You're shifting the goalpost

Shifting Goalpost?…..because I care more about what my President does or does not do….as opposed to what duplicitous behaviour some human being called Lukman may be guilty of? My interest is in the President because he is the one that carries the mantle to represent some 200million people in this country. It is the example he lays that politicians are likely to follow many years hence….not that of someone called Lukman!

Anything short of Tinubu emergence as APC presidential candidate is a doom for the party. Buhari will lose even in his native Katsina state.
Buhar lossing in Kastina? This weed strong o!
Tinubu will only emerged as SDP candidate.

buhari is trying to protect aso rock from being hijacked by a known thief just as he hijacked major assets of lagos state. grin

we are even talking about buhari making choice of candidate, how about tinubu openly and arrogantly deciding who becomes governor of lagos state .

he disgraced ambode and chased out other candidates contesting primaries with sanwolu the present lagos state government yet no one is coughing.

Some people are just too criminal in nature to hold sensitive positions, they can even convert the central bank of Nigeria to their personal property.
Hater! Frustrated! It is hard to kick against the hard brick. Forward ever for bat. The haters will be disgraced!

[/quote][quote author=OyeofIkoTuN post=113414543]First I wanna to correct that impression that "dominant people see it as an insult to the office of the presidency not president"..

I like to say we nairalanders were shocked just like the presidency.. We don't see it as an insult,we were just shocked.

Secondly we both know that are no channels to reach him...Ear infection and boss is hardly around.. Envision an adventurer for starters

Thirdly I will advise you stop drinking panadol for another man's headache not just another man,oga boss!..His tenure will come and go.

Lastly not only did the presidency not read past the first paragraph,we know letter did not pass second gate at the Aso villa..

Thanks for letting us know you are a senior member of the ndi oshi cartel....More grease to your stealing elbows

When you want to make mockery of someone's input in any national discourse, don't assume that you are smarter than everyone. Less I forget, you did not reply on behalf of nairalanders. More so, could it be that you didn't discern that you are guilty of what you are accusing the author of doing? Certainly, different cartels exist nawadays in Nigeria and you are certainly a member of one.Bw that as it is, you are taking Panadol for another's headache. Let me know if you still wish to know why your response fail short of being a smart reply through pun

You did not wail when Dieziani was stealing our treasury without any hindrance. You did not cry a river when your god father Atiku was stealing everything in sight as Vice President. Did you not read Obasanjo’s book? Go and read it first.

Two wrongs can never make a right. If the governors are doing it doesn't mean it's right.
Buhari is the president of Nigeria. He should lead by example . He should not be following what the governors are doing.
Besides the governors do not wait for the last minute before expressing their intentions. It saves a lot of stress and it removes controversy
The presidency cannot be compared to any office in Nigeria
If Buhari had performed very well during his tenure it would have given a lot of clout and confidence to announce his successor early.
But right now ,honestly nobody trust his decisions anymore.
That's why people have the confidence to come out to contest

For the records Tinubu did not impose anyone on Ambode. Their was a primary election and Ambode lost. So pls correct statement

Point is: President Buhari cannot choose his successor…..the Constitution does not say he can do so.
Therefore, We the people will not accord him that privilege. His successor will be chosen through Indirect Primaries followed by free and fair national election. Simplicita!

The President does not have any “right” to seek to choose a successor….in a democracy, that right belongs to the people and they must be allowed to exercise it. Goons like you Suleiman Musa should also desist from turning Buhari into a demigod.
What Nonsense! shocked shocked
How about Tinubu choosing the governors of Lagos since 2007? If anybody should complain about concensus, it should not be Tinubu.

And BUHARI is one of Tinubu's numerous shitty decisions.

Hence why nobody even trusts the Tinubu. Not even Buhari

Does he not allow Lagosians to vote for his preferred candidate or reject him on every occasion? If the others are truly popular in Lagos, they will beat Tinubu’s candidate hands down. That’s all Tinubu is asking for……let there be a contest at the Primaries…..he’s sure he can beat Buhari’s candidate! That’s democracy!!

There's no prize for telling.

Tinubu is not a democratic person himself. He can't be choosing who governs SW states year after year, and expect buhari not to...

Exactly what we have been saying for years.
Lagos is not a poster child for the Nigeria Democratic project and here lies the problem.
They have taught other 'wannabees' that it is possible for an individual to serially select who governs and it will be perfectly okay.
And you know bad things are ever so easy to replicate to a worse degree.
In summary it is a story of a kettle and pot.

Will Nigerians not also vote to decide who becomes the President? There is nothing like democratic about Tinubu, so he is not in any position to reject Buhari’s concensus candidate.

What do you have Delegates for at Indirect Primaries? Is it democratic for Buhari to make the Delegates redundant and usurp their powers? Yes, the generality of the citizens will vote at the general election but the Delegates who are Representatives of the people at grassroots level must also be allowed to vote at the Primaries. Simplicita!

There is nothing to be said about Lagos politics that is not audible to the deaf and visible to the blind.
Heck, you folks boast about it all day and night for two decades now, about how a single individual decides elections.
Is that democracy.?
When you sing that a man, a single man has the power to instal and remove leaders in deciding elections, you give little thought that it flies in the face of the tenets of a popular franchise.

That is empire building. Who does that in a democracy.
Where it works properly you do your term and walk away hoping to leave the office, state and its institutions in a better shape than you met it, period. That is success in a democracy. You don't use the instrument of state while in office to create a back door to perpetuate yourself in power. It is a crime in other climes.

Now that it is practiced by others you folks find it hard to swallow. So wierd.
You are either a democrat or not. You either practice democracy or not. You cannot pick and choose when and how to peddle influence to suit your wants. It is a moral question every politician out there has to answer and a serious question the people of this country have to rise to resist.

Enough is enough. We want to vote for who we want, not who is foisted on us. If not elections is futile and your PVC is no better than a motel door keycard.
