If you’re not drunk, can you please point out the lie about thishuh

“By the year 2027, the South will have enjoyed 17 years of leadership—eight years under Obasanjo, five years under Jonathan, and four years under Tinubu—while the North will have experienced only 11 years, with Yar’Adua serving three and Buhari eight.”

Lol 😂😂 they always acting as if it's their birth right... Didn't they say the same during buhari 1st tenure even when he was critically ill?
Do you mean that T-Pain said it, so he could deliver Yoruba votes for Buhari’s reelection, and then get his own ebilokan turn last year, to continue APC shege promax that was fraudulently promoted as change huh

Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country




Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

The seat of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is not the birthright of the North. The same way Buhari completed 8 years as President is the same way PBAT will complete his 2 term tenure (4 + 4).

No vacancy in Aso rock till 2031.
If you are not the one wasting your time, then point out the falsehood in this.

“By the year 2027, the South will have enjoyed 17 years of leadership—eight years under Obasanjo, five years under Jonathan, and four years under Tinubu—while the North will have experienced only 11 years, with Yar’Adua serving three and Buhari eight.”

Do you think that the Lagosians in the ebiNpawa video below, know that T-Pain will finish them off with hunger and poverty in eight years huh

Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.

On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.

On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.

Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

Whether Tinubu can or cannot be defeated in the next poll is not the issue.

Tinubu will have atleast one Challenger in the next poll.
And the north is trying to unseat a southern Muslim with a southern Christian in the next poll. If that happens, Muslims would have been president for 12 consecutive years since Buhari, then slide in a Christian in Johnathan for just 4years, so as to have a fully north breeded Muslim president for the next 8years.
12years plus 8years will be 20years Muslim presidency with the christians tasting just 4years within that time.

Whether Tinubu gets to complete 2terms or Johnathan gets to unseat Tinubu for just 1term as president, either way, it will be a loss for the southern Christian.
And the Johnathan card will deliver the worse blow to South if you notice.

So, I will Support Tinubu presidency for 2term over Atiku or Johnathan.
This is the way to go as it will compel the north to field a northern Christian after Tinubu 2 terms to improve their chances of winning the presidency to the North.

Interesting times ahead in politics
You talk as if it is the Northern or Southern /Christian or Muslim President that puts food on your table. If you have not learnt anything with the last two administrations, then history will surely repeat itself for you.

Honestly, God really wants to use Atiku to answer our prayer of breaking up Nigeria.

Happy that, he did not respect rotation of power between the South & north, not knowing that what's keeping Nigeria as one is that unconstitutional arrangement

And Nigeria already sitting on the fence as the oness of Nigeria is shaking, Atiku believe in using force & military to keep Nigeria as one 😂😂😂

Not knowing that, it's just politicians from region that's supporting one Nigeria because of Thier turn to be in power.

The moment it's taken from them by north, all southern politicians will start supporting breakup secretly & that's definitely breakup Nigeria
Stop fooling yourself. Nigeria will never break up over which region monopolizes presidency. Injustice is already deeply entrenched and we are already used to it.

Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President of Nigeria, has raised concerns over calls from the Bola Tinubu-led administration urging Northerners to hold off on contesting the presidency until 2031. Atiku described this as inequitable, pointing out a significant disparity in the years of leadership shared between the North and South.

Leadership Disparity

In a statement issued by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, Atiku highlighted the imbalance:



Atiku's remarks come as a response to Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, who recently called on Northerners to support Tinubu for a second term. Speaking on TVC, Akume stated, “President Tinubu, as a Southerner, should be allowed to have a second term, meaning that those eyeing the presidency from the North in 2027 should look beyond that year by waiting till 2031.”

Atiku's Push for Equity

Atiku questioned the fairness of this proposed arrangement, emphasizing the need for a balanced power-sharing structure between the North and South. He stated:



While calling for fairness, Atiku reminded Nigerians that ultimate power lies with the electorate:

“The power to elect and vote out their government lies firmly with the Nigerian people, entrusted to them upon the government’s ability to prove itself worthy of the people’s ballot.”

A Challenge to the Tinubu Administration

Critically, Atiku questioned the Tinubu administration’s performance as a basis for seeking re-election. He concluded with a scathing remark:



Implications for 2027

Atiku's comments underline the ongoing debate over power rotation in Nigeria, a critical factor in the country’s political landscape. As the 2027 election approaches, discussions about equity, fairness, and leadership performance are likely to intensify.

It's a catch 22 situation here for haters of Tinubu. People will not vote another Southerner in 2027 because that one will want to spend 8years not 4. People will not vote a Northerner because the eight years from 2023 to 2031 is for the South. Wailers, wail onnnnnnn.

Atiku Abubakar has voiced strong criticism against the suggestion that Northern politicians should wait until 2031 for a presidential bid. He views such calls as undemocratic and divisive, arguing that leadership should be determined by competence and popular choice rather than geographic rotations. This highlights the ongoing debate over power-sharing and regional equity in Nigeria's political landscape.

It is a good thing that Atiku does realized that the electoral power lies with the people.
And I feel that the people will take all of my highlighted points into consideration in deciding who gets to be the next president after Tinubu.

Any political party that is really serious about producing the next president will not field Atiku or a Muslim as flag bearer.
This will be a big political point that will count alot in deciding which party gets to produce the next president.

Maybe this is what some northern politicians envisaged, that they decided to float the idea of pushing a southern Christian in Goodluck Johnathan forward as a possible candidate that can unseat Tinubu who is also of southern extraction as president in the next poll, knowingly that Johnathan has only one tenure of 4years left constitutionally.
I see this as a political card that will shortchange the christians of the number of years for presidency.

In my opinion, I think Buhari and Tinubu have expended every chance available to Muslims in chosing the next president after Tinubu.

Atiku should know this, retire from contesting the next presidential elections and not waste his time and resources until after roughly another 12 - 16years time.
I don't really care who is president whether xtians of Muslim,but I am bothered which region- north or south....you see that GEJ card you mentioned is being played to continue to destabilise the opposition......you can now see atiku brazenly coming out to declare is intentions and the obi camp would be quite impractical by supporting a northern candidate with him as vice when a GEJ is in there somewhere. ....this would leave obi with no choice than to go it alone again.

Ultimately,the opposition gets divided again and the man you love to hate goes ahead to win again.....in all,I know the political dynamics of this country would change after tinubu and many of these old timers would be relegated.
