What I subtly predicted. People may not like this, but they are most likely looking at their next VP if that is the case.

Itsrm:


Both of them coming together would have seriously increased their chances but I understand the challenges with that part of which he has highlighted in the interview

The moment he steps down for PO, he's going to lose a lot of people who would have voted for him to another Nothern candidate. Same thing applies to Obi, If he steps down, voter apathy returns in the SE especially and generally among the youth.


The one who stands the most to gain in all of these is Tinubu

The election is going to be really close this time. I don't think the winner will win with more than a million votes.

larride:
Looking like an El Rufai VP.

izzou:


Muslim Muslim ticket no go easy to fly oh

Roland17:


Baba, honest conversation here.

If Tinubu wins the presidential election, which sector of the economy would you like to see him prioritize and address with urgency?

larride:


With El Rufai, it won't be easy. That man has courted alot of enemies for himself.

But how come you didn't see this when we had this conversation before?

larride:

Economy itself, tackle hyperinflation, stabilize our fiscal and monetary policies and revert back to a single exchange rate.

Decentralize police to tackle insecurity better while the military continue onslaught against the terrorist.

Continue the infrastructural development of Buhari.

izzou:

Roland17:


I like the idea of the economy and tackling inflation because that would have immediate effect on the lives/ pockets of average Nigerians and may also reduce some aspects of insecurity witnessed across the country. I don't expect the next president to solve all of Nigeria's problem but I would like to see some consistency in addressing whatever he prioritizes across board.

While a single exchange is great for stabilizing the naira and the economy because it is more predictable, it may not work if Nigeria has not addressed self sustaining economic factors like power generation and energy production and distribution that will keep the economy powered. We must also be able to boost our foreign reserve to sustain the single exchange rate system and that means the government will be buying the bulk of the foreign currency so they can peg the price.

Well appreciated.

I'm one of the antagonists of Muslim-Muslim ticket, but I won't lie at this point it's looking likely it's possible and there's nothing we can do about it.

Of recent I've sampled opinion of people offline both the formal and informal sector it's looking like people don't really care like that ; they just want a presidential aspirant that can win votes in Tinubu and Àtiku.....they don't give a 4ck about the vice which actually favors Tinubu's team.

larride:


izzou lemme now.

But sincerely I dont think Tinubu will pick El Rufai, i prefer between Shettima or Zulum.

If Tinubu picks any Muslim, omo, the race is Atiku's too lose.

It becomes a religious battle automatically.

I don't know why I feel this inner joy hearing this.

larride:


The SW dont really care about religion like that. It might be different in other regions.

South West wey Church full everywhere?

No single church go support that combo. And you know how Nigerians are obedient to Daddies and Mummies

You go shock to see the result sef

BlueRayDick:


I know a senior professional colleague who is a Vherubim and Seraphim church leader ( He took over the church his father founded after the latter's demise). I was surprised engaging him and he was campaiging for Tinubu. Tho he's a card carrying member of APC but still I can't but marvel that even in the face of a possible Muslim-Muslim ticket he still supports Tinubu's presidency 100%.

Imagine how that man will collobi his members to vote Tinubu using the influential position of a church leader.

You dont understand, dont worry.

Abeg, make the Muslim Muslim ticket work.

No beg I dey beg una

BlueRayDick:


I just hope whoever is going to be the president has other ideas of generating revenue other than Taxation, taxation and more taxation.

I'm saying this because I'm yet to see FG thinking about how to increase government's earnings other than imposing more tax on the people. Now we have them taxing almost everything in sight both in Lagos and at the federal Level. They tax recharge cards/phone calls, increase vat , drive PAYEE like mad and even tax traders through fees, rates and dues. Yet goverment earnings is not matching it's spendings.

Of course, If you follow Tinubu colloquium that he does on his birthday annually, he always give his advice on how things can be improved on.

There's one that Buhari was the Guest Honor of the day and Tinubu was talking about how to tackle and reduce corruption in the civil service. He practically told Buhari then that Efcc alone cannot eradicate corruption from the civil service until a credit system is made paramount instead of the cash and carry system we currently operate. A gave an example, A civil servant that has been working for say 6-10yrs, how does this civil servant buy a car or get a home? If he wants either, he will be required to pay cash for it, if his salary cannot fund it, he looks for way to game the system to get the cash to buy the car/house. But a credit system where civil servant can use their job/salary to get these things on credit while they pay installmently will help reduce corruption in the civil servant by a big stretch. Likewise mortgage for houses.

When they wanted to increase VAT to 7.5% also, in that year Colloquium, Tinubu pleaded with V.P Osibanjo and his team not to go ahead with the increase of VAT because it will reduce the purchasing power of the masses and further throw more into poverty. He rather suggested that the tax net be expanded to include those whose income are taxable but not currently paying taxes into the tax net, he even suggested luxury tax that target the elite. But what did Osinbajo did? They went ahead with the VAT increase anyways. I think that's when Tinubu stop disturbing himself with any advice if they are not going to consider it.

larride:


Dont worry, next year we will stake another bet on who will win the election.

izzou:




Probably this was the first sign for Tinubu to know his Judas

Oasis007:


You see..... Peter Obi lies too much, and he needs to tone it down cos it's affecting his credibility gradually.

I guess many of us have seen what he said regarding Siemens project in Nigeria?
