You have no political base yet you want to be president. You say no to Godfatherism yet you want a Godfather to endorse you. The man refused to endorse anybody, let the best man win, 2 years after you are still bitter. As if you worked to be VP in the 1st place, as if you could even win your ward in the elections, as if he didn’t have to transfer his PU away from VGC after losing woefully in 2019!

This man smh

Desusi:
Obi is okay but cannot withstand Osinbajo

Lie.

Tareq1105:
Just listen to yourself again. I've seen Tinubu taken some bold steps that Obi wouldn't have tried.

Yes bold step like taking us from first economy to 4th and destroying the naira... illiterates have no say in affaire of Nigeria.

I suspect he wanted Rotimi

Ngwamankilyou2:
Lie.

Why are you living in delusion like this? I reserved my comments.

I think Buhari was confused about his choice of successor. He did not want Tinubu quite alright but he never had a clear favorite. Few days to the primary, he narrowed his choice down to Ahmed Lawan but it was a hard sell. He couldn’t come out to mobilize for him for obvious reasons. A northern president mobilizing for a northern candidate to succeed him after 8 years would have killed the party.


Osinbajo was more like a second option. Sadly, supporting an Osinbajo who was not even his first choice against a benefactor like Bola Tinubu was too much trouble. He doesn’t have the strength to manage the fallout.

Tinubu read Buhari’s situation and played his cards well. While publicly asking for Buhari’s support, he knew he was never going to get it. Instead, he kept mobilizing party members while putting pressure on Buhari to stay neutral. The Abeokuta outburst was a game changer. Stay neutral or we scatter everything. The primary came and Tinubu won easily.

However, Buhari and his goons were not done. They had a last joker for the election. Atiku Abubakar. To them, Atiku was a better option than Tinubu. However, campaigning for him publicly was impossible. So they came up with Naira redesign and other policies to make APC look bad.

Buhari’s last move was predictable so Tinubu already had a strategy in place. Peter Obi. Peter Obi was an unusual candidate in the election. He became a force with huge financial backing just few months to the election. Tinubu’s team poured huge money into Obi’s campaign without Obi knowing he’s being used. Tinubu also bought a lot of the APC governors. Peter Obi and the APC governors effectively checkmated Buhari and Atiku. The rest is history.

Half truth. Buhari never supported anyone. Never! The fact that you guys think Buhari will support someone and the person will not pick the APC Ticket is funny. If Buhari had supported some else, That person will definitely pick the APC ticket. Definitely

Okiton:



Mmohammadu Buhari wanted Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi to succeed him, but the terror drug king bought his way in with drugs and Lagos State tax money

Ameachi ke, he wanted Ahmed lawal the former Senate president and was supported by the likes of Orji kalu. Political strategist Tinubu, outsmart him.

Buhari the terrorist

Osinbajo would have been the best option for Nigeria. He would've been far better than Tinubu. But Nigeria is not structured to allow such a person to get there.

Ngwamankilyou2:
He want Obi the most intellectual above them all.

Might be true that he wanted obi. You remember he said he wanted to build 15 psychiatric hospitals in the SE? He knew all the special advisers and senior special advisers obi would employ would be madmen (he takes advice from them). You've got a point there.

Bubu wanted Rotimi Ameachi

goldsmithq:
Very true!!!!
Surely Buhari wanted Ameachi to to be his successor, the bond between buhari and Ameachi is beyond imagination

Dey play
Just dey play

Ironically

Stephenomozzy:
Hmmm... the way we believe that a "Democracy" can be influenced by how well or not one particular person "shakes body" tells us a lot about our electioneering process.

How about the rest 200+million people, that are "claimed" decide their rulers ni?

Keep deceiving yourself.

Some of ya writeups were true. That Buhari and his pipu are ya problems. So beware

Islie:
A former Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojudu, has claimed that former President Muhammadu Buhari never supported the presidential ambition of his then Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.

Ojudu also said Buhari did not back the current President, Bola Tinubu, despite their friendship and political alliance, but that Tinubu “outmaneuvered him in several ways.”

He spoke during his appearance on Edmund Obilo’s State Affairs podcast on Monday.

Ojudu, who served in the office of former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, also said his former principal could have performed significantly better than the current president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Recall that during the APC primary prior to the 2023 elections, Bola Tinubu secured 1,271 votes to clinch the party’s presidential ticket, while former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi garnered 316 votes. Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo got 235 votes, finishing third, while Senate President Ahmed Lawan got 152 votes.

Ojudu said, “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 mobilises people around him, the governors, his aides, we are going nowhere.

“I used to refer to Buhari as one-man majority and he never mobilised his team towards Osinbajo and I think Tinubu outsmarted him in so many different ways.”

Speaking further, he likened the failure to elect Professor Yemi Osinbajo during the last presidential election to missing a second chance at the leadership of Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

“Osinbajo would have been good for this country. For me, it is like losing Awolowo for a second time because he was at Awolowo’s level in terms of capacity, ability, dedication and commitment.
