Throwback:
All I could deduce from the writeup is an Igbo begging Tinubu on behalf of his fellow Igbo.

The same Igbos who vowed to continue voting for the North if any Yoruba emerges from the APC primaries.

The same Igbos who fear a Yoruba opponent, so they insisted that PDP must zone its presidential ticket to the North.

The same Igbos who said Tinubu is claiming he made Buhari President, so he should go ahead and make himself President. Which Tinubu has done.

Igboman, calm your nerves. No one is after you besides your own shadow hating back on you.

I'm not in the mood to respond to emotional rants from kids this morning. Try again next time.

seunmsg:
They are now begging Tinubu to handover to Peter Obi. This handover you’re talking about, is according to which law?

There is absolutely no storm that you guys can bring that we won’t match you. We’ve won this already. Bola Tinubu will be president of Nigeria from 2023 to 2027 and Peter Obi will never become the president of Nigeria. This is a promise we are going to keep.

And please, don’t ever talk about a southern interest again, it doesn’t exist. We only care about Nigeria’s interest and nothing else. Btw, northerners are our brothers. They are trustworthy, honorable and reliable. We will ensure power goes back to the north after Bola Tinubu’s presidency.

I understand where you're coming from. Without gainsaying, you're one of those hangers-on, leeching off the the man, Tinubu. Your livelihood depends on his presidency, To that extent, you do not care howsoever he arrives the final bus-stop, even is he gets there a tenth of the man he was, provided you bread is buttered.

This is the crux of the problem, people like you who sees every genuine advice to him as an 'US vs Them' thing. At tactics you're using to drive the sickly old man, and his innocent family to their doom. If Tinubu were to be your father, not your ATM, would you continue to push him towards, infamy, destruction, and damnation, in the name of 'emilokan'?

You say you care about Nigerians, so why are Nigerians not celebrating his electoral victory? Even Yoruba are not cheering him. just some bunch of paid urchins, responding to puppeteers, such as you.

Well, like I said, I wish Tinubu good fortunes in the battle ahead, but more than that, I hope he retreats into the comfort of his home, warm embrace of his wife, and smile of his good son. A warrior does not fight every battle; discretion has always been a better part of valour.


Peter Obi is coming; Nigerians want justice!

pandax:


After reading your perfectly crafted piece, I can feel only but pity for the President-Elect. I heard he is actually a good man, talent hunter and has good disposition on issues; However, i feel that NW set him up for failure and Obi doesn't take prisoners in court

Tinubu will surely fight till the end, unfortunately, it can only end in disgrace, but who will tell the pope

He is a good man no doubt. But he's past his due date.

If he chooses to fight on, it's a course of action, and no one can deny him the right to fight. And I wish him good fortune in the battle ahead, but I don't think Obi will be generous.

Robert Greene need to rewrite the 48 Laws of Power and add LAW 49:

LAW 49: Never steal from a man who does not give shishi.

And use this a case study.

Asgard13:


You over make sense .. just that his advisers know this truth .. only those on the street don’t know .. they’re all hype .. but wil you blame them?

Tinubu is on petals already.. and ride he must..


All I know is that he will return that certificate.. anyhow he wan do am..

Illegality can never stand .. no matter the propaganda he chose to unleash.

Those people like Onanuga, FFK that are pushing him, are only looking out for themselves. FFK, Keyamo are mercenaries (they are for highest bidders), Onanuga is a glorified bigot. In real life, Tinubu is neither of these. He's more of a Seyi kind of person. How the heck did allow people to be this close to him and run rings around him? Controlling the narratives? Egging him on, akin, that what we saw with Buhari.

Unfortunately, and unlike Buhari, he has no cult followership and no real strongmen, just a group of loquacious fellows around him.

Asgard13:
Succinctly written..

Well, I have said my own. Free consultation. And I am not even a SAN.

I asked my AI friend to chip in some words for you, Tinubu. This is what it said:

My dear friend,

I come to you with a heavy heart, for I fear that the path you are currently on may lead to unintended consequences. Though your intentions may be pure and well-meaning, the road you are travelling down is fraught with peril, and may bring about outcomes that are less than desirable.

I implore you to take a moment to reflect on your choices and consider the potential consequences that may arise. It is not too late to change course and choose a different path, one that is safe and sound, and that will lead to a brighter future for all involved.

I understand that it may be difficult to let go of the current path, and that pride and ego may be at play, but please know that it takes great strength and courage to admit when a course of action is not working out as planned. By being willing to change course, you are showing true wisdom and maturity.

So I urge you to give up the current path and choose a new one, for the sake of peace and harmony, and for the benefit of all involved. Let us work together to create a future that is bright and full of beauty.

With love and respect,

ChatGPT

Dear Tinubu,

A storm is coming; a big storm. Bigger than what many of your advisers and hangers-on care to let you in on. This court case portend a clear and present danger to you. It threatens to expose all that you have 'worked' tirelessly over the years to bury. Dead bodies of yester years, injuries that've healed, and scars that have been covered. These are all game in the storm to come.

Is it worth it that in your old age, you want to drag yourselves through this storm, this mud, and be remembered for things that are less than stellar? Is it worth it for your wife (cos her name was conspicuously mentioned in the drugs case). Let's say both of you are hardened and would not care for anything beyond your 'emilokan' ambition, what about poor Seyi? He seems a likeable kid, full of passion and energy, one for the future. Would you like to damage him too, in this brickbat of litigation that is coming.

Even before the first word of this case is uttered in the formal court, the court of public opinion (read public opprobrium) will first scrutinize every letter of the drug crime judgement and vent their frustration and anger on you, and eventually your family. Is it worth it? For you, for Remi, for Seyi? They call you strategist, think! Cos this tactical manoeuvre, will come with strategic blunder. You still have your Lagos, for now!

Let's assume, you don't care about how this impact you and your family. What about your ethnic group? Your countrymen, your nation? How will these rub off on them? And then, there is a small matter of the international community. How would they perceive you, win or lose? How will they see the country Nigeria? What message are we passing to them about ourselves as a people, after the potentially damaging court case? They are already brandishing Visa bans left and right. What next after the court cases?

Sun Tzu said, the best war is the one that was never fought. An anonymous philosopher once said, "No matter how far you have walked on the wrong road, turn back!" Let me advise you in your Yoruba proverb -"IGI GOGORO MA GUN MI LOJU, OKEERE LA TI N WO" (Literal Translation: For a sharp twig not to pluck out your eyes, you must yell out from a far distance. You have to be proactive to avoid errors /disasters /tragedy. )

Once you enter the ring with Peter Obi, in the name of election tribunal, win or lose, YOU lose! Remi loses, Seyi loses. Save them by saving yourself. Do not besiege a walled city - Sun Tzu.

Give it up, all of it, for Peter Obi, for the South. Win, by losing!

Sincerely,

Indefatigable

We urge any Party or individual who wish to challenge the outcome of this process to do so peacefully and through the appropriate legal channels. We will be observing the course of legal challenges made

This statement will give some people cardiac arrest

...observing the course of legal challenges made

The bold looks pregnant to me.

You're been watched ... you judges ... you lawyers ... you SANs

Looks like the gala sellers can read and comprehend better than you. The petition is 99 pages, how many pages have you read before blabbing off?

TonyElumelu:
I decided to join this forum on my 60th birthday today because i wanted a place where I could be more close to the people of Nigeria, a place where I could liaise directly with Nigerians and get to understand them and their problems better. An employee of mine recommended this forum to me a week ago emphasising that there is no other place more Nigerian than this. And I must confess, I am really impressed so far. I would do my best to communicate seamlessly with everyone. Please wish me a happy 60th birthday

This is the pit; the abyss.

No place for mere mortal. Proceed at the risk of your mental health.

Truth.


That's the truth. We shouted our voice hoarse here saying INEC has no business announcing someone without the requisite lawful votes, including 25% in FCT as winner of the election. But it seems Mahmood just wanted to do the bidding of his paymasters. He, in the dead of the night, surreptitiously announced Tinubu winner, even when the first result is yet to trickle into the vaunted IReV servers, contrary to his countless assurance.

Then the clown of a chairman, had the audacity to shout 'Go to court' as if they have already bought the judges with their change.

SReporters:
I have just carefully gone through this Peter Obi’s election petition and I have come to the conclusion that Peter Obi is the most dangerous man in this country called Nigeria.

Not only is he challenging the fraud for an election, but he is putting the entire country on trial for allowing a drug baron qualify to run and thereafter proceeded to rig the election.

Tinubu has for the longest refused to address his drug past and because of that, he refused to attend unscripted interviews and INEC and the Nigerian courts refused to disqualify him even when it was obvious that he has a drug past. The storm is now gathering!

Fast forward to “GO TO COURT”.. Peter Obi has now placed Tinubu’s drug records front and center of his petition by front loading the certified true copies of his drug related asset forfeiture as required by the evidence act and stating that Tinubu ought not to have been qualified to stand for the election.

The twist is that since PO is not the author of the said document, someone from the US justice department must be subpoenaed to be led in evidence to present the document in court and I am 1000% sure that the US department of Justice has assured PO’s lawyers that with a subpoena, they will fly in DEA special Agent Moss to come authenticate the Tinubu’s drug related forfeiture court documents.

Perhaps Nigeria is about to be jolted on an international level embarrassment that will be beamed worldwide. This was avoidable if Nigerian courts had done the needful by disqualifying Tinubu!

APC members of this forum should get ready to watch the DEA special agent Moss who arrested Tinubu testify in the tribunal about Tinubu’s drug past and we will assess how the criminal minded Nigerian judges will surmount that embarrassment and still rule that Tinubu is qualified.

Brace up for impact folks!

You missed another important aspect of this case - he's also putting the United State criminal justice system on the spot. Everyone will answer their father's name.

As for those who have no father (or/and mother), well, na them sabi.

famology:



Has obi faced tinubu in court before? Small time now una go start insult judges after una lose again. Mtcheeeew.....

That's why we have a titanic battle in our hands. One that should be very exciting and bruising.

Jackson105:


Just shut up, misleading people with nonsense information, run-off? have you seen a presidential election re-run before?

Looks like you're an ignoramus.

famology:
Una wan win presidential election una lule

Una wan take Lagos una lule again

Una go still lule for court again

We're used to you guys by now. Nzogbu zogbu

Tinubu has never faced Obi in court before. Obi is a legend is winning court cases.

Afonja2:
In other words, even if you win all the 36 states of the federation and you did not score 25% in FCT, you can not become a president?

You think the drafters of Nigeria constitution are so daft? What is the big deal about FCT that unless you win 25% of it's total votes, you can not be president?

Agbakoba and his ilks know they are just being mischievous. Senior Advocates of Nonsense

I just pose your first question to ChatGPT (verbatim, without context), below is the AI's take. Maybe you will have to go and argue with ChatGPT.

Ballmer:
But Tinubu winning by 90% in the West is an aberration ba ? Who do you senseless Igbo this kind rubbish

We are in the End Game now. So let everyone calm down.

Formularcr7:
I don't think 25% in FCT will be a must because in future if we have 5 strong candidates, definitely none of them might have 25%. The 25% is only visible when we have few contestants

That's why there is provision for run-off election. Mahmood, the INEC Chairman, is perhaps trying to pocket the funds meant for run-off. That's why he hastily declared a winner and passed the bulk to the court.

abdul23:
So we in the FCT have this so much power.
On a second note it's ridiculous. How can Abuja be a compulsory requirement. It's too absurd. No where in the world that happens.

Well, it's something that could be subjected to constitutional review. Maybe that status should be given to Onitsha or Owerri. We have no problem over there with such.

NaijaCowFarm:
Does Nigeria constitution regard FCT as a state? No!

2. A candidate for an election to the office of President shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being more than two candidates for the election
a. he has the highest number of votes cast at the election; and
b. he has not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and
the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Let's even for the sake of argument say that the constitution recognise FCT as a state , the AND on it's own is a conjunction. It says whatever else you might have achieved in the election you need to obtain 25% vote cast in FCT. Whether FCT is a state or Capital Territory is, for the purpose of the conjunctive clause, immaterial.

I see no way out for Tinubu in the case, unless there is a miscarriage of justice.

flokii:
Peter Obi is playing with a law suit and lengthy jail term.. the man he is falsely accusing of drug related offenses visits the US and no arrest whatsoever has been made in that regard.

Obi on the other hand has refused to explain to the world how he became a dollar billionaire considering his average background.

I hope this man won't end up in jail or six feet below with the kind of politics he is playing.

Go to court!
