Will u keep quiet! Everyone in APC knew Tinubu would win the primaries that's why they kept postponing their primaries so Buhari's preferred candidate of Rotimi Ameachi could win, el rufai like everyother party member knew this and only queued behind jagaban knowing fully well he would win the apc primaries! Some of you because of hate for someone would twist the narrative to suit your bigoted ego.
Plus I am not Yoruba nor anything close to it!
Amaechi was Buhari’s favourite? Not Lawan who was announced as consensus candidate? Not Osinbajo?

Anyway, since Tinubu has failed to shield Yorubas from his clueless mismanagement of the economy, of what benefit is the tribal rotation and zoninghuh

Glimpsetv:
A large crowd of Lagosians was filmed in a long queue struggling to collect a loaf of bread. To maintain order, several military personnel were on the ground to control the crowd. This has triggered a lot of reactions online.

Watch the video, share your thoughts in the comments.

El Rufai is a psychopath, he doesn't understand the diversity of the entity Nigeria,he is a religious bigot like a christian version of Peter Obi.

My problem with you Yoruba's is, you guys are so shameless and hypocrites. This same EL Rufai you guys are insulting up and down fought his own people because of Asiwaju. He single handed stood for Tinubu against Buhari cabals. Do you think Tinubu stand a chance during 2023 Election if not because of people like Mallam El Rufai?
you dey mind them? The same Elrufai who openly supported Tinubu against Yemi Osibanjo and Amaechi. Every dick and tom now writing to discredit Elrufai

Politics is a very wide, wild and weird jungle where power play is being staged regardless of who and who. There are victims and here are victors, there are preys and here are predators, there is victory and there’s defeat.

All in all, “the political jungle just claimed another political victim” and life goes on.

Of course you will surely remind the feds of their promises but you won't ever remind your state Governor and local Government chairman of their own promises. Those ones are free to steal to stupor or sit down and do nothing for four years as long as they are from the land of the rising bitterness and criminals.
Was it the state governors and local government chairmen that drafted Tinubu's eight point agenda and set a deadline of August 2026 to achieve them?

una go deflect tire...

1. food security;
2. poverty eradication;
3. growth,
4. job creation;
5. access to capital;
6. inclusion;
7. rule of law; and
8. fighting corruption

PBAT is indeed talented in politics.. a kingmaker that made himself king.

El-rufai is trying to overrate his influence in politics thinking he can be like the demigod Tinubu in Nigeria's politics.. unfortunately for him, his influence is limited to Kaduna State alone, parts of Kaduna actually, excluding Southern Kaduna.
Even Atiku must be filled with admiration for PBAT.. he (Atiku) ran for President severally, just like Buhari all to no avail, but a political genius attempted once and became President after paying his dues in the ruling party. To remove the demigod from seat go hard walahi, a million Obi together with El-rufai no reach.

The summary is that the north is not to be trusted. The deception and desperation for power has become an obsession that the strategy of gun and ballots are lopsided


In the time of MKO Abíọ́lá, the most transparent election was annulled for no just cause. To show how mean, the man was neutralized. El - Rufai, a northern vanguard of this time is the arrowhead of the gang up which may not be at public glare now. More drama to unfold.

My own observation and take is the disunity amongst the south. They each believe that an alliance with the core north is a political king in Chess game of politics. Whereas, the northern political class ride on the docility of the Christian north who are themselves suffering.
Tinubu should find a way to destroy this political structural imbalance. By all means possible.

This is the most articulated, most interesting and hugely well narrated factual thing I've read on Nairaland in 4 years.

Whoever wrote this deserves a Noble Laureate

I only wish Tinubu can be aa brazen as OBJ to use EFCC to completey cage desperate people like Elrufai cos they definitely have skeletons in their cupboards

This is a well written, factual piece from a keen observer and political interpreter.

Very apt in his narration of events.

I’m interested to read more from this writer, my attention waned no bit as I read and understood his scenic revelation of historic political events.

Lol. Lukumi people! For the umpteenth time, betrayal is not a way of life. I see it's a cultural thing amongst you people. By 2027, we will compare scores to see if Tinubu's betrayal of Elrufai was worth it or not. Until then, you can keep writing long threads and having a wankfest over it.

Re: How Tinubu Countered El-Rufai’s ‘Coup’ - The Whistler by Chucks13: 8:15pm On Mar 13, 2025
I will say it a million time Hell Rufai, Atiku, Obi etc can never unsat Tinubu let them go and gather devil, demon, datan join they can never unseat Tinubu. The man Tinubu na political wizard joke with his political wizardry at your peril, he is a gifted politician he knows the game and sabi the road.

I said before his party(apc) primary that unless he didn't contest for the primary then fine but if he contest for the primary he will win and he won and I said it clearly here he will win the presidential election some fools said one "online president" will win I was just laughing at the end the online president was beaten to far 3rd position.

Tinubu won 2023 when even Buhari showed cold feet towards him so now tell me how obi or atiku or Jell Rufai idiot will beat hm when he is now the boss, the sheriff, the Don? Now he owned Judiciary, he approved appointment of any inec commissioner and pay them, he chose INEC chairman, he will be the one to approve the purchase, the configuration and management of BVAS and IREV yet obidient bitch still thinking their idiot Emperor will win. I just dey laugh....

Una go hear word by force.

Tinubu till 2031. No going back.
Re: How Tinubu Countered El-Rufai’s ‘Coup’ - The Whistler by ambale(m): 8:17pm On Mar 13, 2025
But we all remembered how Elrufai went to supreme court to challenge the naira issue

We also remembered how he championed MUslim Muslim ticket even when his kinsmen thought it was not good for our democracy

This is what we tell the Ibos and our Fubara supporters in Rivers. Know when you don’t have a good hand, stoop to conquer, play the long game, disarm your opponent then strike when you have gathered all the cards. Not this one that you make noise and gra gra up and down and telegraph your game tactics long before kickoff so your opponent has time to counter you.

The four “renegade” members of the Tinubu political clan could not handle their individual and collective discomfiture when, against all odds, the man managed to dribble Muhammadu Buhari and his cabal to clinch the APC presidential ticket. The godfather crowned it by beating their ambush to win the presidential election subsequently.
This is rubbish O. Didn't Fayemi and Amosun play a part in Tinubu's victory by stepping down?

What has the producing two presidents and a vice president done for Yorubas?

Are we immune from APC’s clueless mismanagement of our country into worse poverty, hunger, inflation, insecurity, corruption etc? Even the eight years of Obasanjo presidency failed to fix the Lagos-Ibadan and Lagos-Abeokuta roads as well as the Badagry road.

If you are not a clueless tribal chauvinist, you should stop shooting yourself in the head.
Go and check where the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway started from, go and read about southwest - sokoto highway, go check the name of the coordinating minister of the economy, go and read about the chairman of NNPC and many other government bodies in Nigeria, go and check the states with the highest IGR and states that contributes the highest to national income. The top positions held by Yorubas in Nigeria, igbos can never smell it. Its d reason some of us will work against an igbo president. We'll rather support south south. Chestbeating INGRATES.

What a master strategist he is... He's knows the Nigerian politics too well for anyone to beat him at the game.

Interesting... Jagaban the master strategist played the long game, turned the hunter into the hunted, and now El-Rufai’s got nowhere to hide. The political jungle just claimed another victim. tongue

To me all of them are the same. If not why herdsmen still continue to slaughter human beings like chickens in a country that have laws, ruler and military?

You don't get it. El-Rufai is TOO tribalistic to support a non-fulani. His mission was to be bice president and then edge out the president through herdsmen assassination
Or be a minister and strategize with the vice. A northerner

Are you also a blind BATolomeus, in addition to being a clueless tribal chauvinist?

Otherwise, why did you fail to answer the question below in the comment you quoted to reply huh

Young woman, there's nothing Elrufai did for Tinubu that Tinubu has not done ten times of it for Buhari. Let me enlighten you, Elrufai came into Tinubu's camp as an afterthought, he never supported Tinubu from the get go. Elrufai had his own candidate. The Majority of Northern Governors were with Tinubu which handicapped Elrufai to make a detour into Tinubu's camp. During the APC Primaries, Elrufai's delegates voted for Amaechi as he had ordered them. His romanticizing with Tinubu started after the primaries when his choice candidate, Ameachi lost.
Elrufai lacks the demeanor to play this political game, he's too unstable, emotional and predictable. When Oshiomhole was removed as APC Chairman through a coup, he remained calm and kept working for his party, never coming out to throw them under the bus. The perseverance finally paid off, Oshiomhole is back to the top still on the platform of APC. Elrufai refused to learn and I wish him good luck.

Why are you this daft, Tinubu singlehandedly fought his way to presidency. How many politicians can boldly say , It is my turn before their party primaries, that alone will disqualified him to have many haters. He fought hard to get.

Thank God Yorubas are telling the whole world by themselves that they are very good at deceiving and backstabbing people.

That is what this article is all about; how Tinubu played, deceived and backstabbed his political allies from the North to become President.
