Tinubu doesnt have right to accuse someone of tribal jingo

DadaHammed:
The phrase 'awa lokan' is full of tribalism.

No it is not. I am not a fan of Tinubu's but saying it is the turn of the Southwest (Awalokan) to be President is not different to saying it's the turn of the southeast (by several SE politicians) or it's the turn of the North Central (by someone like Yahaya bello).

This is way different to Atiku's dangerous bigoted utterance and you'd be disingenuous to equate both

Kagd10:
He means in Apc party, dumboo. Just like It's Wike's turn in Pdp party. Lastly, It's the southern turn for Nigeria.

It's not the Southern turn. It's South East's turn.

Clap for yourself Mr disingenuous!
Everyone you mentioned are guilty!

It is nobody's turn.

Kagd10:
You're an illiterate na. I repeat, it's the southern turn for Nigeria.

See, I understand Tinubu is not your preferred candidate, and that's very alright. But don't let your support of another cloud your ability to engage rationally. That is what separates Men from Boys

Masterito:
It is nobody's turn.

It's the turn of the Southern. Heck, it's the turn for regional federalism! Sink that into your patheticcc skull

poseidon12:
It's not the Southern turn. It's South East's turn.

Which South East turn? Southeast have ruled in the likes of Azikiwe and Ironsi who turned the country upside down. It's the Southern turn and Tinubu is contesting. It's simple

iwaeda:
Tinubu should check his clothes before speaking. He stole from PYO

Stole from PYO...

I guess there is no reasoning with you extremists is there?!! An A P C chieftain said that!!!

Obasanjo is the biggest political figure behind Obi in Nigeria!!! Afenifere leaders and OPC have declared for Obi. This are prominent Yoruba leaders and groups but people like you keep doing your damnedest to malign Yorubas like me trying to support Obi while still applying common-sense!

Rather than be advocates, you lots are starting to turn to Obi's biggest enemy going into the election.

Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu has charged the people of Ekiti State to deliver votes to him on February 25.

Tinubu gave the charge on Sunday during the swearing-in ceremony of Biodun Oyebanji as Ekiti State Governor.

He told the people of the South-Western State to deliver 95 per cent of the votes to him, warning against voting for Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“Sharp your eyes, shine them. Don’t forget your Permanent Voter Card (PVC). They are coming. One will say he is Atiku, and one will call himself Peter Obi,” he said in Ado-Ekiti.

How much were you paid for the long and useless dis-obidient episode?

See who is talking. Emi Lokan.

DadaHammed:
The phrase 'awa lokan' is full of tribalism.

No, you're wrong. It simply means,it's my turn based on some unseen agreement with the North. If he loses, the bottom line is that someone from the South must become president.

DadaHammed:
'awa lokan'...Yoruba lokan' is tribalistic.

you are not well

When did EMI lokan become awa lokan?

Please stop skipping your drugs

MikoB:
It's so disgusting and disappointing that Atiku stole the ticket from the southern candidates,I can't imagine another fulani after Buhari on the throne consequtively , Nigeria is so doomed to have to chosee between Atiku or Tinubu, who has nigeria offended? Anyway this will be most relaxed election for me because I don't have any candidate.

yeah... But Nigeria is blessed with the option of PO.

DadaHammed:
'awa lokan'...Yoruba lokan' is tribalistic.

E didn't say awa lokan. He said emilokan which solely refers to himself.

Honjoshy4u:
Tinubu started it with the sentence, 'it is yoruba turn, it is my turn'.
The North will vote for their own.

And continue the killing spree. You never see anything. Any Northern person who supports a Fulani man will still get killed by the same Fulani. By the time they finish you, your eye go clear.

yomi961:
Atiku Abubakar is by far the most popular and the most prepared presidential candidate in this election. Beyond the fact that he was Nigeria's first democratically elected vice president under this democratic dispensation, he is the only candidate with that level of experience among all those contesting to replace Buhari and his catastrophic government that has reduced our economy to its worst state since we gained independence in 1960 and left our currency struggling for relevance with the Zimbabwean dollar.

There are certain challenges only a salary earner or one who was previously a salary earner can understand. Unlike Obi, Atiku was not born with the proverbial silver spoon. He was a salary earner at the Nigerian customs service for about 20 years and as a result, he understands the pains of salary earners when inflation strikes. This explains why he goes to great lengths to ensure that salaries that are paid at his firms can take care of families and alerts for workers salaries hits their account early enough to keep them motivated and help them take care of thier needs.

As a former civil servant himself, Atiku understands how the civil service works and the need to make government services more efficient. Nigeria today has one of the biggest civil service in the world, with over 720,000 salary earners on the federal government payroll alone. The civil service swallows more that half of the our national budget every year even though they make up less than one percent of our entire population.

With Nigerians yearning for a reform of the civil service, there is the need to elect a candidate with first hand understanding of the problems and issues that has transformed the Nigerian civil service from the engine room that drives development to a clog in the wheel of progress.

Tinubu and Obi do not have any civil service experience, they dont understand how it operates, talkless of how to reform it. In contrast Atiku Abubakar with over 20 years experience in the glory days of the civil service understands the pains of civil servants and his multi dimentional digital approach to restructuring the civil service is what our country needs to trigger the process that will transform our dysfunctional civil service to the "vaibranium" that drives development and deliver real benefits to our people.

Tinubu and Obi were two term governors of their respective states, however, you cannot compare that with the experience that comes with being the Vice President of a country of over 200 million people.

As chairman of the National Economic Council from 1999 to 2007, Atiku Abubakar was an epitome of who a Vice President should be. His passion for a better and prosperous Nigeria is evident in the caliber of technocrats and specialists he personally convinced to return to the country and join hands with the government to develop our country.

As head of the Economic Management Team, Atiku and his team which included the current Director-General of the World Trade Organization Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, successfully renegotiated and paid off Nigeria’s entire debt with the Paris Club before the current disaster's in government plunged our unborn children into the biggest debt trap in the history of our country with about ₦50 trillion in debts hanging over our necks.

Under Tinubu's lackeys in Lagos, the story is not different, because despite the huge internally generated revenue it rakes in every month, Lagos sits at the top of the list of highly indebted states in Nigeria with nothing to show for it.

When it comes to the private sector experience, Abubakar towers above Tinubu and the upcoming Obi by miles. Atiku co-founded INTELS, one of the biggest oil and gas/ports logistics firms in Africa. His other business are huge job creators that employs more people than many state governments in Nigeria.

Tinubu on the other hand has no real businesses beyond negotiating a slice from your tax and prompting his rubber stamp state assemblies to legalize his tax collection illegalities.

Obi as a business man is mostly interested in importing from foreign countries and taking away jobs. Some of his rookie economic policies will shut down half of our manufacturing capacity in less than 100 days if they are ever implemented because it does not factor in critical aspects of local production.

Perhaps one of the major reason most Nigerians are queuing behind the Atiku presidential bid is his sterling records as Head of the National Council on Privatization, which oversaw the sale of hundreds of loss-making and poorly managed public enterprises into highly successful and profit making ventures.

This action led to the influx of new and badly needed investments in vital sectors of our economy triggering massive growth in our GDP and the highest creation of new jobs ever witnessed in our country.

In addition, his efforts at transforming the telecomunications landscape completely changed how we do things today. Before the Obasanjo-Atiku era mobile phones were a luxury because the 350,000 available telephone lines provided by the then inefficient NITEL was grossly inadequate to cater for our massively growing population.

As Vice President and head of the economic team in Nigeria, Atiku inaugurated a 22-member Telecommunications Sector reform implementation committee, charged with the responsibility of facilitating greater access to phone services for Nigerians. His team went on to facilitate and supervise the licensing rounds for GSM licence in Nigeria conducted by the NCC under the leadership of Engr Ernest Ndukwe whose appointment as the Executive Vice Chairman (EVC) of the NCC was facilitated by Atiku.

Thanks to the patriotism and dedication of Atiku and his team, the mobile connection you are most likely using to read this article and the over 188 million registered mobile lines in our country are helping to improve the ease of doing business, create jobs and open the global space for young Nigerians to unleash their talents and support the development of our country.

In 2019, we lost an opportunity to take back our country because some criminals manufactured non-existent votes and brought in a 'black market Justices" to legalize an illegality in plain sight.

In 2023, armed with the new Electoral Act and increased awareness of what the enemies of our nation can do, let us rise as one irrespective of tribe, religion or political leaning and support the most experienced candidate to help take back and restructure our nation for the benefit of our people and generations unborn.

What a waste of time. All this epistle for nothing.

Im an Igbo boy and an Obident Man, but as of recent weeks im beginning too like Tinubu...Like this man changed Lagos...If he can remove cheating, he will do better. Tinubu has better style than Buhari and experience than Peter Obi, Just let him leave the Apc style

DadaHammed:
'awa lokan'...Yoruba lokan' is tribalistic.

Perhaps you are non-Yoruba speaker...permit me to help a little

The Phrase...Awa Lo kan, Yoruba Lo kan..is not a tribalistic statement, it simply means ...it's our turn...referring to an agreement earlier reached and and it's a symbol of Omoluabi to wait for one's turn.
Remember, some elements withing the party wanted to play a fast one on the Southerners just before the primaries, it was this action to sabotage the south, that gave birth to those words to remind the saboteurs that Awa lo kan.

Honjoshy4u:
It is tribalistic... Go and watch the full video.
He said 'it is yoruba turn, it is my turn'
Na Tinubu start am

Yes, because they had agreement for rotational presidency between the North and South...Tinubu was able to make the North respect the agreement

But Peter Obi was unable to convince the Northerners in PDP to respect same because it was even the PDP that strated the idea of rotating the presidency but because Atiku is greedy...we all saw how he stole the candidacy from WIke by bribing Tambuwa at the eleventh hour. Peter Obi saw what would happen and he switched parties

. Nothing is tribalistic in Awa Lokan or Emi Lo Kan...
It simply means you've had ur time, it's our time.

See kettle calling pot black.

Atiku is teaching him how to play the game.

BAT that picked w Muslim as vice is worse

"The PDP's zoning arrangement stipulates that if the Party chairman is from the North, the Presidential candidate will come from the South."

100% a lie!
Show me PDP zoning arrangement to prove that when a northern man is the presidential candidate, the southern person should be the chairman of the party. Stop peddling lies to divide the country. I expect all 19 Northern states to vote to elect alhaji Atiku Abubakar as the next president of Nigeria in 2023. Wike lost PDP primaries contest---making him unable to become the party flagbearer. Atiku won, end of the discussion.

I found no one in Nigeria more tribalist like tinubu!

Dont say what you don't know...

I'm a Yoruba man. Tinubu did not change Lagos, he only made it his MMM(Money making machine)

Those who changed Lagos were Late Jakande, Buba Marwa and Fashola.

Then Prof Osinbajo won landmark cases for Lagos which allowed the states to keep more of the internally generated revenue.

DadaHammed:

Who doesn't know that it's turn of the south to produce president?
The north just wanna retain power and Atiku is one of them being used by a desperate PDP.
Awa lokan, emilokan is a good vibe. No northerner ll be president in 2023. Get that into your head.

mbaboy:
Tinibu will you shut up

you should stfu

DadaHammed:
'awa lokan'...Yoruba lokan' is tribalistic.

Seems you v mental issues. If you are a northerner, it's really added up. With your phantom population, you ll be shamed. You can all queue behind Atiku. We are watching. After the south helped the region by supporting Buhari for 8 years and at the end of it all, the region has nothing to show for it. So they now wanna bring in a mentally unstable Atiku. A known klepto. Una don fail

iwaeda:
Tinubu should check his clothes before speaking. He stole from PYO

receive brain. How e take steal from pyo? Na only pyo contest?

Think9ja:
South should vote their candidate

North should vote their candidate

Then let's see who will emerge as president.

How is that difficult to accept?

AtiKowa 2023

Lol you've forgotten that that North you're talking about also has North Central
And even within the North west, Atiku's votes will be shared with kwankwaso and Tinubu. Atiku can only confidently boast of North East (and even at that, a landslide is not guaranteed in his North East). This election is not going to be like before where twas only two main northern contestants like in 2019. I'm just laughing at your wack analysis.

That foolish man knew! It’s the south turn and ignored it. He’s selfish, he has nothing to offer. In his camp. He had Wike , he Had Obi. PDP could have won this election against APC but. Obasanjo knew this man very well and he said he can never be president of Nigeria for a reason.

Y’all remember what he did when they killed Deborah in north he deleted is twit.

This election is for the south my dog sef knows this
