I hope Bello will support his father when the time comes because some obidients like penguin are already suggesting that his father run along side Peter Obi.

Oga Penguin don't forget that Peter Obi won Lagos which is in the South West o. grin

He also lost Osun to Atiku.
You can do better than this, can’t you?

What we are talking about is Tinubu’s support base asides Southwest. This is your opportunity to tell Nigerians and the world the other region(s) you can count on should push come to shove.

But no, you are talking you are asking if Bello Elrufai will support his father if he aligns with Obi.

Did you know Tinubu would ever align with Buhari after all the bad things Tinubu said of Buhari’s character?

Well, the point is to get you lots to understand that you are standing on a slippery sandy surface and should not be running your mouth pra pra pra.

People are fed up honestly,leave all those who come here to shout his mandate they stand,they are hungry,frail,sick and gangling like tired Vietnam soldiers.

True,the north central are not in support of him and this has proven to be true in the last elections and not even Wike the FCT minister can salvage them.
You don’t get it.

As things stand today, if the north and the east come together, Tinubu won’t even be able to rig the election.

How can he rig in Northwest, Northeast, North Central, Southsouth and Southeast without throwing Nigeria into war?

Muslim Muslim ticket is his base..

Power returning to south is his key

That is the political game

Conduct election 50 million times ... Tinubu will keep flogging the religious catholic bigot ..

Atiku and north has accepted the reality of power coming south and returning north .. though we will always be politically relevant till it returns.

Obi has no south in his pockets .. forget the southeast that rigg him

He lost south south and north central... southwest is a no for him

Don’t even know why this Obi supporters always find it hard to believe reality..
You used to be more reasonable than this.

You used to speak with facts and commonsense but I don’t know what happened to you.

Not even Tinubu himself would say what you are saying.

All those who doubted Obi before the elections have all hidden their faces in shame but you have refused to enthrone reason but chose to dwell in inanities.

Obi won Abuja

Obi won Nasarawa

Obi won Plateau

Obi lost Benue by just 3k votes.

Obi won Lagos

Obi won Edo

Obi won Cross River

Obi won Delta even when PDP Presidential running mate was from that state and a sitting governor.

Obi won Rivers.

Talking about Southeast would amount to overkill.

Yet you sit here and blab?

You said this on another thread and I ignored you and you came here to say it again.

I would understand if you don’t want Obi to become president for whatever your reason(s) might be, but don’t ever come around my space and be illogical and irrational.

PoliticsApart From The Southwest, Where Else Is Tinubu’s Support Base? by Penguin2(op):
I saw a thread of El-rufai preparing to challenge Tinubu both in traditional courts and in the court of public opinion in order to clear his name of the allegation of being a security risk and for the humiliation he suffered by being dropped by the National Assembly, and something caught my attention. What caught my attention is that the folks who accuse others of chest beating were chest beating that El-rufai is too small to cause any problems for Tinubu and that Tinubu is not Jonathan.

This is why I wanna ask these guys that are chest beating, apart from Southwest, where else can Tinubu count on to have people pour into the streets for his sake?

There was a reason Buhari got away with murder. And this much has been captured by Farouk Kperogi in one of his articles.

Buhari was able to get away with a lot of the atrocities he carried out during his administration because, despite his failures, he still had larger part of the north behind him. To be precise, you wouldn’t have come for Buhari without setting a fire in the whole of Northwest and Northeast that you won’t be able to put out. Even the north central states of Niger and Nasarawa.

Similarly, because Tinubu was looking to succeed Buhari and would not want anything disrupting the equation as it was, there was always fear that an attempt to disrupt Buhari presidency would trigger Tinubu to activate his Southwest structure to pour into the streets just to ensure that his own ambition isn’t jeopardized.

So, in a nutshell, anybody who made any attempt on Buhari’s government would have had 3 regions of Northwest, Northeast and Southwest to contend with in a mass demonstration that could put the country in jeopardy. That was why Buhari got a away with murder and a lot of things he did went unchallenged.

Now, can Tinubu boast of same? Should anything happen to Tinubu today, how many regions will be triggered to stand by him? Is he even sure of his native Southwest? And with Buhari out of power and the uniformity of opinion amongst northerners that he was a failure, how much of goodwill can he control for Tinubu in the north?

To attach faces to the picture we are painting, if you touch Peter Obi today, you would have Southeast, Southsouth and North Central to contend with.

If you touch Atiku today, you would have Northeast and Northwest to contend with.

But if you touch Tinubu, is he even sure of Southwest?


And for those who think Tinubu is protected because he has the armed forces under his command, go and ask Jonathan how it felt to be helpless even with all the armed forces.

Jonathan’s case was even better that he had the Southeast and Southsouth strongly behind him and could still count on some parts of North Central but Tinubu is not even sure of Southwest.

So, Tinubu supporters, where’s the confidence coming from? There’s already general disenchantment with Tinubu in the core north of Northwest and Northeast. He has never been home in the North Central. Southeast is inexistent in his political calculation. And Southsouth is not any different from Southeast.

Should the northern establishment decide to realign with the Southeast and Southsouth bloc as has always been since independence, where else would Tinubu turn to?

Because as things currently stand, if the North and the East come together in 2027, not even rigging will help Tinubu in the 2027 general election. Or how can Tinubu rig in the Northwest, Northeast, North Central, Southsouth and Southeast without triggering a revolution that would consume him?

Penguin is a bird of reason!

PoliticsTariff Hike: Power Minister Lampoons Nigerians, Promises More Price Hike. by Penguin2(op):
The minister complained that some Nigerians don’t turn off their AC and refrigerators when leaving their houses.

Minister of power, Adebayo Adelabu, has slammed Nigerians who indiscriminately leave their houses to go to work and other places with their refrigerators and air conditioners on.

Lamenting Nigerians’ culture of power consumption management due to its affordability in the country, the minister said, “A lot of people will come back from work, they want to have dinner, or they want to see their colleagues down the road, they switch on the AC for the room to be cooling before they come back.

“Some people will be going to work in the morning, a freezer that you left on for days, they will still leave it on when all the items in the freezer are frozen and 5, 6, 8 hours of their absence will not make it to defreeze, they will still leave it to be consuming power just because we are not paying enough.”

The minister disclosed this in Abuja on Friday while briefing journalists about the recent increase in electricity tariff by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission.

The grandson of prominent First Republic politician, Adegoke Adelabu, who was raised with public funds, he said Nigerians lack consumption management because electricity is cheap in the country.

He was appointed a deputy governor, operations of the Central Bank of Nigeria in 2014 by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The minister said, “The bitter truth we all need to tell ourselves as Nigerians. A few people are just privileged to sit on the high table. We’re on the same level, we must be able to tell the truth to ourselves.

“We have all been overseas before; we know how conscious the power consumers are about electricity consumption,” he added.

The minister had also, in the briefing, asked Nigerians to expect more increase in electricity tariff of customers under other bands after the NERC increased that of Band A.

That's the way it always been. Nigeria has no capacity to conduct internationally credible elections. 2027 will be rigged and those rigged out will be told to go to court, which is a dead end
No, I disagree.

Nigeria has the capacity to conduct one of the most credible elections on planet earth if the leaders and those in charge decide to.

Look at 2015 elections, it was applauded globally because, to a great extent, votes counted and the outcome reflected the will of the majority of Nigerians then (even though I have my reservations).

Now, Nigeria had the capacity to replicate same feat in 2023 going by what we saw INEC do in Anambra, Edo, Ekiti and Osun. We saw votes count in real time and all these elections reflected the will of the majority of the voters in those states.

But Mahmoud Yakubu decided to toe the line of infamy rather than write his name in gold.

So, no, Nigeria has the capacity to conduct a credible election if we don’t have people with predetermined end in mind handle the election.

And they have no choice but conduct a credible election in 2027 or this country might be too hot for those who think they are in power to stay in.

It’s not a threat.

Believe it or not, the outcome of the 2023 presidential election will forever remain controversial especially after INEC turned off the IREV and shut down every transparency in the management of the result of that election. In the end, ‘losers’ were told to “Go To Court” in a manner that seemed like mockery.

However, the ‘losers’, and indeed all Nigerians, held up hope and believed that the judiciary will correct what ill they observed during the election especially when you consider that INEC failed to keep to letters of both the Electoral Act and their Guidelines but alas, the judiciary arrived at a judgment they said was the right decision but I doubt majority of Nigerians agree with them.

Now, having seen that INEC is not likely to obey their own rules and that the judiciary may not give a judgment acceptable to many, do you think Nigerians would have the kind of patience they had last year should the 2027 elections be rigged or would they rather resort to self help?
