All I will say is that at the end, it is mostly his party members. They can't do otherwise.

My own palaver is that the opposition is in total disarray. They seem not to be ready to build on and learn from the mistakes of 2023, where more people voted against APC than for APC. If not that the vote was divided between Atiku and Obi, Tinubu would have been living in retirement.

Anyway, there is still time.

CreativeOrbit:
So let me get this straight—you're saying that because Tinubu has increased the personal benefits of governors and lawmakers, it justifies their endorsement of him for a second term? Are you even listening to yourself? Since when did self-serving greed become a benchmark for national leadership?

What you’re defending isn’t governance; it’s a transactional racket where public funds are weaponized to buy loyalty from the political elite, all at the expense of the people. Increased allocations to governors? A billion naira for each National Assembly member under the guise of "constituency projects"? Show us the impact. Where are the results? Or do you think Nigerians are too blind or too beaten down to question this blatant looting?

You say, “Who else should endorse him?” How about the Nigerian people? Or do they not count in your idea of democracy anymore?

And your lazy jab about voters not coming out—do you even care to ask why? Maybe it’s because people are sick of a political system rigged in favor of politicians who endorse each other while the country crumbles. Maybe it's because no matter who they vote for, they end up with leaders more loyal to their bank accounts than the citizens.

Now let me ask you—is this what you think a president should be doing? Using national resources to bribe the political class into backing him? Is that your idea of leadership? If so, then you’re part of the problem.

Hasn't this been the reality since the inception of democracy in Nigeria? Why avoid confronting the unfortunate truths we face?

Joblessness

Have you ever encountered a situation where your phone was snatched and as you were lamenting and shouting for help to apprehend the fleeing thieves who snatched your phone another thief, a member of the gang pretending to be a sympathizer walks up to you, consoling you and telling you to calm down while dipping his hand in your pocket to pick your wallet knowing fully well you are in a confused state at that point and can't concentrate ? If you have not enountered such situation before now, you just did, this time on nairaland.

Don’t patronize me with that lazy “read again” nonsense. I read it just fine the first time—and what’s actually contradicting here is your ability to process what was said.

The man’s point was that governors and lawmakers are endorsing the president because he’s funneled more money their way—not because of national progress, not because of any transformative leadership, but because their pockets are heavier. That’s not a justification—it’s an indictment.

So when I call that out as corruption, not merit, you say I’m contradicting him? No—I’m exposing him. You’re just too comfortable with mediocrity and greed masquerading as governance to admit it.

Here’s the bottom line: if a president needs to grease the hands of governors and lawmakers with outrageous allocations just to earn their endorsement, that’s not democracy—that’s organized looting. And if you’re defending that, then don’t pretend you care about Nigeria. You're just defending a feeding trough because your favorite pigs are the ones eating.

Now go read that again—slowly this time.

All those doing the endorsements are the real enemies of Nigeria.

No be small ooo, so we are now watch out for part 2

ARISHEM:
TPAIN, Part 2.

Both of you are saying the same thing and on the same page...the difference is that he is stating the obvious while you are venting your anger on him (unnecessary) thinking he is justifying their actions...

Ure just plain stupid and ret@rded.
Governors now have moneybtonspend to better the lives of their citizens.
What is ur governor doing with those funds and how do u hold him accountable

Watch out for T-Pain part 2

More like brainwashed obidence and IPOB wailers.

Tinubu did not increase their allocation by 300%, stop spreading misinformation. Its not even up to 200% however he has reduced the value by over 300%

Britishpea:
Endorsing him means they want him to continue. Tinubu has increased the allocations of the governors to about 300% and National Assembly members each earns nothing less than 1B for constituency project. They earn way more than they have ever been since 1999

So who else should endorse the president for a second term if not them!

Are they not the coordinators of the votes during elections? 90% of those complainants don’t go out to vote!

Now this a bait for the lowest brains, complainants generals, lazy people, and ranters to attack me with their useless usual cry in my mentions

May God bless you. Mentally lazy people think social media votes is the true test of the direction of elections . Majority of the people that vote are in the rural areas . Youths are too divided and distracted to want to actually go and vote. Governors and reps give money to the poor rural people to go out and vote while the so called enlightened ones sit at home and say votes don't count . I can understand if you.just don't have a candidate to vote for. But you cannot support someone then sit at home without voting then come out to shout that elections are rigged .

how are they "the coordinators of the votes during elections"?

The same set of eediots who were abusing Sanni Abacha then that as a dictator he was transitioning the country to a one man party

God that will decide how 2027 will go

Just think they can hold the country into ransom

Like for change

share for Tinumbu.

Daily Trust - Atiku's newspaper.

Out thinking is good towards him

Now the government and the zombies here can feel the real pulse of what is awaiting them. Useless lots.

The reason you were asked to read the statement again is because the person you quoted never claimed it was a JUSTIFICATION, and neither did they suggest the actions were RIGHT. They simply pointed out the obvious (albeit selfish) reason why politicians were endorsing the president.

Nothing than for him to finish his 8 years and at least complete the reform he is doing to put this country back on track so next government can follow.

Nobody can fix the rot in Nigeria system which has be accuulatedfir over 38 years in just 2 years its not possible because Nigeria is like 4 or 5 countries put in one country its very difficult.

We don't speak same dialect not same culture, not same religion, not sat political belief, not same ideology, not same thinking, not same everything so it required great wisdom, hard decision, perseverance and true patriotism not a liar or a fraudster who want to force himself down our throats from 3rd position.

The reform must continue no Lair will be allow to set us back into fake life with heavy burden of debt unattended to again.

If you are not okay with Tinubu a Southern president to complete his 8 years as Buhari did pls quit Nigria and go.

Heffalump:
Tinubu in his performance so far as the country's president has come under severe criticism and painful attacks because of some insensitive policies and his past penchant for corruption. Also, having rogues and day-light robbers frolicking around his government leaves little to be desired about.

That said, in a contest between the "Bad and the Worst" I will always go for the "Bad" out of helplessness. If the contest is between Atiku and Tinubu, I bet you Tinubu will be far better. I don't like him for so many reasons, but Atiku, the fulani man will be worst for Nigeria. Anytime a Southern president is in power the North will start agitating to snatch power. Give them power and they will mess up everything and send Nigeria back to 50 years beyond redemption. Isn't that crazy? If power must shift to the North again, it has to be North-Central.

What if it's Tinubu and Obi, who would you vote for between the two?

You're a very wise man. I have said it that The incumbent wouldn't get a second term because of this rubbish he has been doing so far. The only reason he'd win is because the people who are suffering will not go out to vote. Only those that are benefitting will vote and they'll still vote him back.

So in 2027, expect turn out to be lower (the real ones o, except they padded it). And the incumbent might still win.

The political class is ganging up against the citizens. That explains why they are all going to that party.

IyfeNamikaze:

Obi, Atiku, El-Rufai and their likes should not contest. Nigeria needs fresh hands with solid track of honest and visionary leadership to deliver the country from the southward drive we have found ourselves. This country is bleeding and should not be allowed to bleed to death.

Leave all this propaganda, abeg.

It's not about price, but the purchase power. Even at the current prices, people buy more than they did when the prices were at the former.

How many people come to you daily crying of hunger? O ya lie....
