Honestly, it's so glaring that they are using every means to tarnish this man's image.

Claiming Osinbajo was head of economic team for 7 years is nothing but lies. After the 2018 experience of Osinbajo being the acting president and the sack of Buhari's relative plus many reformation under him, they were not comfortable anymore with the positive image of Osinbajo in every part of Nigeria. We all felt a big relief until Buhari returned to return us back to the usual hardship. The Cable failed to mention that in 2019, the President set up a Presidential Economic Advisory Council with Prof. Doyin Salami being the chairman. The Council was to report directly to the president while Osinbajo and his team were stopped completely. It is this same Prof. Doyin Salami that has become the Economic Adviser to the president this year, an upgrade from being the chairman.

The Cable just chose to destroy everything they built all this while just for whatever reason or purpose this report was for.
Why did Buhari set up PEAC? If Osinbajo was doing well, I don't think it would have been setup. Both Buhari and Osinbajo failed. Tinubu is no better

This is an old constitution, it has been amended, in the last convention, it was done before the commencement of the executive election, learn and learn, dont be arrogant?!
That’s the new constitution; accept the reality of a primary election and stop deceiving yourself that one person will be imposed as a consensus candidate.

Btw, are you not the one arguing on another thread yesterday that Osinbajo has all the delegates from Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo, Ogun, Kano, Bornu and all none APC states. So, why are you now scared of primary election?

I am not against any primary, i even opened a thread on this, I know there will be a primary most likely indirect primary. Attention! I never mentioned all the names of the states osinbajo will win,I only argued ogun and oyo, others will be surprise I will not mention now for a reason , but I can assure you, he has 10 decided govs and 5 swing govs on his side.

The best alternative to this duo remains Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.He is eminently qualified and prepared to lead this nation in this time
We pray that come May 31 APC delegates will overwhelming elect him to fly APC flag in the general elections
He will consolidate on PMBs strengths and strengthen the weak areas of the present administration
Amechi whaaaaaat?!
With zero entrepreneural skills!
Zero income generation foresight!
All rail has not been able to generate their income
Couldn't call on Bonny way, chisco, Ekeson, ABC transport to buy and manage the coaches for effeciency?
No crisis management skills?
Tell me the essence of transport University in Daura forest!
All Amaechi do is borrow money from China, no wonder an article recently claiming the Chinese are backing him!

Amechi that cannot unify Cross river APC where they speak the same language, will unify Nigeria?

Amechi is a No! No!

how people thinks that APC candidate has the monopoly of winning the president of this country is demeaning, in fact, no sane person should even considering voting APC not to talk of the present crop of people responsible for this present situations in our dear country. APC is going nowhere and God Almighty will see to that....
Don't get is mixed up?
The choice of candidate matter.

An Osinbajo /Zulum is a presidential winning combo
Re: Osinbajo's Problematic Ambition - The Cable by West1side: 12:27pm On Apr 19, 2022
That is a great idea Amechi will make a great candidate.

Gozac:
Amaechi is the incoming president of Nigeria.
Everything is working out for good for his emergence by May 31.
He is the anointed of God to lead Nigeria out of the numerous challenges facing us today

You'll know that he hasn't locked up anything.

But then, in politics, people state what they wish as fact.
You have someone who obviously the Governors whose State have large number of delegates in his corner and you doubt his potency to nick it? Issokay o. grin Me I don't deceive myself, I look at things with an open mind, hence, my submission. I am team Osinbajo, but I leave my sentiments aside when it comes to the reality. I really wish the reverse is the case, I really do wish

Maobichek:
You are correct but show me a governor or president in Nigeria that didn't choose his successor? Obj brought Musa Ya dua, BAT brought Fashola, kwankwaso brought the current kano state governor.

PMB must accept and recommend anyone who will succeed him, bookmark this comment ok. Many factors shows that anyone that will be APC flagbearer come next year must be anointed by PMB. This is Nigeria ok.
Yeah, didn't read through my points? I am not saying Buhari can't do it, but it will be difficult, and probably break the party. Plus Buhari doesn't know how to negotiate these things, he always wants to use force without caring whose ox is gored. But the leaders you mentioned are more diplomatic...they use carrot and stick to make people fall in line. Buhari no send person papa.

For those who imposed without diplomacy, most often than not, their candidates fall short at the main election. Amosun is a typical example in 2019.

humberjade:
I will always choose Osinbajo over Tinubu any day, anytime, but that doesn't mean the truth shouldn't be said. Without a firm endorsement from Buhari, there is no way Osinbajo can win the APC primaries. Out of the top people vying for the APC Presidential ticket, he's the only one with the weakest political base.

Tinubu seem to have locked down most of the delegates...unfortunately too, Tinubu can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Presidency financially to buy the delegates. Except the Presidency somehow successfully imposes a concensus candidate, Tinubu will be the party's flag bearer come 2023.

And going the concensus way means a guaranteed implosion.
The president cannot impose a concensus candidate on the party , there's no provision for that in the APC constitution. Recosider Buhari's frustration and vexation in his attempt to force a concensus candidate for the party's chaimanship.He had to allow the views and candidates of other stakeholders to prevail. Hence, all elected officers in the Southwest are from Tinubu's camp, and ditto for the state governors and other strong party stakeholders in the other regions. And concesus agreement cannot be done secretly.All contenders must submit a letter of agreement to the party before the concensus can stand. If one out of one million contenders disagrees, they must all resort to direct or indirect primaries. The same reason why Tinubu is going up and down the country making consultation while other candidates are waiting for Buhari's patronage and direction.Which cannot work, because Buhari cannot openly declare a particular candidate his choice as that will definely bring down the party.As Buhari cannot go to every ward and vote his choice to victory. At the fullness of all things, he would eventually whoever wins as his candidate.

Re: Osinbajo's Problematic Ambition - The Cable by josite: 2:28pm On Apr 19, 2022
hr will first come out with the job description before hunting for the right man

Nigeria is decaying on many fronts and needs firstly someone with courage and a revolutionary mindset.

tinubu will only continue with his old ways of unbridled wealth acquisition and certainly not a person to lead us out into a new path morally and economically .

osinbajo is the usual Nigerian academic,they have all the theories like pat utomi and the likes and like pat utomi ,bank phb will still still die and the Volkswagen will still die despite the book brilliance of utomi.'

osinbajo is deficient in courage and only comes out because he sees the possibility of him being a consensus candidate .the hard work needed to be done to be popular and be generally acceptable to all is something he will not want do and it is tinubu that must get the blame for this mindset of the osinbajos that always want the the political benefit and without having any of the burdens.

truth be told osinbajo is not popular in remo and i being a remo man should know. Let him be asked what he has done for his remo community ?

a leader, a charismatic leader should have followership and if the truth is told osinbajo is a commander without troops and just like ajibade was busy parading his elite/academic credentials while akpata was connecting with the lawyers ,osinbajo has spent too much time and efforts parading prizes won at schools than prizes won as the vice president of Nigeria'

has he fared well defending Christian interests in the last 7 years, the answer is no

where exactly has osinbajo deployed his so called brilliance to solve any of the problems confronting Nigeria.


let us be fair, let us at least for now prevents tinubu,osibanjo and apc and pdp from leading a Nigeria in trouble.

The answer in the same comment you mentioned.

Go back to what Osinbajo did in 2018 while he was the acting president and all the positive changes that happened. Then, also ask what happened afterwards especially in Aso Rock with Buhari and his coplotters after decovering that Osinbajo few months in power outshone the years Buhari had been in power.

Get facts right and you will understand the politics involved

The hooligan is also a thief. No politician is 100% clean. Show me one that’s clean. But Tinubu stands out. His record of success in Lagos is far beyond any other politician.

What Success that is far beyond any other politician? Is it how he is solely in charge of Lagos or how he created a finance company to be in charge of revenue of the State?

In what you have mentioned, he has created wealth for Lagos. Nobody can take that from him. He grew the IGR by more than 100% . He made sure Lagos survived when Obasanjo refused to release federal revenue. No previous governor has ever done that. He made Lagos self sufficient for the first time in Nigeria. No Governor has matched that.
