I’m glad you know only the North cannot win you an election.

Tinubu got 5.6M of his 8M plus votes from the North, not because he is loved by the North, but because he had backings of people the northerners respect and love which El Rufai and Buhari are part of.

If that 5.6M vote is divided in half, I don’t see what miracle will make him be reelected. He can’t get a united southern votes like Jonathan did in 2011 because the SE and SS will always vote in a pattern.
Southern votes and northern christian(North Central) votes are locked down for Tinubu.
Take that to the bank

They contributed nothing. What did Amaechi, Fayemi, Rauf and Malami contribute to Tinubu’s victory?

Even El-Rufai that is making the most noise, did he win his state for the party?
Okay o. So it's now about who won their States? You forget Tinubu is very unpopular and managing to scrap votes for him in most states was a miracle.

If you're insulting Elrufai because he didn't deliver Kaduna for Tinubu/APC then remember this;

- Bola Tinubu failed to deliver Lagos for himself

- Bola Tinubu failed to deliver Osun for himself

- Muhammadu Buhari failed to deliver Katsina for Tinubu/APC

- Barr Simon Bako Lalong failed to deliver Plateau for Tinubu/APC

- SP Akpabio failed to deliver Akwa Ibom for Tinubu/APC

- DSP Barau failed to deliver Kano for Tinubu/APC

- NSA Ribadu failed to deliver Adamawa for Tinubu/APC

- Sen. Adams Oshimole failed to deliver Edo for Bola Tinubu/APC

- Speaker Abbas failed to deliver Kaduna for Tinubu/APC

- Sen Kalu failed to deliver Abia for Tinubu/APC

- Hope Uzodinma failed to deliver Imo for Tinubu/APC.

- Sen. Adams Oshimole failed to deliver Edo for Bola Tinubu/APC

- Ganduje failed to deliver Kano for Tinubu/APC

- Gov. Mai Mala failed to deliver Yobe for Tinubu/APC

- Alkali failed to deliver Gombe for Tinubu/APC

- Sen. Wammako failed to deliver Sokoto for Tinubu/APC

- Oyetola failed to deliver Osun for Tinubu/APC

- Dave Umahi failed to deliver Ebonyi for Tinubu/APC

Are they also irrelevant and paper-weight politicianshuh

You guys are making the same mistakes PDP make in 2015

You're too quick to talk. Don't be like Gov. Sim Fubara that was making mouth some months ago. You have only seen El-Rufai move and you are talking this much. Relax and watch the game.


AMINDA:
APC is expending all its arsenal on Elrufai. "When you corner a rat, it will fight back". The so-called master strategist should have known this. They pushed Elrufai until he had his back to the wall and left him no room to wriggle. What did they expect him to do? Even in terms of optics, Tinubu has lost the moral high ground because all Nigerians saw how hard Elrufai worked for his election. There is also a public video of Tinubu begging Elrufai in Kaduna to stay behind and work with him. That alone screams betrayal and Northerners do not take betrayals lightly.

It's because of the concept of "Trust" (Amana) that made many Northerners go against Buhari’s body language to support Tinubu in the first place. Northerners take pride in keeping their word no matter what. Why then would Tinubu break that trust? He gambled. Elrufai was never a direct threat to Tinubu. At best, his competitors were other Northerners like Ribadu. If Tinubu wanted to take his pound of flesh from Elrufai, he should have waited until his second tenure was secured. That's what a smart politician would have done.

Elrufai is a very dependable ally but a very formidable foe. Tinubu can no longer get 5.6m votes in the North with Elrufai openly campaigning against him and I don't see him making up for that deficit anywhere in the South. Not with his lopsided appointments. Maybe Tinubu thought Elrufai would be desperate and go contest the election in another party thereby further splitting Northern votes. How wrong he was! Elrufai would do more damage in 2027 without being on the ballot than if he was on it. There's no Northerner currently in Tinubu’s cabinet that can counter the damage that Elrufai will do.

I want tinubu to be shaken politically because of the arrogance of his tribesmen. I know how I shouted my voice hoarse, making a case for his election. Even my own tribesmen publicly insulted me. Now, just imagine how arrogant and insulting they've become when you make a different opinion. Let them rely on wike.

Buhari no send anybody. Tinubu will have to fight hard to get 40 percent of the total votes he got from the north this time around. One thing I know is that you can't rig election in the north unless you're very popular, so game on.
They will eat his dollars ehhhhhh. The crazy thing about politics is that you must give cash ahead of any deal which is not assured

When you and Tinubu gathered against Jonathan, you don't know about South .

There's nothing about South..

Unlike minds don't form a political party.
Bola Tinubu paced all over the southwest region for 12 years asking for political restructuring of Nigeria because he knows that the political structure of 20 states in one region but 17 states in two regions is a FRAUD.
The CPC and ANPP that Tinubu’s SW party formed alliance with do not want to hear about political restructuring of Nigeria.

The aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “It is not about ousting Tinubu in 2027 but about our conviction that we have better and more credible constitutional alternatives to offer Nigerians in governance, particularly with regard to institutionalising a human-centred approach to governance.

“We collectively abhor the prevailing order in which governance is commercialised to the detriment of Nigerians and their welfare. It seems to be a marriage of tendencies that cut across the existing political parties with high-profile politicians from PDP, defunct CPC, ACN and APC among others.

A Tsunami is coming! Tinubu failed to consolidate on his victory and became too pompous. This is Nigeria, not Lagos. He failed to reconcile with the South and at the same time, began to antagonize the North despite tanking the economy and causing a cost of living crisis with his spontaneous fuel subsidy removal. Very poor strategy from someone who won with the least margin in the history of the country.

Meanwhile, his supporters online are jubilating and patting themselves on the back just because Buhari said he's still a member of the APC. Is "I am for everybody and I am for no-one" a joke to them? Buhari's political mantra is like Nigeria's diplomatic policy, "non-alignment". Besides, what is coming is bigger than Buhari.

We will all learn politics together.
Bruu nothing will change come 2027. Tinubu will do his second tenure, make the hypocrite abokis go regroup and f*ck themselves for all we care. Y’all underrate jagaban? He made burantashi’s Buhari’s first and second tenure possible if not the dullard for still dey cry every 4 years.

Meaning What, Bobloco and Associates- Social Media troilers.
Who amongst them can Boast of Any Integrity 🤔?
- they are just trying to mouled their respective States- As Pat Governors,Past Ministers and All the Humongous NBILLIONS Money were given to them and their Ministries and Depts -:they Can't Accounts For it,as they are testing the political waters!
Remember,we are just 2- yrs in Tinubu's govt,but they( Northerners, especially,just want disruption of govt) as they always live in Fears 😨 of Southern Dominations.
Please,check All of them( except for very Few),they have Skeletons in their Cupboards - as their States are Poorer than they met.
-They are Indirectly - fighting Tinubu's Corruption upbeats( directly or Indirectly - which Buhari Couldn't do for 8- years).
Just Too Bad,but they will be sink in their Schemes,as Anti-graft will get them! Just a matter of time!

APC knows what they are doing. Dont play with Tinubu.

LP did the work in 2023 and now, SDP will complete the mission in 2027

Elrufai will return in 2031 to claim the APC presidential ticket undecided

Please, Am I missing something? Are these not the same set of people in charge of this country under Buhari?
What else do they have to offer that they couldn't offer under 8 years of Buhari. It is becoming clear that politicians move because of their personal interest only. They can mouth the interest of the masses, but it's just a lipservice. What they will gain is the only interest that that have. If El-Rufai had been picked as the Minister of Power, will he not be defending Tinubu, now?

Are you joking?
Which part of the south?
He allowed Wike to bring down Fubara and you think he will win Rivers State again? Which other places in the South can he win apart from South West?

The North Central has not forgotten that Tinubu denied them the opportunity to become Vice President. They are nowhere to be found in the political equation.

If the Northern political elites are against Tinubu, it is over for him. The INEC Chairman rigged the election in his favour because prominent northern politicians approved of it. Yakubu is another JEGA. Goodluck Jonathan trusted JEGA too much but he was disappointed.

What will Agbado people do now by 2027? Tell the Northerners not to vote in Lagos or " go back to your region and vote the candidates of your choice?"
Will any Oba tell the Northerners that they will drown in a Lagoon if they don't vote BAT?
