Remember, Jonathan was a man of integrity, man who saw his political ambition not not worth the bloodshed of Citizens of Nigeria. That was the only reason why he lost election.
The question is, will the current president thread the same path? His presidential ambition not worth the killing of any citizen?

jonathan did because he clearly loss and even all inec staff and nigerians were tired of jonathan-madweke lead administration. it was very clear PDP has no direction or pattern of governance at that time. grassroot was against him but social media noise was encouraging him,

but for jagaban, the masses are with him at grassroot. only social media are in pains and the elections will be conducted at the grassroot.

Ofunaofu:
Not just incompetent, but the most wicked, draconian, and wasteful regime this country has ever seen

MR SPV with customs background is talking. why can't their administration then build the kind of future nigerians desired. selling all government assets to your friends is what u called being smart? Nigeria no need atiku.

kokoA:
Making laws has never been our problem, will they implement it?

Bold Implementation of policies is what Asiwaju is known for. When the governors kicked, he knows they don't have the knowledge of the bills benefits and stood his feet, same for subsidy on fuel and dollar . If we're to be previous president, they will reverse simply because they don't even know what they are doing, otherwise why can't you stand for what's good.

Tolumiide:
He's working for his slot as the APC VP candidate in 2031 election. My opinion

He is qualified for VP slot but whether he will not be known( outshine) more than his president then is the question. But for Nigerians, Na working VP Better than spare tyres

AustineE1:
THOMPSON OLUDARE SUNDAY as managing director of NDIC,this tribal president is actually irredeemable. If is not YORUBA,then you are not qualified,others can only be considered to deputize or head some irrelevant organizations.
Never in the history of this country have such an ethnic chauvinist govern the country,not even Buhari the Fulani supremacist was this ruthless.

Tinubu was clear on the day he was collecting his certificate of return that he will form the government of national competence. The question is are these people qualified?. Moreso, people make recommendations when searching for people to hold some strategic Post. This guy recommendations will likely come from CBN governor or Some other experienced personality in Banking industry.

Look at how hurriedly emefele was appointed just to push Sanusi away and the next president refused to searched and look for a better person.

Since 1999, I have never imagined the tribe of people that were appointed but Thier performance is my concern, why people always worry I don't know.

SadiqBabaSani:
All for their stomach,

Atiku should have himself to blame,

Same way Amaechi is reaping the thorns he sow during GEJ last term.

God have made it that non of them who conspired to usher us into this current misery will go without been punished

Lolz, if decamping to APC is for stomach what is the decamping to LP or PDP or any other party for ?? Using critical reasoning index table of the current administration.

Ddeliverer007:
The north no just rate tinubu at all.

Tinubu think he will win/rig the north like before. Hahaha
The entire north dey complain, yet yoruba ppl just dry insult them 1 by 1.
This one can’t win his local government, that one can’t win his polling unit; that one can’t win his street. lol.

2027 will teach us a lot of things sha.

Oga, are will talking about Nigeria northern states? If yes, then Tinubu has won 2027. Nigeria north doesn't vote Thier mind like south, They voted 100% based on directives given days to elections by Thier prominent or religious personalities in the mosque or public places.

Tinubu has all the who is who in the north with him and when the time comes, instructions on who to vote will be given and that's all.
If u are in doubts, pls go to the north and ask any core northern person u see who he or she voted for in the last election and even the election before the Last one. Then ask for the reason he voted those that was voted for . U will then understand.

Agbegbaorogboye:
Amaechi should not answer him
He's trying to infiltrate the opposition

Amaechi did not have anything to say, Tinubu is far ahead and can't remember if he has anyone called Amaechi was not ok with him.
Amaechi, Osinbajo are not sportsman. So both of them want to win the primary knowing too well that only one person can win. But I remember Amaechi running in stadium then challenging Tinubu to do same. But why the running didn't win elections for him?

Tinubu was right, it's the brain needed and not by running.

iwaeda:
Corruption telling us corruption is not allowed.

Hope you know that he who is corrupt knows more on how to block loopholes. Most people accusing him of being corrupt are also corrupt because it takes one to identify another.

Betgold84:
We rich in nigeria.
But how can wealth spread around?

Seriously we are rich but mismanagement. This Q1 results show this administration has pushed the State to be proactive. If tax reform Bill is finally passed them with time States can independently finance Thier budgets without FAAC or unnecessary debts. Imagine Oyo with 70+B in 3 months

datola:
Ogun state at number 20

Na war oo, meaning all the industry located in Ogun State not adding value in terms of vat?

Ikaeniyan0:
Atiku, Obi etc should forget 2027 and start working towards 2031

Even 2031 will be so difficult, Atiku at Roughly 82 with all the baggage of selling things to his friends and cronies will not win. Obi will retire after 2027 because he has said during 2023 campaign that anyone @70 should not be voted for.

LordBiden:
Good one from saudi authorities,Gumi is a security threat to any nation.

If I where president I would have my NSA chief place him under strict surveillance,his bank accounts monitored,his phone calls wiretapped.

Oga if u do that as things dey hot now, his supporters will start to bomb churches and mosque that they are fighting for GOD.

helinues:
Gumi should come online as see how Nigerians , irrespective of tribes are reacting to his deportation.

May be he can have a rethink about his own past

That deportation speaks louder. Meaning Religion extremism is not of God. Now that he didn't participate in hajj , will heaven fall?. He should simply tell the terrorist he is negotiating for that no man can fight for God and no virgin is waiting them in heaven or anywhere.

ElevationD:
His wife showed the state of his health. It must be precarious and does not require him to make such physical moves or stress himself. She was probably scared that he could collapse while dancing.

Thank God for couples who are so close and have their understanding.

While it's possible to be on health issues, I think it's more of political interpretation of the music lyrics with the current situation between him and PBAT. Aregbesola is known for always singing insulting and attacking political songs. Dancing to the lyrics shows that he is in total support of those statements. The wife knows better and didn't want him to create more problems. The one his local music band did about 5 days ago is still fresh. Aregbesola always overdo things.

Klass99:
I think it should be criminalized across Naija to curb the excesses and arrogrance of Naija men when it comes to adultery.

I say this as a single woman who has been at the receiving end of far too many advances from married men. Most of them see nothing wrong with adultery, they make all kinds of excuses and arguments, to justify why it is not wrong.

Some will even argue that it is not a sin, it is an expression of love and feelings between a man and a woman. The way we practice this religion in Naija is too much, we over do it, blah blah blah blah. This is the latest argument I heard from a 60 year old married man .

I prayed for the salvation of his soul today. A lot of them think the bible is a joke and God is joking when he lists adultery as a sin. Perhaps making it a criminal offence may help to reset or rewire their brains.

Adultery is not good. but why is it that most married women will not tell a man toasting her straight that she is married. A married woman was appreciated and you asked of her name and she said Elizabeth, is that her name? Why not Mrs So so so. Women should stop accepting other men in extra martial affairs. Or pull out of the marriage to remain a divorcee.

For Men, God created the Testosterone and it's the hormone responsible for feelings towards women, except it's too low ( sickness) men MUST experience that feelings only by seeing. If Men also are aroused only by touching and not looking, it would have been far better, but No, it's by site seeing.

Criminalising this will only put more men in trouble but can never end it because it doesn't start today. As it was in the beginning, so now and so shall it be after we all died.

papyjaypaul:
Grab it
Snatch it and
__________

🏃Don't run, complete the rhyme

Very interesting and intelligent Logical analogy from PBAT. I love the Grab it. It's applicable to all life opportunity for only those that are intelligent. PBAT first stated that in 2003 and it's really working in all aspects of life.
Opportunity don't come with label. Once missed may never come back.
Like a goal keeper that catches an unexpected short within box 18, he grabs it and run with it. Lolz

yinkus6750:
Emefiole,the worst CBN governor ever. Was stealing the country blind and yet suffered the citizen with his stupid naira change,all in the name of politics. And he once dreamt of ruling Nigeria. What do people really want in life ? Waiting for the end of his case and his sentence.

Exactly, I don't really know why people looking for the unthinkable when actually we will all die one day. So if he build 753 Mansion as CBN governor, so what will he acquired when he eventually won the presidency

The most painful part of Nigerians in our system of corruption is that they see emefele as being smart ( he no carry last) while anyone that refused to chop (embezzle) when in office or having the opportunity are seen to be fools (mumu)

Wickedlywicked:
Like I said earlier, it’s just common sense
So where would Obi’s votes go if he was vice to Atiku and if he used his infamous corny religion -war and Islamization rhetorics? Did the Igbos say they had any problem with Atiku himself? Didn’t they vote him in 2019? The only reason why Buhari won in 2019 was because Atiku was fighting a formidable APC backed rigidly by the north and the South West.
In 2023, the APC was already a terribly weak party all thanks to Buhari’s indirect but intentional attacks on the presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
From his body language, it was obvious that Buhari’s intent was to de-market Tinubu by making life miserable for the people at a time when he was naturally expected to be doing the opposite (baba no do all those usual naija politician gimmicks when election don reach😂) just because he didn’t want him to get there.
Isn’t it common sense that while Obi would win the entire SE, the Christians’ votes in the SW, North and the middle Belt, Atiku would conquer the north as expected? Isn’t this just common sense?
It’s a big pity that even up till this very moment, a whole lot of you (including Obi himself) still haven’t realized that Obi’s diversion of the South East’s traditional PDP votes as well as those from the aggrieved Christians to the LP was the main enabler and messiah that made Tinubu’s victory possible. Atiku would have easily finished him off if the PDP wasn’t a divided party because in 2023, APC was a very unpopular party that should naturally not get a single vote. This is common sense , so I perfectly understand why this is difficult for you to understand.

It looks as u said but it's not actually like that in elections and electoral strategy. Atiku is not a candidate Nigerians are looking for reason he can never be voted for even in 2027. So Tinubu then stands as a new devil with knowledge and known records of past fantastic achievements, (you may choose to follow the unsubstantiated social media arguments on him). Also, the fact that Buhari was still pepper Nigerian at that time and you want it to continue at 16 straight years for the north can never work. So it's not automatic that the votes will go to Atiku.

If you care to understand how Tinubu strategies works, he knew that it will get to that level of him and Atiku and facilitate the south south meeting in which the solid agreement on power shifting to South was Made by governors then. It was not ordinary.

raumdeuter:
Obi made it possible for Tinubu to win in 2023

If Obi didn't run, Atiku would have won

Atiku will not win because all the Christian votes will go for Tinubu and the strategy will be different.

Ddeliverer007:
This is why the coalition must never reveal their party.

Tinubu wants to be the sole contestant, cos he knows any other candidate will defeat him.

Defeat Tinubu?
Hope u are aware online and offline elections are completely different. Atiku went for ADC to make it look like APC to confused the elderly in the villages but forgot that jagaban has had alliance with this party Many times before now on only elections at national level. So SDP or ADC , Accord, etc, you will see jagaban hands there. Just watch as events holds.
I remembered some of this parties have collapsed their votes for APC many times on win win agreement.

vickthourh:
Dem go settle the matter,if money touch hands or a few call

Of course it's the payment they need, no payment then there is going to be issues.

SmartPolician:
Who has noticed that while Goodluck Jonathan made efforts to get Almajiris off the streets by building them decent schools, Tinubu hasn't even mentioned lifting these folks off the streets?

No wonder he clearly stated that he has no plans for northern Nigeria. He just needs their votes and to enjoy his turn (Emilokan)

https://www.google.com/amp/s/tribuneonlineng.com/tinubu-told-me-he-has-no-blueprint-for-north-najaatu/amp/

Have u ever been to the north? What is almajiri school built by Jonathan? Where are the schools today? Only northern elite can solve Thier problems when they determined to do so. Religion is first before any other programme accepted and supported by thier elite. North is never like south.

You can never achieve any policies that is disruptive to Thier religion

ivandragon:
Obi needs to understand that to put Nigeria on the track of 'working', the present disaster at the centre must be voted out.

So, if Obi truly has the interests of Nigerians at heart, he needs to join hands with Atiku and others in the opposition so as to present a formidable force to remove bat.

Anything less will be an exercise in futility.

People keep talking about removing PBAT but forgot that this same Atiku and obi has being in government and Thier best services then were seriously poor and non productive. Many States ows salaries for several months and strikes everywhere ASU, Medicals etc for lact of resources . Indebtedness was very high. So now , no state is owing salaries, debts are being serviced and massive projects are being executed.

So what exactly is Obi saying or his people are expecting from him if he replaces PBAT, God forbid backwardness.

For corruption, most Nigeria is corrupt either directly or indirectly or through relations abusing off office for financial or other forms of corruption.

madridguy:


Baba Kabiru and his drummer should go and rest.

I can't imagine Aregbesola in this state of affairs with Himself looking at the them massive support from Tinubu and his team to reclaimed his mandate and even wining the second term.

Aregbesola can not win elections now in Osun by his own effort. A lot of people liked him then because of his closeness to Tinubu .

Ikaeniyan0:
There's no vacancy in the APC. Tinubu will be APC sole candidate for the election.

Tinubu is a Democrat, he might agree later for them to go to primaries so as to be on record, knowing well that he will still win. Only money and efforts will be wasted

Focusmind:
If all this visit is to unseat the incumbent, then, it is exercise in futility. Everyone should resign to fate about BAT's presidency in 2027.

I wonder how people think that BAT would relinquish power easily considering his type of person and politics.

But Atiku should know that he is from north and is it a must for him to contest at every election cycle. He was forced to retirement in customs, his principal of 8 years indicated him heavily, Nigerians rejected him severally, so what exactly is his problem? So power should returned to north that has commercialise insurgency, kidnapping with believe in killing for virgins in heaven. No way.

Igirigimercenar:
There must be something about that man

I mean look at the front page of nairaland,90 % of the topic there is about obi this obi that. It's tiring

he is being corrected for wrong impressions he created daily. people are wiser than him. if he himself no talk no one will reply him, he is doing that to get continuous relevancy. dino and saraki was once like that in the news everyday, who knows or talk of obi then.
imagine obi went to donate 10M to a catholic school and he posted it the next day, for what? when many Nigerians did more than that same day and was no noise about it. recently, one obina just asked him a question about his capacity in crises management but in his same usual way shifting blame to government.

LagosOrigin:
Always talking like a drunk

You claimed that you know road but Peter Obi humiliated you in Lagos so much that it took the help of the INEC chairman to rig the election to save you shame

INEC should conduct a free and fair election and see if Peter Obi won't defeat tinubu before 2pm

Sorry sir, we know it's painful but just calm down

helinues:
That's why you guys should be advising Peter Obi to stop turning himself into a nuclear reactor.

When I first saw the news, I knew it must be fabricated report which I didn't expect Peter Obi to respond to but here we are

Obi will explain tire, but he accused PBAT of no family and academic records despite all evidence from his university and family statements. PBAT never responded because its no issue. so, why is he crying to defend himself on fidelity if not guilty?
