Thats a lie. You don’t bring any evidence and expect to win in court. You claim you won election and yet you didn’t bring any cogent evidence and figures to back it up. Yet you expect the judges to decide in your favour. No be juju be dat?😂😂😂

In Nasarawa, Ombugadu supplied all the figures and documents and won at the Tribunal only for the higher courts to upturn that decision.

What did he do wrong?

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!

drlateef:
Mtcheww!!!! Nigeria is not a banana republic. We have processes to redress the problem. Go to court and show your evidence. Obi didn’t do that. Atiku didn’t either.

Seeing what we’ve seen of the courts, isn’t it obvious that no amount of evidence would have been enough?

Kasdat5:
Lol you people never stop to amuse me . No wonder he's loosing popularity .

Did Obi win FCT because of Ireti or Ireti won because of Obi?

3 appointments and 2 of them are Yoruba.

Isn’t it already obvious those that will be benefiting from the scheme?

Tinubu wants to use Nigeria’s money to train his people 😏

Paraman:
No matter the price, real Nigerians are ready to pay. Just give us this light.

So those complaining are not real Nigerians Abi?

The funny thing is that the opposition to all these inhuman policies is even strongest in Southwest.

So, I guess those are the people you are talking about.

Ance4Liverpool:
2027 some fools complaining about the bad leadership of tinibu will still vote him again just with a packet of maggi salt and 2k

They don’t even need 2k.

Just shout “Ronu” or “the Igbos will take your land” and their brains will stop working and they will vote Tinubu again.

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.

KennethOkonkwo:
You are just bad losers like Atiku,buhari,old falae and Awolowo&Azikwe in the past.

Claiming rigging is a normal rhetoric of losers.

Azikiwe became the name Awolowo never dreamt of becoming.

So, if anybody was ever bitter, it’s definitely not Azikiwe.

Kasdat5:
Last year
Yes !!
Doubt if he'd get same popularity , even the LP FCT senator is no where to be found .

Obi doesn’t need the LP FCT senator. It’s the senator that needs Obi.

DMerciful:
Going to court has ended for the Obidients. 2027 Obi must be declared or Sri Lanka treatment!

Leave them let them continue to live in fools paradise.

Paraman:
Even obi can't say what you're saying. The 2023 presidential election was free and fair.

Yeah, free and fair with Rivers State recorded for Tinubu after Obi clearly won abi?

garfield1:
Wait,if umahi didn't win,how did he get the highest votes? Do you have any evidence? Of course no

Even before the polls,a lot of obidients didn't support edeoga,he is not a good product.some supported apga.edeoga winnibg would be like nsukka zone still ruling...

If tinubu didn't win,who won? Who should have been declared? Obi that failed woefully in the core north and sw or atiku that struggled to win in the north and failed in the south

Obi’s votes was suppressed in the north.

His votes were suppressed in the Southwest.

Imagine recording Rivers for Tinubu.

And you have the audacity to ask where Obi won.

When you people are planning in 2027, I hope you plan with the supposition that you won Rivers in 2023.

garfield1:
Which indications? I thought you said lp has a chance in Edo? APC already has won a zone,which one is pdp sure of? Have you watched the solidarity visits of Monday? Ofcourse you can never support nor APC winning in Edo or anywhere.

I am not practical yet most of my analysis comes to past unlike yours.did umahi not win his senate seat despite the rubbish you vomitted? He struggled because of obi but during the bye election,did the Prof not brutally defeat Lp? Your state is under apc and you want to come and win anambra,how dare you? How do you reason? Even enugu,you couldn't win.soludo will be reelected easily.
Even though you hate apc,better grow up and be objective at times.better get used to seeing tinubu face till 2031

I understand the position you always come from - you never care about who won but who got declared.

Tinubu did not win 2023 presidential election but got declared.

Umahi did not win his senatorial election but got declared.

Mbah did not win in Enugu but got declared.

I’m not even ready to argue these with you cuz it’s waste of time. We shall see about Anambra election.

Paraman:
No matter how horrible Tinubu perform, Tinubu will contest and win the 2027 presidential election.

Even if a dollar exchange for #10,000 on the election day... It does not matter, Tinubu a Yoruba muslim must rule till May 29 2031.

No problem, as long as he wins and every Nigerian is seeing that votes truly counted and he won.

But if he wins the way he ‘won’ in 2023, I don’t know if Nigerians will wait for “go to court”

mrvitalis:
I don't know about other people if I see a candidate worthy of my vote

if the inec officials refuse to upload my polling unit results

They would be beaten like thiefs, in fact we must see our results in IREV before they leave

The INEC official is either uploading the results or going to treat injuries that the bribe won't pay

Well, they INEC official will only be treating injuries if s/he makes it out whole.

Nigerians are gonna get ready for these vultures in 2027

drlateef:
I know this is the mindset of zombediots. The alternative you are calling for is civil war. And you will get your wotowoto. Obi and Atiku were given plenty of opportunity to provide their figures which makes them think they won. They were not able to do so. You think your party members are sizeable in number to overwhelm us?

Nobody is going to call for Civil War.

And it’s not a threat but a dare.

Tell Tinubu to organize an election where the IREV will be shutdown again.

Tell them to organize an election where a girl in the bathroom will be uploaded as a result.

Tell them to organize an election where numbers will be tipexed and canceled like where nursery school children wrote something.

Tell them to try it and know if Nigerians will wait for court.

If you like, turn Abuja to Dubai, whenever you hold election, they will still vote Peter Obi.

Ndi ala😏

gidgiddy:
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.

garfield1:
No,we will see after we win edo.you cannot win Edo and you are looking at anambra,big dreamer.have you booted out umahi?
2027 is already over.even if tinubu is to lose,it will not be to pandora

Every indication points to Edo going to PDP. But you can dream on if you want.

Meanwhile, what brings Umahi into this conversation?

Umahi is a nobody at the home front right now. He was defeated before Nwifuru was sworn in. Or did you not see he couldn’t even succeed in getting his brother to succeed him in the senate?

My problem with you is that you are never practical

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?

garfield1:
I know your anti APC but unfortunately APC will most times prevail leaving your hateful heart more bitter

See you in 2027

First, we will start with booting out the letter writer in Anambra next year.

Rig him in if you can

Kukutente23:
When did you become PDP/YPP?

I am in any party against APC.

In fact, if tomorrow I see any part of APC against APC, I will support them

garfield1:
Lol,I am happy that pdp started and you are here celebrating.apc will surely do same and I will be here as usual to remind you..
But are you in lp or pdp? Shamelessness is deep

Nothing una wan do wey una never do.

Nigerians are waiting for your dirty games.

You think you will ever repeat what you did in 2023 and ask us to “Go To Court” and this country will stand? Let’s watch.

Meanwhile, I’m for any party against APC.

teebillz:
And if their seats are declared vacant because of their defection, a new election is conducted to fill in the seats with the original law makers that the people voted in the first place. It is that simple.

You understand the strategy 👍

garfield1:
Pdp is a very stupid party.anyways,let them keep bringing this type of monkey post tactics,APC are better at it.never will they smell aso rock again

Don’t cry on PDP, the speaker is YPP.

By the way, we have sworn in those who have accepted to defect after taking in oath of office.

If they keep their word and defect, that would bring about 17 lawmakers on the side of the governor.

We can then swear in the remaining 7 irritants (if we want) let them come and become noisemakers that will never achieve nothing.

You people think you know politics and that anything goes in your book?

Hold our beer 🍺, let’s play!

See how they used debt and rendered Adeleke incapable of doing any reasonable thing in Osun.

By the time debt is deducted, the poor man will have nothing left for infrastructure except for salaries.

After you will see idiots asking what Adeleke is doing in Osun.

Ikaeniyan0:
You're wailing as if you have visit every part of Nigeria.

Why should there be scarcity in any part of Nigeria?

Did your urine dispenser not promise that with subsidy gone, fuel scarcity will be a thing of the past?

Now, fuel is expensive and still not available.

Rolings:
Damage control and you know it.

Why is Obi trying to Islamize himself ? After the failed Christian take back your country misadventures

Yeye
Una think say Politics na by social media noise

Politics is not social media noise but your lord and saviour had to buy INEC to turn off IREV and conjure numbers for him?

Everyone knows Obi won the election.

Tinubu knows, his ministers know, you know, your village people know.

Living in denial does not change this fact.

We dey wait for una in 2027

Sit at home?

Are they IPOBs?🤓

“I told my pilot to block the taxiway”🤣🤣🤣

You want to frustrate an Igbo man?

Na you go frustrate.

Imagine the wickedness

Zulu11zulu:
he will soon change again when they give him what he want.

Lol! You are right.

He’s that flippant
