Simple: Bola Ahmed Tinubu called Muhammadu Buhari's bluff.
The same way southern politicians called the bluff over RUGA.
But Buhari and group have Plan B: vote for Atiku;
the same type of Plan B in pumping Fulani Okada riders to the South when southern politicians rejected RUGA.

See, in all of this,the Tinubu camp should be grateful buhari did not interfere. We should not present it like Tinubu outsmarted buhari. I think the president had a last minute change of heart and let things play out. Stop getting all cocky!

Hmm

Buhari has shown time and time again that he is not in charge. He had a preferred candidates, just that he could get enough support to bring it to pass. If Tinubu did not speak up, they would have swallowed him up. I really miss Obansajo.

Interesting

gracealonev:
Hmmn.

That is why we don't vote.
No one to vote for and we have seen that in 23 years of so called democracy and after 6 general elections the country is down the drain.
What is the point.
Restructure Nigeria first and all other things shall be added...

Fellow Nigerians, forget about APC and let me present to you the weaponized vessel of honour for your deliverance

Crazy lots doing everything possible to cause problem between the pillars of the party.

Evil party with their evil Muslim Muslim ticket. May does who wants Muslim Muslim ticket die a sudden death including the flag bearer

Vinnie2000

Too many political assumptions.
The only reason they wanted to stop Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is their fear that he is the only one who can defeat Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and stop them from holding on to power at the centre.
What northern Nigeria fears most is to lose the power of the Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
But what have they achieved with all the Heads of State they have produced?
Northern Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world.
Majority of them are among the poorest people on earth.
Saudi Arabian Muslims don't like the Muslims of northern Nigeria. They say majority of them are not better than dogs, because they don't have toilets.
They eat with flies in their foods.
Majority of their girls and women don't use sanitary pads and until recently don't even wear any underwear and hardly bathe every day. And they cannot speak Arabic as majority of Christians in Southern Nigeria speak English.
They are annoyingly underdeveloped. So, they are ruled by herd mentality like their cattle, goats and sheep.

That the truth. Spot on

A Man Who Stands For Nothing, Will Fall For Everything, I Doubt if Buhari is Even Still Aware That He is Still The President of Nigeria

There are many thoughts racing through my mind about this intriguing scenario, first it was the speech of the President which talked about "support" and "reciprocity", we know this was written for and handed over to the President as soon as he came back from his journey, perhaps by the so called cabals, this is what they wanted to do.

Could the outburst by Asiwaju be the reason everyone thought twice about consensus, but Adamu still wanted to carry out the agenda but was shut down by the Asiwaju foot soldiers. I believe a lot happened behind the scenes in those meetings to make sure the primary was held as I believe the voice of reasons prevailed, that denying Asiwaju his ambition would send the APC into political oblivion.

Whatever it's they still plan to do, which I believe they'd still do against Asiwaju, would be from now till next year, but they just had to succumb to the wish of d Jagaban himself, at least for now. I am very certain that the cabals would strike, how/when they'd strike, we shall live to see it. Game on! Very interesting episodes of APC season film �

Buhari may have...
But he's not a smart person. Tinubu played a vital role for him to become president

This is like an exam malpracticein Nigeria... some will use 'expo' enter exam hall without studying, yet fail or manage to get the 50%.
Another will prepare an 'extensive expo', and also study by himself... when result comes out, he will top the class

PS:
This is in no way supporting exam malpractice which has rendered some Nigerian students redundant and lazy towards their academic pursuits

Tinubu and Co would have label him a trator if it did not favour tinubu it is good buhari stay neutral!

Bad leadership

True but he lacks the required weight, strength, stamina, energy, people and lastly, the enemy of an Igboman is himself if not his fellow Nyemiri.

bluefilm:
All these calculations and speculations will come to nothing because the right man for the job is Peter Obi.

Golan007:

Like Peter Obi.

If you like drop his nude pix.

We will follow Peter Obi till he becomes the President of Nigeria insha allah

Atiku in pdp changed the calculation.
Buhari picked tinubu after discussion with the party.
Tinubu is buharis choice.

I now understand better any of those contested could also be the candidate.
Politics is game.

Golan007:
There was no secret candidate.

Perfect.

If Tinubu had lost the primaries you would have pushed ahead with your false narrative.

There were plans for a secret candidate and buhari wanted one bt the governors kicked against it especially those backing southwest president and tinubu.

Buhari asked them to allow him pick his successor. He did through the chairman bt the governors resisted it probably cos ot was a northerner which was against their earlier agreement. Had it been buhari picked Osinbajo or a southerner Tinubu might not have emerged.

They actually wanted Jonathan, Amaechi or a Northerner.

God1000:
This is a complete distortion of what happened, stop spreading falsehood and misinformation

I have stated what exactly happened.

Golan007:

You guys invented a story you couldnt retract.

If Tinubu had lost the primaries you would have pushed ahead with your false narrative.

I think the secret candidate they are referring to is Lawan.
