Osinbajo: Tinubu Outsmarted Buhari To Become Nigeria’s President – Ojudu by zero8zero(op): 9:48am On Dec 31, 2024
Former presidential Special Adviser on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojudu, has disclosed that President Bola Tinubu outsmarted his predecessor, ex-President Muhammadu Buhari in 2022.

Ojudu said Buhari never supported his then Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo and Tinubu during the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential primary election.

He pointed out that Tinubu outsmarted Buhari in so many ways to pick the party’s ticket and eventually emerge president.

Ojudu disclosed this while featuring on Edmund Obilo’s podcast ‘State Affairs’ on Monday evening.

According to Ojudu: “I knew Osinbajo was going to lose the primary, I saw it coming.
“Because of the system we operated and still operating, I kept saying at our meeting that all of the efforts we are making like traveling around, convincing people, and addressing delegates is only 40 percent
.

“60 percent of it lies in Buhari’s hands unless and until Buhari mobilizes people around him, the governors, his aides, we are going nowhere.
“I used to refer to Buhari as a one-man majority and he never mobilized his team towards Osinbajo and I think Tinubu outsmarted him in so many different ways.”


In the build-up to the 2023 presidential elections, there were widespread claims that Buhari preferred the then Senate President, Ahmad Lawan over Osinbajo and Tinubu.

But results from the primary showed that Tinubu pulled 1, 271 votes, former Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi pulled 316 votes to come second, Osinbajo had 235 votes, while Lawan got 152 votes.

cheesy

The headline tho. Makes it look like Buhari still have a few more terms to use

This nonsense story is meaningless now, that he got outsmarted alone was a proof that he isnt a natuarally born-winner

We currently have the best Nigeria had to offer in 2023 and trust me, No regret about that

He didn't outsmart anybody, buhari just gave in to his ranting.

He probably just decided to agree to their terms and conditions.

Simple.
Re: Osinbajo: Tinubu Outsmarted Buhari To Become Nigeria’s President – Ojudu by buharibanjo(m): 10:51am On Dec 31, 2024
It's Just a game man
Calm down.. nothing concern buhari with the next president issue
'Outsmart' can be used if he served for 4 years only
Wait o! Seems Amaechi, bello, Lawan & Osibanjo lost their influence after this primary?
Re: Osinbajo: Tinubu Outsmarted Buhari To Become Nigeria’s President – Ojudu by DaddyCoool(f): 10:52am On Dec 31, 2024
LUCK!
Tinubu was LUCKY, not that he outsmarted anybody. He was lucky Buhari did not come out for anybody.
A good or smart politician would NOT have left his fate entirely in Buhari's hands!

Buhari most foolish, that ever had opportunity to rule a nation twice. It's not only Tinubu that outsmarted lifeless, but every his appointee dribbled him and ran Nigeria aground.
