You're free to join and associate yourself with any party of your choice, it's your fundamental right. I wish you luck.

You see my problem with this type of people is to say the least disappointing!
As a leader, what are the mechanisms deployable to correct these anomalies, for instance where was he at the last NEC meeting of his party?
You can't solve differences issues within your party and state yet you are moving to another party to do what?

You are a politician. You dumped APC for SDP cos as a politician, you are jobless until you are in power and now you are jobless. Your only chance to get back into power is to join another party. Probably you've gone there as a mole for APC to destroy it from within...or probably you are seeking for another platform and you know PDP won't take a judas like you

Tell me you know nothing about the North without telling me you know nothing about the North. If Tinubu is relying on Ganduje and Shettima to deliver the North to him, then he had better think again. Atiku won ALL Northeastern states in 2023 except Borno that he lost with a slim margin. Tinubu will drop Shettima in 2027 by the way. We will all learn politics together.
Okay sir.

Move on.Spiteful and bitter politics you all play in Nigeria.You were denied a ministeral position and you denounced and left the party you helped form.So pathetic and childish.l am worried about the economy and hunger in the country and not the vendetta politics you all are playing.

What can a common citizen do in nigeria, after people protested things got higher. The only instrument Nigerians have is right to vote
And the vote accomplished wonders?

Our problem is that we're too docile. Fela's assessment of our suffering and smiling nature is spot on. Protests do work, and it has worked a couple of times in the past.

He was not sideline, according to Reno, he failed security report from both domestic and international agencies for ministerial appointment
Did he just fail security report during ministerial nomination?

Or He has failed security report while still champion the course of Tinubu presidency?

I agree with all you said except the part about PDP not taking a Judas.

There is nothing like 'Judas' in Nigerian politics.

Even the presidential candidate of PDP-Atiku had previously left PDP for ACN before returning to PDP.
Saraki too left for APC and when things didnt go his way, he ran back to PDP.

Peter Obi is gone! Labour Party is gone! Maybe Peter Obi will join him in SDP.

Well, i am here to let you know that SDP will divide the votes thereby paving way for Tinubu's reelection.

Game plan On!

Peter Obi has lost again.

See how them dey slaughter your people. Good Samaritans sef were asking after you to come show solidary for your clan and kinsmen but na the one wey no concern you, na that one you dey rush. Oya go and threaten El Rufai na, as a coward you are. You pick PO grin

He is still coming back to either PDP or APC. If not that can mark the end of his political career and his name will sink.

Well I don’t believe anyone, I don’t belive any party or any association you can find Nigerian politicians anymore. They so low to the extent that this act can be one of their scene and plots again, so if you don’t belong to them or close to them, stop misinforming any audience on Nigerian politicians. Zero integrity and no regards for the populace, they don’t care about our feelings or emotions, their poticking games are not always for ordinary man but their collective greediness.

I’m not happy this is the type of politics we know only….. how about bragging who is the first to own first class medical hospitals, first class manufacturing companies, best senator to sponsor 50,000 graduates, first governor to empower and absorbed all the youths for various employment with lots of betterments. As in why can’t a school cert holder earn 1m monthly, with the way you all turned the country down. We the masses are only the one to make pay for their nemesis.

Sane Nigerian should stop bordering on these politicians, their affairs can’t be explained logically. In advance countries, he will make a public announcement and tell his followers reasons before decamping, those reasons will form a very strong alliance among his followers

Cos I hit front page, I will be happy if you can throw away your region mindset, and think like just a Nigerian collectively, and stop stereotyping every one to their roots. I a naija man that’s enough to define us.
You hit bro.
All Nigerian politicians are thieves and thugd

Unseat Tinubu for Boko Haram leader. It's your choice but I tell you El Rufai wouldn't achieve anything from this. Southern Kaduna people will never ever vote for him.

El Rufai has so many things to fight for bcoz his son in Reps wouldn't get APC ticket under Gov Uba Sani.

It's good that he's chosen this path, let him try his political prowess.

All I see here is someone who knows he can't defeat Tinubu head on but is willing to show to Tinubu that his presidency is a gift from the North.

El rufai contesting will divide Tinubu's northern votes, but won't fetch him much if Atiku is also on ballot.

That is why Elrufai is canvassing for a new alliance between the North and South South, to emerge the winner by slim margin.

Peter Obi is guaranteed SE votes, Tinubu is guaranteed SW votes, The north is still deciding, SS / Rivers is really important to Tinubu, that is why Wike is where he is now and allowed to trouble a sitting governor.
Well, I don't think the North is still deciding! They have a better deal waiting for 4 years for a Shettima/Ribadu/? presidency than gambling their chance on another northerner like an ElRufai or an Atiku. My submission is based on recents political alignments we see in our polity plus the recent reduction in insecurity up North among other development up north!

Talk true oga.
You are leaving APC because you are very toxic. Tinubu would never have been able to sleep with 2 eyes closed with you in his inner circle.
Re: Why I Dumped APC For SDP - El-Rufai by onatisi(m): 4:14pm On Mar 10, 2025
El Rufai strength is in the fact that despite he is very very good at mobilising string northern politicians ,he has that ability and that is one reason many groups that he belonged to have benefitted . We can remember how mobilised govs and others to support Tinubu when he was campaigning and how he mobilised govs and people against the new naira notes then.
we will have to see how his ability and strength weighs up against President Tinubu .
Although I still believe somehow he is working for Tinubu reelection indirectly by trying to break the opposition into pieces

Never trust any politician, he might be working for Tinubu with a promise ticket in 2031.

No notherner will like to be on ballot with Tinubu as president for just 4 years. Also, they are not likely going to support another southerner who may attempt to keep them off power for another 8 years. This could be a game plan to divide opposition votes yet again.

AMINDA:
With this movement, Tinubu's sojourn in the North has been dealt a fatal blow. Where will his 5.6m northern votes come from? SDP will adopt Atiku for the Presidency. Mind you that Atiku's 2023 votes remain largely untouched. He's now set to consolidate on his margins especially in the North. Can Tinubu do the same in the South, especially with the probability of Peter Obi contesting as well? I think not. 2027 will be a 3-horse race and this time, every region will largely vote for their own son. The region with the largest voting bloc shall triumph. If a coalition with Obi materialises, the election will be over before 12 noon.

Area boys calculated that Elrufai will run for the Presidency in 2027. That was the advise they gave to Tinubu that made him sideline and humiliate Elrufai, his most vocal Northern supporter thinking he will leave the APC to go contest for the Presidency in another party, thereby splitting Northern votes. It was a miscalculation! Northerners will largely vote one-way in 2027 and it will not be for Tinubu. Elrufai need not be on the ballot to influence things. We will all learn politics together.
Nice analysis.

I hope the best man wins. I just want naija to be great again.

PBAT won last election with money, as he has a lot of it, and support from Northern elders, but now he appears to be loosing that support.

One important factor that some analysts are underestimating is the "incumbent power". Such power combined with money in the hand of a strategist like PBAT could make so much difference.

Let's just wait and see.
