[color=royalblue]Suddenly every Obidient is doing better than a BATist, and everybody is cutting everybody because of political ties.

Some don unfollow thread because of the disappointment sef.

Some of y'all need to chill and be in charge of your emotions.

The Nigeria that you did not japa in the past 8 years is what you want to consider because Obi lost. Even Obi with all his wealth has not relocated

Na God dey bless. Why not hope that the present government favours you? .

Rise above your emotions and see a progressive life in front of you.

This outing of Obi shows there is serious hope for the political sphere in Nigeria. And that will always be my win.

Let's accept our trolling and enjoy this beer parlour as we used to do.[/color]

The most important thing is to leave Labour Party. He will not achieve anything with that Party except Labour will Merge with NNPP and PDP and rebrand as a new party.

Ellexy:
Good message but if anybody see way make them japa.

raumdeuter:
He needed the right time and this was the perfect time
This is The Tinubu Chess game

Opening move decided to go a conservative Sicilian opening
In 1999 he won Lagos State governor

In 2003 when OBJ deceived all SW governors and the AD to not float their candidate that they should support him and in turn he will ensure they retain their seat, Tinubu disagreed with AD leaders on that arrangement. tsunami swept all AD governors only Tinubu survived

Queens gambit declined

He left AD, formed his own party AC and he was the only governor

By 2007 to grow the party he reached out to Oshiomole offered him the AC ticket in Edo vs Prof Osunbor. Oshiomole lost

Atiku and OBJ got into a fight a major fight, Atiku was in charge of PDM he was the strongest Northern politician and as the heir to Yar Adua, OBJ used YarAdua younger brother Umaru to break Atikus hold on PDM
Tinubu saw an opportunity to woo a powerful politician and get on his good side, he gave Atiku a platform to contest the 2007 election obviously Atiku had no path to win. He made Ben Obi Atikus vice. They lost but Tinubus profile started rising
Short side castling

He sponsored candidates in AC all over Nigeria. He brought many politicians treated badly and denied a ticket into his fold e.g Ngige Akume

He brought Fashola a technocrat as governor but didn't hand over the political keys to him
Fasholas performance became the standard for ACN to campaign and win many hearts across the nation
Knight advance

The criminal elections of 2007 conducted by Obasanjo which was reputed to be the worst election in Nigerian history handed Tinubu a huge opportunity
He found an ally in Justice Salami of the appeal court who was instrumental in restoring the Oshiomole and Fayemi and Aregbesola into power
AC grew into 4 states.
Open file Bishop

Mimiko of Labour Party who was denied the ticket was also in tribunal vs Agagu. Tinubu approached him to provide logistic support with belief that Mimiko will decamp into ACN. Mimiko won but declined to join ACN

By 2011 Tinubu spread beyond the SW approached strong politicians who were denied a ticket or chased out of strong parties but knew he couldn't take on the FG alone at this time. He was the 3rd force in 2011

Buhari controlled all Northern states with his new CPC, Jonathan and PDP controlled most SE NC and SS states

CPC and PDP were stalemate here comes tie breaker Tinubu.

Buhari in his idealistic thinking felt he could do by picking Bakare a Pastor with zero structures. He didn't agree to Tinubus terms.

GEJ saw the opportunity approached Tinubu who tactically floated a dummy Ribadu and Fola Adeola(2 moslems who had zero political structures and were barely politicians) he knew weren't going anywhere. Tinubu stepped down all ACN machinery in the SW and allowed the PDP a free ride.
Knight fork
Now he has become a major power broker who tactically made Jonathan president without appearing to.

Buhari lost again and started crying on TV and was hopeless. As a man of strategy Tinubu knew Buhari was at his low and vulnerable, he approached Buhari this time Bubu was more than willing

After winning in 2011, Jonathan started some aggressive moves to break Tinubu so he won't have to beg everytime. One of such moves was to make a SW Mulikat Adeola Speaker, Jonathan thinking was to raise a powerful SW politician that will be an alternative to Tinubu.

Tinubu knew this was an act of aggression on their gentleman handshake and he mobilized the ACN reps to reject Mulikat and support Tambuwal,
Another gambit. Bishop sacrifice to gain a strong position

Tinubu started the cleanup of Buharis image from a clueless out of touch military religious extremist guy to this misunderstood charming, introvert, gap toothed, strong man that Nigeria needed at this critical time to get rid of corruption and PDP in discipline

Thus APC was birthed with the plan to use Buharis popularity with Tinubus money and skilled politicking to push Buhari into power but this time Tinubu was to pick Buharis vice.

APC also won over Atiku after he lost out in PDP and breakaway PDP governors. Atiku came into the convention ground hoping to buy the ticket as usual
Buhari has never done any real competitive primary in a party everyone didn't worship him. Primary ground Buhari was stunned about how Atiku was about to steal the ticket right there with money . Until Tinubu matched Atiku dollar for dollar and Buhari won the ticket

Now the deal was for Tinubu ACN to provide the Vice. Buhari asked Tinubu to give him 3 options.

Tinubu knew he was interested in succeeding Buhari. And giving a strong vice would build up the Vice politically over 8yrs and might build enough goodwill to succeed Buhari
This was Tinubus biggest masterstroke. He gave Buhari an Osinbajo who was smart but has the political clout of a 13yr old girl. Osinbajo was a very safe choice, he was not popular nor charismatic enough to gather the clout to state Jagaban in the face

There were other options like Fashola and Fayemi but they were risky and could get ambitious and endear themselves to people

Buhari asked Tinubu for 3 choices, Tinubu returned with one choice an unknown Yemi Osinbajo who will complete 8yrs and have less to nothing in political power to challenge for the seat
Queen advance

Buhari won election and Tinubu is in a good position Nationall acknowledged as the brain behind the success, thus issues started cropping up, fissures grew in the hurriedly assembled APC. Saraki wanted more than he was offered and broke the party, Buharis packaging has now begun to fall off, the makeup was beginning to melt and the man behind the mascara was beginning to show and its not pretty, Tinubu was schemed out by Buharis CPC friends including Abba Kyari and ElRufai, Things were not going to plan
Should he pull out of the APC, blurt out or maintain status quo and reach out to enemies
The Queen beat a tactical retreat

Comes 2022, Tinubu has broken into the ranks of governors in his party and showing loyalty to them in times of trials won him a lot of die hard loyalists like Oshiomole and Ganduje who will lay their lives for him
By now Tinubu had taken control of all the APC structures and wanted the party to go for a direct primary, Some felt there was no way they could match the network of Tinubu in a direct primary and pushed for indirect where only chosen delegates voted
Tinubu called upon his network of Governors and allies when Buhari wanted to anoint Lawan, they stood up and insisted it goes to the South
He won the primary and cleared the road for an eventual checkmate

Rook to center

You can see it was a gradual ascension filled with scheming gambit which he lost some but won many

I can write a book on this man called Jagaban who many people do not like but smart people deeply respect

He understands politics. He is smart enough not to fight anyone thus always leaving the room for reconciliation open, the power of compromise give & take, persuasion and when to use the power of money

Most times those who fight Tinubu can only do it on the pages of paper By the time you meet him, His humor, his slow thick voice, his offer he will give you, You most likely will leave him calm and ready to compromise

Itsrm:
When I told theflint1 that the stears poll was neither here nor there and that they were playing safe, he said that was what their data said

A001:
I know a change of party at many levels of government would be beneficial for our democracy. But people like raumdeuter had other ideas and supported the imposition of a sick septuagenarian on us.

My only wish now is that Tinubu becomes our own Mikhail Gorbachev. As the latter caused the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, it's hoped that Tinubu will spur the dissolution of this failed British project called Nigeria.

VoteTinubu2023:
Your candidate lost and now you are wishing for the country to dissolve?

Before you submit your Nairaland posts, show it to more sensible people around you to read, so they can tell you how ridiculously dumb you sound.

If only a certain candidate victory will be accepted by you before the commencement of an election, why was there even an election in the first place?

It is called an election because many will contest and only one will win. Not hard, is it?

Donjazet2:
When you people keep saying this, you keep missing the point.

Obi is not even the one running this campaign so to speak!! This was a movement powered by the people, especially the youths, through the internet, using obi as their vehicle.

I mean, look at Peter Obi well, does this look like a man who habors deep rooted ambitions?? No? I won't even be surprised if after this election has been done rigged, hopefully unsuccessfully, this man just retires from politics even with the monumental gains he has just made.

This is a modest man who ojukwu plucked from nowhere and crowned his person in the face of the mighty PDP. A man who did not seek to impose his own successor in the state but allow the party's Democratic choice.

I'm just saying, unlike the 2 old candidates who nursed serious lifetime ambitions to be president for the sake of it, this man has just accepted the gift of nature. Being at the right place at the right time. The youths chose him as their vehicle. That's why he had general acceptance. They wanted a way out. Out of the mess nigeria is but the corrupt establishment will just not go down without a fight.

Itsrm:
LP is leading now with 42% of votes. APC closely behind with 37% of votes and PDP doing 21%

VoteTinubu2023:
Is APC the ruling party in Edo state? You don't even know how retaaarded you sound.

Once again, I condemn all activities of violence before, during and after elections. I hope all perpetrators of attacks are arrested and prosecuted.
