Not like the present administration is performing or even trying to perform, infact it is the worst administration I have seen so far on earth. So what is tinubu offering this people that the rest of us don't know about

Oga Fergie001, what is going on my brother?
So you didn't see Tinubu performance? Meaning you are not in the country or you are expecting everything in Naija to be free. Jagaban is hard decision taker, reason people support him

Promise of VP is not realistic.....
The SS has run ahead of us. We may try luck but we must be realistic. If VP no gree, make our natural position touch us, SP.
Did I not tell you people to learn how to play politics? I am a big fan of Umahi and other Ibos in APC have worked hard but unfortunately your people were backing the wrong horse and the SS smelt the coffee ahead of you.


Ordinarily the next southern VP and president should be Ibo but you haven’t played your cards well.

I have said it many times Obi is unelectable. He is the wrong type of Ibo and the longer the SE queue up behind him the longer it takes to retrace your steps and the further you fall behind the queue!

After Tinubu, we Yorubas have no right or claim to presidency or VP for the next 40 yrs. Get your act together or a Yoruba May even become VP or president again before you.

I really feel for Umahi. He’s been a loyal party man and an excellent minister but his people have so far let him down. Like Orji Kalu said recently, the way you negotiate in politics is with votes!

Some of us who resided in Lagos almost all our lives know how it works. We were shouting ourselves hoarse about it pre-2023. Nigeria will be Lagos 2.0 and there is nothing anybody can do about it. It's Tinubu's world and we are all living in it.

Someone that can dare buhari and Nigerians by emi lokan when he is not in power and now in power . You don't need prophet to tell u that it is only God that can remove him against 2027.
Bro Tinubu is very dangerous.

The clue was how he won the APC primaries and presidential election. No politician on this earth can survive the obstacles that man survived to be president.

But I think aside his strategy, luck is also on his side. The luck of Atiku and Obi differing till the end not to contest together is not ordinary.

All the politicians of repute from the North are now in APC. We are waiting for Kwakwanso to complete his Medicals too.

You guys should eschew itself of envy and hate for Tinubu. You better join him now that the door is open so your upcoming generation won’t continue with the mantle “They are marginalizing us”.

The question is how bad is the leadership of the opposition under Atiku and Obi that no one wants to associate with them? For Gods sake the party that controls his state just openly declared total suppprt for his rival!

I don’t think we should waste money on elections in 2027.

El Rufai right now!
A lot of you make me laugh with this infantile reasoning
You think it's about Atiku or Obi?
Senators are defecting because they know there's no consequence for their defecting and it will make their reelection easier regardless of whatever local conditions prevail in their constituencies
It's about political survival lad and not any individual preference. A lot of you used to think Tinubu will swallow Bode George if he ever gets power. He got power and instead sent emissaries to pacify George.
When politicians converge across party lines, the people tend to matter less as the system that's supposed to work for them becomes rigged against them.

Go and study politics 101. Some expo..... other parties are worthless. Other likely presidential candidates cannot win election because they are not organized forget about the social media noise. Everyone is beginning to see that PBAT's reforms are real and are headed in the right direction. If he wins re-election and drives the reforms for eight years he might end up being one of the greatest presidents from this nation. PBAT has a track record of delivering whatever you agree with him eg. Wike. So if every other roof is leaking and there's no hope of repair and there is one roof that is solid and dependable wouldn't you go there and take cover?

but he swore this oath on May 29, 2023. how has he kept this oath?

I, .............. do solemnly swear/affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I will discharge my duties to the best of my ability, faithfully and in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the law, and always in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well-being and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will strive to preserve the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy contained in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or my official decisions; that I will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will abide by the Code of Conduct contained in the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that in all circumstances, I will do right to all manner of people, according to law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will; that I will not directly or indirectly communication or reveal to any person any matter which shall be brought under my consideration or shall become known to me as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, except as may be required for the due discharge of my duties as President; and that I will devote myself to the service and well-being of the people of Nigeria. So help me God.

Everything that is happening now I predicted long time ago. I said it that no Northern Governor is going to support Atiku.

casualobserver:
People need to be a bit more discerning.

ElRufai wanted to be a minister. Therefore he is clearly still politically ambitious. For someone who has been a governor and a minister what else is there to aim for but the presidency or possibly the VP as a stepping a stone. Park that for now.

Northern ambitious politicians especially some governors want to be president. An opening is coming up for the North either in 2027 or 2031. If you as an ambitious northern politician don’t seize that opportunity, that’s your chance of being the president gone. A Northern president in 2027 cannot hand over to another northerner in 2031 or 2035 especially after denying the South its 2 terms.

The idea that ElRufai, Atiku, Kwankwanso, Bala Mohammed or the likes of Sule Lamido or Tambuwal will work for each other to make one the president in 2027 is to me a fallacy! And to me this is where the alliance unravels. Atiku will run, constitutionally he can’t be a VP again meaning any northern heavy weight supporting him is basically kissing goodbye to any presidential ambition.

My prediction: they will fail to form an alliance or will engage in anti-alliance activities and split the votes again. Be under no illusion, there are ambitious Northern opposition heavyweights who want to be president and would rather wait for 2031 by which time 1) Atiku their main threat would be too old to run thus giving them a smoother path and 2) they would be able to count on undiluted southern votes. Nobody is doing this out of the interests of the people. Where you stand is based on how the permutations serve you politically. It is politically suicidal for any ambitious northern heavy weight to back any northern candidate other than himself. For the same reason the likes of Fayemi, Osinbajo, Tunde Bakare etc contested against Tinubu….they knew it is then or never. After Tinubu the SW will not be president for 40 years….a generation!

For an ambitious northern politician, he knows it is better to back a southern candidate in 2027. Furthermore, he also knows backing Tinububserves his interests better because he can’t contest again in 2031. If he backs a fresh southern candidate like Amaechi or Obi, they could break any agreement to serve one term like Jonathan at which point they would also have the power of incumbency. If Atiku wins he can’t handover to another Northerner so It does not serve the interest of ANY northern governor whether PDP or APC to back another Northerner in 2027 other than himself.

I say this not because I support Tinubu. For me the logical, smart move for an ambitious Northern governor or politician is to back, be seen to back and deliver for Tinubu in 2027. A Sule lamido, Tambuwal, Kwakwanso, Bala Mohammed, even Saraki have nothing to gain politically by backing Atiku or aligning with ElRufai if they nurse ambitions to be president themselves. With Atiku out of the picture in 2031, the SW vote and Tinubu’s backing will play a big role if not determine which Northerner becomes president in 2031.

Politicians make deals all the time, In 2011 despite ACN having a presidential candidate Tinubu made a deal with Jonathan and delivered SW votes. In 2023, Wike and Makinde made a deal with Tinubu. Again I repeat your relevance in politics is predicated on your ability to deliver votes. ElRufai has no votes backing him. The only Northerners I can see as part of any coalition especially are those who are either political lightweights or have no presidential ambition. When the time comes those who have votes and have ambitions will make the right deals for them. Leave ElRufai and his social media content. We know the fate of all social media politicians like Sowore and Fela Durotoye.

So you see, personal ambition will trump any alliance and all that is happening now is just noise.

The difference between this proposed alliance/merger and the Tinubu/Buhari alliance is that the APC merger was a win win for everybody involved in the merger. Tinubu did not want to be president in 2015, so he was happy just to have his party at the center…..win, Buhari became president….win, Amaechi became minister….win, Saraki became senate president….win…..none of the leaders of the blocks that merged were interested in the presidency. The eastern flank represented by Rochas and Ngige were not interested in becoming president. This merger will only produce a win for one and career extinction for the others and that’s why it won’t work. A good deal is a deal where everyone gets what he wants.
