It is only in Nigeria those who lost elections insist they must serve in the winner's government.

Did Ozekhome not serve as counsel to one of those who had petitions against Tinubu? After fighting against his elections, he should now insert them to do further damage?

That was how Osita Chidoka then in PDP was advising APC to choose a national chairman from the southeast. That was unfair to the northwest, southwest, southsouth and northcentral where Tinubu won at least a state. Even core APC southeast did not feel as entitled as Osita.

Anyway, Wike was not Tinubu's man. Bayo Ojulari was not Tinubu's man. Mele Kyari was not Tinubu's man. We can list several ministers who got there on merit. Tunji Alausa, Bunmi Tunji-Ojo, Badaru, Ibrahim Geidam, Christopher Musa, etc. Is Ozekhome unhappy that Lateef Fagbemi SAN is attorney-general? So the job should be given to someone who did bot accept Tinubu defeated their paymasters?

As for the talk that Tinubu is driving Nigeria to a one party state, it is not possible. APC does not even have 28 state governors as PDP had at some point. At that time, PDP did not turn Nigeria to a one-party state. PDP is crying because they plundered their chances due to individual greed and poor management. Even now, the party is at the mercy of Atiku's unwavering greed for power and Wike's quest to balance the scales. Until both Atiku and Wike leave PDP, PDP would never find peace.

You're funny, because you are not aware that oppositions in major countries of the world have a bigger role to play in governance of a country. This is Nigeria not APC. Even in house they're portfolios reserved for opposition parties. In this dispensation, APC didn't even happen ultimate majority. They can't pass any bill without lobbing the opposition.
You think that Tinibu is stupid when he gave people like Bianca Ojukwu a ministry? APC can't survive without consensus government.

jojothaiv:
All of them go dey alright.

This man need to listen to Aljannah by Kizz Daniel, his pain will go away.

😳🤣🤣🤣

Ozekhome na cruise,no sane person should take him seriously serious.
BAT till 2031!

Zeebuy:
Where's the lie?

The amusing thing is, Tinubu isn't actually putting them based on tribal affiliations, he's putting only his boys, who mostly happens to be from his Yoruba ethnic group, into these positions.
The rest of his tribesmen, and other Nigerians, no dey his agenda at all

What are these strtegic positions you guys are always talking about?

He should put people from the generality of Nigeria

AdesegunSanni89:
So make him put your own people there?

Only Yorubas will vote Tinubu come 2027

soullove1881:
They are all the same, from Jonathan to Buhari to Tinubu. I remember during Goodluck Jonathan’s era, even though he was made president with the support of Olusegun Obasanjo, a Yoruba man, he sidelined the Yoruba. Neither the Senate President, Deputy Senate President, Speaker, nor Deputy Speaker positions were given to them.

To other key positions like CBN, finance, ministry of work, power etc.

Bro, again they are all the same.

These una lies have been debunked over and over. How many Ijaw people or Niger Delta people occupied critical positions under Goodluck Jonathan's regime? Can you name them and their portfolios and compare with Tinubu.


Even Buhari in his own nepotism carried along not just Fulanis alone but the entire Northern Moslems, but Tinubu is putting only Yorubas in key critical positions, please be proud of it and be bold to admit it, stop twisting facts before us all

Thanks so much for this enlightenment. Politicians without ideology, they are just after their stomach.

The constitution has forseen and settled that if not the presidential system of government we are practicing is the winner takes it all.

What can you do about that? Let him enjoy his time.

Our constitution is more of consensus government because one must be the government of Nigeria not a particular section or party. We have things like federal character and co. Look at National Assembly, if opposition stand their ground they will either speaker or Senate president! No party will ever ultimate majority. Winner take all is a mirage in Nigerian politics

TreasureJunky:
We will see to the end. I wonder what will become of Nigeria after Tinubu must have left power

If he leaves power , this is a lesson to all Nigerians , whoever told you that abacha is a kid compared to the tyranny of Nadeco? Or that the real cabal is the south west ? The real hegemony is them

First of all, how am I a Yoruba in this context?
I’m sure you’re defending him because you claim he's Igbo, as Jonathan actually pointed out.

In any case, my comment is about federal character. When Jonathan was busy appointing Igbos to all the key positions, you were all silent. As for Tinubu, he hasn't done perfectly either, but thank God he didn’t appoint only Muslims to key roles. In fact, aside from the President and Vice President being Muslims, those currently managing the country's affairs and economy are mostly Christians. From the Senate to the CBN, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Works, and so on.

Now, to address your emotional arguments:
The Deputy Speaker is Igbo, and the Minister of Works is also Igbo. However, if you look at the allocations under Umahi compared to the national budget and other ministries, you’ll see he's controlling the equivalent of 12 ministries in one. You can do the math yourself. None of this happened under Jonathan for the Yorubas.

And if you're talking about the South-South region, which some Igbos claim as theirs, the Senate President is from there, the FCT Minister is from there, and the Minister of State for Petroleum is also from there, among others.

Again, the person who started this pattern was Jonathan. Let’s leave emotions aside, bro.

And if tomorrow, Obi or any Igbo president does the same thing, I’ll still call it out. I don’t base my views on unnecessary emotions.

And what do you expect him to do?

Abeg go and sit down ,you guys are the real purveyor of hate in Nigeria, you people because of political power sowed seed of discord and hatred among the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria, that we don't even know how to get out of till now ,nobody needs to pray for a nebuchadnezzar, whose mind is made up of the evils he I tends doing and has been doing, such prayers will not be answered
I did not wish him death, I was referring to his ambition, I know too much about the laws of creation to do that,it is in that vein I made the statement, may if I had put it like this, man proposes but God disposes maybe it will have sit well with you

purveyor of hate? Coming out from a man whose region 'yes daddily' cast 95% of its vote for a particular candidate and at the same time accusing other regions of ethnic sentiment/ hate? Are you not ashamed of this comment of yours?

If Mr Tinubu picked his own tribes Men and friends to occupy key positions in government and the Economy is still in Disaster, then Tinubu tribes Men are as Clueless as Tinubu

When it's your turn appoint your enemies to do the job for you, and know how it's work.

If you can't join the train fond tricycle to run your self

You people keep shifting the goal post all the time. You all claimed that Tinubu will start killing Christians as soon as he becomes president. Same Tinubu who has Christians as family members, friends and even close associates as Christians will start killing Christians.

Why una dey lie like this?
Where did anyone ever say tinubu will start killing Christians?

Well, someone say your tribe has a penchant for telling lies and then believing the lies😐

I don't care whether you're from the north or from Sudan. You came here to claim people said tinubu will start killing Christians.
I thought northerners are known for being truthful. I'm utterly disgusted by you

Tinubu put his friends and family in power not about his tribe . Tinubu tribe are complaining too .
