If not that you were suffering in your state, then you would not have dropped out of primary school and jumped into Mallam Audu’s carrying cows from Bornu to Lagos to come and sell Gala and La Casera inside Lagos holdups

The wretched always pray for the downfall of the successful, that’s why you remain poor

Tinubu is the master of 48 laws of power, he is using law two and three on that short Kaduna ex politicians turn content creator,

Law 2: Never Put too Much Trust in Friends, Learn How to Use Enemies: Keep a close eye on your friends — they get envious and will undermine you. If you co-opt an enemy, he’ll be more loyal than a friend because he’ll try harder to prove himself worthy of your trust.

Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions: Always hide your true intentions. Create a smokescreen. If you keep people off-balance and in the dark, they can’t counter your efforts

Meanwhile in reality, the biggest contributor was PO

ChiefOloye:
This is parts of the illusions, comparing President Tinubu to President Jonathan. To start with, this is 2015 or 2027, not 2015. There's no Buhari, a man many, including me believed was a Robin Hood of sort, another factor is, Tinubu isn't an accidental president like Jonathan. Jonathan, like Peter Obi, didn't have political friends or allies in the North, but Tinubu has 1000s of his business and political friends that will still line behind him in the North.

Bobloco:
Tinubu still holds El-Rufai in high esteem because he knows the immense contributions El-Rufai made towards his emergence as the APC presidential candidate and subsequently the president of Nigeria.

El-Rufai is too strategic to ignore, especially in the context of northern Nigeria, and Tinubu understands this fact.

Forget the rantings of Reno Omokri and his fellow hordes of urchinstons, BATerians, Agbadorians and paid agents who do nothing but engage in frivolous rantings on social media, looking for likes. Tinubu no send them

El Rufai na Tinubu baba, Losing him to the opposition will be catastrophic come 2027

Svoboda:
No doubt. He has friends and allies in the north that can fall in line for him. But they couldn't help him cross the line. He needed a divided opposition to do it for him. That tells you that friends and allies have a limitation.Will just his friends and allies be enough for him come 2027? Time will tell. No doubt, he isn't GEJ, but he is potentially running against a northerner in Atiku. He is no small fry by all means. He also has friends and allies in the north. The question is, would you expect that the north, no matter how divided it is, go against its very own in Atiku while the southwest coalesce behind their very own in tinubu? What do you think would attract an average northerner to snub his brother on the ballot and vote a southwesterner when he can keenly observe the feel good factor among the presidents kinsmen.

Liar! You're not from Southern Kaduna. I served in Fadan Kaje in 2007 and didn't leave, until 2009, because of my girlfriend's hospitality. I put it to you, no known reasonable person from Kataf, Jama, Zonkwa, Kagarko, Kagoro, Kafanchan, will like El-Rufai and openly be proud of it.

Tinubu has been dealing to weak his support base.. using the governor and playing the natural chameleonic beyirebe..

But Mallam and Arewa knows Yoruba people too well.. infact thee gave Yoruba that name .. and he thinks going to press with a birthday wish will change what has been done by Yoruba against the North and it’s elderly statement just like that..

Hahahahahaha … this. Yoruba god is funny..

Who bankrolls Reno and all paid agents of Tinubu on social media and nairaland ? Or he thinks he doesn’t see all the insults ?

When the Lagos Igbo man made a statement to APC of dangers in ignoring Mallam.. didn’t the Yoruba people insulted El-Rufai the more and even igbokwe got served ..

Now they will come online to gbo gbo on how both El-Rufai and Tinubu where best of friends and tried to change narratives 🤣 of what they’ve singing all along ..

El-Rufai will be betraying Arewa if he makes any thing called peace with beyirebe and will forever lose relevance in Northern Nigeria


You need to be a northerner to understand the ways of the north .. in everything

Conspiracy theorists should rest

It's a celebration of life and I really don't see anything political about this

We're humans first and politics is just one aspect

Rest abeg

kedeojo:
So because he greeted him during one of his best day. Tinubu is not you igbos that harbour generational hatred. He doesn't mean they will work together. Tinubu has already secured kaduna state. Go and read calibre of defectors political sagacity. Emeka, everything is not about hatred, bitterness and emotions. Those attributes has cause you people presidency that a major tribe like yours now cry like a kid.

AMINDA:
Yes, same one. Going by your logic, it's safe to say that Sanwo-olu and even Tinubu are irrelevant and worked against themselves by supporting Obi, since they lost Lagos in a relatively free and fair election. They only managed to win the gubernatorial through voter suppression and by invoking tribal sentiments. Buhari, Ribadu, Ganduje et al lost their states to Atiku, but out of all these people, it's only Elrufai (his most vocal Northern champion) whom you guys accuse of working against Tinubu, just to provide justification for your betrayal.

When are you guys going to admit that Tinubu was grossly unpopular in 2023 and now, even more so (he's been tested now and found lacking). He won with the least margin ever in Nigeria's political history. Despite all these, the numbers still show that the core North delivered Tinubu through the margins he got, at the time when even most Yorubas were too timid to openly support his campaign for fear of obidients (5.5m out of his 8.3m total was from the North.

Tinubu does not even have the entire Southern base in his grip and could only salvage 4 out of 6 states in the Southwest, 1 state out of 6 in the Southsouth (Rivers state under questionable circumstances) and zero state in the Southeast. It wasn’t the Northern minorities that made Tinubu president (they mostly voted Obi in protest of muslim-muslim ticket). It was the Northern majority (despite splitting their votes 3 ways between Tinubu, a very formidable Northern Atiku and to a lesser extent, Kwankwaso who still got over a million votes). Numbers don't lie.

Tinubu would have been better off consolidating on his Northern base, not thinking he could replace the Northern majority with the minorities. To totally get the votes of Northern minorities, Tinubu will have to change his muslim-muslim ticket (suicide) or get CAN and all the pastors to endorse his muslim-muslim ticket (a set trap), all while improving on the economy.
