, they will rather stick with tinubu that they know so well and who has been their friends for long, another side is the tenure, i doubt if the north will decide to go with a candidate that will have 8 years option than to go with tinubu who will have just 4 years and who will hand over power to the north.
Fielding a southerner against tinubu in 2027 will certainly fail; the only option will be to divide the voters along north vs south.

danvon:
Goodluck Jonathan

First, Jonathan didn't rule a second term, this could be marketed as his second term, plus Jonathan has proven he is not overly ambitious, he will stop after 2027 and handover to the North.

Jonathan was the first president to abolish fuel subsidy that Tinubu himself would later imitate.

Even Reno Omokri was picked as an aide by Jonathan, i doubt Reno would not support him.

Any coalition that doesn't involve Jonathan will fail drastically.

He has a very very good chance but I doubt if he will want to come out of political retirement to.conteat a sitting president like Tinubu . Although he may be encouraged by what is happening in Ghana where magma is coming back for a second term after losing and has started doing wonders in Ghana

Despite their political differences,religious differences,one thing joins them together and makes them common to each other and makes them equal and that is the fact that they are both very rich ,popular and successful

anonimi:
How will he improve the economy when he is printing money and borrowing money to steal after removing subsidy, devaluing the Naira and increasing taxes on the poor?

Is it by importing food to kill farmers or by bribing people like Agbakoba to make up useless stories about government types


https://www.nairaland.com/8430389/nigerias-democracy-failed-must-explore

From all indications,it seems people have accepted the fuel price hike and are no longer complaining much. But the issue of insecurity can make the north turn against him . He has to address that issue if he is to win northern voters

AustineE1:
Tinubu will be retired to Lagos,atleast the son would be the governor by then....since Lagos is their private estate,he can keep himself busy there giving his son fatherly advice.
Nigerians need a breath of fresh air!

Tinubu will be very very difficult to beat most especially if the economy improves and if he is able to complete all his infrastructural projects all over the country. .
The only point the opposition can use against him is the issue of insecurity,apart from that it will be difficult to pinpoint by major negative aspect. He is a very smart man

we must understand the risk involved in being a policeman in Nigeria, i am sure the police in the USA would have reacted almost in an identical way.
if the details are correct, the police don't know who is in the car; it might be kidnappers or armed robbers. all the man should have done was to park; that would have saved all this calamity.
we have read and heard stories of how robbers shoot and kill police men at checkpoints. Never argue with anyone who holds a gun, comply, and stay safe
The man will be blaming himself now , jailing the police officers won't bring his son back, just an extra 10 minutes could have kept his boy alive . i will never argue with anyone holding a cane, how much more someone carrying a live gun

Baldg:
The question is does driving against traffic warrant the application of live bullets?

Obi would be very stupid to accept this deal . Stay away from Atiku ,he will lose again .

If anyone shed or cry any yeye cry at my marriage ,I go slap am ooo.

Why cry at your friend's marriage ceremony ? Is he going to die or what ?
Did the guy cry at Davido's marriage ? I still don't understand how we support things like this . There is absolutely no reason for him to cru ,no matter what they have been through .
At such an occasion you can only cry when you realise you are losing something very precious but apart from that there is no reason for a man to be crying at his friends marriage ceremony .
Another reason for the tears could be that he remembers those who were supposed to be there but had died ,that can also bring tears

As long as Wike and Atiku remain in control of pdp and its structures ,the party is as good as dead

As long as Wike and Atiku remain in charge and control of pdp

Lolz Seyi Tinubu future governor of Lagos State . Lagos go hear am ,dem go feel it .
Let's call lege Miami to defend Seyi tinubu

This is what happens when fools and Dundee United's are votes into power.
