The game is already:
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
how has he used the above to improve the living standard of nigerians?

how has he used the above to provide good governance, curb corruption, nepotism, cronyism, budget padding, failing infrastructure, poor medical facilities, wasteful government spending, medical tourism on his part, unemployment and lack of equal opportunities for nigerian youths to thrive?

This is why they call Yorubas double faced backstabbers.


They will call you friend but at your back they are plotting to harm you.


But how this Lagos looting machine think El Rufai is a fool amazes me.



This is the difference between an Igbo man and a Yoruba man.


An Igbo man will never pretend to like you just to deceive you to help him, once an Igbo doesn't like you, he tells you to your face without fear.


But a Yoruba man will hate you and still be pretending to love you in your front just to get favour from you.

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

Tinubu the master game player, Mr president knows how to read what’s on the board. He’s very strategic when it comes to playing politics.

He might not be performing at the expectations of many Nigerians but you see the game called Nigerian politics, leave it to president Tinubu.

He taught me about PATIENCE, but when it gets to YOUR TURN , make sure you GRAB IT by all means and RUN WITH IT.

No one is ready to give you what’s yours if you don’t take it forcefully. The world is not heaven
is the job of the president of nigeria for game playing?

does anything you have written above fall into the job specification of the office of president as enshrined in the constitution?

Classic Jagaban strategy of engineering chaos, feigning innocence and then seeking to play both sides. This lends credence to the rumours that the party has been sending emissaries to pacify Elrufai, but once bitten, twice shy. After sidelining him and empowering all his political adversaries to come and feast where he sowed. Elrufai is not a fool. He doesn't even need to leave the APC, the North will take dressings from his body language and do the needful. Two can play the game.

"Unless betrayed, our loyalty and fidelity to friends are permanent and pensionable. Unless reconciled, our opposition and enmity to traitors are also permanent and pensionable” - Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai

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

How old will you be in 2025? Obviously a 16yrs old boy with Redmi phone


Politicians are very cunning even El rufia stretch hands of friendship to shehu sani before the election only to blocked him from getting return ticket to red chamber, before sani could cross to PDP it was late


Politics is strategic, with Sani uba getting control of APC in Kaduna El rufia can't stop Tinubu re-election, Tinubu is a very smart and strategic politicians that even show love to his enemies before giving them the political blow

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.
can you name these 1000 business friends tinubu has in the north?

what businesses do they do together?

See as Tinubu dey patronize El-Rufai. So, it's no longer: "Tinubu is a master strategist", "Tinubu made Buhari President", Tinubu is a king maker", "Tinubu's political wizardry made him president", etc.

Now that his relationship with El-Rufai has gone south, he now remembers someone contributed to his success.

I know H.E Mallam Nasir El-Rufai cannot fall for this birthday message crap.
Re: "You contributed to my victory": Tinubu celebrates Nasir El-Rufai at 65 by maasoap(m): 8:35pm On Feb 16, 2025
Even as a Yoruba man and APC member myself, I'm ashamed of Tinubu's treatment of El Rufai. It is not good way to treat human being. Look at the ediot Bwala who called Tinubu different names and even worked against his ambition now eating/"working" with Tinubu!
El Rufai didn't just contributed to your winning but he was the chief architect of your success story

Really? If that's the case, is that how to treat someone you hold in high esteem and the one you don't want to lose to opposition? Why will El Rufai want to work for Tinubu again? I mean, what's the incentive?

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.
2027 is just around the corner all your long analysis we go see the outcome!

You obviously don't understand politics. The president can even wish his worst enemy the best felicitations. It doesn't mean he holds that person in high esteem. It's just part of the game of keeping your friends close but your enemies closer. Understand the 48 laws of power.

Re: "You contributed to my victory": Tinubu celebrates Nasir El-Rufai at 65 by IfnobeGod20(m):
Only Tinubu's minions that doesn't know the impact of El-Rufai in the emergence of Tinubu to the presidency.
The man El-Rufai did all he could to ensure Tinubu wasn't boxed to the corner by the APC leadership, if he has allowed that, Tinubu would not have won the APC presidential primary, they would have gone for consensus and that would have buried Tinubu's career. Same way he led the northern Islamic clerics to ensure northern Muslims favours the muslimmuslim ticket. He also ensured that the policies of Buhari that should have worked against Tinubu was killed through the supreme court. He also went as far as Chatham House to answer question for Tinubu and helped packaged him as the best thing for the country while his minions that contributed nothing are seeing maligning and ridiculing him at the slightest opportunity. What a wonder of the world.
This just tells us, always know who you will do good for, as you may later regret doing the good.
I never knew Tinubu could allowed his minions to ridicule El-Rufai but I don't pity El-Rufai because he played ostrich and double standard and tilted more to religion than principled standard. If I was told he would not support his friend Rotimi Amaechi, I would have said, not possible but in my very own eyes, he betrayed his old friend on the altar of religion attachment. I am sure he is regretting today. The same man that stood by him when he was having problems with Yar'Adua and Jonathan. He even drove him to DSS office in one instances. I was even telling people that time that El-Rufai would surely support Rotimi Amaechi than supporting any one but he disappointed my curiosity.
El-Rufai, the same man that never liked Tinubu from day one. Even with them in the same party he has been disliking his kind of politics but because of claimed of promise of Tinubu making him vice, he fell for it and later he fell for the muslimmuslim ticket. Today a sound of regret is abiding with him.
