Hahaha! Unity beggers.
I thought you Agbadorians say El rufai is no longer politically relevant & that he should go to hell.
Look, El rufai will be Tinubu's nightmare and they have serious issues.
You don't know what it means to dent someone's image by saying the senate didn't clear him for ministerial position due to national security reasons after he worked very hard towards Bulaba's presidency.
You are indirectly calling that person a terrorist and that's why El rufai is so furious.

Bulaba go hear am for arewa hand in 2027.
FYI, I don't discuss issues from tribal perspective I see it as childish and narrow-minded and I don't cast national vote on tribal sentiment too.
Know your goons.

Save the substance of my post and check it again on 2027.

Those guys are politicians, they are playing games and Nigerians will still fall for their pranks again.

Tinubu will handover to either el-rufai or Ribadu except another dynamics play out before then

sad confused people. If El Rufai is bold,let him take ip Reno's challenge and visit US make we check something
Did Tinubu visit US all this years before he became president ?

Una go just dey talk rubbish..
Tinubu has a drug case in the U.S and never visited the country till he became president and it's gonna be worse for him now that Donald Trump is back as president .

Allow them to think El Rufie is a chicken until it's to late. El Rufai has great influence in Northern politics more than all APC leaders. 2027 will be Tinubu doom.
El-Rufai goofed big time as a governor, he doesn't have that power you're thinking in the north, most northerners look at him as a backstabber and an extremist. That is why he has been running around and his mouth just to remain relevant. What most people don't understand is, most northerners don't like leaders that causes division among them, and that was what El-Rufai ended up doing as a governor.

My own is that Tinubu should stop feigning ignorance about El-Rufai not being cleared for ministerial appointment by National Assembly and NSA.

The same NSA that didn't clear El-Rufai for allegedly posing a security risk to the country, cleared the former Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawalle, who is also an alleged bandits sponsor.

Tinubu is pained that El-Rufai (who he hoped on) didn't win Kaduna for him, but Wike and Akpabio (who he least expected) won their States for him. And that made the difference.
I agree with you that Tinubu is only feigning ignorance. He orchestrated it all. He's a master at maintaining plausible deniability (e.g Obasa's impeachment).

Akpabio did not deliver Akwa Ibom for Tinubu. Atiku won Akwa Ibom State (shocking right? Yet Akpabio is Senate President). The only Southsouth state won by Tinubu was Rivers (under questionable circumstances). It is disingenuous for the President to expect Elrufai to deliver Kaduna for him when Kaduna's votes were split 3 ways between Atiku (a strong Northern contender), Obi (Christian factor) and Tinubu. Despite that, Tinubu's margin of almost 400k in Kaduna is larger than his margin in at least 2 southwestern states combined. Matawale, Ribadu, Gbaja, etc did not deliver their states as well.

Tinubu did not win Lagos nor Osun, yet Lagos has the highest number of appointees and Oyetola is a sacred cow. The fact that APC senators scaled through in Lagos even reinforces the fact that Lagosians were intentional about not voting Tinubu, specifically. He was grossly unpopular in 2023 as an untested candidate with so much selling points and promise. Now that Nigerians have tried him, the verdict is out there on his performance.

But El rufai was not playing games with Jonathan when he started badmouthing his government from 2014 abi? Dey play.

Tinubu that refused to give El rufai a ministerial position, then na presidency him go give am?
Tinubu is trickish and El rufai and Arewa already know that. That is why they rather capitalize on the current unpopularity of Tinubu in Arewa land, Middle belt, south east and south south to snatch power from him
in 2027 instead of allowing him play his usual tricks on them by 2031.

A Northerner presidency would benefit El rufai in 2027 better than in 2031.

Do the maths Bro. My perspective is not tribal. I'm a political analyst and a good one at that.
Go back to my 2023 posts. I predicted a Tinubu presidency even though I don't like him and it came to pass.

Ambode is the most timid and the biggest coward in the history of Nigeria politics cheesy

Nobody comes close!
Actually Ambode fought but the party was against him. It wasn’t Tinubu that removed Ambode, it was the party. Tinubu’s hands were tied.

Ambode’s error was he governed like a technocrat forgetting it was the party that put him in power.

A leader is only a leader because he enjoys the confidence of his followers. If the followers say they don’t want Ambode, it is bye bye Ambode, if the followers say they don’t want ElRufai, it is bye bye ElRufai. If the followers say they don’t want Mudashiru, it is bye bye Mudashiru but put someone there that represents Lagos west. The day you stop listening to your followers is the day you stop becoming a leader and transition to a dictator. When a leader listens to his followers, the day that leader says this is where we are going, the followers follow come rain come sunshine.


Many Nigerians don’t understand leadership, many Nigerians are dictators and rulers!

He should have changed his party like Obaseke and fought. Ambode isn't just a fighter. PDP would've given him the ticket and APC will find it extremely difficult to beat him as an incumbent governor.

Only terribly bad governors lose elections as incumbent governors in Nigeria - even nonperforming governors are reelected.

Olusegun has clearly stated again what the yorubas are to the fulanis.. their footstool and ass licker. He has told tinubu not play with yoruba masters, that their masters isn't yoruba like Ambode. . Oh what a cowards set of people.

The truth is that Elrufai doesn't even need to do much. As long as he stays aggrieved, APC campaign in the North will lack momentum. Which of these Northern pretenders around the President can rally voters for the APC in 2027? Northerners are not really swerved by money. They need to believe in your cause and they need to respect you in order to queue behind you.

Love him or hate him, Northerners currently respect Elrufai and Tinubu's rejection of him after making a promise has elevated Elrufai in today's North and diminished the President in some ways. I can't see Elrufai's Northern equivalent in today's APC.
And he couldn't rally his own kaduna? Clowns everywhere....LolHaha

Even though the North gave Tinubu 5.5m votes out of his total 8.3m, he does not need to win the North in order to win 2027. The south is still a pathway for him if he can consolidate his base, it is just a more difficult pathway. He seems to be alienating other Southern regions in favour of only the Lagos bloc of the Southwestern region. At least, Buhari was smarter by spreading his nepotism towards the entire North.

He would have lost! You clearly don’t understand politics. 1) Ambode does not have a political structure , he owes his rise to governor to the structure of the party in Lagos. 2) PDP has never done well in Lagos have they ever won a seat even at state assembly or house of rep level ever? Think before you post! 3) Edo is traditionally a state that swings even from the days of Awo, it swung between UPN and NPN. In this democracy it has been a PDP state more than APC so not the same as Lagos that has never been governed by any party other than AG, UPN, AD, ACN,APC which are all traditionally offshoots of AG. 4) Osinbajo fought how did that end up for him?

In politics you either have your own structure or you have a party that has a sting structure. If as a technocrat you get into power and start to beleive your own hype you will be humiliated. ElRufai will be humiliated. He already has been……do you know what it means for all state assembly members to vote against him? Do you know what it means for your state governor to reject your nomination as minister and to recall your nominee? If he was still relevant do you think that governor or state assembly member will get re-elected? ElRufai is a technocrat not a politician. He will be taught politics 101…..your ability to deliver votes determines your relevance in politics. MC Oluomo has more votes in his pocket in Lagos that ElRufai can influence in the entire North.

Every move is a political calculation. Tinubu, Nuru and Sani have made the calculation that the downside of losing ElRufai is outweighed by the upside of not having him in power. 2027 will tell who is right but right now, it is ElRufai who looks bothered!

Peter Obi is more relevant politically than ElRufai, Obi had 6m votes in the last election that were down to him and him alone. ElRufai despite being a governor could only deliver 390k votes of which probably 90% are down to the party. El Rufai cannot influence more than 50k APC voters to vote against Tinubu that would have voted for him if ElRufai was with him. Even Obi without a structure and without being an incumbent in got 300k votes in Kaduna so please enough of the overestimating of Mallam politically! Even his son refuses to back his father because he knows it is politically suicidal for him.

-Tinubu should use that tax system to restructure,first B4 other types of restructuring

-then do real census and biomatch of data's of national Legal I.Ds from NiN to voters card.

-create one more state for S.E region minimum

- Igbos deserve a huge compensation and integration. But I prefer Economic compensation than political compensation. To reduce the secession anger in that society.

-jonathan nearly liberated the northern populace from religious-oligarchy , bondages of blind followership under poverty for corrupt religious-oligarchy class.. the simple tool was massive Education.... I wish the north will be paid attention to in areas of ;massive Education in commercial agro tech, I.T, solid minerals mining and prod ..tech, nanotechnology and energy tech. Etc there
should be a law for education and social care, male and female must pay 10million social security from 4th child up each for that child

The southwest will go Singapore model while the Eastern region will go Chinese model.

All technicalities sorted

He should handover power to M.K.O son


That's the only way to compensate the dead

And as for IBB the judgement is between him and God cry cry
Rather, BAT should hand over power to Kola Abiola in 2027. That way, we will be sure Yorubas truly demand compensation. Make we see weda BAT my boi no go change am for una. grin

Well from your perspective, you may be right.
Also from my discussion with people though I didn't post it here, as early as this time 2022 I've started telling people to prepare for what we are passing through now because that man was unstoppable then. All my analysis of him come through.

Now my stand is no single politician in Nigeria now is bigger than that Stalin in Aso Rock. For him to be removed in 2027, I'm sincerely yet to see a formidable alliance that can challenge him let alone of sending him packing.

Don't forget Jonathan is a technocrat not a politician. This one is a cabal kingpin of politicians..

I know north is scheming but I'm waiting to see the momentum it will gather.
So let's all wait and see how things go.
We are all observing and learning

he spent in 2023 to buy another INEC Chairman and all the Chief Judges to become President in 2027
